Eloquent Eloquence / Figgy

Eloquent Eloquence | June 25, 2009 | Comments (82)


There is one essential truth to Pajiba and our commenters that every new visitor needs to know:

We are a bunch of sexually deprived psychos.

Jesus H. [for Herbert] Christ , people. There is no story, no review, no news item that won’t descend into an orgiastic feast of lewdness and innuendo(in-your-endo!). The Freebies post is getting out of control (don’t forget to vote! I will mention your name in the next EE if you vote for Jon Hamm!), with a whopping 571 comments as I write this. And no, I am not reading through that. That’s Dustin’s punishment, because the Powers That Be just can’t let a person be truly happy. Karma is a bitch and all that.

No, really, the poor thing. First he’s all overjoyed about Ryan Reynolds’ all-but-nudie-pics being all over the place, then he got us all to agree that yes, his mancrush is indeed a dreamboat, then he watched The Proposal twice, and he got to interview the writer. It’s every reviewer’s dream! Our fearless leader was almost prancing with joy. You could tell.

And then Michael Bay came along and burst the bubble with his tiny penis (he had to try twice … you know, because it’s so tiny and flaccid). And we paid for it. With a Zac Efron wake-up call and stories of dead pets. Can you blame Dustin for it? Damn you, Michael Bay. Damn you to hell. One day you will burn. In slow-motion. There will be a great cry through all Pajibaland, and the people SHALL. BE. FREE. And we shall have an orgy and everyone will be there and we’ll have Kushes and—-

*ahem*

Err. So. Aside from the multiple underwear-explosions and the Michael Bay overload, it was a fun week. We have a bunch of new guest writers, we’re getting more TV reviews, and everyone’s getting a chance to fantasize about their freebies as we stick it to the ridiculous “entertainment” magazines who keep insisting that McCounagheyheyheythereprettylady, Rainbow Killer and S’Efron are “sexy.” We shall prove them wrong. What else do you want? Oh! Also, we seem to have Tracer Bullet, Cindy and Optimus Rhyme working on a brand new line of As-Seen-On-Pajiba Products, inspired by the Ass Swiffer, coming to you soon for the cheap price of $2 and a nudie pic. It will be grand.

On to the good stuff!

10. Jesus H Christ, I thought it was Teddy- motherfucking-Ruxpin, and my heart siezed up in my chest and fell into my feet and my mouth went dry and my palms got all cold and sweaty …

Teddy-Motherfucking-Ruxpin is scary as fuck. I hate that motherfucker. And I don’t care if they named that thing from the trailer “Gooby”, that is goddamn TEDDY-MOTHERFUCKING-RUXPIN and he just wants to eat my soul and also my face. — Cletus

[Teddy Ruxpin really was terrifying. But imagine this: my cousin had one when we were kids. It spoke English. We didn’t. So, the bastard was not only terrifying, but to us, he spoke in tongues. Beyond horrible.]

9. Wow! That’s a step beyond the normal kiddie cartoons. Thanks for the introduction. Now for a general beef. WHY DO FEMALE ALIENS ALWAYS HAVE PROMINENT BOOBS? Why don’t they have udders every now and then? Udders are sexy. I’ve seen them in action. On Halloween, a lady where I work wore a cow costume to work. It was a big, baggy, black and white spotted jumpsuit with a hood and ears, and had a big plastic pink udder with hard, erect teats attached around the groin area. Despite the fact that this was the least sexy costume you can imagine, EVERY man in the office asked if he could touch the “them.”

By the way, “teats” are pronounced “tits.” That’s why they’re called “tits.” It annoys me when people pronounce it “teets” like it’s some foreign body part. —BWeaves

[*giggle* She said “teat”. *snort* Also, I wonder if the aliens need a Kush.]

