The Life of Lou Ruppert

Today, while I was paying the dentist for a nice waterboarding session, I was seeing if I could use my imagination to fool myself into thinking something else was going on. The way I see it, if you can’t have fun in the dentist’s chair, you’re going to spend your entertainment dollars on something much worse for your teeth. So, as I was laying on my back, I’d picture myself at the beach, or maybe on a spaceship (hey, I’m a geek). Does anyone else do this? Or do people just sit there thinking “Yep. There’s another whirring power tool grinding down my face. Hey, sharp metal…cool!” I hate the water thing the most, so as I sat there watching the water droplets spraying out of my mouth while the masked lady played Operation with my head, I asked myself “What does that look like?” The answer I came up with was a flock of birds taking off like they do when something is chasing them. So I imagined my mouth to be a canyon, with a little waterfall and some trees (probably why I needed the cleaning) and a flock of birds that would occasionally need to fly out of there quickly. Before I knew it, I was done.

And for my integrity in posting daily, I’m now late for my weekly tradition of Friday at Clark’s Ale House with my friends. It’s a fun gathering of different people I know, kind of like the Superfriends. Only our Hall of Justice has beer taps, and nobody is in their pajamas. Usually.
