As I sit here compulsively eating my Licorice Bites Twizzlers...

Well. I had typed out this whole witty thing on how tired I was because of watching a few movies last night, and then having to cram for a spanish test afterwards, using many product placements and random quotes from Twelfth Night, which I have to read for today's English class, but guess what... my computer hates me. I wanted to preview my entry to make sure I had made no glaring errors, but when I turned off my popup blocker, it wiped my entry clean. Unfortunately I have no energy to be upset.

Random thought no doubt induced by an overdose of licorice and too little sleep--

Okay. If a person has their wisdom teeth out, and a few years later they get scurvy, what happens? This has consumed me ever since the initial hypercodone high wore off...

If my brain's working better later, I'll update some more... maybe.

arrgh, you yeller-bellied scurvy dog!

Why would having one's wisdom teeth removed cause scurvy? As one who's had their teeth removed, I'm curious.

Wait-- what? No!

Okay, okay... I apparently was not clear. So someone has their wisdom teeth out. Then, later, in an unrelated incident, gets scurvy [caused by a severe lack of vitamin c, so... I really doubt one could get it as a result of having teeth out. Sorry to mislead anyone.]. My question is what happens to this person? Scurvy [medical lesson time!] causes old wounds to re-open and ooze. It also makes your gums go all funny and teeth come out easily. So, my question... if you already have teeth out, do those wounds reopen? Do they do something different from what your gums are already doing? Do I need a nap? Answers at five.

ohhhh

Well don't I feel sheepish? And I'm a science major. Fie, for shame!

Also, "Kidnap the Sandy Claws,
lock him up real tight
Throw away the key and then
Turn off all the lights...

Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Throw him in a box
Bury him for ninety years
Then see if he talks...

Kidnap the Sandy Claws
Tie him in a bag
Throw him in the ocean
Then see if he is sad...

Kidnap the Sandy Claws, chop him into bits
Mr. Oogie Boogie is sure to get his kicks
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see
Lock him in a cage and then throw away the key."

Aww.... you feel sheepish? You're not the one who apparently knows a freakish amount about scurvy...

In this town, we call home, everyone hail to the Pumpkin Song.

La, la, la, lalala, la, la, lalala, la, la, lalalalalala...
