We Won't Get Rough (Unless You're Into That Sort of Thing)

By Sarina | Posted Under Comment Diversions | Comments (692)

Last week, I sent an email to Dustin with a suggestion for a Comment Diversion. I was in the midst of a feverish plague at the time and the email was pretty bonkers, but Dustin being Dustin, he just embraced the crazy and ran with it. He asked me, innocuously enough, if he could publish the email for the diversion … and then the next thing I knew, that wily bastard had tricked me into writing the damn diversion myself. As many of you are no doubt well aware, I’m severely allergic to effort of any kind, so all you lovelies are getting outta me is this here intro to my crazycakes email.

subject Comment Diversion Suggestion (Request?)
mailed-by gmail.com

Hey,

I know Bucdaddy’s been doing the comment diversions lately, but I don’t have his email so there’s no talking to him, which makes me your problem. Unless you choose to ignore me which, as always, is Option B. But anyway, I’d like to suggest a comment diversion which would be pretty simple, basically consisting of just asking lurkers — like, especially the hardcore lurkers, who’ve been skulking and/or hulking in e-corners for a year or more — to post. Something. Anything. In that very diversion. Don’t wait, don’t hesitate, Nike says Just Do It. I’m a little loopy on flu drugs right now (because I still have that damn swine flu with which my whore sister infected me) and I hope I’m making sense in between the accidental rhymes. Oooh, maybe you could even spice up the diversion with a Poorly Constructed Poem! Those are like tiny tot art projects; even when they’re horrible people still think they’re cute. You could make it a song! Set the Poorly Constructed Poem to music. Something catchy, that everybody knows. Then they can sing along to the Poorly Constructed Poeticism in their head, and it will be delightful (in the sense of terrible). I would suggest the tune of that old Playmate, Come Out and Play With Me song. You know, the one with the clapping routine? And some shit about apple trees and dolls and cellars and wow, those lyrics were way creepier than I realized as a child. Whatever. POINT IS, it’d be easy. See:

Hey Lurkers
Come out and play with me
Bring your creepy dollies three
And leave some comments please
Drink from our whiskey fountain
Slide down TK’s cellar door
And we’ll be jolly friends
Forever more more more

That could probably use some work, since I have the feeling if I were any less chemically intoxicated I’d find it a little shady, like we were trying to trick them into lining up so TK can make lampshades out of their skin. Which we’re not (that they know of). It’s just that Paheeba Day and the Twilight sparklespaz seem to have really bolstered up some of the lurker nerves and a few have poked their heads out of their dens. I’d like to drag (in a non-creepy manner) some of the more hesitant ones out. Because fresh meat is fun, and frankly some of the resident carcasses in our butcher shop have developed a stank to their asses. I know there are some toolsheds who would LOVE IT if people had to register and be approved to participate in the comments so they can cement their fantasies of some idiotic VIP lounge, but the majority opinion has always been that new people are fun and awesome and it’s great how they shake things up every once in awhile. I think things could stand to get all shook up. Uh huh (yeah).

Wow. I’m sorry, I totally turned into Elvis for a second. Look, whatever you do, just don’t post THIS as the comment diversion, because it’s batshit insane and it’ll drive all the new people away and we’ll be stuck with nothing but Vermillion & BSlim’s panting unresolved sexual tension and George yelling his head off. Not awesome.

I’m really filled with hate today, apparently.

- Sarina

So there you have it. Go forth and multiply! Right in this here column, because Nike really DOES say Just Do It. Nike also used to say some stuff about Bo Jackson knowing some shit, but I can’t remember exactly what it was because I was eleven and a girl, so the hell did I care about Bo Jackson? I was way too busy trying to get my bangs to stand up straight on purpose (it was 1989, get off my back, hipsters!). Anyway, THE POINT IS, I would love it so much if every single person who somehow found the fortitude to keep reading up to this point and has never commented on the site before would de-lurk now. Right now. My swine flu has eased up considerably but I still have it, and I promise I’ll cough on anyone who’s mean to you in this here space. Now commence to commentin’ or you’ll break my cold, black heart.

Ready, steady, GO!

Sarina,

A splendid idea! The former bucdaddy approves of luring the lurkers out of the tall grass, where we can draw a bead on 'em ...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA just kidding, really! Come out come out wherever you are! Ollie ollie in free!

Posted by: , at December 2, 2009 12:08 PM

I'd just like to say I think this is an excellent comment diversion and I look forward to reading what you lurkers have to say. Come on, type some words in the commenty box thing for us to read. Grow some fucking guts for Chrissakes. Goddamn pussies.

Posted by: BarbadoStout at December 2, 2009 12:09 PM

I totally want to hate-sex Sarina's face right now.

Come on peoples, I'm not a stalker. Kinda.

Posted by: admin at December 2, 2009 12:11 PM

Ah, okay.

Stout?

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at December 2, 2009 12:13 PM

Hi - lurked for around 2 years now - Pajiba is a highlight of every day. I don't post because I'm not nearly bitchy/scathing/clever enough!

Posted by: Meriloo at December 2, 2009 12:13 PM

Hey Barbadostout why dont you come here and say that to my face? Bitch!
Anyway I am a lurker and sometime poster but I always find that whenever I post something its ends that particular thread. Leading me to call myself 'The Threadkiller' when Im home alone constantly refreshing the page in the hopes that someone (why is not directly related to me) will reply to my post.......

Posted by: nieve at December 2, 2009 12:13 PM

Yay lurkers! Come out and play! Don't worry, you can't catch Sarina's crazy or her Black Death through the interwebs. Well, that we know of.

Posted by: Nicole at December 2, 2009 12:18 PM

Still watching!

Posted by: US Government at December 2, 2009 12:18 PM

I'm not much of a lurker anymore, but I only started posting this summer while bored out of my mind at my internship - great people and all, but they were expecting a complete RETARD intern based on past experience, so all the work they had for me for the summer, I finished in the first two weeks, and they spent the rest of my time there scrambling to find more for me to do; luckily, they did not care if I brought my laptop (even "off the record" encouraged me to do so) and as a result I surfed the web and watched Netflix Instant movies all day long when there wasn't any work to do. My mind-numbing boredom overcame my shyness and got me to post.

I've actually been reading the site since before the government shutdown and hard drive seizure though. Actually, come to think of it, HOLY SHIT IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

And until last month or so, I still thought it was pronounced pah-jee-bah. I never actually went into the "about" section. Shows how much attention I pay. I JUST READ THE REVIEWS AND WENT ONWARD.

Posted by: Nat at December 2, 2009 12:19 PM

I don't think I'm technically a lurker anymore, but I did lurk for years before I actually posted. I'm more active on the blogs and Facebook with the Pajiban crew (hi y'all!).

Come out and play? Well, alright...

Posted by: Trouble at December 2, 2009 12:19 PM

Frankly, I find the fact that I don't have to actually interact with people the highlight of the internet.

Posted by: pxilated at December 2, 2009 12:21 PM

nieve...it's official.

Your new handle is a mandatory chang to The Threadkiller.

much like 'luker' the barbarian got his, what you type is what you become.

So shall it be written. So shall it be done.

What say the denizens???

Posted by: PissBoy at December 2, 2009 12:21 PM

I read this site every single damn day in lieu of working (though I try to maintain the illusion that i am working) I have only posted 2 or 3 times but that is mostly because whatever scathing or bitchy thing is running through my mind at the time is usually already being represented by one of the more frequent commenters.
cheers - going back to my lurking den.

Posted by: Jilly at December 2, 2009 12:21 PM

By the way, admin is TOTALLY a stalker. He's bringing the whole family* to peek in my windows next month. Tracer Bullet too. Freaks, all of them...

*But he's bringing his wife too and I LOVE her, so it's okay...

Posted by: Trouble at December 2, 2009 12:23 PM

Well, I'm not totally a lurker, being as that I have commented on the Pajiba Ten posts in the past. Anyway, I read almost everyday with my flatmate, but we never post because the time difference leads to posting being awkward. It's either weirdly early in the thread or too late. But we do enjoy thoroughly spoiling ourselves on films that won't come out here for months and months. And the DVD releases tell us what to see in theaters, or just wait a week to download.

But... what's interesting? I'm an American expat in Budapest, Hungary. I teach English to small children. My main pastime is learning Hungarian, which is bizarre. Uh, the word for beer is pronounced like "sure," so should you ever come here and someone says, "sure?" just respond with, "sure." It's pretty fun. Oh, and hello is pronounced like "seeya!" Even my interesting is rather boring...

Posted by: Lauren (in BP) at December 2, 2009 12:26 PM

I lurked until I happened on this site in a state of blind drunkeness and wrote really, really stupid things. I'd wake up the following day, rub my head, pick myself back up off the floor and wonder who's bright idea it was to give me internet. But then my stupidity was rewarded in the EE's. Three times. I really don't get it.

Posted by: TSF at December 2, 2009 12:27 PM

I love reading the attacks between Vermillion and BSlim, so please keep it up. On the topic of the Diversion, though, I love reading the posts but I gave up commenting long ago when I realized there really wasn't much room for more 'regular commenters' and my name would never be among the great remembered handles. Maybe I'll try harder.

Posted by: Mr. Teatime at December 2, 2009 12:28 PM

I'm not really a lurker I suppose, seeing as I post comments a fair bit though rarely interact. Although it's the posts where you talk about how scary everyone is here that make me think twice about commenting, otherwise I just carry on talking pointless crap.

Posted by: Carrie at December 2, 2009 12:29 PM

There is ALWAYS room Mr. Teatime. We'll just need more lube and 2 more bags of lobster feathers.

Posted by: PissBoy at December 2, 2009 12:33 PM

Aw Man!!

Fine lest us begin the rechristening.
So Pissboy how do we do this? Do I dance naked in the blood of a thousand twilight fans while you chant:
'The Threadkiller shall be born,
The Threadkiller shall rise,
The Threadkiller will become.
Arise annointed one Arise.
I name thee THE THREADKILLER!!!'

or is it more that I just type in 'The Threadkiller' every time I post?

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller' at December 2, 2009 12:33 PM

I don't comment much, so I guess I'm a quasi-lurker. If you wanna stalk me, check out my Cannonball Read site. It's really boring cause I'm already behind on books and reviews, but I'm off of one of my (three) jobs in Dec, so I'm hoping to get caught up real soon.

And in case you were wondering, yes, that movie with Brad and Angelina was about me and the Mr, except we're better looking and have better weapons.

Posted by: Mrs Smith at December 2, 2009 12:35 PM

I've been reading for ~3 years, but I rarely comment because I can't keep up with you prolific bastards.

Posted by: Nate at December 2, 2009 12:37 PM

I've delurked a few times, but mostly come here to watch from the sidelines. Y'all are hysterical. Hope you're feeling better sarina!

Posted by: banana at December 2, 2009 12:38 PM

Hi! I've been reading this for a few years! It's one of my favorite websites and it has nudged me to watch such wonderful pieces of art like The Wackness, (500) Days of Summer, and my personal favorite Firefly.

Thanks for being awesome!

Posted by: stupidgirl1121 at December 2, 2009 12:39 PM

Hey, I thought I was The Threadkiller. Skim down the homepage, take a look--I'm probably the last one to comment on half the articles. But I'll happily let nieve carry the title.

I lurked for years, now I can't shut up. Mainly 'cause you people are so damned interesting to talk to. I love it here. Maybe we could pool our money and establish an Island of Pajiba, a scathing paradise where we could all live in bitchy harmony together. With an adjacent island for lurkers, and jet skis so they can pop over when they feel comfortable.

Posted by: DeadBessie at December 2, 2009 12:40 PM

I've been lurking for 3 years or so now. I don't generally comment on blogs, so this is somewhat of an exception. I'm quite bitchy and scathing, but not always clever, and don't usually read all of the comments, even though they're always enjoyable when I do.

Posted by: Jessica at December 2, 2009 12:40 PM

WE KNOW THERE ARE MORE OF YOU THAN THIS.

Whatsamatta--you yellow? Got yellow bellies? Shake the dust off them keyboards, you pussies.

Posted by: BarbadoStout at December 2, 2009 12:40 PM

I really don't get the whole 'I don't comment because you "regulars" are too S-M-R-T, funny, sexy etc." thing. I lurked for three years before posting and, while I understand the intimidation, nobody's going to jump up your ass unless you're being one. Christ people, I just spout the random shit that pops into my head!

