Screw Prom

[Asturiel]

Haha, when I first read the thread title I thought it said "Screw Porn", and now I'm thuroughly disappointed...

Good to see I wasn't the only one.

I didn't goto my senior prom either. We had one hell of a party, legendary in fact.

We played a fine, simple game I think was first demonstrated by American fighter pilots.

Two teams, each with a similar piano, an old upright can be purchased for next to nothing, a toilet seat suspended between two trees or poles by four cords so that it?s held firmly in place and a sledge hammer. The object for each team is to demolish their piano and all the pieces shoved through their toilet seat. First team to accomplish that feat wins.

Obviously since you now have these two shredded pianos you?ve got to burn the remains. The victor gets to light the fire. The game can be played for a keg, cost of the party or anything agreed upon.

Plus loads of drinking during your piano burn will ensure an amazing night never to be forgotten. Enjoy!

...that sir is an amazing game.

Ill keep that in mind during our next shenanigans

Wow, you guys... are you backed up on porn/sex?

The words look similar enough and it's somewhat late!

Ok, stay with me. First, you find a prison. Not maximum security, but still pretty tough. Using public information, you find out which construction company built it. You enter their building posing as AC repairmen. Steal the blueprints for the prison. Have them tattoed on your body, hidden in what appears to the untrained eye to be an elaborate mosaic of angels fighting demons. After studying the blueprints thoroughly, devise an elaborate but brilliant escape plan, with key parts of it hidden in you and your friends tattoos. Finally, you and your friends rob a bank, using illegal firearms to take everyone hostage. Get yourself arrested. At your trial, you should be able to request which prison you get sent to, due your lack of criminal history. Make sure you get sent to the one you've already "cracked", as they say. Now you are ready to begin your escape.


Waaay better then prom, trust me.

I would say it's better than prom...far better than prom...far better than most things in fact.

It's just "better"

OT: I would just go to prom, go to the after party, if it sucks, shenanigans as you have planned it.

The hill-billy hot tub is a great idea!

I went to my senior prom but mainly because my GF at the time kinda made me go. I'd have rather hosted a lan-party or ... well, anything!

 

[Pegghead]

Why not just hold your own party under your own directions and invite some other people, wouldn't it be a bit depressing if you celebrated your new-found freedom by getting wasted in a basement with your mates?

 

[Ham_authority95]

pay a prostitute for sex with all your buddies

drop acid, crash the prom, and let the LSD do the rest.....

Or you can go with the hash brownie and water fight idea, only eat 200% more brownies than you originally intended to.

EDIT: If you were a musician,I would suggest that you take some generators out to the country, plug in the amplifiers, and have a night long, drug enhanced jam session....

That's what I want to do anyway.

 

[Ham_authority95]

Ask the bank to convert it into pennies and go buy something with it. And DEMAND they count it exactly, then re-count it to make sure.

And be sure to take some drugs before you do this so it will seem entertaining

Yeah me too.


OT: Get drunk on cheap booze and go to a local theater and heckle. When they try to kick you out say you payed good money for your tickets and you aren't leaving. Bring a camera.

Then post the video of it on the escapist.

I'm sorry this thread got me thinking about it again and I have to post this here. Silly little prom story here:

Basically I was minding my own damn business playing some Oblivion at a friends hours 3 years ago when I got a phone call from my mom saying that her friend's daughter's friend wanted to talk to me about prom. Now keep in mind, this was the night before prom and I had already decided I didn't really feel like going. Anyway I respond with a confused, "Okay I guess." With the craving to play more Oblivion yanking at my brain stem. Eventually I begin talking to this girl who claims to know me and seems to be pretty dead set on getting me to go. After some time I remember said girl and I eventually cave and decide to go. Fortunately someone in their group could no longer go so I got his ticket, his spot in the limo and his dinner (I did have to run out and get a last minute tux the day of though... that sucked).

