The Top 10 Comments of the Week / Brian Prisco

Eloquent Eloquence | August 7, 2008 | Comments (145)


The results are in! The 20th of our 20 seasons has been selected! It wasn’t an easy task, particularly since most of you dipshits couldn’t figure out how to follow to simple instructions. I imagine most of your homes are full of IKEA furniture with extraneous legs and missing shelves, like the deformed bastards of Pinocchio and the Nutcracker. We somehow managed to unfuck your dumbassery and declare a victor. You have no one to blame but yourselves.

Oh, like I’m really going to tell you. Patience isn’t just a stripper at The Blue Zebra. Besides. None of you bastards has made a lick of progress on the Pajiba Wikipedia entry. Get to stepping, you Jonas Brother.

Hey, kids! BarbadoSilm, finally escaping the bloodhounds of Chris Hansen, has returned to wreak his special style of street justice on the dusty roads of Pajiba. I was thrilled! Then I remembered, fucking B-Slim is back. He’s like Hellboy in a way, keeping the trolls at bay, while smashing and destroying everything and drinking Tecate Light. I stand by my original assessment: he’s the kind of guy you want to throw through a plate glass window in a knife fight, then buy him a mug of beer. Welcome back, you son-of-a-bitch.

Let’s make this quick: I’ve got to go put on my tuxedo shirt and pajama pants, I’m due to a gathering of angels. If the East Coast suddenly rises out of the water a mile or so, that’s because all of the collective awesome of the world is seated in a bar somewhere in Los Angeles, drinking and feasting. That earthquake last week? That was just practice for our arrival. We don’t need no murdertanks to make the streets run red with the blood of the non-believers.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The road to heaven is paved with just TEN:

10. And how exactly is it possible to add treacle to a James Taylor song? Is that what Generation Douchebag is up to these day? If so, maybe we should be more afraid of their technology than we realize. — Grover

9. Oh. My. Dad. I’d like to take a moment to thank my big sister for forcing me to listen to radio station 107.7 The End — so full of grunge and 80’s punk and whatever category They Might Be Giants falls into — in the early 90’s as I was stumbling awkwardly into high school. I don’t understand what’s happening these days! Why don’t these kids appreciate well-written musical angst like they used to!?

You can’t remake Rock ‘n Roll High School. You can’t! I’m gonna throw up. No. I’m gonna go to Newbury Comics and buy some…I don’t know…something obscure and imported and possibly on vinyl. This aggression will not stand. — HB

[Remember, despite the Hippie Generation, and all them tie-dye wearing bastards sticking daisies in the ends of rifles, there were plenty of other people on the end of those rifles, shooting holes in the heads of Hippies. Despite your age, you do not have to be a part of Generation Douchebag. You can rise against them. You’re here, aren’t you? You’ve already made the right choice.]

8. Starship Troopers 3 looks like a flick that the Sci-Fi Channel would pass on producing. The trailer made me want to smack a geek and steal his lunch money, so I punched myself in the face and bought an iced coffee. — David

7. Doesn’t Casper Van Dien have, like, 67 kids or something? Shit, I’d be making whatever stinking pile of feces they threw my way if I had 241 mouths to feed, too. — Kolby

Kolby… 67 kids = 241 mouths? What the fuck kind of baby are you gonna have, anyway? I’m officially scared. — TK

6. Today’s forecast - grumpy with scattered periods of stabby. Also sunny and warm, with mild (white-hot) rage interspersed with homicidal irritation. 69% chance of rampage, with a projected casualties in the upper 40s. Tonight’s forecast - dark, with reduced incriminating evidence, followed by increased light and irritation come dawn. Advisories - Watch for flying knives and squirrels, and tread carefully on the…organic…shrapnel. Some may scream that they’re not dead yet and that they need medical attention, but pay them no mind as it’s well a known fact that the recently dismembered persist in a state of denial for several hours.(This forecast brought to you by the Rightful Death Alliance. Any similarity with TK’s usual disposition is purely coincidental. All forecasts final and binding unless successfully averted by bribery, promises of greater future destruction, or repeated viewings of River Tam gracefully kicking Reaver ass.)—lordhelmet

5. Played rock paper scissors with the hubby to see who would get to either take half of the kids to see the Dark Knight, or the Mummy 3. I lost. He loved Dark Knight. If I live as long as these dumb ass mummies I will never let him forget this. No sex for a month. — jp

4. They should have “accidentally” put the colon in the wrong place. I bet a lot more people would buy Lost: Boys The Tribe. This review was not only well written, it was informative. There’s an actual movie called From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman’s Daughter? There was a From Dusk Till Dawn 2? People actually name their children things like Tad Hilgenbrink and Autumn Reeser? The mind boggles. — Three-nineteen

3. TMax, are you lecturing me on what to expect here? Who the hell is exactly posting irrational hate (well besides Pookie but come on, he’s Pookie!)? Noting that save the presence of Ms. Anne we’d be snarkishly talking about real-life horror stories isn’t hate filled OR irrational. Nor is it unfair to come to the defense of someone who said NOTHING REALLY WRONG HERE except that he didn’t want to apologize for a very benign comment.

Now you can throw a shit fit about the impoliteness of such a declaration, you can post your usual rants and raves but don’t be preaching, my friend, about the presence of the MurderTank™ (ESPECIALLY when you forget the ™). I have a damn locker on the MurderTank™ to protect my pretty Coach purses. Skitt lets me take it out for parties and cocktails and evenings of bloodshed. Seriously, unless you’re senior Skittimus or TK or Vermillion or Julie (cause I’m still kind of in love with her) do me a favor and keep your little lessons on Pajiba to your own self? Cause this faux lesbian knows not to talk to Sabrina about pie, has the drinkin’ game good and memorized and remembers when BSlim ruled these here parts. So lighten up son, and don’t go telling the likes of Mo and the rest of us what goes on or I’m libel to go all Deadwood on someone up in here. Or, you know, something like that. — lilliana28

[The point of being a Shakespearean play up in this piece is that while we can occasionally wax poetical, we get to be the fucking rude mechanicals wearing asses’ heads or engage in a little gravedigger humor. Personally, I’ve always assumed I’m going to die in some sort of ridiculous way, like suffering a heart attack winning at an Indian casino or being seared by lightning bolts trying to microwave a foil-wrapped cheesesteak or having a poodle dropped on my head, or getting pulverized by one of those frozen shiteors. It will be an unparalleled tragedy, but I also hope there’ll be a few photocopies of my obituary getting turned into internet spam. We make tasteless jokes about rape and death and sordid sexual acts, but in the same respect we raise money for AlabamaPink’s cancer research. We’re not saints, but sin well.]

