I suspect erika's reading list would scare the shit out of me.
'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I forget the type of hammer featured in this week's Dexter, but it was neither ball-peen nor claw, to my recollection.
Dwarven war hammer?
The problem with the claw hammer is that the claw will get stuck in the skull.
You don't want penetration on a traumatic head blow. You want a peen.
Latest swine flu rumor I heard on the internet: Donald Rumsfeld is invested in the companies making the vaccine, and he's stirring up fear of the flu so that he can make a profit on the vaccine.

Not too sharp, not too blunt. It'd kill Goldilocks dead.