Also, if you're on the facebook, go to the Pajiba group and check out the "who are you" topic. There's lots of people there. Start firing out requests to all the lurkers and regulars alike. You'll be glad you did they're all an awesome group that provide hours of entertainment. You may want to avoid me though. I'm the exact same there as I am here; vulger and ragey with a dash of maple syrup. The only difference is on facebook I actually wear my special helmet.

Posted by: admin at December 2, 2009 12:41 PM

I'm not truly a lurker, because I comment plenty, but considering the fact that I've been reading and commenting on this site for about five years and I haven't made much of an impact... yeah, I'm kind of a lurker. But I come back to the homepage about fifty times a day when I'm not working (yeah, I actually have a job without access to a computer), and catch up at the end of the day when I do have to go to work, because I not only love the posts, but I love the commenters. I know most of the Eloquents by name, even if they don't know me, but I suspect that's true for most hardcore lurkers.

Posted by: Alexandra at December 2, 2009 12:41 PM

I mostly don't comment because I have not yet been able to think of cool enough handle, and am not willing to commit myself to something. I've seen Top Gun. I know how bitter being called "Iceman" for the whole of your career can make you.

Posted by: TBA at December 2, 2009 12:41 PM

Your new handle is a mandatory chang to The Threadkiller.

Is this some sort of Confucianism?

Posted by: Cindy at December 2, 2009 12:41 PM

I feel like the Pajiba "regulars" are the seniors, and the lurkers are freshman. Remember in Dazed and Confused? Get Alice Cooper's "School's Out For Summer", some wooden paddles, ketchup, and let the hazing begin!

"Now fry like bacon you little piggies, FRY!"

Posted by: scorzi at December 2, 2009 12:41 PM

Hey DeadBessie how about we have our own section of the island and when things get too bitchy and scathing we pop on over and kill that thread dead. We could sit around and drink diet coke and eat minstrels and popcorn until we are needed?

Posted by: nieve 'The Threakiller' at December 2, 2009 12:42 PM

Well, I just spent about a minute giggling at your name Mr. Teatime, but I'm easy like a Sunday morning. Hell, my handle is my initials because the screeching monkey in brain couldn't be charged with remembering anything more complicated than that. And there's always room for more regular commenters in my pleasure dunge... uh, I mean in the comments.

... I just hoped more of you would be pandas.

Posted by: jM at December 2, 2009 12:43 PM

Threadkiller,

No, it's more like:

Your Delta Tau Chi name is ... Pinto.

Why Pinto?

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP WHY NOT?

Posted by: , at December 2, 2009 12:45 PM

Mr. Teatime, is your name by any chance pronounced "Tey-ah-timm-eh"?

If so, Millennium Hand and Shrimp to you!

Posted by: Jerce at December 2, 2009 12:46 PM

Aw, dammit! I thought I was the Threadkiller! I'm taking my toys and going home.

Posted by: ahamos at December 2, 2009 12:46 PM

What he said.

But honestly, you people are so funny and I'm just . . . not. So I leave it to you to entertain me. Carry on.

Posted by: ang at December 2, 2009 12:48 PM

Personally, I prefer the term "creeper" to "lurker."

Lurking connotes nighttime. Creeping is for always!

Posted by: typhoid mary at December 2, 2009 12:48 PM

Once upon a time I was a hardcore regular. One of those folks who posts 100 times a day. I even made the EE list a couple of times back in it's earliest days. But now things are a bit different, and I only have the time to comment about once a week, so newer folks may think of me as a lurker, but I've been here a long damn time. And even though I comment less, I'm still reading everything.

Back when I was a regular, it was because I worked a boring ass job and spent 90% of my day staring at a computer screen with nothing to do. But about a year and a half ago I got a new job which is not only significantly less boring, but I don't even touch a computer while doing it. Unfortunately, by the time I read most articles these days, it's far to late to have anything relevant to add to the conversation.

Posted by: Bistro at December 2, 2009 12:49 PM

ahamos, You can be Threadkiller, cause apparently Threadkiller is now Threakiller.

And if Wilma Mankiller is reading this, come out! Come out! Gabba gabba HEY gabba WE gabba ONE OF US!

Posted by: , at December 2, 2009 12:50 PM

Cripes, I would kill to receive an e-mail of such glorious madness. Bravo, medicinally-drunk Sarina. Bravo.

Posted by: Sean at December 2, 2009 12:51 PM

Blah, I've been relegated to lurker status ever since I defended a lurker for commenting that some lurkers felt left out because the site can come off as a bit cliquey. Since then not a damn one of you listens to me and I couldn't give a shit.

Lurkers, listen up! You're wonderful, you're perfect. If you'd like to comment feel free to do so! Just because someone doesn't respond because you're not quite part of the in-crowd doesn't mean someone's not listening. I look intently for new names to see what the new peanuts have to chime in on.

This site has grown in quality and tenacity since the time that I was a lurker. The reviews have gotten to be so great and the trade news is really getting to be interesting. Definitely enjoy your time here, even if you feel left out. Or these motherfuckers shun you.

Hugs and kisses,
Queen of the Lepers ;)

Posted by: Kayanne at December 2, 2009 12:51 PM

Arrgh. There's another reason I don't comment. In my first one I was referring to something Nate said, thinking that my comment would be right after his. I'm just no good at this which is why, hereafter, I will leave it to the pros.

Posted by: ang at December 2, 2009 12:54 PM

Get Alice Cooper's "School's Out For Summer", some wooden paddles, ketchup, and let the hazing begin!

I'd say a good mix of our regulars would rather be the paddlees than the paddlers.

Posted by: branded at December 2, 2009 12:55 PM

NOT ALL OF US JUST SIT IN OUR MOMS BASEMENTS WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT POST ON STUPID BLOGS ALL DAY. I AM VERY BUSY AND OWN MY OWN COMPANY 20+ YEARS NOW SO I CAN BUY YOUR HOUSE LIKE ITS CHEAP. GET A LIFE LOOSERS!

/flame

Hi! I've been reading this site for, shit, three or four years now, but I've only commented a few times. Love the site, though. Always a slightly different take.

Posted by: erik the shred at December 2, 2009 12:56 PM

Being on the left coast, I often feel like I get to a thread after it's dead (thanks, nieve and DeadBessie), but I still comment anyway. So, jump on in lurkers!

Posted by: Drake at December 2, 2009 12:56 PM

I'm another mostly-lurker, occasionally-poster. Come for the reviews, stay for the eloquence!

Posted by: Another Kate at December 2, 2009 12:58 PM

No Threadkiller...you don't have to type that shit every time you post. Type it once as "Nieve 'The Threadkiller'" and then just check the lil box that says remember my info.

Although I do like the dancing naked in blood thing. Maybe not the blood. Just dance naked. Maybe do some splits across the living room. And lastly, tell Rowles the for an elitist hipster, he sure does look like a meat-necked frat boy.

Posted by: PissBoy at December 2, 2009 12:58 PM

DAMN YOU ,AT DECEMBER!!!!!!!


Ahem, Im sorry I have a very old computer and sometimes certain buttons dont work like the D button.
Anyway we can be our own little Threadkiller gang.

Posted by: nieve 'The Threadkiller' at December 2, 2009 12:59 PM

I don't think I'm a regular but I don't really lurk either. Hell, I don't know and I don't care. I comment when I have something to say and I don't comment when I can't think of something to say. Half of the time I just post whatever makes me giggle and then forget about it.

Also? I read most all of the comments and if I responded to everyone that typed something that made me laugh the threads would be full of me posting "Ha! Good one, champ!" or "Way to make me pee my pants, kid!" So. I don't do that.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at December 2, 2009 1:00 PM

I've posted a couple of times, but mostly I'm a lurker everywhere, and here's why:

I used to have a blog, and I blathered endlessly about all sorts of crap, and it didn't really bother me that no one commented much (though I did feel occasionally unloved). Friends, despite the fact that I had a blog and still managed to be rather talkative in my offline social life, kept giving me blank journals for Christmas and birthdays and even on random Wednesdays when the weather was just so.

I took this as a sign that they recognized that I had a lot to say, and yet absolutely no one cared. It's sweet in a passive-aggressive, for-the-love-of-godtopus-shut-the-fuck-up kind of way.

Someday, when the stored up bitchiness explodes, this place will be my first stop. I will BURY you fuckers in liquid bitchy.

That sounded dirty. Eh, you freaks seem to enjoy that.

Posted by: SavageCats at December 2, 2009 1:02 PM

Ok so its naked splits across the living room (writes down on pad)dancing naked in general and insult Rowles..

Hey Rowles you know for an elitist hipster you sure do look like a meat necked frat boy!

Thanks Pissboy I think Ive got it now.

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller' at December 2, 2009 1:03 PM

fo shizzle.

Posted by: Tiger Woods at December 2, 2009 1:03 PM

I've been a lurker for years, but have recently been posting occaisionally. I usually only post if I really have something I want to say/ask. But putting just "James" as my name kind of bums me out, so I don't post often. I love Glee and Dexter, and have been really excited about the recaps happening this year! Maybe when I find an actual handle, I'll post more often.

Posted by: James at December 2, 2009 1:05 PM

Oh shit...watch it ladies.

Posted by: PissBoy at December 2, 2009 1:05 PM

I hope Erik the shred posts more.

Hey, I always read the threads at the end of the day, so it doesn't matter how late you post, there's always at least ONE person reading them!

And let me just encourage the lurkers to post more. I do make an effort to put unknowns in the EE every week, but if you don't comment you don't get a chance for glory. GLORY, people.

Posted by: figgy at December 2, 2009 1:05 PM

I comment less now, which isn't saying much given last year's tally. (GUH. And EEP. Also, PONIES). But I still read as much as I can and occassionally make untoward sexual advances to newbies and regulars and every once in a while, spambots.

Love newbies. They taste like Smartfood White Cheddar popcorn.

Posted by: Julie at December 2, 2009 1:08 PM

How about something like Gleeful_James. Though that might be too foofy. foofy_James! James_The_destroyer! Peanut_Butter_And_James! James the Giant Peach!

I'll stop now.

Posted by: figgy at December 2, 2009 1:08 PM

Pinky, Drake, Nieve, Mrs. Smith, etc; I read this site and the comments enough to have seen all of you post here and there. It makes me feel like maybe we all know each other more than we think.

When did this become a Furry site, Rowles?

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at December 2, 2009 1:13 PM

Long time lurker (pre-Homeland Security). After moving to a southern backwater where they thump their bibles to drown out the sound of their own insincerity, the level of snark and bitchiness on this site makes me feel like I'm back home. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some tall grass to slink back to, my yellow belly is getting too much sun.

Hey Kel...wanna see a picture of a clown? I have LOTS.

Posted by: Julie at December 2, 2009 1:14 PM

No worries love! Welcome to the fold! And trust me..."Remember personal info" is an invaluable field to check. Can't tell you how many times I have been BissPoy or PissBot.

Although...being PissBot would be awesome, because then I could be Pajiba's official terminator of all the spamming machines. Except, you know, without ever making Terminator 3.

Posted by: PissBoy at December 2, 2009 1:15 PM

What can I say, Threadkiller. I'm a self-loathing hipster, and use my superficial frat boy to torment my inner soul. And then I stare at my navel and fall asleep. With a Schlitz.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at December 2, 2009 1:15 PM

I still lurve you, Kayanne. About 4 years ago, after the Feds seized the site was when I tuned in. At the time, I had an office job. After I got my current job a little over 2 years ago and no longer had an office, I crept back into the shadows. But then I de-lurked after the April Fool's debacle and figured out that while it is a pain to comment using my iPhone that it is possible. At least until we get a mobile site. *ahem* Since then I've been fairly active again.

I second your thoughts though. Fresh me...I mean, new faces are fun. They're all shiny and clean.

Sarina, I'm glad I'm at home reading this diversion. I laughed my fucking ass off and almost inhaled a chunk of ham sandwich.

LOL! Peanut_butter_and_James is pretty funny, figgy! Who knows, maybe someday soon I can be something with a "(formerly James)' right next to it.

Posted by: James at December 2, 2009 1:17 PM

I don't encourage the furriness, Slim. It's not bitchy review for furry people. Although, we'd attract a lot more zooerasts if it were.

I comment once in a while but find that most times I'm quite late to the party and frankly don't really think anyone here gives a fuck about my comments anyway.