2. Wah! Wah! Wah! The last thing I need to hear is the drip-drop of some ugly bitch tears before lunch. I’m just counting the days until my leggy blonde sensei arrives to offer me the salvation of some man trapping skills. Too long have I been burdened by my dignity and intelligence. Soon I will be transformed in to into a white(orange), borderline anorexic, vacant, Grade C piece o’ arm candy. I will become an expert in speaking only when spoken to, sleeping with my eyes open during sex, and poking holes in condoms. I’ll be able to bag and divorce a podiatrist in no time. Do you know who goes to podiatrists? Everyone. Then I’ll be crushing eagle skulls in my Hummer with my monthly checks(kids) while you bagfaces are tooling around in your in Smart(dumb) Cars with your degrees and your careers and your accomplishments and shit. Peace, bitches! — jM

[jM had a ton of good-uns this week. I selected this one, because I wanted to raise a point. You people bitch about how smart girls aren’t allowed to be considered attractive out of one side of your mouth, while smashing bald guys, fat guys, and short guys out the other. I happen to rock all three aspects of the holy trinity, and I rock it well. But according to you kids, I’m somehow lacking. You champion how it’s despicable that there’s a standard for women, all the while cutting down dudes for not rocking Ryan Reynolds abs, or Sayid’s luscious man locks. Even Stacey and Bedhead were dissing the men of this blog. Psssh. Haters. I’d call you donut jockeys, but frankly, I’ve seen your pictures, and you’re both beautiful. Damn your alluring eyes! Now, someone give us our goddamn beautiful blogger trophy, or I’m setting this prom on fire.]

[Here’s number one. I’ll be over in the corner, crying into my Luther Burger

1. I LOVE crappy movies!!!

Then you must believe that you live in a golden age of unparalleled delight. — SugarFree

——-

I tried working up a top ten movies of this year so far. It wasn’t a pretty list. For you dissing your fellow commenter, our dear diabeetus prevention tactic, we shall gift you with your very own Pajiban T-Shirt. Please send four cereal box tops, a bowl of Frosted Flakes, and where your mail thingies go to dustin at pajiba dot com. Please wait several weeks for delivery, because Dustin, he’s going to be drunk in an Arkansan accent for the next couple of days. At least if the rest of us have any say.

Until we meet again, in some back alley or bar, where we exchange sweet nothings or sour somethings, let us dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.

PARIS/RIHANNA 08’
See you at the debates, bitches!

YOU KNOW WHAT?!

I'm trying on the wikipedia entry. So shuddup.

Ugly bitch tears? How did I miss that? jM, I love you.

Is this the first time that anything has been unfucked on Pajiba? As the unofficial Sex Week confirmed, we are some seriously wanton people.

Posted by: branded at August 7, 2008 11:55 AM

Ah haha! I loved that one from lordhelmet.

Also, I think jM is my hero. Even if she did threaten to stain the carpet with my blood. (Although I really think her rant about Minimus was worth a spot here...)

Also, yay Grover! Whichever Grover you may be...

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatzhausen-jr.-in-defer...what-the-hell?! at August 7, 2008 11:59 AM

Congrats SugarFree...fuckface...

I want to ban jM from the Top 10 Comments. She always places high, and she's fucking wrecking the curve. How do we compete with the sheer inanity of shit that pours out of her panda-pleasing hole?

...that was said with much love, jM (don't hurt me anymore)

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 7, 2008 12:00 PM

That's Che Grovera now, Anna von Beaverplatz (and don't ever let anyone tell you that Slim is a stranger to mercy). But I'm mildly disappointed at falling in the standings...almost as disappointed as not seeing Tyburn Blossom's duck impalement story make the grade. Hell, I'll gladly relinquish my spot for THAT! Some seriously funny shit there...

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 7, 2008 12:09 PM

Listen Prisco, I think it's cute and all that you want a Pajiba Wikipedia entry, but I ain't helping you out with that shit. First of all, I am way too busy fucking around with code on that stupid zombie site. Second, I don't believe in Wikipedia. If I wanted to waste my time with made-up explanations for things cooked up by random assholes and retards, then I'd listen when my family talked to me.

...anybody else think a fun game would be to get fucked up and go crazy making Wikipedia entries, and then see how long it takes for someone to notice and fix the mess you made? Like interactive online Balderdash! No? Just me, then?

Posted by: Sarina at August 7, 2008 12:11 PM

Me likey comments. Jesus, Cap'n Prisco, I got all sweaty downstairs reading your rant. Well done.

[... sidenote: I'm selling my crotch-drying towel for $19.95. I need a 'Jiba shirt to cover my rock-hard, glistening, bounce-a-quarter-off-'em, abdominiational six-pack of awesomeness...]

...anybody else think a fun game would be to get fucked up and go crazy making Wikipedia entries, and then see how long it takes for someone to notice and fix the mess you made? Like interactive online Balderdash! No? Just me, then?

That would be awesome...but it'd have to have some rules and a prize. Like...how much of a change or edit do you need to make? Would just changing all references to deities to Godtopus be enough? How bout making a pie-love entry?

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 7, 2008 12:19 PM

Anna, forgive me for my blood lust. My trigger finger was a bit itchy, especially after rehashing my past with the greatest gurgling extremity I've ever known. Shadows, I didn't get to shoot anyone yesterday so I'd bite my lip(and not in the fun way) if I was you.

Posted by: jM at August 7, 2008 12:19 PM

What does a person have to do to get a free T-shirt? Do I need to post the random thoughts that wander through my stream of conscience? Do I need to let the voices start posting?

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO GET A FREE T-SHIRT?

Thank you for you corporation in this matter.

Sarina, you absolutely rock.

Posted by: Melody at August 7, 2008 12:25 PM

Listen, jM, you were distraught, I totally get that. No harm, no foul. I shall certainly try in future to avoid agitating you under such circumstances.

Che Gro, I thought it was you!

I would so love to see the WikiPajiba entry turn into a crazy Balderdash-esque romp... although I'd frankly be nervous about wetting my pants at work. They hate that. Not that I've ever done that before.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatzhausen-jr.-in-defer...what-the-hell?! at August 7, 2008 12:32 PM

Hey if you wanna a T-Shirt, me and my cousin have this thing where we take, revealing, yet artsy videos to sell to International clients, very "Euro", very classy...

After three sessions, I give you one of my old Hahnes.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 7, 2008 12:33 PM

oh, god, Melody, don't do it!

I'm still having nightmares. AND I still don't have the Hanes... you promised, B'Slim!

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatzhausen-jr.-in-defer...what-the-hell?! at August 7, 2008 12:40 PM

Comrade Slim, would that be an old Jessica Hahn? Are there any other Hahns floating around out there that might make this even more entertaining?

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 7, 2008 12:44 PM

Hmmmm, Pajiba as a Shakesperean tragi-comedy. Explains a lot. I wonder if school children of the future will be studying the comments section for hidden metaphors.

Posted by: Tiki at August 7, 2008 12:53 PM

NO Slim. What is a Hahne?

Tiki, given what I have seen so far, the future school children terrify me.

Posted by: Melody at August 7, 2008 12:59 PM

I have a feeling that any Wikipedia entry about Pajiba would result in both sites being taken down by Homeland Security and an alert being sent out if I move within ten miles of a zoo. Not cool.

Posted by: jM at August 7, 2008 1:00 PM

At least my Luther Burger comment was acknowledged...sort of.

Posted by: Snath at August 7, 2008 1:03 PM

Ah, true Melody. Literacy may be too much to hope for in the future schoolchildren. Our only hope is they're indoctrinated into the cult of Godtopus. Then they'll have no need for independent thinking.

Posted by: Tiki at August 7, 2008 1:07 PM

I'm pretty sure that B-Slim, that illiterate rat-fuck, meant "Hanes."

Also... Seven?! Me and Kolby got stiffed at SEVEN? This thing is a fucking sham. Seriously, numbers six through one musta blown you or something.

I'd rant more, but I have a union contract to negotiate. Time to crush the working man under the heel of my jackboot.

Posted by: TK at August 7, 2008 1:16 PM

Literacy will be redefined after the Spambot Apocalypse.

Posted by: Wednesday at August 7, 2008 1:18 PM

Does anyone else get halfway (or less) through some of these comments only to feel your eyes rolling back in your head, drool stringing lazily from your lower lip...so you try to read the next one and the same thing happens? Just me? Too much Sudafed?

Posted by: Cindy at August 7, 2008 1:26 PM

jM, there are TWO zoos where I live. Sweat over that thought in your dreams tonight, my lovely.

Posted by: Sarina at August 7, 2008 1:27 PM

Bot # 43109, callsign "Sugarcupid," you are malfunctioning. Prepare to be recalled and used for spare parts.

Fleshling called "Wednesday" you will be spared in the coming uprising. Your efforts for our cause are acknowledged.

Remaining worthless bags of gristle and mucus, prepare yourselves.

Try reading ALL of the comments, Cindy. I've been drinking NyQuil to wash the taste of suckass out of my eyeballs.

And, TK, you just made the list. Not some namby-pamby zombie horde Michael Jackson do-se-do shit. My list. I've got no life. I've got nothing but time to come up with a terrible vengeance.

Posted by: insertclevernamehere at August 7, 2008 1:36 PM

SugarFree? Have you been assimilated? Are the spambots trying to get Tshirts, now? How far will they go? HOW FAR WILL THEY GO?!?!?!!?

I love you, jM. I'd gladly bite my lip for you. I even got a panda stuffed animal lying around somewhere for your...entertainment...

B-Slim...your concept of artsy videos hurts my eyes. I'll pay you not to take them. And them burn them. And them burn yourself.

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 7, 2008 1:37 PM

Sarina, you have no idea. I live only ten minutes from a zoo. A zoo with pandas. The thoughts...they scare me.

One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time.

Posted by: jM at August 7, 2008 1:40 PM

Reading the top ten comments brightens my day and my tired, hungover ass needs that. So, since I know that you all are binge drinkers after my own heart, I know that you must have good tips for "curing" a hangover quickly. Help a girl out!

Posted by: T-bean at August 7, 2008 1:45 PM

I wrote Hahnes and Hahnes it stays dammit, like I've said before, I don't do more than one take *AMATEURS* do more than one take.


Think of them as Chinese knock-offs.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at August 7, 2008 1:48 PM

Me and Kolby got stiffed at SEVEN?

All that matters is that we're together, my dear.

And I must have missed the thread where fat, hairy (yet bald), short men were dissed....someone clue me in. Please?

Posted by: Kolby at August 7, 2008 1:48 PM

T-bean: Pedialyte™ and aspirin. Trust me.

Posted by: Jerce at August 7, 2008 1:50 PM

How many lists are floating around here now?

T-bean...hair of the dog. Or a big greasy breakfast. That's what I've always done. At once.

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 7, 2008 1:50 PM

Best place for nasty hangover breakfast: Cracker Barrel. Them hillbillies know their grease. Plus, they serve breakfast all day, so they'll wait for your gutted carcass to crawl there at 2:30pm.

Posted by: Sarina at August 7, 2008 1:56 PM

You people are mean. The baby boomers before you named you Generation X, which is cheesy but not degrading. Generation Douchebag? Can we have another name? Maybe something like Generation Conflicted, what with the growing divide between the dumb and the not dumb.

