Litely Salted’s Pajiba Love

Belated April Fool’s from Napalm Vagina! (Yeeeah!)

I thought of this Mariah Carey “number two” joke during my morning constitutional. Coincidence or inspiration? (WIMB)

John Adams is a “genuinely cinematic experience on the small screen.” (wweek)

Libertarian Mike Gravel is adding some panache to this crazy YouTube Presidential election of ours. Finally. (QuizLaw)

Here’s a good idea of something you can do in office meetings other than the usual mentally willing for your boss’s head to explode. Or am I alone on that one? (SlowlyGoingBald)

I don’t think people realize the extent of what a delightful sport hunting is. For the record, I got as far as “Lay the harvested deer on its side” before I bailed. (Comedy Central Insider)

Okay, this is really weird but I can’t stop staring at the Hulk’s boob. It looks like a little brown mole poking its nose out of the ground and wincing at the sunlight. (Celebslam)

Will Arnett is interviewed in Radar magazine; makes fun of Radar magazine and blind people. (Radar)

When you compress Wicker Man, it’s really just a whole lot of Nicolas Cage beating up women and scaring children. And then there’s the bees, so… yay! (Popoholic)

After the jump, a guy who is like, the best dad ever, wrote this song for his daughter who was having a hard time at work. I hope listening to it makes you as indescribably happy as it made me.

I want to have Will Arnetts' sexy-voiced babies. Someone kill Amy Poehler for me!

Ya know, the Butt-out video isn't as bad as I thought it would be, and I'm a vegetarian.

I wonder if you could use the Butt-out to remove the Hulk's nipple? It looks like it could work.

Posted by: BWeaves at April 3, 2008 3:48 PM

Can't watch now, but is that the Nicolas Cage punches women and, if I remember correctly, someone in an animal costume montage? Because that was some of the best unintentional slapstick I'd ever seen.

Posted by: Jay at April 3, 2008 3:52 PM

"I'm about to whip somebody's ass."
Coolest dad song ever.

Posted by: BWeaves at April 3, 2008 3:54 PM

Julie, Julie, no no no. It's like that episode of Seinfeld. We simply have to get them divorced! You're not taking Amy away from me, but Will can't have her either.

Posted by: Jay at April 3, 2008 3:54 PM

I'm about whip somebody's ass... that's officially my new theme song. I love it!!

Posted by: curegirl0421 at April 3, 2008 4:02 PM

Yes, it is. It is, and it's beautiful.

The Song by Ray was featured by ZeFrank in The Show a few years ago. The sports racers of the show came up with some amazing remixes of Ray's song--and here they are, for all pajibans!

twig: thank you for the Eddie link. The productivity level during my final 40 minutes on the job just flew right out the frickin' window.

Posted by: curegirl0421 at April 3, 2008 4:17 PM

That song says it all. I've been humming it for the past five minutes. I'm hoping it'll catch on.

Posted by: Kolby at April 3, 2008 4:18 PM

Ewww...Will Arnett did that icky Lamisil commerical where the animated fungus lifts up the toenail and dives in. That's on my top list of commericals that make me gag.

Posted by: Stacy at April 3, 2008 4:21 PM

feramones,

Someone linked to it back in an old thread that diverted into 'The Day After Tomorrow' discussion. I've sort of started collecting bee memes after the same four kept popping up on this discussion board - I think there's one in 'Tommy Boy' I still need to find.

Posted by: twig at April 3, 2008 4:28 PM

It's always good to have a hobby!

I know exactly what scene you're talking about in Tommy Boy (faking a bee attack to get out of a possible DUI, right?) but just checked youtube to no avail.

Posted by: feramones at April 3, 2008 4:33 PM

If a bitch wants to hang with me, she best be knowing what I'm about.

Posted by: Pookie at April 3, 2008 4:35 PM

The fact that the song has the cadence of a Negro spiritual makes it that much more awesome. Ray is a great dad!

Posted by: Daphne at April 3, 2008 4:39 PM

Wha?!? I have been gone for a couple of weeks and couldn't check in and now I can't seem to find a single comment from BSlim. Did I miss some zombie war or some shit where he died, or worse did he get a real job. I always enjoy his offbeat view of things. Anybody heard from him lately?

Posted by: Phat girl at April 3, 2008 5:21 PM

I actually sat through the entirety of Wicker Man once. It really is one of the worst things I've ever seen. How does Nicholas Cage live with himself? Jesus Christ, dude, you were in Wild at Heart! Anyway, the scene with the bees had me doubled over. So thanks for linking to that video, because I just laughed so hard I cried. Nicely chosen final lines.

Posted by: Lannie at April 3, 2008 5:25 PM

Nothing, Phat girl...he's been absent for quite awhile. It may be that he's finally fallen to one of TK's insidious zombie traps. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

A real job? Surely you jest? Does anybody here actually have a real job?

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at April 3, 2008 5:32 PM

[nods solemnly in agreement with Shadows]

B-Slim is zombie food.

Posted by: Julie at April 3, 2008 5:35 PM

Sorry, did I miss something. Twig sent me to Eddie Izzard and I've been clicking on Izzard videos ever since.

Posted by: BWeaves at April 3, 2008 5:43 PM

Damn. Quite a loss.

Fucking zombies.

Posted by: Phat girl at April 3, 2008 5:46 PM

I'm kind of in love with Will Arnett after reading that interview. And if they renamed the magazine Gaydar, I'd get a subscription, just for htat.

Posted by: Slash at April 3, 2008 5:56 PM

Does anybody here actually have a real job?

Not me. I work in accounting.

Posted by: Sarina at April 3, 2008 5:56 PM

Really, do I have to watch a Jon McCain ad under the video the dad made? Seriously, aren't you making enough money off the organic T-shirt people so that you can spare me that garbage??

