When we were kids growing up in Detroit, the night before Halloween was called Devil's Night. Back in the 60s it was a night for fun and pranks. Anyway, we used to get one of those brown paper grocery bags and go around gathering olbermann from the lawns and alleyways around town. We'd fill the bags full of olberman, set 'em on someone's front porch, set 'em on fire, and ring the doorbell. Some poor guy would come out, see the fire, then start stomping on the olberman, invariably getting his shoes all covered with the stuff.

LOL! I must admit....I lit a few of those olbermann filled bags myself, also decorated a few trees with olbermann paper in my youth.
