Sorry, still behind, but … does anybody besides me think our beloved Bullethead might actually, secretly, be a male stripper? Why is this _mess_ on television? And why are they letting Paula _do_ that? The _hell_? ---

It’s the people like Spikyhair Kid that I can understand why they don’t know that they sound bad. His _tone_ is exactly the kind of resonant, big voice that goes over really well, but he obviously has no ear for key. If he can’t hear if he’s hitting the notes right, he obviously can’t hear whether he’s singing the song in key, and his tone sounds great, so he thinks he’s singing well. ---

My son had her pegged while she was calling Ryan short. “She’s a stripper!” and then when she said her mother the stripper made the outfit for her he said, “When your mom’s a stripper, maybe you should ask her exactly how whorish the dress is gonna be.” ---
