Pajiba Love

Because who actually does work on a Monday; here’s another time killer compliments of Elizabeth, who is clearly on a roll here. Who thinks the TV Whore should do one for this week’s column? (FaceYourManga)

Here’s a story which needs no comedic enhancement: some guys tried to mug Danny Bonaduce, as in the one who sprinkles steroids on his Cheerios in the morning. (WIMB)

Check out this interview with Darren Jessee, formerly the drummer for Ben Folds Five, and now heading up the folk-pop outfit, Hotel Lights. (ASWOBA)

Marcel from Season Two hosted a dinner in NYC this weekend, and — spoiler alert — there was foam! (SeriousEats)

Speaking of good old Marcel, we finally found someone who is even worse at rapping than he is, making him no longer the worst white person rapper ever. (QuizLaw)

If you don’t already have enough reasons not to vote for John McCain, how about this one? Dude is a zombie! (ZombieForecast)

Darryl totally gets busted for drugs on the next season of “The Office.” (The Blemish)

I still refuse to believe that these two are a couple, so here is Kristen Bell heroically giving mouth to mouth to that dude from “Punked,” who clearly had a near-drowning incident. (IDLYITW)

If you can, take a minute to vote for Pajiba reader Syracursed’s entry into this Unnecessary Sequels Contest. (FilmmakingFrenzy)

Jessica Alba finally gives the old sweatpants a break and puts on a dress to go to some fancy Hollywood thing. (Popoholic)

If you want the gist of the Comedy Central Bob Saget Roast without actually having to watch… Well, there were a lot of Olsen Twin jokes. (CCInsider)

If you, too, think the Olympics suck and are boring, an opinion which I no longer feel ashamed of now that my fearless leader has come out and said the same, maybe you’ll enjoy these Hipster Olympics, after the jump. (Thanks, Bethy!)

*sigh* All I can hear is Michael Scott, in the Prison Mike episode, saying, "It had to be the black guy..." Say it ain't so, Craig!

I have got to try that Manga thing...sounds too fun....

The Olympics may be boring now, since the swimming is over and there'll be no more Phelps torso to drool over for another four years, but through Saturday night I'd say they were pretty, uh, arousing.

Posted by: Kolby at August 18, 2008 4:18 PM

That manga-face thing is the work of the devil.

Kolby: The Olympics are all about Alexandre Despatie's package now.

Posted by: jeem at August 18, 2008 4:22 PM

Those Mangy things are creepy. Their eyes are too big and their noses too small. They all look like Howdy Doody.

Posted by: BWeaves at August 18, 2008 4:25 PM

My glasses didn't fit my eyes on my Mangaface. So I'm a blind Manga as I didn't want my eyes popping out from under my glasses like they were Tara Reid's boobs or something.

Posted by: Kash at August 18, 2008 4:36 PM

But I think the Mangaface would be useful if you could plug it into your womb and program your baby to look like what you picked out. Mine would surely have hearts for eyes and come out with tattoos and a cool background in the snow.

Posted by: Kash at August 18, 2008 4:38 PM

Clearly, I am a 'tard who doesn't know my own face. My Manga girlie looks nothing like me except for the hair (or lack thereof).

Maybe I should have given her those crazy big eyes and put her in a bikini. Ree-OW.

It was fun though.

Posted by: Alabamapink at August 18, 2008 4:43 PM

DAMN YOU elizabeth!!! I can't stop playing with my face!!!

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 18, 2008 4:44 PM

There wasn't enough "handsome bastard" options on the Manga site, so unfortunately my avatar will never be...

I will however, send an 8x10 glossy of me in my comfy chair for the low price of $29.99. It's a relaxed pose, with a strategically-placed pillow. You want a photo with the pillow gone? $59.99. For a personalized message, please wri...

...whazzat?

NO IT'S NO A PICTURE OF MY WIENER! IT'S FRIGGIN' MINIMUS UNDER THAT PILLOW! JEEZUM CROW, YOU GUYS ARE FRIGGIN' PERVS! THERE ARE THREE PEOPLE WHO CAN SEE MY DANGLY BITS - ME, MY DOCTOR, AND MY BROTHER - YOU WANNA GLIMPSE OF THE GOODS, YOU'D BETTER BE READY TO SPEND A DAY IN CASA DE MAXIMUS! Yeah, that's how I roll... You spend a day with me as I run my errands and should you still be able to stomach the thought of my dinkle, I'll give you an upskirt... Yes, I wear a skirt. WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?!

Posted by: Skittimus Maximus at August 18, 2008 4:46 PM

I'd also like to point out that the manga face generator turns out icons suitable for the Pajiban Map...

