Pajiba Love

NOOOOOO! She can’t be gone! It’s too soon! *Sob* Here’s to the sassiest damn lady I ever had the pleasure of seeing on my television. (BestWeekEver)

The late night wars are starting to heat up and Jimmy Fallon is already looking like an injured baby wildebeest or the black dude in a crappy horror flick. (WIMB)

If getting imprisoned in a Philly cab is the most horrible thing that happens to you during your stay in Philly — hey, at least you weren’t brutally gunned down! (QuizLaw)

Frances Bean Cobain has already scored herself an internship at Rolling Stone at the tender age of 15. (Celebitchy)

Brendan Fraser is taking liberties with his hair plugs like a fat person does who loses weight, and then goes parading around in clothes three sizes too small anyway. (Agent Bedhead)

Starbucks crappy new “Vivanno Nourishing Blends” line of smoothies isn’t worth waiting in line with a bunch of Starbucks addicts to get one. (The Impulsive Buy)

You know what geeks are sure to love? Flowcharts about geeks! (mental floss)

Uhhhh… I think in order for Brooke Hogan to set the woman’s movement back her opinion would actually have to be valid in the first place. Plus, you know, there’s the whole “woman” part. Zing! (Achilles Heals)

This might actually be the first positive thing to have come from the war in Iraq. (WIMB)

There may or may not be a Madonna-Rodriguez sex tape floating around somewhere out there. The fact that it was completely illegally acquired should have nothing to do with reasons why we don’t want to fucking see it anyway. (Yeeeah!)

Mini-diversion: How many Pajibans have done it in public? (Jezebel)

I wish I had something better to offer you today, but I don’t, so here’s the latest redardical YouTube craze, after the jump.

Haven't done it in public, but the old high school beau and I had a severe lack of privacy both at his place and mine, so we had a bad series of "interruptus" at various inappropriate locations - driveways, playgrounds, etc. Once we were interrupted by another couple from our high school who had come to the playground for the very same reason!

Now, I'm too paranoid for public displays, as it were...

Re: mini-diversion,

I secretly gave my ex-boyfriend a hand job on a Greyhound bus between Boston and New York. I say secretly because every seat was full but I do believe no one noticed. He protested at first, but I was feeling too playful. He got his sweatshirt all sticky. Yucky.

Posted by: David at July 22, 2008 3:44 PM

On a bus,
on a train,
by the window in the rain.

At the lake,
in the woods,
and somtimes on car hoods.

RIP Estelle. You are a true feminist, you tough old betch. Love love love you.

Replace "done it" with "pooped on", and "in public" with "my cousin's driveway", then yes. Yes I have.

Posted by: Skittimus Maximus at July 22, 2008 3:54 PM

Done it on Atlantic and Caribbean beaches (ewww, sandy).

Posted by: Patti at July 22, 2008 3:57 PM

Ha! Boo and Skitt, I can not stop giggling.

If getting imprisoned in a Philly cab is the most horrible thing that happens to you during your stay in Philly -- hey, at least you weren't brutally gunned down!

Hey! ...ok, that's true.

When I was 21/22 I had one of the hottest makeout sessions ever in a pitch black bathroom at a party. We couldn't see a thing, we could only feel. Mmm. We later took it to his car, which was parked on a busy street. As for fucking in public...it would be hot, but I'd likely be too paranoid to really enjoy it. Who knows though, get me a boyfriend and we'll see.

Posted by: Julie at July 22, 2008 4:00 PM

Is it prudish?

Jezebel tries so hard. Last year they were basically saying you're a prude if you don't already have herpes.

And yes, I thank Estelle for being a friend.

Posted by: Jay at July 22, 2008 4:05 PM

Closet
Bathroom
Hallway alcove
Museum stairwell
Corn field (NOTE: not recommended)
Library aisle
Garden maze

Never in a car, a plane, or an elevator, though. Once on a train, but we were in a sleeping car so I don't think it counted as public.

...I'm a dirty little thing, aren't I? Oh, well.

Posted by: Sarina at July 22, 2008 4:12 PM

All of my public displays came from the necessity of being a teenager/college student with a lack of privacy rather than any kind of thrill seeking. Ok, well, one time an an adult, but that was while camping, so I'll still chalk that one to necessity.