8. Carrie, Canadians turn orange when they live in the US for too long. It’s due to a lack of maple syrup and poutine in their diets. We have to return once every three years or else we turn into self bronzing Jersey-douches. It is known as The Great White Pilgrimage. -admin

[Anything related to Ryan Reynolds this week had some great comments. So I, for one, absolute adore Dustin’s obsession. So there.]

7. I’m there. Only thing that could have made this cooler would be if the tainted blood had somehow been in the communion cup …Which brings a bit of theology to mind: Catholics believe that at communion the wafer and the wine really, actually, become the body and blood of Jesus. So … what if every week dozens of vampires lined up at the 10 p.m. mass for a drink, with the priest trying to save their souls? THAT would be an interesting visual and make for a neat theological argument. “Doubt II: Vampire Boogaloo”?

Somebody else can whip up a script, my work here is done. — (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy)

[Blasphemilicious! I know I said I was sick of vampires but, come on. I’d watch that. Happy now, buc?]


6. I can just see the reviews now:

“Shit blows the fuck up! What a fucking masterpiece!” - Dodger Q*bert
“It was so good, I was ‘Fallen’ out of my pull-ups!” - Jeen Shit
“The robots are fighting! The robots are FIGHTING!” - TV GUIDE
“LARGE TEXT NO SPACE BAR NUMB3RS!!! - The Internet
“Michael Bay has […] a babydick the size of your little toe.” - Pajiba -annoyingmouse

[And that is why we love Pajiba so much.]

5.

Specializing in snarky hunks who havnt reached their potential. Come on, have a try! Join for FREE. -spamabot

[I don’t know who that was, but my hat is off to you, sir or madam. That was beautiful.]

4. Then, if I had any questions, I should come tell her and she’d go get me bigger book.

I remember having a similar conversation, only my mom said that it’s not the size of the book. She said how well-written, thorough prefaces make books more enjoyable to read. Then she mentioned how my dad likes to skip straight to the epilogue and fall asleep immediately. No wonder she went to the library so much. What was I talking about? -branded

3. Lucky you. I can still hear them and now I also have Informer stuck in my head.
What the fuck does: “a licky boom-boom down” mean anyway? —admin

admin: It indicates he employed the oral section, or front two-thirds (as opposed to the posterior pharyngeal section) of his tongue in a downward motion upon her “boom boom,” which is a common euphemism for both nouns and verbs dealing with sexual acts or body parts involved with sex acts.

However, the “a” that precedes the phrase “licky boom-boom down” indicates that this is a noun phrase. In this case, “licky” could be adjectival, modifying a compound noun, “boom-boom down.” Alternately, both “licky” and “boom-boom” may be adjectival, modifying “down.” But that moves “down” from a directional preposition to a noun, changing the meaning to a salivating, explosive pile of pillow stuffing.

Pretty sure that’s what he meant. -Sharon

[I love that response so much I want to buy it one of our new Pajiba products. Maybe one of these others:]

2. Men, do you find the Underpants Dragon escapes when you sleep on your side? Do you spent the night tossing and turning, trying desperately to find a comfortable position for the Crawlin’ Kingsnake? You’ve tried strapping it. You’ve tried tucking it. But nothing seems to work!

New, from the makers of the Ass Swiffer (TM) and My Face (TM), comes La Derriere (TM)! Simply park your Pants Shark between these two warm, inviting globes and never worry about penile slippage ever again!

“I never could figure out to do with my Wedding Equipment while I slept. I tried everything, but nothing worked until I tried La Derriere (TM)! Now my Man Hammer rests between the cheeks of La Derriere (TM) and I rest easy! Thanks, La Derriere (TM)!

Ergonomically engineered by some of the finest surgeons in Beverly Hills, La Derriere (TM) is designed to gently swaddle your Magic Johnson in pillowy softness.

“Now my meat has its very own meat locker! Thanks, La Derriere!”

