First, I figured that my response would be cleared up quick, and it was. Second, I am surprised that more people haven’t picked Houdini as a person associated with Halloween. Third, Where the hell are you people from that egging a house is a ‘trick’?

What is worse egging or toilet paper?

Egging is definitely worse! It peels paint. Some of the “bad” kids did it when I was young. All we ever did was “roll” houses - and not at Halloween. It was usually a birthday present! 😛

Well, there are a lot of other ones going on right now…there was a politics and a religion one, and I think a Harry Potter one.

I’m still keen on them, though.

I chose tping because I felt it would be a popular answer. However, I am right enamored of the classic flamin’ bag of doggy poo. 😃

Thanks so much for doing this Dolores (especially the time constraints – you rock!)!!! It was a ton of fun and I’m shocked, _shocked!_ I tell you, that I sucked at my very own feud. 😛

I appreciate everyone playing and congratulations to **3acresandatruck**. Being out in the country must enhance one’s enjoyment of Halloween! 😃😃

Wow - third, and I don’t even do Halloween!

(It scares me religiously to wonder how well I’d do on an X-Mas themed Feud. I can probably name more of the true eight reindeer than most Americans, and I wouldn’t make the mistake of saying “Rudolph.”)
