Toothache Fiends Move Out Quickly

Today is Toothache Day! Perhaps because this date also marks the founding of Hershey's Chocolate in 1894. Speaking of things going into or coming out of the oral cavity: On this day in 1891 the first shipment of asparagus arrives in San Francisco from Sacramento; Thomas School of Germany becomes the fastest yodeler — 22 tones/15 falsetto in one second — on this date in 1992; The Beatles make their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show today in 1964 and the Portuguese singer and movie star Carmen Miranda, of banana-hat wearing fame, is born on this date in 1909.

Celebrate with a Tooth Decay Devils Tote Bag — more like-minded products here — from the deliciously noirish, weird, fabulously cartoony and impossible to categorize CafePress.com 1947project Odd & Sundries emporium. I'm especially fond of their Suffocation Device Tile Coaster, too.