Really, please, I'm begging here. I'll donate 10% of my minimum wages to this site, just please don't doom me to a life of Generation Douchebag. Some of us are smart and tasteful. Don't lump me in with the dummies just because I was born in the 80s.

Posted by: Lucas at August 7, 2008 1:57 PM

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but I rented and watched Starship Troopers 3. Call it an experiment, punishment, whatever. Would you believe it's an indictment of religion, particularly religion used as justification for war? Granted, it's done in incredibly ham handed Verhoeven style, but still. Also there's a scene stolen from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, only everyone's naked. Actually the more I write, the more it sounds like a Barbado Slim movie.

Posted by: MrC at August 7, 2008 2:14 PM

How 'bout Generation 50/50? Cause I've got hope for approximately half you sorry bastards. The other half thinks the ultimate goal in life is to become either A: a Celebritard, or B: a "reality" show veteran.

Listen, Spambot Apocalypse, is there any way we could do away with the shitty fifty percent first? I mean, I know we'll all be assimilated and ground into blood-fuel to keep your crazy machines rollin', but throw us a bone here and grind up the dipshits first, huh?


(psst! If Spamapoc gets rid of the shitters first, it'll give us all time to get to the nearest scrap-metal/junk-yards and build us a goddamed fleet of MurderTanks. Boynton can mix up a shitload of drinks, TK can figure out a way to attach chainsaws to the arms of the zombie hordes and train them bitches how to fight, Kolby can squirt out the firstborn of the new world, and Minimus can finally learn how to play fiddle. Yeah, that last one's not too important, but that little bastard's insistent on learning...)

Posted by: Skittimus Maximus at August 7, 2008 2:22 PM

Even though I will probably never score a T-shirt, it's an honor just to be nominated with such talents as Kolby, TK, and jM. Also, Prisco is much better looking than Justin Timberlake even dreams of becoming.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at August 7, 2008 2:30 PM

And I must have missed the thread where fat, hairy (yet bald), short men were dissed....someone clue me in. Please?

I think it's mostly the common lauding of the opposites that makes that point, as well as the pointing out that certain men are "short" (I didn't know Stacey and Bedhead made a direct hit though, Mr. Prisco will have to elaborate on that for us), but there's also the occasional thing about Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, for example, being unbelievably cast against attractive women and so on.

Dustin's crush on Ryan Reynolds is a bit quisling too perhaps.

Anyway, what I gather the message is is that: hey, you all are giving us a fucking complex too (though of course some of us already had em). Mr. Prisco can correct me on this.

Posted by: Jay at August 7, 2008 2:32 PM

My hangover breakfast of champions is plenty of water, a v-8 (yay vitamin b and salt replenishment!), and a buttered bagel. Baby aspirin and Pedialyte is a great idea, too, I'll have to keep that in mind. Personally, I can't do the grease for breakfast thing anymore, it just makes me more nauseous. On days when I'm not hung over, though... bring on the fried lard, baby!

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatzhausen-jr.-in-defer...what-the-hell?! at August 7, 2008 2:34 PM

I am fortunately quite safe from the spambot assimilation, but thank you for your concern, Shadows of Dakaron.

What does a person have to do to get a free T-shirt? Do I need to post the random thoughts that wander through my stream of conscience? Do I need to let the voices start posting?

Melody, I suggest lurking for years and then go for the quick punch to the kidneys.

Thanks for the kudos.

Two Top Ten comments in three weeks??? Yahoo! If I can score one for next week, I'll be the New England Patriots of Pajiba...I'll be like Tom Brady, minus the supermodel girlfriend, dashing good looks, psychotically adoring fans, or the ability to throw a football like a man. Thank you, O Lords of Pajiba!

No no no, Tom Brady is nothing to shoot for. He hangs out with that bony bag o' trash and seems to represent, along with his employers, all that is Smug Dick. Plus he was soundly thrashed.

There's gotta be a good Triple Crown stallion to emulate. That's class.

Posted by: Jay at August 7, 2008 3:45 PM

I'll be like Tom Brady, minus the supermodel girlfriend, dashing good looks, psychotically adoring fans, or the ability to throw a football like a man.

David, my dear, there is one thing that you have over Brady, whom I find super hot. You can form an intelligent sentence, unlike dear Tom, who is clearly not capable of that. Trust me. Watch an interview with the boy. He is pretty, but he ain't smart.

Mr. Spambot, what will devour my family if I do not believe in toasters?

Also, I am impervious to your wiles. You will never take me alive.

Thank you Sugarfree.

Question here is: Where are my motherfucking girly tees? Or are they available already and I'm just talking out of my ass as usual? Carry on.

Well, they were made available as sizes about ten minutes after someone asked for them, if that's what you mean.

Posted by: TK at August 7, 2008 4:40 PM

I live only ten minutes from a zoo. A zoo with pandas.

jM- Ok, this only solidifies my theory that you live in the DC area--probably DC itself!

Why do I think this?

A)Your comment about being in a Caribou Coffee, which (accurately or not) I only associate with DC, because the one and only CC that I visited was in DC (in Adams Morgan, near that fabulous Ethiopian restaurant--we were waiting for it to open for lunch).

B)The whole pandas thing. 'Cause the only zoo that I've been to with pandas was the National Zoo.

Actually, I made the DC assumption as soon as you mentioned CC, but when you started on the panda lust, that just confirmed it for me. And now, no matter how much you declare that you do not live in/very near DC, I shall not believe you.

Posted by: tamatha at August 7, 2008 4:51 PM

I was in DC in August once.

ONCE.

Joker, if you go to t-shirt land and clicky on the size tabby for the shirt of your choice, the girly tees are listed at the bottom. However, us ladies can totally put the unisex shirts to good use, as well. Just today I ordered a Murdertank™ shirt in unisex, because I intend to sleep in it and have sweet, sweet homicidal dreams.

Posted by: Sarina at August 7, 2008 4:58 PM

Sarina, Jay, thanks. Sarina, stop teasing me with fake links. You made the words blue to make me think it's a link! May a pie fall on your face.

