BE EXREMELY CAREFUL OF EGGS THIS HALLOWEEN

I have a young neice who attends the local junior high in this neighborhood. She is staying home from school on Halloween because there is a RUMOR going around her school that some of the boys and/or girls are going to extract the egg from the shell and fill it with NAIR hair removal. My neice's mother has notified the school about this and also we have notified the precinct. I was told if we see any children purchasing, holding or throwing eggs we are to call the precinct right away. I know most of the parents are finding out about this today and, like my niece's mom, will be demanding heavier police presence in the neighborhood. I will keep all of you informed if and when I learn more.

When I was in Junior High we'd talkabout doing stuff like that but never did becasue the fact is nair costs money and the chance of getting a direct hit on the head is actually pretty low. But it gets the girls all uppity. I wouldnt worry about it.

Does anyone from the area remember the Packer/St Annes/PS 8 shaving cream fights when school let out, it mostly went down on garden place.

Locally, the place for shaving cream fights is PS 321 on 7'th Avenue. Head over there about 9 o'clock on Halloween and enjoy.

Yes, I used to catch the ps8 bus on the corner of hicks and joroleman (sp). I also remember garden place being good for trick or treating.

Kids get a lot of mileage out of these rumors around Halloween. It used to be one of the emptiest days of the year at school!

One time I tried to blow the contents of some eggs out to decorate fabulous easter eggs a la Martha. It was wicked hard. I gave up before I had a stroke. If a bunch of punk ass kids could do it, I would be very impressed.

Ha! Me too (It was very disappointing)

Holy crap, this old chestnut is still going around? I heard it when I was in middle school in the 80s.

I hope no one flashes their headlights at oncoming cars whose lights are off - it's a gang initiation and they'll kill you!

Dont eat Pop Rocks and drink Coke at the same time either, Mike from the cereal commercial DIED from doing that.

i actually think i attempted to bring out some nair on halloween back when i was a punk kid- doesn't really do much if you just get a little bit on your head, as it is, you kinda need to really rub it in there... I wouldn't worry too much about nair filled eggs, this is one of those things kids always plan on halloween and never ever have the wherewithal to go through with, like urine filled water balloons. Incidentally, it's impossible to pee with enough pressure to fill up a water balloon, and the guy you convince to try to do it always ends up covered with his own pee.

Even if they do have the funds and wherewithal to fill eggs with Nair, don't worry about hair loss--you have to leave Nair on for a while, at the root of the hair, for it to work. I think most women know this, which is why only men (and not even very many of them) find Nair bottle <--> shampoo switching stories amusing.

Watch out for razors in apples, guys. Also, I heard some dude is replacing fun size candies with poop!

I agree this has been circulated but I post this because when I was in IS 293 in 1980 I was hit with an egg with Nair - no my hair did not fall out but I was hopitalized overnight because it got in my eye so I dont make light of rumors that have actually happened before

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Nair is pretty toxic so I guess it would really hurt if you got it in your eye. Blech.

Somehow I've lived in Brooklyn for years and never had anyone mess with me on Halloween. Am I that intimidating?

Totally. You look like you can crush people with your bare hands. :twisted:

Oh, man. Now I am totally going to convince someone to try to do this.

Maybe it has to do with those big knitting needles you carry

I think I read something a while back about catty supermodels giving nair to other girls as a hair conditioner - can't recall exactly

Nair attacks existed, but I don't think anyone blew the contents of the eggs out.

When I was a kid, the gangs (and I just mean groups of bullies; not crips or bloods) would wear gloves, dab some nair on the egg and then toss it. Better yet, if they could get their hands on sponges they would cover it with shaving cream and Nair and lob that at people as well. Stores in the neighborhood who knew it was happening would get someone to lock up the store, or stand up front and keep the kids out. It worked sometimes. But sometimes it backfired and the store itself would be the target of the same kids.

Halloween in Brooklyn is not a pretty sight at all.

But I'm all for kicking in some pumpkins. Screw pumpkins! What have they ever done for me!

Well, I saw a couple of lil bastards hiding their eggs in Grand Army Plaza up in the bushes. That'll be long enough for them to be good and stinky. I plan a little mission to retrieve them tonight. I'm thinking about hard boiling them and putting them back.

Rule No. One: Don't fuck with a fucker!

It's "Mikey" not "Mike" ... :twisted:

I'll be ready with a pocket full of frozen eggs this year

That would be awesome... Unless I got hit with one. At least you should switch the eggs in the cartons with circular peace signs or something even more incipient.

I went to PS 30, JHS51 and John jay, throwing eggs for Halloween is innocent fun, you people are making your kids into wimps!! what next??Will you send your kid to school with a helmet, knee and elbowpads, full body armor, let kids be kids!!

Bullshit. You can fill a balloon with any liquid (I've done maple syrup, wesson, and bleach among others back in the day). Fill a bottle with the liquid, blow the balloon up with air, put the balloon opening around the mouth of the bottle and turn the whole thing over.

But have you done it with pee? Those are containers that do not expand/contract, your bladder is a bit different? I dont know, I'm just throwing it out there.

I am sorry but having your clothes and hair smeared with raw egg is not fun! It is nasty.

Nair smells like ass. No one would mistake it for shampoo. Except maybe a supermodel missing a few chromosones.

Eggs are NOT that innocent. Yes they are more innocent than, say, knives or something, but they can ruin your property, not to mention HURT when whipped with sufficient force. I get murderously angry about bullying, and that's what egg-throwing is. :x
