Body found tied to sign (Goldsboro NC)

We shaved a guys eyebrows once. Turns out that he had a family picture the next day and have to have a make-up lady draw eyebrows on his head.

I was going to post this earlier, somebody here at work told me about it. I think the operative words here are "trailer, set between wide, green fields of corn". That and I imagine a large amount of beer. 'Hey, y'all, TW's passed out. Let's go wrap him up to that stop sign up on the main road'

And for the record, I can say I was not involved and knew nothing beforehand. However I have knocked down a stop sign or 12 in the past

My prediction on the 'cause of death' is that he overheated from his bodies inability to dissapate heat due to being wraped in saran wrap.

My thought too. Probably never woke up. I'd think he could have clawed his way out unless his hands were bound.

[ShadowAce]

Don't you live in NC?

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Oh, boy. There is not enough time in the day (not to mention that I am busy as h@ll). We did more things to people that had passed out: markers, shaving cream, tape, bodily relocations, etc.

One dude got ink poisoning.

A good buddy of mine used to pass out in the middle of a party just like clockwork. We'd basically see him begin to sway and start cooking up a plan.

Another good friend if mine passed out on his own coach and woke up on it ... outside on his deck surrounded by the entire contents of his living room.

Fortunately, nothing went as bad as the article. On the other hand, I been both in the presence of and party to enough near misses (literally) with guns and alcohol that I promised myself not to get a handgun until I "grew up".

Quite a few mailboxes have been the victim of a good "yarding"

[lavrenti]

As a young teenager I lived in Western North Carolina. We did stupid stuff like that. When I was fourteen, my then-girlfriend and I woke up handcuffed together in the front yard of her house.

Obviously, we had a lot of ’splaining to do.

Or that he suffocated. That plastic wrap is called shrink wrap for a reason. When it heats up it shrinks

[KayEyeDoubleDee]

Not that I would do that, since messing with someone's mailbox is, uh, like, a federal offense.

[Corin Stormhands]

No, I'm in Virginia.

[ShadowAce]

Well, I was close.. :)

I bet life long residents of NC can come up with some reports on pranks gone wrong that make this one seem tame.

PL, that comment seems awfully pointed!!

One memorable thing that happened to me was when I got really drunk the weekend after high school graduation.

We all went to Atlantic Beach and rented a block of hotel rooms.

My mistake was mixing tequila, beer, vodka and bourbon in the same night (I was 17, what can I say).
My friends laid me out in the hotel parking lot and drew a chalk line around me.
Then they put me in the fighting chair of a fishing boat parked in the lot and let me sleep there.

Reportedly pictures exist, but my friends say they are holding them until our 20 year class reunion. I still haven't seen 'em.

That's the only drunken prank story I have suitable for a family forum!

[billbears]

Oh, no not that I've ever done that or knew friends that drove around in the back of a pickup bashing mailboxes. No, I've never done that either. It would be against the law you know

[Phantom Lord]

I know pictures exist of me during a very very very drunken episode. I remember them being taken. I will not describe the incident in this forum. But my friend who took them and has them will not let me see them nor give them to me.

He likes to use them as a 'weapon' against me. Don't make me brake out those pictures of you!

While I don't have pictures of him for weapons, I have information on him. So we both try to keep each other in line with the 'weapons' we have against each other.

Both of us would be 'dead' if the stuff got into the wrong peoples hands so we like to have a little friendly back and forth with the stuff.

Or that he suffocated.

Yeah, my thought too. Or, given that he was "partly laid over" when found, may well have aspirated his own vomit. Not that it matters much - he was dumb, and his friends were dumber, and now he's dead.

[Baseballguy]

Life is scary. What allows us to believe that this is ok. When do we become animals with others emotions and physical aspects. I hope no charges are brought cause you cant punish stupid people for stupid things.

Some are destined to have such fame if you allow you beliefs and ethics to be not by Gods Word. Treat yourself and others as a temple of God. Soo much saddness that I will never understand WHY this happens. I will pray for those involved and hope they come out of this better.

As the de facto interim President, I was hoping for a cool hat like Hamid Karzai:

However, I may have to settle for a Tin Foil version:
