Why, I'm so tough and badass that I pulled my own tooth last night. And I don't mean some barely hanging by a thread loose tooth. I mean a 2 hour, blood, sweat and tears channel-lock pliers kinda tooth. One of my lower big chewing teeth cracked about four or five months ago and I kept living with it. Every so often when I bit down on something tough like steak I'd pack some meat down into a hole between my tooth and gum and get an absess which would swell up and hurt. I'd take pain killers for a week and it would go away but then it would happen again a month later. So it happened again last night during dinner and I finally grabbed a pair of locking vise grip pliers and spent almost two hours in the bathroom wrestling with it. There was actually a lot more blood in the sink than in the pictures but I never got a shot of it all. Believe me, it was one of the hardest, most painful and yes, maybe even stupid things I've ever done. Check it out...
