Team Orthodontist

Hey all!

So while I could count this as the Tuesday Update, I don't want to, because I'd like to do some more Caveman Dan.  So I will.  Later today.

However, I thought in the meantime I'd tell you about our awesome Team Orthodoxy meeting we held last night (the first one I've had the privilege to participate in).  So for fun and fellowship, I made us some commemorative t-shirts to wear:

In case you're wondering, "what's the deal with the face?" this joke sprung out of a facebook conversation we had about some Team Orthodoxy shirts that Chris and Julie had made and were wearing in a picture they posted.  Here's where it all went downhill:

Steve Marsh: I want a shirt that says "Team Orthodontist"

Steve Marsh: TEAM ORTHODONTIST FTW!

Mike Strauss: Ugh. Brace yourself for some dental jokes.

Steve Marsh: ‎*da dum chhh!*

Ruki Vinet: okay. okay. Mike , do we have to do an extraction? i really don't think i want to hear any more dental puns form you.

Steve Marsh: You call those puns? Seriously, don't make me have to pull out an impacted wisdom tooth and do extensive cavity work while you sit in the reclining dentist chair with a pile of tools stuffed in your mouth such as the little mirror, tooth scraper and saliva sucking thingy. It's all about subtle, nearly imperceptible references. Dentists. Teeth.
That's how.
....
Amateurs.

Ruki Vinet: I think steve has discovered the root of our problem

Mike Strauss: We're talking about orthodontia - get it straight! Those jokes have no bite, they were about general dentistry... you better tighten it up if you want to retain any chance in this pun war.

Ruki Vinet: guah! i'm so mad i'm tongue tied!

 

Steve Marsh: Oral-B glad I didn't say banana?

... wait, I'm not doing this right.

Chris Pinnegar: Allow me to CROWN this thread with my thoughts, which I hope you find fulFILLING. Dentistry is a fine profession that everyone should have access to. It's about access. We need to quit our CANINE debates. It's about women's I mean dental care. 

Ruki Vinet: ‎... using capslock on your puns is not needed. am I the only one who knows the tooth about how to write puns or something? yeesh.

Steve Marsh: You mean, "am I the only one who knows the tooth about how to write puns or something? teesh."

... get it? It's a double pun because the guy is saying "teeth" while he's got dentist equipment in his mouth! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRTHODONTIST!

Mike Strauss: Excessive use of caps lock has always been Chris' downfall ;) But let's drill down to the really sensitive tissue here. We can't afford to be numb to the amount of puns we're throwing around here. Canal of you just freeze for a sec?

Steve Marsh: So, I think we've got a consensus. Our next T-Shirt design will be for "TEAM ORTHODONTIST"

And thus, "Team Orthodontist" was born.  Here's the shirts close up:
