This post is aimed at a few of our older Warrior Fanatics, but anyone should post if they have a great story:
What is the craziest, most ridiculous thing that you ever did or that ever happened to you while living in the dorms. There has to be dozens of stories about stuff that happens in McC every year, but someone has to have "that one story that tops everything else" and it's the reason why you're going to give your (future) kids a stern talking to before they go off to college themselves (or force them to commute if it was that bad).

Can't vouch for the complete validity of this one, but heard it from several who claim they were there.
Seems that the 8th floor nerd at McCormick was getting on people's nerves all semester. Right before finals around 1973 or so, Maurice Lucas decided to take matters into his own hands. The nerd was rounded up and brought to Luke's room. The window screen was removed and Maurice grabbed that sucker by the ankles and held him upside down out of the 8th floor window. I guess if you had to be held out of the window, it would be comforting to know that Lucas was strong enough not to let go.

Last year, I went home for a concert one weekend, came back sunday evening. I went into the bathroom...one of the stall doors (which are pretty much bolted on to their fixtures) was torn off and snapped in half completely. I proceeded to walk out into the hallway and notice that half of the doors on our floor were covered in laundry detergent...I feel like that's one of the crazier times I experienced...
or maybe when somebody pooped in the common room...
or maybe when my friend ran around our floor naked...
or maybe when the maid refused to clean our bathroom because everyone would throw in the sinks/urinals, poop and never flush, and dump their empty beer cans in the tiny trash can in there, creating a mountain of empties, and expect this poor woman to clean it up...we went 2 weeks without a bathroom cleaning...
in conclusion, McCormick hall=insanity and the greatest times anyone's life

McCormick Hall, room 734, a triple.
Up in the ceiling, there were a couple of bottles with notes on them, talking about old experiences in the room.
Me and my roommates created a "time capsule" full of cigarettes, notes, little liquor bottles, and some things I'd rather not mention in a public forum.
Anyway, there was some weed in there, because one of my roommates was a pretty big pothead. Unfortunately, the room hall director got the suspicion he was dealing and called the cops. The police came with a smelling dog, and the dog went right for his desk where they found about an ounce of some of the best gange you could smell.
The dog was also barking like crazy at the ceiling, and we didn't want the cops finding the time capsule because we had put some serious time into that. The dog just kept barking like crazy, but the cops were pulling on its leash, trying to get it to shut up. Eventually, they had to drag the dog out because they thought it had gone crazy, barking at the ceiling.

My soph year at Schroeder, 2003-2004, one of my friends got a stripper and checked her into Schroeder. Desk person just let her in. That was an interesting night.

The Lucas story is half correct. I was at MU at the time. What actually happened was there was a guy who started what almost became an all out race riot in the McCormick cafeteria. It had started on the floors and over time spread to other areas in the dorm culminating with the cafeteria incident. After several weeks of tension and small incidents, Lucas took matters into his own hands, literally.
I knew another guy from his hometown and high school (which was in a suburb of where I lived) who also lived in McCormick and regularly rode back and forth with me on breaks. I got the whole story as it was happening.
The guy was moved to the first floor of Schroeder in a single right by Father Naus's room for his safety for the rest of the semester.
The guy transfered to another school the next year; rumor had it that he was asked not to return.
-
convinced our RA in OD, my freshman year, to let us throw a party in our 'wing'. Somehow he agreed and we all got bombed in the wing with his approval...
Sophomore year, In the newly rennovated "Straz" hall (it was East Hall when I was there) my friends down the hall were playing 'dorm room nerf basketball' and managed to hit a sprinkler head in their room on the 6th floor... causing it to gush water 4 inches deep in their room in approximately 30 seconds. If anyone tells you that sprinklers aren't effective, they are full of sh it. The kids on the floors below them were NOT pleased. Ended up costing them over $5k each (4 of them) to get everything repaired, and took about a week for all the water to finally dry up.

