Metal Mouth Message Board

Jerry, I am so glad you are proud of your metal mouth I wish I had your aplomb! Starting tomorrow about this time would be nice! Are we supposed to just ignore the fact that this is a big deal for us? Well heck no! Listen, this is a major change in your appearance, and it can be quite uncomfortable....
