Where can you find true stories of eph-engineered mischief involving lobsters and beer pong? Willipedia!

Every fall, Dining Services serves an excellent Harvest Dinner, at which the most anticipated and beloved dish is surely the lobster. Though a ticket system attempts to ensure that each student can get only one lobster, in 2002 a few Deviant mischief-makers managed to collect enough from helpful friends to arrange a little tableau at the Log, where a number of noise complaints had been called in earlier that semester. Four lobsters were posed playing a hand of poker, and others were set up playing beer pong (using apple juice in the cups, so as not to break open container rules =) ). The perpetrators called in two noise complaints from public phones, using the names “Red Skelton” and “Rod Stewart.” This would have been the end of the story, except that Security looked up the name “Stewart” in the student directory and headed over to Lehman, where they woke up a very confused freshman named Robin Stewart and interrogated him until they understood that he had absolutely nothing to do with the prank.

The relatively new “Pranks” article is one of many pieces on WSO’s Willipedia that I think many of you will get a huge kick out of, and are capable of being a huge help to. Personally, I think the present list of pranks is a little weak. I’m working on getting some quality new content out of some sources (check back in about a week; you won’t be disappointed), but I have no doubt that many of you Ephbloggers have the real scoop on stories forgotten, or still celebrated but distorted by time.

If you have a WSO login, you can and should add your bit of the Williams consciousness to Willipedia. If you don’t, get one, or reminisce here and let me know if I can add it on your behalf.
