ita, re your Dule Hill whitefont, aren't his parents from Jamaica? Which would give him an advantage. Well, you'd think. I suppose I should look at my mother's version of a Scottish accent as a counterargument.

Cash, is the dentist going to do anything about his cavities? We saw the dentist on Friday and he said that Franny had one cavity but he didn't want to fill it as it was small and he figured she'd lose the tooth before it started to bother her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Perkins, what is the name of the episode you and sumi are thinking of? I bet it's not one of the ones I still have on my TiVo...I don't explicitly remember Hardison sucking at fighting, just a general impression that he doesn't want to do it.

Obviously I need to rewatch the fight. It seemed reasonable to me--Eliot was displaying his usual brutal quick moves against multiple opponents and Hardison was much sloppier and wrestly. To make up a word.

Plei, you're right. Though his is better than mine, I'm pretty sure. Looking that up I noticed he tap dances and understudied Savion Glover. Hawt.

Well, if that's wrong, Barb, I don't want to be right.

The new Axe commercial is so horrifying, you guys. I'm glad someone sent me a link to the following commercial, which is made of utter awesome:

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yeah, Burrell. We actually need to do some major restoration. The worst problems are with his molars (which are going to be in for a long time until he's 11 or so). He has a major cavity, some minor cavities and some chipped teeth. There are a few minor cavities in front that they're just going to file down since he'll be losing those teeth in a year or two. The thing that freaked me out the most is that they will do all this under general anaesthesia--mostly because of his autism and cooperation level.

I was just really shocked because he's not my sweets eater and he's much better about brushing his teeth. He's got 16 cavities! He's only got 20 teeth!

I don't know if it could get worse if I fed him exclusively on candy and soda!

Wow. Sounds like he just got the weak teeth genes. As I understand it, some of it just is innate.

Yeeps, Cash. I'd be stressed out too about the general.

I read somewhere that one's teeth can be more and less susceptible to cavities. Owen is probably just a lot more prone, poor kid.
