Mommy!...I Really Did See A Monster Under The Dental Chair!...Part 1.

Just getting back from the supermarket with a pack of chocolate chip cookies and popcorn, you sit down, then recline in your comfy recliner and turn on this week's dental drama, so that your "I really like dreaming often about me flying with my arms outstretched above the houses in the city, but my only worry is staying away from the power lines" smile can be thoroughly entertained by continuing the previous preface adventure found in ""Astrodentites!"..."The Teeth" of Supermassive Black Holes, Discovered By Astronomer/Dentist!" and THAT IS WHERE CAPTAIN HSR, THE HANDSOME AND VIRTUAL HOMO CYBERGRAPHICUS, IS RIDING ALONG IN HIS INTERGALACTIC SUPERSTAR CRUISER, THE "BLACK TACHYON,"


AND HE IS SUDDENLY PAID A SURPRISE VISIT BY AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE, LAZERIA BLUE,


FROM THE ZOOMERIA CLUSTER, AND SHE DOES THIS BY INSTANTANEOUSLY ENTERING THE BLACK TACHYON'S PROTECTIVE FORCE FIELD IN HER "CELESTIAL CONDENSER" SPACE SHIP


WHICH EMPLOYS CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY THAT OVERCOMES LINEAR SPACE TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS, BY ALLOWING IT TO TRANSMUTATE AND JUST "SHOW UP," FULL STRENGTH, AT PREDETERMINED COORDINATES, ANYWHERE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE,


AND LAZERIA WARNS CAPTAIN HSR TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT HIS UPCOMING SECRETIVE HAUL OF THE SUPER-RARE AND POWERFUL 120-PROTON ELEMENT WINGNIUM, AND HSR WONDERS IF THE SHIPMENT IS SO SECRET, HOW DOES EVEN SHE KNOW ABOUT IT (?) ...



...SO HSR THANKS HER AND PROMISES TO GET TOGETHER WITH HER IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT AS SHE SAYS GOODBYE AND LEAVES, SHE SURREPTITIOUSLY TAKES HIS "RESOURCE POUCH" FROM HIS POCKET, SORT OF LIKE THIS,


...BUT KNOWING THAT SHE IS A SLY FOX, HSR PLANTS A GALACTIC GPS SENSOR ON HER SUIT TO KEEP HIM AWARE OF HER LOCATION, THEN SHE JUST "DISAPPEARS" BACK ONTO HER SHIP, AND IN THREE SECONDS, HER SHIP "DISAPPEARS" WITH A "POOF" INTO THE DARK COSMOS,


...SO NOW HSR NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHO LEAKED THE CLASSIFIED WINGNIUM HAUL INFO AT HEADQUARTERS...


...AND AFTER ARRIVING BACK THERE, CAPTAIN HSR TELLS HIS STORY TO COMMANDER WHIPLEY...


...WHO SEEMS TO SHOW ONLY PERFUNCTORY CARE AND CONCERN ABOUT THE UPCOMING TRANSFER OF THE WINGNIUM PROPERTY, BUT HSR KNOWS THAT TOP DOLLAR WILL BE PAID BY INTERSTELLAR PIRATES, AND OTHER ROGUE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ABLE TO GET THEIR HANDS ON THE MILITARY-ADVANTAGE-PRODUCING WINGNIUM STUFF, AND AT THE END OF THE DEBRIEFING, COMMANDER WHIPLEY SAYS, "WE STILL PLAN TO GO ON WITH THE SHIPMENT, HOWEVER, WE WILL EMPLOY DECOY SHIPS MOST OF THE WAY THERE, AND THE COUNCIL HAS DECIDED TO ASSIGN A SOLID SOLDIER TO AID YOU IN THIS MATTER...MAJOR... WILL YOU PLEASE ENTER"...


                 
"CAPTAIN HSR," CONTINUES COMMANDER WHIPLEY, "MAJOR SWEE HERE, WILL ASSIST YOU IN EVERY WAY TO ENSURE THAT THE WINGNIUM GETS TO ITS PROPER DESTINATION, AND YES, CAPTAIN HSR, I KNOW THAT YOU WOULD PREFER TO WORK ALONE, BUT THIS EDICT COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE TOP!," AND HSR THINKS, "STRAIGHT FROM THE TOP, EH?...MAYBE THEY'RE THE ONES PLANNING THE HIJACK!"...

