Sweet Jesus, I sound like a six-year old kid, just getting his adult teeth for the first time. (Setting: Typical Minot, ND Toga Party. Late May, no snow on the ground, but the Aurora Borealis are in full spectacular view. Time is near 12:30PM) [Enter **Tripler**] _Tripler_: Hey Phil, where’s Sammy? I gotta ask him something. _Phil_: I don’t know. Last I saw him, he was talking to Annie. _Scott_: Yo **Trip** , he’s downstairs! _Tripler_: Hey thanksshhhhhhhhhhhhweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (cue to steam whistle track). . . WHOA! Sorry, 'bout that. Thanks man! [Exit a highly embarrased **Tripler**] Good Lord, I damn near busted everyone’s eardrums. And it happens so infrequently, I can’t figure out what makes it happen. I know it usually occurs when I say “sh” or even less so with a “s”. This is freaky. Anybody else have this happen? All I want for Christmas is a mouthguard and facemask. Tripler But I prolly won’t wear 'em. ---

Th same thing used to happen to me when I was little. I think it just stopped, but I don’t know why. It will probably go away with time. ---

They are fixed if they do that. Go back to your dentist and tell him you want it to stop. Unless you like it. ---

I just think I’m _the_ shit, being that I lost my teeth on a highstick in a hockey game. I also have been making a lot of typos in the meantime. Must be the concussion. Tripler I’ve broken myself in more ways in the past 2 years than I care to admit. ---

Trip, if you go back to the dentist, he can fix the problem. Likely, it’s the shape of the teeth that’s doing it. Robin, who lost hers to a tragic trampoline accident ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tripler \* > \*\* > > Damned nitnoids. … > > \*\* I really didn’t mean it as a slam against you or your typing abilities (I’m certainly not perfect myself). It just struck me as funny. When I first saw the subject line, and before I read your post, I thought you really were referring to someone as “Mr recently fixed teeth”. ---

No concussion. Just a lot of blood. But I’ll have you know I skated the last two shifts of the game without two teeth. . . Tripler It was late in the 3rd anyway . . . ---

Which teeth? I have visions of Esa Tikkanen dancing in my head. 😉 Mmmmmm…hockey players… :::drool::: (well, MOST hockey players…Not Esa so much :)) ---

[These](http://www.oswald.minot.com/Noteeth2.jpg) teeth under my left nostril. Snapped 'em clean off, too. The blood came from the cut on top of my lip, but more like a geyser from the cut on the _inside_ of my lip. Tripler And yes, I am trying to look freaky in this picture.
