Eventually I just gave up trying to widdle it down and tried to melt the glue stick directly. Fyi jic you ever find yourself in a similar arts and crafts related emergency, they will catch on fire if you over do it.

    ? We had a whole day of Mardi gras family stuff last weekend in my small town. Our chicken run is mainly for the kids and so is the parade after. Mardi Gras is a holiday like Christmas is a holiday. Drunk tourists suck everywhere but have little to do with the lived experience of people who celebrate Mardi Gras.

    Edit: not to make it sound like some puritan thing. We were drinking, grilling and riding on floats/trailers while listening to loud music but it is still a day of family fun and excess and not like the french quarter silliness portrayed in popular culture.
