pdug said...: I'm partial to Beardyman myself.

She's good though.; 5/14/09, 11:39 AM
goesh said...: I wonder how big of a cash bonus she would want on top of me paying to have her tubes tied..?; 5/14/09, 11:45 AM
Hoosier Daddy said...: This is why birth control was invented.; 5/14/09, 11:54 AM
KCFleming said...: In South African Xhosa, she just declared war.

Plus she says the popular umngqusho dish is half price all week.; 5/14/09, 11:57 AM

This is specially hilarious to me since I just watched The Gods Must Be Crazy last night!

And this girls is good, but she needs to work on her transitions and rythm.; 5/14/09, 12:12 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Honey, I just finished the internets.; 5/14/09, 12:27 PM
goesh said...: A 1/2" drill and a common teaspoon, all that's needed to perform a lobotomy on her; 5/14/09, 12:29 PM
Joe said...: I liked her better than the French dude; her performance was more varied.; 5/14/09, 12:32 PM

Wince said...: It's like she has a Rave in her mouth.

Don't tell Joe Biden, he'll want to shut it down.

Nor tell Bill Clinton, for that matter, he'll, well, you know.; 5/14/09, 12:44 PM
Synova said...: She's cute!

What's with the "tubes tied" and "birth control" comments?

I don't get it.; 5/14/09, 12:48 PM
knox said...: I don't see how can she do that and barely move her face.; 5/14/09, 1:06 PM
dbp said...: It is interesting how she is able to sing through the beat.

But also, it is odd how she seems to be strangely unmoved by her own performance.; 5/14/09, 1:32 PM
Wince said...: Oh, fuck, no!

Does this mean there is a Police Academy prequel in the works?; 5/14/09, 1:53 PM
Unknown said...: Here's another amazing entry.; 5/14/09, 2:10 PM
Hoosier Daddy said...: What's with the "tubes tied" and "birth control" comments?

I don't get it..

Sorry, I just find that annoying. Anything remotely resembling rap music makes me surly ;-); 5/14/09, 2:19 PM

Methadras said...: She has excellent oral skills. Well, only if she's 18 or over. Thank you.; 5/14/09, 3:49 PM
Ann Althouse said...: She's 17.; 5/14/09, 3:55 PM
goesh said...: You are right of course, Synova - I'm just bitter she wasn't more creative in her quest for fame and acknowledgement - like maybe sitting in a bathtub full of garden slugs for 100+ hours - I think the fan base would have appreciated that more....; 5/14/09, 5:18 PM
Kev said...: The tempo changes were sort of jarring (maybe that's just the "music prof during exam week" talking), but I really did like the sounds she made.; 5/14/09, 5:23 PM
rhhardin said...: I was happier with Jonathan Winters. He'd do something sensible with it, like illustrating a joke.

This woman has no story that goes with it.; 5/14/09, 5:37 PM
Methadras said...: "Ann Althouse said...

She's 17."

Well. I'm sure she is going to make someone very happy in her future with those skills.; 5/14/09, 5:44 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Notice she did all that with one hand behind her head at all times.

Amazing.; 5/14/09, 6:06 PM
dannyboy said...: Notice she did all that with one hand behind her head at all times.

Amazing..

Oh not amazing laddie, that's habit plain and simple.; 5/14/09, 6:32 PM
XWL said...: 17 is legal in Canada, and she's Canadian, so have at it you pervs, but only if you are also Canadian(and with their close in age exemptions, minors as young as 12 can have consensual sex in Canada).

Just don't document it visually, cause then you'd be in real trouble.

(all you US based pervs will have to wait a year, the PROTECT Act of 2003 makes it a major felony to travel for the purpose of having sex with folks under 18, without regards to local laws); 5/14/09, 8:05 PM
Pete the Streak said...: "minors as young as 12 can have consensual sex in Canada)."

And you make a crack about US based pervs?

Some snark about the entire Canadian population would obviously be more appropriate.; 5/14/09, 8:37 PM
Unknown said...: Wow, thank goodness XWL swooped in with that info about the PROTECT act, I was fixin' to hop on the northbound Greyhound!; 5/14/09, 9:53 PM
The Crack Emcee said...: I'm left about as bored as she is.; 5/14/09, 10:59 PM
Bissage said...: I made to 52 seconds but only because I became distracted by her eyebrows.; 5/15/09, 6:18 AM
goesh said...: she'll get knocked-up in the same backseat of the same car and spend the rest of her life pawing cheap Chinese merchandise in Wal Mart wondering where the meaning of her life went and how it sort of just slipped by as her body sages more and more each day and the stretch marks will jump off the mirror and into her mind and stretch even further and late at night she will go into the bathroom and close the door and once more fondly remember how her mouth once was able to instill visions of being adored and she will silently scream yet again and tell herself it is still not too late to take voice lessons and upon returning to the snoring oaf in the bed she will dream of cheap sandals and having one more shot at being acknowldged and adored by thousands of fans alas america behold your daughter; 5/15/09, 7:12 AM
Unknown said...: This one's for Cedarford; 5/15/09, 3:40 PM
jr565 said...: She's very talented, but that is definitely a skill with limited appeal. It's almost as bad as bird calling or yodelling.
Being around someone doing that for more than 5 minutes would have me reaching for earplugs or worse a shotgun; 5/16/09, 6:36 PM
