Similar to economic inflation, GPA inflation is a drop in value of the "grade points" used in most schools today due to a dramatic increase in competition. In the past, a 4.0 used to be sufficient, but now it's hardly enough.
Strained by the sheer number of incoming applications, many colleges try to narrow down the applicants by accepting only those with the highest GPA. This, in turn, causes students to try to raise, or "inflate," their GPA by taking AP, IB, or Honors courses.
Unfortunately, this causes the colleges to raise their bars even further since so many students have 4.0's or above.

A: Hey, look at this, College X just rejected this guy who had a 4.1!
B: What?! It was accepting 3.8's last year! That's just ridiculous...
A: GPA inflation, man. That's what it is.

Immolation is unrelenting death metal in its purest form. They do not slow the pace of the music or water it down like the pussies in Six Feet Under and Torture Killer. Death metal, after all, is a speed demons dream.

If you do not like Dawn of Possession you are a retarded degenerate and should be immolated.

Get the Immolation mug.Usually, belly inflation is done one of two different ways.
The two ways are:
Via Air
Vie Water Enema
first we will talk about air inflation.
The person that wishes to inflate her belly first gets a device capable of pumping air. Such things can be a bicycle pump or an aquarium pump. These items are perfect, for they both can pump air, and have long hoses for easy inflation. Then the hose is inserted three to for inches up the anus to insure that no air escapes, this is done by perhaps lubing the hose with vasoline. Air is then slowly forced into the rectum and then into the colon. This air rises, and pushes on all the walls of the colon. This pressure builds, and pushes the belly outward. Often during first time inflations, little to no change can be seen. but after practice, an expansion of over 40 inches waist can be achieved. Air is then let out naturally.
For water inflation.
The most common way to do a water inflation is in the shower. Most showers come with separate heads located on long hoses. These heads can be removed and the hose nozzle is then inserted into her anus. Then, with small amounts of pressure, the same process of slowly inflating begins to push the belly out. Often, by practicing, larger belly expansion is achieved. In fact, most girls tend to turn up the pressure to a higher force, this can really really push the belly out and make lots of pressure. This plumpness from the water is the best type of inflation. From two years of experience, over 8 gallons of water can be held for over 10 minutes, making a soft, pale, and stretched belly. such roundness is quite choice.
