Rammstein at the dentist's!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

As you can see from my avatar, it is imperative that I keep my gnashers in tip-top condition, so that I can lunge at my helpless prey without fear of leaving a wobbly tooth behind in their sorry carcass. :twisted:

So, yesterday I was at the dentists. My dentist is a mild-mannered, unassuming chap, a mop of sandy hair, no obvious tattoos...

He pushes some tray thing filled with horrible squidgy stuff into my gob and says - and I quote - "I wonder... are you familiar with the post-industrial gothic rap metal stylings of Teutonic rock-gods Rammstein?" :eek: :lol:

I decide not to embarrass him by pointing out that "post-industrial" is a term more frequently used to refer to an economic/societal model... and to pull him up on the "rap" comment would just be churlish. Instead I crease myself laughing, still with this contraption in my mouth.

He continues "That video for "Sonne" is one of the best of the MTV age, have you seen it? I've been to one of their concerts - absolutely amazing.

"A lot of homo-eroticism there, isn't there?" His assistant starts to laugh. "No really, there is! Very homo-erotic, very much so..."

:lol: :notworthy: :lol:

Good spelling is WHO I AM! :cry:

My ego lies in shreds.

There I was wondering about whether to put an apostrophe in "dentist's"?

:lol: :roll:

I can never get weird/wierd straightened out either...

It's "dentist's" -- possessive.

As in "The dentist's surgery"

The apostrophe is in there to mark a contraction because in middle? old? English the formation would have been something like "the dentist his surgery"

</pointless grammatical exposition -- but then again I am a cunning linguist... and you did ask.>

I need to go back to the dentist's soon; the crown on my front tooth is starting to feel a little odd. :|

"Puella Puella Puellam...", I think you'll find, Claire

1st declension feminine, I believe, and should be declined as follows:

Puella Puella Puellam Puellae Puellae Puella
Puellae Puellae Puellas Puellarum Puellis Puellis

(Nominative, Vocative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Ablative. First row singular, second row plural)

I liked Latin at school, but unfortunately, it was in the afternoon and we'd have a couple of joints at lunchtime and learning really wasn't top of the agenda by 2pm.

I remember very little.

With so many people having "done" Latin, I can't work out whether we're all posh, or just old... :innocent: :P

I went to a girls grammar school (which I left 20 years ago) where I was told that if I wanted to go to university I had to have a Latin O'Level :urff: Pile of s**t ........


...........I'm old they were posh (or at least, liked to think they were :lol: )
I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.

You're lucky. The only thing I hear on the dentist is the sound of the drill drilling.
Doesn't mean there are no other sounds. But I cannot listen to anything else. :?
I don't remember one single conversation either. My mind is somewhere else in some place very scary.

Gosh, I hate the dentist.

My dentist likes The Cure.
He's also a damn good dentist... re-filled one tooth untill it was actually tooth-shaped and removed a tooth in a way that was actually a nice way to spend a morning. He gave me drugs and played cds and I walked away with a mouth that closes properly and a tooth in my pocket. FunFunFun.
