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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here is what I know: I heard through the family grapevine that my aunt had "something done," that she was fine, but radioactive enough that she had to stay home from work (at a school) for a week. I heard earlier some thing about her thyroid, so I thought maybe it was connected. Stupid family grapevine. I should just call her myself! Cindy's Graves disease thing sounds most likely.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey! No Dissin' Bowie!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, the reason for the digit in evil was because I don't think it's evil at all. I just can't find a word. Less of a threat? A person with one, I mean. Whatever that might result in them being less regulated.

Except for the sawn off ones, that have the hella wide spread.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday Cindy!

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?

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.

Yes, this is done. Often, they try to ablate only a portion of the thyroid for Grave's disease and try to keep some of it working, but it's tricksy.

After a major dose of radiation treatment, you are radioactive, to a degree, for up to 2-3 months. I was in isolation for 2 days and told to stay away from others for another week and babies/children/pregnant women for about 2-3 weeks.

If I only had a brain...

Oh, Jesus.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena was freed by her captors on Friday but U.S. forces mistakenly opened fire on the convoy taking her to safety, wounding her and killing an Italian secret service agent.

So it does sound like this. Thanks.

Sounds like Grave's disease to me. She was probably given a lower dosage of radiation than I was, but still not good to be around kids for a while.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Awfulplasticsurgery.com has put me off collagen lips FOREVER. They NEVER look good.

Also, DX answered the question, really: shotguns are less effective at killing people, since they're really used for small, moving targets (e.g., birds or clays) and have less range. As opposed to rifles, there aren't that many automatic shotguns out there since they're prone to jamming and have a crazy recoil. And it's just not useful for hunting.
