Growing up in my neighbourhood in “the Hammer”, there came a time, usually around the age of 10 or 11, when you decided you didn’t want to be looked upon as just a ‘kid’ anymore. And the only way to gain the ‘street cred’ that required was the terrifying rite of passage called, ‘Nicky-Nicky 9 Door’. Now, ‘Nicky-Nicky 9 Door’ (also referred to as – ‘Ding-Dong-Ditch’) had four fixed rules: RULE #1: It had to ‘go down’ on a Saturday night – and only after dark. (So, if your parents insisted you had to be home “when the streetlights came on” – you pretty much disqualified yourself!) RULE #2: You couldn’t rock a shortcut and knock on the screen door – it had to be the ‘real’ door! (Having to open the screen door burned precious seconds … thus, increasing the odds of getting pinched.) RULE #3: You had to knock super hard – 3 distinct times. (Ringing the doorbell, while knocking would elevate you to legendary status!) RULE #4: You couldn’t pick the house yourself – that was decided for you! (It was usually a house with a nearly rabid dog … or heaven forbid, the house everyone insisted was haunted.) I personally accomplished the task 3 days before my 11th birthday. PS: I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to Mrs. Walchuk! So, what does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role? Absolutely nothing!