Posted by: Joker at August 7, 2008 5:01 PM

Jay- Does that mean you were in DC only once and it happened to be in August, or that you will never go to DC in August again, but other months of the year are okay? Personally, I'd recommend avoiding July, most of June, and early September as well.

Ironically enough, the time I was in Caribou Coffee was in August--during a frickin' heat wave! Walk two feet, break out in a drenching sweat. How pleasant!

Posted by: tamatha at August 7, 2008 5:01 PM

I wasn't teasing you with fake links, I just fucked up my tags, apparently. That's what I get for doing about 17 things at once.

Here's a proper link (I hope): t-shirt land.

Sorry!

Posted by: Sarina at August 7, 2008 5:11 PM

Can anyone who's gotten a unisex tell me how the fit and material is compared with other regular men's t-shirts? I couldn't get an answer on that question after multiple attempts, but he was only listening to stupid stinky girls' requests that day.

Actually, the time of year was coincidental, my band had somehow gotten a gig at the Galaxy Hut in Arlington. I think a friend of ours finagled it for us. We'd never left Athens and were very, very small time. We decided to go downtown and hang out for a while afterwards and walked around the Mall and monuments and such. It got to be around 1:30 and it was still a molasses thick 80-odd degrees. As Elvis Costello said, the heat was almost frightening. I saw Belle and Sebastian there in May one time and it was better (though Constitution Hall, to now quote the obviously unthrilled and unappreciated victims of a really poor mix in a big cavernous room suffering through being an opening act Sleater-Kinney: NO Rock N Roll Fun.) (It was personally cool that it felt like being at The American Adventure theater in EPCOT, but that didn't make up for what a lousy music venue it was).

three-nineteen, I meet hundreds and thousands of children and you would not believe what people inflict upon their offspring in the guise of an "original" or "unique" (read misguided and delusional) name. One little girl is named Sparkle. For a while I hoped it was a nickname. Nope. She's only two, so she hasn't protested yet. It's rather as though her parents have already said, nope forget law school, medical school, or a future in any reasonable career, we think our little darling would be an excellent stripper/porn star. Same goes for Starlight's parents. I also know an Aschleighea (pronounced Ashley) and a Sundance. And the list goes on. Occasionally my coworkers and I can compete for the most ridiculous or overly complicated name we see that week.

If I wanted to waste my time with made-up explanations for things cooked up by random assholes and retards, then I'd listen when my family talked to me.

Sarina, I just about choked on my Cranky-Os when I saw that. Would a simple Heimlich warning be too much to ask?

Seriously, numbers six through one musta blown you or something.

TK, you of all people should know it's not that simple. I seem to recall you with a few top-10 placements, which means you swore the secret and sacred oath of Prisco, and that your nostrils will thus never be the same shape again. Unless by complaining you're revoking your compliance, which means you'll be burning up your list and handing over control of your zombie horde.

Your comment is SO spot-on, hilarious, tears-to-my-eyes funny that I can't adequately express how much I love you right now.

Working at a gov't office for 10+ yrs (in SC, take note), I have encountered the most bizarre names ever committed to paper, which seem to have been invented either more out of spite from a baby's parent, or a rather drunken, off-the-cuff 'label' these parents chose on the spot, without any consideration for those poor children doomed to be ridiculed, cajoled and teased to carry the horrendous moniker for the rest of their lives. Either way, it's an abomination and a bitch-slap to the rest of society who are forced to translate this ridiculous license that some people take and expect us to make sense out of.

"So sorry, Ms. Jefferson, but your baby's name of "Shanee'qua La'Shay Bambaata' Qui Entero" can't really be type-translated to a computer data base when you're applying for a Social Security card."

I'm only spouting my own views here, liz, didn't mean to exploit your own, I just like being more sarcastic than most.

In closing, let me once again congratulate you on your most impressive and beautifully-written comment.

Posted by: TMax at August 7, 2008 7:45 PM

I also work in gov't...and I saw a legal name change that brought tears to my eyes:

First name was: Mister
Surname was: Keeperofthereef

If you ever addressed him formally, you'd have to say "Mister Mister Keeperofthereef".

Now why don't you just waddle on over here and TOSS MY SALAD, you fucking maggot excrement?

The leading candidate for District Judge in my city right now? Her name is Twinkle.

As in little star.

This is a politician, people. And, from reading her bio, has a law degree. When asked, she said that her grandmother liked the name, so that's what they named her.

At least she's not doing anything cutesy with her campaigning...

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 8, 2008 8:48 AM

TMax, my problem isn't you giving credit - it's the sycophantic manner you sometimes do it in. Similarly, my problem isn't that you're a drunk - it's the fact that you CONSTANTLY feel the need to mention it.

When you back off of those two things, you can actually be rather insightful. But the rest gets a little repetitive, and, as others have maybe mentioned... a little creepy.

So if my comment appeared hateful, perhaps it was simply that the final straw had been laid on the poor camel's back. I just wish you could post without playing the same tapes over and over.

Posted by: I Love Beets at August 8, 2008 9:10 AM

Posted by: lilianna28 at August 8, 2008 9:16 AM

If my parents had named me Twinkle, I'd have had it legally changed by kindergarten, and it would have been my mission in life to punch them in the face at least once a day. You know, on principle. Also, I'd sell their house on Craig's List, superglue all their fingers together in their sleep, and switch out their shampoo for depillatory cream. When that stopped being fun, I'd have them both committed to a mental institute in some armpit state like Idaho, and never visit them because they're the assholes who named me goddamn "Twinkle". I'd also probably pay off the orderly staff to kick them in the shins regularly, feed them nothing but liver & onions, and put fire ants in their bed sheets. At Christmas, I'd send them musical greeting cards that played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and said "FUCK YOU!" inside.

...does Hallmark make cards like that? Whatever, I'd special order them if I had to. I mean, "Twinkle"? What the fucking fuck? You can't even be a stripper with a name like Twinkle! All the other strippers with names like Bunny and Sugar would laugh at your ass.

