First things first,
For one... No this is not my house,
and secondly... No I did not do this to someone else's house.
But as I drove home from work the other day and saw this house covered in a bunch of good ol' fashion, bum wiping, toilet paper. I couldn't help but to laugh a little inside.
(Not to mention smile from ear to ear)
I mean really...
What IS IT that is so amusing about seeing SOMEONE ELSE'S HOME draped in a soft paper product used to maintain personal hygiene?
Is it the memories that come flashing back to my adolensce?
Is it the fact that someone sneakily got away with such a task?
Is it the way the toilet paper flows so beautifully from the trees?
I don't really know but it is funny as heck!
Until maybe it is YOUR house I suppose and your crazy husband goes running out of the house with random weapons to fight off the those crazy "T P" bandits.
(Which I'm SURE mine would do!)
I found these toilet papering tips on line and they seriously crack me up. Probably because I am picturing a young, nameless teenage girl with a few fun friends doing these exact things! Feel free to read and "re- live"!
1. Get lots of toilet paper. Buy your stash before dusk, as you will look pretty suspicious buying toilet paper at 10:00 at night.
2. The best kind of toilet paper to get is double rolls. It lasts much longer, so you can usually get 4 or 5 throws over a moderately sized tree, while a single cheap roll of toilet paper will only get 2 or 3 throws over a tree.
3. Pick a time. The time should be one where people are not still up and walking their dogs. Be sure to get information on how late the neighborhood usually stays up. This can be very useful, and sometimes not knowing how late to go can be very embarrassing when you show up somewhere with a bunch of bags. Don't go too late, though! If you wait too long, you will get sleepy, and possibly fall asleep, which will ruin the night!
4. Consider what time of year it is. If it is during summer, weekdays are a must, as most adults will go to bed pretty early. During the rest of the year, it is good to pick a night when you have the following day off (such as the day before Spring Break, or days during Presidents' Weekend are very good days to hit). Remember that during Summer you will have to stay up extra late, because many people wait until it is very late to go to bed. A lot of choosing where and when depends on where you live, so make smart decisions!
5. Don't freak out if you make noise when you arrive at the house. If someone sneezes, or you trip over a stick, don't worry. No one is going to get up in the middle of the night for a minor noise. They will, however, wake up and look out the window if the noise persists. So stop the noise ASAP, but don't run away.
6. Pull a long arm's width of toilet paper from the roll when you go for trees. Hold the roll like you would hold a bike handle, but vertical. Throw the roll into the tree. it should trail up and over beautifully, and plunk on the ground on the other side. Walk to the other side, and repeat as necessary. For bushes, trail the toilet paper all over them, and push wads of toilet paper deep into bushes, to make it toilet papered inside, and out.
7. Rip small pieces of toilet paper off the roll and scatter them all over the lawn. Lots and lots of small pieces are very good.
8. Make sure to throw the rolls over high branches in the trees. If you only get the lower branches, it can easily be taken down, you want your hard work to stay for a couple days.
9. Wear running shoes. If you need to run on pavement you are not going to be able to out run a person with something protecting their foot. You should train yourself prior to go time to run quietly on all surfaces. Stealth is a must when escaping someone in the dark.
Oh.... The Memories!

oh yes...I remember a few teenagers who use to enjoy planning a good toilet papering job! And I remember a few mornings waking up to toilet papering jobs that we had to clean up! The good ol' carefree days. Good times!
Toilet papering was really fun! Is it bad if you are 30 and go toilet papering? I haven't but someone should plan a night and we should all go toilet papering! That would be so fun to see grown women toilet papering!