Posted by: Jadine at December 2, 2009 1:18 PM

When did this become a Furry site, Rowles?


Posted by: BarbadoSlim at December 2, 2009 1:13 PM

Oh, yeah. Because there have never been any references to muppetfucking before now. You all love muppets and puppets and mascots, ADMIT IT.

But not me. You're all furry-loving freaks.

Posted by: Nicole at December 2, 2009 1:19 PM

Well hello there, Pajiba!

I am too intimidated to post much, but I like it here all the same.

Keep up the good work.

Posted by: AES at December 2, 2009 1:19 PM

Wow, thanks Alexandra, it's nice to be remembered and/or recognized.

Posted by: Mrs Smith at December 2, 2009 1:20 PM

P.S. - Jadine, we give a fuck about everyone's comments. (Don't tell the other kids, but you're my new favorite. Shhh.)

Posted by: Nicole at December 2, 2009 1:20 PM

Pissboy you have to be Pissbot! The all Urinating Robot of Doooooom.


Rowles, Pissboy made me do it!! I swear!! And I bet your navel is precious.

Hey Alexandra I usually only comment to support my little sis-the two time EE winner Nadine-or if I really, truly like the thread. But generally I think of myself as a sideline lurker who comments and runs for the hills.

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller' at December 2, 2009 1:20 PM

nieve the Threadkiller, that is a fabulous idea. Apparently there's a whole community of us! And you will be Our Queen (you're a girl, right? Damn internet, can't always tell). Wherever there is witty wordplay, we will stop it dead with our Internet Stank.

Like Drake, I just usually get in on discussions late, and only when we're slow at work. At home I only have dialup, and as much as I love you guys, I do NOT have time to wait for the site to load through dialup. I really didn't think things through when I decided to move. So I usually do a lot of frantic commenting early in the morning. I dread the day I have actual work to do again.

And hey, lurkers, I read your comments! Who doesn't read a comment because they don't recognize a particular handle? You don't have to be spectacularly hilarious or insightful (although most of you are already proving yourselves to be just that); sometimes even the plainest of comments starts off an interesting (or perverted) discussion. Hell, some of yesterday's Pajiba love thread devolved into tales of mercury poisoning after seeing Japanese men bash each other with florescent tubes. You never know which direction a thread will go on this site.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at December 2, 2009 1:21 PM

I lurked for a year or more before I finally got up the nerve to post. Now, I get emails like this from Sarina on a daily basis. So, you know, you can look at that as a reward for delurking or a punishment...

Also, Kel, just say "no". Anytime Julie asks if you want to see a picture of *anything*, say "no" and walk away. Quickly.

Posted by: Lainey at December 2, 2009 1:21 PM

Julie, yes I would like to see some clown pictures. Then others would be afraid and I wouldn't be the only scaredy-cat.

Posted by: Julie at December 2, 2009 1:22 PM

Personally, I'd choose Pepe. His accent is HOT.

Posted by: stardust at December 2, 2009 1:23 PM

You're welcome, Mrs. Smith. I'm noticing that most of the comments on this site are just thrown out there, and never really responded to, but that doesn't mean that they aren't read and appreciated. I know that I usually don't bother commenting if I don't feel like I have anything to add to the conversation, and I also usually just throw out a comment without expecting any interaction, but it looks like that's how many of us feel. Maybe you're having more of an impact than you think.

Posted by: Alexandra at December 2, 2009 1:23 PM

I've been lurking since before the gov'ment snatch and grab...have posted a few times but I tend to....purple, monkey, blanket,fizz....spaz.

Man this has cheered me up, I broke my toes on Monday in my haste to show my brothers the promo for 'Steven Seagal: Lawman' and have been moping round my flat but now theres all kinds of fun times to be had, thanks guys!

Hee.

I will BURY you fuckers in liquid bitchy.

That sounded dirty. Eh, you freaks seem to enjoy that.

Hee hee hee. I like this SavageCats person.

P.S. I like "Peanut-Butter-and-James" for James's new handle. And not because I eat a peanut butter sandwich for lunch every day.

Occasional poster, frequent lurker here! Just glad to know there are so many people who share my views on the "entertainment" Hollywood has been churning out as of late (I've tried to share this site with the hubby, but he refuses to step away from the TV, 'cause he's got "The Punisher" on Blu-Ray...they do say opposites attract, right?)

Posted by: SugarKane at December 2, 2009 1:29 PM

I´ve been lurking for almost five years now but i´m painfully shy and i never posted anything till now, so great thread Sarina!
To celebrate, a poorly contructed poem:

Lurked for over a year
And never posted
A little queer
You might have noted

But now here Iam
And if you say "damn"
Go drink a beer,
Or you can kiss my rear.

ps:English is not my first language.

Posted by: jM at December 2, 2009 1:32 PM

I've been reading this site for roundabouts three years, since I started dating my better half, but only recently started reading the comments. I've thrown my two cents in once or twice, but nothing consistent. For the most part, reading the comments on this site makes me hopeful that there is some shred of intelligence left on the internet. Lately things seem to have devolved into name calling and pointless bickering at times, but even that's done to a higher level here than I've seen pretty much anywhere. So keep up the good work and continue slowly restoring my faith in humanity.

Posted by: TheMaskedEmu at December 2, 2009 1:32 PM

Great. There goes that fucking plan. Thanks a lot, Sarina. Jackass.

Whatever. Welcome, all you hidden freak-os. Try not to get shit on the walls. And don't touch my food.

Also, whoever said they didn't comment because they couldn't think of a cool enough handle... I know it's hard to beat mine, but through perseverance and dedication, you'll find a way.

Anyway, by all means, go back to blathering about your blather.

Posted by: TK at December 2, 2009 1:36 PM

I have been here forever and had the same fears as most lurkers but once you hit that "Enter" button for the first time, there's no turning back.
Be fearless, Say what you think and stand by it.
I have taken my fair share of abuse for pronouncing my unabashed love for "NCIS", so let me be your inspiration!
I've also made some very good friends and feel right at home here and in the Pajiba facebook community as well.
Leap, lurkers, leap!

I think I've commented three or four times in the three or four years I've been reading, so that's a pretty fair average, right?

These days I usually catch up with the day's posts when I get home from work at night. This site is one of my few daily must-reads, right up there with Dinosaur Comics.

Now just hold on a minute SugarKane. While The Punisher: War Zone was not a good movie, it was pretty fucking awesomely assplody. It's one of those things that you just have to accept.

For example, my wife's viewing habits recently cost me thousands of dollars*. I came home from a convention and she was watching a Drew Barrymore movie on my TV! Fucking Barrymore! I had to throw the TV and PS3 away because I couldn't get the stink out. But I still love my wife.

*A fabrication but I honestly considered it. Man do I hate Barrymore.

I've been lurking for about 3 years now and moonlight as an occasional commenter. All this is mostly while I'm putting on the facade of working (as I am right now). As a former English major (not a useless degree!), I've really enjoyed the Cannonball Read reviews and have added almost all the books to my "someday I'll read that" list.

Also, I love Twilight (Go Team Edward!).

Posted by: Peanut_Butter_And_James (formerly James) at December 2, 2009 1:49 PM

Shame what's going to happen to Kel, but the new kids have to learn somehow. Come to think of it, somebody was using the handle bananapanda a few weeks ago, but I haven't heard from him . . . since . . . jM invited him out for Koren food. Goddammit, jM. This is why we can't have nice things. Or panas.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at December 2, 2009 1:49 PM

There's a Who Are You section on the Pajiba Facebook page? I didn't know that. I should visit once in awhile.
I lurked for like a minute b/c Pissboy talked about this site all the time, and then one day I think I got pissed enough about something to post.
You know what I'd like as a diversion? "What does your handle mean". Has that been done? Because I wonder when I see some of the less obvious ones.
See, lurkers? See how irrelevant and non-clever your posts can be?

Posted by: Whorish Mouth at December 2, 2009 1:49 PM

Nice suggestion, sarina - Listen Lurksquadron, I never have anything of any importance to say. Ever. The only reason I post anything at all is because I suffer from the crippling fear if I don't post, I'll crap out my guts.

For reals.

Don't know when it started exactly, but ever since I first posted here - close to two years ago, I'd guess - I've had the irrational and completely retarded fear that if one day goes by where I don't post, I'll sit down to have a run-of-the-mill bowel movement and next thing you know, my insides are floating in the bowl and I am nothing but a skin husk with pubes...

Sometimes I've been known to post as other people. Sometimes I ramble about absolutely nothing. Most times I'm in a drunken stupor and my only saving grace is waking up from blackout (usually in the neighbor's backyard), finding my pants, and checking my browser history to ensure I won't dook out my internal organs next time I make the poopsies.

So don't worry about someone else having said what you would've said better but you didn't say it because they said it first before you could say it even - that's asinine. Instead, try to imagine something absolutely fucking horrible happening to you should you decide to stay huddled in your Lurkcloset. That's what I did, and look at me now! I suffer from multiple personality disorder, have a staggering dependance on alcohol, cancelled out any possibility of running for Public Office, my family hates me, and I've been threatened by the Albino Equality League. Pretty good for a 53 year old ex-con, huh? Dang right...

So comment away - after all, without comments, this site would be nothing but stellar reviews and a highly respected source of entertainment news.

Posted by: Skitz at December 2, 2009 1:49 PM

Blah, I've been relegated to lurker status ever since I defended a lurker for commenting that some lurkers felt left out because the site can come off as a bit cliquey. Since then not a damn one of you listens to me and I couldn't give a shit.

Lurkers, listen up! You're wonderful, you're perfect. If you'd like to comment feel free to do so! Just because someone doesn't respond because you're not quite part of the in-crowd doesn't mean someone's not listening. I look intently for new names to see what the new peanuts have to chime in on.

You're giving out the wroooong message, Kayanne. No one has "relegated" you to lurker status. The fact that you used the word 'relegated' makes it seem like being a lurker is a bad thing. Some people like being lurkers and others like to participate. It's as simple as that. Everyone is more than welcome to be a part of the community, and if you don't want to be, that's cool, too. Nobody is forcing anyone to post more or to post less.

Posted by: Sofía at December 2, 2009 1:50 PM

My word in edgewise:

Discovered Pajiba years ago, before the great disk-confiscation by Homeland Security. Found a kindred spirit in the whole "if it sucks, then say it sucks" attitude in the reviews, stayed because the comments usually made me giggle in my cubicle, extremely touched by the familial experience at the passing of Alabamapink (RIP). Really is there any other site that would do that?

Don't comment as often as I used to with the new job and duties and actually being a whole lot busier, but peruse (ok, lurk) every day...

Posted by: figgy at December 2, 2009 1:52 PM

It's okay, Spender, back when I had actual TV channels I would watch NCIS when it came on. Live. With actual commercials. That's how much I liked it. I would always hope that my roommate would be late coming home so that I wouldn't have to change the channel out of shame.

And I had a total crush on Abby. Tall, sexually confident women do it for me every time. I have no idea if she's actually tall, but she is in my imagination. So there.

Plus, and I can't believe I'm writing this, I actually came to care about the characters.

And Mark Harmon is like the platonic ideal of the "silver fox."

Posted by: erik the shred at December 2, 2009 1:52 PM

Is it wrong that when I read the word "moonlight" I thought of the awful vampire private-eye show to which I used to be addicted?

Maybe not, because then I saw that Danna has love for Twilight, so maybe it's the juju. I dunno.

Judge me.

Yes DeadBessie I was so unbelievably excited about the most amazing promo I had ever seen sample quote:
Seagal 'Lawman': (wearing shades at nighttime a la Horatio Caine) What the Hell is he doing, Man???
Other Cop: Is he, Is he doing DONUTS!!!
They then drag the man from the car.
Or
(when a man is being arrested)
Criminal: Wait is that Steven Seagal!!!???
Seagal 'Lawman': (smouldering, take no prisoners, under seige stare)
Criminal: Damn I gotta get his Autograph!

So I ran to tell my lil bros and ended up kicking a marble table. Hurts like an effing bitch.

"Come out and play, Lurkers," they say. "It'll be fun," they say. "No one will be made into lampshades," they say. But right now me and a lampshade have something in common: NEITHER ONE OF US IS WRITING MY THESIS.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go join the Facebook group so that when I come back here there will be some new comments to read.