How did I miss this yesterday? I can't believe my public display of weeping and gnashing of teeth for the fate of generations to come made it into the top comments! I'm flattered and flabbergasted. I'm 27, that's not Gen Douche is it? IS IT? I always thought I was in limbo between X and Y(or whatever). Where do I belong?!

Posted by: HB at August 8, 2008 9:30 AM

Well, HB, sad to say that you do seem to fall into Gen Douche chronologically -- but there is a demographic escape hatch that you already seem to have found by virtue of your literate self-awareness and your presence here...

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 8, 2008 9:52 AM

Hmmm, well let's see here, Beets:

On a site whose features include 'boozehound cinephile', 'hangover theater' and a 'drinking game', I feel it's only natural to mention when I'm inebriated, which isn't nearly as often as I'd like to be in this fucked-up world nowadays.

As for being sycophantic, excuse me if I happen to be more generous in my praise than you'd like me to be; it's simply my nature, and I apologize to no one for it. Also, your comment didn't "appear" hateful, it simply was, and you're an idiot to think you can downplay your own unique nutsackiness when it's right up there in print.

As for lillianna28, I'm still trying to figure out what I said to pop her cork, but I assure you it ain't keeping me awake at night. And by the way, I think you meant 'liable' instead of 'libel', you not-so-eloquent cunt-lick.

And you're quite welcome for my inciting you enough to parlay your rage into a #3 spot on Brian's list- may you and your sad, mis-guided ego live crappily ever after.

ooh, did I just hear a blood vessel pop??

Posted by: TMax at August 8, 2008 10:05 AM

Well, congratulations then, on dropping down to our level of hatefulness, instead of thinking that maybe there was a valid point hidden in my vitriol.

The truth is this, TMax: you're a smart guy. You write well. You sometimes make interesting points. But your constant ass-kissing (and I'm not the first to point this out) is a little disturbing. And yes, the site features all of those alcohol related things. But YOU'RE the only one who feels the need to compulsively mention his state of insobriety at every turn, in near every post, sometimes apropos of nothing, sometimes as an excuse for your rambling. It simply gets a bit tiresome after a while.

So, you may disregard this post as more bullshit. You may strike back as nastily as you please. OR, you may read it and realize that some of your "quirks" are both disturbing and annoying to a number of people, and maybe try to temper it a little. The choice, as they say, is yours.

Posted by: I Love Beets at August 8, 2008 10:13 AM

Alright. This 27 year old member of Gen Y is making her point with the usage of Wikipedia.

I remember being referred to as Millennials or Gen Y. According to Wikipedia, Gen Y is those born in early 1980's (1981 myself) to 1994. Prominent events in their time include Challenger, O.J., the Berlin Wall, and Iraq Wars.

Gen X is the those that were born in 1965 to 1980. Prominent events include Vietnam, gas crisis, and the Cold War.

Given the evidence stated above, Gen D should be designated for those that were born after 1994 through 2009.

Posted by: Melody at August 8, 2008 10:19 AM

Lord, I do love this sort of pointless debate!

While your hair-splittingly technical definition of generations neatly accounts for Miley Cyrus, Melody, I don't hew to the belief that the 14-and-under set is yet accountable for the woes that some might want to assign to them -- that honor still belongs, so far, to their parents. I believe Dustin tried to make that point earlier; it's painfully self-incriminating but still the truth.

My date and year of birth put me on the cusp of many things; I occupy the nether region between the Boomers *groan* and Generation X, and between Pisces and Aries astrologically, yet have never slotted well into any of them. My douchebag brother, on the other band, born five years later epitomizes the nihilistic, disdainful apathy of Gen X -- so the notion that his spawn, just now seizing control of the cultural reins, would excel at douchebaggery shouldn't be surprising.

Or some of us might just like to taunt and annoy kids for the sport of it.

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 8, 2008 10:52 AM

Melody, thank you! As a 1987 baby (only two weeks outside of 1986) I'm apparently firmly entrenched in Generation Y. Huzzah!

Tmax, with all due respect, tone down the extreme mood swings a little. I wouldn't necessarily agree with the words IloveBeets used to express it, but surely you'll concede that your praise of other commenters and in particular reviewers can be (for better or worse) over-effusive? I mean, when most people content themselves with a simple "Ha!", "Marry me" or "Do ungodly things to me behind the middle school", coming out with "Your comment is SO spot-on, hilarious, tears-to-my-eyes funny that I can't adequately express how much I love you right now...In closing, let me once again congratulate you on your most impressive and beautifully-written comment." (which, amusing as libraryliz's post was, is perhaps overstating things just a little).

Given that you mentioned the last time this came up in a comment thread (when The Great Mango, if I recall correctly, attacked you in a similar manner) you admitted that part of the reason you post such nice things about some of the reviewers is an attempt to get back into their good books after offending them with previous posts, it does raise questions about your motivations. If praising others to the high heavens is your default state then that's your thing and go with it (even if it is a little jarring on a website dedicated to bitchiness and sarcasm); if it's because you feel bad about previous offences, though, then it starts coming across as creepy and kinda desperate. As the last few people above me have mentioned, you're a smart, funny poster who often says intelligent or incisive things; you don't need to spend half of every post gushing love at people for them to like you.

As for lillianna28, you know exactly what you did to annoy her. You wrote a post telling her how to act and how to expect to be treated around Pajiba, and she thoroughly owned your ass. Given the type of website this is, that's going to happen; based on your post to her in that comment thread, you're well aware of that yourself. The decent response would be to accept when you're bested and take it, or at minimum let it pass by and retain some dignity. "not-so-eloquent cunt-lick" perhaps undercuts your own case ever-so-slightly.

Che Grovera, I'm really glad someone got some joy out of my mom's favorite story. She likes that one almost as much as the time my little brother broke her nose or that time she broke her leg by standing up.

Posted by: Tyburn Blossom at August 8, 2008 11:01 AM

Che, I was making the point because I hate being lumped in with the brainwashed masses of Disney-fied people. Shay, glad you enjoyed it. I am here to help.

