Have a tanty!

MOST people were splitting their sides with laughter at internationally acclaimed ventriloquist David Strassman’s late-night show in Caloundra on Tuesday.
But former Queenslander of the Year and marathon runner Ron Grant didn’t see the funny side.
Mr Grant, of Caboolture, attended the show after a recommendation from a nearby restaurant. Seeing the poster of a teddy bear, he thought it was soft humour.

The 9.15pm show at The Event Centre for Ted E Bare’s Farewell Tour came to an abrupt halt about 15 minutes in when Mr Grant stood up in protest, walked to the front of the stage and expressed his distaste for the “profanity” of Strassman’s timber puppet, Chuck Wood.
Mr Grant had voiced his misgivings about the tone of the performance from the fifth row before directing his complaints to Strassman.
Moar here:

“I never let anyone swear in front of my wife.
“I run a business and none of my staff swear, if they do they get a warning. If they do it again they can leave.”
Mrs Grant stood by her husband.
“I’m very proud of him for standing up for what he believes in,” she said.
“I was happy to leave with him.
“I wasn’t enjoying myself either.”
Events Centre chairman Ashley Robinson offered Mr Grant a refund, saying he could “understand the misunderstanding”.
Right, so the guy is a domineering asshole filled with a severe level of unwarranted self-importance who dominates his wife, taking control of how other people and her have a relationship, and has a fat cry because he was too stupid to actually ask what the fuck the show was about.
Eurgh.

I hate you. I've disagreed with your asssholery for the last 4 or 5 years, and suddenly tonight you're making sense. I think one of us might be growing up.
It's me isn't it?

It's probably the dementia.
Though who's I can't remember.
