Harold in space #56 says we should fight fire with fire, or more exactly, slingshot with slingshot. Harold is the slingshot expert here at Tinbox Acres, in case you don't recall. He says we ought to saw that old telephone pole in half that's been laying down by the duckpond since forever. Edgar the maintenance guy's got a humongous post-hole digger. We could dig great big holes in the ground and stick the telephone pole halves into them just far enough apart to make a perfect huge slingshot. Instead of just stretching one truck innertube between the poles, we could use two, and sew a pouch in the middle. It would lob bigger and heavier ammo, which would get up a lot higher, maximizing impact.

Darrell Feral says the biggest lesson he's learned so far is you don't escape from a minimum security facility, or you'll get sent to maximum security boot camp. In minimum security Juvie, for instance, the kids are just forced to act like domesticated humans. In maximum security Juvie, you're left out in the middle of nowhere at a boot camp facility where you're dragged out of bed early  and forced to do real actual work. In addition, the exercise regime is brutal, and it beefs up the monstrous, hairy, tattooed sasquatches who use you as a punching bag every time the warden ain't looking. Darrell suspects this principle applies to adult detention facilities, also.

Dot in space #8 tells us that old bedsheets have many household uses. They make way nicer window coverings than aluminum foil does. Also, you can use a old bedsheet for a tablecloth. For cosmetic purposes, tear strips from a old bedsheet and use the strips to smash over the wax on your upper lip. This gives a good grip so's you can yank your mustache out by the roots in one fell swoop.
