HIGH SCHOOL PRANK DELAYS BLOODBATH

I endorse pranks, they get my thumbs up for approval. Tires over flagpoles, huge ice blocks in the way of stair cases, filling halls with cardboard boxes, giftwrapping boats, and even down to the classic "fork the lawn". Not as original some other pranks I heard of, but it gets the point across... "you've been had, motherfucker". That's why when high schoolers put their minds towards doing something productive for once, I like!:

Friday night’s highly anticipated match up between rivals Tawas and the Alcona Tigers was to determine a play-off spot for one of the two teams. The game was supposed to take place at Tawas but with the introduction of thousands of toothpicks sticking up out of the ground, and with nothing the players could do to get rid of them all, the decision was made to move the game 40 miles to Alcona’s home field. Instead of the usual 1000 fans showing up for a Tawas home game, only 150 made the trek to Alcona. This aside, Tawas beat Alcona 49-0.

Bravo Alcona, *twirls long mustache* well played. Pulling off a prank that would force a school to head back to your home field, very nice. But is that what really happened? According to those meddling kids at Tawas, they believe that it was Oscoda High that did the dastardly deed (Zoinks Scoob!). A few weeks ago, Tawas gave Oscoda their worse loss in school history, winning 72-0.

I never heard of Tooth Picking before, but it brings a smile to my face. The idea does sound painful, as you can see by the illustration (sweet Photoshop skillz, I know).

Anyways, the moral to this story is: high school pranks are fun and when used in sports, can be quite effective. Also, Michigan High Schools have very confusing names.
