Pranks

Recently, the prank wars hit an all-time high. Since they have become such a big part of my life, I thought I'd share some (only those that have already been revealed, of course).

It started with basic key stealing, but quickly escalated.
About a week ago, Sheri, Bethany, Christine, and I stole Eric's Air Jordan shoelaces and then each picked an item out of his closet to wear to plenary. We decided to color Christine's junky shoelaces and then put them in his shoes, so that he would think we colored his. We cut letters out of museum guides and made a ransom note for the laces and put it in one of my out-of-state envelopes (from a birthday card).





He got pretty upset about the shoes because he didn't realize that we hadn't destroyed his real ones..so we decided to to partially abandon prank B. Instead of wearing his clothes on Monday, we just took a few pictures. :)






It ended well when he got back the clothes in a box with a sorry note and the real laces... "well" meaning less anger..more pranks.
Part of his retaliation was to take advantage of his 6'2"-ness and tie Christine's shoe to her ceiling so that she couldn't reach it (I think he also filled it with some kind of odor-inducing powder). Shulan had to come to the rescue on this one.

<---------------------

As a defensive strategy, Sheri and I switched our keys and key numbers (each key has a tag with the room number on it), so she has what looks like my key, and I have what looks like hers. We switch every time we come near a suspect, and switch back whenever we need to get into our rooms. It gets complicated, but has worked so far.

Unfortuantely the list of stolen and/or tampered with items is pretty lengthy: Christine's flip-flop, Shulan's flip-flop, Carolyn's teddy bear, Amy's peanut butter, Bethany's teddy bear, Carolyn's book, Christine's Cadberry spread, Carolyn's shoelaces, my laptop, Cecily's cell phone, Amy's cell phone, Eric's cell phone, Cecily's pen, at least 5 keys, and Bethany's apple pie.

Eric still has most of these items, much to the dismay of their owners. Here is a ransom picture he recently posted on facebook:
Some of the best pranks are currently underway, and I don't feel at liberty to discuss them at this point, but I will keep you updated. ;-)