La Derriere (TM) is not sold in stores, but you have your very own La Derriere (TM) for the cost of a large diamond ring, an exotic sports car or a pepperoni pizza (New Jersey customers only)! Act now! —Tracer Bullet

[Tracer and our #1 were battling it out all week. But I think the world knew, as soon as these comments went up, who was going to take home the prize. And though “Crawling Kingsnake” would’ve won any other week, it couldn’t beat our #1. In fact, both these comments were so perfect that I couldn’t pick just one. Thankfully they were both made by the same person, so it’s not like I have to split a prize or cheat the way I usually do. But you really need to read both.]

1. Comment one:

We’re the sensation, sweepin’ Fox nation- The station, Believin’ in creation, makin’ a donation to the GOP foundation.

It’s a temptation, to believe in deflation. But we step back, fix that.

AND EXPORT DEMOCRACY TO THIRD WORLD NATIONS!

*Other guy jumps in*

Yo Yo! We’re the big white guys takin’ our country back.

That’s why we gave AIDS to all the blacks.

*Awkward Silence* —Optimus Rhyme

[He lived up to his name, huh? And just…together with the Transformer madness, it’s almost like fate. Here’s the winner.]

The true meaning of the word Pajiba is a tale most sinister. It began with 4 friends — Dustin Rowles, Jeremy C. Fox, Ranylt Richildis and their Latino chum Pajiba Vendejo. They would summer in the woods of New England, trading pop cultural tidbits and vocabulary words. They shared countless unforgettable summers.

But that all ended in the summer of 1998.

A new show premiered called “Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place”. It seemed harmless, a fun breezy show coasting along on the charm of its leads. And yet, such a humble show changed their lives forever.

Pajiba began to mock the show mercilessly, especially the charismatic character “Berg”. The others laughed and laughed as Pajiba insulted his looks and his hair. As Pajiba moved on to his physique, a scrotum-tightening shriek pierced the air. Before the others could stop him, Dustin had pinned Pajiba down and was choking him.

With strength enhanced by pure rage (and half a hard-on) Dustin took young Pajiba’s life.

The three friends vowed to never speak of this travesty, and to honor his memory. In time, Dustin devoted this site to his dearly departed friend, if not for his memory, than only to help him sleep at night.

The three friends would meet every year to renew their vow of silence and speak fondly of him. However, Dustin became jaded and arrogant as the years went by. He forgot his friends and began to disappear into his work. But Pajiba would have his revenge. One by One, Pajiba is making them disappear. Only time will tell when Rowles will be next. —Optimus Rhyme

——

*stares in awe*

I want to make this into a manifesto, and I want to frame it, and hang it on the front door of Pajiba, and then make it into a pamphlet that I can distribute to anyone who ever asks me what “Pajiba” means. I love that comment. I love that story. I love that the planets came together this week so that a rhyming Transformer would win the EE. I swear, Dustin, I didn’t do it on purpose.

So congratulations, OJR (the J stands for “Jammin’”, right?) you win! And for a prize you will get …Transformers! HA. Just kidding. I couldn’t do that to you or Dustin. You’re getting Transformers: The Movie. The original. Orson freakin’ Welles voicing. It’s a 1986 (were you even born then?) classic, and you will love it. Send your info to dustin at pajiba dot com.

See you next week. Don’t forget to vote for your freebies, and go join the facebook group. We have fun there.

Goddammit.

I always wondered what the name stood for. I just assumed that, like many things on this site, it was a vague reference to Ryan Reynolds' penis size.

"Look at the pajiba on that hunk o' beefsteak au gratin!"

Holy shit Optimus, you pulled it off! You finally did it man! Woooo!

Congrats!

Posted by: Snath at June 25, 2009 4:28 PM

Holy balls you people are full of the funny.

Posted by: Julie at June 25, 2009 4:31 PM

I would never criticize the beatiful job the illustious figgy is doing with the EE, but that should have been a tie.

Besides that: HOORAY for Optimus. Finally! Finally, he takes the prize and it only took two generations. Congratulations homeboy.

