That Girl is Poison
I laughed a hollow, mirthful laugh of evil satisfaction today when I read this.

Injecting a botulism-causing agent into your face is a bad idea after all? You don't say!

My favorite quote from the article:

That stands in contrast to the findings of earlier studies, which suggested that the neurotoxin is completely broken down at the injection site into innocuous compounds and does not migrate beyond it—or if it does, only into the bloodstream or lymph system.

Ladies, here's a tip. The fucking thing has a nerve disease named after it. In the animal kingdom, this frog would be bright red AND blue, with a naturally occurring spot pattern that reads "do not touch" in seven languages.

I've been trying not to argue with or even think badly of other people this week, but I say feel free to LOL your head off at your fellow man on this one.

Yeah, the whole Botox things has always astounded me. You want to inject a "safe" version of the botulinum toxin into your FACE, so you can look YOUNGER. Really? And we know it's safe because the drug companies TOLD us it was? Really. What exactly IS their track record on that? Yeeeeah. You have fun. I'll look old, thanks.

Lordy. Botox never seemed like a good idea. I've earned my wrinkles, dammit.

Wow. Injecting a neuro-toxin. Perhaps they could harvest some of mine. I'll take the wrinkles, thanks.

Love the frog image....

And, hey, congrats on the new home!
