ain`t that the truth ..if kids had to go into a store on Gate Night and buy the eggs they would be about as embarrassed as if they were going to buy condoms

I hope my car doesn`t get egged. But you never know with drunk college kids.

Uh oh! Do we have a retired egger in our midst?

I never egged but there are a few things I did I`m not too proud of.

I knew this kid that lived in my neighborhood when I was growing up. He was gonna egg cars while driving. While he was driving, he had an egg in his hand and was rolling down the windw when a car cut me off

. He had to pitch the egg and it hit inside his window.

That sucks man,....

Not sure about this year, but on some previous years the grocery stores had "restricted" sales of eggs. No more than a dozen per person and only if they were adult. I think this may have been discontinued as discriminatory. (and I think some people had a few cases "fermenting" for a few weeks before anyway.)

What? I can`t get more than 10 DZ eggs for Halloween this yr!

Gate night? Is this some event prior to Halloween? We do not have any specific mischief prior to Halloween.

Gate Night, Devil`s Night and Mischief Night are pretty much the same thing.

Gate Night is the night previous to Halloween ...from my understanding (not pure fact) that the gates of hell are opened at midnight for a short period and chaos rules...typically growing up there were a few different types of mischief ...egg throwing , TPing houses and trees, and one of my favorites was ring and run (door bells)
