Basically, dump them in the dumpster, where they are broken to bits
randomly by the garbage truck during loading or at some other unknown
time, or you can take them to the landfill where they will claim that
the things are "hazardous waste" and freak out if you want to pretend
like they are "javelins" and chuck them for distance to watch them
explode on impact. It's all very unfair and takes away a lot of the fun.
I wrote a several page note titled, "Towards A Consistent Level Of
Freak", which detailed the various inconsistent responses that the
authorities take, including the bit about the tubes, the bit about used
motor oil, and the bit about cadmium coated fish hooks. I haven't heard
back. I'm thinking about writing them again. This time, I plan to cut up
pieces of the headlines and subheadlines from various national and
international newspapers and use those to make up the text of the
re****t. Hopefully that will get some action so we can save the
environment or save fun.