Posted by: dkb at April 3, 2008 5:57 PM

What have you got against John McCain? He's a fan of "The Hills," which makes him an A-OK dude in my book.

Posted by: Stacey at April 3, 2008 6:39 PM

"B-Slim is zombie food."

Um... what? No comment.

[walks away, hands in pockets, whistling innocently]

Hopefully we've all learned a lesson today.

Posted by: TK at April 3, 2008 7:07 PM

Ray's song is going to come in handy around 10:00 AM tomorrow.

Yes, I do have a real job. That's why I'm always 2-3 hours behind with the commenting - people here keep expecting me to work.

Posted by: Three-nineteen at April 3, 2008 7:22 PM

"He's a fan of "The Hills," which makes him an A-OK dude in my book."

Stace, we need to have words about your standards.

Posted by: TK at April 3, 2008 7:24 PM

At first, John Adams felt like a dull joke for me: Harvey Pekar in a wiglet & tricornered hat, grumbling about the Mozart his daughter was playing in the next room. But the real reason to watch this series is Laura Linney's magnificent take on Abigail Adams. She's always good, Linney, with her classic all-American blonde good looks, even if she does appear here in a big black wig and no make-up. She owns every scene she's in, not with grand gestures but with small, thoughtful ones, like the icky sequence where the doctor is treating her and her kids for chickenpox, or in the most recent episode having unexpectedly hot sex with her husband when she visits him in France. The women who frequent Pajiba should be watching this series for her, and for the equally fine Sarah Polley as her daughter 'Nabby'.

There were a few theories floating around about the fate of BSlim. My favorite was that he and Bianca Reagan fell madly in love and ran off together to make the world safe from misogynists.

Posted by: Alabamapink at April 3, 2008 8:22 PM

TK, don't be a dunderhead. I've never seen so much as a single episode of The Hills. Although I do enjoy making fun of Heidi Montag regardless.

Posted by: Stacey at April 3, 2008 8:35 PM

The presence of Sarah Polley is never a bad thing. I like everything she's done (granted...I've only ever seen Go...but that was a great movie).

"...or in the most recent episode having unexpectedly hot sex with her husband when she visits him in France..."

Sold.

The Hills, Stacey? Tsk, tsk, tsk, you disappoint me...

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at April 3, 2008 8:36 PM

Dakaron, don't be a dunderhead. Stacey would never watch something as silly as The Hills ;)

Posted by: TK at April 3, 2008 8:50 PM

Wooo! Sports Racers represent. Man, that song brings back some memories.

Posted by: the_wakeful at April 3, 2008 9:12 PM

That is one damn fine song. It is good I didn't hear it until I got home. Would have been humming from 3-5 during my way too boring meeting.

Posted by: Brian at April 3, 2008 9:36 PM

Does anybody here actually have a real job?

I do, and they expect me to work more these days, which is why I am entering consecutive comments at 10 in the evening.

(sniff)..Pours a 40 for BSlim

And I thought "Helter Skelter" was a cool song before. Wow! That is how you make a music video.

Posted by: Brian at April 3, 2008 10:04 PM

Oh shit, I hadn't noticed this before. That's Molly Parker not stepping away from the bike!

Dammit, Molly, I thought we had a good introduction in "Kissed", now if you're not gonna live by yourself in my town then be in good things I want to see already! If I invented a woman with Gary and Wyatt's computer she'd look like that and I'd name her "Molly Parker", but then I found she already existed, including the chin (much like Ms. Kirkpatrick that I worked with many years ago). But a few years go by and I never seem to see her anywhere. Cause she's off working on "Men With Brooms" and "The Wicker Man" most of the time.

Hell, I've just gotta watch "Deadwood" already and mitigate some of this.

Posted by: Jay at April 3, 2008 10:09 PM

Oh and who the hell's job was it to let me know about this? Cause you DIDN'T!!!! (I'm also addressing the world in general here)

http://www.eddieizzard.com/stripped/

Phew, that was close.

Posted by: Jay at April 3, 2008 10:35 PM

Oh no! Why isn't he coming to Canada? One measly Toronto stop isn't so much to ask!

Posted by: Lannie at April 3, 2008 11:20 PM

YAY!!! He's coming to Atlanta! I'm finally gonna be able to see Eddie!

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at April 3, 2008 11:30 PM

Mike Gravel? A Libertarian?

Yeah, right. He is so far left wing.

Posted by: Allen at April 3, 2008 11:59 PM

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised there's two shows, but don't wait too long, I could only get the top level on the first night (therefore I can say I was *forced* to buy the cheap seats and not feel too stingy). Kinda funny that it's in Cobb as well.

(Translation for ROW: that's Newt Gingrich's county, you see. You also may have heard of the outcry against public funding going to a play that had gay stuff in it back in 94. They drive like shit over there too. Ptooey!)

Posted by: Jay at April 4, 2008 12:11 AM

Thank you, Jay, for posting that Eddie show link. I just purchased two center row orchestra tickets for the Tuesday night Atlanta Show.

Posted by: feramones at April 4, 2008 1:19 PM

After my shitastic week as a PhD graduate student in which I found out that my funding for next year has been pulled, and the head of my department acted as if he couldn't care less, "I'm Gonna Whip Somebody's Ass" has never been more personally relevant. It does have that same sort of Negro spiritual cadence as "We Shall Overcome," for example, but whipping ass is just so much more satisfying than overcoming, don't you think?

Posted by: little ya at April 4, 2008 3:12 PM

Not to mention that whipping ass involves a much more direct and palpable way of giving it to the man than overcoming. It's official: overcoming is for pussies.
