OK, every time I start scrolling and hit a bunch of mustard yellow with a bunch of brillo over to the right of my screen, i start to break out into hysterical laughter (probably due in part to recent comsumption of copious amounts of chocolate). Why is this picture so motherjumpin huge? Why is it so airbrushed? And why is he starting to look like the love child of Jennifer Beals and Felicia Rashad?

TexLex, why don't you just go to a store with a large sample section and pick up a tiny tube of everything they've got? I didn't have a toothpaste problem (that is, it didn't make me any more nauseated than I already was), but I couldn't brush my tongue without gagging. I think the Tom's of Maine suggestion sounded promising. You could always try brushing without paste to get teeth clean, then use something else for breath-freshening. I recently tried the cinnamon Altoids strips and really like them--they dissolve quickly and don't coat your mouth with gummy stuff like some of the others.

P.S. Anyone else tried the limited-edition ginger Altoids? Yum.

Much as I love my current summer songs CD mix (Poi Dog Pondering, DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince, Blondie, 311, Stevie Wonder, etc.), I need to make a new one.

Suggestions on your favorites?

Thanks.

Rickie Lee Jones did a cover of "Under the Boardwalk that is one of my quitessential summer favorites. Another is "Set Me Free (Rosalie)" by Los Lobos. The latter can't be beat for rolling down the windows and screaming out the chorus off-key while driving through the neighborhood.

Hey, not all of us are "classy."

I've always been a Crest person, but my favorites (as far as flavor goes) are Aquafresh and if you can find it, the blue Aim. Mildly minty - not overpowering. The Tom's stuff tastes too much like baking soda which gives me flashbacks from college parties I used to attend.

'Fie, lifeless picture, cold and senseless stone,
Well-painted idol, image dun and dead,
Statue contenting but the eye alone,
Thing like a man, but of no woman bred!
Thou art no man, though of a man's complexion,
For men will kiss even by their own direction.'

Venus and Adonis, stanza 34.

JJ Cale, Closer to You (talks about clothes -- but is creepy in the Prince Charles "I want to be your tampon" way)

Oh and a question (since we are on the subject) - I need a new, better tasting toothpaste - I use regular Crest right now, but it's making me sick (most things are). Any suggestions from anyone who's been there?

If minty pastes are making you feel sick, Colgate makes children's toothpaste in bubblegum and fruit flavors. Look for the picture of Barbie on the tube.

When I think of fun in the sun I often flash back to a Spring Break spent in Daytona the year "Informer" sung by ??? was all over the place (this was the one about licking your boom boom down). One could not get away from that horrible song, although I think I enjoyed it at the time.

I also think of "Short Dick Man" for the same reasons. I even had a hilarious Spanish version until I lost that CD.

Can you still get them? Can I order some from you?

Less (legendary for acting like booze but without the hangover) inSF