Posted by: erik the shred at December 2, 2009 2:08 PM

I’ve been a lurker for at least a year now, but it’s not entirely by choice. Julie keeps me locked up in her basement and rarely allows me access to the interwebs. Even when she does, I usually can’t type because my hands are tied up. I had to bribe her with cheap wine and Smarties just to let me post this. She does keep me entertained, though, with her dramatic readings of Twilight and her constant stumbles both down and up the basement stairs. Someday she’ll knock herself out and then I’ll make my escape. Ah, dare to dream…

Dunno if I still qualify as a lurker if I occasionally contribute, when by occasionally I mean once in a blue moon. It's mostly just that I'd want my comments to be responsive, which necessitates reading the other comments, which I don't really have the time to keep up with.

Yay, lurkers. See, we told you we're inviting and welcoming and handsy.

Sometimes you find something soft and fuzzy and you pet its head too hard and break its neck. It happens.

I've commented all of 3 times, and I almost peed myself when I got a response (even if it was to talk about how the West Coast of BC wasn't as awesome pakawesome as I described - but truly I love our annual rainfall with a chance of frost). I do have a request as a paheeba lurker for life: pretty please Dustin can you start a weekly feature of your employees/regular commenters?
At the gym I work out at they regularly post an athlete profile that the athlete writes themselves. Pajiba could use something similar to satisfy the curiosity of us lurkers. We have so many unanswered questions: Figgy where did your sweet Honduran ass pick up English that puts my own to shame? TK what the hell is in your cellar/basement? Barbadoslim and Vermillion why do you hates each other? And Pinky McLadyBits do you realize how much joy your handle brings me?
Just a suggestion from a devoted lurker. You are all bitching geniuses and I just want to know your stories with the hopes that I can stalk your lives and become as cool as y’all.

You're a monster, jM. A MONSTER. I think of that poor panda, shackled to a wall. His asshole the size of a coffee can . . .

Woo! Is it getting hot in here? I, uh, have to go, um, open a window (plow BananaPanda).

See, in answer to your query, it's very simple, those other guys are assholes, the real panty moistening goes on when I'm on the scene.

It's totally self-explanatory.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at December 2, 2009 2:23 PM

Aw, PeachPie! I am so very glad to bring joy to you through my name. This thread is my favorite!

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at December 2, 2009 2:24 PM

I just found this site in April of this year. I commented right away and continue to comment, albeit infrequently, because I suffer from foot in mouth disease, which contrary to popular belief, does present in the written word as well. Much to my absolute delight, after very few comments, the Venerable Spender ‘friended’ me on Crackbook and many Pajibans followed. I now have a very respectable collection of Paji-friends (I feel cherished and molested (the good kind, seriously, and no admin didn’t make me say that) all at once!) and still I don’t comment all that often. In fact, I only continue to comment so that I may grow my collection (and feel that oh so enjoyable mixture). Also, I enjoy abusing parentheses in my spare time.

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller Queen' at December 2, 2009 2:24 PM

So I don't know if I count as a lurker, cause I only started posting recently, and still not very often. Partly it is because I live in Honolulu, which puts me several hours behind everyone, partly that I am afraid of people yelling at my inability to spell, and partly because the first time I posted I got my ass handed to me by someone who didn't understand that I was being sarcastic. Probably my fault, but who could actually believe that anyone on this site would want the Risk movie to be Jumanjiesk, in which the kids play the game and then get sucked into an epic land battle between armies wearing primary colors.

But my fear aside, the site it awesome and I love reading the threads. As a full time office grunt and a full time grad student, this lovely site is really the only down time I give my exhausted little brain.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 2:25 PM

By 'retrieval' he means 'sexing'.

Since I'm not a lurker (though neither "regular" in any sense other than my digestive system, nor even remotely eloquent) does that preclude me from being retrieved for sexing? I will stifle my disappointment and continue my aversion to shutting the fuck up when I have nothing to say.

I will, on the other hand, totally own pushing the New Moon thread to exceed 500 comments, because I am a sick bitch. Besides, we finished off with Shakespeare, and that fucker knew how to twist a phrase.

As a looongtime former lurker I join in the shout out to anyone who is skulking about the shadows afeared to say something because it might not be 'good enough'.
Bullshit. Nothing I ever say is particularly witty, (usually just dirty) and often it goes over pretty well and makes me happy all day. When I make the EE's, I do a happy dance and send it to my 2 friends who 'get it'.

As far as being a Thread Killer, I am West Coast and am often the last one up it seems, so more late comers please! The sign says 'Open!'.

I hear you, Alexandra. I've been a Pajiban for about 4 years and I still find myself lurking most of the time. But that's cool, because I laugh painfully hard at most of these comments.

For chrissakes, alls we eat is bamboo, how can we be fat...that shit tastes like fucking water, but now that we have the reputation for being the only living fucking thing that eats it (besides the Chinese) we feel we need to stick with the stereotype.

Now if you will excuse me, I am going to take Tracers advise and run...I think I may be able to avoid the rapin'.

Is it wrong that when I read the word "moonlight" I thought of the awful vampire private-eye show to which I used to be addicted?

Oh, stardust, no. I had hopes for that show, but it was vampire angst minus the sparkle. The useless blond was no better than the Bella Swans of this world and Shohohohaana whatsername spent so much time actressin' that I couldn't even lose myself in her pretty. There was one good bloodsucker in the lot, and they showed him far too little. Why is it so hard for folks to understand that people who have to suck on you to live are monsters?

I love love you guys too much. Let me count the ways

1. The snarkyness
2. The witty banter
3. The level of intelligence overall
4. The love of everything Pixar
5. For pointing out Firefly, 500 Days of summer, Glee, Burn Notice etc
6. The Family guy hate
7. The BarbadoSlim
8. Pajibacon, Butt-day, Paheeba, Cannonball read and other Pajiba-specialities
9. The unashamed man-love of Ryan Renolds, RDJ and that the most bangable list is co-ed.
10. The "what's good for you" lists.
11. Boobs

and more...

love

Aw, thanks myysharona! I always look for you and KBalls on the Pajiba after Dark threads so we can take over with our SYTYCD love.

This whole thread is an absolute joy to read. We've got panda raping and clown pictures and broken toes and english lit majors, and it's hysterical. It almost makes me want to join Facebook so I can get to know some of you better. So far I've resisted because updating a profile and reading everyone else's sounds like a major pain in the ass.

I also love the idea of a comment diversion in which everyone explains the handle they picked.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at December 2, 2009 3:05 PM

I semi-lurk for a bunch of reasons, though intimidation isn't one. In all my time on the intertubes, the worst I ever got was harsh language and on the scale of horrible things, harsh language is eminently survivable. Picture your abuser as a hairy, 42 year old 400lb manchild who has never known the love of a good man/woman/orangutan and rest easy in your sense of superiority.

Mainly it's time (you folks sure are prolific), but it's also a tendency to speak in essays, mixed with an alternating tendency to be taciturn to the point of being cryptic. It is my life's ambition to be pithy.

Posted by: Squirrelgripper at December 2, 2009 3:05 PM

I've been reading the site for almost 4 years now. I don't have a cute or clever (or cleverly cute) handle to go by, so I've always gone by Brian... Which isn't even my real name... if you think it is... haha...

I don't comment too often, but I did, once, make it to eloquent elegance once.

So I don't know if that makes me a lurker. I'm more of a watcher. Call me the Uatu of the bitchy blog world.

I actually lurked here four about a year and a half before I started commenting on stuff last month. So hi!

Oh, and I am (usually) a Master-Class Lurker. I don't have friends lists, I follow OTHER people's friends lists. I watch blogs from afar... like Batman, perched on a gargoyle in Gotham City. But Pajiba has melted me down with it's damn comment diversions and funny peeps and I just sort of wanted to join the party. Besides, from the moment I randomly stumbled across this sight, I new, in my heart of hearts, I was a Pajiban. It was most likely the firefly/iron man icons at the top of the page that tipped me off.

BSlim--is there any other way to get through a Poli-Sci curriculum? I had a lab partner once who majored in Poli-Sci, and dude was either hammered, hungover, or talking about how hungover he was from being hammered the night before. We didn't get much work done, but damn if he wasn't fun.

I lurked for years. I only started commenting about a year or so ago, and let me tell all you lurkers out there how rewarding it is!

First off, you get the satisfaction of joining some pretty ridiculous conversations (boobs, panda rapin', alcohol, vermillion/bslim fights, and ya know...the occasional movie discussion)

Secondly, if you don't comment you will never know the joy of placing on the EE's. I literally yelped the first time I saw my name on the list.

Thirdly, there are some cool motherfuckers to be met here.

Join us.

We all float down here.

Posted by: ashes at December 2, 2009 3:21 PM

Awww thanks, the four of you who responded to me!

stardust you're so sweet. Thanks, sugarbean! Despite that southern accent, I'm not being sarcastic. Just... Hospitable?

buc, ,, tater, and a shitload of other handles, I've had your "lurve" and it left me stranded in a motel room with a bruise on my forehead and a laundry list of excuses I had to make to the cleaning staff. BAM! Pun. Also, you've refused to tell me if your daughter's name is Tater Tot, an offense I find inexcusable.

Sofia you're right. I'll keep my mouth shut and my opinions to myself!

Lauren, another thanks.

But honestly, I've learned a few key bits of information about Pajiba. One, don't ever dissent if you wanna be on EE. Two, post for yourself, don't give a shit whether or not anyone's listening. Three, try and stay away from "ape-ray" topics or having a name that sounds like "p00pie." You'll thank me later.

Excuse me whilst I go play on the island of misfit toys.

Posted by: Kayanne at December 2, 2009 3:24 PM

I've been mostly lurking for about four years and this site cracks me up. I spend so much time reading the comments and laughing that I usually never take the time to write my own. I have to admit that I am a BSlim stalker and wept for months when he was tied up in the basement. Words cannot express the joy I felt after that first sighting of his name after the long sad drought. There should be a support group for those of us that are both repulsed and yet insanely aroused by this magnificent beast. Come on girls, admit it -there's more of you out there. Please don't let it just be me.

Also - I vote for more cute and surprised kittens!!

Posted by: Lulu at December 2, 2009 3:26 PM

I do make an effort to put unknowns in the EE every week

figgy, that explains how I made it last week, I guess. Well, you just see if I keep going with this uphill climb out of the deep ass (gross) cave I lurked in for years.

I'll totally keep climbing. I'm not as prolific as some, but I feel way too cool for school now. Hear that lurkers! Commenting is cooler than education!

That's not to say I don't completely enjoy the mayhem after the fact!

I have to admit that I am a BSlim stalker and wept for months when he was tied up in the basement. Words cannot express the joy I felt after that first sighting of his name after the long sad drought. There should be a support group for those of us that are both repulsed and yet insanely aroused by this magnificent beast.

Longtime lurker, very occasional poster because:
1. Almost west coaster so by the time I go to post, someone has already pointed out that choosing 30 Rock over Deadwood is goddamned criminal (and I really like 30 Rock) and, hey, why don't more people remember the awesomeness that is Dead Like Me.
2. Usually, can't post 'til the end of the day--all my cleverness has been used up--I can barely type let alone snark.
3. although I can fake being an extravert with my students (not English major, but English teacher), socializing is work--I can't keep up with the people I have social obligations to, let alone you web weirdos
4. I don't get the Ryan Reynolds obsession, Dustin
5. Barbado Slim scares me. In a sort of fascinating, can't look away from the car wreck/serial killer sort of way.
But, don't ever change Pajibans (except for the Ryan Reynolds thing).

I, lurker, have posted a couple of times under a different fictional name, and I’m using this fictional name to protect the identity of that other fictional poster and to avoid residual shame. I agree with those who contend that many lurkers are intimidated by the ultra high quality material submitted regularly by the regulars. (See EE.) Since I don’t have the same shit filter as the normal lurker, I can freely let loose whenever something seemingly brilliant comes to mind or bowels. (Still waiting.) I also disagree that it’s cliquey around here. It’s more like anarchy, but not the good kind.

Posted by: PANDA at December 2, 2009 3:53 PM

I was all prepared to delurk but after reading through the thread I am handle self-conscious.

I thought about Rasputin, (after being recently nicknamed by the bf’s family, should I be insulted? I pwned those old ladies at dominos, no apologies.) which has the rumored benefit of not being able to die. That would come in handy if TK succeeds in rounding up the recently delurked.

