Mike… is this your way of saying that you have really stinky breath? Because if it is, it’s a very nice way to break the news to us, the light is just perfect in this photo.
Also? Pretty toothbrush.
I thought you’d be horrified to see something so personal as my toothbrush. *gasp* That toothbrush has been in my mouth. And more than once, I should add. You do understand that my squeamish Finnish friend, right?
Um…why isn’t he green?
He is. But there’s a bright red light shining on him for dramatic effect. I like bright red lights.
That’s about how I’m feeling after this stupid theme for today’s photo.
This theme was brilliant, and you know it.
I wish I could say just how brilliant it is too, but my head is still swimming from wading through millions of comments all over the toothbrushosphere.
I understand, CheesyMike. It’s okay.
I’m not clicking to make those naughty bits bigger, thank you. Um, nice toothbrush that you never use, Mike.
I can’t really blame you, NoName.
I do use that toothbrush. It’s my travel toothbrush, and I used just a few weeks ago, in fact. I slather it in toothpaste, spill some water on it, and then carefully insert into my mouth, where I use it to scrub plaque and other junk off my teeth, working from the back to the front, inside to out. And then I spit, rinse it off and put it away.
That description was for Ziva the Squeamish, of Finland.
I do hope that you don’t keep your toothbrush, travel or otherwise, near your toilet. You know the air when you flush, whether sitting down like Mike or not, gets filled with tiny pee particles that are totally attracted to toothbrush bristles.
I heard that on an episode of Bones, and immediately threw up. It’s disgusting, and probably an excellent argument for storing your toothbrush in a container of Lysol or Purell. Although neither one of those tastes very good, I must say.
Mythbusters totally busted that one. It’s okay to pee where your toothbrush lives.
Thank God. But I’m still not peeing where my toothbrush lives just in case.
Bite me.
But brush your teeth first.
Okay.
Hulk spend too much time in gym and eat too much garlic. Hulk needs job as toothbrush holder.
Hulk too angry to hold toothbrush! Grr!
Hulk has pretty white teeth for somebody who doesn’t brush.
He’s actually a lovely man once you get to know him. Assuming he doesn’t crush you first, of course.
So, let me get this straight. David Banner wrote yesterday’s post and today’s is written by the Incredible Hulk? Am I up to date?
I never paid much attention to the IH before. With this lighting, WOW! He looks almost Dolly Parton-esque. Thankfully he has the feet to pull it off.
Yes, I believe you’re correct, Cheryl. David Banner has one way of communicating, the incredible Hulk another. But both are equally legitimate, mostly because the Hulk will crush you if you disagree.
I, too, couldn’t help but notice the light and coloring. Very interesting. It really is the focal point instead of the toothbrush, which I think in this case?
Is a very good thing.
HA!
Yes, it is a good thing. If you’re Ziva the Squeamish, of Finland, self-appointed arbiter of all things good taste.
You have that creature hold your toothbrush? I would allow him to hold my toenail clippers. He’s nasty. You have very eclectic tastes, Michael. But the good thing is that they photograph well. I really wasn’t sure I would look at any of these photos today. A toothbrush is sort of personal and maybe even a little yucky. Mine sits on a stand where it gets charged and covers it’s head with a plastic modesty shield. Because it has strong vibrations, it can also do double duty, you know, as a gum massager.
I love you, Linda! Our minds work alike. Or don’t work alike. I got a
“charge” out of your comments about your electric toothbrush!
You two are pure-dee trouble with capital T. I’ll bet you were very popular in high school and college, too. Actually, hell, you probably still are.
I was wondering who would be the first person to mention electric toothbrushes in a suggestive way.
I shouldn’t have wondered at all.
And toothbrushes aren’t particularly personal, let alone yucky (as long as they’re kept clean). Don’t let Ziva the Squeamish influence you.
But no, the Hulk doesn’t hold my toothbrush. In fact, I had to tape the toothbrush the to back of his hand. Fortunately, foreshortening worked in my favor, and it looks like he’s holding it.
Is this photo totally photoshopped or do you really have a Hulk who is hung and is holding your toothbrush? The lighting is awesome! Now is the time you tell me that you created the light with a flashlight covered in toilet paper and a heat lamp on low. You are a very creative lighting director!
Thank you for asking, Malisa. It was staged, but not Photoshopped. I taped the toothbrush to the back of Hulk’s hand, and then posed him, and then lit the scene with a red heat lamp, which has appeared in some of my earlier work. I guess you might say I’m in the red phase of my career as a photographer.
Furthermore, I used a tripod and a wide-angle lens, exposing the low-light shot for 8 seconds to acheive the desired effect. I think it worked out fairly well, although the photo’s just a hair fuzzy.
Oh, sorry to mention hair in the same comment as toothbrush. That IS yucky.
I used a really cheap Kodak with a battery that doesn’t hold a charge. I had my flashlight from the previous day’s “Future” theme between my legs as I sat sideways on the toilet – to get my shot of my toothbrush.
No delay as I had to hurry up and take four shots because that’s all the camera is able to hold now. Four friggen shots. So, you know I’m the better photographer. Just letting you know.
Have you considered getting a new battery, Mariann? It might not work for you — everybody’s situation is a little different — but in my experience a fresh set of batteries can really make a difference when it comes to powering a camera.
Aha! I knew there was something fishy going on when you insisted, nay, demanded that this theme not be trashed when making the list with Ziva. You already had this photo in mind, didn’t you?
I must admit, however, this is hilarious.
I swear to you on my dead mother’s grave that I had no idea what I was going to shoot for today’s theme until about 6 p.m. yesterday. I was, in fact, desperate. And in times of desperation, I turn for help to superheroes, like all good citizens.
Ah yes, the old tooth/teeth dilemma. I’ve got a lot of complaints about the English language, I blame it on my bad grandma too…
This is about as cool as it gets today my friend, as cool as it gets. All in a perfectly sharp picture capturing all the rage. Love it.
I’ve no idea who’s in charge of English — probably some of our relatives — but I wish they’d get their act together. The whole lay/lie thing, for example, is maddening. Maddening, I tell you!
And if you like this photo, maybe you’d be interested in seeing my entire collection of action figures. It’s quite impressive. Until you realize that I’m a middle-aged man. Then it’s just pathetic.
LMAO! Love it!
I’m very glad to assist you in your ass-loss program.
Read this as if I’m screaming:
I LOVE ITTTTT!!!!! THAT IS AWESOME!!!! HULK WANT STINKY BREATH!!!!!!
BEST-ONE-EVER!
Best stinky-breath Hulk ever?
Ahahahahaha! This is sofa king funny!
I will always be indebted to you for introducing me to the term sofa king.
