Eloquent Eloquence is a compilation of the ten best comments of the week. Comments in reviews are not eligible for inclusion.

There is a link in the commenter’s name that will take you to the original post.

Blatant narcissism:

Are you, or one of your loved ones, plagued by a surfeit of open-mindedness? Do you have a bad habit of giving alleged evil-doers the benefit of the doubt? Do you feel sorry for the less fortunate despite their manifest failure to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and achieve personal wealth as is the duty and right of every good American? Does Obama still seem like a good choice? Are you eating the grass instead of smoking it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be suffering from a condition known as libtard sheepdom (Ovis Liberatum ) and its co-morbid syndrome even-toed ungulation. Talk to your doctor about the new Foxygen ™ Inhaler, to see if it’s right for you. You need not suffer in silence. You can be freed from the burden of compassion.

Side Effects May Include:

Gay Republicanism
Gerrymandered Uterus
Murdoch Prolapse
Teabag Hoarding
OCD (Obsessive Clinton Disorder)
Arrythmia Coulteri
Loss of Empathy
Inability to Ask or Tell
Headrush to Judgment

10. Is it strange that the grammar discussion turned me on? You people and your transitive verbs, swoon. - catagisreading

9. Let Uwe Boll direct it, he’ll get it done in 3 weeks with a budget of 5 million and Christian Slater playing all the roles. - Thaddicus Roll.

8. Or am I just making an ass out of you and me?

You’re half right.

A couple of years ago, I drove to my home town to visit my family for Thanksgiving. We always celebrated the holiday at my maternal grandmother’s house, so that’s the first place I headed (this was the night before the holiday, not that that matters). Now, my grandmother is well into her 90s (I believe she was 96 at the time), so naturally her hearing isn’t the best. As a result, her TV is usually at a volume sufficient to be heard over a nuclear explosion.

When I walked into the house, my family were all sitting in the living room, talking and watching a Law & Order marathon (I think it was L&O: Everybody Gets Raped). So I’m greeting my family, excited about the celebration and food to come the next day, and only sort of half paying attention to the TV. Suddenly, this deathly screaming erupts from the show, so I turn my full attention to the episode to see what all the fuss could be.

From what I could glean about the episode, the lead actress was undercover in a women’s prison because a guard had been accused of raping multiple inmates. Apparently Boss Rapesalot had set his sights on our heroine, and was chasing her through some disused or under construction portion of the prison, all while she screamed bloody murder (which I imagine the editors of that show have on a constant loop). Terrifying, and no child appropriate at all.

This was followed up by an episode in which a promising young musician was killed…after being sodomized by a violin bow. Which fact they repeated multiple times:

Cop 1: “What’s the cause of all the trauma?”
M.E.: “She was sodomized with a violin bow.”

ADA: “Are we holding back any facts from the press?”
DA: “That she was sodomized with a violin bow.”

Cop’s Kid: “Ooh, Mad Libs! She was ______(past tense verb) with a ___________(compound noun).”
Cop: “…”

And this on one of the most popular shows in the country. But yes, clearly Janet Jackson’s bejeweled boob or Cher’s f-bomb are the real threats to the kids. - JustBill

7. I’m not going to hate on you for not knowing about the bronies, brohoof. Just recognize that its an ironic trend that won’t be going away until they stop making new episodes. - Robert

6. Me: “I think I liked A Perfect Murder…”

Husband : “No, you didn’t. You liked the blond chick’s haircut. Paltrow. Whatever her name is. I remember you wouldn’t shut up about it. That’s pretty much all I remember about that movie other than the cop’s kid had a fever and the Paltrow chick spoke some foreign language to him and OH MY GOD I LOVE HER HAIR.”

Me: “You’re right! Let’s never be apart.” - the other courtney

5. One good song about the virtues of butt-sex could totally turn her career (and my feelings about her) around.

“She wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She’s cheer captain, but I do the keester” - admin

4. “Those hoping to get a peak of the famous Fasschlong…”

In this context, should we assume “peak” to be synonymous with “tip?” - Billy

3. So… there’s your answer, Hollywood. Kill all the douchebags.

Ah yes. Seppuku. The honorable way out. - branded

2. ‘Every zombie has a story’

That’s gotta be the best collection of words I’ve seen in at least a week.

