The toothless ones...
 

OK, just a quick question for those of you who don't have any teeth in their mouth or know someone who doesn't have any: WTF are they always doing with their mouth? It looks like they're always swirling a marble inside their mouth or something. I don't know what it is, but it bugs the living shit out of me.

I'm at Wal-Mart during lunch picking up a few things and the cashier obviously has no freaking teeth (NTTAWWT). Her lips look like they've curled up inside her mouth which isn't the most attractive thing in the world. Anyhoo, she keeps gumming at something inside her mouth. Her f'n mouth won't stop. It's absolutely annoying.

Can anyone help explain this to me?

Wal Mart has poor dental coverage.

nas car

It could be a tomato, and she just can't get it started.

Maybe it is a mouth full of grapes.

Well,

I do believe said toothless populous are likely being sentimental about their lost loved ones. You see, many of our aging society lost their beloved teeth in the great plaque war of ninteen ought eleventy-three and their lives have not been the same since. It seems as though many of these poor souls are still having phantom pains, like you would if you lost a leg. The brain refuses to believe that such a big piece of them is missing and it forces said individuals to keep checking in disbelief their gaping toothless orafaces.


Either that or they are still tasting the rotted holes that assisted them in mastication. I dunno.

i only have half my real teeth. dont know, what there doing.

Skoal.

Meth

bingo, I read that it is common for them to rub that $hit on their gums I guess it gets them high quicker

what? ive never heard of that.:spock:

should you have?

When I was doing that stuff, it was common to have an "active" tongue. I would actually get cracks in the sides of my tongue from running it around on my teeth for hours on end.

Damn, I am so glad I got away from that stuff. I am sure it would have killed me eventually.

shit ya, i love meth.

glad to hear you did man.

Maybe the teeth actually provide support, and when there aren't any teeth, the lips move with the wind.

There's a lady, who I assume is in her mid 30s, that comes into the bar occasionally who (I'm told) lost all her upper front teeth in a car accident and simply cannot afford to have them replaced. She seems to have adjusted to it pretty well, but it's both very apparent and extremely ****ed up.

I guess there are worse things to lose than hair.

Maybe you should all shut the **** up and walk a mile in their shoes.

dude, i really lost all my front teeth when i was 12.

My statement wasn't intended for you.

I don't think what I'm seeing is a meth issue. This broad was ancient (at least looked it). I've noticed it just about all the LOFs that have only thier gums left. I've always wanted to ask one of 'em, "WTF are you doing with your mouth?" I just don't have the nerve or the heart to ask. They look kinda funny doing this though.

Holy shit, I've seen racial slurs, homophobic jokes, sexual comments out the ass, people making fun of the handicapped (mental and physical handicaps) all on this board. Claythan is sporting swastikas for the love of Christ. This is the first time I've seen a crusader for toothless rights. Fight the good fight my friend.

Maybe bogey has dental issues?:shrug:

Yea, not really sure why I over reacted the way I did. I guess I see people that can't afford good dental care and feel sorry for them. And yes, I've spent 10's of thousands of dollars on my teeth, or lack there of.

I hate big dentistry

10's of thousands? Is this you?

:) I've spent 10's of thousands to make them look real.

When I was a kid I had huge spaces between my front teeth - my divorced parents were both too wrapped up in **** YOU BITCH/ASSHOLE I'M NOT PAYING FOR BRACES to get the problem dealt with the right way, so as soon as I turned 18 I paid to have my teeth capped myself.

Then my hair fell out.

So in every photo of me before I'm 18, I'm smiling with my mouth closed because my teeth were so messed up, and in every photo after I turned 18, I have a big toothy smile on my face, but I'm wearing a hat.

I was happy for about a year, though. :spock:

your pain, made my day.

rep.

Glad I could help! LMAO

My mother works for an Oral Surgeon and says that after the loss of the teeth the surrounding bone that helped hold them there degenerates down to nothing. That's one reason why the lips always seems to "suck" in.

She tells me they doing great bounds on reconstruction though. Even embedding magnets to the jaw to hold dentures in. No more Seabond!

ROFL

So as long as no one clocks ya in the yap, you won't be the "toothless bald guy"

You're thinking of cocaine.

I guess that would explain the half your teeth missing bit...
