Not the original one, but here is a version. I almost went with it, but figured I'd try actually using the flounders words instead.
I couldn't love GRM the magazine or the website more, and believe me, I don't like to be the P.C police or anything or the guy who has a problem with everything thing, but I do have a problem with this...
I find it a bit offensive that you use terms like "FRS," "FoRS," "FoRcE," "FOMOCO" and "FiST" etc etc... for your little descriptions or whatever in the avatars. I myself do not have special needs, nor am I a special ed teacher or counselor, but I feel sensitivity for people with special needs as I am a student taking special ed classes, and my Girlfriend is pursuing her masters in the field.
These terms although I'm pretty sure are not even real words, are obviously meant to resemble the words used to describe people with Quality Vehicle impairments, and it appears that they are used on these boards in a joking sense which, as I view it, makes light of people who are afflicted with vehicle purchasing disabilities.

Finally! After years on the board, finally, something for the hootus.
Also any toothbrush with a reminder to utilize it before bed and not just in the morning is the best. You can tell how functional of an adult someone is based upon the number of times a week they brush their teeth before bed. That should be asked in job interviews, you'll immediately know how well someone has their E36 M3 together.
I used the blue attachment as a bidet.
How about we just not mention any of this to Duke; deal?

That thing is not pleasant on the hootus. At all.
But hey, what ever rides your pony, man. I don't judge.
Wife and I got the two pack of the rechargeable Oral Bs at Costco a few years back. Paired up with cheap generic brush heads from Amazon and we're good to go. Though the brushes are reaching a point where they need to be charged every few days now, so eventually we'll have to replace them.
Whatever you use back it up with a water pic. My Tooth brush is probably 15 years old. (Few sets of heads) and my water pic is almost as old.
Another hit for the Oral B costco pack. Cheap heads can be bought on Amazon
Professional opinion incoming....
Sonic Care. And FLOSS. Can't state that enough! Floss, floss, floss!!!
Sonicare here also. Bought my first one in 2003, and replaced it only a couple of years ago to get a new fancy one that dances on the countertop when you are done. OK, I made the last part up. Seriously, it is the best on the market. I have pretty much zero plaque on every checkup and no teeth problems since I started using it. Just like Docwyte said, flossing is also extremely important. And they are cheaper now than they were when I bought my first one. It is money well spent.

My teeth are pretty crowded and string floss is really hard to use. This thing puts a little valve before your shower head and diverts some water through that little pik head. Same idea as a waterpik except again it is small, simple, and cheap. I brush my teeth in the shower every morning and then run the showerfloss around my mouth for a nother minute or two to rinse it out and clean between my teeth. Before we got this thing the dentist used to yell at me every 6 months that I needed to floss more, and my gums would be sore and bleedy while they were scraping. Since I started using this once a day all of that has gone away.
You may have just altered my life forever. I have a cordless water proof water pik, but I can't keep it clean. The little pickup tube always gets mold or algae in it and there is no way to clean it effectively.
