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