Somehing to do with a paintball gun and cars driving past my house. My window was open maybe 2 inches enough for the barrel and we'd shoot 1 shot at each car that drove by. *Thud* giggles *Thud* The UPS truck I shot 5 times rapid fire style which at the time I thought was awesome. All the fun ended when a lady stopped and was looking around. We closed the window and hid in the basement untill she left.
My friends and I also stole political signs out of peoples yards and kept them in the back of my friends truck (It had a cap on the back). People would be in their garage and one of my friends would jump out of the truck and yank the sign out of their front lawn and we'd drive off. That lasted 2 days untill we got caught.
We also made these "love grenades" which had all sorts of food and crap that had been sealed in ziplock bags all year in one of my friends lockers. We'd go through the school parking lot applying the love gernades to the door handles and windshields of cars.
Thats what I remember so far. We did so much stupid stuff 🙁

We used to knock on people's doors and run into the bushes to watch them. We'd do this 2 or 3 times.
We also prank called random people in the phone book and start singing the "dredle song" to them.
In middle school, 8th grade, we would walk in the halls and slap people in the face as we walked past them. That was really hilarious. The look on some of their faces.

We threw water balloons at cars almost every weekend for a few summers. Once we broke someone's windshield.
One night when we were doing it, someone must have called the police on us. Because this one policeman (or two) kept driving around the block. Then we ran to the middle of the block we were on, and stayed there. The policemen drove down the alley a few times and scared us, but they never got out of the car. Eventually, there were up to four cruisers driving around the block, and then another one was coming down the hill. We ran across the street when we thought the time was right and ran into my friend's house. From his window, we watched the police get out of their cars looking around with flashlights and using their searchlights on their cars. Quite the adreniline rush for kids :laugh: It was fun though
I also switched lawn furniture with other people :laugh: And sometimes put it in the middle of the street.

We ordered pizza and had it deliver to the neighbors house across the street. This was before they verified information.
We also tied fishing line on my friends davey crockett raccoon hat and put it across the street. When cars drove by we pulled it across. The drivers would slam on their brakes thinking it was a real animal.

A friend of mine's dad was a doctor. He lived right in the middle of town. We took this old CPR dummy he had and dressed it in these tattered clothes and put it on the side of the road with a old bike and a bunch of empty liquor bottles. It looked like some old drunk had been hit by a car. 😀 20-30 people must have stopped to help . The look on there faces when they realized it was a dummy was priceless. Yeah, pretty dumb but we were 7th graders.
Kept us entertained for hours.

Once upon a time, my friends and I were walking in the night, drunked and dressed all in black, and we threw everything from a patio into the owner's pool... And I mean everything: plants, BBQ, chairs, long chairs, table...
The funny thing about this is that we were considered "nerds" at highschool. Like my friend told me once "The nerds have all the fun!"

took some Realtor signs and put them on teachers yards.
best and meanest thing we did was sit on the roof and shoot drunks coming out of the bar with BB guns.
oh yeah. forgetting the homemade explosives, destroyed a few garbage cans and mail boxes. heh

He must live in Soviet Russia?
I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

Good stuff
One prank I did. My chem teacher had a cardboard homer simpson cut out. We stole it and left him a ransom note. He didn't comply so we put on ski masks, put duct tape on homer's eyes and video taped us dousing him in gasoline and lighting him on fire.

Lets see (looking for things not already posted)....
The best stuff always involves pranks you pulled on your fellow pranksters, nothing like convincing a friend to go steal a garden flag and not tell him it is the deputy-sherrif's house. We would hide and the motion lights would go off and the dog would start barking as friend ran off in the dark.
Another good was one to "spice up" some popcorn with the worst hot-sauces you could find. It's amazing at how few people pay attention to what they eat sometimes, they learned the hard way.
One time during a bottle rocket wars a friend caught a scarecrow on fire (i don't know why someone had a scarecrow for a 10'x10' garden) and when the cops showed up one of the rockets hit the cruiser. We all ran like hell once that happened.
We also liked to steal the flags from a local golf course and use them as javelines from the roof of the elementary school. From that height they'd stick in the soft ground a good bit.
The last one is not a true prank per se, but while paintballing back in the woods we would convince a guy on our team who we did not like that he could safely travel along the bottom of a ravine (ie. death trap) to secure our ambush position. He would get hit about 30 times and we would play it off. Took 3 times for him not to take point with us again. So then we would just lose him in the woods and then "mistake" him for the enemy.
EDIT: Oh yeah, at Busch Gardens we would gather plastic grapes and throw them at people either just walking around, from the skylift, or even while on roller coasters.

sinceriously?
i did that with a friend in 8th grade. apparently, we called a teacher at our school, and she had caller ID. and, we got in BIIIIIG trouble. after that, teachers would be like, "so, first you prank call mrs. x, then you talk during my class?" and i was like, why do all the teachers in the school know about this?!?!?!?
uhm,
usual toilet paper, vaseline on car (wind sheild wipers, and handle bars), super glue pennies to valve stem on tires after the air has been let out, switch around lawn furniture, random paint ball drive bys, pissing on peoples door steps, taking dump (friend did this) on a persons door step, threw magic markers out of the school bus window on oncoming traffic, forked lawns, shot bottle rockets at people and cars, egged houses, smashed pumpkins, destroyed mailboxes w. bats.
other non-common things we did
paint peoples garage doors pink, layed a bunch of logs on one side of the street and watched what cars did to avoid them, shot out bb guns from friends roof at random people and cars at the strip mall on the other side of his house...
we also did some more elaborate pranks but they are too complicated to explain in text...
we were hooligans...

Let me guess. She was your English teacher right? :roll:
We had fun with BB guns. We shot at the Sanford&Son - garbage pickers. Also shot out a HUGE window at one of the local hotels.
Surprised nobody mentioned pumpkin smashing. That was always a favorite. I now encourage the local kids to come back and smash mine after trick-or-treat. Keeping the tradition alive!

If you reread the thread, you'll see that eits posted an actual prank and Kyteland said he must be a "quality individual" for pulling it, basically saying that he's not a good person for pulling the prank. Since this thread is about what we did as a kid, of course it's going to have things we arent necessarily proud of (and some things that we are :evil😉. eits made that post as a sarcastic post for Kyteland, who eits believes has a stick up his rectum.
Thats what I believe is going on.
