In Mediaeval Britain, being "gap-toothed" was considered sexy. Chaucer's "Wife of Bath" says (in modern English):
"Gap - toothed I was, and that became me well;
I had the print of holy Venus' seal"
...and she then goes on to describe how sexy she is.
Obviously, British dental practices have not recovered from Mediaeval times

In most areas of physical attractiveness, I think perfection is boring. Perfectly straight teeth is actually one of strangest things to me, because they look so…unnatural.

I could go on and on about it, but I’ll just stop there.

I agree.
Although I wouldn’t complain if I took a step or three in that general direction

Yes, but you are an Anglophile -- the biggest Anglophile I've ever known. Straight teeth are probably too American for you.

I had horrible teeth as a kid. I actually had too many teeth for my mouth. Before I got braces, four teeth were removed. The whole process sucked, but I have no regrets -- and they are certainly not perfect, but they are straight.

Funny side note: Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs, Fargo, The Big Lebowski) has horrible teeth. When he reached a point where he could afford to fix his teeth, he decided not to, because he believed his bad teeth helped him get the quirky roles that have earned him success.

See, those teeth look great to me…how teeth should look - each one unique.

Here’re mine:

Tops are fine, bottoms are crowded, but they work and they’re mine and mine alone!

The waitress saw me taking that pic and she laughed and laughed at the tooth conversation. She also showed me hers ( ) and is also in the camp of slightly off-white and crooked rules!

We hadn't watched Worst Cooks on the FN in years, but I saw something on 1 of the commercials that I wanted to see how the cook handled the disaster. I don’t think we have laughed so hard for a long time. I have been crying on and off because of laughing so hard at the antics.

That sounds like a challenge, to me.

I can appreciate the volume he’s getting in that near-pompadour he’s got going on.

I started Star Treks Strange New Worlds because it was Whimsy Wednesday yesterday (and I accidentally got that paramount) and Mr SSOAP wanted to see it.
I was pleasantly surprised. I’m not a fan of the new Star Trek stuff (but obviously adore the original stuff with the Shat) and yet I enjoyed it. The characters are interesting enough to keep me engaged. I look forward to next Wednesday!

We're working on catching up with Discovery by starting at the beginning since we never watched the last season. I alternate subscribing between Disney and Paramount. The last season of Discovery will start in April. We'll start Strange New Worlds once we caught up on Discovery since SNW is a continuation/branch off of Discovery. Plus, there's nothing wrong with watching Anson Mount!

We watched the movie Old last weekend, from M. Night Shyamalan - intriguing concept/story, but executed poorly, both MrsT and I thought.

We already have Dune scheduled for Saturday night.

I’m not familiar with Anson Mount?
