So You Think You Are Mathsculine?

I watch a lot of tv with Angie that I would never watch if I was alone. Not because it rots my brain out or anything noble like that. I'm just more likely to get involved in a book or my computer than I am with television. Not Angie.... she's television's bitch.

Watching terrible shows with Angie is fun. I don't know how she makes it so, but she does. If I watch by myself it's just not the same. This week the reality show we watched was "So You Think You Can Dance?"

"Oh..."
"Yeah.. "
"This is like..."
"American Idol, but with dancing"
"Oh that is SUCH a better show!!"
"I concur"

And it WAS a better show, if only because of this one kid. We'd missed the fist episode so we didn't get to see him dance, we only got to see him get rejected. He sashayed out on stage in front of the judges with a short-sleeved button down that came down to his belly-button, (unbuttoned to show his hairless chest) and these really short, tight shorts. And he had a sweet, boyish little voice with a lisp. Are we getting a mental picture?

"Oh he is SO..."
"I know."

So the judge, Nigel, starts by telling him that he was worried about him when he danced with a ribbon. Then he tells him that he was technically the best boy they saw dance, however, he wants someone that is manly. Er. Manlier. So the kid starts freaking out, and he says "No one has ever told me I'm not masculine when I dance!"

*snort*
"sknnt"

This kid then demonstrates some dance moves, that I thought were um.. graceful. He looks at the judge straight-faced and says "Are you telling me THAT wassthn't mathsculine?"

"Hee-Hee!"
"Oh God."

Nigel tells him technically he is a wonderful dancer but that he needs someone very masculine and he's sorry. This kid won't give up. He tells Nigel that he needs to "Wathtch the tapeths again" because he is masthculine and why didn't Nigel TELL him he wanted mathsculine because he can be more mathsculine! (I was waiting for him to stomp his foot and run off) Nigel says "I paired you with a partner. Was your partner male or female?" Kid says "She was female...." and Nigel goes "Well then which of those two do you think I wanted to be masculine?"

"Hahaha, awesome."
"Poor little guy."

Then.. and this is the best part.. the kid looks at Nigel totally. straightfaced. And he says "No one hasth ever told me that danthing witth my ribbon ithsn't mathsculine!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh my GOD"
"Oh lord."
"Dancing with your RIBBON?"
"Oh...."
"No one has told him?"
"They should have."
"That is the best quote of all time."
"This show is so good."
