So glad to be done with this “highschool” thing…
And when I get to Heaven,
to Saint Peter I will tell,
“One more senior reporting, sir.
I’ve served my time in hell.”
Midnight on Monday, May 14th, in the 2007th year of our Lord found me running down a street near my house to get to a gas station. My friend was at that gas station, ready in his car with some energy drinks and a couple of accomplices. From there, we were going to hit a 24-hour Wal-Mart to pick up supplies for a very unique school project.
Thus began [My school]‘s 2007 Senior Prank.
We covered the main floor of the school, halls and classrooms alike, with foam cups full of water. The thinking there was that they couldn’t just throw the cups away; they’d have to empty them first. We put red food coloring in the backs of the toilets so the water would look like blood after flushing. We also filled a room with tables, and rigged a table to fall into place in front of the door when we closed it — that way, it would be very, very difficult to get into the room to take the tables out.
The highlight of the prank, though, was the parking lot. We put a table in every parking space, put four chairs around each, and wrapped them all together with plastic wrap. Then the leftover chairs were lined up and tightly wrapped together as a barricade to the entrance of the parking lot. A few other touches were added, such as plastic wrapping trees, putting fishing wire across another entrance, and making a circle of chairs in the middle of the road (also plastic wrapped, of course).
To top everything off, we put all the racks and carts needed to transport the chairs and tables into a covered shuttle stop and wrapped the whole structure very thoroughly in plastic wrap.
6,000 feet of plastic wrap, almost 5,000 foam cups, 3 packs of food coloring, and a trip to Waffle House later, at almost 5:30 in the morning, we all went home.
The school administrator was slightly upset that morning.

that is beyond amazing!
isnt it scary? i have wanted to be a senior my entire life. now im going to be one next year and i would do almost anything to stay a jr forever. it seems to scary to have to really go out into the real world and my senior year is going to be super hard and oh i could keep going. i have no clue what im doing with my future.
so anyway, sorry, are you scared at all?
Did you ask yourself WWJD before you did this?
I’m suggesting that what you did was not very nice. Someone has to clean up that mess you all made. It’s none of my business, though. I probably shouldn’t have commented. I just wanted to check out your site since you’re one of the posters on the Worship Cafe and I was curious. Hope I didn’t offend you. God bless. Donna
ah i c, well thats great.
that is amazing.
Either you have a small school or a TON of ambition; either way, you’re my hero for a day.
RYC-
ha, thanks. I’ll work on the facial expression.
I’m not in your timezone; you have an extra hour over here. w00t. a whole extra hour of being a hero.
[because I forgot

A kitty named Squishy? Was he. . . squishy? I’m sorry your mom gave him away. That’s really sad. I got Crash and Burn because of a mom giving pets away. . . but the kids had given their full consent, so I didn’t feel guilty.
I do get the idea behind SR prank…..but did you stop ask God if that was ok? Some one will have to clean it up…..are you willing to set a standard of WWJD….keeping the standard gets harder not easier….You have to set your standard course now before college. i’m giving you a loving Challenge…you Carry a big Title Xristas Anesti do you carry it On your heart or In it?
Love Your Sister in Him,

i had a really mundane, yet insightful experience this morning… i opened my eyes
… no, literally, i opened my eyes…
when there is little light around, our bodies produce a chemical which coats our eyes and makes them far more sensetive to light, which has the effect of giving us night vision… and that chemical gets produced all night while we sleep… when i woke up this morning, i tried to open my eyes, and it hurt… that light-sensetive chemical burned my retina like hot coals in the palm of your hand… i had work this morning, so i forced myself to keep them open and adapt… it took a minute, but they stopped stinging and i could see clearly…
i have a willingness to keep my eyes open long enough to adapt to the light… as do you… unfortunetly, not everyone shares that willingness, they’d rather just stay asleep… our “technical” virginity is something to be proud of as far as i see it, but not everyone agrees… thank God for the posibility of having a willingness to endure light…
without that willingness, i’d be like everyone else, and not care how my actions affect me…
“everyone” being a relative term
that is amazing… i’ve been thinking about what my friends and i will be doing next year and have been given a few suggestions… should be exciting!
WWJBD? Just kidding…so many people were saying WWJD that I just couldn’t help it. I saw pictures of the prank & I thought “that’s not terribly exciting,” but then, I couldn’t tell from the pictures that all the cups were filled with water and I don’t recall seeing very many things plastic-wrapped. So, now that I know the extent of the non-destruction – ingenious! Bravo. I’m pretty sure God has a sense of humor, so don’t worry about WWJD. If God wanted us to not have fun, we wouldn’t like having fun so much (and it has no side affects, like hangovers
). Nobody got hurt. That’s quite an amazing prank, I must say.
so amazed at your prank. impossible to happen in HK. yea, I wonder how you can type in Chinese.It doesn’t matter if leaving msg in English.I don’t expect you to speak in Chinese of course
ryc- your video for thetheologianscafe : )
I happen to have a video under the same section hehe
RYC: yeah, it was a split decision — me or that debra granik lady, but in the end i pulled ahead.
did you use photoshop? and were you impressed by my mspaint skills?
Hilarious.
SO — WHAT HAPPENED? Talk about now following up. Were you there? What did people say? Where did everyone park, then? Did anyone think it was some plague, with the toilets? Funny story, but FINISH IT!
that. is amazing.
<3
loved it. =)
RYRYC: heh. i didn’t know GIMP was available on non-linux systems. thanks!
my brother’s senior prank involved toilet-papering the police station a block from the high school.
