Down in Cherokee County, there were always tons of rolled yards. We never really knew who did the rolling, but everyone got hit at some point or the other. We didn't know many people, but even our trees in our front yard got rolled 2 or 3 times. I think the young people just randomly chose places, whether they knew people there or not. Even friends did it to friends. An easy way to get a lot of it out of a tree was to just take a hose pipe and spray most of it out. What's left would dry and be gone within a day or two.
In Christmas 1987, our youth group rolled the preacher's yard. We'd had a party either at the church or at someone's house in Centre and two of the members of our youth group went to the preacher's house and distracted him by offering him refreshments from the party while several others were rolling his yard. :-)
We never really had problems with eggers. One of our cars got hit with an egg once on Halloween, but we were able to wash it off. Eggs make a big mess. It takes serious work to get egg out of any type of clothing that has any thickness at all. In high school, it was fairly common for people to try to hit each other with eggs at parties. One girl invited me to a party once and told me I'd get egged and spray-painted if I went (as if that were a good thing :-) ). Of course, in 1983, what else was there for people to do?
I've been able to dodge eggings and TP'ing through the year. I only rolled a house once in high school. A friend of mine stockpiled toilet paper in his boxsprings for months.
