The War that Wages When We Should Be Studying!

Yet another thing Heather and I have in common is our love for pranks! Lucky for us, two of our neighbors, Sarah and Brianne, decided to enter into a prank war with us. It started when Heather and I stole their lightbulbs and they responded by rearranging stuff in our room, hiding things in our room and in the kitchen. From there, things started to get a bit out of control. Here was our next prank:

After stealing Bri's keys, we spent an hour hurriedly foiling their room. I got 1000 square feet of aluminum foil from Costco and we used almost all of it!

The next picture is of Bri as she vowed to get revenge. After taking down all of the foil, we created a massive foil ball, which we eventually turned into an aluminum foil elephant.

After a few weeks, they still hadn't pranked us back, so we attacked with a little reminder of our war. During those weeks, we went around campus at night, collecting massive numbers of newspapers. We had been hiding them in locked suitcases, our closets, under out beds, and anywhere else we could stuff them. Finally, the day came. We set Bri and Sarah up on a date and while they were gone, we enlisted some help. Several guys rigged up a contraption made of a broom handle and vacuum cord to unlock their door and numerous other people from our building helped us with the prank.

It took less than two hours with all of the help. When Sarah and Bri came home, Heather and I hid in the massive pile that filled the room. Hopefully the video of their reaction will be coming soon!! After helping Sarah and Bri clean up, we had over 30 large trash bags full of newspaper!

We were definitely winning the war!

One day, about a week later, while Heather and I were at work, they got their revenge. They covered our walls, window, lights, and floor with black trashbags, rigged flour and rice crispies to fall on us, and set dixie cups filled with beef stew and water (random, I know!) all over the floor. AND, they stapled the cups together. Because of the lack of light in the room, I stepped right in the cups, getting the nasty concoction on my shoes. :) Also, they left a layer of crumpled newspapers on the ground and stole all of our clothes! Here are the pictures:

Due to end-of-the-year craziness, including finals, we still haven't pranked them back. BUT, they will be living in the Elms next year as well, so the war is not over... :)
