You're on thin ice with that particular imp, buddy, considering from whence he came, however, evil by association is no more than a strong indicator.
For a true indictment of evil, we could talk about filling a birdbath with uncooked rice and pop rocks, and watching grackles explode in midair, but in some places in Texas that's considered just your average entertainment (and in Waco it passes for high comedy). In any case, while it is a cruel act, if one did it without malice, then one would be an idiot, but not actually evil. So we go farther afield: Designing a combination bat house and mandoline to provide himself with thin slices of bat to stick to the neighbor's picture window. It's a petty evil, though. Serving snail darter consumme to the Sierra Club? That's almost justice - if still a bit evil.
Ah-ha! Got it! There was the incident in 1987 where, moments before he was stopped and searched by the police in Lubbock, the TexasAvenger disposed of a goodly amount of high grade Peruvian marching powder in a plain metal trashcan. Whether it would have sent him to jail for 20 years must remain an open question, but Oscar the Grouch is now serving hard time. Framing a Muppet? That's just evil like the fruit of the devil.