Posted by: Stacey at July 22, 2008 4:13 PM

Can't follow the Jezebel link at work, but as per the question, I think it might be more prudent to ask which Pajibans haven't had sex in public. I can't even count the number of times I've gotten publicly randy. And oddly enough, the only times I've ever been caught in amourous acts were times when we thought we had total privacy.

I guarantee you Estelle's gotten it down in public before. All that sass and randiness can't be contained. She will be missed.

Posted by: Bistro at July 22, 2008 4:15 PM

RIP, Estelle, (aka, Sophia). She was one of the best characters on the show.

I LOVE that. It's geeky and hot.

Posted by: Julie at July 22, 2008 4:16 PM

Oh Estelle, I miss you already.

Re: Public displays of affection (ahem).
Back in Ye Olde Drinking Days I was a bit of a slut/thrill seeker. What a trip down memory lane reading all of that just was.
Been on the shelf too long now, I've probably lost my Mojo.
Fucking divorce.

I definitely concede re the relevancy of Brooke Hogan's opinion. Clearly, she does not know best. ;)

I still think she should be sterilized. There isn't enough peroxide on the planet for her AND any potential progeny.

Posted by: karabee at July 22, 2008 4:28 PM

Crowded bar, during a playoff game, in the corner (you'd be amazed at what well placed "cheering" can do for you in that scenario). Also in a car various times and parking locations. On a dam (it basically had very large steps... it's in the Dallas area; it's on Joe Pool Lake). And on a front porch facing a busy highway frontage road. Amazingly enough, I don't really think of myself as an exhibitionist. I tend to view it more along the lines of experimental and up for a challenge.

Posted by: Who'sThatGirl at July 22, 2008 4:32 PM

Car hood. Country road. August. Humid. Mosquitos. Swollen, itchy, and gave my trouser crustaceans a run for their money.

Automobile. Parking lot. Dropped my phone. Dropped my pants. Hit redial. Possible employer. Left a five-minute "message" of grunts and groans. Didn't get the job. At least the "job" that pays.

Man, wasn't she younger than all the women on that show? Too bad. RIP.

A university stairwell, a couple of cars (while parked and while driving), a playground, on my parent's porch-swing, on the grass in a national park, annnd in an ex-boyfriend's dorm room, while his roommate and a couple of friends were also in the room, and we were talking to them. Eep - perhaps I divulge too much? I'll just walk myself over to Sarina's "dirty little things" club.

Posted by: b at July 22, 2008 5:52 PM

Where would I like to? On the top of a Greyhound bus tearing through Times Square and mowing through a New Year's Eve size crowd of zombies. My trusty sidekick (a thirteen year-old Vietnamese boy) would be driving and Anthrax's "Caught in a Mosh" would be playing...

Posted by: Who'sThatGirl at July 22, 2008 6:18 PM

I did it once in the backroom of a club I went to in front of a couple of other guys. What can I say, I'm a showoff! Don't worry, he wore a condom and he finished me off to boot. Lots of dirty, naughty fun!

Posted by: Jeremy at July 22, 2008 6:22 PM

Uh...Where others actually saw us: on a train (walked-in-on), on a rooftop (third-floor in a block of five-story buildings)(mid-day), in a moving car (trucks) and then on the roadside (cop), in a moving canoe (a lake)(in front of a resort)(with a restaurant on the deck), on the stairs of a walk-up. Once after a wedding reception (everyone sleeping in one room, his girlfriend sleeping 2 feet away)(awkward breakfast the next morning). Member of the mile-high club a few times over, but only one exit was actually seen. And oh, Stacy, you're not alone: twice in a little graveyard, with people passing by.

I'm actually a very private person.

Posted by: t- at July 22, 2008 6:24 PM

@ Stacey:
My first time was in a graveyard (we were camping).
I was 14, but the girl was an experienced 12.
she was polite & said it was pretty good.

Posted by: That username is already in use. at July 22, 2008 6:30 PM

This one time, in a normally-private patch of woods... we had just gotten into a nice languorous mid-fuck rhythm when a full Amtrak train came through. The best part: I swear some of the passengers waved to us.

Jeremy: I've done the same thing...

Posted by: jeem at July 22, 2008 6:47 PM

Jeremy!

Keep your mouth shut, or you'll make me jealous.

He better have been a nice boy, or I'll probably have to kill him.

