    • ahmedb07, on 03/28/2008, -20/+4buried for fox
    • jbenson2, on 03/28/2008, -15/+4The article says the tire slasher is just a "Senior Prank".
      If the goof-ball kook(s) is/are under 18, I hope the school district goes after the parents for financial restitution.
      • surKaz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+19He/She put "Senior 08" up there to throw them off.
      • brutimus, on 03/28/2008, -0/+9They don't say "slash" anywhere. I'd have to assume they deflated them without ruining the tires. If not, then yeah, that's a lot of dollars worth of tires.
        • gh0st3000, on 03/28/2008, -1/+0Since they used the word "repair", I'd have to assume that they must have to something more than reinflate them, that would take a couple hours for all the buses at the most.
      • lordmetroid, on 03/28/2008, -4/+1Restitution??? From whom the taxpayer already payed the buses are they going to restitute themselfs?
        • DangerMouse9, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6wow... you need to take a couple of English classes.

          It's paid not payed and it's themselves not themselfs. Let me correct the gibberish you were trying to say:

          "Restitution?! From whom? The tax payers already paid for the buses. Are they going to give the restitution to themselves?"
      • sovietninja, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3Whats messed up is that the school district can get restitution from the students, yet they have no liability for students getting raped on the same buses.
    • worldsbestgamer, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1But its not a first.
    • Spuy767, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4Were they flattened or slashed? I was thinking that the air was let out but then the article says something about repairing the tires.
      • ploop, on 03/28/2008, -7/+2If you slash a tire, it flattens.
        • Clevinger, on 03/28/2008, -0/+15It also flattens if you let the air out without slashing it. Thus causing no permanent damage while still delaying school by a day.
        • souljaboytellem, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2Your intelligence overwhelms me sir
    • ploop, on 03/28/2008, -0/+9Indeed. That little sociopath has some cojones.
      • GOVATENT, on 03/28/2008, -7/+1Sticks glue in hand and grabs nuts.
        • GOVATENT, on 03/28/2008, -6/+1why digg me down, it was a reference to the Simpsons movie.
    • doomonu, on 03/28/2008, -6/+2Not even an original one. Kids did this at my school back in the mid 90's. It's a shame this makes the front page.
    • CabesMojo, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Haha, if he just removed the valve stems thats hilarious. Slashing the tires is a bit much for a "prank". Hell we used that liquid metal lock tight to fill in every door into the school as one of our pranks. They didn't think it was so funny though when they had to drill out all the locks because ever door was sealed shut, looking back it was going a bit far.
    • thrikulam, on 03/28/2008, -2/+2Take that Bueller!
    • woody24, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6thats nothing. 83 school bus tires slashed in Taylor MI today. http://www.examiner.com/a-1307192~Taylor_schools_c ...
      • coleki, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5actually, it was 75 out of the 83 buses, but still impressive
        • woody24, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6yeah, jumped the gun. But what the hell is going on? Did someone check Myspace to see if this is "Conserve Diesel Fuel Day?"
      • StandardsDT, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Eh and kids today think they are creative and original? Please the high school I graduated from 2 years ago had every tire deflated by some seniors last year who decided to damage the valves.

        What happened to these kids? They pretty much got a slap on the wrist. They weren't allowed to walk at Graduation, were not allowed to attend the Ice Cream Social and they weren't allowed to go to their Project Graduation (though when that time came Administration let them go). Welcome to Somerset County, NJ. The richest county and the most spoiled/stubborn/ungrateful brats in the U.S. that you pretty much see on "My Super Sweet 16".

        I'm not saying the high school I went to was the first to do it, I'm just simply stating this isn't news and that they aren't the first to do it.
        • jamminman, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Yeah. Same exact thing happened at my school last year. Nothing new.
    • DrywallThief, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Dedication to desertion.
    • S1ngular1ty1, on 03/28/2008, -6/+2Damn, thats over 9000 tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      • Mysticcal, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1L2Math, 160 Tires

        if it isn't correct, then it isn't funny
  • 0crabby0, on 03/28/2008, -7/+240Management material
    • joshhan, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7Penske material right there.
    • robthom, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4Presidential material.
    • Tonorific, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0He could do all of of those things, be a manager, drive for Penske and run for Pres. Most likely he'll end up like Otto from the Simpsons.

