List Yourself, Part 2

#72: List the fantastic pranks you've successfully pulled off.

I have...

...left cement parking barriers on several friends' doorsteps (with the hauling help of an F-150 and one superhuman named Todd Floyd).

...popped out of an unsuspecting neighbor's pantry as she was putting away groceries.

...abandoned a jar of pickle brine with Swedish Fish floating in it (with some random poem attached) on the neighbor's doorstep.

...stolen a lemur and a pumpkin for ransom (on separate occasions).

...left a bra hanging from the neighbor's door as retaliation for the box of feminine products she left taped to ours.

...taped dozens of plastic grocery bags, toothpaste boxes, and a picture of Richard Simmons to that same neighbor's door.

...pulled all pranks either with or upon this neighbor, now that I think about it.

Those were the days. Any good pranks to share?

I guess I've led a very boring life. I can't think of one prank I've pulled, unless snipe hunting at YW camp counts. I guess you have to know the right people...

Kirsty said...

There's always penny tapping, of course.

Life with the Warrens said...

i was once was caught doing all sorts of "nasty" things to a neighbor's house when the across the street a man and his shot gun greeted us and scared us all half to death. needless to say we left screaming!

I haven't done much in the prank department, but if I could tell...you'd have a few from the G.A. side of the family!

Alisa once asked Josh to a dance under a false name. They had a private agreement to go to this dance, but she hadn't formally asked him yet (he thought). He came over to tell her he'd been asked by Jen(?) and Alisa said, "That's all right—there's someone else I wanted to go with anyway."
Josh said, "That's all I needed to know," and walked out of the house. Then Alisa chased him down outside to tell him the truth.

Paul said...

No confessions from me.

YAY! I am so glad you found me! I've thought about you a lot but could never figure out a way to track you down and get in touch once again (except remembering your NetID had something to do with holycow....). haha I never even got to go to your baby shower! I have a lot to catch up on, so I imagine I'll be reading your blog all day today in between working! :) heehee I hope you are doing well!

Angie said...

Can you imagine my delight/pride as I read your blog? What fabulous times we had at the Moon!

A few comments:

1) I do not remember you jumping out of my pantry, but I LOVE the idea!

2) The bra/Always pads box fiasco was wonderful, wasn't it? ;)

3) I feel such pride when I remember that Todd Floyd and I tricked you and Suz into going to a neighbor's apt to "rearrange furniture" while we returned Richard Simmons and wrote the word "monkey" on your wall with the toothpaste boxes. We were as giddy as schoolgirls hiding next door, waiting for your response!

4) Was that the same time I put toothpaste under your doorknobs? Evis did NOT like that! Ha ha ha!

5) Remember the night before I graduated, when we had a girl sleepover and Tim and Todd lit firecrackers just outside the front door (after knocking, and we foolishly opened it!)
And how we got them back by splashing ketchup all over their front door like blood!

Oh, the memories are too much for me! I LOVED being your neighbor!!!

I smashed a creme pie in Scott Hansen's face in the middle of Mr. Willis' biology class. I thought I would be suspended, but Mr. Willis just told me to clean up and that he probably deserved it.

Alisa said...

Lots of toilet paper in my day. Do they still do that?

The Suz said...

Both the pantry and pickle incidents happened to the same apartment, but not to the same neighbors. Different years, same great time.

Waste not, want not. Old stuff makes for the best pranks. Thanks for the good times.

Brittany said...

Yeah, I should have clarified that the apartment was the recipient of all the pranks, not necessarily its occupants. Still...classic.

Vern said...

not enough room to list all the crap I've done, but my very best prank ever was submitting my friend's profile to the BYU Alumni magazine with a frumpy picture - they published it!!
