Personally, I think that Sarah just keeps getting better. The “parentheses” bit just about had me rolling on the floor. Thanks for sending it along, Kai!

“Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less.” — Susan B. Anthony


Ihave to shoot a butt load of poison (Botulin toxin) where?!? Into my head? You mean that close to my brain?!?
GAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Ha, awesome. I thought the yogurt one was good but this just hits so many artificially paralyzed nails on the head.
I love her take on the faux “girl power” aspect of it.
Weren’t there some articles recently about studies that had shown that botox may tend to accumulate in the brain?
Here’s a post about it: http://scienceblogs.com/twominds/2008/04/botulinum_in_the_brain.php
My husband had a Botox series as a headache treatment. I can’t imagine getting it for cosmetic reasons.