      Who can forget that memorable quote where Otto says, "When I was in school, my teachers told me I'd never amount to anything. Well look at me now, man! Now I DRIVE the bus!
  • Packard, on 03/28/2008, -28/+7Dude, that's a Guinness record! (My favorite off beat story of all time!)
    • MrSprout, on 03/28/2008, -2/+26I read that as "beat off story". Seriously disturbed for a moment there...
      • surKaz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Like you aren't the rest of the time? ...

        Hope you can take a joke.. Too many nuts (oooo .. there I go again) out there..
        • jgzman, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7I can only handle two at a time.

          Any more than that, and the orderly discussion breaks down.
        • forgiste, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7Two nuts at a time?
    • tikiman453, on 03/28/2008, -4/+1buried for using dude at the beginning of that sentence.
  • icemanex, on 03/28/2008, -16/+131See what you can do if your determined enough?
    He's going to be a winner
    • icemanex, on 03/28/2008, -36/+2Stop digging me down for the truth, if he can be determined enough to do all that then he wont give up trying to do things he wants to
      • PoopOnPaul, on 03/28/2008, -3/+20I buried you for complaining about getting buried.
      • daRoach, on 03/28/2008, -1/+10You should have gone too school that day, education along with determination beats sole determination any day.
        • t0x2c, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5You seem to forget this is america.
        • surKaz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3@t0x2c... That's why it is that much more important to learn as much as possible.. even if it isn't much.. Which depends on the school..
    • daxsymbiont, on 03/28/2008, -2/+6a winner behind bars.
      • sonstone, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Not if he switches his focus to white collar issues

    • sdcarter, on 03/28/2008, -8/+1GOT R DID!
    • Myonosken, on 03/28/2008, -2/+5I'm guessing you spent your childhood letting down a whole lot of tyres before English classes....
    • Edwaldo, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4I hated that show
  • nmcvicke, on 03/28/2008, -2/+286And people say kids are getting lazy....
    • limpits, on 03/28/2008, -8/+1they apparently are. they can't even come up with their own pranks, they have to rip off some prank that they saw on MTV (show: High School Stories)...
    • nunyabuizness, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5You know in all that time he spent slashing those tires so he DIDNT have to take the bus to school, he could have finished that essay he was working on
      • BlackPawn, on 03/29/2008, -0/+5But which would you prefer? sneaking out at night on a school bus sabotage mission or staying up writing a high school essay?
  • Xproject01, on 03/28/2008, -11/+355the wheels on the bus go round and rou.....THUD THUD THUD

      -*****
      • endlessoul, on 03/28/2008, -0/+25Well played, *****.

      • VegaObscura3, on 03/28/2008, -2/+8Now I know what I'm naming my first kid.
    • Suzilla, on 03/28/2008, -5/+13Because you were too busy being taught not to think.
    • CedEx, on 03/28/2008, -1/+21Because you rode the short bus.
    • Beakerz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5Some kids did that when i was in middle school but the damn schools were able to air them back up fast enough some how :/
      • TheMidnight, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5All the hot air from the school board's skulls probably did it very quickly.
    • tcpip4lyfe, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5Because you didn't want to go to juve.
    • devilwarriors, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4The bus parking is on my street, why the ***** didn't I think of this before.

      • kingvik, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Senior shirts at my school:
        Seniors .08
        Surpassing all limits
    • sloppjyoe890, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4Sounds kinda win to me.
    • schrankage, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5agree. seniors of '02 ftw.
    • blinktude, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3Senior '08!!!! becomes Senior '09
  • RockStrongo1, on 03/28/2008, -11/+83It's a pretty lame senior stunt if you ask me. What happened to just putting ***** on the school roof, or letting 3,200 white mice loose in the halls.
    • LightSpeed4, on 03/28/2008, -9/+9because getting 3200 mice is very cheap and easy to maintain...
    • UtopiaInTheSky, on 03/28/2008, -1/+13The senior class at my school many, many years ago killed a moose and ripped the body to shreds (except the head) and sprawled the guts all over the hallways. Nope, not kidding. The head was found in the cafeteria.
      • InferiorWang, on 03/28/2008, -0/+14Wow. A couple years before I graduated, some kids rolled a couple of trees behind the high school. They were brought up on charges and not allowed at graduation. If their were entrails all over the halls I think the principal would have burst a blood vessel.
      • thelock65, on 03/28/2008, -1/+31What kind of sick freak would do that?
      • TheMidnight, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5Must be an Italian school.
      • ZeroIce, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1You crazy Canucks!
    • woohhaa, on 03/28/2008, -0/+13I'm thinking that sen 08 was a ploy by the culprit to throw the cops in the wrong direction.

