Acrochallenge!

Hello friends, Romans, and countrymen. Lend me your acros.

Today was to be my Coronation. And it almost was. There I was in Dr Guts's chair waiting for that golden crown upon my tooth. He put it in. It was too big. It was apparently wedging my other teeth. So he got out his tools and carved, and honed, and buffed. And now it's too little. Dammit. They now have to send it away. Will I never be crowned....

I did get a major shock, though, there in the chair. They told me up front (no pun intended) that the teeth near the back get gold crowns instead of porcelain. So when they had it in there still and were looking at the xrays, I sneaked a peek in the mirror. And it's gold. I mean, it's really gold. Of course, I had to realize I was holding the mirror up and looking down into my mouth, a view I doubt anyone but Dr Guts or someone who's trying to buy me will adopt. Still, I must come to grips with the fact that yes, I will be the proud owner of a gold tooth. And at $650 it'd better be a high quality gold tooth at that.

I mentioned to Dr Guts that I was worried that my new adornment would set me up to go on the rap circuit, and he tried to make up a tooth rap on the spot, but only got about a line into things.

Anyway, after the actual crowing, which could come as early as Friday, I shall be asking you to address me as either Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth or I'm going back to my old street name, The Notorious BET. You may choose.

And that got me to thinking about Acromania. Tonight's topic shall be, "So, Poindexter - What's Your Rap Name?" Everyone will get three entries to come up with the best acronym they can that not only matches the topic, but fits the letters below, which are randomly drawn from the acrobasket. I'll judge at 10pm est tomorrow night, and there'll be scratching on the turntables and shooting in the streets.

This week's topic: "So, Poindexter - What's Your Rap Name?" The letters:

So, you bitches and homeys alike. Get acroin'.

Betland's Olympic Update:
* I can't remember whether or not I've mentioned this, but for 2005 I'm thinking a little Poderosa improvement is in order. I want to paint the cabinets in my kitchen, I'd really like to paint the walls (since I can't re-do the tiles) in my bathroom, but the first chore is to make something of an actual room out of The Beast, aka my back bedroom. I actually made a dent in it tonight, but didn't want to give myself a hernia or a nervous breakdown, so I quit while I was still happy with my progress. Check back in December for that one.
