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.


10. I’m going to make a movie with no dialogue titled Unblinking starring Harry Lloyd, Ian Somerhalder, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Eddie Redmayne, and Cillian Murphy.

It’ll be a kind of homage to Ringu but exponentially creepier. - branded


9. NAILED the Myrna Loy and William Powell one!!!!!! NAILED IT!!!!!!! HAMMER AND NAIL!!!! NINE INCH NAILS!!!! …don’t actually like them too much… I like the Johnny Cash cover of Hurt though. That music video gives me the chills. - Theseus

8. Dustin, you know TK’s just jealous that you have twice the infant army as he does.

Many, MANY heartfelt congratulations to you and Mrs Pajiba! I can’t imagine how stressed you’ve been, but with the ultimate happy outcome I bet you’re on cloud nine.

Wait. Oh god. How many ads to I have to click to pay for intensive twin post-natal treatment? 10,000? Okay.

Shirley, hold my calls.

*starts clicking dutifully* - Lauren

7. /realization

So, it just hit me that I’m both following and agreeing with the fashion critique, then, inspired, recalling with pleasure the slightly-catty swoon-fest that erupted hereabouts around the Harry Potter premiere cast photos.

WTF?

When did I devlolve graduate from “Boobies, woooooooo!” to “Yes, yes, indeed the spectacular Ms. Hendricks is in need of a girl or gay-friend, something actually fitted to her form, and good god woman, do something with that hair?”

Can someone explain to me just what the hell in happening to me here? I blame you people. All of you. Especially you. (You know who you are.) - BierceAmbrose

6. I am the token black guy. I’m just supposed to smile and stay out of the conversation and say things like: “Damn,” “Shit,” and “That is whack.” - John G.

5. Twig, I met my first wife while she was stumbling around naked in a blizzard. It was a day much like any other day. You know, gale force winds and blinding snow. This sultry temptress shuffles out of the blinding fury of the storm mumbling “Help. Please help”. It was love at first sight.

I was immediately entranced by the bluish hue of her skin. They way the icicles dangled delicately from her frost-bitten nipples. The tangled thatch between her legs resembling not so much the braided hair of a yak as a tangled weave of snowflakes pristine. Her stiff-legged gait only served to add to the allure of her rock hard behind as it seizured left and right. I had to have her.

I immediately covered her in my moose down traveling skin and fed her of the seal blubber and beaver tail I carry for my winter wanderings. I looked into the icy gray of her eyes and was lost in their lifeless pools of frozen jelly. I quietly murmured that we’d be together for ever and slipped the whale skin Frock of Everafter around her stiffening neck and about her shoulders. I gently rocked her as she lay frigid and sleeping in my arms.

The next morning I went to the local Igloo of Government and Important Stuff to ask Nanook to make our marriage official. Alas he told me that I was unable to marry what he called a “mangey reindeer”. Damn this country and its bureaucracy!

I’m not saying it happens all the time, just that it can happen. - admin

4. Mercurial Arborea? What is that supposed to be? Bipolar trees? - FabMax

3. Bella: I know what I saw.
Edward: And what exactly was that?
B: You- you stopped the van. You pushed it away with you hand.
E: Well, nobody’s going to believe you so…
B: I wasn’t going to tell anybody. I just need to know the truth.
E: Can’t you just thank me and get over it?
B: Thank you.
E: You’re not going to let this go are you?
B: No.
E: Well then I hope you enjoy disappointment.
Barack Obama: [springing out from behind a curtain] And I hope you enjoy hell, bloodsucker! [stakes Edward in the back; Edward disintigrates into flaming ash] It’s Obamacare at it’s best, motherfucker!
B: Now that’s what I call health insurance! [thumbs up] - superasente

2. I think the best argument against time travel is the difficulty in determining the physical location of a spot on earth, as time changes. Between the rotation and wobble of the earth, rotation and wobble of the sun, rotation of the solar system within the milky way, the rotation and wobble of the milky way, and the fact that the milky way is expanding outward away from the zero point of the big bang, all of which contain countless variables, even dropping out of time for just an hour, while returning to the same vector space in reality would result in the traveler emerging somewhere other than the Earth.

I am a dork…. - Diablo

…Unless the very mechanism of the time portal relies on the gravitational frame of reference of the Earth.

Yes, I’ve spent a few weed-hazy evenings contemplating it. - Ed

1. “Hi, I’m Candide, and with me is my mentor, Pangloss.”

“Thanks, Candide. Today, we’re going to talk about the atheists’ worst nightmare; the human nose. Now, as we all know, nothing evolves. So, things are now as they always were. If you look at the nose, you’ll see two nostrils; here, and here. The creator of the nose made them excellent for breathing. You’ll notice that if you fold a handkerchief thusly, the nose fits perfectly inside it. This is optimal for blowing the nose when one is sick. Speaking of which, the designer has built-in indicators for the nose. Normal-colored: healthy. Red and puffy: sick. Finally, perhaps the most telling evidence; the nose is designed perfectly for holding spectacles. Truly, this is the atheists’ worst nightmare.” - pissant

Oh God, Topanga.

I lazily skimmed the links to see if there might be a portal to more and there DOES NOT SEEM TO BE.

Where is that picture from? Is it new? Old? Indulge me, damn you.

What's Montana.....Dakota.....Tarzana....wait a minute, I know it's a beach.....Malibu, doing in the header pic? Can't believe Cory was hitting that. Can't help but think premature ejaculation was in the cards, did they do a very special episode on that?

Posted by: Kirbyjay at February 17, 2012 11:14 AM

Ohhhh "TOPANGA" , that's it. Thanks Martin

Posted by: Kirbyjay at February 17, 2012 11:15 AM

Diablo & Ed >> I've pondered that one many times myself and even started writing a science-fiction novel several years ago in which the time travel machine had t working fine but needed the XYZ to be complete.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at February 17, 2012 11:19 AM

Wait, that IS Topanga?

