An even lamer episode than usual, and hence an even lamer review than usual. Hey, you can’t make bricks out of mud. Still and all, prepare for a 21 gun salute to mediocrity as we endure A Time for Rifles.

Sure you can make bricks out of mud. That’s what half of Mesopotamia was made out of, you know. Mud bricks.

And if you live in a sufficiently dry climate, you don’t even have to bake them. (That, incidentally, is why burning Persepolis was the nicest thing Alexander the Great could have done for future archaeologists of the Middle East. The intense heat rendered all the stuff made out of mud brick and unfired clay vastly more resistant to the ravages of time than it would have been on its own, making the city’s ruins one of the best-preserved ancient sites in all of Iran.)

Sounds to me like the characters [sic.] have been taking romantic advice from Barney Gumble: “….and I made sweet love to your pool table….which I then be-fouled….“

But are they giant shrew-proof? Are they?!
Because that’s the standard I strive for.

Sure, if you then apply aluminum siding. Which, of course, you were going to do anyway.
