So I was just eating dinner 20 minutes ago and while munching on pizza of all things, I broke my back tooth. Silly thing split right in half leaving a horrendously jagged edge. Well I am 42 so I suppose it is to be expected, but what to do until I can get to a dentist. If I leave it my tongue will be sliced to shreds. So I boiled a raker file and blunted that offending tooth. So my question is; does that make me a redneck or a true logger?
I've been there too! A few times. You're spot on about the tongue though....it's like those broken teeth are a tongue magnet!
Get some wax and mold it over the tooth to protect your tongue. If you can get to a pharmacy, they would have some tooth specific that helps. But, filing is probably helpful too.
What are you talking about? We don't talk funny up here, we just are smarter than the rest of the nation because we get by with 25 letters in our alphabet! Why use the letter R when you can just use ah instead? Here are the rules of the famed Maine accent. Any word that has the R in it, and is proceeded by an a or even similar to an vowel, is therefore pronounced as ah. You will clearly see this in the sentence I was often forced to say, under extreme duress when I worked for the railroad based out of Minneapolis, MN. "I got in my cah, went around the cornah, went into the bah, and got a beah." (Now the translation) "I got in my car, went around the corner, went into a bar, and got a beer." See, now you guys and gals can understand how the highly complex and well educated rules are regarding the famed Maine accent, but here in New England we used to burn people at the stake for trying to mimic the refined vocabulary. Well that was until we realized how many BTU's we were using that could have been going into our winter wood piles that often takes 44 cord to stave off our equally famed New England winters. Now, in salute to BP and their modest 4% profit margins, we simply tar and feather said offenders of our esteemed dialect and save our precious firewood. (Tongue in cheek, we have not actually burned anyone at the stake, nor tarred and feathered anyone for using the Maine Accent inappropriately for several weeks now).
Now wait just a dogged gone minute there......the rest of you are the ones with the accent!! Or should I say the rest of youse?
You mean to tell me we have more than 25 letters? I always thought it was iffy at 24! As for the way y'all talk, I always found it interesting, so I would listen a lot while I'm up y'alls way. But nope, I was referring to dem dare Yoooopers! They REALLY talk funny! (I had to say that since I like giving yooperdave a hard time from time to time. If I didn't he'd think I didn't like him.)
Great suggestion...gotta remember that one. Some year ago I went to lunch break with a co-worker. We stopped at Arbys and I ordered a French Dip sammich. Around about the second bite my left front upper tooth broke off completely (it had a root canal years earlier) and my buddy seemed to think that was pretty stinkin funny...and even worse was going back to the shop to finish out the day...embearskin!
