You'd roam around town throwing eggs at the houses of old cranky guys, or leave paper bags full of dog doo on their porches, set them on fire and ring the door bell, or wrap toilet paper around their shrubs. Of course, my Mom would never let me go out, but we'd always be in awe of the work that had been acomplished at this house or that as we walked to school the next day. In other parts of Jersey I think they called it Goosy Night...but outside of Jersey, they haven't a clue what I'm talking about. Does it still go on? Your comments about the move on Halloween made me remember it. Forgive me Jeff...I'm old...this is an example of a simple brainfart. Cheers!