However, while scathing and clever, Rasputin never acquired the level of sass necessary to be called bitchy. So I think I’ll stick with the given name for now…

If you can't think of a handle, I'm sure there's some magic formula like Quote+charactername(reference)>lyric/pun(joke)=awesome.

Take "Not The Bees", for instance. You've already made 800 friends. "Super Tiger Sex Commando" will grant you an instant harem (mixed sex, of course). There's lots to choose from! In fact, I think I need a name. I'm tired of being me.

I was pleased to note in the definitions section of the initial comment description that I don't count as a lurker, since I have commented before.

Unfortunately it appears that people who seldom post are also classifying themselves as lurkers, so perhaps I can't rest on my laurels and continue to abstain from this discussion.

I have been visiting the site for at least four years. I have posted a minimum of three times, and perhaps as many as six times which, in my view should clearly classify me as a non-lurker if not quite an eloquent.

As can be seen from this comment, my writing quickly tends towards the lengthy and uninteresting. The odd time that it doesn't, I will sometimes hit "Post Comment".

DeadBessie, I am there for the SYTYCD threads as much as possible, but sometimes I have to catch it on DVR later. Total bastard move that I will not stop doing.

Impressive turnout thus far, although I think BSlim accidently groped my shit in all the excitement. Eh. At least I know what direction my nightmares will take this evening.

Posted by: Kballs at December 2, 2009 4:08 PM

I've been coming to this site since I was 16. I don't even remember how I stumbled upon it but I think having the influence of all you crazy mofo's during the last couple years of my youth has made for an interesting young adult...my friends don't know what to say most days.

I would like to point out that the "90210" in my handle has nothing to do with either show. I've used it for years simply because I wanted a series of numbers that I could actually remember.

And my name rhymes with panda. Should I be concerned?

Ok, I´ll also post something even if the thread is dead now...Being in Germany I usually am also late to the party or at work when you guys decide to finally kick off the day. Then I get home and see all the wonderful comments and think to myself: Nah, I`ll never be as funny or eloquent (even though my english is good...)and that is how I have spent the last 2 to 3 years. Lurking. But there were a few times when I was really close. Like when someone reviewed my favourite books in the cannonball read or when you actually decided to do another one. The only thing that kept me from joining was the blog thing. I`ve barely joined facebook! Ok this turned into a rather long post but after all this time I think I`m entitled.

Posted by: John Denver's Wingman at December 2, 2009 4:35 PM

I think I've commented once before on the grammy thread or something, but I've generally been a lurker for a year and a half now. Pajiba is the ONLY source I trust when it comes to movie reviews (and sometimes TV). If Pajiba loves it, it's pretty much guaranteed that I will love it.

Oh, I don't comment because of my irrationally low self-esteem and lack of wit. Also, grad school takes up a shitload of my time, so I usually only have time to peruse the articles and nothing more.

Posted by: Crystal at December 2, 2009 4:37 PM

PANDA...SAVE YOURSELF

Posted by: Manda90210 at December 2, 2009 4:37 PM

OK, yeah, I've been lurking for some time now, but today you've all inspired me to say a few words. Only a few, however...

Here are three of the many reasons I love to waste my employer's time and money by spending time reading these posts instead of slogging through my to-do list:
1. No one ever uses 'LOL' in their posts; that sends me into a homicidal rage that can only be matched by misuse of apostrophes
2. I feel somehow validated as a person whenever I actually recognize an obscure reference from one of you clever posters (well, obscure to me anyway; shut up and let me continue to bathe in self-congratulation)
3. When PANDA says "cut a bitch" it kinda turns me on

Oh, Pajiba, you had me at 'scathing' and 'bitchy'

Posted by: Flo at December 2, 2009 4:38 PM

My first date with Mr. smalls was to see Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior. When the movie was over, I knew two things: Tony Jaa was an ass-kicking machine AND the handsome gentleman next to me would indeed be Mr. smalls one day.

I almost lost my nerve to comment, after seeing 300+ posts before me, but figured if I'm ever going to write a comment for Pajiba, now's the time. I have nothing much to say, except thank you all for consistently making my day a little bit sunnier. Maybe I'll try to join in more often in the future -- you do indeed seem like a welcoming bunch (thanks to Sarina for suggesting this diversion). Also, shout out to my fellow Victorian, PeachPie! Let us unite under our umbrellas and light-weight wintercoats.

Posted by: Precious Lillywhite at December 2, 2009 5:36 PM

Well fuck me running, this has turned into one hell of a diversion. I guess I'm technically a lurker - I post here and there, but not so much lately. The problem is that I work nights and usually don't post until very late, and as such my comments tend to land with a thud somewhere near the end of the thread (as this one's bound to do), or I find that everything relevant has been said already.

I really only wanted to say that I think Sarina is a gloriously cracked-out ho. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Posted by: CallMeGinger at December 2, 2009 5:40 PM

I never comment, mainly because I never have anything to say but I love to hear everyone else's rantings and ravings. By the time I get to the thread of a movie I'm interested in seeing or mocking, the thread has usally become insane and wonderful and I'd rather just read. I've been reading since before the FBI pulled the site down (that was weird) and at the moment I'm a lowly grad student.

Posted by: crabtree at December 2, 2009 5:41 PM

See? See how fun unlurkabling is? I've said it before and I'll say it again - Delurk, unless:

01. I owe you money.
02. You're an Albino.
03. You're related to BSlim - No offense, but the site would collapse upon itself.
04. Cap'n Rowles and his immediate family have a restraining order against you.
05. There are more than ANY Ed Hardy shirts in your closet.
06. We did the business on the Carnival Cruise '05 and you're pissed about the STDs.
07. You strive for "FRIST BITCHZ" over at AICN.
08. You're an Albino (I cannot emphasise how important this is to the integrity of the site)

Posted by: branded at December 2, 2009 5:44 PM

Seeing as I have been to Pajibacon East and interact with a plethora of Pajibians on Facebook, I can't really call myself a lurker. But I haven't really commented as much as I've done in the past, which is totally not acceptable. I'll have to change that for 2010.
As for the lurking, I find it hard to have people consistently read my blog. I'll post something, but it doesn't always seem to get recognition or whatever is deserves. So if anything, I promise to post more if you all promise to read it.
In closing, I'm glad so see so many new faces and hear what others have to say. I've read Pajiba since it was a baby and I am glad to say I've continued it into what it is today.

This will be my very first post after at least 3 years of reading this site daily. This diversion was a well-timed request, as I'm currently attempting to write 3 excruciatingly long papers for my Master's program. These papers have torn at my soul in such a way that neither Facebook or Twitter can fix it. Therefore I have finally succumbed to the fantastic, rambling comment threads here.

I would ask you to dance with me, but I am not any where near cool enough to count as one of the cool people you want to ask you. I am that annoying person you might say yes to at the end of the night, just cause no one else has come a courtin'.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 6:02 PM

Whoops. I am WELL late to this party but I blame the time difference and uh...stuff.

I started reading Pajiba about 4 years ago and have maybe commented 3 or 4 times. I generally find internet communities quite terrifying things so tend to just read the good reviews on here, click the links and marvel at how irate people get about weird shit.

Posted by: orangina at December 2, 2009 6:03 PM

redhead and BloodyMary , I've worked up my newfound, wallpushing courage (which developed approximately one hour ago) in order to say that you both look really hot tonight. Way too hot for the punch table. The glow from the discoball is really working for you.

Posted by: CallMeGinger at December 2, 2009 6:09 PM

CallMeGinger Way to grab the bull by the horns! Nicely done.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 6:11 PM

That's no discoball, CallMeGinger. That's SparkleTits cage dancing.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at December 2, 2009 6:12 PM

Well I'm sufficiently aroused now, so lets hit the dancefloor kids! I'm all about shaking my groove thang. Yes, I just said 'thang'.

Posted by: redhead at December 2, 2009 6:14 PM

And I'm spent. Didn't know if I could fit that 340th comment in, but I dropped jaw like a snake and made it work.

Whew! You are a prolific bunch of funny motherfuckers. I'm just lucky that this whole thread was lubed up in peanut butter, panda pheromones, and a light smattering of tears, made it all go down a little easier.

Posted by: Ulterior Motive Girl at December 2, 2009 6:16 PM

Admin, Canada could not ask for a better representative at Pajiba. As we Canucks unite and gather our hockey sticks, tourtiere, and multi coloured money maybe we can convince the powers that be at Pajiba to post more Canada friendly video links. It breaks my maple leaf shaped heart when certain videos are only available to our sub 49th neighbours.

Precious Lilywhite, join me in celebrating a day of no rain, but the first frost! The official Victoria winter is here! Snow-free Victorians come together!

Posted by: PeachPie at December 2, 2009 6:16 PM

I think I can count the amount of times I've commented on one hand-- and each time has been under a different handle. Also, I think I may have to dispute that Threadkiller status, Nieve. I always wait too long to post anything and other commenters have usually moved on to more fertile grounds. I'm that lazy cow that always sleeps through the stampede, leaving my post to be that last pathetic puff of dust and cow pats. In fact, I predict that this thread will end riiiiight about... here.

(Here is my cow pat: I wish I had jumped in that conversation about Sonics in PA all those many years ago. Someone mentioned the one in buttfuck, Central PA-- that's mine! Oh, what conversations we might have had! /end cow pat.)

Morgan LaFai Thank you, my dear. You may have unleashed a monster.

MelBivDevoe , SparkleTits cage dancing...now that is a magical image.

Posted by: brenia at December 2, 2009 6:21 PM

What a surprise to come home from work and see a 300+ comment thread for lurkers! I've been lurking around here for about a year and loved it. This site got me through 4 months of unemployment in the suburbs (living in Michigan can be a bitch that way). Thanks for the encouragement to delurk...hopefully I can add some scathing and bitchy comments here and there.
Plus, I was really excited that there wasn't another "Katie" posting on here, so I could just use my name as my handle.
/boring.

P.S. I'm sad that I can't join in on all this peanut butter lovin...I'm allergic.

Posted by: Katie at December 2, 2009 6:22 PM

Ah but you see Ma Cherie its not that I comment after a thread has ended its more I Actually Kill the thread. I post and it dies, its like the stank of my lameness infects everyone and they run away from my gross, fetid, shriveled loneliness of sucktitude.

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller Queen' at December 2, 2009 6:22 PM

Cage dancing? I'm in. Wallflower no more!

P.S. I will be accepting tips (in the form of cash money, not like "hey you should try doing that with you leg behind your head") I have to pay for grad school somehow; hopefully the university accepts payment in ones.

Posted by: BloodyMary at December 2, 2009 6:29 PM

If we left-coasters don't keep this shit up, we'll all be joining NTTQ in the Threadkiller Club*.

This has inspired me. Perhaps I'll start posting on long dead threads. You won't believe the fuss the "Night at the Museum" review kicked up.

*Threadkiller Club copyrighted, as I will shortly be starting a band with that name.

Posted by: welldressed at December 2, 2009 6:30 PM

pissboy

You do have quite a bit of talent in picking names for those who de-lurk. I still love mine. So, threadkiller, embrace your newfound identity, and go with it.

P.S. For any lurkers out there, it really is a great deal of fun to come out and play with the girls and guys of pajiba. I'm not remotely as clever, witty, or scathing as your average eloquent, but I still have a great time occasionally commenting.

Posted by: "luker" the barbarian at December 2, 2009 6:31 PM

Oooo, I likes some of these freshly de-lurked 'Jibans. When the zombie apocalypse happens I want Reba and erik the shred killing zombies with me. Reba loves Twilight so she and I (and Sofia, cause she automatically survives) can sit around and discuss where we want Mick St. John to suck. And erik has a 'k' at the end of his name, which means he kicks lots of ass.

Now all y'all lawyers and English majors just sit still. Mel and I are going to flex our Psych degrees and analyze your twisted minds.

Posted by: stardust at December 2, 2009 6:31 PM

TheMaskedEmu, the image of a masked emu typing out such amusing comments is making me giggle.

I miss being a frequentish commenter. However, thanks to work recently deciding to block Pajiba on me, I am a born again lurker. *sigh*

You know who else is a surprisingly bitchy bunch? The people who comment on food network recipes. Here's one: IT CLEARLY SAY'S TO BAKE TILL THE EDGES ARE LIGHTLY BROWNED. DON'T YOU READ BEFORE BEING SUCH A CRITIC? I BET YOU BUY SLICE AND BAKE COOKIES

It's probably because they're hungry.