Anyway so I went. And to be honest it wasn't horrible (our school blew a lot of cash that year and because of us and our loud ass DJ we ended up getting some fish killed and now no school is allowed to host their prom at the Atlanta Aquarium). I ended up dating this girl by the time summer rolled around and stayed with her for two years. And guess what? I pretty much hate her now. The last half of our relationship was a disaster... and she also tore my V for Vendetta graphic novel to shreds. How could this have been avoided? If I didn't go to prom.

Moral of the story: Don't go to prom.

I've decided not to go my senior prom, seeing as how a) the people in my school talk about the post-prom party without any supervision, b) I'm sure I can think of better ways to spend $180 to celebrate the end of high school, and c) prom isn't very important to me.

So my friends and I have decided to set up a "Screw Prom Budget", with each of us contributing what would be our prom fee ($180). Since there's about 5-6 of us, we have about $900.

Escapists, give me suggestions on how to spend this money for an epic end-of-high-school-blow-out.

I'm thinking about making some hash-brownies, getting some alcohol, having a slip-and-slide/water-gun fight at my park at night, followed by using the rest for bail the following morning.

Edit: I found a few paper-scribblings:
-rent a pickup, put tarp in the back... jacuzzi?
-halo 1 drinking game: play entire campaign legendary, one shot for every death

Go. Trust me, you'll like it. It'll be the last time you'll see most of the people you know again. Unless you don't have any friend at school (nothing wrong with that.)

 

[Slaanax]

I agree just have a fun party, I stayed home and played Everquest, which also was a lot of fun. I was pissed the school made me pay 50 dollars to get a graduation dress.

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

I remember our school prom was in our school canteen and we had to pay like £15 to go ... i refuse to dance where i eat lol

What is "prom"?

 

[ace_of_something]

In the united states you can't rent equipment unless you're 21 in most states and cars until you're 25.

Ah, don't worry. I have a secret legal weapon. Otherwise, how else could I get the booze?

Secondly, Holy shit what are they doing for your prom?
Ours was like I think $14 a ticket and it was in an aircraft museum. And post-prom carnival was like I think $6 a ticket. I paid for everything but my date's dress and I don't think even after dinner and prophylactics spent even $180. Damn

Umm... I think they just give a really classy dinner-and-dance party. They rent out a ball room and get the catering service to deliver food.

They hired DJ's and had catering too Mostly snacky foods if I recall. Though our class had like 500 people. Maybe the volume allowed cheaper tickets? Or maybe it's because I'm old and my prom was like 13 years ago. I'm going to ask my nephew about inflation rates he goes to the same high school I did.

It's a fancy dinner-and-dance to celebrate the end of high school. They probably have something similar wherever you live but with a different name.

Buy 900 ice cream sandwiches. Just think, for every dollar you don't invest in them, you could have had a delicious ice cream sandwich.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

I'm not going to prom. 'Tis an irrelevant waste of time IMO. I'll stay home playing mein games and stuff.
As for a suggestion... get some friends and play yer favorite games till dawn...
However, that plan does not include money, which means its not what your looking for...
Forget I mentioned it..

 

[Ham_authority95]

Duuuudeee...the pennies are talkin' to me...this SO beats prom...

I can taste purple now!!!!

 

[Flamingpenguin]

What you, sir, are describing is called anti-prom. I suggest you go to steak and shake and get one order of fries, then tip all your money. Make sure you stay to watch the waiter/waitress FLIP THE FUCK OUT. Hehe.

Or you could spend it on one of the less novel ideas above. Whatever works for you.

 

[Yoshemo]

I wish I could do that.. but my parents are FORCING me to go, despite me not having a date, not liking more than 2 people there, all my other friends not going, and they know Im gay!

Sorry, no Stake n Shakes in NY D:

I could try some other place like Applebees or TGIFridays, and tip $200, but I don't think my friends are very... altruistic.

You guys should do the piano thing but with, something non-musical, I don't really know. But I agree that destroying working musical instruments is not cool (Whoever put forward the idea first, don't take that too seriously.) Considering you're gonna have hash brownies on hand, pretty much anything you do will wind up seeming hilariously awesome. I highly recommend fireworks if they're legal in you're area.
