Here's to you Confessor

The other day I was reading the Confessor’s blog; and it got me thinking. I have something to confess. I bet you all are thinking, “Big deal, we all have something to confess”. But in my case it involves the Smurfs, Gravy, and The 100 hour board. Before I confess to this act I find it essential to give you a little bit of a background as to what events led to this covert scheme, that myself and two other accomplices have done.

It all started when Smurfs and Gravy were roommates. The two were so roguish that they did some crazy things to my roommates and me. Including: leaving a Taco Bell cup full of urine setting on the back of our toilet repeatedly, and breaking into our house one Sunday and taking our microwave, Christmas tree, TV, VCR, DVD player, and some food that was in the fridge. Now, I have to admit looking back I find those jokes to be quite funny. Man, they sure got us. Well, from our standpoint at the time, it was not funny, because it all happened one after another in a short amount of time. We were kind of annoyed but, went along with it until; Gravy planted a cup full of chocolate frosting and toilet paper on the back of the toilet. Yeah, I know it’s funny I thought it was great at the time and honestly, I laughed.

My roommate and I went to workout late one night and we got to talking, it wasn’t fair that the guys were having all this fun at our expense. We wanted to get them back, for everything they had done to us. We knew who we were dealing with. It had, to be one prank that would make up for all those things they did to us, it had to be covert, and the timing had to be just right. So for the next few weeks K, and I brained stormed. We had loads of ideas. We finally decided we wanted to do something with packing peanuts. After shopping around we decided the best way for us to get a large amount of peanuts would be to buy them from eBay. We had them mailed to one of our friends that didn’t live with us. So we kept planning and plotting. Smurf was always hanging out with H till late at night (at our apt.) so K, and I started going to workout at like 1 am and made sure that Smurf new it was normal for us to leave the house at that time. We learned Smurf’s work schedule, and Gravy’s schedule. Our prank was starting to get really complex and we needed another person, but whom could it be? It couldn’t be H, because Smurf was to close to her and would be able to tell if she was lying right away, and she would be the first person Smurf would accuse, so she had to be left out of our plans completely. We decided on letting D in on our scheme. But she had to be tested before we could fully trust her. K, and I came up with a juicy story, and I told it to D, and then K, tried to get it out of her. She passed. So then D started working out with us late at night. We even dropped by the Smurfs and Gravy’s house for a “visit” so we could scope out the scene. We finally had it all planed out. Now, we just had to wait for the perfect opportunity. Gravy was starting quite a stir with the board at that time. He did a prank to… I believe Latro's house and the board was upset, (and I believe they were threatening to get him back). That was our cue. We gathered all of our materials and loaded them up into K’s jeep, and told H and Smurfs that we were going to work out (we really did go workout just so we would have an alibi). After we were sure Smurf returned home and was sound asleep we parked our vehicle a block away set out on our attack. We carried the three large bags of packing peanuts, and a large cardboard we had prepared to put over the door. Duct taping the cardboard to the doorframe we began to fill the gap between to door and cardboard with packing peanuts all the way to the top. And once that was successfully done we went home. Knowing Gravy would be the first one out the door in the morning, he would open it and all the peanuts would fall into the house. Haha!

Both Smurf and Gravy thought that the board did it, and never questioned us about it. Until this very day they have no idea it was us. My favorite part about this prank is that it took a great deal of planning, and we never got caught. We have done a couple other pranks on them and they didn’t even suspect us. It felt good to get them back. And it was important for them not to know who did it because we knew they would fight back (the last thing we wanted to do was get into war with these pranksters). Now, I would like to just think of ourselves as even. Smurf, you shouldn't feel any need to get me back. Right?

Lesson to be learned: Never underestimate Wiggle.
