Why would a girl buy a teddy bear for a bloke? It'd be like a bloke buying, I dunno, a drum kit for a burd.

(Everyone knows that women are physically incapable of playing drums)

Only too well.

As does the drummer from Glasvegas - she plays one drum whilst standing up - no other drums, snares or cymbals. I saw them play in Slane & the dumb bint couldn't even keep in time... with ONE drum?!!?!!

A friend of mine thought she was a great drummer.

A few videos of Dave Lombardo changes his mind.