As long as she had a photo ID and she wasn't wearing a nametag that says, "I'm a stripper," I can't possibly see how the desk person would have stopped her.

freshmen year we found a keg in madison, brought it back, snuck it into mccormick in a large suitcase, and threw it out a 7th floor window. we all watched from below, crazy. it was funny watching dps, they were so confused.
-
Freshman year in O'Donnell, one of my buddies lived at the far NE corner of the 3rd Floor. An alley between 18th and 19th ran along this part of the building. So when we wanted to sneak beer in, we would load it in a backpack, drape an extension cord outside the building, tie it to the backpack, and pull it up thru his window (with screen removed).
Sophomore year, in Schroeder:
One of the guys on the floor decided to throw a party in his triple the weekend our RA was out of town. After the duty RAs went to bed for the night, we decided to stack all our empty beer cans against the RA's door. He came back early the next morning (like 8AM) to find his room inaccessable due to the wall of beer cans.
Later on this year, during parents' weekend, one of my neighbors ripped pages out of his playboys and put them on the door of everyone in our wing.
The night we beat Pittsburgh in 2003, my buddies on the 4th floor destroyed a futon into pieces celebrating in their hallway. 2 days later, we broke into a buddy's room on the 4th floor to watch the Kentucky game, drank down his fridge full of beer, and pulled the fire alarms after the game to help clear the building and get everyone outside to run to the lake.
Non-dorm shenadigan, but we had chronic fire alarm issues during the winter of 2003. So on a Thursday night at about 2:00, the alarm was pulled by a drunk coming back from Thirsty Thursday, so we had to leave the building. Everyone headed over to Cudahy to stay warm. Two of my neighbors went up to the 4th floor, picked up one of the giant potted plants, and threw it OVER THE EDGE into the atrium floor of Cudahy 5 stories below, covering the entire floor of Cudahy in dirt. Thank God no one was down there at least.

Did he end up at Notre Dame?
Sophomore year at Mashuda, some kids on the floor decided to rig a Roman candle with a time-delay fuse so when they lit it and it went down to the lobby, it'd go off.
It did.
-
sitting in the mccormick hall cafeteria for lunch. one of the giant fake plants that they had hanging from the ceiling suddenly falls. we go grab it and take it up to our floor. push aside the already cut screen and tie the giant plant to the support bar that ran outside the window.
the next morning, we are woken up by dps and the hall director demanding to know why the giant plant was hanging out the window. the best part was that the plant had slid down the bar in the night and to get it down, they had to cut the screen in the floor below. was pretty funny to see a giant plant hanging from mccormick.
then there was the night when we lived off campus when we had to call the fire department on ourselves. that made the paper. 8-)

Beer pong can easily be set up in a Straz Quad...take the plywood under the matress and prop it up on some chairs.
We had a big beer pong event scheduled one night, and I was on my way to the room. I get a call telling me not to bother...party busted. Apparently the RA found out, and decided to pour all 48 cans of miller lite down the toilet....heartbreak.
Funny thing is, when the RA came into the room, one kid decided to hide in the shower as to aviod getting written up. He was able to hide in the shower the entire time the RA was dumping the beer down the toilet.
A prank that I have always been fond of...fill up a grabage can with water and lean it on its edge against the door. Knock on the door, and leave...person opens the door and the water pours out. They have no idea what hit em.
Want a free pizza from Papa Johns? Try the "Roomate Special"...two Large Pizzas for the price of 1. I dont know if the promotion actually exists, but it worked everytime, no coupon necissary.

Dorm security must be incredibly variable. We had a quad at West .. which shared a wall with the Hall Director, who lived there. She found out about our first party, but told us .. just keep it under control, keep the noise down after midnight, and we'll be fine. Had numerous parties with her tacit approval.
As for shenanigans..
One month, one of my roommates didn't pay the phone bill (most of which was his) and our phone was disconnected. We'd noticed an access cover in our bathroom with 100s of phone wires going through the wall. With some alligator clips and some patience finding wires that were paired, we eventually tapped into someone's phone and could dial out .. although we didn't know whose it was .. turned out to be the campus ministry couple (husband and wife) who lived at West. No good. Picked some other wires, and used someone's phone for a week. (And no, we didn't make long distance calls on their dime.)
On occasion, the other party would pick up during our call and we'd say "oh, gosh, the lines must be crossed again."
-
I lived on the 9th floor of Schroeder 2 years ago, one night the majority of our floor decided to have a slip n, slide down the hallway. So a few people went down to the desk and got a hundred or so garbage which we ductaped to the floor and then covered it with water and shampoo. When the RAs came around about 15 minutes later, the floor above us complained about making too much noise and someone yelled at them, everyone was in the shower. Eventually the RAs corraled a few people, and one of the guys, who was slightly intoxicated, started screaming you will never find out who did this. As it ended up the head of residence life thought it was really funny, and no one actually got in trouble. Supposedly that night is used as a training example for the new RAs on how to deal with extraordinary situations.

