Chapter 25: I have admittedly never played a game of cornhole, but is it weird that Team Baloney is losing by 1, scores a point, and wins? Shouldn’t it then be tied? Maybe each is worth more than 1 point? (shrug) 

Luna’s shot: “Slowly, agonizingly slowly.” Not since the senator’s green car inched toward the finish line, narrowly avoiding moose, has anything moved this slowly. Luckily Luna’s shot didn’t stop just before crossing the finish line. 

When I read “Baloney Power”, it reminds me of a funny scene in Larry Gonick’s Cartoon History of the Universe. Discussing  the Battle of Salamis, Themistocles goes to the Delphic Oracle to ask about the battle, and she reponds “Divine Salamis…” so Themistocles returns to Athens and tried to put this in the best light: “She said ‘Divine Salamis’ – is that so bad??” And someone in the crowd asks “Divine Salamis? As in Holy Bolognas? 

@Owen – Harry Potter and MacDonald Hall share the same basic setting – a British-style boarding school – and kids the same age getting into mischief. That’s about all.