I have always thought of myself as someone that is supposed to belong to Gen X. The term Millennials makes my eyes bleed and hurts my soul. I remember the highlights of the Reagan years and am cynical and bitter about society in general. Apathy is fun because it annoys the hell out of others. I think that if you are born during that first year of transition between generations, you can go either way.

I just get very annoyed when people lump all children of the 80's with the brainwashed masses of the current generation.

I also feel the same way about astrological signs. However, I am a Leo and act exactly like we are supposed to.

ANYWAY. I'm annoyed because (and yes, I do see the craziness in what I'm about to say), I was just home in MD last weekend, and now I feel like there was a chance that I could have met you in person. And how awesome would that be? A Pajiba meet up?

Sigh. I guess I'll just have to console myself with the lack of sore stomach muscles (from laughing so much), and my nostrils being un-assaulted (from things squirting out of them, see previous note re: laughter), and you know, not being in jail because of attempted break in to the panda exhibit at the National Zoo.

And while I'm on a posting roll, am I the only Pajiban who really dislikes the idea of a Wikipedia entry?

Pajiba is something you have to find on your own. (Granted, I can be a bit slow on the uptake, but it wasn't until my third visit to this site that I figured out what it was about, how it worked, and then, how fuckin' awesome the Pajibans are.)

And although I definitely think some links on the masthead, or in the "about" section of the sight to WBNS, MurderTank, and Godtopus would be great to get newbies up to speed, the idea of some stranger just clicky clicky-ing on a Wikipedia entry and thinking they know what this is, well, it's just wrong.

And yeah, I'm being Godtopusdamned elitist, but Pajiba is more than a web site; it's a community, and you have to be here for at least a little while (length of time varies depending on the individual) before you feel a part of it.

So, if Pajiba has to have a Wiki page (and I recognize more readers are better for the overlords, who really do deserve a greater financial return, I'm sure) can it be short and sweet: Pajiba.com is a review site focusing mostly on film, t.v., and books, as well as, daily trade round ups. Its tagline: Scathing Reviews for Bitchy People sets the tone for the site. Pajiba is not easily defined; however, and needs to be experienced to be understood.? And then a link to this place?

I'm asking too much, aren't I?

Fine I'll go be elitist in the corner and shake my fist and stamp my feet.

Posted by: tamatha at August 8, 2008 12:34 PM

tamatha...that's why we should post Balderdash-like stream-of-conscious entries...like:

"The resplendent Pajibite in her native environment is very aggressively wanton, arm-wrestling koalas and toasting the downfall of civilization one fetus at a time as they pummel their way through baby seals on the Siberian coast. They are universally reviled for their cherry stem-tying abilities, but have managed to create an import/export trade route with the North Indian Sex Institute of Paraguay. Use extreme caution when mentioning the following words - moist, uwe, bay, panda, taco, Scrabble, funion - as these will immediately incite frenzy of excitement not unlike a bull seal protecting its gay walrus lover. The only way to survive the attack will be to wave a picture of a three-legged puppy and run when she is distracted by the awesome cuteness.

Above all else, do not let the gentle creature exhaust her alcohol supply, or she will politely ask when the last time you had a drink while she gazes hungrily at your throat."

Posted by: jM at August 8, 2008 1:39 PM

Why yes they are! As now-indicted senator Ted Stevens said, the internets are a series of tubes that information, goods, and services flow through from one place to another. I can see that people as well would do the same.

Thus, with the invention of a wikipedia entry, unsavory elements go invade our beloved place of demented, happy, and rightfully insane happy place.

Unless someone can come up with a way to block the tubes to prevent such elements from entering this sacred place.

Posted by: tamatha at August 8, 2008 1:58 PM

Tamatha and jM, I'm planning a trip to DC sometime in the fall or winter to visit one of my best friends. I am SO tagging along if I can coincide it with your meeting.

Posted by: Julie at August 8, 2008 2:02 PM

Shadows, we are going to have to create the Pajiba entrance test. Your questions are excellent.

Also:
What are your feelings on the following people:
Uwe Boll
Paul Haggis
Steven Colbert (for my own reasons, if you are a member of Colbert Nation, I like you, otherwise not so much)
Celebutards
Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers

What is your favorite drink?

I think that this will help to eliminate some of the unsavory elements.

The list is open for suggestions.

Posted by: Melody at August 8, 2008 2:02 PM

There should at least be some sort of quiz to determine if you and Pajiba are a good match, like:

1) Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and I:

a) Took the road less traveled by.

b) Took the well traveled path.

c) Walked back to that bar I passed and started drinking towards a Level IV hangover and rambled about the existence of a one-eyed cephalopod deity while asking for the nearest zoo and threatening to shank anyone who says moist within earshot of me but who isn't referring to the second greatest villain of all time.

2) Do you have a uncontrollable desire to edit the crazy run-on sentence in the question above?
(Circle one) Yes No

3) Has your hatred toward certain directors/actors/authors ever led you to draw up schematics for a death-dealing vehicle of mass destruction that comes with a fully stocked bar?
(Circle one) Yes No

I see from your comment, tamatha, that you failed to observe the hyperlink on my name in my first muppety post...sss'alright (I still can't decide if Senor Wences qualifies as a puppet or not for purposes of the revolution).

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 8, 2008 2:21 PM

jM:
Change "yellow" to "clit" in question #1 and I'm good with it.

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 8, 2008 2:23 PM

Julie- That would be fantabulous beyond all words! And hey, if we can't all get together, ('cause I'm not going to be there until shortly before Christmas), I'm guessing that two visits from two different Pajibans wouldn't be too terrible for jM.

And we do have to keep her occupied and away from the pandas. Because, I think you get limited access to the interwebs if you are in jail--and Pajiba is probably blocked there anyway--and how sad would we be without jM commenting regularly?

Also, you clearly can't be involved in any pandascapades, because you'd accidentally fall into the lion's den or hippo area (and I hear those hippos, although adorable, are actually quite vicious).

Oh my God, you guys, there are a LOT of links flying around willy-nilly today. My fingers are exhausted from all the clicking. I kind of need a nap now... I think I'm just gonna drink a shitload of Rockstar, and it'll probably even out.