‘Every zombie has a story, and they aren’t always happy. For just £2 a month you could sponsor a zombie and help make its death much longer and much nicer. Here’s Jonah. Jonah is a poor, brain-deprived zombie from the urban ghetto. Jonah doesn’t ask for much. Just brains. For just £2 a month you could ensure that Jonah gets a nice home in the suburbs with a family that would love and care for him. And then he could eat their brains. So, please, consider just £2 a month for Jonah or a zombie just like him.’ - zeke the pig

1. I’m confused. Is the pre-op niece still a girl? Did she take something that made her breasts bigger and lopsided instead of shrinking? If the niece is still a nephew why would David O Russell want to feel his breasts unless David O Russell is gay. If David O Russell is gay, why would he want to feel breasts anyway? Wouldn’t he be going for the beans? And wouldn’t the beans shrink along with the lopsided breasts? If he is not gay, why is he trying to feel a boys breasts? Wouldn’t he wait for post-op to feel a girl’s breasts? Why wouldn’t a boy that is not yet a girl just slam David O Russell is his breast-feeling puss instead of filing a report. And did the police officer who took said report piss himself laughing about David O Russell’s odd fetish. Does this niece or nephew know that David O Russell is a rich Hollywood director and is trying to cash in on his breast feeling obsession? And how much cash could you actually rake in? Would it be enough to straighten out those lopsided breasts?

And what does Lily Tomlin have to say about this? Isn’t she a pre-op transgendered female? I’m sure she’s a niece. I’m pretty sure she has niece/nephews. But I don’t think she has breasts, lopsided or otherwise. And why didn’t David O Russell scream at Christian Bale and Marky Mark the way he screamed at poor breastless Lily Tomlin. Is it because The Fighter was filmed in cold Massachusetts and not hot Florida, and cooler heads prevailed. Or is it because Marky Mark would have punched the piss out of David O Russell and would not have said hi to his mother. Marky Mark would not have allowed David O Russell to go around feeling up pre-operative trangender nieces, especially Mary Mark’s, if he has a pre-operative transgendered niece, which he probably does because he has 47 kids in his family and one of his niece/nephews must be a pre-operative transgendered niece/nephew. Oh yeah, Marky Mark says to say hi to your mother. But he will not say hi to David O Russell’s mother because she raised a pre-operative transgendered female breast feeling obsessive and she does not deserve a howdy do from Marky Mark.

I’m also pretty sure that David O Russell’s defense attorney in his upcoming breast feeling trail will claim that David O Russell was just doing research for his next movie.

See what I’m up against? - kirbyjay

I am beyond astonished at No. 1.

I knew the bronies wouldn't let me down. Now to excise that vocabulary from my brain and pretend it doesn't exist.

'Undeath'. I knew I fucked up a word. Thanks.

It in no way counteracts the awesome, zeke.

Cheers, Mrs. J.

At last, I have an entry in EE! Next week, all 10 spots will be mine. Just you wait.

Posted by: JustBill at January 13, 2012 1:02 PM

@Mrs. Julien


Last night as I was getting ready for bed, after saying my prayers and putting on my cpap mask, it hit me. I had an epiphany, see, I always thought that you didn’t have a sense of humor. But you do have a sense of humor, its just that I think your sense of humor would be best utilized critiquing stories from Reader’s Digests’ humor side of the house. See Mrs. J, your attempts at improving EE has led you to gut EE of its soul. EE was unapologetic, searing and at times revealing. And now you’ve turned it into some goddamn Gallagher happy hour. Mrs. Julien I don't ask this lightly, but I’m asking you to consider other positions here at pajiba where your considerable talents can be best used.

I missed #6 the first time around. Can I just say: I love it. As a single person, I can only hope someday to meet someone who "gets" me so well.

Posted by: MM at January 13, 2012 1:34 PM

These encounters with Pookie always makes me feel like a 13 year old girl who has just been smacked by a boy who then runs away as he calls out, "I love you!".

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at January 13, 2012 1:57 PM

Well, y'all are back on form after recovering from the holiday hangovers. Kudos.

