No, I think there are degrees of Country appreciation, just as there are degrees of Country. It’s like Celtic music– some days you’re up for the bagpipes, and other days not.
And some Country you can savor just for the titles, such as “I Could Get Over Him If I Could Get Under You,” or “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly But I Love You Just The Same,” or “You Done Tore Out My Heart And You Stomped That Sucker Flat.”
“A Lap Dance is so Much Better When the Stripper is Crying.”
I *think* that’s the song im thinking of. I say “I think” because I absolutely REFUSE to risk listening to it again to see if it is. The first time I heard it was in a karaoke bar, and I will commit ANY atrocity to ensure that was also the last time.
Don’t get me wrong, I generally like Country music. Just not when it’s… THAT…
I confess I have participated at less than 100% enthusiasm in both Country and Celtic music along with a few other choice genres. But I get paid for it so I just think about the money.
“Hiding in a scorpion-filled dumpster to avoid it” is my new phrase to show how much I hate something. I can’t wait to use it next time my wife asks me to listen to Celine Dion (or worse yet, Mariah Carey)!
In the dumpster, is that a bunch of the critters or a bunch of the band’s CDs? Because I know a few people who would throw away that many CDs.
Perhaps it’s the members of the band?

Forgot one of my favorites: “I Hate Your Lousy Stinkin’ Rotten Guts But I’m Not Bitter.” Also “My Give-a-Damn’s Busted.”
…or Hayseed Dixies’ “I’m Keeping Your Poop”.
Seriously.

That isn’t a country song. It’s a song by the Bloodhound Gang. It’s sung in a country style, but it’s not in any way country.

that’s what she said
Man iv’e been on bug for months. I don’t think iv’e ever seen one that wasn’t funny. I like the hat and sunglasses dude the best.

I’m planning on using it when my wife asks me to listen to Elvis, Abba, or kd lang.
She, on the other hand, will use it if I wish to listen to Yes, Evanescence or Lacuna Coil.
You know, there’s a reason why most of the time in the car we don’t have music on. š
How do two people with such disparate taste in music manage to survive in one house? the answer is “headphones”.
Aww I love me some Celine and mariah
The dialogue in the last panel had me laughing like an idiot.
Ditto. Luckily I had swallowed the java before getting to that panel.
I’d be in the scorpion-filled dumpster.
Yeah, me too. If it was metal I’d be the one giving of dangerous radiation, though.
Yup. I’m a little more country than that. š

I’ve always wondered what a gamma ray tester looked like.
“I’ve never seen someone half-heartedly participate in a hoedown.”
Someone clearly doesn’t watch “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”.
watch Ryan Stiles (versus Wayne Brady)… pained expression on his face, monotone, truly half-hearted =P
Wait, aren’t scorpions some kinda bug?
What’re ya prejudice against scorpions?
before I liked country music I half-heartedly participated in ANYTHING country related.
Panel 3: Is that Applejack as a human?
