Pajiba Love

HOLY CRAP!!!!! Did you guys hear what happened last night?! I know, right? Obama took Iowa! (NY Times)

Corey Feldman has lamed his way into the Lost Boys “sequel” after all. Really, they couldn’t have even given Haim just a couple of lines? (Agent Bedhead)

Vivica A. Fox really likes sausage. I mean really, really likes it. Why yes, that is a euphemism for a part of the male anatomy! (WIMB)

Never have I so much wanted to hear the recording of a tape since that time I watched Grizzly Man. Oh, fuck you! Like you didn’t try googling it yourself. (QuizLaw)

Maybe Dane Cook should consider a career in Guantanamo interrogations. (USA Today)

OK, I think I’ve got this down — Hipsters hate everything, but not everyone who hates everything is a hipster. Right? (Gospel According to Prisco)

Drunk drawing “Project Runway.” Go. (Pretty on the Outside)

Fergie and Josh Duhamel act like a couple of fucking hippies. (IDLYITW)

Stories behind bizarre sports mascots, including the big green nutsack known as the Phillie Phanatic — who I actually met when I was a kid. And yes to answer your question, the tongue is terrifying. (mental floss)

Let’s take a fond look back at Iowa ‘04, shall we? Because I will never get tired of this. Not ever. After the jump.

I haven't yet decided who I'm going to support in this year's elections (don't worry, TK, I'm SO voting), but Obama sure made a case for himself with his post-caucus speech. If you get a chance, find it & watch.

Obama doesn't surprise me but the fact that an army of corn-fed fat assed, mouth breathing Wal-Marters can get someone like Huckabee elected makes me weep for the future.

And there is no greater mascot than Albert E. Gator.

BSlim - maybe Huckabee can do splits across the entire dancefloor.

Hee! My sister and I were watching a bit of the caucuspalooza and we were playing "Name That Iowan Celebrity". We found an inbred Kenny Rogers, someone who looked like Billy Bob Thornton's character in "Sling Blade", and Mrs. Doubtfire. Exciting! Or, should I say, "YYYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

It's really strange to see how long elections take in the States. In Canada, an election is called at any point during the five-year term, and then BANG, it's done. The vote happens five weeks after the election is called. This means you can end up elections occuring pretty close together though, which is a hassle for voters who haven't gotten a real feel for the P.M.

Case in point: A few years ago, Paul Martin was in office for a year and a half before he was ousted in a non-confidence vote. Granted, nobody missed him, but still.

Obama: Yay! I guess!

Congrats to Dane Cook. Too bad that out of 7 hours of 'comedy', only 30 seconds was remotely funny.

That Prisco link was quite entertaining. If I ever show signs of hipsterness, please cave my skull in. BSlim is exempt (nay, forbidden) from this task, as he may interpret an errant sneeze as sufficient evidence.

Hmmmmmm, that sound suspiciously like hipster talk...*stare hardens*

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 4, 2008 4:15 PM

God, I am praying Obama can make it in NH and the rest of the country....I don't even want to see what would happen should some of the others get elected. Screw experience....we've had experience before and it got us exactly shit.

And please tell me you found the grizzly recording somewhere.....!!!!

Pajiba- a lazy request for a change in the new year: How about making the links on Pajiba Love open new windows when you click on them? Or does it increase your hit count when people have to hit the back button to get back to Pajiba after going to each link? You money-grubbin bastards you.

Posted by: SR at January 4, 2008 5:14 PM

We were just talking about that part of Grizzly Man this past weekend. Werner Herzog is such a tease. Everybody desperately wants to hear that tape because of the way he handled it, and yes, I'm with largirl, if anyone has a link, please post it.

Meanwhile, did anyone see that asshole Chuck Norris complete with populist flannel shirt accessory behind Huckabee last night? I howled at how at least 3 times, someone came up and whispered to him and then he switched positions on the dais. It was as if they were dying to show case him, coz you know, Chuck Norris, that's how the electorate should for sure be making their decisions about how the country should be run.

I love it when people assume Iowa resides somewhere in between Mississippi and Louisiana. Sorry your buddy Ron Paul wasn't viable in Iowa.

Posted by: Dave at January 4, 2008 7:32 PM

Oh, my God - I have ZERO desire to hear the Grizzly Man tape! The thought of its existence terrifies me.

