You mean Bill O'Reilly?

Nah someone booked him that night. I ended up with Jimmy Fallon. We just ended up playing monopoly and I was about to take Boardwalk when he conveniently had some show he had to host.

I was in 8th grade getting ready to go to high school when the last senior prank was pulled that I am aware of. A bunch of kids went up into the mountain with trash cans and filled them with carp from the streams. They all got dumped in the school pool. If I remember right it was done on a Friday night and by Monday morning the fish that weren't already dead were not savable. My high school cracked down hard on pranks after that.

Yes, it would be dangerous to the alligators. I'll stop if it's making you uncomfortable :frown: Animal abuse isn't fun, but realistically, I wouldn't mind some alligators attacking a few of the students at my school.
That's why you set them loose in the halls.

Kidding! I would never suggest anything dangerous. :frown:

Are we talking senior, as in high school, or, senior, as in senior citizen?

I'm sure my dad has an idea or two, on how to blow your fingers off, if that's what you're looking for.
:smile: Dang Om. You're killing me. You don't know how much I laughing right now.

4th of July after Senior "high school": Me and my buddy cruising across the Kansas River bridge and got stopped by another buddy tossing M-80s into the river. Suck his hand through the car window with a light one. After me screaming, he pulled his hand back laughing, "it's only a smoke bomb". Half a second later...Bomb. Didn't loose any fingers but it was funnier then hell at the time and I guess still.

Ouch.

I haven't seen an M-80 since I was 5, living in Alaska. My older brothers threw them into the creek. I have vivid memories of their power.

Oregon is a nanny state. We can have sparklers.

But given that I'm a senior citizen now, and have been studying at PF for quite some time, and know the laws of the river, Oregon, and Washington, I'm quite certain that on July 4th, 2014, I will kill myself, in a most extraordinary way, worthy of the 5 o'clock news, and the Darwin Awards.

Dad will be proud.

I would mention the idea that has been floating around in my head for at least 5 years, inspired by the stories of other surviving senior citizens, but I'm sure I'd get an infraction.

Ps. It involves solar panels, a bunch of condoms, electrolysis, HHO gas, and sparklers. :redface:
