In reply to: your greatest campus prank? posted by FightOnForMorrissey
I lived in Stanford. First week Freshman year several of us grabbed the hall president (a fairly obnoxious senior)out and threw him into St. Joseph's Lake. Turns out he couldn't swim (he was in ROTC so he got to skip the swimming test) and one of our group had to jump in to save him.
Bob Burger (starting OG) lived in Stanford as well. One night a small group (3 or 4) of us pennied him into his room. When he figured out what was going on he started pounding on the door to knock the pennies out. We all ran like hell. Got around the corner just before he opened the door.
Somehow some guys in Morrissey got up on the scaffolding surrounding the dome and took pictures with their arms around the shoulder of Our Lady. Just a group of buddies hanging out with the mother of our lord.
Not really a prank; but that's an impressive keepsake.
I scaled the statue and placed an empty Budweiser can on Moses' raised finger. Bud was the king of beers on campus for almost a week before they noticed and took it down.
One of my crazy friends actually gave Moses a pedicure, complete with red toenail polish. The stuff wouldn't come off; the paint was visible on Moses' toenails for YEARS -- and for all I know, it still is.
pumpkin in the late 80's.
I thought the pumpkin on the finger lacked something compared to the Santa hats. However, I give the person kudos for climbing up to Moses' outstretched finger.
