What exactly sticks? Have you been overusing the glue again?

We certainly don't want to burn that - It's been known to be toxic. And we've got enough toxicity around as is.

Sticks not straws, for the burning!!

So the straws aren't sticking? Perhaps we need more string. Or maybe it's not super enough.

Straws stick, more importantly straws suck. But don't?

What are these straws sucking? Pipes?

Wait, I am caught in a loop!!

Yes, string tends to do that.

And if the universe were made of it... that would explain quite a bit.
