It's Halloween, so a good time to ask.

I wouldn't think of rolling someone's yard!
Car? Well, the statute of limitations has run on my junior high English teacher's Chevette now, right?

If it was Virginia, the statute of limitations HAS run, under Va.Code section 19.2-8, so whoever might have been involved in the rolling of _____________'s Chevette in 1979 in the Cradock section of Ptown is home free. (That would include the homeroom teacher, whose idea it was.)
Just sayin'.

With others involved in the planning I think there might be a conspiracy case here....lawgrad91 wrote:Hey, I didn't admit to anything.EarlJam wrote:No. And I am going to TELL!lawgrad91 wrote:I wouldn't think of rolling someone's yard!

Re: Have you ever participated in rolling someone's yard?
In Virginia, there is no conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor, only a felony, except for trespassing and larceny, and since the hypothetical Chevette was on the side of the road within the purview of the Department of Transportation, trespassing wouldn't work either.Jesus_hurley wrote:With others involved in the planning I think there might be a conspiracy case here....lawgrad91 wrote: Hey, I didn't admit to anything.

BTW, EJ, hypothetically speaking, cheap toilet paper works better than expensive toilet paper for a task such as this. The soft stuff falls apart too easily and separates at the perforations, unlike the TP at the courthouse.

Re: Have you ever participated in rolling someone's yard?
Not the latter, and since EJ doesn't think the statute of limitations has run on the former, I have no comment as to that.OZZIE4DUKE wrote:Ahh! The voice of experience! or is it morelawgrad91 wrote:

The late, local director of the YMCA (poor fella) would wake up on the morning after every Halloween to see the mess.
It got to the point of being so expected that he, in his last few years, would pack up and spend the night out of town.

Some folks call it 'Scott's'.
I guess one could replace Wayne with Eastwood.

My yard used to get rolled all the time in high school.

Re: Have you ever participated in rolling someone's yard?
Probably a compliment. Usually would happen to the more popular students. We used to shoot bottle rockets at one of our peers houses. The bottle rockets would go off, land against the house and explode. We would then yell, "Damn you Darrin!" at the top of our lungs then put the pedel to the metal, burn rubber and get out of dodge. Just thankful his house never caught on fire.CathyCA wrote:My yard used to get rolled all the time in high school.

I assume that this is the same as what we always called "teepeeing"? I was trying to figure out what you meant at first.

Re: Have you ever participated in rolling someone's yard?
That's what we used to call it, too. The first time I ever heard anyone say, "Man, we rolled Kenny's car last night," it took me a minute to realize they weren't talking about a wreck.bjornolf wrote:I assume that this is the same as what we always called "teepeeing"?

The rolling may have been intended for my brother, then. He was the president of his class. We never knew who did it, but we know who had to clean it up.EarlJam wrote:Probably a compliment.

Oh, I wouldn't say that, Cathy. Where I came from, it was more common for guys to T.P. the houses of hot girls.CathyCA wrote:The rolling may have been intended for my brother, then.
