That sinking feeling
Well, maybe taking a lot of pictures will make fixing a tire fun?

The Convincer
I don't remember whether Ben Sanders gave me The Convincer, or whether I stole it from him. Essential!

The offender
Well, that'll do it. (And obviously I need new tires anyway...)

The offender -- removed!
Removed and quarantined!

The tire plugs look something like black licorice twizzlers that are way past their expiration date.

Astonishingly, this holds pressure! Just cut off the excess twizzler, and, as the package says, "the tire is ready to inflate and use immediately."

Anyone have any tips on buying new tires? I'm about due.