Oh you tasty tasty lurkers. See how funny you all are? You can do this. There's too many of you for me to pick on you all specifically, but seriously, no one who's posted so far has any reason to worry about whether we're enjoying your comments.

Posted by: PeachPie at December 2, 2009 6:35 PM

This is awesome...what a fantastic idea Sarina!! And good to see you Kayanne and Bistro! And to all the lurkers out there, we're not really that scary. We're actually all a bunch of softies, and it tends to be kind of a love-in around here these days.

Two things...I'm kind of loving BStout. Also, where the hell is Eep?

Posted by: Smokin at December 2, 2009 6:40 PM

Thank you for such a mouthwatering welcome, admin. I'll do my best to live up to the high standards you've set for us. And yes, PeachPie, it's been a glorious day, with the sun and the crisp air... Although I feel a bit ashamed that my first foray into commenting has ended up being about the weather. Could I be any more Canadian? Nevertheless, it's nice to have some be-touqued brethren (and sistren?) to help me ease my way into Pajiba-land. Or that could just be the moose gravy.

Posted by: Precious Lilywhite at December 2, 2009 6:40 PM

Human Centipede:

You forgot their immaculate makeup on your emoticons. Human centi dos and tres had flawless mascara. Is it weird that amongst all the crazy in the stills from the movie that what I notice is the mascara?

NTTQ, I believe you about your charisma. I have to, as I am not wearing any pants for you to knock off. You can be the frontwoman, and I will play bass*.

Anyone else want in Threadkiller Club? Lemme know what instrument you "play". But I'm cutting it off at seven members. This is not Polyphonic Spree.

*because I'm black.

Posted by: welldressed at December 2, 2009 6:48 PM

Come on, there must be more history majors on this site. Talk about a useless major. Hopefully my masters in Diplomacy and Military Studies (yes, that is what I am currently studying) will be more useful. Though any job would be better then my current job. I alphabetize boxes and boxes of files, but the kicker, I'm dyslexic. It makes the job super fun.

But I have to hand it to this thread, it is making my work day so much more enjoyable then usual.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 6:56 PM

Morgan LaFai, if History counts as a useless major, I'd like to nominate Anthropology as well. When slinging drinks is more lucrative...

Posted by: Alexandra at December 2, 2009 6:59 PM

Also, Nat, weren't we supposed to have a tea party, you and I? With ridiculously large hats, IIRC?

Posted by: Anna von Beaverpuppet at December 2, 2009 1:35 PM

YES WE WERE, MISS ANNA. If you're ever in the Baltimore region, you just give me a call. I will drop my monocle into my brandy sniffer from the shock, then make reservations. And buy more hats.

Also, since there's apparently another Nat hanging out here now, I guess I can't be just Nat anymore because that'd be way too confusing. AN ARMY OF NATS! IMAGINE! Not to be confused with an army of gnats, which is mildly irritating but far less ominous.

I thought long and hard (5 seconds) about how to alter my name, but then it came to me (cat was sitting next to me making kitty faces and I had absolutely nothing else). So there you have it.

Posted by: Nat Kittyface at December 2, 2009 7:01 PM

Can I be in the Threadkiller Club band? I can play guitar and tap dance at the same time (though that may qualify me more for 'Box of Bedazzlers)!

Posted by: Alexandra at December 2, 2009 7:01 PM

Pinky, congratulations, you just made me vomit in my mouth a little.

Morgan LaFai, I am now officially your band groupie. Bedazzle me, bitches!

Posted by: redhead at December 2, 2009 7:01 PM

Double up, Morgan LaFai. You're british, right? You can be in two bands at once. Hell, Jack White is in like forty-three bands right now. In fact, I think Jack white is the guitar player in Threadkiller Club, but I'm not sure as he never shows up to rehearsal.

Primadonna.

Posted by: welldressed at December 2, 2009 7:02 PM

That's it! Alexandra's in, Jack White is out.

Thanks, Sarina! All this craziness was wrought from your medicated haze and boy has it been a fun read.

Posted by: Peanut_Butter_And_James at December 2, 2009 7:05 PM

I wish I could claim credit for the band name but it actually came from here. It was in the review of Twilight and I believe the complete quote was "As a vampire your biggest problem with sunlight makes it look like you fell into a box of bedazzlers. That's like saying Superman's biggest problem with kryptonite is that it makes his piss green. Keep fucking that chicken Ms. Meyers" It made me laugh so hard the people in the office actually glared at me.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 7:06 PM

Yay! Thanks welldressed! I'll work on my splits accross the dance floor.

Posted by: Alexandra at December 2, 2009 7:09 PM

welldressed I, think I will join your band, if you don't mind the fact that I am not, in fact, British. I taught British English for several years in Prague, so some of my words or expressions have a British sound to them. Now that I am back in the States it makes me sound like an obnoxious British wanabe, but meh, what can you do.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 7:11 PM

Well you see Alexandra we would love to have you but we are going for a more punk rock, operatic, 70's style, glam rock, motown, Bluesy, Tina Turneresque, Indie, R'n'B, Guns and Roses (in the early days)pop sound and I just dont know where Tap Dancing will fit in. Maybe you could be one of our pips?

Welldressed, Jack White called and he was all 'oh Im so sorry I cant make this rehearsal I have one of my numerous bands parties to go to'
I just hung up on him.

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller Queen' at December 2, 2009 7:14 PM

NTTQ, stop reading my mind. That is EXACTLY what I've been trying to accomplish with Threadkiller Club. You really get me. Plus, Alexandra can totally tap dance during one of LindsEy's drum solos.

Posted by: welldressed at December 2, 2009 7:17 PM

Hi! I definitely missed out on this thread toDAY. Just saw it mentioned in Pajiba After Dark, which is extremely handy btw. I've been meaning to de-lurk for a while (coughacoupleyearscough) but just haven't put forth the effort (coughpansycough). Ah well. So here I go toNIGHT.

Umm a bit about myself? Is that how this usually works? I just feel too lazy at the moment to go back and read the 300+ comments. Here goes:

Freshman in college. Blonde. Hiccups randomly.

But the important stuff:
Devoted fan of Veronica Mars, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural, Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny. Currently catching up on Lost, Weeds, and Dexter.
A glimpse into my favorite movies would include The Fifth Element, Wet Hot American Summer, The Shawshank Redemption, I Love You Man, Big, Ferris Bueller.

I also share Dustin's love of all things Ryan Reynolds and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Now that the first de-lurking step has been taken, I may pop in and comment every once in a while since Pajiba is the outlet of much of my procrastinations.

Kthxbye

Posted by: gee. ay. at December 2, 2009 7:18 PM

My tap dancing style is TOTALLY punk rock! Give me a chance! One of our songs could be a remix of "Dancing with Myself" with heavy bass...

Posted by: Alexandra at December 2, 2009 7:18 PM

Did I hear a roll call for history majors, Morgan LaFai? Double major in anthropology, you know, for job security. (That's a joke for any of you non-social science geeks out there.)

Oh Welldressed we are meant to be!!! I hereby extend an invitation to the Threadkiller Island started my DeadBessie and myself 150 posts ago. Its a place where all the threadkillers get together and eat cookies and ice cream until people are having to much fun talking and we kill the thread dead. Please say you'll come!

You loved every minute of it, PANDA.

I would totally join the ThreadKiller Club band, but I am already in a band called 'Box of Bedazzlers'.

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller Queen' at December 2, 2009 7:28 PM

There's an island involved! How did you dastardly few know that pina coladas were my one weakness in life? I slump into dazed but slurpy stupor in their presence. May I bat my eyes ever so humbly and fish for an invite? I'll bring the coconut bras and grass skirts.

Posted by: Ulterior Motive Girl at December 2, 2009 7:30 PM

UMG you have also Piqued my interest.
I super really like that word!

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller Queen' at December 2, 2009 7:31 PM

Ladies, and Gentleman I would like to introduce "Threadkiller Club"! (holds for applause) with...
NTTQ on lead vocals!
Alexandra on Guitar!
Welldressed on Bass!
DeadBessie on Keyboards!
Morgan LaFai on Rhythym Guitar (and background vocals)!
LindsEy on Drums!
and most importantly,
Redhead on Pole!

Please enjoy the show before your headliners, "Panda being Raped!"

Am I the only male in this band? Awesome.

Posted by: welldressed at December 2, 2009 7:39 PM

...and I got to the party late again. This is most of the reason I've been a lurker for so long (maybe a year or so before the Homeland Security bruhaha...how long's that?) That and being in England and so around 5 hours behind most of you guys. At least I think it's 5 hours. I have trouble with your time zone. Or zones. Zoni? Whatever, long enough that by the time I turn up, everyone's waay more drunk than me, the alcohol's all gone, most people are either passed out or making out and all that's left is Guess Who? bitching to thin, beer stained air.

Did I hear something about a band? I can play melodeon!

Posted by: Gumble at December 2, 2009 7:39 PM

Alexandra, Morgan, I always felt like Pajiba was lacking in the smokin' hot, tomb raiding in hot short khakis department. Glad to know there's a few other anthropologist-cum-any-other-profession ladies a lurking out there.

Actually, that latin preposition up there may not have been the best to use given the target audience of Pajiba. That's some low hanging fruit.

Posted by: Ulterior Motive Girl at December 2, 2009 7:39 PM

NTTQ, piqueing interest is just one of my many astounding talents.

Just don't ask me to list the others right now, as it's lunch time where I am. Bitch be hungry.

Posted by: redhead at December 2, 2009 7:41 PM

Note: I originally typed "I'm on the band", which really takes things in a whole new direction. A whole, new, sexy direction.

And Gumble, don't worry about being late. I'm in Australia, so technically I'm living in the future compared to you guys which I fear my makes me the nerd who turns up inappropriately early and makes the host all uncomfortable.

But I really like the bitterness factor in your post. Good times, go with it.

Well, I've posted several times here at Pajayjay under my various internet pseudonoms (some say multiple personality disorder)...I won't say what they are because all my names are very carefully compartmentalized to prevent the family from finding out about the porn that I post on the internet (although I'm pretty sure Google has connected all my aliases and sold my personal information to the Department of Homeland Security and Proctor Gamble). I guess that makes me a lurker. But I am here pretty much everyday.

Really, I'm only a little perverted, except for my unnatural love of the serial comma.

Posted by: stardust at December 2, 2009 9:20 PM

Ah, then all is forgiven. For a moment, I thought you were maligning my character. And considering I haven't fluffed a jouster in over 17 years, I was a bit worried that the slight was a karmic strike from my whorish past.

Ridiculing Twilight has become a hobby, but I'm still not going to read that last book. Not worth the hours it will take from my life when there are other trashy series to read.

We are however looking for someone cute to hock our fabulous merch.

Ah, but we have lawyers* up in here, Stacy. And I'm almost certain most of us could claim insanity by our mere presence here, not to mention the stuff we're willing to say in public, so let the little darling wander freely through the molesting hoards for a bit. Does a youngun good to get a taste of the way the world will treat you (though it may lead to expectations of higher than average wit/snark).

Sounds like I missed band auditions. Do you perhaps need groupies? Groupies in sexy panda-wear?

Posted by: Rezcat at December 2, 2009 10:10 PM

Rezcat, we always need groupies, especially sexy groupies, but don the panda-wear at your own risk. You should see our headliners.

Posted by: welldressed at December 2, 2009 10:13 PM

I've de-lurked only a few times but have been reading since before the government shut-down as well. Read every day. I only post when I'm just drunk enough to think I'm still a little clever but not quite enough to be incoherent, I think. I should add that Pajiba has the honor of being the only site I've EVER commented on. Now I feel kind of solitary and weird...fuck it, more wine.

Posted by: Rezcat at December 2, 2009 10:22 PM

Sorry Rezcat, I'm going to have to be the annoying Australian here - Koalas aint bears. They're marsupials.

Or more correctly, cuddly, drunken terrors. Deceptively cute, snorting, grunting vicious little devils who sleep 22 hours a day, high on eucalyptus oil.

Awwww Rezcat that was so sweet and cute I'm not even going to tell you that it's Snuggiepants and not Snugglepants. Actually I like Snugglepants. Or even Shnugglepants. Shnugglielicious. Shmugglepoopants the Deathbringer.

