Professor Quippy: This Gingivitis Is Harshing My Mellow

Professor QuippyIt doesn’t matter if you call it old china, fish stick, or jamumba, that tasty pot is going to make your dentist unhappy.

According to a new study led by Murray Thomson at the Dunedin School of Dentistry in New Zealand (where, believe me, they are serious about their skunk weed), smoking cannabis leads to gum disease.

Even worse, a quarter of those 18-32 years old who smoke it regularly have established gum disease that makes them look:

  1. clueless
  2. creepy
  3. bummed, Dude!

Oh the (wasted) youth!

In contrast, only 4 percent of those over 32 who had never smoked pot had gum disease. Of course, they’re uptight wankers, but they’ve got good gums.

More of the bummer (and gory) details may be found in this story. Warning: these Dudes may bogart your humor spliff.

When in Rome

Harvey, the angry rabbit

You know what Harvey hated? He really hated it when people misquoted things or used sayings the wrong way.

For example: the proof is in the pudding.

“No fucker.” Harvey would say, “the proof isn’t in the god-damned pudding, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

“Like, it’s not, ‘you have your cake and eat it too.’ Of course you can. What you can’t do, you miserable pustule, is you can’t eat your cake and have it too.

“Jackoff.”

Salathial Turgid, Hanging Judge

Salathial Turgid, Hangin' Judge

The O’Reilly Boys finally caught up with Old Judge Turgid at the Annual Pecos River Ride and Chili Jamboree. Salathial had hung their older brother Seamus “The Tinkle” O’Reilly just the year before and they were plum angry.

But Old Judge Turgid, he didn’t mind none. In addition to having a giant noggin’ that made his ten-gallon hat look like a Boston dandy’s bowler, Salathial Turgid had a legendary intestinal track capable of containing the very vapors of Hell.

He knew it. The O’Reilly Boys knew it. And the terrified denizens of Pecos knew it.

So when they put the Colt up against his temple, he laughed and said, “Boys, the only thing keeping my sphincter shut is my continued vo-lition. I’d give you the count of ten to va-moose but I suspect one of the town-folk will kill you first.”

Sunday O-Rama!

Don’t miss the Super-Duper (Tuesday) Carnival of the Insanities.

While we’re talking insanity, you should go visit this website, which is probably the most shoddily built thing ever. (Thanks to the Mistress of the Singularities, editor of Abyss & Apex, for finding this. You may want to check out the new issue of A&A too.)

The Carnival of the Godless is always entertaining, and finally, this video is also a gem, raising the question, has Google Maps gone too far?

We should probably keep a close eye on these people too.

Male Mac users overconfident

reeling in chicks - satire of iphoneA new poll shows that men feel they know more about security than women, yet both sexes are equally vulnerable to malware and other online terrors.

According to Crazy Apple Rumors:

Most people will not find this surprising. Also not surprisingly, Crazy Apple Rumors Site has learned that the researchers also found that Mac-using men are even more overconfident, both about online security and other things.

“I’d be concerned about online security,” said Your Mac Life host Shawn King, “but I already know that I’m totally impervious to malware. Because I’m using a Mac. I mean, duh.

“I also have a very large penis,” King added. “Really quite tremendous.”

Carnival of Satire (#93)
