Is that a religion or a fraternity?…..

Too bad Skylar can’t summon his great-great-great…grand uncle, Mr. T-Rex, to take care of the bully-saurus!

Start taking ex-lax chocolate chip cookies in your lunch.

Lived in the country in 4th grade. Farms, highway, school bus, long rides. There was a really mean school bully. On the school bus we all collaborated for revenge. One of the kids’ parent had slaughtered a hog. The kid saved the worst part of the back-end, just under the hog’s tail and it had the “hole”. The piece was like a slice of ham. Someone snuck the bully’s lunch bag from under his seat. We passed it back from seat to seat. No-one said a word. The hog’s posterior “cold cut” was placed in the bully’s second sandwich. We all kept our silence. Lunch was a fun moment…..

That happened 72 years ago, but I just can’t keep it a secret any more.

That seems like it should be more difficult, with Skyler not wearing pants and all.

Might just as well bring a sack lunch that tastes terrible or would be inedible – since Skylar’s not going to be eating it anyway. (It might “discourage” the bully from taking his lunch.)

Skyler, pack a broccoli sandwich instead, fit for a president, and too good for him.

what he wedging? his tail feathers?

How can you get a wedgie if you don’ wear pants?

How do you give a wedgie to someone who doesn’t wear pants or undies.

Skyler’s response of becoming a wedgietarian implies he was given a wedgie first before losing his lunch to the bully. I never experienced a bully doing a wedgie on me, but I was bullied with a flinch treatment. Flinching was a popular treatment of underclassmen at my high school in ’65.

Wear a kilt…

Skyler is wedged between a wok and a hard spud.

Time to cut your underwear so it rips before it hurts.
