Punk'd on Burn nite
When we returned to our camp between the Man and Wall street burns, all the furniture was upended- not turned over but up on its sides (4 couches)- our moose was hijacked to across the street and precariously perched on some fornicating topiary! This was done in absolute silence and very quickly. There were people in camp and some in a camper just feet away from where the hijinks occured and they never heard a thing. There was no damage or theft. Just punk'd. After initial panic it was very funny! Love to know who the perpetrators were.......

Re: Punk'd on Burn nite
As nothing was actually damaged, I'll second your funny and would try not to be pissed. On burn night we had someone add some very carefully made stickers placed on to our Uhaul. Changed the words from "Moving Made Easier" to "Loving Made Easier". Certainly not the level of shenanigans you experienced, but a punk never the less.
The added "L" was the perfect background color and font. I had to appreciate the planning that went in to that moment of silliness- and that appreciation far outweighed my mild annoyance when I was scrubbing the sticky goo off the trailer at 3am Monday night.

Felony, that's delightful!
The silence and harmlessness especially.
I saw only a very minor prank that I remember at this moment: with a dextrous finger, a whiteboard announcing the wedding of a playa couple had been edited from:

Re: Punk'd on Burn nite
I punked the "cooler con".
Went over there but stopped on an opposite corner behind a truck, changed shirt and dust mask, pulled out a sixpack soft side cooler and walked over to the "con".
They said it was'nt about that type of cooler and tryed to explain about "swamp coolers".
I said "why would anybody want to cool a swamp?"
They said it was like when you're sprayed with a mist and the breeze cools you.
I said "So this bucket is going to spray me with water?"
Then I went on about buckets with holes were'nt good for anything and that I must be in the wrong place.
When I left I said it sounded like a hairbrained idea and whoever came up with the design must be crazy, leaving them confused and frustrated about who that nut was.
Then I went back to the trike, changed into my regular outfit, and came roaring back with the ooga horn blaring and yelling about who came up with this hairbrained cooler design, with my original bucket cooler from the thread bungeed to the trunk of the trike!
I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did.

Somebody put a bottle of Crown Royal on the hub of our camp cannon (Aemma) on 9:D.
As the camp organizer, I nearly freaked, imagining scores of cops descending on our camp and tearing the place part, fining me and everybody for contributing to the delinquency of...
...and then somebody pointed out to me that it was actually full of soy sauce.
There's a lesson here: If you're wandering through the wasteland and come across a bottle of something, you don't just drink it because it has a label on it. First, you assumed. Second, it wasn't yours.
I let it sit there for awhile, and then put it behind the bar because, damn. That's just evil.
Also, a friend found a playafied, dessicated rat under his bumper. We hung it from the cannon. People poked at it and refused to believe it was real. It's a fucking dead rat. Why would you touch something that looks just like a dead rat and automatically assume that it's not exactly what it looks like? For fuck sake, what if it was a scorpion? There's a lesson here...

One More:
-Offered to let some newbies spray themselves down with a can of mosquito repellant I found in our camping gear. They almost fell for it.
By the way, did you hear Daft Punk played in my van?

Felony, I know who punk'd us. It was an inside job I'm afraid. And I so wanted to go trash Gigsviile.

When was punk night?
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.