THEN HSR EXTENDS HIS HAND TO GREET MAJOR SWEE, AND SHE SMILES A LITTLE, AND SHE SAYS,  "GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE, CAPTAIN HSR...I'M FROM THE STIXX SECTION OF THE SIXTY-NINTH NEBULA,"


AND HSR SAYS, "THAT PLACE?...THE FIRST "SPACE GHETTO?", WHERE THE MOST FEROCIOUS FIGHTERS ON THIS SIDE OF THE UNIVERSE COME FROM?, WELL, IN THAT CASE, I'M GLAD TO HAVE YOU!,"

COMMANDER WHIPLEY THEN STATES, "GOOD LUCK ON YOUR MISSION, SOLDIERS...I MUST GO NOW."...

...HSR THINKS TO HIMSELF THAT HE HAS TO WATCH HIS BACK NOW, BECAUSE HE HAS AN UNEASY FEELING ABOUT THE COMMANDER AND THE HIGHER UPS...AND THE NEW MAJOR WORKING WITH ME...WELL, HER KIND ARE QUICK TO SEND THEIR ADVERSARIES INTO NEXT WORLD...WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED!...

...SO NOW, HSR, HIS CREW, AND MAJOR SWEE ALL HEAD INTO HIS SPACESHIP, THE BLACK TACHYON, AND GET SET TO TAKE OFF WITH THE WINGNIUM...

CAPTAIN HSR ALL OF A SUDDEN GETS A GUT FEELING TO GO AND CHECK OUT THE WINGNIUM CONTAINERS, SO HE TELLS MAJOR SWEE AND THE OTHERS THAT HE'LL BE IN THE SHIP'S CONTROL ROOM SHORTLY...

HE GOES TO THE LEVEL WHERE THE WINGNIUM IS KEPT AND TAKES A LOOK AT THE CONTAINERS...


AND HE TAKES A LOOK INSIDE ONE OF THE SUBUNITS...


AND, SEEING IT IN HIS OWN HOT LITTLE HANDS, HE DIRECTLY WITNESSES WINGNIUM'S HUNGRY, CHURNING, AND SCARY POWERS...


"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, CAPTAIN HSR," SAYS A VOICE RIGHT BEHIND HIM..."I WANT YOU TO TURN AROUND REAL SLOW, AND SET THE SUBUNIT DOWN, THEN BACK AWAY LIKE A NICE LITTLE SOLDIER, OKAY!"...

SO HSR, KNOWING THAT THE WINGNIUM IS "PLANET-SHATTERINGLY" EXPLOSIVE, DOES AS HE IS TOLD AND SETS IT DOWN REALLY SLOW AND LOOKS AT THE PERSON WANTING TO TAKE IT...


AND SHE LOOKS DEADLY SERIOUS...

"YOU'VE GOT SOME BALLS...JUST COMING IN HERE RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES AND TAKING THIS STUFF," LAMENTS HSR...

"OH, I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME, TOO, PRETTY BOY," CHIDES THE WINGNIUM THIEF...

AND THEY BOTH "DISAPPEAR" INTO THIN AIR, AND ONTO HER WAITING SHIP...


...JUST LIKE LAZERIA BLUE DID, AND...POOF!


...JUST LIKE THAT!...THEY AND THE WINGNIUM ARE GONE!
                                                                                                                           Back to Love Toothbrush®                                                        










"I just ate some food a little while ago, and it...came in handy!"







Hello everyone. My real name is Rio Acalanzazonabonavich, and one day, my older stepsister, who likes me sometimes, but sometimes not, was asked to take me to the dentist for a check up and cleaning, and she told my Mom, "Sure, I can take him, and I have just the right dentist in mind" while she looks at me with a look in her eye that I couldn't quite understand.

So we get into the car, and the sun is bright and shiny, and we drive a ways, and later, we stop at a sort of eerie-looking place...



...then the weather all of a sudden changes for the worse...and my stepsister tells me to get out of the car and go in by myself. and that they are expecting me.

"Don't you have to sign some papers?" I ask.

