So....your saying the toilet paper used in this "toilet papering incident" was still clean and unused? That's such a waste. You're supposed to use "used" toilet paper. Gesh, you know there some people in the world who don't even have toilet paper?

I was egged driving.. Never knew until I parked in the garage.. I have the same chips but Storm hides it really well.. Only 2 inches off from hitting the clear bra..

yes, new and unused paper, those using Sears catalogs would lynch us!
Also, something I forgot. I once purchased two large containers of TIDE detergent to place in a fountain. Talk about a waste of cleaning product and money. The fountain bubbled but it was too large to really make a giant bubble mess. It was just sort of funny, but nothing spectacular.
Someone near the airport I used to fly out of managed to bubble a fountain so big that they had to close the road. It was amazing! I was going for that effect....but it didn't work.

I sold my Elise and bought a truck. It's silver, and I've washed it twice since I bought it a year back.
I can honestly tell you, it's amazing how much of a stress relief it is to NOT own the Lotus. I've been worried about my sports cars for so long that I'm protesting by not owning for a few years.

Of note, I remember that story about OFL's cars and I thought it was great. Justice for the people, by the people!

I guess there are worse things than having money thrown at you You should have asked for bills, though

The only vandalism that I did in my early mis-spent youth involved a bar of soap applied vigorously to car windows. Same effect in that it annoyed the recipient and required washing the car to remove the soap smeared on the windows, but did no permanent damage (in fact, it helped several people by actually forcing them to wash their car that may otherwise not get washed at all).
We all talked about the dog poo in the bag on the porch trick, but never actually did it.
My brother (the one that grew up to be a cop) actually participated in a block long coordinated, cherry bomb in the mailboxes trick...

Well, I guess the worst thing I did in my youth was write CSUN in script on UCLA's lawn -with my car.
A:
Ok well while I'm confessing, once we did make giant smiley faces using "ground clear" in the yard of someone who yelled at people if they walked in their grass.
Other than that, and an incident with seranwrap and boys camp toilets, I'm pretty innocent.

That's because Tide is a low-suds (is that a word?) product. It's designed NOT to fill your laundry room with suds from an agitating washing machine. Should have used regular Dawn. That stuff will make a friggin mountain of bubbles!

Not sure if I should admit this....but after the failure I went online and researched bubbling agents etc, and learned quite a lot. lol Although I haven't tried to repeat the feat. The bubbling attempts were actually with a friend of mine....the wife of another member of this board. Maybe we'll have to try again someday although I'm a little old to be explaining to an officer why I'm standing there with a bottle of dish detergent in my hands.

Gee, Onefast...you seem to be confessing a lot...sounds like quite the failed criminal career.
