| Idle curiosity on my part. Traditionally, the night before Halloween is when the local punks run around their neighborhoods hanging toilet paper on trees, throwing eggs, causing random acts of vandalism, yadda yadda yadda. Never partook in these activities myself (my parents woulda kicked my ass if I got arrested for such nonsense when I was a kid) but this holiday-before-the-holiday is known by numerous names depending on what part of the country you're in. For some reason here in Northern New Jersey it's always been called "Cabbage Night" (which I have never understood, since as far as I know there is no connection whatsoever with cabbages) but it's also known as "Devil's Night," "Goosey Night," "Mischief Night," and probably a few other names for all I know. So what do you call it?

| We've always called it Mischief Night 'round these parts. I did my share of mischeivin' in my youth, but I think the whole tradition has sorta died. I haven't seen any soaped up car windows or TP'ed houses in years. I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying that. If I come out tomorrow with toilet paper streaming down my house, I'm blaming you, Freddy.

| Mischief Night is what we've always called it. But much like MG said, I havent seen much of it in years, maybe the occasional soaped window, or an egged house. But I havent seen anyone ballsy enough to stick an M-80 in a mailbox since I was a kid. |

| Mischief Night. Its basically young kids trying to get all the old people worked up by ringing their doorbells and running away... How pathetic kids are nowadays. WE used to do a lot better stuff that shall not be mentioned here.. _________________  |

| Huh....I've never called it anything. Didn't know people did. Seeing as Halloween is and Eve itself, seems weird that it would have an Eve. (I mean, every day technicallly has and "eve", but I think you understand). Fascinating.

| Oh, it just reminded me of something we did as kids. It needs prefacing.... There's a trailer park sub culture. I grew up in a rural trailer park which is a sub-sub culture. During the harvest season in the mid-West most of the corn growing is hog corn. We had some corn fields adjecent to our trailer park. We'd go and pick some, shuck the hardened corn, put in a bags or pockets and wait for deep night. We go out and after people were asleep we'd walk up and down the trailer park throwing handfuls of this hog corn kernels on the roof/sides of trailers. Anyone who's ever lived in a trailer knows what it sounds like raining. Magnify this x10 for the corn. It would scare people to death. Great fun! This is how we passed harvest evenings in the T.P. baby!! We called it corning. _________________ I'm warning you. I'll be forced to Thrash you! |

I remember doing that as a kid. Throwing handfuls of un-popped popcorn kernels at the door, then running away. Not really sure what the point was, but it seemed like fun when you're 10.
