Royally Obsessed: Man Gets Will and Kate Tattooed on Teeth
Is there something stuck on your teeth? Oh no, that’s just a tattoo of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

For those of you who are wondering, £1,000 is $1,657.60 US. . . . . Yea. . . . No doubt Will and Kate are . . . gratified? . . . Umm. I’m guessing that, like me, they are wondering what the hell this guy was thinking.

Blogs that Make You Think
I’ve got two for you from renaissance man, Clay Morgan. Didn’t want to have to choose so I’m posting them both. . . .
First, a guest blog Clay did over at Renee A. Schuls-Jacobson’s blog site, Lessons from Teachers and Twits. It’s called Lessons From a Pop Teacher & a Few Zombies, and it’s about one of Clay’s specialties, the innovative use of pop culture in teaching.
Second, Clay takes a thoughtful look at the practice in Africa of using child slaves to produce that unparalleled food of the gods, chocolate, in his essay on Blood Chocolate.
Super Fun
How fun is this? A mini-crossbow that really shoots from Gizmodo.
Fantastic video about the chemistry of a Cadbury Creme Egg. No, really! Egg Chemistry. This came to me via Elizabeth Boskey. Seriously, I want this job.
Amy Shojai’s Monday Mentions: Books, Ear-ie Cats, and Possum Luv. Amy is a certified animal behavior consultant who clearly loves her furry friends and her work. Be sure to check out the tongue-in-cheek (I hope) video on accurately analyzing your opossum’s state of mind, including how to properly feng shue the little marsupial. I’m still laughing.
And these are always fun. Old Ads That Could Not Be Published Today from You Got to Be Kidding’s Blog.
Just Beautiful
This is an amazing Peacock Dance. I don’t know for sure who this exquisite dancer is. If you know, please post it in comments.
All the best to all of you for a week of wise souvenir purchases.

Wow, that’s kinda nuts
But also hilarious!
Thanks for sharing, Piper!
You bet, Manon. Thanks for stopping by.
Piper B’s the one for me! You rocketh once more sister. *Dutifully marches off toward lined up posts of goodness*
Cool. Hope you enjoy.
Holy crappiocca! Tattoo’d Teeth? Whoda thunk it. And THANKS for the shout out on the possom blog. *s* Actually it would be funnier if it was serious, don’t you think? Scarier, too.
Lol. It would be scarier if it was real. She does this so well, she had me wondering if she was serious through about the first third. There are a lot of folks like that who are for real in my neck of the woods. But I’m really glad I now know how to feng shue my opossum, should the need arise. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
EVERY single article looks so good!! I need more hours in the day.
I know the feeling. Thanks for stopping by.
I like the teeth idea. Now if this guy will just drink a bunch of coffee and burgundy England will have the first dark brown royals. Only on teeth, but it’s a start. To celebrate the royal circus I ate chocolate cake for breakfast today. Chocolate is good in the morning. I hope more royals get married soon. Long live chocolate!
Just occurs to me. . . . So many people wear shark teeth. I wonder what the effect would be if they have sharks tattooed on their teeth? . . . Just a thought.
Shudder.
Tattooed teeth? Too over-the-top for me though some people would like it. I mean, why would I stain my teeth for people that don’t know me. Besides, if I met them, I’ll have a lot of explaining why I got them tattooed on my teeth.
I couldn’t help but notice Prince William’s bald spot (despite his hotness). The moment the camera zoomed over his head, my eyes went directly on his eagle’s nest. I know it’s shallow of me but I can’t help it. I mean, of all the things he could inherit from Prince Charles, why that?
Well, I’m a needle-phobe, so you’ll never see me get a tattoo period! However, I do have a friend who got Ben Cross as Barnabas tattooed on her leg! I told him on his web page she should get fan of the month for that! As far as that guy getting William and Kate tattooed on his teeth, I wonder if that song “Eat the Rich” was playing in the background…Yanno–that one by Motorhead (unedited, of course)? If ya don’t, here’s the clip (and I laughed my butt off at that waitress “Alice” in the movie too)! I love Amy’s blog too! I need to share that one with Lauren on Shyhound!:
I loved watching the dancer. So graceful and beautiful… However, when I saw the teeth after those Raspberry Smirnoffs I had, the closet metalhead in me came out…Every time he bites down, he’s biting down on royalty isn’t he?