      I knew some kids who stole the short bus, took it down some 4-wheeler trails, trashed it, and ditched it. Yea they got caught, but I bet it was fun as hell.
      • Suzilla, on 03/28/2008, -0/+10Reminds me of the adage: A friend is someone who'll bail you out of jail. A GOOD friend is someone who'll be in the cell with you, saying, "That sure was fun, wasn't it?"
        • CedEx, on 03/28/2008, -0/+20Best friends are ones who bring the shovels and garbage bags when you bring home a body.
    • IncogMosqui, on 03/28/2008, -0/+40ah Ha!
      Its all coming together now. 3200 white mice... flattened bus tires... 12 year old strippers.
      Obviously, I woke up today in bizarro world.
      • joshhan, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5Happy April Fool's Day! Wait ... it's still March.
    • mlvassallo, on 03/28/2008, -0/+12Are you saying the Kremlin is planing for the greatest Senior Prank ever? Is Zach Morris involved?
      • Locke23, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4They're sick of being bullied, this is an underdog story
    • yohnstoppable, on 03/28/2008, -1/+14Why does it have to be white mice? Racist
      • Myonosken, on 03/28/2008, -7/+3Suppose I may as well do the racist joke comment then. Better me than some wingnut.

        Because the black ones were eating fried chicken outside.
        • mlvassallo, on 03/28/2008, -1/+9Could have been better.
        • Tishiablo, on 03/28/2008, -2/+2The black ones wouldn't have gotten off of their asses in the first place?
        • yohnstoppable, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1See black mice, they eat cheese like this.. "squeak, squeak, squeak"
          But WHITE mice, they eat cheese like this... "squeeky, squeeky, squeek. oh no, I spilled some on my dockers! I need to clean this up before the Hootie and the blowfish concert tonight"

      • YellowSnowDemon, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3Just tell the other mice that you couldn't run around the halls with them because you were too busy getting high.
        Senior pranks. My anti-drug.
    • Dokument, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5we built a cinder block reinforced wall across the 1 entrance road... delayed school untill they got equipment to break it up on one side and let traffic filter through the narrow gap
    • DavidGuetta9, on 03/28/2008, -2/+7class of '05 bought three pigs labeled 1, 2 and 4. The school spent 2 weeks looking for pig number 3 which didn't exist
      • kpwells, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7oldest prank evar...think schools woulda figured it out by now

        Our senior pranksters broke into the school, chained and locked the doors from the inside, and let loose 3,000 crickets, then hopped out a window. they had to break a door to get in the next morning and half the crickets were dead already, everywhere
    • ness0013, on 03/28/2008, -0/+11Everyone my year checked out 3-5 books during the second semester. Then on the last day of school we returned them all. There were about 800 books that had to be processed and shelved before summer.

      The librarian was a bitch anyways. Noone had a problem doing it.
    • lukas88, on 03/28/2008, -0/+8I like the prank they had on youtube where the kids kept crossing the street and going through an underground tunnel and re-crossing the street so that there was a perpetual line of kids crossing the street. Oh the mayhem!
      • cleverdiggname, on 03/29/2008, -2/+2Yeah I've seen it before, but i thought it was improve everywhere; not a senior prank
  • farfromsubtl, on 03/28/2008, -1/+363*sigh* This story has nothing to do with someone avoiding school.
    • LoudMusic, on 03/28/2008, -2/+25Welcome to Digg! ;)
    • houndeyex, on 03/28/2008, -2/+103And by "kid" they mean "senior class"
    • SourWorm, on 03/28/2008, -1/+93This story is hardly even a story. It's 4 sentences ... and still has misspellings.
      • lytan, on 03/28/2008, -0/+13Seriously... Buried for just plain lying.
      • Cloud7654, on 03/28/2008, -0/+8This article is a stub. You can help MyFoxPhilly by expanding it.

