That sounds like a game a group of us used to play on IRC called "Crosspost."
A 'bot would pick three or more newsgroups at random, then the participants
would all attempt to come up with an appropriate subject line that could be
legitimately crossposted to all the groups.  The most creative answer would
win that round.  (Made for many arguments :)

The problem was, of course, the judging.  The only way to get an objective
score would be to have all the participants actually come up with their own
posts, and crosspost them.  The one that generated the most followups would
win.

act.  I need some Ideas that are quick and dirty so that we might get them back 
for their childish pranks.

The ideas must be

1. semi-legal(So if we do get nabbed by the campus cops we won't be in too much

2. non-destructive(well not too destructive so if caught we won't have to pay 
too much in restitution)

    I have a good one that doesn't go away for a long time and it is not at
all illegal (except lingering around someone else's campus?).  Go to a 
hardware store and buy some high quality grass fertilizer, preferably
high nitrogen (ammonium nitrate prills are 34% nitrogen).  Find an area of
their campus with a lot of open grass, well watered preferably and clearly
visible from a tall frequented student building.  Fertilize anything you
can imagine in patterns on the grass, words, symbols, whatever you think
would be best.  The grass will grow up very green in that those patterns
and will continue to be legible for maybe a year.  The best part is the
words are not visible immediately and fade in over time.  Also there is
no way to errase the words immediately either.  They can either fertilize
all of the grass or dig up the stuff that is there, either way a job for
grounds keepers that would not happen for a few weeks.  It is best to
to this when the weather to wet or the grass will get burned and die.
Do not over fertilize or the grass will die (more of a prank that a
shenanigan) and someone in the administration is more likely to get very
upset.  Use a garden fertilizer spreader, its best.  It is best to go light
on the fertilizer because you can always go over it again if it is not 
quite right or it is starting to fade.  The possibilities are endless.
Besides rah-rah school sayings, insults and profanity, giant targets visible
only to jets and hopskotch squares on their practice fields are ideas.

Have fun,

My favorite school-type shenanigan happened on the first day of
class in one of my electrical engineering classes.  As is usual,
on the first day, the professor hands out the syllabus and explains
all that is on it.  In this case, the professor had prepared a 
joke syllabus and it had a paragraph describing the course that
went something like this:

In engineering, our major competitors are the Japanese.  A major
Japanese philosophy is "a sound mind through a sound body."  With
this in mind, you are going to take part in a special experimental
class that has been setup in the EE department.  Combined with the
normal class work that is usually associated with this class, we
have arranged with the ROTC department to use the drill field every
Friday afternoon from 3:00pm to 4:00pm for an hour of extensive
exercise.  By mid-quarter, you will be expected to be able to do
100 situps and 50 pushups in under 10 minutes along with at least
10 pullups if you expect to keep a passing grade.  For the second
half of the quarter we will proceed on to such things as cross-
country running and swimming.   etc.... etc... etc...

No one in the class made a sound while he read this.  After he was
fininshed, there was much discussion about this and the professor
said the only choice we had was to drop the course.  After about
5 minutes of this question and answer session, he couldn't take
it any longer and broke down laughing and gave out the correct
syllabus.  I still remember this one as priceless....

Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 06:16:27 GMT

Yet another elevator shenanigan was perpetrated here at Mudd recently.
The gist of it is that normal-honest to goodness campus phones are mounted
in very accessible places in the elevators for use as emergency phones.
They have extensions of their own, however, so it is possible to call the
elevator.

At this point, one's imagination may take over and come up with various
possible pranks. The one I pulled went something like this:

Me: <Dial... Ring, ring, ring.>
Her: <Giggle> Hello. This is the library elevator.
Me: May I speak to Ken?
Her: Umm, this is the elevator phone. I'm the only one in here. Did you mean
	call the desk?
Me: No, he said that he'd wait for my call here if the desk phone was busy.
	Listen, he's working on the third floor, could you go there and ask
	for him?
Her: Umm, sure. <Elevator humming, doors open, faint call for Ken>
	He's not here.
Me: <Stiffling giggles> Well, thank you very much...
Her: ...Let me check the second floor, there's a phone there.
Me: <Rally stiffling giggles, not succeeding> OK.
Her: <Elevator sounds. Door opens. Faint call for Ken> No, not here.
Me: Well, thank you ver much for your time. I'll call back later.

