Of course it’s not a threat. Under the new rules it is of course, a threat to send flowers. Thread will be closed. ---

This thread packs a lot of bizzare into a very small place. ---

I hereby ambiguously threaten everyone in this thread…ominously. With something ominous. I like typing ominous. And saying it. Ominous. Ominous. Ominous. ---

> [@Projammer](#): > > I just considered it a bit of mental exercise. > > Certainly trivial, but still several notches above anything on freep. It was just a silly thread, I thought, wondering whether many movies have shown something that’s a common part of daily life but rarely seen in movies or on TV. Obviously movies and TV don’t show every event in a character’s life, but sometimes you’d get the impression that TV characters never ever need to eat, brush their teeth or go to the toilet. On the run from the law? Never mind - after days of adrenaline-high chases and occasional snatched sleep in a corner, the female lead will still kiss you despite your breath smelling more than a skunk who’s rolled in horseshit. 😃 ---

On Thursday night, I attended “Heaven on Earth” wtih a dentis and a dental assistant. Early on in the movie, there were a couple of tooth brushing scenes. Things went downhill from there, for after all the excitement of two, count them, two, tooth brushing scenes, my sacroiliac went out, resulting in a hospital visit (the dentist and the dental assistant not being able to do anything for ir) So to directors who have tooth brushing scenes in your movies, I expectorate in your general direction. ---

[Vivien Leigh - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivien_Leigh) “Miss Leigh also complained in her letters of Gable’s bad breath due to his dentures.” Well, I don’t think the actors themselves had been living in the same conditions as their characters. ---

> [@Polerius](#): > > Your “pithy” retort doesn’t work because he asked you where he can send the flowers. Assuming the flowers require some period of time in transit, he could order the flowers for his own funeral, then be killed and have them arrive. So it’s feasible. ---

So I take it my new “Movies where an extra in the third scene has mostly-hazel-but-slightly-off-color eyes” thread idea is out of the question now? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/uh-cafe-society-tooth-brushing-thread/482595.md?page=1)