    • cababika799, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3When creating a Digg account they have a little quiz that ensures you are entirely capable of recognizing a noun...and then substituting your own for dramatic effect.
    • twertyto, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2True but props to joestump for creating a creative enough title to get this front page'd.
  • trendygamer, on 03/28/2008, -3/+19All I did was fake being sick...I'm such a rookie.
    • BTConan, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4The key to that is the clammy hands.
    • fxu1989, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2And it always worked.

      Why go the extra mile ? If they ever find out WHO did it, they'll have to pay.

      Pretending to be sick is consequence-free, and you can do it from your bed!!!!!
  • acocke, on 03/28/2008, -14/+1now that is an awesome senior prank, one of the greatest!!!!
  • invisiblehat, on 03/28/2008, -11/+4I would hire this kid in a second. If he is ever in a job interview and the interview team ask him about what accomplishments of his he is particularly proud of, I sure hope he mentions this.
    • antich, on 03/28/2008, -1/+15I can see it now:

      Interviewer: "What accomplishment are you most proud of?"

      Kid: "I once vandalized all the buses at my school as a senior prank! Billy said I wouldn't do it, but I so did it anyway! It was awesome!"

      Interviewer: "Get out."
      • surKaz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+15Kid: "What car do you drive ?"

        Interviewer:" Why?"

        Kid: "Just askin'."
      • Suzilla, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Those clowns at U-Haul have no sense of humor.
    • jerrycan, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7Don't be surprised if all the power cables in your server room go missing near a deadline!
    • bpoel, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5Did you even read the article?
    • thekauf, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4I hope he mentions it also! Wouldn't hire him, just think it would be hysterical.
  • sgtpppr, on 03/28/2008, -3/+46I wonder if when he/she gets caught, there will be the metal gear solid 'you've been spotted' sound with exclamation points above their heads.
    • PoopOnPaul, on 03/28/2008, -1/+7I bet when they first figured something was wrong, they got the question marks over their heads, then when they saw the problem, they got exclamation points
  • adml_shake, on 03/28/2008, -1/+11Wow, I wonder if the air was just let out or if they were stabbed with something? In my day we would have put the seniors tag on something like this if we were in any of the classes below that. Throw them off.
  • trav12221, on 03/28/2008, -3/+8He deserves the rest of the year off imo. Dont see dedication like that very often
    • ripismoney, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3Haha yep, I doubt this student will have to worry about actually going to school for a very long time. Expulsion for sure, I'd like to know how much it costs to replace 40 sets of school bus tires...
    • jp3550, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1He'll get that and then some if hes caught. :)
  • jazzmann04, on 03/28/2008, -3/+13The greatest senior pranks are the ones that involve school being delayed or cancelled for awhile. My personal favorite is pigs #1, #2 and #4, but my sister's class did this in high school back in 2000, we got the whole day off!
    • LightSpeed4, on 03/28/2008, -5/+3thats the worst prank ever, noone ***** numbers pigs to throw around a school, and everyone already knows about that prank

      noone cancels school because they think a harmless pig is still aroumd, youre the worst liar ever.
      • jazzmann04, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3I never said school was cancelled because of the pig prank, nor did I say it worked. I just said it's funny. My sister's class doing this refers to the tire slashing
        • nallelcm, on 03/28/2008, -1/+6must have taught sentence structure on the day you missed then :(
        • logan074, on 03/28/2008, -2/+1School wasn't canceled but you got the whole day off?
      • logan074, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3noone? Really?
    • PoopOnPaul, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1yeah, that one's always my favorite too
    • slvrbullet87, on 03/28/2008, -0/+10The best way to do that prank is to actualy have a pig 3, so when they send the kids back to school they end up finding pig 3
      • Protoss, on 03/28/2008, -0/+6Yeah, throw everyone off. Store Pig #3 inside a closet then let it loose later in the day between classes...
    • sclew, on 03/28/2008, -2/+0Those are the lamest senior pranks. The greatest ones are original and funny, but still harmless. Neither one you mentioned is original or funny.
    • Brad324, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1I remember writing up a (fake) ad for a ridiculously stupid school play, featuring one of my friends in a solo act, and posting it all over the school. He'd get comments from different teachers and students about it. Good times. Just surprised he didn't kill me.

