P. Love and The Special Sauce

By Joanna Robinson | Posted Under Pajiba Love | Comments (55)

dawsons-ugly-cry.jpeg

First I want to thank you all for the warm welcome. You’ve filled up the little holes in my heart with your love spackle. I’m fairly certain I needed those holes to keep my blood circulating, but, whatever, you guys are worth it.

David Tennant is officially off ze market lads and lasses. Allons-sob! The fetching young blondie he’s engaged to played his “daughter” in an episode and I will never not find that creepy. I’m looking at you, the now defunct marriage of Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter. (The Sun)

Last week, Slappysquirrel confessed to mispronouncing the word “memes” as “maymays” That is how my brain chooses to pronounce it now. Here’s my first maymay of 2011 as provided by Pinky McLadybits. (James Van Der Memes)

So, you read the Fug Girls, right? They never fail to make me laugh whether they are slyly referencing Anne of Green Gables (which I know a lot, a lot about) or shoehorning in their 50th joke about Dynasty (which I know a nothing, a nothing about). (Go Fug Yourself)

Are we cozy? Suffused with a sense of well-being and love spackle? Good, cause this site would like you to slowly go mad as you frantically try to remember eveything you’ve ever typed into the googles. Is this how internetting works, you nerds? It looked scientific to me and they used funny pictures, so I bought it, hook, line and horror. (Don’t Track Us)

So the GOOP lady has announced that she is going to be performing with Cee-Lo Green during her upcoming stint as SNL host. I really don’t like the GOOP, or her GOOP face, or her GOOP thoughts but she does decent musical sketch work. Remember Gemini’s Twin from the 90’s? No? How about Shazzaz from last night on Jimmy Fallon?

Hmmm, while I applaud your findings, NASA, I’m going to say you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to find fault with Roland Emmerich. (Metro)

This gets me all hot and bothered. And now you know more about me. (History of the Alphabet)

Disney announced that they will be rereleasing several of their classic films in 3-D. This gets me hot and bothered (in the angry and stabby sense). Thankfully, Nintendo is now issuing a warning with their games about the ways in which 3-D can damage young eyeholes. I’m hoping this will trend towards 3-D getting banned altogether because it’s just a horrid money grab from the studios and it makes me feel nauseous. Mostly because of the nauseous thing.

I admit, I’m a total sucker for film mash-ups and creative trailer re-cuts. I just think the people who pull it off well are absolute geniuses. So, L’chiam to them. Here are some cossacks getting served.


Joanna Robinson, your link wench, would like to start a band called either “Love Spackle” or “Thankfully, Nintendo.” Please submit a video of you laying down some hot licks or hitting that tasty, tasty hi-hat to godtopuswept@gmail.com. Cheers!

1st. BAN ME, I DARE YOU!!

That is weird. so is the age difference as well. 26 and 39?! that's a decade and a third. I don't even go after women that old. my limit is 4 years difference.

Posted by: Lordninja at January 4, 2011 1:09 PM

Poor Cee-Lo. What did he do to deserve this fate?

...Okay, if I'm being honest, I really only care that he's going to be on SNL. Because, seriously, OMG I LOVE CEE-LO GREEN!

Posted by: ChristianH at January 4, 2011 1:16 PM

The history of the Latin alphabet gets you het up? Damn, I have a 30 year-old encyclopedia set with a similar table that's in transparencies so you can cover and uncover various stroke variations as they evolve.

I'll be waiting for you.

Want more internet horror?

Using a search engine that doesnt send info to other sites isn't going to help you much. Many of those advertising companies that the article mentioned also have software that works like a tracking cookie, except never installs on your computer (I forget what its called. Starts with a B).

It's coded into the website. So as long as you're on that website, it's telling that websites servers (and thus the advertising agency) what you're surfing for, searching for and heaven forbid you ever copy and paste a link... and since it doesnt install on your computer, there is no way around it. Malware and virus protection cant stop it. You're pretty much fuckt.

In happier news, Thankfully, Nintendo is probably the best idea for a band name in the history of band names.

Posted by: Lennon at January 4, 2011 1:18 PM

Poor Cee-Lo. What did he do to deserve this fate?

He became a popular musician with dollar signs in his eyes. There are worst fates than sharing a stage with GOOP for so many monies.

Posted by: Robert at January 4, 2011 1:26 PM

Oh, those insidious advertising agencies, with the tracking of websites and all.

You know what they do with that information? Make decisions about what keywords to buy and what sites to advertise on.

You're just a faceless data point, folks.

