Is Cleaning Teeth Like Cleaning Toes?

Posted by Camp Anawanna on March 5th, 2010. Filed under Rants

So I was at the dentist the other day.
I absolutely dread going to the dentist.
Not necessarily because I have bad teeth problems or anything, more just the creepiness of everything being so damn sterile in there.

Anyways, we got to the end of the cleaning and it was apparently obvious that I…do not floss. I came right out and admitted to not flossing. I’m a steady 2-3 times a day brusher and mouth-washer as well, but flossing just is not my thing.

That’s when something even stranger happened.
The dentist tried to persuade me into flossing by saying:
“You wouldn’t take a shower without cleaning between your toes right? Well it’s the same thing with your teeth.”

That took me by surprise. I love showers…LOVE’EM. I also Consider myself a pretty clean person too. But shit…I don’t ACTIVELY take the time to clean between my toes when I shower. They’re right there sopping up all the soap and water from the rest of the washing…I didn’t think they needed their own attention.

Now I’m wondering if I’m in the wrong here and have been a filthy animal all this time.
So I raise the question to you Zubaz readers: Do you purposely clean between your toes?

Chillwave Troubadours Neon Indian

For those whose musical tastes come directly from the TV and radio, there’s a brand new revolution in music thats happening right before your eyes on the internet.  Thanks in a large part to a social media boom with the likes of Facebook, Blip.FM and Twitter…a whole new legion of artists and buzz bands now have the opportunity to reach ears they never otherwise could have.

If this new genre were a ship, it would be docked at a huge hipster seaport in Brooklyn, NY; And if you had to pick a crew of scallywags to maintain the ships course, that bunch would be Neon Indian, an Austin, TX band who’re proving that Animal Collective and MGMT aren’t the only ones quirky enough for the masses.

Late last year they released their debut album, “Psychic Chasms” and after a few listens through, you can’t help but get excited for their sophomore follow-up.

Seriously, I challenge you to not like this song:

Man In Box

Looking to kill a few minutes this afternoon?  Check this out.

Man In Box is the brainchild of British TV presenter and DJ Tim Shaw and a few of his friends.

The Concept: Tim is locked inside a box that looks to be about 2 feet tall, 7 feet long and maybe 4 feet wide?  Ok, ok the point is…it’s REALLY small.  He will be in the box for 30 days and 30 nights.

He was driven around for 10 hours blindfolded before being put in the box, which is in an secret location.  The only information Tim has of his own whereabouts is that it’s somewhere in the UK he’s been before.

Inside the box with him is around $30k.  Anyone watching, at anytime, can attempt to guess where Tim is by dropping a pin on a Google map and hoping for the best.  Guess correctly, and the red light you see in the box turns green, Tim is immediately let out, and you…win that cold hard cash. Considering you have the entire UK to choose from, it’s nearly impossible to simply guess at his location and expect to be right….and much to Tim’s chagrin…he’s still got 20 days left.

PRESS PLAY ON THE BOX BELOW TO WATCH THE LIVE FEED
If it’s dark…that probably means it’s lights out…so come back later or hit the official site for a 12 hr. delay feed to see what Tim was up to earlier. He’s always trying to come up with hints about his location in hopes that someone might let him free.
