The Definition of "Fun"
My Sarcastic Dictionary defines "fun" as "getting a root canal."
So guess where I'm going to be this afternoon? That's right - at the endodontist, having metric braloads of fun.
Contrary to popular belief, root canal work isn't particularly painful - provided they use novocaine. You go in, they stick you with that damn needle (the only painful part, and that's like giving blood), and then they get to work. The problem is the "work" can take an hour and a half, and the whole time you're sitting there with your jaw wedged wide open.
Like I said before, it's boring - in both senses of the word. At least they're giving me Valium.
I may pass the time seeing how many digits of pi I can calculate in my head, or practicing counting in base 3 for the hell of it. That would make it less boring.
The worst part, though, is that at this first procedure, they pack the tooth with antibiotics. Then, some time in the future, I have to go back and have that replaced with permanent inert fillings. And THEN I get to go to the other dentist - two visits, again - and get a crown.
So that's my afternoon.
Meanwhile, maybe this will entertain you - it's certainly more entertaining than what I'll be going through. Mavis Moog  posted it as a reply to a comment of mine in her blog, and it may be the coolest thing I've ever seen on YouTube (considering that I haven't seen any Springsteen videos on YouTube):

And when you're done with that, well, consider this list of the nine most BADASS Bible verses - because with all the religion discussion we've been having lately, I just have to:

If the Bible had been written by King Leonidas and the rest of the Spartans from 300, it would probably read pretty much the same as it does now.
It turns out, the Bible is already chock full of ass kicking. Here are the verses that make us want to take to the streets and put some unbelievers to the sword.
Turn the other cheek? Not these guys! |