And she says, "Rio, all of that's already done! I'll come back in an hour. See ya!" And she burns rubber to get out of there in a hurry.

So, I, with wide eyes, turn around and survey the scene carefully, because this place looks sort of scary, and...I don't see any other patients coming in or going out.

Now, I'm walking down the path to the office and...OMG!...a person in pain is caught in tree form...


...which, I must say, is not good PR for a dental office...and right here!...on the other side!...


...is this one trying to tell me a message?...I'm keeping my ears and eyes open!...

I make it to the stairs and slowly climb them, some of them squeaky, and finally, I reach the top and the front door.

There is no doorbell button to press in sight, so I look up a little higher, and I see a heavy door knocker that looks like it's at least 200 years old,


So I knock it against the door...twice!

...and the bang gives a deep and loud echo...loud enough to almost wake up the you-know-who!

Whoa!...the door slowly and creakily opens by itself...with a starting low sound that shrieks higher...eerrrrrrrrrrrr...

A voice speaks out...It says, "Come on in Mr. Rio, we've been waiting for you...just walk down the hall!"


Walking cautiously for a long way, and passing by many closed doors, I finally reach a door on the right.

"Hi there, Mr. Rio. My name is Blanca, Blanca Molaris. I'm your dental nurse today."


"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Molaris," I say back, showing my best manners.

"Dr. Mout, Dr. Pulla Mout is new to our office. He will be seeing you today...just to check and see how you are taking care of your mouth.

"All of your many papers and insurance long forms...


are in order, so you can continue down the hall and choose a chair that you want to sit in," says Mrs. Molaris, as she gives me a genuine, yet old-world, smile.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Molaris, you are so kind," I say back as I start to leave the room...but I stop and ask one more question, "Am I going to get any shots today?"

Mrs. Molaris looks up from writing on some papers and laughs, "Would you like any?"

"No, Mam," I quickly let it be known.

"Well, Mr. Rio Ascalanzazonabonavich, today is just a check up, so no shots! Dr. Pulla Mout will explain everything to you," she reassures me.

"Gee, you're one of the very few people that get my name right on the first try!" I giggle a little, "See ya!"

So, now, I have a little happier feeling, and I start walking down the hall more...and I see one chair...


But, there's an "Out Of Order" sign on the door, so, I keep walking...and come to another room with an older chair...


"Wow, this dental place looks like it was around maybe during the Revolutionary War!" I think to myself. I decide to keep on going and see more....

What a strange painting on the wall...


...of a thumbsucker!

Going on to the next open door...Shucks!...This one will make me feel like I'm...

                       

... slipping out!...Next!

So, I come to the next room, and this chair...


...is sort of cool, but I'll bet that General George Washington frequented this place! I sit down in the chair, and it's not comfortable at all...and I start to hear some squeaky and muffled noises under the chair...but in a way, I don't want to look...cause at home, when I look under stuff, I imagine the wrong things. It all started out when a strange dog ran in our house off the street...I found him hours later under my bed...


And sometimes, when I go to my friend's house, even today, I'd be scared of the dark and swear that some things were really there by the bed at night...looking at me!...


So, as I'm sitting in this dental chair, the muffled noises are getting louder under it, and it seems like something or someone is trying to tell me something...

So, I get up out of the chair and walk around to the other side...and I see a trap door almost under the chair ...and I lift it up!


But I don't see anyone now, and I take a look down the stairs...


...and it's dark and uncertain...but something inside of me seems to be urgently wanting to go down and investigate!

So I take a couple of steps down and ...Oh no!...The trap door shuts...and it won't open! Stuck!

Now, I tell myself, "Rio, be brave, this is all in your mind." And also, "that just may be the problem!"

When I get to the bottom of the stairs,

...I pry and push the rudely uncooperative door open...of course with some squeak...


And I tip toe in...

Then I barely hear a whispering voice, "Rio, over here, come quickly"

"H...How do you know my name?" I stammer, feeling that something unusual is going to happen...like when I first walked into this place!

Now, I can barely make out something in the shadows...it's a person in a hoodie!



"By the time I say your long name, we might be in immediate danger!" warns a woman with a heavy accent...

