Imagine having to have your body dispose of radiation. Easiest two out of your system and it burns both ways. His Japanese creators, probably not wanting him to poop or pee on screen, had him spit it out and then it turns to flames. Dudes got to have a sore throat after breathing it in for three quarters of a century and blowing it back out is pissed.

I know the whole theme is offbeat, but even thru all its uncertainties, I can&#8217;t take like so serious as to be down and not look at a brighter side. A long time ago a dear friend used the hashtag&nbsp;<strong>#whynotsmile<\/strong>&nbsp;and I&#8217;ve kind of attached that to my struggles this year as a sign of hope. Remembering as long as there is&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;hope,&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;there&#8217;s still a chance and that maybe all anyone has left.