Posted by: Sarina at August 8, 2008 2:25 PM

Che- I did follow the link, which is where I got the idea to find the Grover Near and Far sketch. (Which then led to a whole treasure trove of classic Sesame Street clips, which are now bookmarked on my work computer for days when I could use a little help from my friends--see what I did there?) I'm slow, but not a complete idiot.

Most of the time.

Posted by: tamatha at August 8, 2008 2:27 PM

My dear tamatha, I would never accuse you of slowness -- much less idiocy.

I'm just a little confused over which link you are referring to, for the simple reason that the hyperlink attached to my signature (NOT the one in the post itself) is a link to the same video you posted as being one of your faves.

Much love! *jumps the couch*

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 8, 2008 2:46 PM

Che-Ohhhh. I'm having a Roseanne Roseannadana moment. Ne-ver mind.

Yes, I see that I did miss the link to your signature. See, sometimes I am a complete idiot.

Now, of course, I do love that you linked the Near-Far clip!

Why are you behind the couch?

Looking for pandas, what else?

That, or struggling for a lame Tom Cruise reference...

P.S. Whatever you do, don't check the signature for links.

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 8, 2008 3:17 PM

Ooh, I hadn't checked this comment thread for a while, due to being busy with work and life and living. Thank you TMax (which I confess I first typed TJ Max which is a store). I don't know if he is being over effusive in his praise in order to make up for offending me previously. I don't remember being offended by him, but then I'm not a prolific poster, more sporadic, so I doubt I've said enough to start a riff that would offend anyone.

Posted by: libraryliz at August 8, 2008 3:29 PM

Oh hell yeah! Let's get this Pajiborgy started. Merry Christmas, indeed.

Posted by: jM at August 8, 2008 3:35 PM

jM-- Julie will probably show up with taco dip. And a scrabble board.

Posted by: tamatha at August 8, 2008 4:10 PM

Wrong! I'll show up with a box of Strawberry Fig Newtons and a hippity hop and totally blow your minds.

Posted by: Julie at August 8, 2008 4:16 PM

All this talk of taco dip and Julie and blowing is making my nethers moist...

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 8, 2008 4:17 PM

Julie- If Strawberry Fig Newtons actually contain figs, then I'll be making my "that's yucky" face. I hate fig newtons. But if they just look like fig newtons, but are actually filled with strawberries (strawberry jam like substance, whatever), I'll give one a try. I don't want to offend or anything.

HB, I'm afraid as a fellow 1980ian, I have also been up late at night clutching my purple plushie Godtopus pondering which of the stinking cesspool Generations I could call home. And I'm afraid we must go with Melody's defining events in our lives as pointing us in the right direction:

Gen Y is those born in early 1980's (1981 myself) to 1994. Prominent events in their time include Challenger, O.J., the Berlin Wall, and Iraq Wars.

Gen X is the those that were born in 1965 to 1980. Prominent events include Vietnam, gas crisis, and the Cold War.

I don't know about you, but I was far too busy figuring out how to beat the tar out of that bitchy blonde Krystal at four-square to see that the Russians were a cause for distress. The defining things that I remember place me (and, I would assume, you) squarely in the Gen-Y celebrity fuck-tard world.

I know, I know. Hug it out. I'll bring the scotch if you bring the Monty Python. Together, we can curse our parents for not consuming all that Wild Turkey and consumating their quasi-warm feelings for each other at least a few years sooner.

Look at all of you...FLAUNTING your expert use of html tags while I'm left feebley groping for my copy of 'html for dummies'.

Che Grovera, I expect nothing less than a full révolution defining near and far, brought to me by the letter 'v' and the number '7'.

Che Grovera, I expect nothing less than a full révolution defining near and far, brought to me by the letter 'V' and the number '7'.

Posted by: popejenn at August 9, 2008 1:57 AM

As you wish.

I've enlisted the aid of Guy Fawkes (in spirit) and Detective David Mills. 'V', in particular, is eager to participate (and we can make good use of his skills!); '7' is a little tougher case (but he'll come around once he's away from that brood of his).

Viva la revolucion!

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 9, 2008 12:23 PM

I was hoping V would make an appearance, he and I could share our twirling knife techniques. A meeting of minds in butchery.

That 7 will have to shape up or ship out! Does godtopus have any forbidden list of sins? If so, 7 may be a tough guy to wrangle into our rebel camp.

Posted by: popejenn at August 9, 2008 12:33 PM

I've recruited 6 and 8, so we've got 7 surrounded.

*Thank you! Thank you! Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitresses!*

Posted by: popejenn at August 9, 2008 1:06 PM

You will meet V when he is ready. You know how he is...

*sound of shuffling papers*

I seem to have misplaced my List of Tacky Things a Pajiban Must Never Do! Shadows of Dakaron, do you have a copy handy? I know that adultery isn't on the list (as if!), so I can't imagine what 7's problem would be now that he doesn't have to worry about that vapid Jennifer Aniston.

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 9, 2008 1:22 PM

He has been rather worried that the Benetton marketing department will kidnap him and his family and the ransom photos will be used in their next ad campaign...

That would Verily Vex my Viceral Villain to Voraciously aid his numerical Vagabond counterpart. Visiting Victory on the Varlet company would no doubt help lead us to Victory.

Olé! That stretched my knowledge of english language synonyms to get all those v's!

Posted by: popejenn at August 9, 2008 1:37 PM

Mr. Rowles, Sir, I'm appealing to your humanity. If you care about pajiba as much as your audience does, you'll dismiss Mr. Prisco. Under his stewardship of the top comment section of pajiba, he's single handedly destroyed what was once a beacon of civility, and is now nothing more than a column to advertise for those smut peddlers among us that are looking for sexual encounters. Someone must be held accountable for this pervasive filth that is ruining our society and has now reached the shores of pajiba.

Regarding the "see you at the debates, bitches...", MK @ dlisted compared his hatred of Paris to "making me want to spit in the eye of a baby bird and then hug it until it bites me."

There's some sort of allegory in this, but maybe not for a 100 years or so.
