    Historically, some common forms of mischief (do not try these at home – yours or anyone else’s – LOL) on this Special Day/Night have included:

    Soaping windows
    Egging houses and cars
    Tossing a few rotten tomatoes
    Toilet papering house trees, etc.
    Knocking on doors, then running away

    Thought I would pop into the Cafe and see what is going on before I head for bed.
    Aha, so this is what the Cafe looks like just after opening, chef kitties and busy doing the kitchen prep and other kitties are busy making sure everything is shipshape and perfect for us all to visit.
    Loving the pics, I do love the kitty with the bird house the best, talk about guilty.
    KJ, Halloween is new over here so please what is soaping windows? The others I know about(American movies).
    Deb, interesting about the things food banks need but don’t ask for. I must check if there are things they need but don’t ask for here.
    Nighty night all, see you on the flip side, have a great morning while I am sleeping.

    Well MS glad to see that the kits are not lazing about as we in Northern Hem attempt sleep. And since you ask, while you are off in dreamland I did the research and here’s what I found out about soaping windows:

    Q: “I’ve read a few places and have seen on TV where kids rub a bar of soap on peoples windows as a prank for Halloween. Does the soap do something, or is it just hard to wash off? I guess I’m missing the point?

    A: Its just a prank, goes way back to Victorian times. It makes the windows cloudy and hard to see through. Its really old school tagging, but less permanent than spray paint.

    I’ve heard that pranks are also perpetrated on homes where treats are not doled out on H’ween. I feel certain that no TDKer’s would ever have been involved in such illicit activities, but if anyone has more info, do tell! 😉

    BTW I don’t do H’Ween either, but my n’hood is decked out to the max and interesting to see how creative some peeps can get, evidenced by the following pic as originally posted in our Boo-tique! Think Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, entire bannister festooned with perching ravens (out of camera range). Yup!

    Good Morning KJ & Deb, nighty-night MS. Oh those mischievous kitties!
    As kids, we would go out on “Goosey Night”, but we didn’t do damage, just a bit of mischief. Like put piles of leaves in the street (which wasn’t the thoroughfare it is today) and put shaving cream on signs. Never soaped up windows or tossed eggs. Where I live now there used to be a supervised “TP” event at the entrance to the community – lots of bath tissue in trees and bushes. The “supervised” part was, I suspect, parents actually reliving their glory days! Being that tp is biodegradable it was never frowned upon as far as I know.
    On a sad note, I saw a kitty on the side of the road while heading down the mountain. There was a man standing by him/her, apparently texting. I’m guessing it was his family’s cat. I named him/her after the road, and will sponsor a bright white bulb for “Glenwild”.
    🙁

    In and out quickly today, I even posted yesterday, but it never showed up, hmmmmmm! Maybe it was a Halloween trick! Will be taking the granddaughters trick or treating, and as youngest daughter and I LOVE Halloween, little Avery has a costume too, as a little monster!! My oldest daughter doesn’t get into it as much as my youngest one does, and we always try and make her stay back and pass out candy (LOL) because she gets mad when something scares her, and we try to do that as much as possible….. 😈 There was a real person laying in the spider web covered shrubs one year (dressed like a ghoul) and when she went up the steps he got up and moaned…..needless to say we all loved it and laughed but she was way mad and copped an attitude. LOL, for pete’s sakes, it’s HALLOWEEN!!!
    Anyway, hope all have a fun day filled with yummy candy and chocolate!
    Joan, so sad about the kitty on the roadside–wish all kitties could be safe and away from roads and streets.

    Joan,
    So sad! 🙁 RIP Glenwild kitty, now roaming the Meadow and being welcomed by all our kitties who now reside there.
    Re the “18 Wierd Habits …” OK, I’ll ‘fess up to a goodly number of them – including burying my face in Dorry’s soft fur, and at times crying in it too.

    Just caught up on cafe happenings I’ve missed. Cutest theme and photos today. The toilet paper one reminds me of a funny. Recently I was using my Dyson attachment arm to vacuum the floor space between the toilet and the wall…tight space. I lifted it a bit to get it out and before I knew it my Dyson was unrolling/devouring the roll of toilet paper hanging on the wall. It was one of those moments where you freeze, not believing your eyes. Thankfully I unfroze and turned off the vacuum pretty quickly.

    Good to see you all! Hope buttons checks in and tells us how her hand is doing.

    Wishing all a good rest of the day!

    Hi all – oh my ECB, that must have been something, those slow-mo moments.

    Good morning all, it’s a bleak grey cool day here with possible showers and HRH has already headed out after breakfast and a brushing to find a sleeping patch that is sheltered from the wind and rain.
    Oh my! ECB, the loo paper roll being devoured had me laughing.
    Interesting stories on tp bombing and Halloween antics.