Posted by: Wednesday at January 4, 2011 1:26 PM

Fuckers are buying all the best keywords. I'M NOT MADE OF MONIES!!

Oh, and...

Oh David. Not only is it creepy that you dig your "Daughter" (although I gotta say...dang!), that photo does nothing to exculpate (word of the day - dictionary.com) the creepiness.

Posted by: Odnon. at January 4, 2011 1:32 PM

Also, it's time to start the maymay meme!
Which, if you say 10 times fast, serves as a great vocal warmup.

Posted by: Odnon. at January 4, 2011 1:33 PM

I'ma totally start saying it as "MeiMei" so I have a cool "Firefly" tie-in.

Posted by: Rykker at January 4, 2011 1:39 PM

I will never tire of the hilarity that is Dawson's cry face.

Posted by: elizabeth at January 4, 2011 1:40 PM

I'd like to warn against using The Sun as a news source too often.

It's a tabloid owned by Rupert Murdoch, that generally skips the actual news for 50% gossip and 50% outright bullshit.

It's our equivalent of Fox News.

Posted by: Simon at January 4, 2011 1:40 PM

with your love spackle.

Love spackle.

... no, somebody else go ahead. I'm tired today.

Posted by: twig at January 4, 2011 1:43 PM

In that case, I'm gonna do repeated lijit searches for "Timothy Olyphant" just in case it means I get to se his pretty face on here more...

Posted by: seed at January 4, 2011 1:43 PM

"... NASA experts also criticized Armageddon, The 6th Day, Volcano and Chain Reaction for their inaccurate scientific content."

LIES. Volcano is totally based on truthities. It could happen at ANY TIME. NASA is doing such a disservice to the people who are sitting on a ticking time bomb of lavaey death. Won't they be sorry, when their skeptical administrative types ignore the evidence before their eyes, reluctant to evacuate the town because it's recently been named one of the best towns in the country, and saying that a possible live volcano might asplode at any moment would diminish their opportunities for good PR and, possibly, a new community center. Won't they rue the day that grandma has to jump in the sulfuric acid lake to save THEIR "I just got into a metal boat in an acid lake" asses and then inexplicably walk their boat that's only 4 feet from the dock until her legs melt which will also inexplicably kill her in minutes. Won't they be sorry when Roofie the dog has to jump from a bed of molten lava to safety and then their lead volcanologist gets stuck in a mine and ....

What?

Oh, that's Dante's Peak? Oh right, right. Which one was Volcano again? Oh, the one where the volcano brings racial equality to Los Angeles? Oh yeah, that movie was total horseshit.

Posted by: Lindsay at January 4, 2011 1:47 PM

Come on, did ANYONE know how to pronounce "memes"? I'm pretty sure I thought it was "meh-mehs" too which is why I never said the word out loud and just referred to it as "funny shit". What the hell does "memes" mean anyway?

Posted by: TylerDFC at January 4, 2011 1:47 PM

So is it "meme" like "meh" or "meme" like "weeee?"

Posted by: superasente at January 4, 2011 1:48 PM

NASA is doing such a disservice to the people who are sitting on a ticking time bomb of lavaey death.

They're sitting on magma-ey death. It's still magma when it's underground. It isn't lava until it's above ground. Just sayin'.

Posted by: superasente at January 4, 2011 1:50 PM

Meme is properly pronounce "mean" with an "m" at the end. Like "Meme Girls." Maymays is clearly superior in every way.

Posted by: coveredinbees at January 4, 2011 1:52 PM

Joanna, I would just like to say that I like the cut of your Pajiba Love Jib.

(If you would like to designate "Love Jib" as the record title for Thankfully, Nintendo's sophomore effort, that would be okay with me.)

Maymay New Year, Everyone.

Posted by: bostonadrianne at January 4, 2011 1:57 PM

"Meme" rhymes with "team", and it's not even a made-up internet word.

Also, if, like me, you don't want to get off your front porch rocking chairs, look at www.knowyourmeme.com

Posted by: branded at January 4, 2011 2:01 PM

I could have sworn the good Doctor was engaged to the cute girl in the fireplace IRL :(

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 4, 2011 2:07 PM

"They're sitting on magma-ey death. It's still magma when it's underground. It isn't lava until it's above ground. Just sayin'."

Well, when they died from it, it'd be lava. Also, it can happen.

Posted by: Lindsay at January 4, 2011 2:12 PM

If you're using your fan's love spackle to fill up the holes in your heart, you're doing it wrong.