Violating curfew with the opposite sex? That's not all I was violating.... Lived in (Carpenter) Tower for two years. Kept it relatively in house while I was there. We cut a hole in the carpet by the elevator and had putting contests. Lost a frisbee out the north window that ended up out on 43. Porn nights when porn meant something. Shaving gel on the ear parts of phones and then calling. Roommates walking in during the violating. Passing out on the john freshman year at the beer can. Minor league stuff.
-
My frosh year in McCormick there was this one couple that was always all over each other in the cafeteria. The guy was commonly referred to as Bon Jovi due to his long hair/rocker look. The girl was a pretty attractive blonde with big hair that was common at the time.
One night, Bon Jovi's roommate got sick of them going at it with him in there, which apparently happened all the time. The roommate complained, so Bon Jovi pulled his mattress and a blanket into the hallway and went back to work. Somebody told the RA who came over and told them they had to get out of the hallway. Bon Jovi asked why and the startled RA came up with, "um, fire hazard."

Fill two kiddie pools in the open area where all the showers are in Schroeder, turn every single shower on and have a pool party. It'll also flood at least two floors below.
-
McCormick 9th floor
One of my floormates dared the other (extremely inebriated) to take the communal vacuum and knock down the exit sign in our hallway. He did.
A ping pong ball getting lit on fire and in turn setting my carpet on fire.
Going to a garage sale, buying little kids bikes, and riding them around the the floor.
Doors getting drunkenly peed on (including the RA's) was also a seemingly regular occurrence.

I did it a couple years ago. But we had "copied" from someone who did it around 2000. Looks like it's a tradition.

It all started the same night I got a fish hook stuck in the couch of wherever I was of that person that you knew. Then atleast a dozen times first semester. 2nd semester I got a friend to check this girl so that made things a lot easier

For some of the tamer stuff, MarqPTM liked to use the tactics of cutting the power to ones room via the circuit breaker or the always popular placing a disgusting image as ones desktop background.
One of the most fun things was playing baseball with the university issued cell phones. This came to an end when MarqPTM foul tipped the phone onto Cobeen's roof.
One of the classics was covering our entire floor with Marquette Basketball posters. It should be noted that robmufan refused to help MarqPTM, myself, and the others because he didn't want to have to help take it down!

Kudos to you guys for plastering the posters everywhere. Totally harmless and yet hilarious. Definitely a classic. How long did that take to do?

Not that long actually.
Carpenter Tower tried to make a big deal out of it, like it was a huge floor unity thing. We told them to F off.

That was hilarious. You guys took the CT4 antics up a notch from the year before.
We just rode unicycles at 3 am during finals, and made balloon walls in front of our RA's door.

Freshman year in McCormick at 2AM, we awoke to the fire alarm going off and smoke so thick you couldn't see the other side of the hallway. After waking up my roommate and telling him we had to get out of here, we ran downstairs. Waiting for the Fire department, we discovered one of our floormates definitely slept in bright red tighty-whiteys (red-ys?). It was disturbing. Upon return to the floor, we discovered the cause to be someone lighting a pizza box on fire in the hallway, and using the confusion created by the ensuing evacuation to take a dump on the floor in the bathroom.
At the Les Aspin Center junior year, a post-work lobbyist open bar reception followed by a keg party followed by getting kicked out of the Hawk n' Dove for underage drinking followed by a football game at 3 in the morning on 4th Street SE required Fr. O'Brien to sit us all down and talk to us about our relations with the neighbors. Apparently some three year old had overheard some of the dialogue from the prior evening and had to ask her mother what "s**tfaced" meant.
Also, numerous shenanigans were had at the Establishment at 12th and Wells in the Newbridge (Like Team Ireland nearly shockingly sweeping the gold at Beer Olympics), but those are more the tragic shenanigans variety that do not merit further explanation in such a public forum.

Our study area had maybe 2 chairs and one crappy sofa in it...so late one night, we raided every other floor, and took all (and I mean all) of their furniture and put it in our area. The room was completely stacked to the ceiling with couches, chairs, etc.
Not exactly the smartest thing. But then a 12 hour drinking binge at the greentree will do that to you.

Please tell me this was 9th floor Schroeder, 2005-2006. Otherwise someone is leading a double life.

