Confession

I will never ever get over my dentist fear, even on trips where there are no cavities, no x-rays and nothing but a cleaning and admonition to keep on flossing.

Confession, Part Deux:

I tell my dentist I floss regularly, but I don't really floss regularly at all!! (Unless flossing only when something is stuck in my teeth could be considered regular.)

Yeah, they can't tell you're BS'ing when they do your annual floss.

Remember, TM -- it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

More Borat news -- according to The Defamer, a guy who was in a scene where SBC as Borat worked as a men's room attendant (which didn't make the final cut of the movie) has sued for invasion of privacy. The clip the guy is suing about is in the article, for now, anyway. YouTube apparently pulled an earlier version.

Line from the Defamer item that made me think of TM in bold:
  • We're not entirely sure if some unsubtle gawking at a row of urinals really qualifies as an "invasion of privacy" (on the contrary, we usually interpret such unsolicited attentions, like the occasional filling of a stall wall hole by a curious, roving eyeball, as a flattering point of pride), but the Borat people can't be thrilled to know that individuals who didn't even appear in the movie are suing now, too, paving the way for scores more future lawsuits along the lines of "People In Neighboring Subway Car Traumatized By Sight Of Nearby Loose Chicken Vs. Borat."

Apparently, the guy may not have signed a release. The underlying news story from USA Today says:
  • The plaintiff, a South Carolina resident, says British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen posed as a bathroom attendant at Ristorante Divino in October 2005, invading his privacy and staring as he used a urinal, according to the lawsuit.

    "He is embarrassed and humiliated and leaves the restaurant," Milling said of his client Tuesday.

    The plaintiff was told a crew was filming a documentary on tourism but he never saw cameras, which were hidden in the restroom, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit makes no mention of a consent waiver and Milling said his client was not paid.

But no.
I love SCB, but Beggars isn't as solid pound for pound as TIB or Exile.

Prodigal Son, Parachute Woman and Dear Doctor don't cut the mustard (even though Dear Doctor is oddly amusing).

Jigsaw Puzzle is an overlooked classic.

Floss. Trust me on this. I fucked one of my molars up by letting a cavity go too far which could have been prevented by flossing.

Now it's root canal time.

You know, now that you bring it up, I can't ever recall confessing to masturbation. Either I stopped going to confession after I started masturbating or I didn't consider it a sin worth mentioning to a priest. Hmmm.

I can't believe you swallowed the line spewed by the powerful propaganda machine of the waxed string industry. You, of all people. Your warning was thoughtful, though. It was nice of you to show concern and I, for one, appreciate the newer, nicer sebastian_dangerfield. Good luck with your root canal!