P.S. That movie kicks so much ass.

Posted by: admin at June 25, 2009 4:31 PM

Truly, truly deserved dear Optimus. Congrats! Icme Products would like to throw in a free Testellow in your choice of color.

Posted by: Cindy at June 25, 2009 4:36 PM

Yeah! I'm #9 and half of #4. I'm inching my way up to #2.

Posted by: BWeaves at June 25, 2009 4:40 PM

Fig-ures (see what I did there?), a week I was barely trying. I thought I'd left my game on the floor in the Nicer Movie Titles thread, but it took the marvelous, scrumptious, humptious Figgy to see through to my inner core with her Eyes of Funny vision and ...

What? No, I don't know where I was going with that either.

Well done, Rhyme, well done.

Woooo! My comment led to admin's comment that inspired Sharon's comment. Yay tertiary accomplishments!

Sorry to intrude on the funny, but AP reporting Farrah Fawcett died.

Never before have I laughed out loud so many times reading EE - having laughed so much already at the originals.... thank goodness I got home early or I'd definitely have raised some eyebrows at the office. Awesome & thanks! To all, but especially Optimus, have a great weekend!

Posted by: staramour at June 25, 2009 5:17 PM

Fantastically done, Mr. Rhyme! However, you are no longer allowed to stay on the Island of Misfit Toys with the rest of us who have yet to win. And also, Tracer may have to kill you now.

Posted by: branded at June 25, 2009 5:28 PM

Not to be one of those annoying, correct-everyone people but Jesus' middle name is not Herbert. He's named after his dad:

"Our Father, who art in Heaven, Harold be thy name..."

Posted by: Matt at June 25, 2009 5:28 PM

What is Optimus doing right now?

Another thing I would pay cash money to see.

It's a good thing I don't live anywhere near you people, 'cause I'd be flat broke.

Well *done*, sir. Well *done*.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at June 25, 2009 5:38 PM

This was a great week for EE. Lots of funnies. Optimus and Tracer, my most sincere congratulations.

Posted by: logar at June 25, 2009 5:38 PM

By the way, “teats” are pronounced “tits.” That’s why they’re called “tits.” It annoys me when people pronounce it “teets” like it’s some foreign body part.

I decline. "Teets" is funny to say, and when used in reference to woman with rocks in socks, "teets" makes me titter.

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at June 25, 2009 5:39 PM

I'd pay good cash money to see you do the Paul Rudd sexy dance, Optimus.

Failing that, I'll offer congratulations, sir, for not only winning, but winning with a one-two punch for the total K.O. You deserve it.

Posted by: MM at June 25, 2009 5:41 PM

Dangit, AvB, quit making it obvious that I'm stalking you!

That phrase did make me laugh really hard in whatever thread you used it in recently. And I really would pay to see Optimus do the Paul Rudd dance. At least $5.oo.

Posted by: MM at June 25, 2009 5:58 PM

socalled: "rocks in socks"?!

Posted by: figgy at June 25, 2009 6:19 PM

It's about damn time, Rhyme. I remember that diversion occurring last Thursday night and thinking, "It's so early in the EE cycle for the battle to be for #2"...truly inspired, young man!

Posted by: Che Grovera at June 25, 2009 6:20 PM

By the way, “teats” are pronounced “tits.” That’s why they’re called “tits.”

No, "teat" is pronounced "teet" and "tit" is pronounced "tit". Since the English language is generous to the lazy, "tit" is an accepted pronunciation for "teat".

Posted by: Che Grovera at June 25, 2009 6:26 PM

I, I made EE? Are you fucking kidding me?
I am, right now, more excited than I will be when I finish grad school in two months.
To the point that I ran around and did a weird little happy dance, then called my girlfriend on the phone to tell her but all she heard was "EE, EE, oh my god I'm on EE!" but it was kind of fast and screechy and I think she thought I was making dolphin noises.
The point being . . . I think I might have just wet myself.

