The slaughter by Raphael Trujillo

Hey, OC.

I couldn't help but notice your avatar, my friend. I'm missing the same tooth, plus some others. It's kind of a WV, thingy, I reckon. It's actually kind of handy, because I can drink a milkshake through a straw without even having to open my jaws.

Figure I'm less apt to get TMJ that way.

My friend, Herbie, had one tooth in his head. It was a show tooth in the very front. One day we were talking about green onions. I told Herb I like to clean them up and just gnaw them at the kitchen sink. Herb said, "I can't do that. I'm missing some teeth, you know..." I tried to make an expression that said, "What? I didn't know that."

You are right it does seem to be a WV thing.

Appalachian, actually.

I am surprised some enterpreneur has not come out with cheap over the corner replacements you can pick up at the dollar store.

Should we move this to "Hippie or Hillbilly"?

It saddens me that Darth Omar is not around these parts anymore. I hope he is well and I will track him down in St Albans if he is not careful!
