Homecoming Wipeout

Homecoming week is done, and so far no toilet paper is donning our trees and bushes. Yes, in Platteville it has been the mischievious custom for high-schoolers to go out at night and throw toilet paper all over the yards of classmates and teachers.

One year a student was toilet papering THE house to get, which happened to be Bo Ryan's house. Yes, the current Badger basketball coach hated the blasted white stuff when he coached at UW-P, so much so he stayed home and guarded the house the year his son was on court and his daughter was little queen.

Anyway, this student was dressed in black, flinging rolls into the trees, when someone yelled, "Cops!" So, he ran and ducked into the back seat of a parked car---which just happened to be a cop car. Busted!

That is awesome! Always look at where you're hiding...

We went snowmanning one year... In the middle of the night we built snowmen (and a snowdragon) in our friends' yards. I just wish we could have seen their faces the next morning. No one ever asked us about that...
