[QUOTE="Illiini, post: 1313918, member: 625513"] Reading "Bromley Hall" made me think of something that happened, I believe, in the spring of 1968. It was Little Sisters Weekend, and my girlfriend and I both had invited our younger female sib. It also turned out that a new pizza delivery outfit was giving away free pizzas on Saturday night for all of htose lucky enough to get in an order as a way to publicize their new service. So of course we ordered a pizza and waited for it, and waited and waited, until we had to give up and head off for the Johnny Cash concert at the Assembly Hall. The Man in Black. In the round. It was a super show, but we were famished, not getting any food until about 10:00. It didn't take long for us to find out that it was a prank. Um, actually a bad idea, guys. You used your dorm room phones. In Bromley Hall. So at odd times, whether afternoon coming home from class or in late at night, I would call to find out whether I could order a pizza. I still had the flyer, and... Usually the phone was picked up and slammed down. I'm not sure how long that went on, but finally the phone numbers were disconnected. It was then that we started talking with our friends and people in class and we discovered that Pizza Town had developed quite a following. And that's a prank, and how a prank can blow back on you. And no one used a gun, fake or otherwise. [/QUOTE]