Posted by: Sharon at June 25, 2009 6:45 PM

I know exactly how you feel, Sharon. Except multiply it by ten. I think I hyper-ventilated a little.
And thanks for the love, guys. You old fogies are all right.

Posted by: Optimus J. Rhyme at June 25, 2009 7:05 PM

What effing thread was the Republican Rapper stuff? I wanted to watch the video but it wouldn't play at work.

Posted by: PissBoy at June 25, 2009 7:09 PM

Rhyme, you rock, and I loved your free-stylin'. Congrats!!

Posted by: Sharon at June 25, 2009 7:13 PM

Heeeee, both of the winning comments are winners. Kick. Ass.

Posted by: SaBrina at June 25, 2009 7:22 PM

Figgy, I’m a pretty astute person when it comes to people and I say that because really you don’t have any business producing the EE list. Not because you suck at it, but because you really really suck at it. Most women don’t do well in comedy, and I think it has something to do with being whinny. At best pajiba should have cease and desist with the EE list, but they elected to give it to you for whatever reason.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 25, 2009 7:33 PM

It was Monday's Pajiba Love, PissBoy.

And really, OJR, when are we getting the (shirtless) video for the rap?

Posted by: figgy at June 25, 2009 7:34 PM

Good job Rhyme.

Those comments were the teats.

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at June 25, 2009 7:39 PM

Congrats, my former savage! About time!

Posted by: Sofía at June 25, 2009 7:40 PM

Many thanks. And what's all this about engaged on Facebook, Cara Mia? For realsies?

Posted by: Optimus J. Rhyme at June 25, 2009 8:50 PM

Wow, mr. baby, that wasn't even funny. That was just shitty. Congratulations.

Posted by: Snath at June 25, 2009 9:38 PM

BTW Optimus, your comment is totally my status on Facebook right now. Thats how much it rocked.

Posted by: the_wakeful at June 25, 2009 9:49 PM

heeeeheeeheeeeheeeheee

*ohshameohwoe*

Posted by: figgy at June 25, 2009 9:52 PM

Also, I feel left out. I had a really good comment this week, but I made the mistake of posting it two or three comments ahead of OJR in the same goddamn thread that won him the whole shebang. I think its chuckle-worthy-ness was completely overshadowed by the hilarity that followed. Either that or I think my own jokes are way funnier than they actually are.

Posted by: the_wakeful at June 25, 2009 9:54 PM

I had no idea Al Pacino's baby was such an asshole. Besides being a misogynist, did he call our a figgy a horse (being "whinny")? Illiterate jerk.

Posted by: Che Grovera at June 25, 2009 10:27 PM

Well Mr. Snath my goal wasn’t to be funny, so in that respect you are correct. I’m sorry if my critique of Figgy’s work is not inline with yours, but for some unknown reason people have different opinions on the same subject. I think this would be a dull world if everyone thought just alike. One of my failures in life is that sometimes I confuse sugar and shit, but this is not one of those times. I just think that Figgy’s work on the Eloquent has been nothing short of shitty, if that offends you, so be it. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, meaning you can’t pick and choose what’s permissible to shit on and what isn’t.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 25, 2009 10:30 PM

Nice job, OJR! I think that your urban legend should be added to Urban Dictionary's Pajiba entry.

Posted by: Melissa at June 25, 2009 10:39 PM

Mr. Grovera, if I had wanted to infer that Figgy was a horse I would have called her a nag and not a whiner.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 25, 2009 10:40 PM

Here's the deal, apb: there's a way to be critical without being offensive -- based on your post here (which is the first time I've seen this particular nom de guerre) this will come as news to you. When you come in with guns blazing and offer no rationale for your indiscriminate fire, don't be surprised when the wagons form a circle and your fire is returned. You still haven't offered up anything in the way of analysis to support your crudely stated opinion, but you have managed to piss of the majority of the locals. Good plan.

