This was probably the best prank we ever did. There was this total asshole on our floor, so we decided to get him bad. He took a shower at the same time every morning in the same shower. So my friend went out and picked up some powedered blue dye, we took off the shower head and filled it on up. About 10 minutes later he was in the shower, heard him yelling and cussing. He was blue for about 4 days.

Hmmm...been trying that, eh?

I was a little terror when I was bout 10...I remember going to this singing/church thing (You know...the Salty Singing Book or whatever) and me and my friend going into the bathrooms and coating the toilet paper with that Cinnimon air freshener...ouch! Then we would smear liquid soap all over the toilet seat(it was clear and you couldn't tell....:D ) and faucets, door handle etc. etc...then we would wait and listen to the "aaaaaahhhh ewwwwwww!!!!" 's coming from the bathroom....:D:D;):cool:

I'm moving in to my dorm in a couple weeks. You guys are scaring me. I absolutely would not tolerate some of the crap you guys are talking about (doing sh1t in my room, tampering, etc). I think I'll take my killing knife with me.

This one is not a college prank but one my friend did in grade school.

He has very bushy eyebrows and used to pull his eyebrow hairs out. One day he decided to take one of those soft erasers and take his eyebrows and stick them into it with his mechanical pencil. After a while he had this bushy eraser which he then gave to some girl in his class.

The girl was not very happy.

This is a prank that one could do if they had access a school's pool. Basically, it involves converting the entire pool to jello with tons and tons of mix.

Tricky to do, but it would be hilarious if anyone actually managed to do it.:)

Datafly:

Unfornately, the pool trick is not a good idea AT ALL. It takes thousands of dollars to fill up a large pool with water and the proper chemicals. Not to mention that from what I've read, jello would mess up all the filtering equipment. To set that prank right would cost thousands and would also constitute as vandalism. Not to mention the school would be damn sure they found out who did it. Sorry to rain on your parade. :(




On the plus side:

A really disgusting prank you can do, assuming the dorm has hook-style door handles (as opposed to knobs), is to wipe your butt as normal, but save the soiled paper. Take it down the hall and wipe it on the BACK of a door handle. The person grabs the handle and walks away with their hand covered in poo. Works every time! :D

I thought this one would already be in here.

Get some saran wrap, lift the lid on the toilet and cover the bowl with a nice tight cover of the plastic. If done correctly it is very hard to see. Put the lid back down and wait for someone to take a dump.

They used to do the trash can trick filled with water in our dorm to, except they put them in the elevators.

We collected enough beer cans to fill the RA's doorway once. They were all empty except for a few opened cans in the middle. He opened the door and kicked the stack spilling the beer in his room.

One of the ag students put a chicken in the RA's room over a long weekend when he was gone. Chicken crapped everywhere.

The Sirloin Stockade bull always ended up in the middle of the school pond the week before spring break. Bolt cutters are indepensible for some pranks. ;)


Pranks can be fun, but don't do anything to get kicked out of school, it's not worth that.

Another good one is hacking into someone's answering machine and getting the codes and changing their message. This happened to a friend of mine. Some dude (we never found out who) then listed his answering machine and name on some gay SM site. When he came back from vacation, the outgoing message was pornographic and guys were leaving perverted messages with their phone numbers on them. Hahaha. It was soo funny. I applaud the guy who did that. It was genius.

The funniest part was when his girlfriend left and message and said WTF was up with his message.

Well before RC5, our version of hacking consisted of dialing the dude's phone until the answering machine responded. It was usually a 99 number passcode.

Haha

Whats the organic chemicals or whatever the technical term is that you can put in someone's drink to change the color of their piss?

my suitemate used to always come over to our dorm to use a spray bottle i had (don't know why, i think my mother had given it to me to do laundry) to do his hair before he went out every night. so my other suitemate and i get the idea of replacing the water in the bottle wiht hydrogen proxide. so we switch it out and test to see if we can see and diffence and you cant. so a few weeks later his hair is way lighter. he went from brunette to almost blond. most other people in the dorm knew what was goin on. they would all ask him what happened to his hair. he said he didn't know, he had checked his shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, everyhting and coudn't figure it out. he went on for almost another month and his hair turned a shade of orange. finally one night my roomate got pissed off at me and told my suitemate what we did. it was so funny.

one of the things we did when in dorm:


Our dorm had a tile floor and concrete walls, but the doors to the dorm rooms were made like they belonged in alcatraz. They were solid metal (or so seemed), plus they closed automatically, and if you didn't catch them before they shut, they slammed with a huge BAM! I mean, like gunshot sound BAM! Worse, it echoed horribley from the tile floor and concrete walls.

We asked for sometype of door cushion to stop the noise (it's hard to catch the door when you are drunk ;) ) but they woulndt even give us felt stickeys or anything. Sooo...


The RA and RM bunked on our floor. Most of the guys on our floor (more than 50) agreed to get up around 3 am and get everybody ready. All of us at the same time opened our doors and as hard as we could, slammed them shut... There hasn't been a noise like that on this planet since the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. Our RA & RM came stumbling out of their rooms in total shock... To a deserted hallway with a bunch of giggling hiding guys in their dorm room.