Posted by: David at July 22, 2008 7:02 PM

Have I ever done it in public?

Why do you ask? Did someone say something? Were there pictures? Because I don't think you have any proof or any witnesses and whoever said anything was lying and I bet the pictures and the video are all grainy and you can't prove it was me.

What?

Posted by: greer at July 22, 2008 7:16 PM

Can't even remember all of the places...

mose memorable:

1. In my cheerleading uniform with the captian of the baskeball team on a full schoolbus on the way back from winning the last game of the season my senior year (no one had any idea)

2. In a glass elevator in a hotel on New Years Eve. Couldn't make it to the room fast enough, didn't care who saw.

I shall never run for public office

Posted by: Pudenda at July 22, 2008 7:22 PM

Not to worry, David, he was a perfect gentleman...As far as I can tell. I've only ever done it twice, and the first guy I ever did it with never called me back...But I don't really care, because he was schlubby and he had a tiny penis and I faked it. When my brother found out, he freaked out and threatend to kill him for not calling. Fun times. And what do you have to be jealous about? Your places are far more exciting! ^_^

Posted by: Jeremy at July 22, 2008 7:31 PM

Sorry mose should've been most.

And graveyards? Seriously? I think that would freak me out. I'd be thinking about zombies and such.

Posted by: Pudenda at July 22, 2008 7:31 PM

the ones that come to mind....
-church steps (and then around the side of the church in the grass)
-in the woods (fairly popular hiking area)
-in my car in college campus parking lot (many many many times)
-outside the building where I worked with my 13-years-younger European lover (2-4 times weekly for 3 years... same guy as the college campus lot, we both went there too)(he is HOT!)
Sadly, never in a graveyard. I'd enjoy that though. I don't necessarily think it's a getting caught thrill thing, at least not for me; it's just about not being able to keep your hands off each other at the time. maybe it also doesn't hurt that I'm in my mid-30's... woman's prime and all. Even with all that doing it, sometimes you need it so bad it actually physically hurts.

Other notes:
R.I.P. Estelle. So sad.
R.I.P. Brooke Hogan's brain. If there was one there to die.
R.I.P. Rolling Stone.

Posted by: Anastasia Beaverhausen at July 22, 2008 8:09 PM

In a car, on the grounds of a monastery in Maine. I remember I was wearing a purple satin bra that a few monks later spotted in our rearview window.

Do I win?

Oh, and sort of related--I once attended a funeral in a Catholic church with porn DVDs in my bag. And I'm not even Catholic, so I have no idea why this pattern exists.

Also: Jeremy and David have officially turned me on. Stop it.

Posted by: Ranylt at July 22, 2008 8:19 PM

As apparently the only involuntary virgin around these parts, it falls upon me to say:

I hate you all.

Posted by: Verrmillion at July 22, 2008 8:54 PM

As Spoon said, don't let the horny ladies get ya down, Claude. It can be rough in this locker room that is Pajiba, I know. But gender stereotypes sure get thrown out the window! It's me that needs intellectual and emotional connecting and simply can't just do it (And I connect with very few people. Life's a bitch, huh?) (Yes, even in my dreams, I've said "oh, this is too fast, too soon" And sometimes there's people around. Didn't I see that same failure in a movie recently? Highly amusing). One time I was the one left awake and unfulfilled and getting crowded out of that little bed by splaying, unconscious limbs.

Yes, I fully appreciate the black comedy that life is. You'd go nuts if you didn't.

That said, while it's not my thing, if you were interested I'd say that statistically there's probably a hell of a lot of willing freaky participants out there. As Chris Rock said, you've probably just gotta ask.

Posted by: Jay at July 22, 2008 9:51 PM

-Car in church parking lot, school parking lot, work parking lot, on side street

-Work vehicle in mall parking lot (if the Q Van's a rockin', don't come a knockin')

-Playground (there were no kids around, relax) on the slide

-Library - both aisle and carrel; those things are ideal height

-Hotel alcove where the ice machine lives

-Handicapped stall at Continental Midtown

-Front lawn (3 a.m.-ish) - it was in Mayfair; maybe it was Julie's grandmom's lawn?

-Conference room table

-Pool with other people in it

Which is more depressing? The fact that I used to be such a hoo-er or the fact that I haven't had sex since late 2007?

Posted by: Nicole at July 22, 2008 9:55 PM

public beach. almost got caught by a homless guy on a bike.

