my shoe part two

I have figured out what happened to my shoe. Both my hypotheses were in fact wrong, and Jen's confession was completely untrue.

(I suppose John Mark Karr isn't the only one to admit to a crime not committed. Now I don't care about the story, nor do I want to learn much about it. However CNN seems to think it's worth covering. But this is neither here nor there.)

Apparently my parents and their friends who live three houses down play pranks on each other. So they thought it would be a good idea to hide my shoe where I could not find it (even using a headlamp). They didn't know they were mine.

SO, now it is my turn to prank them. Retaliation is just a short time away... I just have to come up with something good. That's where you come in. I want all the suggestions that you can come up with, as long as they do not cause permanent damage. I will post pictures. Now maybe this is the most childish way to respond to them hiding my shoe, but it is me after all, and I live for this stuff.

1. Ask all your friends to donate shoes they no longer want, and then fill their car with smelly shoes.

2. Toss a pair of shoes over the power lines in front of their house. Have something nasty dripping from the shoes.

3. Put an ad in the paper offering a $50 reward for the return of your lost shoe, and list their phone number.

Of course, you could probably get sued for any of these actions, and I don't advocate you use them. For entertainment purposes only. Use at your own risk. :)

I like idea #1, but I might modify it a little bit.

number two doesn't work, there are no power lines above ground.

three involves more money than I am willing to spend.

But I am glad you are watching your back from a legal standpoint, though these people will not sue. They may gripe and complain, but that's not a big deal.

Excuse me that was a perfectly good confession and now you've wasted it and outted me all at the same time!

However I do like the way your mind works. I think retaliation is imperative.

I like the idea of the smelly shoes in the car. If the shoes werent sufficently funky enough..you could always go to the local sportsman store and get one of those cans of skunk smell..

They dont cost much but are very effective. I understand that there is cheese that also smells a great deal like feet.

Yeah, this prank has potential, but I'd like to hear a few more ideas.

You're right, maybe I shouldn't have tried to milk your guilt. You're totally off the hook, especially since you made me feel like rubbish for wasting that appology.

Well if money was no object..and you could get your hands on few dozen lawn knomes or some nice pink flamigos..and A CD of a mariachi band...some well places speakers...

You know the possiblities are endless...

Guilt I have an endless supply of...Good confessions are few and far between. I hate to see them wasted. *grin*

Now you know...ahhh the shame. *sigh*

I always found a dead fish stuffed inside a couch or underneath a window (well hidden in/behind a shrub or bush of course) to be really effective.

The smell gets worse with each and every passing day and lasts a LOOOOOOONG time. You wont have to retrieve the thing, it will get rid of itself- in a few weeks/months.

But that will be long enough to get a point across.

Getting hold of some marijuana seeds, tossing them liberally over the intended victims lawn and waiting for them to grow (it only takes a few days for a bush to appear)is also quite fun. And illegal.

CALL THE COPS AND WATCH THEM GET ARRESTED.

Whats a criminal record between friends?
