Was reading about some PA senior's "prank" in the news:
Solehi to seniors: You snooze, you lose
Seems the boys took a ladder and scaled a wall into a locked courtyard, set up tents and sleeping bags and spent the night. Now the school wants to prosecute.
Sheesh. Nothing was harmed, no windows were broken, no walls were spray-painted. The boys were there in the morning when the school opened and they admitted they knew what they were doing was wrong but only wanted it to be a harmless prank. Back when I was in school, that would have netted us a few swats with the "board of education", not a lawsuit from the school board.
This reminds me of my big sister's senior year. For years* the kids had an annual water balloon fight, two of the classes against the other two. (such as Seniors/Freshmen against Sophomores/Juniors)
*And it all came to an end when I first got into high school, with a car rollover, a couple of bad injuries with a teacher being involved, throwing water balloons along with the kids.
My sis, her b/f and some others got on top of the gym and were throwing balloons off the roof (or were up there making out, not for sure...am sure she'll elaborate) or perhaps they were just hiding from "the enemy". Somehow they were found out and were summoned to the principal's office first thing the next morning (the principal was an insufferable a-hole, even more than most principals) where he informed them that, if the roof leaked, they weren't going to get to graduate AND they'd be forced to pay for repairs.
Later that day a tornado hit the school and tore off a good bit of the gym's roof.
Now, when I was a senior, we did our own prank. Just outside of town there is a small hill that has gone by the name "Ti**y Peak"....for obvious reasons.
Poor ol' hill...back when I was a kid, it was a good-sized "C" cup, but thanks to erosion, it's probably something like a "B" cup now.
Anyway...We bought some red paint, found a large rock and painted it and put it on top as the "nipple". We were so proud of our work, we bought a 4'x8' piece of plywood and a couple of fence posts and made a sign calling attention to it, "Ti**y Peak: Compliments of Seniors".
It didn't last long; no, a tornado didn't get it, but some of the guys from the previous year's class that were still in town chopped it down. Bastards, all they did for their "prank" was put a toilet on top of it.

Even though I don't have a "real" website, I went ahead and submitted this blog's URL as a test and got these results. What's really cool is they'll zip all the screenshots up into a zip file for you!
