Title: Episode 144: Knowledge Is A Disease, I Have The Cure
Post by: Lemon on July 20, 2014, 04:09:29 pm: with Boots Raingear, John Toast, Victor Laszlo, Jimmyfranks, and Lemon.

The American medical apparatus is a frequenct source of discussion and consternation. We all want to be healthy and live long lives, but when for-profit institutions are supposed to help us with that goal, it's easy to get disillusioned. Lucky for us (and by us I mean the podcast), there's the eHealth forums. If you got a problem, and the only thing you're looking for is idiocy and crappy advice, boy do they ever provide. This week, The F Plus wants you to sniff our beer can.

MUSIC USED

The bowler hat will be delicately positioned to cover your third nipple.

Unless you're actually a fictional character (e.g. Twilight Sparkle)

I'll say this for the gum mutilators, they've got a pretty sweet gig worked out. The more you stab yourself with sharp things, the more time you're gonna have the spend at the dentist, where presumably they'll be poking around trying to figure out what the hell happened in your mouth. It's an endless cycle of bliss.... until you start hitting bone.

Post by: scratchohey on July 22, 2014, 02:53:47 am: The gum abuse feels a lot more like a compulsive habit than a sexual thing; notice how often nail-biting gets mentioned as well. As someone with nervous habits like that, I got the phantom gum-tingles like a minute into that section and it was just so unbearable and holy shit I keep trying to rub them with the collar of my shirt now kiiiiilll meeee
Title: Episode 144: Knowledge Is A Disease, I Have The Cure
Post by: Sovereign on July 22, 2014, 04:10:43 am: It was definitely some kind of obsessive compulsive thing, I don't believe these people derive sexual pleasure from it. I'm sure there are people who have gum mutilation fantasies, but this probably isn't it. It reminds me of people who chew the skin on the fingers until they're bloody. Equally as cringey, though.

They sung "wax like a Brazilian" in that tune twice and mentioned Weird Al not making that parody.

No.

My beard is typically soaked in whisky.

Post by: Alpha Starsquatch on July 31, 2014, 05:53:06 pm: I think I've figured out what organ that one crazy person was talking about. The critical clue was that it was located "near out-throat". Now if I'm remembering Dr. Portaxx's anatomy class properly, the "out throat" is a European word for the foreskin. Ergo, that organ filtering water to our lungs is the penis.

Are British teeth really that bad? I haven't exactly been dazzled by shining American whites whenever I've been in the States. I mean, I'm not exactly a great representative of the state of aesthetic dentistry of the UK myself, but I haven't had a cavity in my life and my teeth are more or less where they should be.

I'm as confused about this as apparently everyone else is about Heinz Baked B-- okay, wrong thread.

Post by: moooo566 (taylor's version) on February 29, 2016, 08:08:06 am: I think british teeth look worse than they are. From a health point of view, I'm free of cavities and more or less free of everything else bad. My teeth are pretty yellow though. I don't know whether it's some non-harmful staining thing or less whitening toothpaste or a bad dentist or what, but the dentist seems to be fine with them even though they look pretty bad.