      Another fun thing we did was print out completely black pictures in the school lab, with tiny white letters that read "waste of ink"
  • Elpea, on 03/28/2008, -1/+83After playing Psychonauts, I too fear dentists!
    • Elpea, on 03/28/2008, -0/+66.. wrong story, oh God.
      • metallikop, on 03/28/2008, -1/+16I'm hoping for a new trend here.
    • cababika799, on 03/28/2008, -0/+9No, it's ok...the title had nothing to do with the story...so technically, your comment doesn't have to have anything to do with the story either.
  • tbone4690, on 03/28/2008, -7/+1this is actually a copy cat of what was done in Moorestown, New Jersey last year as a senior prank. Moorestown is just 10 minutes from this town. I went to moorestown and we had a school delay of this, they knocked out most of the buses at our school. The administration was *****, and almost canceled graduation. What the seniors did that week, was all in the news, food fights which put the school into lockdown. Do a search and you may find some stories, moorestown had a crazy year last year. And it was voted the best city in American to live in a few years ago.
    • jennamarie, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3it actually happened in Lafayette, IN two years ago as well during finals week. It's not that uncommon. Kids slash the tires to avoid having to go to school for the day, since all of the students who ride the busses can't get to school and they can't operate with only half the people there.

      It's all been done before.

    • friday81, on 03/28/2008, -0/+12that would require to know who "he" is....
      • surKaz, on 03/28/2008, -0/+9so you're saying the kid(s) was(were) a "heshe"?
    • rentmitchum, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1He should be given a medal. It'd be the "Did that thing many many kids considered doing when they were in school and knew where all the buses parked" award. They could fit that ***** on a medal.
  • LaSepultura, on 03/28/2008, -2/+15He used Maximum Strength and punched all the tires.

  • aamir2, on 03/28/2008, -2/+7If it worked, he is probably already a legend at his school. Go kid, Ferris Bueller's got nothing on you.

    • dougmc, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4And if he is a legend at his school, _somebody_ will turn him in.

      And I've got no problem with the local Fox stations, in my area, the local Fox's news is about the same as the other networks'.
    • DwightSchruter, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1Myfox =/= Faux news

  • junkwheel, on 03/28/2008, -9/+2This kid is going to be a legend when he goes back.

    "About 40 busses in the school's bus yard had their tired flattened some time overnight."

    And Fox News is awesome.
    • UtopiaInTheSky, on 03/28/2008, -0/+4This is a local Fox station.
    • SybotCB, on 03/28/2008, -5/+1I buried your comment as inaccurate, for the fox news is awesome comment.
  • cyborg, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Wow, talk about determination.

    reminds me sort of something that would happen in Ferris Bueller's day off.
    • cababika799, on 03/28/2008, -0/+3since determination and Ferris Bueller have already been mentioned in two seperate comments....YOU FAIL!!!!!!!
  • mikeroq, on 03/28/2008, -4/+1Well if the buses cant run, they most likely closed school.
    • eosp, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1No, we had to go one time when all of the brake lines were slashed. In Alaska.
  • gametavern, on 03/28/2008, -5/+3Give him a bike pump and tell him to re-pump all the tires back to recommended capacity by hand.... little punk.
  • terryhuang, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3A+ for effort
  • icemanex, on 03/28/2008, -10/+5Omg i just actually read the article, it said nothing about a kid, i assumed it was about a small child, not a senior prank, doesnt say anything about just one kid too
    Does digg evern have moderators check articles before submitting???
    • iRelinquish, on 03/28/2008, -1/+4STFU!
    • friday81, on 03/28/2008, -1/+9the point of Digg is that everything is done by the readers, the admins just sit back and collect the ad money
    • c1nn46, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1you assume that would make a difference. it doesn't. see e.g. slashdot.org
  • omnicore, on 03/28/2008, -0/+12The same thing happened to the buses at my school many moons ago.
    • megapeg, on 03/28/2008, -3/+4Same here. And the kid definitely did not become a "legend" - frankly, I can't remember which one of that clique actually did it.
  • GANGSTAGEEK, on 03/28/2008, -2/+3How weird, the same thing happended to me today, seriously. I got up and saw that someone slashed a few tires and I had no school.
  • Fallout911, on 03/28/2008, -2/+3Future Revolutionary!
  • jeff823, on 03/28/2008, -6/+2Flat tires on 40 buses is pretty impressive... but how about more than 70 buses? Now that's news!!!

