May Your Teeth Be Merry Contest
Because healthy teeth rock and so does Christmas…
Prize #1: The smartest toothbrush you’ll ever meet.
An Oral-B Triumph 9900 with Smart Guide Wireless Technology.
The nice people at Oral-B heard about how much I love my Panasonic and thought they’d try to convert me to the new Triumph. I said – sure I’ll try it – but only if I can give one away to my fabulous readers. They said “of course!” Sweet.
This little robot toothbrush creature thing retails for $149.99 but you can grab it at Amazon for $104.99 or better yet, win it here.
Mine showed up on my doorstep today and I think it’s watching me.
Seriously.
I now have a cyborg in my bathroom.
The toothbrush actually communicates wirelessly with a little timer that alerts you when to brush a new area of your mouth and changes modes depending on the sensitivity of your teeth or the overall gunkiness of your mouth. The little timer thing also tells you if you’re applying too much pressure (something I apparently do to my mouth and the men I date). AND – get this – it comes with a little blue container cyber bed coffin.
Basically, with this puppy, your teeth are going to be super, super clean and sparkling white. If you can get past the fact that your tooth brush could be smarter than you are…
Prize #2: A $20.00 Macy’s gift card.
Macy’s is testing the nation’s Christmas spirit this year and giving up to $1,000,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. To participate have your little ones write a letter to Santa, bring it into Macy’s and they’ll donate $1.00 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. (They’ll also mail the letter to the North Pole)

I would name it Spock. I don’t think he was a cyborg..but whatever.
I would name mine Mr. Putzen. Putzen is the german verb for “to clean”. I know. I AM a dork!
Tweet tweet tweet
Well, that didn’t work! – A.N.G.I,E
Artificial Networked Galactic Infiltration Entity
I am far too amused by your writing today. Is something in the air?
I’d be quite afraid to bring some a contraption into my life. I mean, The Former Mister nagged me about pressure and I got rid of him for a reason.
But if such a thing were to grace my bathroom, I think I’d call it Mr Fresh. ADORE that fresh feeling post-teeth brushing. I don’t know why it’s Mr. The shape of it, I suppose…
How about a first and last name: “GOOD VIBRATIONS”
I think we might like to know how well it vibrates.
Hmm…I’m thinking Mr. Sparkles because (hopefully) it will leave my teeth sparkling clean! So lame, I know, but I’m currently creatively drained.
I Twittered it, and I think I would name it Locutus.
In Star Trek, when Jean Luc Picard was assimilated and became a Borg, he was renamed Locutus.
Yes, perfect name for such an incredibly sophisticated toothbrush.
I would name it DILDO – Dental Information Learning Device Organizer.
Fred.
Because I’m that uncreative.
I would name it Mr. Oral-Beautiful
I just tweeted (??) you…. I am pretty new at this whole twitter thing so I hope I did it right.
So how is your little cyborg treating you? I am seriously thinking of getting something like this for my daughter who thinks its a race and says DONE after brushing for maybe 2 seconds. 
I would name mine “savior” since it’s been forever since I’ve been to the dentist! Sad, but true!
I would name mine Mr. Clean… and I would sing the “Mr Clean! Mr Clean!” song to it daily.
I have Tweeted as well, MSM!
I would name it Adrian.
Boring, I know, but I named my iPod Nano Pete a few years ago, and it goes well w/ Adrian. People think it’s hilarious/crazy that I named my iPod, but I was training for a marathon so was running A LOT… and I thought it sounded better to say I was going for a run w/ Pete…
Um… I was trying to come up with a witty spin off of “B.O.B.” but I can’t seem to succeed. It does vibrate and is used in an orifice, though as much as I like clean teeth I don’t actually think that would make me “O” :~)
I will love him and hug him and kiss him & name him Buzz.
(then give to my oldest child…cuz I have the new Sonicare and I LOVE that thing…)
;D
This little guy sounds awesome! I’d name it Richard. Because I have a authority complex and consider anyone who tells me what to do a dick

Hey I entered Ms Single Mama!
Merry Christmas!
Mine would be… the Blanchinator… (blanchir – in French – means to whiten…)
And each morning and evening after I brush my teeth, I’ll warn him in my most Arnoldy voice that… “I’ll be back!”
Hee hee… corny, I know… but if I win, I can’t wait to tell my French students stories about him!
twittered and I would name it Buzzzzzzz :0)
Ooooo, a contest!
I would name it Percival. I don’t find this in the least bit ridiculous, by the way. I already name everything.
I think a good name would be….
Whitey.
How about Buzz? Thats pretty lame i know but was all I could think of…
twittered and would name it Spencer
I was going to Tweet this weekend but forgot. Can’t from work. I would name it Mr. Med Blocker because maybe it would slow down the rate of decay in my mouth, which they tell me is from the IV iron treatments I was on as well as the anti-seizure meds I take. I brush and floss constantly but have 5 fillings since last checkup 6 months ago, 2 that require root canal. Fun!
Ummm I’d Name It Mc Fresh’n…. OOOH YEAH!
I’d name him Kiss My Mouth Machine.
My toothbrush gizmo has seen its last days. I want to try yours now!
I’d name it Flash!
Nice prize!
Consider yourself twittered!
Scrub-A-Dub….sounds like a good name to me….

I would name the toothbrush Mr. Clean, so I could hum the song as I brushed. Merry Christmas!
Okay, here it goes after a few days of deep contemplation. I really only have to consider what’s happening in my bathroom at the moment, that’s all. My entry has much to do with my shower head. I’ve named him, “Peter.” With this in mind I believe the only logical choice for this brilliant and innovative tooth brushing machine would be (should be) “Paul.”
I’m chucking with delight at the thought of these brothers, Peter and Paul, waiting for me in there everyday!
Lightning McClean
Heh.
Merry, merry Christmas!
Hm…… maybe TORGA (for Tooth ORGAsm). LOL
I know it sucks, but it’s the best I could come up with. Those before me have ROCKED on the naming!
Angel
White Christmas : )
Mr. Younger Teeth
Sparkly white !
The Associate…..
As in “I have a meeting with my Associate”….some true “face time”…..
Okay….time for a glass of wine, LOL. I’m cracking myself up to keep from crying….my kids just left to spend the rest of the day and weekend with their dad.
Sigh. And Sniffle.
BTW, I have changed my email address….and my blog is still up and running! My dad gave me a journal today and I thought to myself, “Isn’t this what my blog is for? Journaling? ” : )
I would name it MaiZino, which means mother of the teeth in Shona (my babies’ other native language).
These names are CRACKING me up… thanks for entering everyone and good luck! Only 3 more hours left to enter…
probably Szzzzzzzzzzzzzz because that is the sound we (my son and i) make when we brush our teeth….
I tweeted!!
I think I would name him Dr. Smile
LOL
that’s lame, I know.
but I NEED this!!!
Contest is closed!
I wish I could give one to each and every one of you…. I’m going to pull the name randomly and will announce the winners soon.
Thanks everyone for entering.
Who won? Who won? My teeth are chattering with excitement.
Soon, soon. I have to figure out a way to randomly draw a name without writing each one down. But I think I’ll just have to write each one down.
No biggie. Feeling better this morning so… probably tonight!
I just wanted to say: MERCI BEAUCOUP!!! I thank you, and my students will thank you too… I really will tell them stories starring the new action hero – Monsieur le Blanchinateur
And also… I love your blog…. please keep writing.
Your honesty, strength, sincerity, vulnerability… they all make you the beautiful person that you are.
Happy New Year!
Hi everyone,
My name is Freddy and I’ve wasted nearly a month of my life on this place
I found it after being recommended by a few friends who have been hanging out here for quite some time.
I am a writer, graphics artist, photographer and just about anything else that comes up around the office. Aside from the above interests i’m really into scifi as I know that is so much more out there to be discovered, and a feeling that the universe is just teaming with life.
Well, I hope that I get to know more people here, share some experience and start learning. Have a greay day!