Ok that's enough, I'm punchy. And a new fan of yours.

Gilligiggle HEY GIRL. Listen, if anyone asks you to get in a van, even if they say they have Tootsie Rolls, even if they are just an innocent looking cute young lady, DON'T DO IT. Especially if she has sort of reddish hair and is really pretty. Nuh-uh. Yell things like "YOU'RE NOT MY MOM!" and "POLICE!"

Posted by: It's Not Montana at December 2, 2009 11:19 PM

Oh, stardust, that makes SO much more sense. The show was dreadful, but at least no one fucking sparkled. Now, if you want fun vampire cheesiness, check out Blood Ties, which I believe ran on the Lifetime channel in the US (no idea what station in Canada). At least the vampire gets laid in that series, even if no one else does. And, strangely, he drinks blood - from humans and everything! Still not great. The curse of vampire TV is that it, by nature, sucks.

Gilligiggle, don't listen to Snuggiepants. My van is totally safe. It's not all weird and creepy like jM's van. And I've got good candy, real chocolate. Milky Way minis, Snickers bites....don't you want to take a ride in the Stardust-Mobile? Reba is already inside.....

Posted by: stardust at December 2, 2009 11:36 PM

Reba: Though most modern vampire tv/movies are crap, True Blood is hands down one of my favorite shows currently on offer. Blood drinking, sunlight equals death, so much sex, and the whole idea of 'coming out of the coffin'. Damn, that show is awesome. So really, I don't think its fair to insult the entire genre just cause most of them are crap.

Posted by: Morgan LaFai at December 2, 2009 11:38 PM

I kinda wish jM would take a break from panda-rape, and focus on the neglected bears of Canadia.
Polar bears need lovin',too goddammit.

Hey Australians, What is it like in the future? Do you have hover-cars yet?

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at December 2, 2009 11:41 PM

We did, but they were outlawed. People kept using them to hover up into the trees and rape koalas.

I love you.

Well fucknuggets, I just got off work and missed all the fun. I'm so fucking sorry that I have to work nights. We all can't be liberal arts graduates with boring-ass desk jobs who work for companies that apparently never monitor our internet usage.

I love you guys, I'm just fucking bitter. And cranky. And goddamn fucking tired of this fucking bronchitis (Day 13)!!!!

LWA'e' - I thank you! I find that I'm much more hilarious on FB than on this site, though. So if you aren't my FB friend yet, then let me know. I go by Jenn TheYellowDart there...because I'm a paranoid schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur who should really lay off the cocaine.

And I remember the first time I commented. A few people read it the wrong way and I got SLAMMED. Like hardcore. And not the kind of hardcore slammed that makes me happy in the pants. I think it was Sarina that came to my defense/rescue. And I have loved her ever since.

So why aren't we friends on FB?

Pajiba Hotselsn.

One of you made that up, right? Right?

Anyway, I'm Natty Kittyface on FB (I know, so original, right? I came up with that one the same way I came up with this one after another Nat showed up - cat was staring at me). Feel free to invade.

Alright, between some of the comments I've read here and the introductory facebook messages I've received as I am friended, I am starting to wonder how much I am referred to outside of public forum and what exactly those discussions entail.

Also, I'm flattered.

Posted by: coryo at December 3, 2009 2:44 AM

Commander Strikeher your vitriol has warranted recognition. I hereby bestow upon you an honorary degree in Bullshit. It can be found at just about any liberal arts college under the following majors: anthropology, history, communications, philosophy, underwater basket weaving, pretty much whatever's your poison that don't require real science-y mumbo jumbo. You are now an honorary guest at any of our staid, fluorescent lit cube farm fetes. Don't be the lame ass that brings cups to the potluck.

matt- I read "Come out and PLAY!" exactly like it was a line from The Warriors. You are not alone, my friend.

I have also had that creepy-in-retrospect kiddie rhyme stuck in my head all night. The one about dollies and cellar doors and friends forever more. There's some Bad Seed material in there, I just know it.

Well, I've been lurking for a few years now and this is my second comment. Crazy, but lovely to be here.

Posted by: Elii at December 3, 2009 3:10 AM

I don't know if you'd call me a lurker, because I comment as much as I can/am interested, but that isn't much because I am not blessed with a job in a cubicle, so I can't Pajiba every day. By the time I get to posts they're usually about 2 days old and the comments I want to reply to are way past. For instance, I would like to ask Mr. Teatime if his name is pronounced 'tee-time' or 'te-AH tih-MAY', and see how many commentors recognize what I'm talking about (hint: it's not South Park), but his post was roughly 392 before mine.
Anyway, I've been reading Pajiba for about mumblemumble years now, since I found you through Go Fug Yourself, and I find that your reviews give me a good estimate of whether a movie is worth two hours and ten dollars nearly every time. Plus, where else on the internet can you find somewhere like this? Nowhere. I love how obssessed you all are not just with movies but with storytelling, so you keep writing hilarious articles and I'll keep reading and occasionally commenting.

Posted by: BiblioGeek at December 3, 2009 3:14 AM

I'm late for the party. I checked on this one at around 300 comments and basically just went...fuck.

So I'm here now.

And as the asshole that I am I say this.

Posted by: replica at December 3, 2009 3:54 AM

I have lurked since the early days, before dear Pajiba became a threat to national safety, was shut down by the Department of Homeland Security, and then rose again like a phoenix from the ashes.

During at least 4 road trips, I read aloud the review of "Benchwarmers," as well as that of The Hottest State (i.e. "Cut The Shit, Assbag"). Doing so without laughing is, indeed, harder than standing in the way of "Oprah at a James Frey and beefsteak convention."

In fact, I presented "Cut The Shit, Assbag" -- I swear I would not share this if I had not taken a painkiller for a back problem, for besides injustice and having to get out of bed to pee when you're tired, I loathe nothing more than snobbery -- as a piece of criticism I admired in a journalism course at an Ivy League University.

It was well received.

Thank you, Pajiba, for your loyalty to vitriol and cultural euphoria.

And for providing me to say "assbag" in class without consequence.

Posted by: usernomdeplume at December 3, 2009 5:04 AM

Late to the comments again, thanks to being on another continent... Have been reading the site for some three years now, commented exactly once.

I don't have nearly neough vitriol, I DO feel intimidated by the clique-speak and I still haven't grasped the need for a fucking Murdertank or Godtopus. But I've been around long enough to read the threads when those gems of drunken imagination emerged.

So there. I do love the reviews. I am watching you.

Posted by: Gardenia at December 3, 2009 6:17 AM

*ahem* Manda90210--by "in the bushes somewhere with a weird accent," what popejenn means to say is, "on the beautiful island of Cape Breton," of course. She may be right about the weird accent. Capital region, huh? I've heard much good about your fair city, would love to see it for myself one of these days!

For quite some time, I thought I was the lone Pajiban in the Atlantic provinces, but since then, we've had as many as four 'Jibans move here or out themselves as Nova Scotianers. Any more?

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller Queen' at December 3, 2009 7:36 AM

This thread's gonna have to stay at the top of the homepage for a while. It was fabulous to come into work this morning and see how many more Pajibans came out to play. This thread is like the gift that keeps on givin' (and the timing is great, since today is my birthday and I feel old and kinda sad, so thanks for cheering me up, lurkers and regular posters alike).

NTTQ, I'm totally up for the band. I play a bitchin' flute. I lay claim to the Island of Pajiba idea though, so I should totally be mayor. I'm happy being a mere figurehead, so someone else can wield the actual power, while I ride at the head of the annual Paheeba Day parade and cut ribbons at the openings of every Pajiba pub and the Panda Rapin' Roller Rink (and if you think those two things can't be combined, you're not trying hard enough).

You know what I'd love to see? A diversion in which we all pitch ideas for the physical development of the ideal Pajiban community (houses, businesses, attractions, gates and moats to keep the non-Pajibans out), which is then made into a map by some talented illustrator. The ThreadKillers need their own neighborhood, naturally, and a palace for their Queen; BSlim gets his own dungeon (open to the public); admin his own NippySpark and Sugar Daddy Emporium; LindsEy her own BareBack Riding Stables (whips optional)...you get the idea. We can sprawl out as more lurkers get into the act--naturally procreation will also be a top priority so we can increase our numbers---and eventually, Pajibans will rule the world.

I have thesame problem here as most non-USA (but still free), that when I lurk in the site at morning, you are all asleep. Aroudn 15hours you guys wake up again. Funny thing, ain't it?

And for the rest, I ussualy don't read the comments, you guys and galls just type to much, you little Stephen Kings.

Thanks brenia! Right now I'm studying Media and Communications with an emphasis on digital communities. All those worried you will be unflatteringly represented in my thesis can rest easy. Pajiba is not on my list... yet.

Also, I feel that I am in great company with Morgan LaFai, Alexandra and especially Ulterior Motive Girl. I can say that I proudly continue the tradition of doubling in History & Anthro for undergrad. Lets all congratulate ourselves on our absolutely useless accomplishments!

BSlim's head will be too big to limbo after this thread...

Posted by: LaBarbara at December 3, 2009 1:05 PM

I've been reading Pajiba for three or so years, and I've commented maybe three or four times - what can I say, BSlim is slightly terrifying. But between the fantastic reviews that inspired me to write reviews for my college newspaper, Dustin having practically the same taste in men as I do, and an online community filled with as much wit, vitriol, and heart as you people have, visiting Pajiba is and will always be part of my daily routine. And hey, now that I've commented on something besides which celebrities I'd bang, that's a toe in the water, right?

Also, yesterday in my film class I heard a boy ask his friend if he'd heard of a movie site called Pay-jib-ah. It's Finals time (no sleep) and I get excited easily, so I gave him a hug. In hindsight, maybe a tad creepy, but finding someone else in real life who reads Pajiba produces an irrepressible glee.

Posted by: Adrienne at December 3, 2009 1:30 PM

Here is me, scampering out to play.

I have been coming to this site almost everyday for the last 3 years, and today was the day I decided to post. Not because of this post (which I had not yet seen) But due to someone's comment on the Creed post. (It's amazing what the hatred of creed can compel you to do)

Now I can't stop. I think this site is amazing and it's the first thing I see when I opens the interwebs.

and now... a short story.

Just moments ago (in the middles of typing this comment) My mom calls me on the cell. I answer and at the same time realize my crotchfruit has made the most rank fumes imaginable. So I lay her on the changing table while the cell phone is pressed between my shoulder and ear. I take off her pants & her diaper and, OHHH what treasures to behold, a metric ton of brown gold. I wipe and clean and place a diaper on and reach up to grab her pants (which she always plays with and chews on as I change her) and I see IT. It seems that some poo had run up out the back of the diaper and got on her pants and I had missed it. Her sweet little cherub face was COVERED in shit. Her eyes, her nose, her mouth. I dropped the phone and grabbed for wipes to wash her up. The whole time she was smiling and laughing hysterically.
That's when it hit me.
She literally had a Shit Eating Grin on her face.

Then I thought about two girls and a cup, and all those poor little asian girls on the nets, and hoped upon hope that some strange childhood incident such as this hadn't set them on their paths.

(is it wrong, that for a split second, I considered taking a picture with my cellphone?)

Posted by: Davis at December 3, 2009 1:36 PM

I'm a mostly lurky, sometimes talky Pajiban. I just did the math and I've been coming here at least 4 years. Even though I don't hang here every single day or post all that often, Pajiba has had an influence on me. My hubby is not generally a Pajiba visitor but I send him occasional links from here and he realized I got some of my vocab from here. I've also gone by the name Fig or Lainiefig (not to be confused with Figgy, who seems like a cool chick).

Posted by: Lainie at December 3, 2009 1:42 PM

Fine, I am out. Nearly 4 years in hiding and here I am. A day late as usual. Truth be told, checking out this site is the highlight of my work day. Thankfully, it has not been blocked. I guess that when that day comes I will have to seek new employment as I do not think that I could get through the week without a good dose of the snark, wit, and bitchiness I get here. That being said, I will be back in my corner, keeping to myself.

Posted by: HarperJay at December 3, 2009 2:01 PM

I somehow missed this thread yesterday!

