You guys were such amateurs... the pros use minivans for mailbox baseball!
They're also best for eggings - everybody piles out, everybody piles in and we're off, with military precision. When I was 14, myself and five friends (who were often up to teenage mischief at the time) got together to egg this grumpy guy who lived down the street from one of the group. Like you, we were way out in the country. We had often egged him in the past. However, it seems that, this time, he was ready for us. With a shotgun. He didn't shoot us, or even at us, but he did shoot into the air.
Needless to say, we left.
Fast.
I don't doubt that he laughed himself to sleep on that night, what with the tripping, the falling, and the evident 'pants filling' that went on as we scrambled back into the van. So much for teenage bravado! :lol:
Being stupid teenagers, it wasn't the last time that we egged someone's house (or a school, for that matter), but it was the last time that we egged that guy.
Doc, you sure you're not Canadian? :D

But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
