Pathfindersonline

So I was just thinking (this can be dangerous) about some of the practical jokes that have been pulled over the years, and was wondering if anybody else has had some of these experiences in pathfindering. So... lets hear them! I want to know what everybody else's experiences are!

Well... I'm sure you remember the same ones I do... but for the benefit of everyone else...

There was a girl in our club that was very... shall we say... blond. Well... one Sabbath afternoon we were on a hike up in the Smoky Mountains. We sat down to take a break and wilderness fun threw a little stick at her. It hit her in the head and she thought that a bug had flown in her hair. Well... we all started running with it and in about 3 minutes, she thought she had a deadly bug in her hair and if she moved it would bite her. Well... eventually wilderness, being the gentleman that he is, offered to remove the bug for her. He flicked her hair again with a stick... and she screamed, and it echoed off the mountains all around us, quite loud acutally. Well... we all busted up laughing and she figured the joke out and joined in our laughing.

One of the most memorable of Pathfinder practical jokes that I was apart of was on a UCC Pathfinder Teen Mission Adventure. It was my first one and was at my conferences summer camp (Camp Mivoden). The girls had gotten permission to go with a staff member into the guys cabins to do a practical joke. They toilet papered, shaving creamed, perfumed...etc our area. It was a bit overboard really.

Well the guys thought of a great way to get them back. We made and edited a video of us lurking around and such. We used 2-way radios and a get away car and everything in the video. It was really awesome. This video made it look like we had really gotten them back good.

In reality one of the leaders had bought candy and nice stuff and laid it on the girls pillows. We showed everyone the video and the girls expected the worst, but when they ran back to their cabins they found something nice.

Aw, how nice of you! I wish that I was that nice... well, another one that I was involved in was with the same girl that rider talked about. We successfully convinced her that somebody fell out of a tree and had died... we even pretended to do CPR ! we actually had her crying before we told her! and after that we were all pretty sore from the slugs that we got (rightfully so...). what can i say, she defines gullible!

I've played quite a few practical jokes, but I thought I'd tell you about one of our most recent ones. We were at our church for a meeting and us kids were bored. We finally decided to play a practical joke on two of the blonds.......who were not very nice to us. We painted my sister's hand to make it look like she was bleeding and we painted one of my sister's friends' nose to make it look like blood was pouring out of his nose. They sent me down to get the two young lady's outside. I waited for the que and when I brought them outside it looked like my sister and her friend were fighting. My sister's friend faked that he smacked her in the hand, she faked that she was crying which she's pretty good at and held her hand up that she had painted to look like blood. Then she faked that she punched her friend in the nose. He fell to the ground and said to go get his mother because his nose was bleeding. The paint was still wet so it looked pretty real. The two young ladys freaked out and ran inside to get his mother. Meanwhile my sister went into the lady's restroom and acted like she was really hurt and her friend went into the pastor's office and acted like he was really mad at my sister. His mother came up and she went into the lady's restroom to find me and my sister going into peels of laughter. We told her what was going on and she decided to help play along. She came out of the restroom pretending to be upset with my sister and telling her to apologize. We went into the office and my sister said she wouldn't apologize until her friend did. So he apologized and then my sister did. And then we all broke out into laughter. The two girls were shocked that we were laughing, and so we told them about how the whole thing was just an act. Wow, the response we received wasn't very nice! They wouldn't talk to us for a long while, but they have left us alone after that.

I haven't decided on doing this one yet, but I want to take those plastic fasteners, used for holding cables together or whatever, and wrapping them through peoples tent zippers. Put it through both of them, and no matter what, they won't be able to get out! Until they fit a knife through and cut it, or get some help from outside. It sounds like a good one to try, at least I don't think it should harm anyone !!

Well.... lets see...

I've gotten the whole class to leave the room and hide in a different part of the school. I've stolen desk chairs and computer parts, I've rearranged furniture in classrooms and many more fun things....

High school was great!!!
