Suggestion

Can someone add a comment about the effective removal of the toilet paper from the roof? Or must one wait for Nature to degrade the paper and rain to run it off? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ksoileau (talkcontribs) 13:02, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

I think this is a pretty well known fact. Roxanne Edits 23:45, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had never heard of it being only homecoming night

Motivation

More often than not, when houses in my neighborhood were toilet papered (when I was growing up) it was strictly vandalism and almost always accompanied egging and creaming.

I don't know about this "rite of passage" thing. --angrykeyboarder (a/k/a:Scott) 08:54, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency

The text says that TPing is a crime in Texas but the later list states TPing is legal in Texas. Someone who knows the gen should delete the incorrect bit. Also, the link to "creaming" leads to an article about cooking. 172.168.79.132 00:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)RKH[reply]

Sounds like someone's wishful thinking - TP'ing a house would be prosecuted as a criminal mischief. 99.58.116.217 (talk) 00:21, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Black Friday?

I don't get the referencer to Black Friday. The major use of this expression is for the Friday following Thanksgiving in the US, commonly held to be the start of the Christmas shopping season. Why anyone would choose this day to TP someone's house is beyond me. Wschart (talk) 21:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am also puzzled by the reference to Black Friday, especially the mention of bowling. I can find no Black Friday bowling tradition anywhere on the Internet.--Jmjanzen (talk) 14:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article improvements

Article could use a photo (but please don't do any TP'ing to get one) and citations. I also think the article could use some re-writing to "de-US" it.

But does it happen outwith the US? 217.44.96.195 (talk) 08:24, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