Posted by: Bea at July 22, 2008 10:41 PM

In reference to the Starbucks Vivanno thingies, I have made this and tried these in the bookstore cafe, and they are really not so good. There's these flash frozen bananas that we have to thaw and they make the saddest, most depressing plops inside the frapp blenders. It kind of confirms the existence of evil in the world. I know evil because Starbucks found it necessary to sell pseudo-healthy non-smoothie things that require flaccid, browning bananas. Which stink. A lot.
And no, we can't take your Starbucks card.

Posted by: Cait at July 22, 2008 11:11 PM

Yeah, I went to Catholic school. For anyone trying to get down in the church confessional...the sound carries...a lot. I said so many Hail Mary's for that.


Oh, I once saw a guy getting blown in the Skyfari at the Bronx Zoo. So yeah...good for him. No, they didn't have pandas there.

Posted by: jM at July 22, 2008 11:15 PM

Jeremy,

Jealous because of where you fool around? No, no, no, dear child, you're missing the point entirely. More to the point, nobody fucks with, or, for that matter, fucks, my boy. That's really the bottom line.

Honestly, it's pretty clear I'm going to have to beat both of these fools senseless.

So, we need to have a chat. I'm leaving tomorrow until Tuesday, but when I get back, I'll take you on a proper date. Then I'd suspect we'll need to come back to my place to "talk". It could be a long night, so rest up...

Posted by: David at July 22, 2008 11:46 PM

Dear Jeremy and David,

Your unbearable cuteness makes me hate the whole world and everyone in it just a little bit less.

Love and pretzel sticks,
Sarina

Posted by: Sarina at July 23, 2008 1:04 AM

I'm with you, Vermillion. Smug gits.

Posted by: Gumble at July 23, 2008 6:29 AM

Is it prudish that I just assume everyone is making up all these weird places to have had sex? I've done it in a bed... and... uh.. in the shower. Um... once on a matress on the floor? I don't see the appeal of all the weird locations.

Posted by: Ben (The Harry Potter-Bashing Troll) at July 23, 2008 6:55 AM

Oh my God, I'm going on my first date ever! YAY! What to wear, what to wear, what to wear...(And for the record, David? Peach would totally kick Toad's ass. She would whip off one of her heels and shank him in the eye with it. 'Cause bitch is fierce.)

Posted by: Jeremy at July 23, 2008 7:21 AM

Ben, honey, sometimes it just happens. I'm not lying and I'm guessing most of the others aren't either.

Posted by: b at July 23, 2008 8:34 AM

Ben, b is right. Sometimes things just happen. I've never done the deed in public because I'm an exhibitionist or anything, but sometimes you're just so hot, horny, or in love that you have to have it immediately and nothing short of instant gratification will do. All you need is two or more willing participants, an extremely sexy or sensual moment, and a miniskirt to facilitate the act. Note top beginners: miniskirts, or any skirt/dress for that matter, are not a necessary nor mandatory for participating in public sex acts but will greatly increase your chances of engaging in such acts while decreasing your chances of getting caught in said acts.

Posted by: Pudenda at July 23, 2008 8:59 AM

Color me jealous. I've once rented out a hotel room for an entire weekend and used every space within it...but never in public.

Yet.

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at July 23, 2008 9:31 AM

Public fooling around:
- back of a greyhound bus
- church basement
- several clubs during those hazy university days
Public sex:
- car
- back of my pickup truck (I grew up in the country)
- beach
- boat (tippy)
- crowded camp site (not exactly public, but tents don't afford much privacy either)
- hot tub (those bubbles don't actually conceal as much as one might expect)

Lovely thoughts to start the morning off right.

Posted by: Pea at July 23, 2008 10:21 AM

short black dress, no panties, standing in the back of a crowded club.

once had an ex work me manually under the dinner table while out with a large group of friends and family.

in the hot tub at his parents' place while visiting (meeting them for the first time). He swore they couldn't see anything from the windows. When we were done, we went upstairs and you could count the goddamn bubbles from their vantage point. They never said if they saw.