A few more from junior/senior year:
I lived above Murphy's junior year (the 2nd floor unit directly above the bar). One weekend, my roommate and I were bored, and a line was congregating outside Murphy's, so he had the bright idea of taking a whole bucket of water and dumping it onto the line.
Later on that year (mid-February), we had a party in our place when our third roommate went out of town for the weekend. We moved all of our furniture from the living room and kitchen into his bedroom and the hallway (a long hallway ran from the living room to the 3 bedrooms), hauled 3 kegs up the stairs, and turned the living room into a dance floor, complete with a DJ booth. Well, we packed the place with like 80-90 people at a given time, had our own bouncers, etc. We even ran beer bongs out the window down to Wells Street.
Unfortunately, just before bartime that night, DPS showed up because a friend of my roommate's passed out in the stairwell on our way up to the apartment. So we shut the music off, funneled everyone out the back alley of the building (between Murphy's and Papa John's) RIGHT PAST THE DPS SQUAD CARS, and the 10 or 15 people that didn't escape hid in our two bedrooms. When DPS knocked on the door, no one answered, and eventually, they took the drunk kid home and just went away. All I know is, for the next month, I had random freshmen asking me if I lived above Murphy's and when our next party would be.
Senior year, I moved to Campus Town East. On the first weekend, my new roommates attempted to bring the broken Renee Row sign up thru the elevator off 16th Street into our apartment, but were unfortunately stopped by DPS. Later on that year, they succeeded into bringing a broken tree branch that probably weighed somewhere around 125 pounds into our living room. After about a week, I eventually flipped out on them and made them throw it out in the dumpster behind the old Open Pantry, and were tracked like a hawk by DPS the whole time.
-
Those DPS cameras are ridiculous. An amusing story about those-
One night my senior year in CTE, we decided to break with the usual pre-gaming routine, and started a putting contest in the hallway. So we all had our drinks in hand, put a cup at the end of the hall, and went to work. I stood over about a 30 foot putt, which I decided to take one-handed so I didn't have to put down my beer.
I read the break of the carpet perfectly, and sank that m-er f-er. Even got a couple golf claps from a random group down the hall.
Anyway, we're still out there about 10 mins later, and the DPS guy is making the rounds. He gets by our apartment, stops, looks at me and says "hell of a putt" and keeps going.
-
Not many dorm stories, but plenty from Campus Town East.
Junior year (2000-2001)
~Nicknamed "Lord of Flies Night" , after a fairly large party that got out of control, our hallway was just filled with trash, lights were flickering on and off, a fire exit sign was ripped out of ceiling, and the elevator broke...DPS was not happy, they sat us down in our living room and gave us a stern talking too...and the one guy who must have been 450 lbs and about 5'9" threatened that we might get expelled, and that the if elevator needed to be replaced we might owe upto $20,000...yeah, we never heard back from DPS after that party, but nice try
~Our 4th floor apartment faced inwards, so looking out the window was a roofing that was about level with the 2nd floor. We routinely just threw all kinds of crap out of her window...beer cans, bottles, plates...we stole a construction sign one night, that made it out the window. Well, someone finally narc'ed on us on a Saturday afternoon, and the familiar DPS knock followed. The woman was actually kind cool, she said ok, who is responsible, just clean it up. We all blamed just one of roommates, so he had to go out to the roof and clean up all of our crap off it, as we mocked him from above.
-
Me and my friends lived in the same house or junior and senior years. We had parties every friday night and eventually became known as the friday night house. From these parties, we began to build a working relationship with DPS. When we were ready to go to the bars, we would call DPS or wave one down and have them go through our house to kick kids out. Between this, a roommate drunkenly running his car into a tree on 17th st and then driving back to the house on a rim, our constant BBQ'ing and drinking in the alley between 17th and 18th st (everytime a DPS office drove by, they were always met with a wave). to sum it up we had alot of run ins with DPS and they were pretty cool with us.
Our last week in the house, after cleaning it up, getting it ready to turn over to the new kids, we were grilling out side just drinking with some music playing. We had a dog at the house the last year (which was another reason DPS loved us) which had dug a 2 foot deep hole in the yard. We decided to take all the leftover boxes and anything burnable that we were going to throw out and fill the hole up with flammable ingredients. We had about a 3 foot tall fire going. DPS, on patrol, would drive past and we would, as always, greet them with a smile. They never stopped to yell at us or anything. at about 10 oclock, and a fire about 4 feet tall at this point, DPS rolls up and we thought we knew what they were going to say. Instead, they say, "hey guys its getting late, how about turning the music down." We turned it down and they took off, never mentioning the fire. They ended up coming back at 10:45 and asked us to cool it with the fire. We never got in trouble, they never yelled at us, they just let us do what we were doing. in the end, we burnt enough stuff to back fill the hole in. Great night.
-
Yeah, as a current resident of the alley between 17th-18th streets, albeit not in the friday house which I did frequent as an underclassmen, DPS is awesome. We lit a couch on fire the last day of finals last year, all DPS did was stop ask us to put it out, and then proceeded to watch and laugh with the rest of us as people attempted to put out the blaze. There are still burn marks opno the tree next to where it occured.

