Over and Under Combo Gun - shotgun and rifle.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PB & chocolate
This. Of course, just one has totally shut off my appetite. I can barely drink water, and I desperately need to. The chocolate-backed animal crackers may need to be tossed.
What's BMECT mean? Also, what's a choke?
But My Experience Contradicts That!
As for the choke, I have no idea.
Photons? Tricksy particle/wave thingummies that make up EM radiation.
Over and Under Combo Gun - shotgun and rifle.
But from looking at the links on the right side, is seems that "over and under" defaults to shotgun only.
But wouldn't MECT be simpler?
It's all about the BUT.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Just realized photons were too complicated and went with something simpler. Was tempted to say nothing and let it look like ita just spontaneously decided to mention photons, but... nah.

And also! I thought a nuclear explosion caused a magnetic pulse. Is that correct? Cause I got all nitpicky on The Sum of All Fears, and I'm wondering if I'm right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, can someone tell me some basic facts about photons?
You can make torpedos out of them.
OK, photons can be visible light, but in fact photons can be any electromagnetic radiation, like microwave or radio or whatever. Photons are emited when an electron goes from a higher-energy orbit of an atom to a lower energy orbit. Photons are weird in that they behave both as particles and as waves.

I thought a nuclear explosion caused a magnetic pulse. Is that correct?
Yes. It will disable radios, comptuters, cars (except for old diesel cars that don't need electricity to run) and other electronics.

Yes it is. Hence the EMP bombs they've designed.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Apparently a hybrid is not only possible, it's very common in Europe. I stand corrected! Never had heard of it before.
A choke controls the tightness of the spread. This is a good overview of chokes, etc.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I can't believe I am the first person to say this:
I'm having my first Girl Scout cookies ever.
Deprived freak.
I have work I could be doing. I could even be cleaning my office. Right now, though, not so much.
I do get to cross one more thing off my move to do list, which is to find a home for my old G3.

Deprived freak.
I prefer to call it "being from the 3rd world." I have had many nummy Girl Guide cookies (which are very different from what y'all have here), but where in hell would I find a Girl Scout?
That's rhetorical. I don't actually need a Girl Scout.
