Roadside Treasure

Thoughts of tossing this closed box from my car window one of these days.  As a young boy who explored a lot, I'm sure I would have appreciated such a gag.  Fill the head with Spam and toss it out on a hot day in August and we're talking real fun.

Halloween Nation

Included within the book are tons of wonderful commentaries by an enormous amount of Halloween buffs. One in particular:

"...In the city, there was a lady - she had her kitchen upstairs - and we'd knock on the door, trick-or-treating, and she'd throw pennies and nickels down. We'd run and grab them. But she was up there putting them on the stove. She was a nasty, nasty lady. We got an empty milk bottle and passed it around and all the boys donated a bit [of pee] and we left it at her door. Next morning the bottle was gone. We like to imagine that some time that day she opened the door and the bottle tipped in."

Pranks

I'm not normally a big fan of America's Funniest Home Videos, mostly due to the unnecessary narrations over the actual videos, but here are two great compilations of scares, void of any narrations.

Tricks

Slightly disturbing prank with a fake trick or treater.
I'd be freaked out a home invasion was about to occur.

Bugged Out

A very cruel [funny] prank with a fake tarantula.
My mind goes to Chris Davis and her fondness for spiders, and what would happen if...

The Pumpkin And The Disco Ball

I had heard about the pumpkin prank but was never aware of the disco ball.

Excerpt from wikipedia:

On October 8, 1997 a pumpkin appeared atop the spire of McGraw Tower. Because of the danger involved in retrieving it, administrators decided to leave it until it rotted and fell off. However, the pumpkin rapidly dried out in the cold air and remained on the tower until it was removed with a crane on March 13, 1998 (it was planned that Provost Don M. Randel would remove it, but in a practice run the crane basket was blown by a gust of wind and knocked the pumpkin off). Some people had claimed that a real pumpkin could not stay up that long without rotting and that it must be artificial. However, subsequent morphological, chemical, and DNA analysis by both faculty members and undergraduates confirmed that it was indeed a pumpkin.
In April of 2005, a disco ball was attached to the top of the tower. A crane was hired to remove the offending orb in an operation which cost the university approximately $20,000.