SR -- I don't think we're going to change the links, but I'll let you in on a little secret: if you hold down command (or, ctrl I think for PC'ers) while you click on a link, it opens a new window. Viola!

And I searched the internet far and wide for a clip of that damn mauling, with no luck whatsoever. I think when they said they destroyed it, they really meant it. Dickteases.

I know exactly where it is geographically bubba, not that it matters, since choosing Huckabee places it RIGHT in the middle of Mississippi.


As for your little assumption, well, you know what they say about those.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 4, 2008 7:42 PM

God I hate Dane Cook, and anywhere else I go people would kill me for saying that.

Also: There seem to be more double posts today than usual. What's up with that? Only click that shit once people.

A quote from that Hipster article:

"...Watch MTV. Teenagers can actually be eloquent and well-spoken and intelligent. But for the most part, they tend to pepper everything with either profanity or um/like/whatever. ..."

Is this MTV? Road Rules/Sweet 16/Real World MTV? Where Ashton Kuchter worked MTV?

Teenagers are idiots.

I don't think I can trust anything this person has to say, about anything. He's obviously, an imbecile.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 4, 2008 8:27 PM

Oh, BSlim, that's just the grammar fairy fucking up my business. What I meant to say was teenagers actually have the capacity to be intellegent and well-spoken on occasion. But if you watch MTV, they tend to sound like morons.

Look at Pajiba. We've apparently got a veritable assload of incredibly savvy youts speaking up for themselves (Emily for one). And then on most of the other sites, you've got adults talking like Larry the Cable Guy falling out of the jerkass tree and whacking every godloving branch on the way down.

But then again, you're the expert on Super Sweet 16. So you tells me.

Posted by: insertclevernamehere at January 4, 2008 9:18 PM

Oh, so that's your blog?

Awwwwk...ward.

Upon reflection, my post should read: most, if not all, teenagers on MTV are idiots.

And maybe you're not an imbecile....maybe.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at January 4, 2008 9:32 PM

"Oh, so that's your blog?

Awwwwk...ward."

Ha! Hilarity ensues.

The greatest tragedy will be when the headline read "Dave Chapelle Dead After Marathon Two Week Long Stand Up Gig".

I don't think anyone takes the republican Iowa caucus too seriously, they tend to be off the mark when they vote in terms of the rest of the country's republicans, at least from what I can remember. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think either of the Bushes won the caucus when they were running. Maybe they were on to something?

So Dane Cook told every single joke he's ever stolen? Awesome.
And all I heard about this morning was Britney fucking Spears.

insertclevernamehere - I never pictured you the hipster type, but by the way you describe your look you definitely have some of the hipster uniform thing going on. I live in Portland, one of the current hipster meccas, and I agree with your assessment. The only thing I would argue with is the educated part. Most of the ones I encounter are definitely uneducated, which is why they work all the shit jobs. Maybe it's a difference in our locations and demographics. I remember the time when hipsters weren't ubiquitous, and it was wonderful. Then they came and ruined all the good bars.

Posted by: katy at January 4, 2008 11:14 PM

OK, insertclevernamehere, I must apologize. I've been reading your blog, you've been reading mine, and I JUST NOW made the connection between your blog and your pajiba persona. I'm a moron.

And thanks, Kolby. I'm glad someone remembers how much non-voters get my eyelids twitching.

Posted by: TK at January 4, 2008 11:35 PM

I gotta say F.U. for posting the Dean video as some kind of relevant, funny, or odd oddity. The Drudge Report thanks you too. Just don't post any videos of CEOs doing the same thing...then it's ok.

"I know exactly where it is geographically bubba, not that it matters, since choosing Huckabee places it RIGHT in the middle of Mississippi.

So who else would you have recommended from the GOP cesspool? Romney? Guliani? McCain? Thompson? In my opinion, lambasting the republicans of a state for choosing any of their party's own candidates is like shooting fish in a barrel anyways.

And I only assumed you were for Ron Paul as much as you assumed that Iowa is a giant trailer park.

For those of us already awake.

What's this story about Kate & Tiny Tom's daughter actually being conceived by L. Ron's frozen swimmers?

It's the best insane gossip I have heard since... well ever.
