CGiii Comment
The biggest worry here is that Wain must have thought that this was funny.
It most certainly is not.
This is geek humour made by geeks.
Fortunately, most geeks will find it so blatantly unfunny that they would prefer to stick their noses into dog-poop - which would be far funnier than anything that this little jerk - Wain - could come up with.
Why did Hyde Pierce ever agree to do this?

The(ir) Blurb...
The setting is Camp Firewood, the year 1981. It's the last day before everyone goes back to the real world, but there's still a summer's worth of unfinished business to resolve. At the center of the action is camp director Beth, who struggles to keep order while she falls in love with the local astrophysics professor. He is busy trying to save the camp from a deadly piece of NASA's Skylab which is hurtling toward earth. All that, plus: a dangerous waterfall rescue, love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and talking vegetable cans. The questions will all be resolved, of course, at the big talent show at the end of the day.
