I'm afraid that I'm missing something here. The only recollection I have was Sabrina using a crowbar as a twirling baton (which seemed weird at the time but didn't warrant comment).
If there is an explanation that won't require me to get out the brain bleach I'd appreciate it.

The whole crowbar in-joke was explained by Mike.
MY reference was that Sabrina's mom was caught by Sarge in the exact same position, in the exact same stage of (un)dress.

Okay, the crowbar reference is based on a request by an underaged Albedo fan made of the artist Steve Gallacci. Which was turned into a really big in-joke in the furry community
It's pretty much forgotten now. Iron Badger told Mike, Crystal, and me about it at MFM-7, and I've been trying to bring it back single-pawedly
Iron Badger wrote an email to myself and some friends, which I augmented and sent to Matt Trepal to explain the fanart of Portia I drew for him which would be here
The full explanation you can find here
And congrats to all who recognized the joke without being told! |

On the other hand, since Chris has a skunk in the house for home defense, what does he need with a crowbar?
(Other than it being ungentlemanly to rely on Sabrina for home defense!)

LOL!
Actually, an idea I had that I more or less decided not to use involved a break-in while Sabrina was at home alone.
She's surprised by an intruder who tells her at gunpoint to "turn and face the wall!"
It ends there.
At the end of the chapter, Chris comes home, after passing a state police car going the other way, to find a strong smell in the house and Sabrina wearing rubber gloves finishing wiping down the walls and the woodwork. Sabrina's only explanation is "Never tell a skunk to turn around" |

Too funny Chris. That would make the furry Dumb Criminals file, no doubt.

But how hard is it to clean a whole house or even just a room after that? :-& |
Just a note on how hard it is to clean a whole house after that, and that was after a small skunk was spooked...never mind one the size of Sabrina. |

Boil a pot of white vinegar - it will clear out the smell quite well.
For the last four or five years I've had problems of skunks living under my deck spraying the house repeatedly during mating season (December and January).
The stuff penetrates foundation walls and makes the house feel as if pepper spray had been set off.
Research and experimentation found that the boiling vinegar solution works best.
It also showed that fox urine was not reliable for driving them away.

Hmm....
That sounds almost like something that the MythBusters would have done...
(Email them. They need the suffering... )
Anyway, they proved that the stench-removing powers of Tomatojuice is a myth(Didn't Chris get skunked in a chapter, and took a tomatojuice bath), and that the only thing that really worked was the bakingsoda, dishwashing liquid, (hydrogen?)peroxide mix, and that it even beat the commercial stuff... _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"

I've found human urine to be extremely effective at keeping wild raccoons out of the sweetcorn. I had a patch of sweetcorn in a riverbottom that was prime raccoon habitat. There'd be paw prints all around my garden, but none in the corn.

You're basically marking off your territory, and all they sense is that some bigger animal has claimed a claim to the turf...
BTW, you need to update the scent markings every other week, or when it dries after a rain storm.
this also works against dogs who you want off your lawn... _________________ SHARKS In The Gene Pool South of Kosovo!
