for the brit in comment #1,

to "pants" someone means to run up and pull down their trousers, usually to the ankles, if possible.

also, if the bully yanks out your pull-away underwear, you have to go commando after that. why not just thwart wedgies by omitting underwear in the first place? dirtier pants?

i guess the wedgie-proof underwear would only work once. then the bully would find some other way to torture you.

mom wouldn't let us watch it when we were little. something about sudden, loud murder of child protagonist's mom didn't sit well with her.

we had all the bambi characters as stuffed animals and other kid comforts, though.

then by the time i was 5 we were watching gremlins (ok, i had to leave the movie theater cuz it was too scary) and poltergeist (for some reason we saw that one over and over.. still freaky, though). yeah, had lots of scary-movie-induced nightmares as a kid, but none involving a hunter shooting my mom in the forest, so there you go.

1. re the sanitizer drinker: if a patient is suicidal - don't leave him alone in the room!

2. what's Vitalis?

3. if you're going to ingest something harmful and nasty like shoe polish, what's the advantage in straining it?

if they're stabbing their faces so much, why is there no blood?

gosh, if there's something in the water, i'm not drinking it. just look at the hallucinations it causes.

this picture makes it look like quilted fabric.

pretty.

when i was a kid our squirt guns were clear flourescent green and non-gunlike colors like that.

i'm with nora. that would help.

and the squirt gun part - if it stays gun shaped - needs to look nothing like a real gun, or else you only get a few minutes to enjoy it before being tackled, cuffed, and/or shot with real bullets.

ooh, desmond and that creepy army guy did that on Lost.

with the dots and lines on black, it also reminds me of australian aboriginal art -- dot painting.

an apple with sweater-cleavage. so wrong.
