Ironically enough, my dentist is married to a British guy. And of course I try to avoid asking her the obvious jokes, like, "did his family understand your profession when you met them?" ;)

Just to even out the banter, I typed "Tennessee teeth" into google image and this is what I got...

If Leto reads that, consider yourself petrol-bombed.
P.S. and of ALL times to bring that up, tomorrow is the 90th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising. Give it a search in Wikipedia if you'ren ot familar with it.

He's from Donegal... trust me, one of my good mates grew up there, they're a scary people. They also like to call people 'mucker' - don't ask me why. ;)
Not so sure as I haven't got around to reading much Joyce (although I intend to). Some of Yeats' best work was about the 1916 Rising, mind you.

Sounds like a friendly lot from Donegal. :D
An Irishman that hasn't read Joyce!!! :eek:
I, in turn, haven't read much Yeats.

I get the impression that Joyce, including Ulysses, isn't all that popular in Ireland. Despite all the people who turned out for the 100th anniversary of "Bloomsday" a couple of years ago.

That would figure. The Irish are pretty lowbrow.

I don't mind local anaesthetic (like when you're getting a filling or something), but general (the one that knocks you out) is f'n horrible. Only got it once (see above) but I must've swallowed a good half-pint of blood or so, during that operation. I felt really nautious (sp?) for a good 3 days after. Horrible.
Yeah, those are the ones I'm talking about. I had to get put to sleep for a shoulder operation a year ago and it had me in bed for 6 days or so.
OTOH I love laughing gas at the dentist.. unforuntatelly they think I can tough if out now and never give it to me anymore. :(

Oh, my dentist is only a local guy operating out of a local 'mall' (it's really only a supermarket, bookshop, hairdressers, pharmacy, cafe and video-rental) with two or three other dentists, rotating shifts. Ergo, no gasso.

I think you'd really like Yeats, especially given your tendency to like women you can't have ;) (Yeats was obsessed with the same woman literally all his life, and despite his 3 or 4 marriage proposals, they never got together).
Suggesting the following poems (I bet most are online): "The Second Coming," "Sailing to Byzantium", "Easter 1916", "September 1913", "No Second Troy", "When you are old", "Adam's Curse", "The Stolen Child" (this one appears in the Kubrick/Speilberg film AI), and my favorite, "He Wishes for the Clothes of Heaven." I love Yeats.

But you'll agree that Ulysses is close to top in the charts of the "most unreadable books ever"?