Posted by: feramones at July 23, 2008 10:45 AM

Ben - no, we're not lying. I can't speak for anyone else, but I live at home, and so do an awful lot of people in my college (there's literally room for 450 students in the on-campus dorms, out of 15,000). My parents aren't so cool with the bringing-home-of-random-hookups, or even boyfriends for that matter. Thus, it's a case of renting a hotel room (expensive), not having sex (boo-urns) or doing it somewhere vaguely public. To wit:

- children's playground (as said above, at night, with no kids around, so it's not as awful as it may seem) (you can do some really interesting stuff with a swing set) (OK, it's exactly as awful as it may seem, and I'm probably going to hell)
- beach (sandy and really not that comfortable; would not recommend)
- behind the restaurant on my college campus (hidden from view by a dumpster; we could hear people playing tennis 10 feet away)
- a public park
- bathroom at a club
- multiple places in a parked car, including parking lots and various scenic viewpoints in the mountains around my house

Oh, and also, technically, the dancefloor of a club. Which, to be fair, wasn't planned - I was making out with the guy, there was some grinding going on, and I ground a little bit too vigourously for him. I dunno, does that even count?

Glad to see there are others out there as bad as/worse than me though. Once again, Pajiba provides the comforting evidence that no matter how horrific I may think I am, there's always a lower place. Cheers!

In a Porta Potty at a "Baptists Youths Against Rhesus Research" conference with Kim Kardashian's third cousin Lara. She had really chappy lips, but was all "eww" when I offered her my chapstick. Bitch.

Posted by: Skittimus Maximus at July 23, 2008 12:13 PM

I love threads like these! (keep in mind most of my experiences were at night)

-art studio at the university
-public bathroom (during an art show)
-on the steps of the local catholic church (I was bitter)
-closed pool
-restaurant freezer (he worked with me and we dared each other after months of ridiculous flirting)
-changing room at Sears (AWFUL)
-children's playground (on the way back from the bar at 4am)
-the laundry room at my apartment (holy shit was that awesome)

I suppose when it gets you it gets you, eh? And yes, like many other pajibans these were usually based on the no privacy/raging hormones factor.

Posted by: elspeth at July 23, 2008 12:15 PM

At first, I thought I had been kicked out of the Pajibaverse. Then I realised I am not the only one with my grandma name.

Public Sex:
Cars, Trains, and Buses (mostly in High school)(don't try to get funky on the SEPTA R5 - you will get thrown off by angry SEPTA employees)

Most recently, in the bathroom at a bar.

Bosses Desk? Never, but would love that shit.
Beach? Never, because I know where sand lives.

Posted by: Estelle at July 23, 2008 1:48 PM

In a tent in a crowded campground (many, many times), usually at night. I traveled cross-country for two months after college -- if we weren't getting down at the campsite, we weren't getting down at all.

In a waterfall just off a well-traveled trail in broad daylight.

Posted by: thejodester at July 23, 2008 2:07 PM

Sex on the beach once.

I also received a handjob in a moving car on the highway from my girlfriend who was driving. A lady driving in a vehicle higher than us got a good look and appeared extremely disapproving. I was enjoying myself too much to care.

I wish I had more experience in the public sphere. I had this fantasy about a waterfall and Shenandoah National Park (they allow off-trail skinny-dipping), but I never had the chance to fulfill it. I'd like to do it in a cavern, too; I bet the echo would be hot.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at July 23, 2008 2:39 PM

If it's not too bold, Vermillion, meet Julie. Julie, Verm. I understand you two could possibly solve some mutual problems. I'll waive my finders' fee if you allow my agent and XO Shadows to...document ahem chaperone your encounter(s).

I will hurt you, lordhelmet. Nobody pimps out my fiance except me.

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at July 23, 2008 5:11 PM

Shadows, who's pimping? She just said she was single. If you can't handle reality then I may need a new XO - hell, I just offered you the chaperone's duties - some ingrate you are! Unless you meant Vermillion, in which case I hate to break it to you but I don't think he swings that way.

Posted by: lordhelmet at July 23, 2008 5:30 PM

I banged my gf from behind while she was bent over my Mom's kitchen sink. About 3 in the afternoon, her friend was helping her dye/streak her hair & condition it (and never guessed).

I stood behind her & "helped" by holding the towel over her shoulders while I pulled her swimsuit to the side.

A few other people were on the other side of a counter, sitting at the table & talking to us, & I am still amazed we were both able to finish & not get caught.

Most fun I ever had standing up, & we got married a year later (almost 22 years ago)