Posted by: Inara's Training Partner at January 4, 2011 2:12 PM

Tennant can't be married to The Girl in the Fireplace, Slim, because she's MINE! Dave and I had some words about it, and he's cool. Heartbroken, but cool.

Posted by: Odnon. at January 4, 2011 2:30 PM

I remember when I first learned that "meme" was really pronounced "meem", or as coveredinbees eloquently put it, "like mean, but with an 'm' at the end".

I was baffled and surprised at first, but eventually I came to accept it. Now, I only hear "meem" as I read it. However, meh-meh is an adorable word in its own right.

Posted by: MM at January 4, 2011 2:34 PM

Tennant split up with the Girl in the Fireplace around the time she did that awful "Moonlight" vampire show on CBS (and who could blame him)? Not only did Tennant's pretty girl play his daughter, she's the real-life daughter of a previous Doctor. I actually find that part weirder.

Posted by: Kazza at January 4, 2011 2:37 PM

It's pretty common in England for men in their 30's to marry young women in their 20's. It's like the men have to wait until they've "made it" financially before they tie the knot. And the women want a man who can afford to keep them in the lifestyle they would like to become accustomed to. Plus, I think Peter Davison has a shotgun.

I hope this marriage doesn't go the way of Tom Baker and Lalla Ward.

Posted by: BWeaves at January 4, 2011 2:39 PM

+1 intarwebs for the G. Love reference. I still quote their first album every chance I get.

Posted by: Elmo Tee at January 4, 2011 2:40 PM

Forreals, "meme" pronounced like it rhymes with "team"? I always pronounced it like "mehm", because I thought it was taken from the French word for "same".
Coincidentally, I was just mocked by my coworkers for my pronunciation of the word "subsequently", because I put the emphasis on the 2nd syllable instead of the 1st. I just be mispronunciatin' all over the place, yessiree.

Posted by: Jessie at January 4, 2011 2:50 PM

I thought it was exactly how it looked "me-me"

Posted by: Kargoyle at January 4, 2011 2:55 PM

It's pretty common in England for men in their 30's to marry young women in their 20's.

I beg to differ BWeaves, but no it's not.

More like, it's pretty common in showbiz for men in their 30's to marry young women in their 20's.

Posted by: Simon at January 4, 2011 2:56 PM

Slim, because she's MINE! Dave and I had some words about it, and he's cool. Heartbroken, but cool.
Posted by: Odnon. at January 4, 2011 2:30 PM

--------------------------------------------

Hahahaha I find it hilarious that, you say she's your girl 'cause she hasn't told me. In fact I don't think she's ever mentioned you when we get together...

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 4, 2011 3:26 PM

Hi Simon: OK, back when I was young, in the middle of the last century, it was common for older men to marry younger women in England. I lived there and I remember it happening quite often. I don't mean that everyone did it, but it was a hold over from older times. I just finished reading The Six Wives of Henry VIII, and I was rather creeped out how many times a man in his 60's was married off to a 13 year old, but I digest (sic). Yes, I'm sure it's different now. The 21st century changes everything.

Anyway, 13 years is not that much of a difference. My hubby is 9 years older than me and I think of us as being the same age, well, mentally, anyway. It's not like Tennant is twice her age.

Posted by: BWeaves at January 4, 2011 3:52 PM

Does the 3D bashing ever stop around here, ya pukes?

But really--age, schmage. The height difference!

Posted by: Jay at January 4, 2011 4:28 PM

I'm exploding all over with love for that video.

Posted by: Sara Tonin at January 4, 2011 4:31 PM

Okay, I'll be the judgmental one and point out that given that she's 26 and already has an eight-year old son, Tennant can hardly be accused of deflowering her before her time. In fact, an older presence in that kid's life might be just what he needs.

Now, I'm off to stone a woman for adultery. Who is with me?

Posted by: PaddyDog at January 4, 2011 4:38 PM

My childhood blankie was called Meme. Pronounced "Me-Me". Guess I was a narcissistic toddler.

Also, that actress who played the Doctor's daughter is actually . . . a doctor's daughter (Peter Davison). So she's got a Doctor for a father, she played a doctor (sort of) on TV, and now she's DATING one?! MADNESS!

Posted by: Lauren at January 4, 2011 4:44 PM

Eh. Potato, potatoh, I say. It's not that I necessarily chose to say it that way, it's just how my damn brain decided to send it, nicely wrapped and packaged and all, to the receptors in me brain that have to do with sound...and stuff (see how I tried to sound all edumacated there?).

For the record, even after learning the correct pronounciation my brain scoffs at the idea of "meems".

