if anyone knows what the hell this is about, please explain further.
is it that someone is ok with this person because their grin is white enough to blind the person so they don’t have to look at their ugly mug?
or am I completely off the mark?
I’d say you’re right on, zzz.
while there is technically a compliment, I suppose that counts as a bitch.
only a bitch would say
” DAMN! you ugly but you have white teeth.”
American McGee’s Alice! Right on! 🙂
I hate people who do that in-home bleaching shit. Teeth aren’t supposed to be as white as bleached cotton.
“You’ve gone quite mangy, cat…but your grin’s a comfort.”
It’s a quote from the book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
I think it’s simply a comment on bleached teeth being too bright (unnatural).
Bleached teeth on overly tanned people is pretty scary, I know. All you see is teeth (like the Cheshire cat).
Especially the faked tan set, who often forget to tan their hands as well as their face.
those fake tans look well fake…really orange and glowing white teeth too, scary all hallows eve shite
and when they glow in the blacklight ala Ross.
creepy.
Ya but what’s with this new vampire trend? Really light make-up selling out everywhere because people are trying to look white, literally? Can’t we find a happy, healthy, sun-kissed medium?
wanna be real popular,have no teeth and try licking something cute,with mouth closed.instant hit with ladies i guess.
are you talkin about your cats sucks? mine have 2 teeth each but they are old
I had a boss that looked like the chesire cat when he grinned…which was rather creepy, but I never found it a comfort, it made me wanna gag
When I see some people’s bleached smile, I remember Mr.Wilson smiling with two chiclets glued into where the two front teeth used to be (Denis the Menace movie). It makes me smile.
ah yes walter matthau he was/is a funny guy…one of those is he dead???
Yup, died in 2000 at 80 (he was still working that year!). He was especially funny in Grumpy Old Man = )
i loved the odd couple too
