Toileteers Take To Streets On Halloween
The Treacherous Toileteers are disease of, boredom the * - _ w**
coming! There’s no escaping
their path of destruction! Eggs
oozing down screen doors, white
creamy streams flowing down
car windows, and white
streamers engulfing trees and
shrubs, even entire houses. It’s
. . . it’s . . . HALLOWEEN
NIGHT!
Ah! Halloween night. The
Treacherous Toileteers have
taken to the streets. Any person
passing by in a car can easily
identify them . . . toilet paper
bulges from beneath trench
coats, shaving cream spurts from
tight French jeans, and eggs drip
from beneath toboggans. While
all of this is taking place, the
Treacherous Toileteers are
fleeing from the scene of the
crime. They thrust towards
safety in nearby woods and
bushes leaving old women
cowering in their support hose.
Wait a minute! Who are these
people and what in ?&!!! are they
doing? You know who they are —
the teenagers next door, the kids
that are too old to be mas
querading around in witch
and vampire costumes but too
young to be sitting idly in a living
room waiting to give out treats.
Unless, of course, they get their
thrills handing out hash brownies
and razor blade apples.
What are they doing? Well,
they’re just having their own kind
of Halloween fun and thrills
(sometimes cheap). It’s all part
of a tradition, rolling yards of
friends and enemies, egging
virtual unknowns, decorating
parked cars, and bursting jack-o-
lantems.
Nothing quite surpasses this
eventful night. Everywhere
anyone can see gangs roaming
the streets or hanging out of
trucks and cars looking for their
next victims of vandalism. Of
course everyone knows why they
do this. I mean it’s hard to believe
that the pace of metropolitan
Albemarle gets any slower, but
most normal residents notice that
it does around this time of the
year. In order to remedy this
Treacherous Toileteers gather
supplies of eggs and toilet paper
for the big night.
This hording of supplies usually
starts a week to a week and a half
before the 31st. Rolls and rolls of
economy pack “facility use
paper” are bought and stuffed
under beds, in car trunks, tool
sheds or simply stacked up in
rooms forming walls that could
compare to the Great Wall of
China. If people are in a financial
bind, they simply swipe rolls
from public facilities leaving
“the next person in line” stuck
with their pants down. But this is
wrong as the paper is third rate.
The old school brand, as we all
know, rubs everyone (even trees)
the wrong way.
For toting the supplies all over
town without being discovered,
fun-lovers must be properly at
tired. Large bulky sweaters or
coats hide some rolls but some
one ought to wear hip boots or
“waders” to stuff rolls in. Large
pockets hold a sufficient amount
of shaving cream cans but over
sized pants could hold more. No
one could possibly run from the
cops like this, so a car is a must.
Some techniques of camouflage
could help also. Since Halloween
night is known for bizarre sight
ings, go ahead and play the part.
Simply attach bush or tree limbs
to clothing to fit in with the
scenario. Put black shoe polish on
the face and hands for the “black
face” effect. If you already have
one, well you’re one step ahead of
the rest of the gang.
These have just been some
helpful hints but if you really get
in a bind with the police, there
are three commonly used ex
cuses to get out of trouble: (1)
plead the fifth amendment and
don’t say a thing, (2) plead tem
porary insanity, or (3) if really
desperate, use the amnesia ex
cuse, “Whatyard?”, “What toilet
paper?”
Well, good luck on your Hallo
ween excursions and remember
to keep your trench coats closed
and the toilet paper out of sight.

Movie Goers Inherit "The Legacy"
Now that Halloween has
arrived the movie theaters are
coming out with an extra amount
of spine-chilling movies. Some of
the movies are a bit too scary and
don’t have much effect on the
audience; some are even laugh
able. Fortunately, a few of these
movies fit the criteria of a true
horror movie.
Of all the movies coming out
this month “The Legacy” ap
pears as the best choice. It
evolves around a couple por
trayed by Katherine Ross and
Sam Elliot who' are indirectly
called by a dying millionaire to
come to his English mansion.
Another of the characters is
played by a very amusing Roger
Daltry of the rock group “The
Who”. The millionaire dispenses
favors to six people each having
done a criminal act earlier in
their lives. The devil, however,
gets repaid in the end. Their
debts are paid with their own
lives, and each death is either
very bloody or bizarre.
Although most of the movie is
smooth and continuous, it has a
slightly slow beginning. Parts of
the movie are unbelievable at
times, but they seem more
realistic than other movies that
are meant to startle the audience.
Because “The Legacy” deals
with the occult, it seems more
strange than gory, although it
does have its bloody scenes. The
plot is easy to understand, and
the ending is completely dif-

ferent. The fact that the devil re
mains unharmed makes the end
ing quite disturbing and ironic.
This, of course, adds to the effect
of the movie and leaves the
audience spell bound.
Overall, “The Legacy” is the
best bet for those of you who like
to test your nerves. The acting is
good, the plot is easy to under
stand, and it stays with the mean
ing of “spine-chilling”. “The
Legacy” should come through as
good entertainment for Hallo
ween.