I guess it's because I DID always depend on the kindness of strangers and such.

Also, that header pic up top will never cease to be disturbingly hilarious. And I hate seeing grown men cry.

Also, a pox on anyone who dares throw stones at Cee-Lo and his appearing with the GOOP. He will have my undying love for his years in Goodie Mob, for the song "F*ck You" and for making the big boy with big style, pimpin' and swervin' wardrobe!

So there.

Posted by: Slappysquirrel at January 4, 2011 4:48 PM

I hope this marriage doesn't go the way of Tom Baker and Lalla Ward.

Posted by: BWeaves at January 4, 2011 2:39 PM

Lalla Ward later married Richard Dawkins who invented the word "meme".

I think, if we're diligent, we could find a Doctor Who connection for every story in this article. But only if we're so bored that we need to find SOMETHIG, ANYTHING to do. I'm not that bored.

Posted by: Ballymena Bob at January 4, 2011 5:23 PM

Also, "meme" is derived from the word "gene" which explains the pronunciation.

Posted by: Ballymena Bob at January 4, 2011 5:29 PM

Are you really from Ballymena? And if so, when is that last time you saw some clean water?

Posted by: PaddyDog at January 4, 2011 5:52 PM

Hi BWeaves. I'm loathed to admit this, but I'm no spring chicken myself. (I've been here over 40 years now!) In all that time, I have honestly not seen that much cradle-snatching in the regular population.

Still, at the end of the day, I guess that we're both just reporting on anecdotal evidence, as I don't think the Census reports this sort of thing.
I'll write to my MP and ask him why not...

Posted by: Simon at January 4, 2011 5:57 PM

Are you really from Ballymena? And if so, when is that last time you saw some clean water?

Posted by: PaddyDog at January 4, 2011 5:52 PM

Ha. Yes, I am.

There's been no problem at all with my water supply, thanks for asking. I'm in the BT43 postcode and it's the folks in BT44 who've had the problems around here, apparently.

I took precautions though, just in case. I have nearly 30 litres of water stored in pots, pans, milk cartons and Shloer bottles left over after Christmas. I haven't needed to use a drop of it but I just can't bring myself to throw it all down the drain. It's going to take me weeks to drink that much.

Posted by: Ballymena Bob at January 4, 2011 6:30 PM

Simon:
I thought all young girls in the UK, just wanted to be WAG:s?

Isn´t it ironic...no wait, just remembered I can´t use that word properly...and now is not the time for Alanis either.
But I do blame Canada, don´t know why, but I do.

That was not coherent?
Go fug yourself, my next beer is my only friend anyway

Posted by: UncleKaiser at January 4, 2011 7:24 PM

Well, half plus seven for a forty year old is 27, so I'm going with Tennant at 39 has an acceptable age difference with his fiance. I'm just disappointed he's into generic young blondes (which I assume she is from what little I've seen, her performance in that episode did not impress me at all).

Posted by: Three-nineteen at January 4, 2011 10:29 PM

I never saw the appeal of 3D movies. Just because a finger pokes out of the screen does not mean the movie is any better.

Posted by: Maggi at January 4, 2011 11:08 PM

Richard Dawkins really did invent the word "meme" in 1974. Thank you pajiba for teaching me something today.

Posted by: schrome at January 5, 2011 12:06 AM

UncleKaiser - well, like every country we have our share of dumb young people who think they will walk out of school and instantly become famous and rich. The 'WAG' acronym might be uniquie to the UK, but the 'snag a sports star' approach is definitely not.

It really doesn't help the the most famous WAG at the moment is Cheryl Tweedy/Cole/the racist one from Girls Aloud - who gets to dominate the media by way of bonking working with Simon Cowell. Every Saturday night, she sits on his right hand*, trying to judge the talent of others, despite being not much more than a karaoke act herself..

Posted by: Uriah Creep at January 5, 2011 5:48 AM

Three-nineteen, not only is he into generic young blondes, he also seems to have a habit of dating co-stars a lot.

And I honestly have no idea what all this talk of sour grapes has to do with anything.

Posted by: Kateshi Rinkichiku at January 5, 2011 6:30 AM

"It's pretty common in England for men in their 30's to marry young women in their 20's."

Hah, yes, and we all wear tweed and live in castles. Also, we are totally culturally isolated from the rest of the world.

I think you meant to say "Thank you, Ballymena Bob".

And you're welcome.

I have to write an informative essay about something interesting! I'm thinking deja vu or something weird like that. Any ideas?