Posted by: Che Grovera at June 25, 2009 10:47 PM

Furthermore, I'm annoyed that I'm even bothering with a moron who (by his own subsequent admission) thinks "whiny" and "whinny" mean the same thing.

Posted by: Che Grovera at June 25, 2009 10:54 PM

Beautiful funny.
I am p.o'd though because I am on the road and only have my Blackberry for the next couple months (in between visits to the Internet cafe and stealing time on strangers computers). and it doesn't seem to want to let me post comments on a consistent basis.

But I am reading and laughing.
Quietly.
In a corner.
Through my tears of frustration......

*slaps al pacino's baby's face with a glove*

Choose your weapon, scoundrel! I said, CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON! The scrumptious, humptious and not-at-all whiny or whinny Figgy offered her honor, and I honored her offer, and all night long it was honor, offer, honor ... so I shall defend figgy's honor to the last drop of my ... um, Fanta, I guess. Or gasoline, or jism, or something ...

Posted by: , (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy) at June 26, 2009 12:07 AM

Mr. Grovera, I don’t have to offer up a goddamn “analysis” about anything because I don’t have to explain shit to you. How about this, I think I’m going to keep my reasons for calling Figgy’s work shitty to myself so that way you can stop annoying me.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 12:10 AM

Another Figgy sycophant appears and wanting to challenge me to a duel, how embarrassing. Mr. bucdaddy I can only hope that in your real life you’ll protect your real wife’s honor as vigorously as your willing to protect your cyber wife’s honor.

OK, the "???" was for that idiot motherfucker pacino. I shall now step aside and allow Mr. Figgy (Owww! Not so hard! Not so hard!) to claim his rightful place as Defender of the Fig (although where were you an hour ago, huh? HUH?), but will happily stand by his side as his second. Or lurk nearby. Or run away, run away.

,, when I find an illiterate baby crawling on all fours at the base of a ravine downstream from a North Carolina pig farm, cursing the Yellow Face and babbling about "great secrets", I tend to ignore him.

Posted by: Mr. Figgy at June 26, 2009 1:23 AM

I, for one, am thrilled that EE returned, because I really missed reading it every week. Some of the stuff that gets chosen is often lost in the mire of really long comment sections. I love reading everything, but at #72 or so I start to glaze over from screen fatigue.
And I think figgy has been doing a great job, I've been impressed. It can't be easy to have to read every comment and then somehow rate them.
So don't be surprised, pacino's baby, when people rally around someone well liked in these parts. It happens.

Posted by: Sharon at June 26, 2009 2:16 AM

Late to the party but have to say- thats one quality fucking week. Glad it wasn't my decision, it would have been a seven or eight way tie

Posted by: RandyPanTheGoatboy at June 26, 2009 8:01 AM

I started this as a little deconstruction exercise, but I believe the collected body of your work in this thread -- in which you lead with unmitigated arrogance and then veer into misogyny and catachresis before winding back up at arrogance -- speaks for itself:

Figgy, I’m a pretty astute person when it comes to people and I say that because really you don’t have any business producing the EE list. Not because you suck at it, but because you really really suck at it. Most women don’t do well in comedy, and I think it has something to do with being whinny.

NIMUE (6/26/2009 8:47 AM): but, WOW
QUORREN (6/26/2009 8:47 AM): because that's the type of shit that gets burned into your retinas and stays with you for a lifetime.

Congratulations Optimus. I absolutely agree that anyone who can mix the catholic church with vampires and electric bugaloo should win EE.

So now you’re posting my comments Che? I’m not really looking for a publicist but if you’re looking for something to do you're hired.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 9:32 AM

I'm impressed by your apparent lack of shame, apb. People like you often have money to spend foolishly, so if the pay is right we might be able to work something out (especially since you've already shown your comfort with the bad-publicity-is-better-than-no-publicity-at-all school of PR).

