kah-rah-OH-kay

Joe from Miami, who was a part of my group while in Japan, sent me this comic strip today that sums up karaoke singing, at least in the US.

I was actually, in fact, stone cold sober and just having a great time courtesy of Carrie Underwood. I'll spare you the video but here is a pic and the comic strip...
