jello balloons from the rooftops

02/28/2008 21:48:58 / full of life

I was horribly spunky as a kid, and there's still a lot of that still in me.  Remember doing stunts like soaping windows or TP'ing?  Well, being an artist at heart I was always looking for a unique way to interpret things.

 Soaping windows could never be that simple - who wanted to just put plain soap on a window, it's been done before!  I had to add eggs and cornflakes to the dishsoap concoction.  Why?  I'm so glad you asked!!  When the "installation" was found out and the poor victim tried to wash it all off (usually w/ a garden hose), the protein in the eggs acted as a glue for the cereal and the dishsoap created a lot of extra foam, making it nearly impossible to remove.

And then there's the dreaded jello balloon.  Why bother throwing plain water from the roof when you can have color too?  Throw them fresh for a nice splash, half set for a terrific *squish!*, or fully set for people you really don't like - not that I'm advocating such things!...ahh... happy times!

 Anybody else have favorites? Pass the fun around!

Those are creative versions. We did lots of pranks too...mostly more on the crueler side....hey, we were just bored kids! We did the traditional egging and soaping. One twist on the egging was a few of us would lay down flat in the back of a friend's pickup and as we drove down the street we would flip them out of the truck on to other cars. They never saw where they were coming from! We made dummies and laid them in the middle of the road at night so people would come to a screeching halt. We took metal garbage can lids and bent them to a 45 degree angle and laid them in the street at night - when cars ran over them they flew in the air and hit the car hoods or roof. I'd list a few others but I think the town police still has a warrant out for our arrest from 25 years ago...
