If you threw a grenade at me you'd die with your arm still extended out.

I'll give 5:1 odds Brad could nail this punk before he even got the pin out.
Takers?

After you get some bets can we actually try it out? Please? :D

@ yzzim: yeah i'd have to say the head needs to be buzzed first...if it's not the nair probably won't get to the root. It might not even work if the hair is buzzed if you dilute it with shampoo anyway.

@bradruth...what's are you shootin'?

Get some friends to help and one day when your roomate goes to bed uber drunk grab his bed and move it out into the median of a street. He'll be pleasantly surprised when he wakes up.

Mash up butterscotch candies/losenges, unscrew the showerhead and put as many in as you can fit without restricting water flow. The hot water will melt the candies and the sugary mess will cover the pranked. Can't towel it off cause it'll be too sticky. Can't rinse it off in the shower till you have run the hot water through the shower for a few hours to disolve all the rest. Enjoy.

God that sounds horrible.


My favorite is filling a ziplock bag with baby powder and then putting the open end under a door. Make sure it won't slip back out and stomp on the bag...

Works even better if you get them while they're sleeping ;).

I installed Netbus on my roommate's computer because he was a total dick. I kept booting him off AIM, so he called AOL and demanded they remove the virus from his screenname. Then I kept closing his programs, so he assumed it was his power supply (?!). He bought a replacement. Then when that didn't fix it, he bought a new video card. After that, a new motherboard. After he spent almost $300 on new hardware I figured he'd had enough. Of course he was still an asshole.

Apac, you beat me to it. That's a great one. What a mess.

When I lived in the dorms, we found out (the hard way) that taping several pennies together could lock someone inside of their room.

Here's how it works. Have one guy lay on the ground in the hallway and push his feet into the bottom of the closed door really hard. This flexes the door enough to slip about 4-6 pennies in the gap just under the door lock/handle thingy. This puts a lot of pressure on the latch and renders the door useless.

Once the pennies are in, you can not get out of the room. The door will not open. The only way to get out (short of breaking the door) is to have someone put pressure on the outside of the door and remove the pennies.

Once you have a captive audience, you can do all sorts of mean stuff to them, like the talcum powder trick.

I've seen rules written against that specific practical joke at colleges.. be careful!
Most people in the dorms leave their room unlocked when they go to take a shower.. practice this on your own door first: remove door handle... reverse &amp; replace.
When victim is in the shower - find his keys, reverse his handle (should take about 1 minute or less when you're good. Less time if you have a cordless screwdriver or drill). Then, lock him in his room. (besides - any moron can pull the old pennying the door closed trick. )

Holy crap... this stuff is whack but funny. I don't hate my roommate, he's just a little annoying. I don't want to open myself up to pranks too by starting this.

EDIT: If I heard someone pennylocking my door, looked through the eyehole, and saw who it was... there'd be hell to pay. I'm thinking buy a ton of stinkbombs and use them on the fvckwad's room weekly. If I was asleep that'd suck... I'd still try to find out who it was though.

*************************WARNING, I TAKE NO REPSONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOUR ROOMATE DOES TO YOU IF YOU DO THE FOLLOWING**********************************














While they are sleeping, unzip your zipper. Rub your finger across their lips, when they wake up and look at you, zip up your zipper real quick.

And brace yourself for a beatdown with the nearest blunt object....

Possibly, you should just get a couple WTF's. You will however be hit if you put your finger in his mouth instead of just rubbing it across his lips.

typical prank, i took the doors of two guys i didn't like, and tied them together using a series of bungee coords, then proceeded to knock on both their doors. They both tried to open the door and obviously forced the other individuals door shut. The smart one climbed out his window, walked into the dorm and punched me, than sat with me as we watched the other guy try to get out of his room frantically.

We would throw cold water on each other (in little 6oz dixie cups) enough for the "oh haha" effect.. then my roommate got hit and he escalated it. He found out who hit him, filled up three 64oz cups of cold water, THREW IN ICE into one of the cups, then hit the guy in the shower. The first blast was like "whoa!, the second was like "OMG!" and the third with the ice caused a lot of pain from what i understood.

One time while a guy was going #2, refer to above prank, use imagination as to results.

During a precollege program, my roommate was a total d!ck. I didn't actually do anything to him, but he took sleeping pills and was completely out of it by 10 PM. One of my friends came in and dumped powdered lemonade mix on him. That's pretty fun stuff, you have to avoid all moisture or you get sticky as hell

then there's the one where you find a low coffee table that will fit on their bed. Wait for them to fall asleep, then gently place the coffee table directly above their head. Now yell loudly, and be sure to laugh at them when they lurch upright only to hit their head on the table.

one thing that works GREAT at a small college is to wait until it's really late at night, then get a BUNCH of guys to pick up some cars and strategically place them where they block all the doors at one of the other dorms (except the EMERGENCY EXIT-ALARM WILL SOUND doors...don't want to get in TOO much trouble). Make sure no one gets caught. I wasn't involved with this one :evil:

Great fun can be had with a small radio and one of those short-range radio transmitters. Especially since modern radios get so small!

If your dorm has shared bathrooms with stalls around the toilets, go into a different hall/floor/cluster/whatever, and remove the stall walls. Hide them somewhere.

Oh yeah, and make friends with someone who gets access to the master keys at some point. Maintenance, security, whatever, if you're lucky you can have an unmonitored entrance and exit, not to mention a place to hide.

I'll go with a classic, get a slice of cheese and cut a 1/3" piece off it and put it under
the flap on the inside of a baseball cap. After a few days the heat and moisture from
the forehead will make the hat smell really nasty. Dont use american cheese, get
something like lindberger, colby, or swiss..
