Actually it isn't that at all. It's a complex surgical procedure where they,
for want of a more technical description, "turn it inside out and tuck it in".
Rr
Ps. I knew a guy in boulder Co in the 1970s that did the chopjob on himself.
But he was a rather disturbed person who couldn't possibly pass the standard
psych evaluation.

down =)

sounds exactly like what the typical local 'progressive'

sounds like bullshit. Changing your birth name was always a
bureaucratic mess and I actually doubt people ever tried it.
So I highly doubt you can now change your name or 'image'(what
the fuck is that even supposed to mean) easily.
I can tell you however that last time I tried to buy a kilo of
caustic soda, the motherfucking scum at the shop didn't sell it
to me because I don't have a credit card. They want ID AND
you can't pay in cash. Courtesy of the DEA and the local DEA
lapdogs.
