Not today - I took a bite out of somebody's ass, so I'd say all are present and accounted for. Interesting question, though. I guess the answer might depend on exactly what it is you need them for?
Right, I'd better clarify: I meant the feeling of being ineffectual, like a toothless bulldog. Appearing fierce but really having no teeth. Hence the spineless cryptic lyrics posts sprouting around here lately.*
So: feeling helpless against certain things that are interferring. Impotent. Etc.
Now, I'm sort of glad I was so cryptic because it led to some comments from folks who don't normally comment alot around here...
Fat Lady - I'd love to hear more about that story...! ;)
Ahist - liking the literal joke. But the "bitten off more than I can chew" wasn't the connotation I was after...
I feel "toothless" sometimes when, for some reason, I just can't construct arguements. I see something, I disagree with it, but I just can't articulate my disagreement efectively.

Um, no. Why do you ask?
Siel - I didn't mean it in a literal way, I meant it in a "toothless bulldog" kind of way. Or I suppose I could've used a muzzle analogy.
Anyways, I need to let it go. Has to do with those damn bloggers. :D
You're not toothless, though (Starbucks Challenge). Go get 'em! :)

I would think, if you'll pardon a bit of literalist humor, that a duck would be used to that....
Seriously, though, I find that I've bitten off more than I can chew more days than not. Not sure what teeth have to do with it, though.

*Which I enjoy anyway and plan on continuing.
Sometimes cryptic works. Look at all the different interpretations SD. Thanks for the lesson...and the fun.
