At that point you may as well start shooting with gold bullets, it'll be cheaper and considering gold's extraordinary ductile properties, the chances of it retaining any identifiable marks after impact is rather low. That is if the fragments aren't 'lost' by someone who has more greed than integrity.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I also advocate for human hibernation in the winter.
Good call.
I think I committed to bringing cookies to a thing tomorrow night, and I am so not into it! Oh well. I just suggested I could bring a tube of dough and some decorating stuff, and have it be a craft (it's a crafty evening), so we'll see.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think it'd be most wretched to kill someone, have their ashes compacted into diamond in a bullet shape, and then shoot their loved one with it.
I WILL KILL YOU WITH YOUR OWN MOTHER, YOU BASTARD.
Now THAT is a CSI episode.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, but the whole point is to confuse the CSI people (and Quincy). "No bullet and a few splotches of mercury" would be more confusing than "gold bullet."

Oh, hey Jesse, did you get the bags?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Oh, hey Jesse, do you need any help with the bags?

Heh. I like Allyson's idea.
Or maybe you could bombard the victim's house with a human cannon, enlarged to fire cows....

I did get them! Thanks. And I may or may not need help with them, but now I'm trying to figure out when I can actually do the stuff, and am not sure when that will be yet. Shopping I can do tomorrow, but the fact that it seems like they are only picketing between 10 and 2 makes life harder for me!

Allyson, people who grow up in the Boston area in the late 70 and 80s, can all tell one thing about the New England Aquarium.
That it taught them how to walk like a penguin.
This television ad played for more than a decade on the various after school blocks. Though I understand the dolphin show is no longer being held.
(Sorry for this bit of Boston nostalgia)

Punishingly Intricate
Oh Lisa, say it isn't so. The trick to crow is actually being willing to faceplant and moving your heart far enough forward. It's not necessary to have a huge amount of strength. It's all balancey.
I'd like to say that my body shape (big boobs, biggish butt) makes crow difficult for me but I think it's really that I'm a pussy about faceplanting. What I need to do, I think, is get somebody to assist me up into it so I know how it feels and then i'll be less afraid to do it myself.