"We must leave this place right now...all of us are in danger! Climb aboard!" We gallop swiftly down a cavernous, almost unreal-looking hall!


The woman secretly tells me, "Rio. I will tell you all of what is going on...as soon as we get away from here!"

"But I have to see the Doctor, and my step sister is going to worry!" I plead with her.

"Rio Azacalanzazonabonavich, whether you know it or not, there is a massive conspiracy that you must conquer...

...starting right now!








TO BE CONTINUED!...









May you have many...who do you believe, me or your lying' eyes?...don't do what I do, but do what I say do!...reality is real, only if you want to believe it!...smiles!

Rio Olympic Athletes With The "Goldenest" Smiles!

So, it looks like you're going to have to start waking up early again, what with all of this school stuff starting, and that makes your "you know, I was told to look 15 degrees above the horizon, and suddenly, I found the sky, stars, and the clouds....and my life hasn't been the same ever since" smile, is jealous of HSR because he is FRESH ON SUMMER BREAK AFTER FINISHING HIS FIRST YEAR IN DENTAL SCHOOL, AND HSR IS ASKED BY A CLASS MATE, ARIEL, FROM NEW ZEALAND, IF HE WANTS TO WIN A PRIZE FOR SCUBA DIVING ALL THE WAY AROUND THE THREE KINGS ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND...


...AND PHOTO DOCUMENTING THE TRIP WITH HER TO HELP ASSESS THE HEALTH OF THE CORAL REEFS THERE, AND HSR THINKS ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE, THEN ASKS, "WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?" AND HIS ARIEL REPLIES, "THERE'S A CASH PRIZE, A SCHOLARSHIP TO THE MARINE BIOLOGY INSTITUTE IN AUCKLAND, AND PLUS, I WILL BE FOREVER INDEBTED TO YOU," AND SHE GIVES HIM A WINK AND A SMILE, BUT THEN HSR REMEMBERS THAT HE CAN'T SWIM THAT WELL, AND RECALLS WHEN HE ALMOST DROWNED AT A SUMMER CAMP AS A TEEN...


SO SHE REASSURES HIM THAT SHE'LL HELP HIM GET GOOD AT SCUBAING, AND PLUS THEY'LL STAY CLOSE TO THE SHORE, SO, FEELING  A BIT BETTER, HSR ASKS, "WELL, WHEN ARE YOU FLYING OUT?," "TOMORROW!," SHE REVEALS, AND HSR QUIZZES, "WELL, WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING WITH ME?," "JUST BRING TWO CHANGES OF CLOTHES, AND YOUR HANDSOME SELF, AND THE REST WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU," "WOW," SAYS HSR, "SO, ARIEL, DO I JUST MEET YOU AT THE AIRPORT?," AND SHE SAYS, "AT 10 O'CLOCK PM," SO, THE TIME COMES, AND HSR ARRIVES AT THE AIRPORT...


AND THEY BOTH BOARD A SLEEK CHARTERED JET...


AND HSR SAYS,"WHOA! THIS IS COMFY TO THE MAX! I CAN GET USED TO TRAVELING LIKE THIS!" AND ARIEL SAYS BACK, "WELL ,WE'VE GOT ABOUT AN 11 HOUR FLIGHT, SO DO YOU WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE?" AND HSR SAYS, "SURE, YOU HAVE ANY ACTION STUFF," AND SHE SAYS, "SURE, THE MATRIX, TRANSFORMERS, CAPTAIN AMERICA, AND MY FAVORITE...THE SOUND OF MUSIC!," "WELL, LET'S SEE THE SOUND OF MUSIC FIRST," SAYS HSR, AND THEN HE COMMENCES TO FALL ASLEEP AND SNORE A LITTLE AFTER THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES, SO, AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL RIDE AND LANDING, THEY HEAD STRAIGHT TO THE SCUBA SHOP FOR THEIR GEAR AND HEAD ON OUT INTO THE WATER...


...THAT HAS THE RAREST "CLOUD WATERFALL" NEARBY...


...AND ARIEL SAYS, "GET READY FOR THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE, HSR!"....


AND IMMEDIATELY THEY SEE SOME SPECTACULAR SIGHTS LOOKING ONE WAY...