what the heck, I'm sure what happened freshman year (1979-1980) on the fourth floor of McCormick can no longer be the subject of litigation. On a Saturday afternoon we (collective consciousness of six or so) decided the best cure for a hangover would be taking a swim. So, we proceeded to take the door off some room and place it horizontal to block the entrance to the shower area. Then, with the help of a few towels to block the drains and water proof the bottom of the door, we turned on all the showers until it filled the shower room with 2 plus feet of water. Everthing was fine until the weight of the water started to leak down into the third floor bathroom. When the third floor RA came to investigate he removed the towel by the sideways door, thinking the water would slowly flow intothe drain by the sinks. He discovered it was leak that he could not replug. The wave completely flooded the rooms immediately outside the bathroom and several down the hall. Good times, good times.... :o
-
Haha... I was waiting for this one to come up!
That was hilarious. You guys took the CT4 antics up a notch from the year before.
We just rode unicycles at 3 am during finals, and made balloon walls in front of our RA's door.
we were able to continue those antics by locking our RA out of his room. He lined his dresser up fairly nicely with his door so all it took was to break in, slide the big chest he had next to his dresser, lean his desk chair between the chest and door and listen to it fall in place as we closed the door. Only opened about 2 inches once completed. Luckily for him he was able to get a closet rod and knock the chair out of the way enough to open the door. Otherwise someone was gonna try and scale the inside of the building in CT from the 402 room to 405.
The postering of the hall is great though.

One night in McCormick I was having trouble sleeping. I had received a package earlier that day, full of those white packaging peanuts. Bored out of our minds, my roommate and I decided to have a peanut fight, and hundreds of them were thrown around the room. We decided to go to bed and clean it all up the next day. Unfortunately, we happened to be a tour room, so bright and early the next morning, we were awoken by a family staring at the mess on the floor. The dad said, "Rough night, huh?" We didn't even bother trying to convince them it was the result of two sober, bored college kids.
-
There's a good story about a couple of knuckleheads living next door to each other in Mashuda in the early 90's who hatched a brilliant plan to "convert" their doubles into a quad by creating a "hole", err..."hallway" through the wall of their walk-in closets. The "hallway" was created behind those large (~ 5 x 2.5 ft) mirrors that were hung perfectly opposite each other in both rooms. The "hallway" was made possible with the use an eletric hand drill and a belt used as tape measure. Parties were held showing friends their handiwork and at the end of the semester, the large mirors were re-hung to conceal the secret passage.
Rumor has it, a couple of years later, the hole was discovered and while MU Residence Life Dept suspected who the "interior designers" were, they couldn't prove it.
-
One of the classics was covering our entire floor with Marquette Basketball posters. It should be noted that robmufan refused to help MarqPTM, myself, and the others because he didn't want to have to help take it down!
Surprise TT, once again throws one of his buddies under the bus. ;)

TallTitan often had tours go through his room because it was the largest room in Carpenter. I happened to live across the hallway from him, and happened to be extremely hung over every Saturday morningan which was a popular tour schedule. More often than not, a tour was exposed to a marqptm half naked on a futon mowing through a sleeve of Ritz crackers. Not often did they find it funny. However, I did.

