Just hard enough to make his eyes bulge out, and a tickle goes a long way, too.

It's a fine line between the bulging eyes and popping them.

I thought cryo'ing your blades in Blue Bell is a felony in TX.

It was illegal just a few months back, but they re-instated the law that says you can go ahead and do it, as long as it is the vanilla flavored stuff.
