Re:yard rolling - 2007/08/24 00:49
Jackie,
My Junior year I rolled a football player's yard the night before the game. (You were a Senior cheerleader at that same time!) My Mama REFUSED to be a part of it by buying toilet paper or letting us take some from our house.
For about a week, my friends and I went around to all of the fast food restaurants and gas stations and took all the toilet paper we could get our hands on. (We were nice enough to leave the one on the dispenser!) We also "hit" any other place that had bathrooms available to the public. That old '76 "Shamrock green" Dodge Dart Special Edition that I drove was STUFFED with rolls of TP!!
It was just me and one other girl that finally did the deed. We went to roll the guy's yard and it was like 40 below zero outside! We were out there for EVER! His parent came out and caught us in the act, but they were cool about it. They actually even brought us some hot chocolate!
When we finally got home we counted the empty TP tubes that we had. There were 189!!!! (And we didn't start saving them until we had already been at it for a few minutes!) We "guesstimated" that we had used around 200 rolls of TP.
It was maybe the best "roll job" in the history of SHS! There was even a picture of it in the Tucker Neighbor Newspaper!

OK I am fessing up big time on this one.
I used to go to Rehoboth Baptist Church on friday afternoon (when all the staff was basically gone) and steal all the toilet paper from all the bathrooms and use that to roll houses. They had a lot of bathrooms and no one replaced them by Sunday morning.
Can you spare a square? Anyone know where that line came from?
The worst thing was leaving my gym bag with my name on it in the front yard .... Im an idiot.

Re:yard rolling - 2007/08/24 12:18
We had our yard rolled more times than I can count.
A fact that made my Father, absolutely crazy.
Seeing how, he was already psychotic, not a pretty sight.
Remember rutting the lawn with the cars?
Well, my dad decided, that, was just too much.
So he planted spike strips.
I am pretty sure, that was the last lawn treatment we ever got.
Mind you, I am pretty sure all that was in retribution for my sisters'- Terry Pelowskis', lawn parties.
I remember some trouble she was in about soaping the Shamrock Lawn?
Anyone remember that?
I was still in Idelwood, so I am sketchy about the details.

Great story Susie! You have me beat! My older brother, Gary ('72) was a spirit booster and our yard got rolled EVERY weekend one year! My parents got so irritated over it, Gary decided to start keeping watch over the yard.
One night, he came in laughing - Whoever was out there rolling the yard got caught red handed. He made them give us the extra un-used TP. As it turns out, it was a case of 96 rolls, and they had only used two! Do you know how long it takes a family to use 94 rolls of TP? I don't think my mother had to purchase that product for YEARS! SO . . . . does anyone fess up to "losing" 96 rolls of paper?

I suppose you're not supposed to paper your own house so maybe this is a case of "people not clear on the concept" but I remember the cross country team thoroughly papering our own dressing room one year. I don't know how many people saw the actual result but there was a wonderful photo layout in the yearbook (I think it was 76 give or take a year).

We use to roll our friends house for their birthday. We were dumb enough to let the parents know we were doing it in most cases.
One year, we rolled Mike Lefevre's yard. His Dad knew we were doing it. They had company too. Mike's aunt, uncle and cousins were over. It was Diane, Dale and Rita Medford, Amey Henderson, Tommy Fendley, Sharon, Greg and I.
I was 16 and Amey Henderson lived across the street with a bunch of trees in her yard. When we finished (keep in mind we were hiding as people walked past the very open windows in the livingroom!), we placed a call to the Lefevre's house telling them there were people in their yard.
Well the end result was my dad's jag was parked in the road in front of the Henderson's house and about 30 feet from it was a light pole. Somehow some rope showed up and tied up to the light pole was ME! Yes, Tommy Fendley, Mr. Lefevre, my own brother and sister tied me up to the light pole. Here comes a car...they all go hide behind all the trees in Amey's yard and left me out there.
I can not remember who the other guy was in the car, but Mike Richardson was the other. They stop the car, get out and ask me if I needed help. I was laughing so hard and shaking my head no. This whole time, their car was still moving as they stopped just on top of a small hill. So they were last seen running toward the car chasing it down the hill!
I finally convienced Tommy to untie me. MY HERO!

I can't resist this one. In 9th grade (1975, 76?) seven of us girls rolled 7 houses in one night. My mom was the only "cool" mom who thought this was funny, so we had a slumber party at my house and she drove us around.
We bought about 10 economy packs of TP at the old Walgreen's at North Dekalb mall...the store with the soda fountain off to the side. Remember that?
I won't implicate all the culprits (except myself) but I remember some of the victims...
Mike Bennett and Marty Vet (convenient--they lived across the street from each other)
Mike Griggs and Jimmy Fleming (we girls were in a Basketball phase)
Randy Dalbey
There were two others...if any of my partners in crime is on these boards, maybe you can help me out?

Umm well uhh...I guess I was in on the fire extinguisher thing...we had a couple of them for a while that were actually "borrowed" from Shamrock. Sometimes we'd follow a school bus around in the afternoon and.....oh never mind....
I was never involved in any mooning though, so hopefully MY hiney was not that recognizable...
