how are all my bad toothed, hooligan, council flat buddies doing?

there's a lovely, otherwise attractive englishwoman who takes her daughter to my daughter's gym. i can't look at her when she's talking without staring at her horrific teeth. same with a few other friends i had, including a couple from australia. HORRIBLE.

but no worries, rural folk in the usa have disgusting teeth, too.:cheers2:

 

MY GRANDMA COULD COOK. well, she killed off herself and her husband with the clogged arteries and such, but they lived a long life. she had good teeth, my granpa, the american, lost all but three.

 

though, actually, this thread wasn't about the stereotypes and your teeth. i was just trying to get your attention. how are things going for you people? i haven't read up in a while on y'all's shenanigans, and don't feel like browsing. post here.

 

This is actually something of a myth. We've got plenty of good food over here.

The reason for the stereotype is the stupid recipes we had to come up with during rationing, such as...boiled bacon is the only thing that springs to mind. You know...the rationing? We all had to do it over here during the war? It happened a few years before the US joined in then pretended they won the entire thing?

 

not true. y'all have had some truly disgusting recipes for EONS.

 

All my grandma ever used to eat was tripe
bleeuggh

 

i don't even know what that is.

 

The lining of a sheep's stomach.. what haggis is wrapped in.

 

It can be cows too...its kind of white and rubbery and watery and totally grim

 

I have slightly crooked though otherwise perfectly healthy teeth, it never used to be an issue but now probably due to the influence of American TV I feel really self conscious about it and wish I'd had braces when I was younger and had the chance. It really annoys me that a completely healthy and natural appearance should provoke such a reaction in others, which then reinforces feelings of inadequacy in the slightly-less-than-plastic-perfection individual.

Judging someone on appearance is a mark of a petty, shallow little mind. Though I doubt I'd be saying that if I was attractive...

 

my teeth are a little crooked, too. and not perfectly white. this woman's teeth are kinda see-through orangish. it's scary. i don't think the orangish lipstick she wears helps.

down around southern colorado, i saw for my first time, teeth with brown spots. how the hell do your teeth get stained that bad unless you're not brushing them? i don't understand.

 

GRAVY!!!

And i bet that woman had an orange tan to go with her lipstick and whatnot..

 

I agree. It doesn't rain much in London in the summer.

 

nope. very pale, her teeth are darker than her skin.

 

Even when it does rain here, it doesn't bring any relief. The air is ridiculously humid, and the rain just makes it worse.

 

In the desert sands of suburbia, where even your tears turn to dust. The flies are buzzing around the bins out side my council flat or concrete pigeon hole. Dustmen don't come as often as they used to. The worse smell is off chicken meat.

 

that's fuckin' depressing, man.

 

I must admit, I have found my self wanting on several occasions this summer for it to just pour down with rain.

 

who wouldn't? it's nice.

 

i know plenty of people who hate rain.
