It is a little known fact that Roy Orbison had a very rare tooth condition called toothitis. It's such a rare thing you couldn't even find it in Web MD – we tried for literally an hour. We tried for almost an hour. It was about ten minutes.
Orbison's teeth kept falling out and getting replaced every six months or so. During his lifetime he had dozens of sets, each eventually becoming loose and falling from his gums. You didn't know that did you? That's because you don't know Lou. He's the one that informed us, and has since been kind enough to sell us over two dozen of those tooth-sets for an average of $900 a piece. We paid less for the ones that looked sharp and bamboo-worn.
Stuff like Orbison's billions of teeth – well that's just celebrity memorabilia. It's a billions of dollars a-year industry for those lucky enough to be in a position to sell such things. Sometimes though, you get a piece of celebrity for free. Owen Wilson's used underpants, for instance, were recently abandoned by the man himself in a very large, successful & wonderful upscale clothing store in Maui.
Did we mention they were dirty?