Ahh cutting the power... we pulled that one literally one time and then they fixed the lock on the circuit box :(
Also, my friends made one of the strongest walls of TP over my door ever one morning. That was fun. It had to be 8-10 layers deep of TP.
We used to lock one kid we didn't like into his room by taping his doorknob to a doorknob of a closet next to his room. It was classic watching him struggle.
-
convinced our RA in OD, my freshman year, to let us throw a party in our 'wing'. Somehow he agreed and we all got bombed in the wing with his approval...
Sophomore year, In the newly rennovated "Straz" hall (it was East Hall when I was there) my friends down the hall were playing 'dorm room nerf basketball' and managed to hit a sprinkler head in their room on the 6th floor... causing it to gush water 4 inches deep in their room in approximately 30 seconds. If anyone tells you that sprinklers aren't effective, they are full of sh it. The kids on the floors below them were NOT pleased. Ended up costing them over $5k each (4 of them) to get everything repaired, and took about a week for all the water to finally dry up.
Which room was it?

yeah, you guys were pretty obnoxious at times.

westernmost room on the south side of the building... too long ago to remember room numbers.

Admit it, you miss us
Also, I forgot about the fart packs. Somehow a bunch of us got these small packages that would smell awful (worse than a stink bomb) as a promotion for Jackass the Movie. We used to open them and slip them underneath each others doors and run away. The key was to then block the space underneath your door with a towel so no one could get you back with another fart pack.
God, good times...

I preferred removing eyeholes from the doors and then busting the glass stink bombs inside and replacing the eyeholes.

ooo that reminds me!
we used to put a bunch of flour and air in garbage bags and stick just the opening under the slot of a door, and then jump on the inflated end.
huge mess and there was really no way to stop it unless you kept a towel rolled up in that slot all the time.

Damn good idea. I'm pretty jealous I didn't come up with that one.

I'm alright with it...im sure my room would have been targeted frequently....all 4 years!

McCormick Hall, room 734, a triple.
Up in the ceiling, there were a couple of bottles with notes on them, talking about old experiences in the room.
Me and my roommates created a "time capsule" full of cigarettes, notes, little liquor bottles, and some things I'd rather not mention in a public forum.
Anyway, there was some weed in there, because one of my roommates was a pretty big pothead. Unfortunately, the room hall director got the suspicion he was dealing and called the cops. The police came with a smelling dog, and the dog went right for his desk where they found about an ounce of some of the best gange you could smell.
The dog was also barking like crazy at the ceiling, and we didn't want the cops finding the time capsule because we had put some serious time into that. The dog just kept barking like crazy, but the cops were pulling on its leash, trying to get it to shut up. Eventually, they had to drag the dog out because they thought it had gone crazy, barking at the ceiling.
Were you in McCormick in 2004-2005 because I think you were on my floor

Alright, I have no one defining story but rather a ton of pretty good ones.. after consideration, I think I should write a book... but here goes...
Freshman year in McCorm our floor was told by our Hall Director we were "the worst floor on campus." One incident included stealing a Gatorade Jug from Valley Fields and filling it with electrolemonade (vodka, gatorade powder and lemonade), then turning on all the showers and having a steamy towel party in the bathroom. 4 or 5 people ended up passing out on the bathroom floor.
Taking craps in the urinals of the bathrooms on the girls floors in McCormick.
Because of our floor's recklessness and his dislike of paperwork, our RA got fired at semester. So, during his last night on the floor he got hammered with us.
At the end of the year freshman year, me and my roommate had a whole stack of books Bookmarq refused to buy back...so we threw them all out of the window of the 7th floor. DPS made a surprise visit, while my parents were there.
Sophomore year, my roommate walked into Latenight Bingo (an activity for the sober kids at the union), cracked a beer, slammed it in front of everyone, belched, and walked out.
Also sophomore year, our Jesus Freak RA buys us a keg of root beer to have a sober party and keep us from drinking...we all willingly attend...with flasks of whiskey. Can you say free mixer?
Junior year at Renee Row we stole a Christmas tree from Campus Town West's lobby and ran with it all the way back to our apartment, and decorated it with empty cans of Milwaukee's Best. DPS came about 20 minutes later...evidently they followed the trail of pine needles.
Finally...I managed to pee on the statue in front of the union and not get caught.

my RA in schroeder would smoke weed with us.

