Leighton - 2004-02-21 15:45:52 hmm...I don't know if a MI Devil's Night story would get that far...maybe it's just a snowbird, or sandbird, or prairiebird, or something.* * * * * * * * * * * * Hillary - 2004-02-23 12:17:20 Cabbage Night? Looks like New Englanders smear windows with cabbage stumps. How nasty can that be?* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-02-23 19:27:55 A quick Google reveals that you're exactly right, Hillary: "rotten heads of that vegetable once were the missiles of choice for vandals." Lovely. As if cabbage, my least favorite vegetable (although I like its sister, Brussels sprouts), weren't bad-enough-smelling already. And Google pulled up tons of stories from all over New England, from Boston to Vermont--so the term seems pretty wide-spread in the New England area in general.* * * * * * * * * * * * Hillary - 2004-02-24 07:41:50 That makes much more sense. The description I read was, "In some parts of New England Halloween is called 'Cabbage Night', from the pranksters who once roamed the countryside with cabbage stumps which they used to smear windows with." No mention of rotting cabbage. I was trying to figure out where teenagers would get cabbage stumps and why they wouldn't use the whole cabbage to break things instead.* * * * * * * * * * * * update-live - 2004-09-04 21:58:58 update live* * * * * * * * * * * * PENETRATION-PENETRATION - 2004-10-03 08:23:32 PENETRATION PENETRATION* * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: |
