I think it must be something like the overplucking of eyebrows. At some point, you lose all perspective.

Except eyebrows grow back.

Who thinks that those collagen-inflated lips look better than the natural variety, anyway? Aside from porn starlets, I mean.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Har, Chi. I wasn't really just randomly yelling. Do you have more info on radioactive-making thyroid things?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

berium!!! fun with glowy things.

Which reminds me -- shotguns vs. rifles and their legality -- I read somewhere that shotguns were less ev0l, so they were easier to have. Of course, you saw them off and you're a bad person, but still. What say you?

I don't know that rifles are more evil than shotguns. Rifles are more precise than shotguns. Once the shot leaves the muzzle of a shot gun it begins to fan out, which makes it more likely that at least part of the load will hit the target. OTOH, shotguns don't have the range of rifles.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Cindy!

I know. I think "grouper" lips would be a more accurate description than "bee-stung". Yechh.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Do you have more info on radioactive-making thyroid things?

I do know a lot about it. There's two things they do: 1)Radioactive iodine uptake scans where they scan the body for thyroid cells with a very low dose of radiation and 2)radioactive iodine treatment where they kill thyroid cells with a very high dose of radiation.

I've had the first kind three or four times and the second kind once. Anything specific you want to know?

What is even happening?

Jesse, does she have Graves disease? They sometimes ablate (I think that's the word--kill) the thyroid, in Graves disease patients, and the patients are radioactive for a few days after, I think. I'm trying to remember. Two daughters of a friend of ours have had this done, one fairly recently.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. My mum's having us to dinner tonight, and I have a sneaking suspicion I'll be able to clear off the last two episodes of A:ts S5, off my TiVo.

Awww, man, why did Maggie O'Connell need ass-fat in her lips

It's a sin. She was given a beautiful face. It would have aged well, and with character, retaining the beauty. It's just wrong.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mick Jagger?

People with the poor taste to date Mick Jagger?
