Tooth Hurty Part 1

You know? I like a day off once in a while. I mean, who doesn’t….Right? It means that you get the day’s time to do whatever you want to do with it. I could go play disc golf, or, or go drink beer with Tim, or play my guitar or somethin’ yeah. So you think to yourself…if I could do anything I wanted today..I would….

GET A FREEAKIN’ ROOT CANAL !!!!


You see a couple of weeks ago… no wait, even before that. About a month and a half ago we had a couple of days off of show so we went to Napa Valley to take a well deserved brake. I got lubed that night at the local den of iniquity in town, and stumbling back to the bus I passed by this one store window which I could undeniably, absolutely 100 percent not resist. As my gaze was drawn inward as if compelled by some dreamy mystical magic force, I saw a splendid array of colors swirling all around.
Blues and reds, with purple delight.
Pinks and yellows, oh what a sight.
All cast with this wonderfully bright soft white light. Then, mesmerized, my feet started moving my body in through the front door only to be completely inundated and totally surrounded by……

CANDY !!!!!!!!

Tons of it!
There was lemonheads and cinnamon, and candy bars galore,
Nougats, suckers, and taffee pieces, all within this store.
So I grabbed a bag and started filling and filling and filling and filling…..
I felt like a kid in a candy store.
I grabbed Swedish gummy fish, and truffles, some hard candies and a Bit O Honey,
I grabbed sours and all sorts of taffee and then I gave them my money.
About 29.79 to be exact.
And that’s a fact.

So now we get to the fun stuff….

A few weeks later I get this little hankerin’
so I open up my drawer and pull out my sack
and figure, I’ll throw a couple pieces back
I take out the taffee and unravel the paper pop it into my mouth. And I started to chew and chew and OW!!!! What the heck was that! I had just bitten down hard on something very….very hard. So into my mouth my finger goes to fish out this piece of candy and something bites my finger. No I’m only kidding about that. I pull out this slobbery half chewed piece of taffee and peer at it with an inquisitive eye. Upon close inspection, it is revealed to me that I have solely and successfully single handedly extracted a filling in biting on my back bicuspid and now it was stuck in my candy. Well there’s only one thing left for me to do…..so I pull the filling out, and put this slobbery half chewed piece of taffee back into my mouth and
continued chewin'