4. BRANDED: I thought your response to my "bigger book" comment was brilliant!

Posted by: BWeaves at June 26, 2009 9:50 AM

Mr. Grovera, what is the end game?

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 9:52 AM

Figgy - you gotta stop this, you are actually killing me. The funny has made my lungs hurt - could you not pick at least some mediocre EE's so that I don't bust a gut every time? How am I supposed to get anything done when I'm sitting here crying with laughter because every one is a goddamn winner?!

Posted by: Squeeziee at June 26, 2009 10:04 AM

End game, apb? You mean, where one of us admits the error of our ways and concedes some virtual point of honor to the other? Seems unlikely. You appear to revel in being an asshole, and I don't tire of calling assholes out. I'm content with the status quo (and feeding you as much rope as you'll take)...

Posted by: Che Grovera at June 26, 2009 10:31 AM

So in other words you’re living in your sister’s basement at this moment because you're in between jobs and since the really interesting people that you normally talk are at work, you thought that you could have a little fun at my expense?

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 10:57 AM

Mr. Rowles, in listening to your never ending attacks on Mr. Perry one thing is apparent. I liken it to a kid with snot in his nose that enjoys the sensation of inhaling and exhaling the snot as opposed to just blowing it out and being done with it.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 11:09 AM

Am I the only person here who thinks that APB is P to the ookie?

Just me? I'll go back to eating my pretzel then.

Posted by: Julie at June 26, 2009 11:23 AM

Why not just spit in my face Julie, please don’t confuse me with that sociopath.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 11:32 AM

Seems like you're doing a pretty good job of spitting in your own face, apb. There's not much left for us to do.

Posted by: Snath at June 26, 2009 12:03 PM

No Julie, that was my thought, too.
Especially since APB seems to know who you mean...

Posted by: Tarn at June 26, 2009 12:04 PM

Yeah, the apb=Pookster equation occurred to me too. The thing is, the Pookster had moments of likability.

Posted by: Che Grovera at June 26, 2009 12:16 PM

Not only have I been attacked for voicing my opinion on Figgy’s work, I’m also being accused of having a false identity. I’m a long time lurker that decided to make an opinion, and being a long time lurker you come to know certain people here that make opinions, so yes I know P*****, just as I know a lot of other members. It is as though if you make a comment that is in anyway counter to the prevailing comments you are likely to get attacked and berated for being different. I don’t think that was what the publisher had in mind, I think he wanted a vigorous debate. So I say poo to all of you that attacked me for having the gall of having a different opinion than the gallery.

So I say pookie to all of you that attacked me for having the gall of having a different opinion than the gallery.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 12:35 PM

Fixed it.

Posted by: Che Grovera at June 26, 2009 12:52 PM

Mr. Grovera I'm not going to play your childish game.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 12:56 PM

Having a different opinion is fine. Not having any reasonable basis for your comment other than "because it sucks and you're a girl" and acting like a rancid, nostril burning queef, is not.

Posted by: admin at June 26, 2009 2:41 PM

Of course, thank you admin, now the circle is complete.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 2:50 PM

Well, at least I'm referred to in this EE. And, let's be honest, if I hadn't left my comment, admin couldn't have left theirs.

You're welcome admin.

Posted by: Carrie at June 26, 2009 3:02 PM

You're a hell of a muse Carrie.

Posted by: admin at June 26, 2009 3:11 PM

Aww, you'll make me blush.

Don't feel too special though, it's really easy to do.

Posted by: Carrie at June 26, 2009 3:13 PM

The two of you should get a room.

Posted by: al pacino's baby at June 26, 2009 3:29 PM

You should get a lobotomy.

Posted by: admin at June 26, 2009 3:42 PM

Can't you tell, admin? He's already had one.

Posted by: Snath at June 26, 2009 4:18 PM

Hey, Mr. Figgy, Marry that girl or give someone else a chance, will ya?

*checks watch, taps toe* ;-)
