We did the surgical tube/squirt hose thing where we’d hide the water-filled tubing in the sleeves of our jackets or long-sleeved shirts. Had a chemistry teacher who confiscated all of the rest of the class’s squrt guns on Sadie Hawkins day, then he thought he’d be cute and turned one of them on a few of the dis-armed students in the front row. We drenched him from the back of the room. Not a bad argument against gun control, actually. And he was a liberal, too. Lol.
We used surgical tubing in the old Caltech waterfights also. Downside was that the tube would fail after an unpredictable number of use-and-refill cycles, instantly shrinking back to its original dimensions and often imparting a nasty “whack” to the user.
These boys, it’s not slip ‘n slide, it’s slip and collide. Also, check out Tank McNamara today for more wintery goodness. Tank gets on a snowboard for the first time.

Kudos to Mallett for today’s artwork. It goes above and beyond your typical daily strip. I really appreciate the effort.

The winter version of a slip N slide, only a lot more painful i suppose!!

this looks fun but would take more pre-planning.