Well, that wasn't the end of it. Turned out they heard the sound across most of the campus, and even some of the residentail areas near campus. They all thought an explosion or terroist attack had happened. We had 6 (i counted them) fire trucks, and at least that many cop cars outside within 20 minutes.

hehe. Nobody got kicked out (we denied everything of course), and we got felt linings on the door frame to cushion the impact of the doors.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Ooooohhhh man...sorry to be a little OT of this thread, but I noticed soapdish's sig. Was that a real quote? Seems like a little NASS-T for a Mod...?

Another time, one of our floormates had his girlfriend over. All of us were hanging out in the floor lounge when those two came out in the afternoon. We started talking to them when one of my friends said. "Ewww is that a pube in your mouth?" That guy ran to the bathroom so fast it was hysterical.

There was no pube. He was just joking!

That's one hell of an epitaph from the mods soapdish ...wish I was there to see that one.

...well I remember one time coming back from a frat party with a friend from the floor and he decided to rip an entire bathroom sink off the wall ...needless to say the whole floor flooded fast.

But that was not the end of it ...the funniest part is this happened at like 3AM and before anyone noticed, his roomate (who was also a nutjob [& waysted at the time] and back from an altogether different party) went out of the dormroom and hoisted up the sink and proceeded to throw it off the 7th floor balcony. This was a gigantic porcelain/ceramic sink ...oh man the campus police weren't happy about that one. Especially since it ended up in a parking lot down below.

I was on a first name basis with the RD of my dorm ...it's a good thing I got out of there after sophmore year. We used to use the resident dorm geek's bowling ball (a real full sized one) and set up 10 bud bottles at a time and bet money on that on weekends. The whole one end of the hall was one gigantic pile of brown glass by Monday morning

take a light bulb and break it really carefully not to break the wire inside that lights up take a firecraker and tie the string part to the wire in the light..then scree it back in the lamp making sure the power is off....put some dog pooh in the bulb and then when it turns on poop will be all over the room!!!!

very entertaining but hard to do

This isn't a nice one, but this guy was a prick(he hit a girl on our floor the night before). We took 10 lbs of powdered sugar, put it under his door(it was locked, but there was a space) and used a leaf blower. Needless to say, his room was a winter wonderland.:)

LOL i'm in the dorms right now, and damn i can't wait to get back off winter break ;)

i can't believe no one's used the potential of NetBus >=)

i'm fairly close friends with some of the girls in our building, and needless to say i get a LOT of requests to come fix some printer, network, or general computer problem. one day, i was in one of my friend's dorms, fixin' up her network, trying to figure out why the DHCP server wasn't givin her an IP. anyway, i remembered i had netbus on my computer. i quickly networked over to it and installed it, making sure i deleted all shortcuts, had it installed in a hidden dir, and checked auto-run w/ windows and run hidden.

about a week later me and my roomate were bored, and he reminded me about it. i Netbus'ed into her computer, uploaded the notorious Donald Duck BJ mp3 file, and hit play several times. i even popped up an IE window to some harsh porn site. about 5 minutes later i had assumed she wasn't home or whatnot, and was reading on my bed. she BURSTS into the room, as if she'd seen a ghost, asking me if i knew what the hell it was. i played innocent of course, going mostly "huh?" and "wait what did you hear again?" i looked at my roomate and he had to put his head under his pillow to keep from bursting outloud, i swear it was the hardest thing in the world for me to keep from bursting out myself, when she left we rolled around laughing forever ;)

another time one of my friends asked one of my girl friends (girl who is a friend) out , first date. he came to me asking me to make him a custom easy listenin' cd for the car ride, mostly consisting of barry white, boyz2men, bryan adams, and the like. of course i help him out, but at the end of compiling the list into Nero to burn, i decided what the hell- you guessed it. i stuck the donald duck file (this thing's getting a lot of use ;) ) inbetween one of the tracks. after the date he comes back, absolutely furious with me. "we were parked outside the restaurant after dinner, just talking, and it was going REALLY well. the music nice, so i turned it up. suddenly i hear donald duck getting a blowjob ?! WHAT THE F**K MAN?! she freaked the HELL out !!" needless to say i was hysterical when i heard that myself ;) later i told her i was the one that made the cd and we all had a good laugh, although i'm still watching my back when he's around ;)

i'm going to miss moving out next year :)

just remember not to do anything stupid- we've got some really strict RAs and RD so i haven't been able to do most of the stuff listed here. that beer bowling thing would get us kicked out in a flash ;)

curious, what colleges/universities do/did you guys attend to do these ? :)

I don't go to college myself, but I have a few friends all in the same dorm. One of them used to be an RA, so he's well-known, and the other is the SA over the whole dorm. It is an all guys dorm. Needless to say, we'll be trying to think of some good stuff to do. The one that JeremyJoe suggested sounds funny!!! I think I'll try that on one of my friend's RA......