Whoever said that strangers can't be courtious anymore hasn't met this
lady!

The next one, in the works, is to pose as a campus services (maintenence)
person and ask the person to verify that when going from 5 to 4 the elevator
makes strange squeaking noises and occasionally stops. Should be fun.

As always, no harm done, but really fun, hopefully even for those involved on
the other end too. :)

Yo.

I would like to believe this isn't on the FAQ, especially since
I've never *seen* a %$#@ FAQ.  

Has anyone heard a collection of recorded phone pranks from
NY or LA?  I head a few snippets on a 3rd or 4th generation
tape that were fan-fricking-tastic.  Some guy calling a
pizza place and pretending (with a thick Pakistani/Indian
accent) that he had ordered and consumed a pizza, but that
now"my wife, my daughter, they are dying!  Ieeeeeee
am going to keeel you you son of bitch!  They are dying!",
and doing a number of similiar things... like calling a
bar and threatening to come in an shoot the bartender, etc.

According to the guy who played this for me, the prankster
is now in jail as a result...

Needless to say, I would love to get a copy of this (even
just a copy off of *your* copy).  

ON a similiar note:  [note:  setenv SHENANIGANS OFF]  Anyone
have a copy of the "muddahfuckin dear bit my neck" 911 call?
Some friend of mine claims it was one of their relatives  that
took the call.

I would tend to disagree.  There is a difference between playing annoying
someone and leaving them asking "why would anyone do that" that I think eveyone
here is well aware of.

Since I'm here...     When I'm driving on a rural road and pick up a tail-
gater, the best way to get rid of the pests is to subtley sta  weaving
around a little bit in the lane.  Not too much (don't want to cause an
accident) but just enough to make the tailgater absolutely sure that you
are just a little drunk.  You'd be surprised how quickly these menaces to the
road back off when they believe they are near an even bigger menace.

disclaimer: I do not suggest that you try this, particularly when in view of
police officials who might also be convinced by the performance.

Here's YET another great phone prank.  You must be or have the
following:

Living in a college dorm
Have a modem
some patience

Anyway, usually college dorms are situated so that the numbers for the
phones are sequential, or at least in some order.  The point is, you
have to figure them out.  All of them.  Anyway, after doing that (Just
find some one else's number match it with urs, do some work.... Oh well,
a campus phone books helps too if you want...)  As I was saying, when
you have all of your numbers go to ur telecommunications program(Telix,
Procomm, Telemate) and set the time-out time to abt 6 seconds.  Then,
after programming in ALL the numbers in an order so it goes from one
room to the next physically... dial.  The program (telemate for
instance) allows for multiple numbers to be set into a batch, so if it
doesn't reach one it goes onto the next.  The time-out set to 6 seconds
assures at least one ring to each room, and then goes on to it's
neighbor.  Do this at 3:00 in the morning.  Have fun....

(BTW: (i.e. disclaimer) I didn't do this, one of my friends showed me
how to.... AND do it if ya' want but I'm not responsible....)


Then:  for answering machines:

Random call and find a machine.  Annouce ur from the local radio-station
and leave a message to the effect of: "Hi!  I'm from <insert
radio-station name, etc.> and if you would have been home you would have
won our grand prize <insert big time prize here , new car, 1,000 bucks,
etc...>  Imagine the shock, then imagine if you could get someone to do
it for your friend(someone youir friend hasn't met)...!

Oh well.  See disclaimer above.

It seems he was always preaching to everybody and getting upset about extremely
minor things (which would often cause a huge increase in them occurring to
him). People were getting real sick of him.  I felt sorry for him, because he
was handicapped and just was not being accepted.  (sorry that he was not
being accepted, not that he was handicapped).  Anyways, he kept coming over to
my room and wanting to talk about god.  I was nice at first, but I soon grew
tired of his "visits", so I had my girlfriend call the jehova witnesses (sorry
'bout spelling) and plead with them to come talk to her "boyfriend" saying
how he was "misguided" and "confused" and made sure to ask them not to say she
had called, and then  gave them his name and room # (whew what a long

Later that year he mentioned to me that someone had come to his door and
they had bible studied with him for 3 WEEKS before he finally realized
they were jehova's witnesses.  Hee, hee, hee, serves them both right!!!
