Anti-Dentite, Like Pulling Teeth
Notice the dentist has his foot up to get some leverage to pull out the teeth, yikes!
I guess this is how things were in the "olden days."
No Anesthesia either!
I'm sure in a hundred years from now, they'll look at our state of healthcare and laugh too.
Progress is a great thing! ;-)

Hanging Out With A Dinosaur
Not so hard to imagine when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Here's one in the gallery, and he's sort of guarding the entrance.
With dinosaurs, you just gotta watch out for the teeth and the tail.
A domesticated pet it isn’t, yet some people don’t even notice it standing there!
We know we're getting old when we're hanging with dinosaurs or are we the dinosaurs as the next generation pass us by? ;-)

Without a Brain or Soul
A real skull, all hollowed out.
Sockets for the eyes, and a big hole where the nose goes.
The ears are gone too.
The skull is sawed open at the top, where the brain goes.
Not much left of the rotting teeth.
The soul is departed and is somewhere in the afterlife.
This should go a long way to humbling any human being.
What's outside really doesn't count for much, and what's inside is everything. ;-)

The Devil Wolf Attack
It was so completely real, I can't even tell you.
There was a devil wolf that attacked me from the the back and literally jumped on me.
It's claws were wrapped around my neck and I could tell that with any movement whatsoever, they would immediately slice and sever my arteries completely.
His huge jaws were at the backside of my head, it's hot breath searing my flesh, and his sharp gnawing teeth were ready at any moment to snap into my neck.
His full weight, incredible strength, and evil presence were heavy on me and ripping into my back and shoulders.
It was clear how close I was to the very end of it all.
The pure evil of this devil wolf being and the ferociousness of the attack was the most fearsome that I could ever imagine.
What happened next I will never tell anyone, except that I am alive to tell the story.
But this experience of undeniable and terrible evil so close and foreboding has left me a different person forever.
There are forces of true evil out there--for sure--and we must never let our guard down for a second.
But as Rabbi Nachman says, it is a narrow bridge, but with the good of G-d, we must never fear at all. ;-)

Nice Chompers
The dental hygienist comes in and does the cleaning.
Ultrasonic cleaner, scraping, polishing, flossing, rinse--all sort of routine.
Next the dentist comes in--looks this side, that side, bite, bite again, looks some more.
Then sort of out of the blue, the dentist goes to me:
"You got some nice chompers!"
Ah, never quite heard anyone say that before or quite the way this dentist said it.
Uh, a little strange sounding and feeling a little uncomfortable.
I go out and tell me wife about this weird thing.
And I start laughing and going...
"Doctor, you got some nice chompers there too!"
Somehow the way I said it, we both cracked up laughing.
I'll never think of going to get my teeth cleaned at the dentist quite the same way again. ;-)

Makeup That Leaves You Wondering
So I was in Macy's yesterday doing some holiday shopping for the girls.
And came across these eye-catching advertisements for MAC cosmetics, especially lipstick.
The one with the mustache lip and the big gap in the front teeth caught attention--like what in the world is that?
And the poster with twenty-one different lips certainly let you know that there is quite a bit that makeup can do to express your lips and yourself.
Overall, thought it was quite an effective advertisement, even if the one with the mustache was a little gender confusing. ;-)

Man Versus Alligator
Today we saw some "Alligator Wrestling."
The guy said he doesn't get paid anything--except tips--because if he's on the payroll, no one would cover his disability insurance--ah, go figure.
The photos progress from the guy putting his hand in between the gator's open mouth to his full head in the grasp of the gator's jaws.
Maybe this guy was too sleek, because I think the crowd was disappointed that the gator (in captivity) seemed to be "losing".
This is not what happens on the Discovery Channel, where all it takes is for the gator to lash out hard and fast--just once--and this guy in mince meat!

Can't Find My Dentures
Someone found a set of dentures on the table in the lobby!
Uh, what was someone doing taking out their dentures and putting them on a public table in the lobby?
I remember my beloved Opa (grandfather) who had quite a set of dentures (years ago they couldn't as readily save people's teeth as they can today).
When my sister and I would go over to my Opa and Oma for Shabbat lunch after synagogue, and sometime right before Birchas Hamazon (grace after meals), my grandfather would invariably end up taking out his dentures and we would all laugh together at how silly those things looked.
But thank G-d for those dentures, beause I don't know how people would eat solid food or smile a non-gummy smile without them.
Of course, I hope whoever lost their dentures in the lobby isn't going crazy searching for them, sees the lost and found sign, and claims them soon.
Anyway, can you imagine going down to the lobby and seeing someone's false teeth just laying there randomly on the table or when they go to the front desk to claim their lost dentures, and the person behind the desk says, "Well Sir (or Madam), can you put them in your mouth and prove that they are yours?" ;-)
