Banshee is keeping up the momentum in the second episode this season. Carrie stops boning the Colonel, but Sheriff “Lucas Hood” is pissy that she slept with him at all. Exes.

A little while back, Forrest Black found a mention of the existence of a Hello Kitty handgun. I felt I had to find the source for this little gadget.

This means one should be conscious, while dripping wet, of a sense of personal renewal.
Songkran actually runs through April 15, so there might still be time to get or make the perfect water gun. A gentleman named John Young has designed The Ultimate Water Gun (pictured) using a fire extinguisher and a motorcycle . . .
