Discussion

I've added some explanation. But the joke could be taken the other way. Cueball is judgemental on girls with mohawks (that shovel prostitutes into cars), maybe she is indeed a cute girl in pain. Now that's food for thought! --Pnariyoshi (talk) 14:33, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Does anybody know what the reference is to Joey Comeau's work? 98.166.43.28 23:04, 30 August 2013 (UTC)DBrak
