    Way back in the day, BGEBrent and I coached a soccer team together.  We had a neighbor that Brent had a moderate dislike for.  One Saturday night after a number of adult beverages we put 3 M80's into that guy's mailbox.  It blew off the post and ended up in 3 pieces in the street.  Brent felt so guilty, he bought a new one and replaced it on Sunday before the guy ever knew.

    I like to fart in a small glass tumbler, turn it upside down, and leave it on the counter.  It's amazing how long the smell will stay in there, and the person who turns it over gets a real treat.
    You moved to the #1 spot on my favorite Eggers with this story.  

    I did did this to my aunt when I was 12.  I put a little water in a Tupperware container, farted into it, and immediately sealed it.  My cousin said “What’s in the  green tupperware? It reeks!”  She took a big pull and gagged.  To a 12 year old, it was an unmatched moment in comedy. 

    If I remember correctly, you’re from the midwest as well, right? Nebraska fan?


    Yes!  Live in Florida now, but was in Lincoln for many years and consider myself a Husker thru and thru.  This kind if shenanigans was before my Nebraska days.

    I will say, I got this idea from a classmate at West Point that would take his Army issue tumbler and do exactly this on a SAMI (Saturday Morning Inspection) day. The inspecting Officer would find this on the counter and not in the proper place in the medicine cabinet and would give him a real ass chewing and would, at some point, pick up the tumbler and be in for a real treat.  Dude got more than a few area tours for doing that.

    My brother is famous for pulling pranks but also is a bit of a hypochondriac. He came to stay at our house and after he went to bed we put a lot of orajel (topical lidocaine) on his toothbrush. 

    after he brushed his teeth (and realized he wasn't having a stroke) he came downstairs an mumbled 4 letter words at us.

    There were a lot of funny ones in college, but the one that never got old involved a can a shaving cream.  We'd knock the top of it off, toss it in someone's dorm room and shout, "GRENADE!"  And then hold the door shut as the thing rolled around spraying cream everywhere.


    * - I don't honestly recall how we got it to spray. We either knocked the top off, held the trigger town with something or punched a hole in it with a screwdriver (likely). But it was easy enough for college kids to figure out... and shaving cream was cheap.

    Our freshman dorm had these doors on the rooms that were inset away from the hallway, by about 4 inches.  So a routine prank became putting newspaper across someone's doorway late at night, taping it to both sides, almost to the top.  Then you would pop about 20-30 bags of popcorn and fill that entire space with the stuff.   When they woke up in the morning and opened their door, all that popcorn would come streaming into their room.

    One trick in freshman dorm was to fill a large manila envelope with shaving cream, slid the open end under some ones door then stomp on the envelope. Another was to slide about 4 pennies between the door jam and the lock of somebodies room while they were in it. That locked them in their own room until they could convince someone to remove the pennies.

    The elevator in my freshman dorm opened to one side for all the floors but to the opposite side when it got down to the lobby.  We would fill a 55 gallon trash can with cans and bottles and anything else we could think of and lean it up against the back elevator door and send it down to the first floor.  When it got there everything would crash down on the security guard who's desk was right beside the elevator.  We would hear him cussing from the second floor. 

    All the doors to the dorm rooms opened into the room instead of out into the hallway so it was common practice to fill the same trashcan with water and lean it up against someone's door.  You would open the door in the morning and the water would come crashing in on you.  Not much you could do about it except get out of the way quick. 

    40 guys lived on the floor and we got a nice bill for $78 each for damages when we finished freshman year.  $3120 total for broken exit signs and a water fountain that was ripped from the wall one night.  Still don't know the story behind that one.

    I forgot we used to do something similar to that.  We would take an aerosol febreze can and duck tape the trigger.

    My friend in high school had a late 80's Grand Marquis. That thing was a tank. We used to beat on that thing. We had that car airborne a few different times. 

    My other friend in high school had a Dodge 600 that was a hand me down from his grandma. AKA the Dodge Sh*thundred. One day waiting in line waiting to leave the high school parking lot my friend with the Grand Marquis and my other friend with the Sh*thundred drove as close as they could to each other's vehicle to be funny. Somehow the corner of my friends Grand Marquis big a** front bumper got stuck inside the front fender of the Dodge Sh*thundred. To the point where they couldn't get it unstuck. The two cars were literally stuck together. Causing no one else to be able to leave the parking lot. They both had their cars in reverse pulling each other around. Eventually the Sh*thundred gave up the fight and the whole front fender got ripped out from the bumper of the Grand Marquis. Absolutely hilarious watching the fender get ripped out. That Marquis drove like a dream and was built like a tank!
