Special Request Thursdays......

oooooooooooooooohhhh the mystery.... what is Specail Request Thursdays???

Well, its a new thing that i thought of tonight b/c I am too tired to stay up and watch my tv shows i taped while out for Brad's bday celebration. So instead of me writing about Amercia's Next Top Model (dan you watching this season?), or Laguna Beach... i thought i'd throw the ball to my trusty readers.

Feel free to post a comment with some topics of interest. IF i think they are 'blog worthy' i will do some research (my close friends all know how much i love to 'google') and post some information for all to enjoy.

G'night, me and my hurtin teeth are going to bed early.

~Teri Anne~

ps - I read today that a man bit a panda bear at a zoo in China, but the bear deserved it... the bear bit the drunk man who had climbed the fence to try and hug the panda.

pps - Also read about the first penis transplant... but they had to remove it b/c the man suffered some psychological problems... (friends/family... don't worry, i don't think i'd consider donating your penis if you were in a coma, your heart, kidneys... perhaps... but not your penis... you can take that with you).

ok, now i'm really going to bed.

ALL I really want is new shoes!!! - stupid teeth

As some of you may know, I had to go to the dentist yesturday. I am TERRIFIED of the dentist. I know most people say "oh its not so bad, i love how my teeth feel". Well, perhaps that would be all fine and dandy, if it didn't take a tonne of crying and excruciating pain to get to the 'nice feeling'.

Well good news is that I don't have a cavity and my gums are not rotting in my mouth... but there is still that pain to account for.... I have apparently ground down my teeth so much while i'm sleeping in the past few months that i have to buy a 500$ mouth guard thing... (that isn't fully covered by insurance... well some will be, but not even close to all of it). Its so bad you can feel grooves on the inside of the front teeth. no wonder they hurt so much. And the pain that i thought was my gums, was just my cheeck muscles b/c i was clenching my face so much. and giving myself tension headaches too... FABULOUS!!! new skis... mouth guard... new skis... mouth gaurd... AND ALL I really want is new shoes!!! :) :) haha

Arr, me hearty, its Talk Like a Pirate Day

I got an email last night about Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I just HAD to investigate... This is what i found and felt that it was important to share with everyone.

International Talk Like A Pirate Day began in the mists of the 1990s, when two Yankees, John Baur (Ol' Chum Bucket) and Mark Summers (Cap'n Slappy), be talkin' like pirates all o'a sudden. They decided that, to further the noble causes of the sweet trade of piracy, September 19 each year be the day when all souls over the world should be talkin' like pirates.

How To Be Speakin' Pirate-Like

Startin' Rules

Double up on all your adjectives and you'll be bountifully bombastic with your phrasing. Pirates never speak of "a big ship", they call it a "great, grand ship!" They never say never, they say "No nay ne'er!"

Drop all your "g"'s when you speak and you'll get words like "rowin'", "sailin'" and "fightin'". Dropping all of your "v"'s will get you words like
"ne'er", "e'er" and "o'er".

Instead of saying "I am", sailors say, "I be". Instead of saying "You are", sailors say, "You be". Instead of saying, "They are", sailors say, "They be". Ne'er speak in anythin' but the present tense!

Hints an' Tips

If it be helpin', start yer sentence wi' a "Arr, me hearty," in a deep, throaty voice — ye'll find that the rest be comin' much easier.
