Skeeze and Pranks

Miss Living Next Door to These Crazy Kids!



Some of the Neighbors On The 4th Of July




Another SIU tale. I lived next to a fraternity house my last year of college. I had grown incredibly close with these boys and had come to look at them as brothers of my own. They came to visit me at the bar when i was working or came over to hang out at the house with my roommate whom we shall call Hippie when we were bored. They were a good time and always up to some sort of antics.

Sorry I know a lot of these are going to be run on paragraphs but I have a lot to say and want to get it all out! Besides it's my blog and I do what I want!

At one point we waged a firework war on eachother. They would set off firecrackers in our hallway and we would set off smoke bombs in their house. I got one guy so drunk he passed out and didnt wake up when i set one off in his room. He had cardboard for windows so we were able to air it out but it was scary to think I almost killed a guy! The guys would constantly yell outside my window when I was trying to sleep and wake me up. They did it because they were drunk and thought it was funny. At 3am I would hear my name being called and banging on the windows to come out. I think they forget I was trying to graduate. I had to pick some of them up an hour away at 5am because they were in jail for a supposed DUI which actually got thrown out in court! I was the only one to answer the phone and they knew I would be up and could come and get them, so being the good neighbor and friend that I am I went and retreived the boys from their holding cell. I got a sweet shirt for it to, it says DUI Taxi Driver on it with thier fraternity logo on the front. I witnessed a near death when the crazy little guido got upset with France and pushed him out onto the sloping roof and kept trying to punch and kick him. I had to call one of the guys from afterhours because I saw a trash can and then France go out the window followed by the Guido. The funniest part was that it wasnt even his fault the paintball went through his room! It was Huff's the whole time! But none of these storeis compare to the one I am about to tell.



Skeeze As A Banana



They were in on the prank!!

One day we were all sitting on the porch and had been out in the kiddie pool I had purchased and we were drinking. Well Skeeze decided to regail us with his tails of promiscuity and then say people kept putting his name and number on matches at the bar. I for one found this as an opportunity. Skeeze and I had become newer friends and he did not have my number yet. I got his number from my roommate and decided to get everyone in on this little prank. I started texting him telling him that i got his number from him on some matches and wanted to meet him. he at first didnt bite the bullet and couldnt figure out who it was. i started sending him dirty messages to see if he would join in the fun. bullseye, he went along with it. I was literally sitting across from him text him back and forth and he never caught on. His friends were all trying not to laugh and let him see that it was me. They would let him see their phones either because they all had my number. This went on for a good 6 hours, I decided I wanted him to meet me at the bar. I told him I would be wearing a red shirt and khaki shorts and i would meet him tehre at nine. I guess my texts were good enought that he wanted to come and meet me.


Skeeze Passed Out on My Birthday

I thougt at one poin the figured it out because everyone kept dropping obvious hints to him. But I am tricky so I was able to play it off. I had my phone turned on silent to and he thought I was just texting someone else the entire time. So I went home and got ready. I put the outfit on that I said I would wear and left my house with a hoodie over it so as not to tip him off. I waited around for a bit because I had to be there earlier. I had the boys text me when he was on his way. I snuck out the back door (perks to being the manager of the bar!) and waited in the alleyway for them to go in. Once I got the text that they were there and waiting I started my decent down the stairs to get to where they were sitting. I saw his face before he saw mine and he looked excited for a minute (i mean honestly I could have looked any sort of way) he then realized that it was me and got pissed. He was embarrassed that I had stumped him and that I had been sitting across from him all day doing it. His friends made fun of him relentlessly and bought him a waterfall shot to top it off. A waterfall is when you give someone a lakewater shot and have them throw their hands in the air after taking it and yell waterfall, meanwhile the bartender has cups of water waiting to throw in their face when they yell. Not to add insult to injury but it was worth it. Since that day we have been great friends, but I will never let the Skeeze forget it!

I tricked this same house once before. i convinced another one of the guys who was a bit promiscous that I was having his baby. I played it off by dropping the right names, with a little help from my friends! and had him going for awhile. His friends were texting me and telling me that he was freaking out because he didnt know who i was, he didnt want to be a dad, and that i had ruined his life. Again this went on for awhile, and one of the guys had figured out it was me. He called me (luckily not around the guy) and said he knew what was going on because he knew my voice. I told him to go along with it and I would be over soon to tell him. This is why I love male friends, they go along with my pranks and dont ask questions. So Kyle had turned his phone off on me and would not answer. I shoved a pillow in my shirt and headed over to their house. I knocked on the door and everyone was standing in front of me that came along for the show. They said they heard he was going to be a daddy and wanted to see what was going on, they said they knew the girl and that she was in cdale. That's when i stepped between them with my pillow belly and said nice to meet you i'm Tanya (or whatever the name was that I used.) ive never seen someone look so relieved before. He laughed about it and said that it was a good joke but dont ever do it again. He then stored my number so jokes could not be played!

Carbondale had a way of making boredom turn into ridiculous fun. I miss the lazy summers where we could just hang out and play pranks on each other. I guess at some point you can't all live in a block radius of each other! Or can you?! moral of this blog, watch out because my pranks are awesome!