Long-time reader (a link to the Iron Man review first brought me here when the movie came out), first-time poster but I figure I had to join in with the other lurkers and "show my face". Not much to say other than (a) I try to visit every day even though I'm supposed to be doing actual work whilst at work, (b) I've discovered some great movies/TV via this site that I might otherwise have missed so thank you, (c) I love the no bullshit reviews, and (d) I'm not ashamed to admit that L'WAE and AvB are my first ever internet crushes.

Back to pretending I'm working!

I have been reading this site for a couple of years now. I started when I was bored at work and decided to look up a review of crap movie. I feel in love with PAJIBA! I don't comment much, but I love reading the comments when I can. I really love this site! Yes, I'm excitable.

Posted by: NajeePajee at December 3, 2009 3:39 PM

Why do I lurk? Because I'm an introvert and social interaction can be exhausting. I've been visiting for about four years, decloaking here and there for a comment diversion. Despite my lack of online presence, I want you to know that you beautiful bunch of crazies keeps me laughing, outraged, warm-hearted and sane, and I love you all for it. I wanna grow old with you!

LwaE: My newest FB friend! I have yet to stalk you on the fb world. Unfortunately my work blocks the social networking page known as bookface (also youtube which means I read the Pajiba all day long then go home to watch any videos I missed). Enjoy stalking me through photos such as: me working out and looking like death, me while in university (thus heavier, which now means I have to workout until near death to try and regain the pre-uni bod), and me trying not to ruin my friend's wedding photos. I wanted to punch that photographer: "Oooh, what you just did was so great, can you do it again so I can take a picture? Thanks! Candid!"
You are a photographer, do you NOT know what candid means?
And now I have one scathy, bitchy, internet whore to add to a pajiba-less friend list. My world grows.

But Lindsey with an 'e' whilst scolding you for trying to break 600 the dear Dr. very carefully took comment spot 599, 600 & 601. I think he knew exactly how to explain all the brain-breaking html stuff, he just wanted some sweet comment numbers.

Posted by: PeachPie at December 3, 2009 4:52 PM

Thanks Lainey ! I am really enjoying this new and exciting world of html.

Posted by: PeachPie at December 3, 2009 4:54 PM

yes, yes I did. I am an asshole. Stupid html being all stupid. And I'm a she peachpie darlin. (when it doubt it's actually safer to assume all 'jibans are female. There's way more of us than boys)

Posted by: dr. pisaster at December 3, 2009 4:56 PM

Hee! That's OK, I do get a little post happy sometimes. I get caught up in the fun. The lovely and talented Dr. Seastar Pisaster is a hot Pajibette though, FYI. And she just got her Doctorate this week. Yea!

HTML mystifies me.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at December 3, 2009 5:01 PM

My profound apologies to you Dr. Pisaster (shoulda known, you are the seastar! major congrats on the Dr. part). I also offer my apologies and a sacrifice to the Godtopus, ruler of all Pajiba, and the ettes. As a proud Canadienne, may I lift up a fellow 'nuck to you Glorious Godtopus? A fellow female who would delight in giving herself to the most mighty topus of all the Gods. I give you Pamela Anderson, *implants not included*. Enjoy your feast and I pray to your for forgiveness.

And with that I am out for a long weekend of the only way to welcome winter: a beerfest of course! America (Seattle - which feels just like home, but with some funny looking cash) here I come!

Probably won't seek you guys out on FB, though - The Ghost Who Woks Spouse(tm) has been trying to get me off my lazy butt and onto FB for ages and I keep refusing. I already barely do anything while at work, FB would probably suck me in and I'd accomplish ZERO 'cause that's my way. And I don't think she'd be very keen if I mentioned "sorry sweetie, I'm not gonna join FB... waitwhat, Lindsey just invited me to come hang with her and AvB, SIGN MY ASS UP!" Yeah, that might go poorly for me.

Posted by: , at December 4, 2009 12:35 AM

oh no ... i am so late to the party ... is it too late for me to delurk?

i've been reading this site for years. i came for the scathing and bitchy and stayed for the amazing sense of community (the way everyone pulled together over the loss of AlabamaPink, the college fund for Lil' Pink, Paheeba Day, the eloquents). i don't comment because most of the time, someone has already said what i was going to say in a much more clever and witty way and right now all my writing anxiety is currently directed towards my dissertation.

i'm also an english literature major ... i am the queen of useless degrees ... i also have a masters degree in performance studies and am working on my phd in dance studies.

oh ... and i would love to join DeadBessie, mysharona, and KBalls in the SYTYCD discussions

Posted by: jkbdncr at December 4, 2009 12:41 AM

I (accidentally) won an EE once, but I mostly lurk now. I may make a occasional comment here and there, but I don't feel comfortable commenting much, mainly because the commenting system is hard to follow: reading thru hundreds of unthreaded comments just to make a witty remark or ask a question that someone might have already made in confusing and it just makes my ears hurt.

So, yes, I de-lurked just to bitch. Now, fix that shit motherfuckers. Ain't no nerds around to write some code for ya? I know some geek brothas in need of work, if you're looking.

Posted by: ceejeemcbeegee at December 4, 2009 12:47 AM

Christ on a cracker people! I come here from the EE's and almost 2 hours later I finally get to the end of the comments. In that time I've snorted water out of my nose, had disturbing visuals of clowns and vans and am now afraid to go to sleep. (Long enough run on for you guys?)
And, Yay for all the other gingers out there!

Holy crap people are still posting! I've delurked maybe once or twice, but Pajiba has filled many a slow hour on deadline (journalism for the... horrific loss, actually) for the past, what, four years? Five? I don't even know anymore. Who are you people? What are you doing in my house?

Posted by: CDub at December 4, 2009 2:02 AM

looks like I'm a little late to the party... I'm a full time lurker, occasional commenter. It makes my little heart swell with joy to know that there are people as cynical, random minded, and snarky as I am out there. This site literally gives me hours of entertainment and I often laugh so hard I cry. Seriously, prime example being the Creed 'movie' thread I just finished reading. Worst. bands. EVER. can you even call them bands? Anyways, I digress. Just wanted to say hi and show my Pajiba love!

Posted by: Even Stevens at December 4, 2009 2:22 AM

Long-time reader, first time caller (that is how this works, right?)...

Been reading ever since quizlaw pointed me in this direction (the poor little website that could), but I always end up reading posts in batches sometime mid-week. Apparently my jetsetting ways of sitting in front of a computer all day at work make it too hard to keep up with all you other layabouts.

So there's my delurk manifesto, enjoy!

Posted by: Meta at December 4, 2009 3:19 AM

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller Queen' at December 4, 2009 9:08 AM

I've been a lurker for ages, and now this will be my second post in a week! I'll have to pace myself. My love of Edward Gorey has inspired me to attempt a (terrible) limerick. Don't hurt me.

Dammit nothing rhymes with Pajiba
Nic Cage, can’t wait for the MurderTank to fry ya
I’m in awe of y’alls’ snark
All bite AND all bark
For Christmas I’d like some Godiva

Thank you all for keeping me sane through years of pretending to work!

Posted by: Bothari at December 4, 2009 10:35 AM

So... you decide to do a de-lurking comment thread when I'm in the middle of trying to die from a cold? And now there's like over 650 comments (which is ridonkulous by the way)? You sons of bitches. I've been trying to delurk, but I find all the frank sexual talk unnerving (that's a lie, I totally find it nerving). Peen and/or boobs!

Posted by: Katers at December 4, 2009 10:55 AM

jkbdncr - clearly, the answer was no, it wasn't too late to delurk. We need latecomers to keep the party going.

Bothari - Excellent poem. I love that you rhymed "Pajiba" with "fry ya." That's the sort of creativeness we love around these parts.

Yeah, maybe it sucks but I wrote it in less than 30 seconds.

Wow, this thread may need to kept perpetually open, you know like a church, or Paris Hilton.

Nieve: I think Jordan Catalano would have banged a cheerleader if one had presented herself, but he went for the chicks with the looser morals, leather jackets, and fold down back seats. At least he did in my day.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at December 4, 2009 12:17 PM

I was introduced to Pajiba about a year ago by a friend of mine when we had the misfortune to watch 10,000 b.c. I've been a loyal lurker ever since, mostly because the regular commenters scare the bejeezus out of me and witty remarks only come to me after careful thought and planning...usually a week or two after I need them.

I will say this though: I'm currently living in a country, which, aside from being a total shit-hole populated mostly by creepy men, is almost completely devoid of movie theaters. Even if I could find a theater, I'd be more likely to come out of it covered in the diseased fluids of whatever creepo was sitting behind me than with a decent movie-going experience. So I read Pajiba.

Pajiba is my daily dose of sanity and home. When I'm trying to block out the memory of seeing a prostitute getting the shit kicked out of her outside my apartment building, I read Pajiba. When I'm trying to quell the rage against the random dude who insulted, groped, whacked off on, or [insert new and shocking perversion that I am bound to discover here] on my friends or myself in the middle of the street, I read Pajiba. I read it as much for the escape as for the new and interesting profanities I enjoy trying out on the creepos.

Even being a lurker has its benefits.

Hello everybody! I am a lurker and have decided to unlurk. As an unlurker, I think it's would be a neat idea to send cash and artistic nudes to a fellow Pajiban once a month. I think we should start with somebody completely random.

How about fellow Pajiban, Skittimus Maximus? I just scrolled up and that's where the pointer ended - Skittimus Maximus. That's where we should send money and naked pictures - to Skittimus Maximus. Again, as part of a fun new tradition, we should SEND CASH AND NUDE PHOTOS TO SKITTIMUS MAXIMUS.

In closing, SEND CASH AND NUDE PHOTOS TO SKITTIMUS MAXIMUS.

Thank you for your time,
Ski... er, Horatio Boggleswatz III

Posted by: Horatio Boggleswatz III at December 4, 2009 1:02 PM

I have no cash, Skitz, Horatio, but plenty of fresh, nude pics of yours truly are on their way to Skitty even as I type this.

Posted by: Spender at December 4, 2009 1:46 PM

Wow. I cant believe its still going. It took me all day to read HALF this thread so I'm just gonna delurk for the sake of it. Not even figgy will be reading this one, as I had to find this after reading this weeks EE.

but anyway, I get busy and miss things (like this thread) at work and my home internets is too slow so I just lurk here and there

and also? LOVE the community here. We all know its head and shoulders above a vast portion of the websites-with-comments-section universe

As the thread sputters to a halt . . . .

I've been coming here since before the Homeland Security debacle -- and when I realized that the Bush Administration hated this site I thought: I'm home!

Wasn't there a period when Ron Paul people would show up and throw around a lot of crazy? That was fun.

In all these years I think I've posted three times, only when very deeply moved, and under my actual name. Don't post in part because of my "not funny" complex, but mostly because I'm just not an interwebs poster. Except for a period many, many years ago when a friend and I would hijack a Buffy posting board every week or so with our extremely trenchant comments on the state of the Buffy-Spike relationship. Good times! Of course, my job was much less demanding back then.

Anyway, I lurk every day and read every damn comment, except for this week, of course, when the lurker thread comes up.

Cheers to Pajibaland and all the happy, demented, sex-obsessed people, pandas, and inanimate objects who dwell there.

i'm extremely late to this party/thread.. but hey! i've been lurking and reading for about three years now, and i love this site to death. i don't usually laugh out loud while reading stuff online, but with pajiba, every damn time.

Posted by: mex at December 7, 2009 4:06 PM

Wouldn't you know it? Work has prevented me from Pajiba-ing for the last couple weeks, and I'm just now getting caught up!

I've been a regular reader for over five years, but I never commented 'til sometime last year. Since then, I think I've contributed a wopping 12 or so comments! I love this place and (usually) visit every day.

It's so late, I don't expect anyone to see this comment, but in case someone does: I want you to know I have read *every* *single* *one* of these comments (before mine)! I wouldn't do that for any other website. (Of course, I also read the 500+ Twilight thread. And as long as nobody's reading: Yes, I saw Twilight. Yes, I enjoyed it: It was the best comedy of 2008! I giggled through the whole thing. No, I don't find Edward at all appealing. Now Bella's dad, on the other hand... oh yeah.)

Posted by: ariadne at December 10, 2009 10:59 PM

You know, as long as we're alone in here (me, myself, and I), I'm feeling secure enough to reveal my ongoing Internet crush on Skitz. I fell for him almost two years ago, and Godtopus help me, I love him still. I just can't resist his bizarre, surreal craziness. Plus, he's got a MurderTank.
