Thread Name: Come you pranksters, fess up!
Subject: RE: Come you pranksters, fess up!
There is a book put out by Re/Search press called "Pranks". Contains interviews with performance artists and people like Abbie Hoffman. I have it in my possession if anyone is looking for ideas.:) Rebellion seems to have been so much more fun in those days.

I never played too many elaborate pranks myself. Down home some of the guys used to get the groom drunk at his stag, put him passed out on the train to Montreal (five hundred miles away) with five hundred bucks in his pocket, a nice chunk of change in the 70s.

He would then wake up in his room (they always got him his own room) with a conductor pounding on the door telling him to get up as the train was in the station.
