Pajiba Love

We are having server issues again — I apologize. We should be up and running on a new server in the next week or two, and these issues should be a thing of the past.

Lolcat pidgin: Catch the Fever … wait. What the hell is lolcat pidgin? (Slowly Going Bald)

It’s starting to make a little more sense now. (Lol President)

Gawker has a new blog, Jezebel. This one is geared toward women — I glanced at it, saw a Paris Hilton, a Victoria Beckham, and a Jessica Alba post. I think I’ll stick with Feministing. (Jezebel)

Yeeeeee-Haw! (IDLYITW)

Kurt Cobain wears Doc Martens. In heaven. (Agent Bedhead)

I’m glad he missed, but I hope that Orangina bottle was empty — you hate to see Christian rockers waste a good beverage. (Evil Beet)

Well, until Fanboys finally does arrive in theaters, you’ll have to make do with this, Star Wars geeks. (Popoholic)

Has anyone ever seen, “Eye for an Eye”? Well, don’t. (QuizLaw)

Did you know that $89,000 is spent every day on Internet Porn? Or that 70 percent of Internet porn is viewed during the 9-5 workday. It’s true. (YouTube — Slightly NSFW)

After the jump: Gene Shalit and Joel Seigel have nothing (nothing) on this guy, my new pun *hero*.

Oh... that Eye For An Eye... I thought you meant the early 80's Chuck Norris movie where he plays a high-kickin' Kung-Fu Dirty Harry type who goes after Christopher Lee.

THAT one I have seen.

I read Carlson's post, and the other link, and even wikipedia'd "lolcat" and I still only barely understand what the fuck is going on.

*sigh* I'm helpless against cute kitties. I had to put the Random Kitten Generator in my favorites...

Oh, and... not to comment-whore, and not to sound like a creep, but who the fuck is paying for internet porn? At work, no less?

An Eye for an Eye--day-um, that's nasty.

On the other hand, I've lost count of the times I've heard Mr. Ranylt say he wishes it were legal to take a hammer to cars that cross through his right of way as a pedestrian or cram him as a cyclist; to aim a firehose on the perforated Harleys that idle outside our home; to fill our noisy neighbour's apartment with cement.

Thank God we live in a country where the law controls that wee, inevitable limbic part of our brain.

No, TK, I'm comment-whoring. It's what I do.

re. lolcats--admit it, though: that "monorail cat" was a thigh-slapper.

Wow, I can't believe Eye for an Eye is still on. I saw an episode about eight months ago when I was home during the day for some reason. The only reason I watched was to convince myself that I was in fact crazy and not really witnessing that show. Sadly, I was wrong. I believe Judge Akim's ruling was to have one woman take a baseball bat to another woman's car. I've had my moments like Mr. Ranylt when I've wished for a paintball gun to mark the car of a person who cut me off, drove too slow on a one-lane road, or rode my tailpipe because I was only going 15 mph over the limit...but I'm sure I would get my revenge back in spades and then be even more pissed off. I guess that's why we have a court system and not a vendetta system.

"I read Carlson's post, and the other link, and even wikipedia'd "lolcat" and I still only barely understand what the fuck is going on."

I Wiki'd it too, and I just appreciated the use of the word "portmanteau".

"Oh, and... not to comment-whore, and not to sound like a creep, but who the fuck is paying for internet porn? At work, no less?"

My guess is people who apparently have little to no work to do on their great firewall-less computers, who have their own offices stocked with lots of Kleenex, spare socks, a squeegee for their computer screen, and stain-resistant pants. Just a guess. (Oh, and if there are women who do this during the workday, their offices also need to be stocked with "erotic literature" and mood music, since we women need a "story" to get excited).

I haven't read it yet (I will), but I wanted to make sure to say how very, very much I hate both Joel Siegel and Gene Shalit. I'm not sure who I hate more.

Why couldn't one of them have died of brain cancer or whatever instead of Gene Siskel? He was a pretty good reviewer. They suck ass.

That is all.

Love the lolcats, always have.

I found this informative, if slightly pedantic report on slate helpful in understanding the lolcat phenomenon. Appreciate the lolrus.

Cats have always been the tools of evil. It those damn Evil Puppies you have to look out for. Conan says so.

em, I thought you wimmins got off on good-lookin' fellers doing housework.*

None of those Internet porn facts surprised me. Well, maybe the ones TK commented on (really, who does either of those anymore?). I started chanting "USA" at the "89% of porn websites" factoid.

It is what you get from a society that is built on sexual teasing. Sex sells, sure, but the vague hint at possible sex is what modern advertising is all about. No one is allowed to show sex in the mainstream, but they can get damn close, leaving a bunch of sexually frustrated people who now have a new friend: the internet. Leave it to the US to have the utter hypocrisy of having celebs slut it up in everything from television to movies to music, while simultaneously treating actual porn like it is the bottom of the barrel. At least with porn, you get what you see, instead of vacant platitudes like most other media.

*Total joke, for those who never saw the "Porn for Women" link.

Totally thought this was the Chuck Norris movie; required viewing for those who haven't seen it. You can't vomit Chuck Norris/Charles Bronson pop culture until you've borne witness.

Ranylt, I am on record with the local D.A. (totally different story) that I should be able to have a 50-mm machine gun mounted on my car for double-parkers AND that if pedestrians are in the crosswalk on solid "don't walk," then that means "fucking don't walk unless you can do it with my car on top of you." I think Mr. Ranylt and I can work out a treaty for this sort of thing, with a signing on a battleship under a big "Mission Accomplished" banner with full Court TV coverage.

Puh-jeeeeee'-buh!!!

"*Total joke, for those who never saw the "Porn for Women" link."

Ohhhh, that's right--OK, so, it'll take erotic literature, mood music, AND a picture of Aaron Eckhardt in an apron holding a feather duster to get us wimmins in the move. Thanks for the reminder :) and I must go pick up my copy of that book.

And--"At least with porn, you get what you see, instead of vacant platitudes like most other media."--Amen to that.

And there's no way it's only $89k daily. That's my personal budget.

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at May 23, 2007 10:34 PM

Gaaah! I want to join in the snark and joke about the wimmin folk etc. but all I can think of is the various factors that skew the porn statistics and how they aren't really surprising if you factor in night shift workers and the unemployed and then my brain skipped onto the social demographics most likely to be viewing internet porn and started factoring in teenages boys whose school days finish early giving them a window of time between 3:00 and 5:30 when they have the house to themselves and are thus more likely to indulge. And then I wanted to know where the numbers actually came from. And then I realised that researching statistics related to internet porn whist at work was likely to get me fired. And then I wondered if I would then contribute to the statistic.

And now I have a headache.

Amen, part two. I can't tell you how many times I've heard friends comment, on walking past the local Hooters, "Christ, just be honest with yourself and go to a peeler pub."

I am not about to tempt Mr. Ranylt, socalled--he is so close to the tipping-point that I've had to seal shut the windows and balcony doors and wrench the carton of eggs from his hands...
