     God damn man, your teeth are almost as bad as mine. I have British ancestry to blame. What's your excuse? ;]

     In Bali they file down the canine teeth of their children. Sharp spikey teeth are for animals. Perhaps he is just further evolved.

     A true jwz fanboy should know that he grinds his teeth despite his dentist's admonition. Dental themes are recurrent in his writing. Really they are. Perhaps a dental tag is needed?

     I asked, and all my friends say I have very nice teeth, so there. And gosh darnit, people like me!

   I don't remember your mouth looking like The Thing. When did you get hit by Space Radiation?

     Speaking of The Thing, have you seen these? Apparently they made the coveted "Worst Toys of 2005" list.

     I am particularly amused by the following disclaimer:

       They had those when the Hulk came out too.

       Kids are much, much smater/stupider than that. They hit each other with sticks and know it will hurt. Hell, I've even heard of a disturbingly large number of people who shoot at each other with BB guns. Blaming something relatively innocous because kids will hit each other with them and they might get hurt is ignoring the real issue: kids desperately want to hurt each other.

   When I was a third watch security guard at RI hospital, I used to have to patrol the dental clinic. I used to steal the most fucked up plaster casts and give them out as gifts. I hope none of those people die in any catostrophic accidents, because they were QUITE popular. And quite cheap.

   You were wise in taking yours home with you.

   There are many disgruntled security guards, much, much more disturbed than I was.

     Not to mention the dentists who 'lose' them in response to malpractice suits. Lots of fun for the poor guy trying to fix the mess afterwards.

   One day, I'm gonna go to the DNA and recognise you by the teeth. That's actually quite a scary thought.

   Oh gross. Dental X-rays are apparently ample for identifying corpses, but not nearly as cool.

   But you have such beautiful teeth! How did they manage to make them look so scary??

   Boy, you gots a purty mouth. Huh. Huh huh.

   Do you grind your teeth as well?

9. vxo says:

   Nice. They look a bit like my teeth, though my canines are much more frighteningly fang-like. I'm quite convinced that I'd easily draw blood if I bit someone.

    Fess up: you're getting a set of gothy fangs made, aren't you?

    What was the cast for? I've been working on some systems for the Invisalign manufacturing facility lately. Let me tell you, I have seen some crazy messed up teeth. They have problem teeth occasionally that are so misshapen they won't fit in the holders in the forming machines etc. Scary stuff.
