jokesters

for some reason, college came in to my mind today. probably because i am a college grad and do not have a job or any jobs on the horizon and it is super sweet (and emoticon giving you a very, very sarcastic look.) anyhow, there was some crazy shiz that happened in my freshman dorm at utah state and i am going to share it with you here today. (an emoticon who looks at you jealously for getting to hear all these stories.)
anyhooter. when i was a freshman, i lived in a co-ed dorm. it was a blast. i loved it. for some reason, our apartment of 6 girls got into a prank war with an apartment of 6 boys and mayhem ensued. it was war! and sadly we got completely schooled. i don't remember much of what we did to them but it was harmless stuff like taking their mattresses and such. their pranks were downright ruthless. here they are.
1. they took ALL the labels of ALL the cans of food in our pantry. it was awful. if you wanted a can of soup, you ran the risk of opening a myriad of other things before you found the soup. it was so lame. so so lame but hilarious and brilliant.

2. they took flowers off the graves of the cemetery across the street and left them on our pillows. this creeped me out! not sure why. also, how tacky to take flowers from the graveyard. sheesh.

3. they put crickets in the beds of one of my roommates. also, the tore off their back legs so they couldn't hop away. and they gave them bits of food. so they were definitely there when she crawled into bed. yuck.

4. this was the WORST! we had a regular shower with a bathtub and then we had one of those little cube showers with a glass door and just enough room to stand up in. well, we came home from church and they had filled the entire tiny shower with leaves. so if you opened the glass door, they would all spill out. it was awful. and this was not the wort part. in the middle of the leaves, they had put a DEER HEAD. and not a taxidermied deer head, oh no, one fresh from the deer hunt. so so so so disgusting. ick. i still cringe.

5. a few weeks later, when we were watching a scary movie for halloween, they lowered the deer head from the apartment above right in front of the window and made it knock up against it. it was the freakiest sight of my life. eeek.

needless to say the boys won this little prank war and a truce was made so we could rest in peace. man alive, they were brilliant. still much hilarity abounded throughout the year which is probably the reason i pulled straight C's that year. awesome! go college! go aggies! love, megan

that stuff they did is UNREAL! the removing of labels and flowers on pillows I can dig. but crickets and deer heads? SICK!

Being the roomate that "slept" with the crickets, it was a war to never be forgotten. Learned a few tricks as well...What a fun year!

Jackson said...

ah, the memories. will you post about stabbing your roomate in the eye with a pen next, please? i never tire of that story. or maybe you could do a series on experiences peeing in abnormal places and/or abnormal containers. please? i love you. maybe you could make a new blog dedicated to telling your life stories.

Since I have an intense fear of crickets (thanks to DC sprickets) I am pretty sure I would run out of the room and never return! Ick!!!

Oh, geez, that is downright frightening. Creative, but somewhat demented.

Sydney said...

I was in a "Prank war" but it was nothing like this. Those guys were goooood! and some of that (the crickets) is pretty gross.

Kate said...

A DEER HEAD?! Holy crap! I kind of love those guys, whoever they are.

Lori said...

We got in a war once with some guys and they hid a dead rotting fish in our apt. soooo stinky. BUT the deer head definitely wins! I was just up in Logan a few weeks ago - I LOVE that place. College is the time in my life I would life over and over and over! It was the best.
How ya doing in WA? Hangin in there? Hope you're doing well. Loves

So, super embarrassed that I have not checked your blog in many months. No worries, it's not your fault, I don't look at my own either. But, I love you. I miss you. I can't wait 'til you move to Utah.

I'm thanking the blog surfing gods today. This made me laugh (it's funnier now than it was then...).
