However, some gun aficionados wrote a couple of polite letters informing
us that silver bullets were not the easy solution they first appeared to
be. It may not be impossible to make a working silver bullet, but it's far
from an easy task. Since it's nice to have the books make sense, I figured
I'd just go build some silver bullets and silence the critics—after all,
how hard can it be? The Lone Ranger did it, right? However, before we
continue with my efforts to produce a usable silver bullet, let me briefly
discuss the history of silver, and how silver bullets came to be the de facto standard for werewolf
extermination.
Via columbina, Silver
Bullets
I would prefer to say this link is for Kurt, but seeing how he barely uses
the Intarwebs (I think he checks his email once a month, if that), instead,
I'll direct the link towards his fiancée Amanda, who I know will see
this.
The upshot seems to be, forget silver bullets—try silver buckshot instead.
Easier to make and better in close quarters fighting.
And more satisfying to shoot, too.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
