Richard Kiel, what hath thee wrought?

There's a relatively new song out now on the airwaves by Nelly and some other rappers extolling the virtues of having a tricked-out mouth. Rappers Paul Wall, Lil John, and Baby, or Birdman, of Cash Money records are extremely proud of their platinum and diamond-encrusted dental work - Mr. Wall in particular. I don't think I've ever seen a photo of him with his mouth closed.



Perhaps I could bolster my image by donning precious metals in my oral cavity. I've found several styles which match my personality. Perhaps you, dear reader, can help me decide. Come to think of it, my new grill could double as a retirement plan. As I accrue wealth, I could bling more & more teeth. When I reach retirement age, I can just cash in my dentures. I'm liking the sound of that...



I'd be remiss if I didn't give credit to the first to sport the metallic grin. Honor to whom honor is due and whatnot.



Jaws, all dentists, orthodontists, and jewelers salute you.

THAT is ridiculous. I vote for the top middle.

(in reality, it was hard to vote bc all of them are equally outlandish)

I'm kinda partial to the bottom right. Oh, and these are tame. Can you imagine looking up at your song leader while he's wearing one of these?

That first picture is going to give me nightmares for the next month. I actually screamed a little when I accidentally scrolled down.

Bottom left...you could look like Bubba from Forrest Gump.

Actually, I prefer the age-old Ernest T. Bass style. Knock out your two front teeth and center a gold tooth right in the middle.....with a little space on each side.