...AND THEN ANOTHER WAY...


...THEN THIS WAY...


...AND THE FOURTH WAY...


...WHICH LOOKS A LITTLE SCARY AND FORBIDDING, AND ARIEL SAYS, "THAT'S THE WAY WE NEED TO HEAD...WHERE NO ONE ELSE GOES!, AND HSR GOES, "GULP!" AS HE ALMOST WETS IN HIS WET SUIT...

...SO, THEY SLOWLY HEAD THAT WAY, BUT FOR SOME REASON, MAYBE SENSING DANGER, HSR TURNS AROUND AND SEES A GIANT FEAR-PRODUCING PREDATOR FISH ABOUT TO ATTACK!...


AND THEY TRY TO GET AWAY AND SWIM AWAY FAST TO HIDE AMONG THE PLANTS, BUT, INSTEAD THEY GET CAUGHT UP AND ENSNARED IN THE KELP!...AND NOW THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO GET FREE!...OH, NO!...ARE THOSE  SOME HUNGRY RAYS COMING IN...


...TO TRY AND FINISH THE JOB?...
                                                                                    Back to Love Toothbrush®                                                                                                                                                 













"No, we really do not have to worry about how heavy the mountains are!"















There are so many beautiful-smile-endowed, Gold-Medal-winning athletes that are worthy of mention here, however, this is a compelling short list:


Up first, the darling gymnastics phenom Simone Biles...who breaks and sets records with regularity!


And she even has a very difficult floor move bearing her name...which includes a sugary half twist at the end!




It's been proven, on camera, that she "drops the jaws open" of the judges and competitors who witness her insanely-spectacular routines live, with her "Four Gold Medal" self!

And, of course, Michael Phelps, earning the most Gold Medals (23) of any athlete, over four consecutive Olympic Games...


...which is very easy to say, and virtually impossible to repeat!

With that many medals, he deserves King-worthy


...Accommodations!

Simone Manuel made history in more than one way with her swimming feats...


And I'm sure that she and her dentist have a great relationship emphasizing prevention!

Shohei Ono finally ended a men's gold medal drought for Japan--the country that created Judo-- 


...by surprising his finals's opponent with an inner leg reaping throw for ippon.



The three-time Olympic 100 meters, 200 meters, and 4x100 fastest man on Earth, and ultimate entertaining showman...who backs up all of the races he runs...with decisive victories...heeere's the uncatchable, world-famous, and peerless Usain Bolt!


He says that his events are the most difficult--and thus the most athletically-demanding--of all sports!


...I'm sure that athletes in the other sports are ready to debate that point vociferously! (His Highness has 9 Golds total, as of press time!)

Super swimmer Katie Ledecky leaves the other swimmers in the race with an ever-widening lead!


People from Flint, Michigan don't play... so leave lethal boxer Claressa "T Rex" Shields be!...


...or else you may need emergency teeth replacement surgery!

Last-second Gold Medal Winner Michelle Carter...


...bursts into First Place here in the Women's "Shotput Heard 'Round The World," on her last tremendous heave!...


And finally, American Ashton Eaton, with his "Roman God Good Looks" and "Pretty T Rex Smile"... 



...has successfully earned his second straight Olympic Gold Medal as "The Best All-Around Athlete In The World" by winning the Decathlon in London (2012), and now, 



...in Rio!

There are so many great Olympics competitors who have tear-jerking stories about their nontraditional and difficult times growing up, and they reveal to us that they have had to sacrifice much to breed their characters and to achieve dominance in their respective sports, and most of them can easily qualify as attractive and photogenic actors for toothpaste and toothbrush commercials!

The Profession of Dentistry also comes out on top with the gold, too, because...



...what's the first automatic reflex that people show when they feel great?...They all beam a vanilla-ice-cream-white, teethy smile...that's what!

I am emotionally "full on" for these fresh Games, and I am anticipating to be blessed to meet you again in 4 years to see still greater heights of competitive excellence, and to share still greater stories and experiences making up the one-and-only global Olympics!


Viva, Olympia!



May you have many...time waits for no one, so don't end up being late!...after a certain age, the only thing I exercise is--caution!...everybody likes pleasant surprises, no?...smiles!