Posted by: BierceAmbrose at January 13, 2012 2:04 PM

Best start to the weekend ever.

Posted by: Catagisreading at January 13, 2012 2:16 PM

Pookie is absolutely pulling your pigtails, Mrs. J.

Posted by: MM at January 13, 2012 2:24 PM

Is he going to call me "Carrots"?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at January 13, 2012 2:25 PM

Pookie. You know I respect you. I do. Your viscious honesty is rare, and as such it is frequently appealing to me.

However, there must be a point in your life (hopefully immediately after reading my comment) when you come to the realization that there is rarely such a thing as objective truth. The way you feel about things is not necessarily the way things are, and if you continue to expect reality to conform to your expectations, you will frequently become frustrated and dissapointed.

EE is subjective and beholden to who is organizing it. There is no factual certainty about which comments through-out the week were actually the best, and which were middling and pathetic. That's impossible, because "best" and "worst" are opinions. EE isn't weak because of Mrs. Julien. It's exactly the way it should be under Mrs. Julien. Just as it was exactly the way it should be under Figgy. Even though their styles were very different.

I know you must have noticed this in other ways on the site. Pajiba Love was a much different affair under Feist as it is under J.Rob, for example. Pajiba evolves and changes as contributors come and go; features are colored differently by each new writter that takes the helm. Old ways will pass and now forms of entertainment will take their place. Someday Mrs. Julien will get sick of us (though hopefully not just sick of your baiting) and move on to something else (though hopefully not for some time).

You keep coming back week after week to express your displeasure. And seriously dude, we get it. You don't agree with her favorites. We all understand this; there is no confusion on this topic anywhere on the entire internets. Pookie can haz hate for EE.

So let it drop. Realize that you distaste for EE feels a lot more like distaste for Mrs. Julien (please see my notes on the subjectivity of this column) and nobody likes a bully. And just let it drop.

I'm giving the number one a standing slow clap. Well played indeed.

@superasente

My name Pookie, Pookie, and in the history of the world when has someone with the name Pookie has ever said something that wasn’t silly, nonsensical or ridiculous? Trust me superasente, Mrs. Julien gives as good as she gets, she doesn’t need you to speak for her. I like the way Mrs. Julien runs EE, I liked the way Figgy ran EE, and Prisco before the both of them. When Dustin did EE I liked the way he ran it, I tried to break his balls in the process also. Superasente, I love coming to Pajiba, it is one of the many joys in my life. Right now as my son plays with his stuffed animals from “Build-a-Bear” ( I’ll fucking talk about that goddamn shake down store another day), and watching MSNBC and typing this response to you, I think you’re taking my comments a bit too seriously. Trust me, I’m harmless, I’m just a big kid. My wife is a registered nurse that runs 5k marathons, so how much of a bully can I really be? I’m sorry that I’ve cause this much angst. I will stop commenting about EE, besides, Pajiba has other places for me to make comments.

This place is so mannered and civil.


TOO mannered and civil.

I think we understand each other.

[winks and cups your balls]

No? Wrong understanding?
Whatever, you know you want it.

Posted by: superasente at January 13, 2012 3:35 PM

I miss the good old days of torch this mother down race wars. Civil discourse is for the weak. Bring on the pitchforks.

Posted by: Robert at January 13, 2012 4:54 PM

"sigh" there is no place here for me and my one-liners...

Posted by: logan at January 13, 2012 7:46 PM

Good Queen (Mrs)Julien, I am so honored and humbled to be included in this weeks comments that I curtsy at the royal feet. I feel like I've been knighted (or damed).

I shall henceforth be known as Dame Kirbyjay,EE


P.S. Did Pookie just say Mrs. J had no sense of humor? This is an ABOMINATION!!

Posted by: kirbyjay at January 13, 2012 11:42 PM

Yay, zeke! I was rooting for you.

Kirbyjay, I've read #1, like, five times, and I'm still gobsmacked by its brilliance.

Posted by: Stinky at January 14, 2012 11:12 AM

Anyone ever run a criminal background check on anyone? Apparently my 19 year old daughter just began dating this guy and I think I amgoing to check his background. This dude just seems like a thug. Can anyone let me know of a reputable background checkcompany online?
