Mark works as a [REDACTED] for [REDACTED], currently residing in Iowa. CoffeeBear.net is a place for him to blather on about whatever strikes his fancy. He currently spends his "free" time working on a photography project, playing with his cat and attempting to keep his wife happy (not necessarily in that order).

Our office admin at work has a candy basket on her desk. It gets filled (and emptied) on a fairly regular basis. Today a bag of Easter (Peanut) M&Ms was added to it. I swung by and grabbed a couple to brighten up my morning and noticed some of the M&Ms had little sheep heads printed on them. So with apologize to Dr. Demento, I give you “Sheep Heads”

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

In the morning, laughing happy sheep heads
In the evening, floating in the soup

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Ask a sheep head anything you want to
They won’t answer, they can’t talk

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

I took a sheep head out to see a movie,
Didn’t have to pay to get it in

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

They can’t play baseball, they don’t wear sweaters
They’re not good dancers, they don’t play drums

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Rolly Polly sheep heads are never seen drinking cappuccino in
Italian restaurants with Oriental women.
Yeeaahh

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Yum!

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yumm!

Sheep heads, sheep heads, rolly polly sheep heads
Sheep heads, sheep heads, eat them up
Yummmm!

Yeeaahh

While cleaning out the spam folder on one of my email accounts, I ran across a piece of spam with this particularly amusing subject line:

Be confident with Soft Viagra

Soft Viagra? Does that defeat the whole point of taking Viagra? 😀

-4 and heavily overcast here in Iowa. I could see a smudge of lighter colored clouds but that was it. *sigh* I guess I’ll be trying again in 2010.

In response to Shaky Eclipse by John Scalzi.

Throbbing sinuses
Drills screeching away
Constant vibration
Flying bits of tooth dust
Burnt scent wafting upwards

As mentioned previously, I broke a tooth. So I got to spend a good chunk of Valentines day in the dentist’s office getting a temporary crown installed, but for extra fun I woke up with a massive sinus headache. I refused to take anything for the headache before I went to the dentist as I didn’t want to risk any weird drug interaction issues with the anesthetic the dentist used on me. When I went in for my appointment and was taken past the waiting room, I noticed we were going towards a different part of the dentist’s office then I’d been in for my initial examination. I commented to that this must be the way to the punishment rooms. The dentist laughed but did not deny my allegation. I was setup in a chair, had some nasty mint numbing medication rubbed into my gums, given multiple injections of the anesthetic, watched the Colbert Report on a small LCD TV they had overhead; while they drilled, ground, scrapped and poked around in my mouth. When they were all done, I had three new fillings in my teeth as well as the temporary crown. All in all, it has to be the least romantic Valentines day I can remember.

I’d really like to end this post with a bright side, but I just can’t quite think of one at the moment. The closest I can come up with is I’ve learned my lesson and will be making regular visits to the dentist in the future. Hopefully those regular visits will allow me to avoid this sort of fun in the future.
