The only toy guns I was allowed to have as a kid were water guns that didn't actually look like guns (most of these looked like animals.) One of my friends had a toy ray gun that flashed red lights and beeped, and it was what I always wanted to play with when I went over to his house. (Well, that and toy cars. For some reason, my mother wouldn't buy us toy cars, except ones that went with other things, like the Little People ones.)
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been re-reading my stash of Spider-Woman comics, and am astounded at the number of BB gun ads comic books had 27 years ago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Do they have ads for x-ray glasses and sea monkeys?

Not that I've noticed, but there's a ton for muscle building systems.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
My local news just had someone explaining that the Jennifer Aniston/Brad Pitt breakup has regular folks questioning how they can make a go of things if people with so many advantages can't.
I think these newscasters must have been raised in the wild by movie stars and therefore have no sense of the relative success of Hollywood marriages among celebrities as compared to the national average.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yuck. I'm playing the stupid game of "Should I try more anti-migraine meds, or should I take the Flexoril which usually works but leaves me feeling like crap if I take it too late in the evening?"
Ack.
I think I need to bite the Flexoril bullet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ack. Poor ita.

I took the stupid Flexoril. I'm going to feel like such ass tomorrow morning. I'd planned to make it to the gym, but maybe not.

Hate that. Hopefully you'll get some sleep.
