Heya guys! Help with a prank?

Yeah, braving the slowness of the summer-without-DSL (how do you dialup users do it?) and I could use some collective AT brilliance. Two good male friends of mine are hanging out at the home of one of them tonight, no doubt a fest of StarCraft and Counter-Strike, and me and the girlfriend of one of the guys wanna pull some type of prank. Her bf had his car saran-wrapped recently, and the other guy was part of a collective where they stapled paper cups together, all over the floor, and filled them with water, so those two ideas are out. I was thinking of getting a bunch of glowsticks, cutting them open, and doing something (what?) with the glow stuff (anyone know if that's safe?) or, if I can figure out a way, moving his car a few blocks away so it's "stolen" in the morning. But obviously I'm not too creative (and I'd prefer something more original than TPing the house). The one parameter- nothing too destructive. The guy still lives with his parents.

*sits back and waits for the flood of brilliance and resigns herself to only a trickle thereof*
 
Too lazy to think up a good prank right now, I'll return to the thread if something pops into my mind. I'd recomend against cutting open glowsticks though... I'm not sure if the stuff is toxic or not but I do know that when it finally goes out and starts drying it turns brown and gets extremely sticky and thick, almost to the point of not coming off whatever it got on.

Oooh, good info. Thanks.
 
Take a big garbage can of semi-runny sh!t and tip it over quickly on his front porch. There's no way to get the grabage can off without getting your feet messy.

I don't know. I wouldn't classify that as a good prank, I'd just classify it as gross, unless you filled the can with shaving cream or something of that nature instead of garbage.
 
Back in the early '70s my friends and I decided to pull a prank on a buddy who had just gotten a new car. He had bored everyone half to death talking endlessly about this wonderful car, and we wanted to have a little mean fun with him, as young people tend to do from time to time.

Our prank was quite simple, and required almost no preparation. All we did was wait until we saw our buddy's car parked nearby (we all lived in the same area.) Then we put a note under his windshield that said "HEY MAN, SORRY I SCRATCHED YOUR CAR." The note was signed with the name "Joe Mendax" (mendax means "liar" in Latin, and since our buddy was a medical student we assumed he would get the joke.) On the bottom of the note we put a phone number which was the number of the time-and-temperature site operated by a local bank.

When our pal found the note, he spent half an hour looking all over his car for a scratch that did not exist. We felt sorry for him (and a bit ashamed of ourselves,) so we went out and fessed up so that the poor schmo would not spend all night fretting over nothing.
 
Not much you can do w/o causing some sort of reaction from a parent. If you have keys to the car (since you were planning on moving it, I would assume you do). You can open the hood and disconnect a spark plug wire. It's really easy. The spark plugs are usually in a row (or 2 rows on opposite sides of the engine). There are thick wires that will go down into the engine. Pull one or two out. There will be a rubber boot down by the engine, pull on that, not the wire or you will wreck the wire. Simple, and if you leave the wire near the plug, he might not even notice when he causally inspects his engine to figure out what is wrong.

A variation that I've seen done is to put your own phone number at the bottom (mess up the hyphen so it's not obvious). He will call and then you can fess up and laugh at him right there.
 
I have had a few friend do this one.

Buy a bunch of plastic forks and stick them in his front yard with the prongs in the ground. It you do it just right and keep nice even rows the yard can look like a mini Arlington cemetary.

Not realy a prank but it does look cool.

sorry ,best I can come up with.😱

Eh- you've gotta know the guys. The one wouldn't bother shooting anyone over his car, beat up and on its last legs as it is. Current thought is to maybe buy some water soluable paint (that won't hurt the already peeling paint job) and decorate his car. I like the forks idea - though the high school youth group from our church is raising money by "flocking", contracting out to suddenly have 20 or so flamingos show up in someone's yard. Anything we do, short of destructive, will be good for a laugh, and that's all we're going for.

So you can choose whether to send the message "fork you" or "flock you." 😛

The best prank I've ever heard of was one my Dad told me about that happened when he was in college. This doesn't really apply to you, but I'll tell it anyway 😀

It was very simple, but it caused a lot fo grief for a lot of people, which is why a prank is funny. A passenger train stopped at the local train station for a particularly long stopover. During that time, a few engineering students managed to get together a welder and welded the wheels to the tracks. Needless to say, the train didn't move very well after that. 😉 My Dad said they were never found out by the police, but everyone on campus knew who did it.

That makes me think, since you said your friend's car is all beat up and on its last legs, maybe you could weld the doors shut... He'd have to get in Dukes of Hazzard style from now on...... hehehe 😀

Haha, reminds me of another thread about beating up people who break into cars😀

You could fill his car w/ foam packing peanuts. Or take a Dry-Erase marker and write "The Ambiguously Gay Duo" on the side along with other vaguely homosexual comments, and draw their car 'logo' on the front if you get my drift😀 Haha, we did that to one of my friends, he was flipping out until he realized that it just wipes off.
 
You could put some sort of goo (water soluble, of course 😉) under all his door handles. Check a local party supply store...the one I'd go to in my town is called Nobbies, not sure if that's a national chain or not.
 
taking the forks idea one step further: if you stick plastic forks (knives, spoons) in the ground and then break off the end so that it's even with the ground, they can be close to impossible to pull out.

One thing that I did to a friend's car once is Vaseline all over the windows. It's really hard to get that stuff off. They responded by duct-taping my doors shut and smearing Crisco all over my car. Finally (this didn't really pan out the way I had hoped) I bought some fish at the store, and taped them to his car up underneath the bumper where he couldn't see them. (I also tied a few to the mirrors etc. for the prank appeal.) I hoped that the smell would eventually drive him (and anyone close by) completely nuts 😀 But duct tape doesn't stick to fish very well, so it didn't work 🙁