Sweet mother of pearl, girl.

*fans self*

Maybe SHE'S the atheist's worst nightmare (believes in a loving God again).

Posted by: , at February 17, 2012 11:24 AM

I sometimes watched that show for what I thought would be the inevitable joke about "Topanga's canyon." I don't think I ever heard it, though.

Posted by: , at February 17, 2012 11:25 AM

No joke, I have an appointment with an optometrist today for the first time in over a decade. Is Kirk Cameron's god trying to give me a sign? Are you there, Yahweh? It's me, pissant..........

Nope? Guess not, then.

Posted by: pissant at February 17, 2012 11:38 AM

You spelled "Atheist" wrong in the headline.
Sigh.

Posted by: editor? at February 17, 2012 11:40 AM

I...think number 6 is a reapeat comment. I know I've read it before, either here (a long time ago) or somwhere else in my internet travels.

Posted by: noodlestein at February 17, 2012 11:44 AM

noodle - I'm pretty sure that #6 is an exact quote from Not Another Teen Movie

Posted by: heathpie at February 17, 2012 11:54 AM

heathpie is correct. Plus, early Chris Evans, who is actually hilarious... hilarious... (Fantastic Four and Cellular notwithstanding of course)

Posted by: branded at February 17, 2012 12:00 PM

That Voltaire reference was inspired. I do not envy the divine Prolixity her task this week.

One small gripe. Yes, I cannot frakking type or proof read. BUT Godtopus darn it, I got the HTML right. That was an overstrike, not an underline. An overstrike on a typo, but still, can I be limited to my own errors? It's not like there's a shortage.

Posted by: BierceAmbrose at February 17, 2012 12:04 PM

I don't think I've ever seen a more spot on parody of the logic circles in Candide.

Posted by: Robert at February 17, 2012 12:11 PM

Yeah it's a direct quote from that Teen Movie. I recognized it right away.

Posted by: lillie at February 17, 2012 12:13 PM

....Which is a point I see has already been made.

Posted by: lillie at February 17, 2012 12:14 PM

Crap! This is what I get for not being hep with the kids today. Would you like a substitute?

A wale? What an odd thing to call someone. Did you mean the corduroy ridge or the nautical plank? - Salieri2

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at February 17, 2012 12:15 PM

I had to hide my shame of buying Teen Beat from my friends just so I could have pics of Topanga to put in my locker door. This was before the internet. I envy kids these days at times.

Then I hear their music, and that envy dissipates rather quickly.

P.S. She and Tiffany Amber Thiessen are the only celebrities I've "forgiven" for getting a little on the husky side. I'd still love you both forever. Preferably at the same time.

Posted by: Topanga fan at February 17, 2012 12:44 PM

Yay!

Now to aim for No 1.

Posted by: FabMax at February 17, 2012 12:45 PM

For what it's worth, Mrs. Julien, I will never judge you for not having seen that movie. If anything, it's caused your stock to rise.

The rest of you... (shakes head sadly)

Posted by: Ghisent at February 17, 2012 1:10 PM

Jesus, BierceAmbrose, even the bot has mastered HTML. Get with it.

Posted by: Alabaster Salamander at February 17, 2012 1:47 PM

Well, hell, if I had known it was that simple...

“Damn.”

“Shit.”

“That is whack.”

I'll be in my trailer for the rest of the afternoon.

Posted by: Jerry at February 17, 2012 1:50 PM

Thanks, Mrs. Julien. This has been the lone highlight of an otherwise shitty week.

Seriously, if the world doesn't end in 2012 like the Mayans predicted, I might just burn the fucker down myself.

Posted by: superasente at February 17, 2012 1:51 PM

I stopped the van. The remote control was in my hand.

Posted by: fracas at February 17, 2012 2:15 PM

I'm in the middle of my first read ever of Candide right now. Pangloss can take that "best possible world" garbage and stick it.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at February 17, 2012 2:41 PM

Jesus, BierceAmbrose, even the bot has mastered HTML. Get with it.

Hey, get damn kids, get off of my lawn & etc.

Also, the interwebs - still suspect it's just a fad.

Posted by: BierceAmbrose at February 17, 2012 2:46 PM

What the hell is coming out my fingertips lately? Jeebus, have I got wires loose?

Off to the shop for some diagnostics before the system goes completely Westworld.

Posted by: BierceAmbrose at February 17, 2012 2:55 PM

im pretty sure ive seen topanga in some soft core porn

Posted by: alan at February 17, 2012 3:43 PM

Noses are also perfectly designed for stopping fights after one punch.

Posted by: The Mutt at February 17, 2012 3:59 PM

Pissant, what about syphilis? You can lose your nose to it.

Posted by: The Wanderer at February 17, 2012 6:50 PM

@ Fracas - Dr. Horrible FTW!

Posted by: jmd at February 17, 2012 7:22 PM

Topanga basically worried women for me. Throughout the show she went from pixie-dream girl/flower child to nerdy and cute to nerdy and hot to hot and snarky and just smart. I've grown up using her as a model for what a (mostly) good girlfriend should be. No one lives up. Although, to be fair, I always wanted my teachers to live up to Mr. Feeney's example and that never happened either. I'm not sure which disappoints me more.

Posted by: AngelArm45 at February 18, 2012 12:10 AM

On a sidenote: I thought the creators of "Boy Meets World" could have done more with the Lauren character (from the ski trip) when Cory and Topanga broke up. She was super cute.

Posted by: @Chrispeare at February 18, 2012 1:42 AM

Sweet. My first appearance in a comment highlight list. Feels good.
