I really want us to make the tournament. We probably don't have enough offense to make a super deep run, but I guarantee you no coach wants to face our defense in a single-elimination tournament.

When I was younger, just a bad little kid
My mama noticed funny things I did
Like coaching defense for my Upward peers
The other team would leave the church in tears
I'd find a center and I’d block his view
Mrs. Jans said, “Here’s what to do…”
(What did she say?)

She said, "My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way
To make your natural tendencies pay

You'll be a dentist (You'll be a dentist)
You have a talent for causin' teams pain (Pain)
Chris, be a dentist (Son, be a dentist)
ADs will pay you to be inhumane (Inhumane)
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success!"

If this were RSFC, this would be worthy of a Rutsie nomination.

Speaking of root canal. Five years ago, I had one on my back bottom tooth. My cost was 600.00. The crown was 400.00. Last year it got infected. They had to go back in a redo the root canal. My cost was 600.00. Three weeks ago, it started hurting again. I went back and the root broke in half. I had to pay 203.oo to have it pulled. I spent almost 2000.00 to have a tooth pulled. I wanted it pulled in the beginning because it was in the back, but the dentist talked me out of it. True story.

Now you know why he talked you out of it. On a more serious note, the number of dental offices in Rankin County has hit critical mass. No way they can all stay in business.

Hard to blame the dentist for your weak-*** teeth. Just saying. Grow some roots**

Totally sounds like something Chris Jans would do.

I had three root canals on the same tooth. Third one I had to go to a root canal specialist, yes there is such a thing. Turns out one root had a curl like a fish hook on the bottom of it. The hook wouldn’t show up on regular xrays. The specialist had something that took a 360 degree picture like an MRI of the tooth. Dentist couldn’t get around the curl but the specialist did. I hurt for close to two years before getting it fixed.

I’ve met more than one that I’d call crooks

Dentists never want to pull a tooth. The money is in the problem, not the solution.

 

[She Mate Me]

There is a lot of money grab involved in dentistry. Root canals especially.

What is a "Rutsie?"

The usenet group had annual awards to honor excellent and horrible posts.

Best Song Parody was one of the Rutsie (derived from RUTS - run up the score acronym) categories.

So can we call our remaining opponents anti-dentites now?

 

[Cantdoitsal]

I had an older cousin who was so anti drug he had a root canal with no novacaine. And yes, he was a tough SOB. He would sip whiskey but never touched the harder stuff even the legal drugs. If I were to have a root canal with no drugs, I'd die. Literally, I'd die.

It is important to discuss all available treatment options with your dentist and weigh the benefits and risks of each option. Ultimately, the decision to extract a tooth or undergo a root canal should be based on your individual circumstances and preferences.

If you have concerns about the cost ofmay want to consider dental insurance or financing options such as payment plans or dental credit cards. Some dental practices also offer discounts or promotions for certain procedures.

Better off just pulling the dang tooth. Cheaper too.
