OT: RIP Mischief Night...

[Source]

I used to take a spool of black needle thread, tie it to someone's door knocker, and run the spool back to a hiding place. Then pull on the thread a few times. No matter how fast the person inside reacted, they never found anyone at their front door.

Mischief Night alive and well tonight in Lambertville. Nothing bad I can tell…just some good old fashioned TPing.

Not like the old days in Lambertville lol and that’s probably a good thing

Squirrels were going to eat that thing in a few days anyway.

Sounds good to me

Not a myth!

Absolutely not!

Picket as in Picket Fence? If so, sounds very similar to Gate Night, which is one of the names I mentioned in my OP.

Oh, I thought he was referring to Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg.

We always had the most fun egging, TPing and throwing shaving cream at/ on each other.

Damn, forgot all about the shaving cream. Yup, that was part of our arsenal!

I just egged a huge house in Piscataway and some guy came out to compliment my arm and offer a scholarship. Really took the fun out of it

the dead giveaway was the guy you’re speaking of has no interest in arm talent unless it’s raising and waving your arm as you’re about to catch a punt.
