There was an outbreak of shoes-thrown-over-phone-wires in my neighborhood when I was about ten, a new pair showed up every couple of days for maybe three weeks.
IIRC, the official Big Kids Who Knew Everything [tm] swore that they knew Some Kid who knew Some Other Kid who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors but right before that they heard Yet Another Kid say that he knew some kid who got killed by a drunk driver and someone threw shoes over the wire with the dead kid's name written on them. Or something like that. Stuff that makes total sense when you're ten.
