Ouch!

yes, but can they squirt water???

Owee! Darn it, I just caught my upper jaw on my lower and half-way ripped out a molar (it's the one my dentist said he wanted to pull, but..) Man-o-man, I heard the tissues rip! I guess I'm dentist-bound, and this is turning into a bad headache.(calling centist now) Okay, he'll get me tommorrow, noon, but I better go lie down to reduce the throbbing. It'll be soup for dinner. Have a nice evening all.

It's times like this that a penis-sheath and a necklace of wild-boar's teeth can really comfort a guy. If he's got 'em.

Tooth and Cosequences

My tooth was removed, but unfortunately several lobes of my brain were attached, and as a consequence of this I am no longer able to comment. A life of secluded rural retirement awaits me, so my appearance does not embarrass my family. My dog ran away, too. Bye all, and good luck to everyone. Peace!

I know just how he feels!

when they roll up beside you at a stoplight in their trashed old Hondas with 19-inch spinner wheels and rap recordings that shake the foundations of the buildings.

(Actually, most have 17" inch wheels with a few 16") fronts.I can't stand those CBRs, the 600s especially. And those white boys on their four-cylinder literbikes. And the awful graphics on their helmets! And the clothes they wear, and the language that he use!

Go to him now,

he calls you,

you can't refuse-

When you ain't got nothing,

ya got nothing to lose.

How does it feel?

Sorry, brain's all screwed up until I get an implant to replace that cerebro-molar which was pulled. Hell, I've been been grunting for four days, at least the English language is coming back. Still can't drive, or walk. I'll go back to bed.

Obama, your Papa's Rich, and your Ma is good lookin'!

Even though Obama is not and never was an African-American, he has always been black enough to benefit from the superannuated slave culture that forgives every corruption and hypocrisy in those who have any claim on being black.

Okay, I'm gonna have the rest of my teeth pulled. If that doesn't work, I'll get a lobotomy. If I'm still aware of Instapundit after that, death will offer the only surcease.

Don't you all remember how the slaves were forgiven for every transgression? And the system of Jim Crow laws laid down, at great expense and with great trouble, to benefit the descendants of these slaves, and relieve them of all responsibility?

Reminds me about the story Sammie Davis used to tell: He went to play golf, and they asked him: "What's your handicap?"

The Right Wing-

-doesn't want a President, or even a Commander-in-Chief!

Nope, they want a Co-conspirator-in-Chief. And whatever Barack Obama is, or is not, he is not eligible for that role.

And if he's not conspiring with them, he must be conspiring with the Black Panthers and Saddam!

Maybe it will be true. Maybe my "Invisible Man" prediction will come to pass: That unable to even begin seeing Obama for who he is, since they are incapable of doing that with any non-white person, they will simply start to project, and I feel from an even darker place that "Islamophobia" comes from, since it doesn't even go outside the US to find its "other".

And by doing this they will, at long last, marginalise themselves with a populace that whatever its other political sins may be, has had to come to terms, as a practical resort if no other ideal animates their liberality, with a more diversified populace. We can but pray, and hope, anyway.

Thanks for All the Cards and Letters, Folks!

First of all, I am truly grateful for the many ejaculations of heart-felt commiseration I have received in my recent toothy travail. Many have offered to remove the rest of my dentition with a celerity only pugilism, not dentistry, can supply. Thanks to you all. I will try to remember to duck.

But I am now completely recovered, my retirement cut short by matrimonial exigencies. My wife is of the misguided opinion that the Family Leave act only covers maternity and consanguinous bereavement, not the loss of a molar. My comparison of the relative lengths of marital and dental attachment was not received with favor, and here I am, at work again.

@blank

It's kind of how liberals feel about the Jews.

Oh they won't say it aloud, they'll even claim they know a few. But they're sure as shit hoping they'll all go the fuck away to Jewistania at the bottom of the sea.

blank

This is a new line of thought, blank. I thought Jews were in the forefront of liberalism. Could you explain this further so someone like me, who is not so fast on the pick-up, could understand it? I mean, you may have something here. Something.

@ RMP

The chance for real change clearly lies with Obama over the other two candidates regardless of how much change you believe Barack can bring about

RMP

Very well put. I think that is a very good assesment.

Flame me for it, but I think this is one election where a person doesn't need a whole lot of information to know what their best choice is.

blank verse

I don't know, Paul, much as I respect your reasoning and your ability to express yourself, I don't know if the paragraph following Mr. blank's allusion to "Jewistania" (if I have that correctly) is susceptible of such facile explication.

It's way, way deep, man. Only a blank mind could explain it.

Mr. blank, we're waiting.
