This week in Hammer land
My dog Chula started acting weird this weekend, and by Monday she was barely moving and would squeal if anyone touched her. I was afraid she was poisoned or something. I took her to our good vet that has saved Marvin's ass many times. After an exam and X-rays she determined she had a bruised back. The dog got some type of pain pills /anti inflammatory and she was up wagging her tail in about 20 minutes.
My wife had a dentist appointment right we finished at the Vet so I drove her over and walked the dog around while she was fitted for a new crown. I could see through the window that there was some dude in the dentist office getting a "grill" installed..It was platinum with diamonds The guy walked out and axed his girlfriend: "hey baby hows muh teef looks?" I tried not to laugh too hard. But that shit is fucking ridiculous.
I never knew those things were installed by dentists..I thought they came out of gumball machines.
Since my wife is on vacation, we went to a new Thai restaurant for lunch.the place was nice, the food was fresh but wasn't seasoned..which I thought was very odd.
I'm going to stick with the hole in the wall place that has traditional cuisine. I don't care if the wallpaper is peeling and the carpet is threadbare, I go to a place for quality food and service.
I went and stocked up on Cigars and pipe tobacco today, the guy at the shop said that on April 1 most Cigars will go up 48 cents to 78 cents each. I'm 10 times screwed because I buy these little tins of 10 cigarillos.. a tin costs $8 now with the tax on each cigar they estimate the new price will be anywhere from $13 to $17. I hope that doesn't end up being the case. I don't think the lung cancer problems in this country have anything with cigars and pipe tobacco but they are only raising the tax on a pack of regular cigarettes 61 cents.
Humbuggery!
Oh well.. here's a video.

Great video. I had a crown on one of my teef last week.
Make yourself a small humidor and stock up. I made one from a 48 quart cooler years back and it worked great for stocking up. Looked ghetto, but I didn't care. I just use a pair of smaller humidors now to save space.
Welcome back Hammer.
You were missed.
Do you think the bad grammar is a personal choice or a result of the grill? Either way, makes him look like an idiot.
You disappear for months at a time and then wham - 0 - 60 in no time. Sorry about the dog - My last dog had a real sore back and got a shot of demerol - after that, we gave him a baby aspirin when he'd start to stiffen up and it did the trick (at vet's suggestion)
I feel for you with the SCHIP tax increase. I now have to include that in my budget when I shop for my cigars. And I refuse to buy the crappy ones. They don't have to be top shelf, just better than "dog rockets."
Don't understand the grills. Another way for the dentist to make a buck I guess...
If cigars weren't so damn expensive I might just move to your neighborhood for the humor factor!
Wreggie: Sorry to hear about your trip to the dentist. I'm lucky that I have no major issues so far.
Jeff: Good idea. I actually have an old one I can convert. I just need to learn to keep that humidty right.
beachgirl: thanks!
terri: I think it was just part of the whole charming urban thing.
Jeannie: the dog was running laps and jumping like a track star today.I'm thinking about stealing one of her pills ;) I'll remember the aspirin trick.
Mike: Dog rockets! LOL I once tried to smoke one of those giant novelty cigars, it was about about a foot long...tasted like it was filled with dog shit.
Dana: It's always a laugh a minute here in hammer land.
You know, I'll take the hole-in-the-wall-threadbare-carpeted-wallpaper-peeling place any day of the week if the food is *good*.
I had a kid in class today ask if he could axe me a question. I told him only if he didn't hurt me.
Nothing quite like eating in a 'hole in the wall' joint...almost like being at home(without having to do the dishes!)
I'm naive to the whole grill concept; since I'm to the point in life where my cavities are being replaced with crowns...these days when I visit my dentist, I pop a valium on my way. Life is good!

I thought I was the only one who saw crazy, stupid people everywhere I go! That guy at the dentist office would have got a glare from me, I have nothing but contempt for nonsense like that. A guy in my Lit class has dread locks, I want to razor his head soooo bad!
p.s. The guy with dreads is white.
And to think I was mortified when I almost got fitted with braces, since people I knew with them had to spend 30 minutes meticulously cleaning their teeth to make sure they didn't rot, which was a better chance since there was wire and bases to hold gunk.
Oh, well, I don't reckon the people who get grills live past 30 in the gangsta paradise, so who cares what fool thing they do with their teeth. And if they're dumb enough to install real gold and diamonds, they're in for a hurting when someone tries to rob them with a pair of pliers and a gun. And God help him if he goes to prison: "Geez, you sure do have a pretty mouth (for real)."
Actually, that would be entertaining to watch, but I am a bad ole puddy cat who has a high tolerance for pain, as long as it's not his own.
grills are too funny. YOu don't see them much here
Here you want to do that and your momma slaps it right out of your mouth.
Seems to work for us
epijunky: when they focus on the food it is so much better.
h20: Ugh I know they can say ass and I know they can say cuh so WTF is their issue?
airman mom: No kidding, he holes in the wall I go to are so good I feel like I'm being fed from someone's home kitchen.
Becky: Wiggers! The bane of mankind.
MTS I would laugh my ass off if I saw one of these "urban youff" be robbed of their teeth.
Snowmanpoop: Yeah where are their mamas? They need the "teef" slapped right out of them.
Now I know why I dont smoke anymore. I havent had a cig in 13 years come June.. yayy me..
I hate dentists. I have an oral surgery coming on Friday to have my Wisdom Teeth pulled. Just the upper ones for now. They are classified as just an extraction but ia m so damned nervous i am having them knock me out for it..
My Shih-tzu hurt his back like that once. It's crazy, one minute they're fine, the next they're wimpering and not moving.
tweety: I had mine pulled and I wish I had been knocked out. I hope it goes easy for you.
katcampbell: It's like they don't want you to see that their hurt.
Hammer!,
Thanks for giving me the insight! Looks like I am going to break out a cigar ASAP....
Awwww, poor doggie - he was having such fun chasing that rabbit ! :)
flyinfox: smoke em if you got em ;)
annie: Dream rabbits sure are hard to catch!
With my new knowledge of 'dog' that was a good one. In the future, could you please avoid any mention of teeth, crowns and dentists in general.....I much prefer the dogs.
Cheers
Taxes, dogs, & dentists. That covers it.
Ham~ check out Bizkit's other vids.. the barking in sleep is way funny too! Poor guy..Glad your wee pup is ok!
Yea, if I wasn't broke I'd be buyin' many boxes of cigars, but it'll have to wait till after Tuesday. Bummer, but what can ya do?
If you ask (excuse me: "axe") your dog how she feels, she'll say "Ruf!"
Don't forget to tip your waiter, folks. ;-)
