Senior Prank

I was wanting to get some information on you all about our senior prank. It turns out that I may potentially be assuming the brunt of the responsibility, as they are already planning on using my truck.

Our plan is to take all the cement bumperblocks (The big things you pull up to in parking lots, that scrape cars bumpers, etc) from our rear (student) parking lot and pile them up in front of the school in the faculty parking lot so that the teachers have trouble that next monday with parking. What I need to know is...if we get caught, are they going to just ticket us, or are they going to tow my truck too? Cause if they're gonna tow it..then screw them, I'll stay home and sleep instead.

Good possibility you'll be charged at minimum with trespassing, unlawful removal of traffic control devices, and whatever else they can come up with if you get a cop that's a real #$^&$. Plus your truck could very well be impounded. I'd stay home and sleep.

haha that sounds like fun. but it depends on your school. there were a lot of ****** at my high school, like all the staff people and cops were real mean and would over react about anything. we had to abandon our senior prank too because some teachers found out and said we'd go to jail and all this other bs. but my friends school across town was real leniant toward their students, like they rolled tp all over their school and all they had to do was clean it up that weekend. so i guess its a judgement call, i probably wouldnt risk my truck being towed or impounded.

I dont think I would mess with moving parking blocks,for one if you break any there is going to be trouble.So,,,,Instead of that,have somebody run up to the local Lowes,or home depot,etc.and get a roll or two of the wide yellow construction tape,make up some cheap sawhorses and then ribbon off their parking area.What I,,,OOPS,I mean,THEY did on our prank day was make up an offical looking school letter that said School has been canceled for today 4/16/04 due to breaks in the sewer line,If you must enter you do so at your own risk,and are required to check in at the office before proceeding any further into building.I then,OOOOOPS,I mean THEY then went and posted them on all the glass entry doors right after the janitor unlocked them.THEY even got a couple of others to (guard) the letter and then when a teacher came and took it down,well,,,,, it amazingly reappeared.If you chose to go this route,one word of advice,make sure (others) do not give away your position after they are caught.You will be amazed at how fast teachers can form a posse.And always plan an escape route that is janitor proof!

I'd come up with a prank that results in no monetary loss. In addition to the things already mentioned, I'd expect they will send you and your partners in crime a bill for relocating/restoring the cement strips. We all know how expensive things are when the government works on them, as well as how slowly you can expect them to work. I could also see the cops charging you with malicious mischief; depending on the $ amount to correct what you did and any other losses the degree of the crime increases and so does the penalty. You're right, stay home and sleep.

Haha. That sounds funny, but doesnt sound like to good of an idea if yall get cought.
Ours was fun. We had a farm in the back of our school for all of us FFA kids to rais our projects on. It also held the 4H kids projects. We had a parking lot "secutiry guard" that we called parking lot bob. Anyway, I "borrowed" the farm's tractor and used the forks to pick up parking lot bob's mail jeep that he used to cruise around the parking lot. I set it up ontop of the wooded bleechers by the baseball diamond. I was kinda suprised that they held the jeep! It was pretty funny the next day because some how sombody had accedently removed the 2 front wheels from the tractor, so they ended up having to call in a forklift from a construction site downt he road a little bit to pick the jeep up and get her back on the ground.
Not a real high profile prank, but it was the best we could come up with at the time. Best part is nobody was hurt and the teachers/prinsipal/parking lot bob all had a good sence of humor about it.

I would advise against it, there is considerable safety issues here not to mention reasons already stated.

That's awesome! lol <---Thumbs up to you King!

Ya, our's wasn't all that cool, but it did make the local paper (hehe). We took a truck full (I think it was 6) of goats and put them on a homemade stringer (where they could still walk around and be seen, but not fall off and get hurt) on the roof of the highschool. Ya... ever seen a 76 yr. old janator (poor 'ol Russ, I liked him too) chase goats on the top of a school?? It was his own fault thought that he had to chase them, if he wouldn't have cut the stringer letting them all go at once, he could have just taken them one by one. Yup... still got that front page framed You can sure tell I'm from Oklahoma though... eh??

I would avoid moving the barriers, it's kinda like pulling the fire alarm... it's funny, BUT.... you could end up in some pretty serious trouble. Are you in the city or country? How close are people? And how often, if at all, do the "fuzz" come around??? lol, I'm sure we can work something up for you if you just give us some details. I mean... we CAN be pretty creative.

I thought ours was pretty cool. . .

There was a local Tejano (Spanish) radio station here that had a HUGE fiberglass green jalapeno on a trailer (about 16' long & 8' high) that they'd take around to ther remote broadcasts. Well, we 'borrowed' it for the prank. Our school was built in the early 50's, and originally didn't have A/C, so it's an 'outdoor' two-story school with breezeways. We lugged this jalapeno up onto the second story, and placed it smack dab in the middle of the main breezeway. It not only caused a shock seeing a big jalapeno in the hall, but it completely blocked access to 1/2 of the second story!! The janitors couldn't figure out how to get the dang thing out without cutting it in two. The principal eventually made an announcement that as long as we get the jalapeno off of the campus by the end of the day, we wouldn't get into any trouble with the district, or the radio station. What the janitors overlooked is that the jalapeno was a two piece design that buckled together from the inside. The stem on the jalapeno would slide out with just enough room for a person to slide in, and lock it together.

The newer pranks that I've heard coming from my old school are terrible!! The senior class decided to cut down all the trees on campus, even a memorial tree dedicated to former students who had passed, while serving in the military! Good prank, I think not!!

My sister's class (00) went and got a old cop car that wasnt being used anymore and disassemblied it and moved into the school gym and re assemblied it. Shop teacher opened the doors for them that weekend because he thought it was a good way to pratice what some of the kids had learned. They had to cut the car in half to get it out of the school that monday.

A month ago a friend got a picture of a teacher at our school, shes refered to as a hall **** cause she is always on the prowl, and isnt lenient at all like all the other teachers but any ways. He got her pic and then got a pic of hitler. He then made alot of copies and typed out the similarities of both of them (this is all on the same sheet, both pics, and typed out similarities) and taped them all over the school. It wasnt somethin big but it was funny.

A few years before I was a Senior, the Senior class dissasembled a VW bug that was in the parking lot (it was donated for the auto class.. when they still had one) and reassembled it inside the school courtyard - which at night was only accessible by roof! The next morning.. the car was sitting in the courtyard!!

I don't recall how they ever got it out..

13MWZ that was a pretty good prank with the mail car!

anyways... id advise against joining in on this prank. imagine a teacher running late to work, flying into the parking lot not knowing these parking blocks are there- just think of the damage it can cause.

at my school the cops were called simply because the seniors duct taped a few kids to pillars, even lifted one kid up to the wall and taped him UP. like 2 feet off the ground.
