George Washington's Choppers

Holy Smokes! George Washington had quite the contraption in his mouth! Plus, that ain't wood: his actual lower denture was carved from Hippopotamus ivory. Check the laser scanning HERE. He was in mouthpain most of his life, eventually losing ALL his teeths to make room for more and more complex contraptions. The Clements Library in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has a letter from General George in 1781 asking for some utensils to help better manage his chopper situation. You can have a close-up look at his home, Mount Vernon, all redone and 21st centuryized. The estate is looking grand and I can't wait to go again. Gonna take The Rebel south down GW Pkwy and roll til I hit the spot. They've really done it up proper down there now. Not just teeths, but wonderful new full-body representations of what he looked like and some thoughtful activity programs. Fantastic stuff.

It's like using Flock with Photobucket: the shit just feels nice. >Smoooth, like a pane of glass, I'm gonna kick yer ass if you try and skip my class, I'll be yer knight in shining armour, smokin' marijuana, whispering sweetnothings cuz you knows that I'm the charmer< ~ Adam Hussain steppin' in there, y'alls ... Today I also learned how much Walter hates G'Ford. "HE was the one who forgave HIM!" he bellowed in the halls. "Dick was down, right where we wanted him, and HE comes in and FORGIVES HIM?! Screw that, we all said. We were ready to go down to DC to perform what FORD stopped: Nixon's punishment. HE LET HIM GO! Unforgivable ... " /shakes fist at ceiling, eyes squeezing shut hard and pained ...
