It's the Golden Gape Bridge!
Here's the bridge, hanging out with some drill bits, pliers, a
mylar bite strip (the shiny thing at the end of the pliers) and
a small mirror-on-a-stick. Not much left to do but cement it
into my mouth.
Kinda purty, ain't it? Gold nuggets just don't ever seem to look
ugly, even when they're shaped like my teeth. As just a lump of gold,
however, this thing really isn't worth all that much. It's the time
of all the people involved in creating and installing it that makes
one of these things cost what they do. (About the same as your basic
latest-technology home computer - doesn't everyone compare their
current expenditures against their next PC upgrade?)
As the Duralon bonding agent sets up and seals the bridge onto
my teeth for a long time to come, I clamp it into place by
chomping down on some good old fashioned wooden blocks.
All done! Yeehaw! Bagfulls of Snicker's Bars, mouthfuls of boiling hot
coffee, and triple-decker ice cream cones, here I come!