  • BigMan13, on 03/28/2008, -2/+7Buried for misleading title. It wasn't done to avoid school and it wasn't done by a kid.
  • fm77oh, on 03/28/2008, -2/+3It would be a lot cooler if the kids didn't get arrested like dumbasses ... http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art ...
  • daxsymbiont, on 03/28/2008, -3/+1140 buses?

    is this a school or an army?
    • SilentRamble42, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2My high school easily had 40 buses, and I know of plenty of school with more students.
    • NightVortez, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1There is a difference?
    • kingvik, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1Probably a district.
  • ArthurArchnix, on 03/28/2008, -0/+22What are the odds that you'd submit the exact same headline as on Fark... or did you submit the article there too?

    • cababika799, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1I just had the theme from inspector gadget run through my mind....sirens and all!
  • chanop, on 03/28/2008, -1/+14They would pull this off yearly at my school. They wouldn't actually slash the tires, they'd just release the air out. It would cause a delay, not a closing. The school usually didn't get to uppity about it. One year they actually sliced a couple tires, stole all kinds of parts out of the engines. The best part of that is they threw all the ***** out their car windows which led the police right to their house. They got charged up for that one.

    My favorite one however was, they brought a cow into the school one night and walked it upstairs. Cows cannot walk back downstairs without getting really hurt....and it wouldnt fit in the elevator. They had to bring a crane in to take it out. The best part is they never caught the culprits.
    • pendrachken, on 03/28/2008, -0/+5damn, and all we did was steal the principals car, strip it and re-assemble it on the roof.... that needed a crane also ;-) ( we used a block and tackle to get it up there )
      • chanop, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2They did that too, but that wasy waaaaaaay before my time. Wish they did it when I was in the shool
        • thelock65, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7We hung the principle's kid by a huge fishing hook through the jaw from the rafters of our auditorium!
          sen '07!
      • ZeNiTH456, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3You forgot to wrap it in saran wrap when you finished. Amateurs!

        My favorite is filling the trophy case with water and putting fish in it.
    • cababika799, on 03/28/2008, -7/+3OH YEAH??? Well at my school, we time traveled and took a couple of the foundation blocks out from underneath the principles building and put springs under it with timers...so on Senior Day 2001, the springs went off and turned over the whole building and everybody laughed and me and my friends were the greatest.
      And my Dad's better than your dad!
    • selmer, on 03/28/2008, -1/+1Chanop must've attended Cletus and Billy Bob's Mechanic School in Cornstalktown, BFE
  • blorguehad, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5i thought of doing that to the snow plows in my area to avoid school. They don't even keep them in a garage just out in the parking lot. but w/e vandalism is not my thang.
  • Etchii, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2Epic pwn!
  • donte, on 03/28/2008, -1/+11You couldn't have at least pretended that you didn't just pull the story and headline word for word off of fark? No problems seeing the same stories but at least come up with your own headline.

    • tehaeolus, on 03/28/2008, -1/+0Hahaha, those were good times when the copy cats swept through. I know the kids that did the second job, in Waterford. They got expelled and went to West Bloomfield. Oh, high school, I do miss you.
      • zabean, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0i think the waterford ones were the only ones to get caught too

    • fissionvsfusion, on 03/28/2008, -0/+1The most I ever did was summon Zeus to create a thunderstorm mid-winter, resulting in serious ice coverage on all streets and the cancellation of school buses for the day.
