Let the good times roll TP the night away AH is dark—and then, seem¬ ingly from nowhere—a single streak of white interrupts the night. Another flash of white cuts the darkness and soon the evening is striped with flowing streamers of glaring white toilet paper. This strange phenomenon can occur almost anytime, pro¬ vided it is dark outside and not raining. Other desirable condi¬ tions include: the victim ' s house seems unoccupied, there are no wide-eyed faces peeking out windows of neighboring houses, and no policemen patrolling the area. Large dogs and other un¬ suspected and unfamiliar noises can also be problems. Nevertheless, TPing has be¬ come a favorite pastime of many. Some have mastered the art to the extent of using color- coordinated and patterned tis¬ sue to create spectacular sights, while others rely on a few rolls of stiff white paper stolen from the corner gas station to pro¬ duce their works. Some even employ innovative use of plastic wrappings and empty rolls to add a special touch to their jobs. Techniques vary from artist to artist. Some TP conservative¬ ly, carefully draping each turn of the roll limb to limb. Others are more liberal, haphazardly winging rolls into the highest branches of trees. Some shyly TP only those trees on the out¬ ermost edges of the yard and some daringly go for the more difficult places, shrubs under the windows and plants on the porch. Psychologists have not yet been able to cite reasons for TPer behavior. One theory is that they want to show appre¬ ciation to a friend. On the other hand, they may be motivated by feelings of utter disgust for their victims. But perhaps it is just the inborn nature of man ' s de¬ sire to use toilet paper in unor¬ thodox ways. As the night unrolls, this tree will gradually be all wrapped up Snowy strips of TP hang from t he branches, but there ' s always room for more. 14 TP the night away