Enjoying all the stories...keep them coming! However, I have some good ones of my own. Freshman year at McCormick (well not one defining story, but a lot of good shenanigans along the way)
-friend rollerblading down the hall drunk with a cheesehead on his head.
-friend skate boarding down the hall and running into the wall
-window paint all over the bathroom after the wisconsin game saying "unnatural carnal knowledge THE BADGERS"
-beer can pyramid in front of our RAs door
-2 exit signs ripped down on our floor
-broken bathroom stall door and a drunk friend of mine jumping on it singing "surfing U.S.A"
-2 friends doing naked slip n slide in the showers
-common room sofa with a huge dick drawn on it
-duck taping our RAs doorway
-tying the vaccum cord around our RAs door handle and running the vaccum down the hall and wrapped around the exit sign
-3 friends of mine "party-boying" the small mexican janitor lady at 6 a.m. in the bathroom after getting home...lol
-a buddy hides naked in my friends bed as the friend's whose room it was was hooking up with a chick on the futon below...after my friend who's hooking up with the chick says the "code" word, our naked buddy stumbles out of the bed in front of the girl and walks out of the room. the girl wasn't too happy to say the least! lol
-im sure there are more stories but i can't think of any more right now.
-frequent urination in the hallway is common
-majority of our wing was in the hall one night (halloween) and chanting the soccer chant "ollay!" only to have the RA from the floor above us to come down twice and right everyone up in the hallway.

certainly has been some good times!

What years did this happen?!?
No names...of course...I just had some buddies who were RAs there.

This was always a favorite of mine from College Humor. Please tell me a scooper is responsible.

Ha, I remember that.Those were actually my friends who pulled that stunt after a party gone awry. One of my friends was blacked out and decided to pull the fire alarms to get everyone out of his party. Didn't quite work, and things just escalated from there.

'97? i think.

One of my personal favorites. MarqPTM getting the KO when kickboxing our neighbor. And in the end: hugs.
I recommend fast forwarding to 1:22 if you don't want to watch it all.

Haha, I now know who Jimbo is by the voice. We had some econ classes together and were teammates for the Fed Challenge project. Crazy.

That never gets old. Those hallways look much narrower than I remember. TT, any evidence of the knee through the wall from the neighbors down the hall?

I subscribe to the "grenade" or "flash bomb" technique.

Excellent story!
One night at Mashuda, I was walking down the hall and see one of our neighbors come out of his dorm room and kick his leg through the wall. Because he was a rather portly fellow, his leg got stuck and it took a little struggling to break free. Of course I yelled at everyone to come out and watch. He was just kicking it and didn't expect the wall to be 1/4" thick if that. Hilarious.
We offered to never acknowledge the incident and simply put up one of the many posters in the hall over it but he turned himself in. Fool.

Also, I recall MarqPTM's goo gun that shot out a disgusting, sticky ooze that nearly caused a riot in the same hallway when he smeared one too many doors and hit some clothing. That stuff was gross.
-
Also I highly recommend getting a bottle of Tag (never wear it under any circumstance) and duct taping several times around so it sprays. Proceed by throwing it in a room of your choice.
If this happens to you, however, as Jimbo tried on MarqPTM and myself, it can be flushed down a Mashuda toilet for quick disposal.

Correct. A great purchase to piss off anyone.

2004-2005??
I swear to God if you people weren't on my floor...this is really uncanny. We did all the same ridiculous crap. And it wasn't like these were traditions, passed down through the years. They were decisions made while we were black-out drunk.
Also...Fall 2005 semester in Schroeder Hall...there were 13 or 14 fire alarms pulled...just in the first semester. Usually they were at 3 or 4 in the morning and many of them were weeknights. Everytime...we pulled out the Bocce set and played on Schreoder Field until we could go back in..sometimes in the snow. One of those occasions a buddy threw a snowball at a DPS officer and hit him in the face. That didn't end well

westernmost room on the south side of the building... too long ago to remember room numbers.
so it was a quad/triple?

first week in mc with a water balloon launcher reached all the way to that ugly pointed statue outside of AMU
playing with the fire extinguisher
a guy smeared poop on the girls bathroom one night. the custodian thought the girls did it to debase her
stealing entire cakes from the cafeteria
covering the little laser reader in the cafeteria where you place your tray on the carousel, thus stopping its motion and resulting in a HUGE buildup of dirty trays and long lines
trojan horse computer monitor for beer
duct taped passed out friend to his computer chair and set him in the elevator
water/suds fight in schroeder bathroom (i swear, not as homoerotic as it sounds)
drawing giant obscene images in the snow of west town mall for all to see above
there was a rivalry with another mens floor and there was occasional peeing on their common rooms' floors

We were definitely in Schroeder the same years at MU (9th floor for me). I vividly remember the snowball incident. Absolutely hilarious.
