Unfortunately I was not in this video. I graduated in 04. But our floor in Wilson Hall totally would have done something like this.

We duct taped a guy from our floor to the wall of our sister floor when we were courting them. His feet were two feet off the ground. He was up there for three hours before we let him down.

We started a fire and the whole floor had to be relocated to other dorms for a few months why they repaired it.

I always wondered why they called those "rodeo buffers". the only thing that beats that are iguana races down the hallways. also hallway boxing is pretty cool.

Where and when was this? :smile:

1997 over on Wolf House in Larch. Somehow a blanket got thrown on a halogen light and caught it on fire. They thought they put out the fire only for it catch on fire again and next thing you know the whole floor has smoke damage and we are displaced throughout campus.

There was a very skanky girl on our floor who brought some ghetto wannabe (white guy with a Kobe jersey and dreads) back to our dorm. Thinking she wouldn't get caught, she took the guy into the guy's shower for a romp. We had got back from a party, and our RA was out of town for the weekend, so assuming the RA on duty was in bed, we started drinking beer between the elevators (lived in Larch). My buddy Joe had to take a leak, so he went into the bathroom. He heard some noise from the shower and noticed 2 pairs of feet in that shower, rather than 1. Now, the showers of course had two curtains. One separated the outside of the shower from the bathroom, and the other separated clothing hooks from the rest of the shower. Joe reached in and removed their clothing from the hooks, and threw it in the trash in our dorm den.

Watching the Dread Locked Kid running up and down our hallway wrapped in a shower curtain begging people for clothes was easily one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

Bottle rockets down the hallways and between the towers finals week. Knocking the pizza box out of someone's hand with water ballons. How high can a bowling ball bounce? :wideeyed:

My FR year (89) the guys from 8th floor Larch had a kegger in the storage closets when their RA went to ROTC for the weekend. They cleaned out both closets and had figured out a way to make the elevator bypass all the floors from the basement to 8. Then they used a TV box to bring in the kegs. Everything was going swimmingly until it rained in Des Moines and ROTC canceled. They all got new addresses OFF campus at the end of the semester...not their choice.

This was also the group that had a contest to see which team could make the biggest pile of 'road kill' in the parking lot at Hilton. Turns out when you fill the parking lot at ISU up with road kill...no one wins. They all got in big trouble for that one as well.

On the way out someone nuked a dead opossum for 5 hours in the microwave...leaving it for the RA to clean.

The next year (I had moved already) the RA for 4th floor held a pig roast and kegger in the Cessna den for Viesha...actually roasting the pig right there. He somehow got away with it.

The floor in Frieley Hall I moved to had just gotten in big trouble the year before when they tried to succeed from the UDA over the $10 per person housing dues. They sent the letter and saying they would not pay. Then the UDA shot back they had to pay. Then they said not only were they not paying but they were going to shut off access to other floors from using their hall ways (was next to one of the main stairwells). That got everyone's underwear in an uproar...even though it was a joke the ISU legal team got involved...I guess because of fire escape issues. It got a lot bigger than it ever should have...but was funny. The HA held a grudge and he and I locked horns over some other stuff the year I moved in. He brought up the whole succession thing a couple times "You guys all think you're so cute...we'll your not...and we don't think this stuff is funny downstairs". Lighten up Francis.