Comme ca

I'm not all that clear on the rules of manga, but my friend is teaching me, and this is what I know thus far:
-People with red hair are evil
-It is entirely possible to be over six feet tall, weigh less than one-hundred pounds, and not die
-All serious arguments can be solved by playing a children's card game
-You can let your ten year old child wander around the world, unsupervised, throwing stupid little balls at fire-breathing dogs, and Child Services won't mind at all.
-The Buster Sword is completely realistic
-Bad mouthing Aerith is grounds for evisceration
-Cosplay isn't weird at all
-Neither is wearing school uniforms outside of school

Posted by: Jeremy at August 18, 2008 4:55 PM

Now I know what to look for when next at The Field!

Stalking... activate!

Posted by: TK at August 18, 2008 4:56 PM

What? Jeremy, are you saying that I'm evil in Manga-land? That sucks.

And is "cosplay" what I think it is? Ewww....

Posted by: MO(meaux) at August 18, 2008 5:02 PM

Kash, you do know that you can position everything you add, right? There's arrows at the bottom that let you move em up and down.

We need to share avatars.

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 18, 2008 5:03 PM

Yeah I know Shadows, my eyes are just too damn big. How can we share? Mine's up on the bloggg.

Posted by: Kash at August 18, 2008 5:05 PM

TK, I think the Pajiba tshirt will be a bigger give-away than my manga image. Just sayin'. I may have big eyes, but they ain't that big.

Posted by: elizabeth at August 18, 2008 5:08 PM

So...anyone else wanna know who's the avatar featured up there? Cuz...rowr...

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 18, 2008 5:15 PM

Wink wink!

Posted by: Stacey at August 18, 2008 5:56 PM

I'd make myself an avatar but, unfortunately, "cold black shark eyes" and "sociopathic smirk" aren't options. Though, they do have witches nose...

Posted by: jM at August 18, 2008 6:01 PM

Mo(meaux), you're not alone, that makes me at least half evil naturally and fully evil by choice.

And cosplay just involves grown adults dressing up like cartoon characters. My brother went to Otakon for a few years and is constantly trying to indoctrinate me with anime. It hasn't worked so far.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at August 18, 2008 6:20 PM

Swimming? Are you fucking kidding me. Who gives a fuck about swimming? Except for maybe the homo lovers of the swimmers. You got your gold medals now please exit, stage left, right even.

Posted by: Pookie at August 18, 2008 6:21 PM

Oh, that's not at all what I was thinking, Genny (also Rusty). Thought it had to do with "cos" as in, short for "cousin"--yikes! Though...grownups dressed as cartoon characters is kind of equally creepy, in its own way....

Anyway, thanks (I think!) for the clarification, fellow evil manga gal!

Posted by: MO(meaux) at August 18, 2008 6:38 PM

I would make out with manga Stacey, yessirree.

Posted by: P at August 18, 2008 6:46 PM

Huh...how do I make my manga black? Or they don't do black in Manga? Because with my quite African nose, my manga looks like an albino...or like a white person whose distant African ancestors came back to haunt them in the form of a nose.

Posted by: Joker at August 18, 2008 7:28 PM

I am into costume BUSINESS, not costume PLAY.

I suppose The Boondocks kind of approximates black manga.

I guess Stacey did a good job, or she simply looks like manga naturally, as I knew that was you right away.

Oh and Aerith?

Pfffffft.

I now officially take back everything I ever said about how much I hated Logan "Bum-Fight" Echolls and his unsuitability as Veronica Mars's boyfriend. Apparently, she CAN do worse.

Posted by: Craig at August 18, 2008 8:17 PM

"If you don't already have enough reasons not to vote for John McCain,..."

I'm going to just go ahead and avoid the guy with only a couple of years experience and no major legislation. BO is THE most unqualified person to ever run for the office of president. Sorry but hopechange, changehope doesn't do it for me.

Posted by: slug at August 18, 2008 11:32 PM

Because I'm a huge dork, I made a manga face, then took elizabeth's advice and made it a placeholder on the Pajiba map. Yup, dork.

Posted by: Snath at August 18, 2008 11:37 PM

The Olympics are a sham and a fraud. They're a two-week-long commercial disguised (and damn poorly at that) as a sporting event. When the people in charge of the Games are not engaged in graft, corruption and outright bribery, they are climbing into bed with dictators and thugs who brutally crush any whiff of dissent by such notable terrorist groups as college students, Tibetans, Falun Gong and Christians, and who spent $40 billion throwing up stadiums while 1 billion of their people go poor. It's Berlin '36 all over again. The Games do absolutely nothing for any humanitarian cause anywhere. No. Thing. Fuck the fucking Communist Chinese, and fuck the fucking Olympics.

Posted by: bucdaddy at August 19, 2008 1:32 AM

Kash - That happened to my glasses too. You can pick smaller eyes that actually fit in the frame.

Posted by: Gumble at August 19, 2008 3:51 AM

I find yearbookyourself.com to be the superior internet avatar timesuck, compared to the manga thing.
Those Olsen Twins jokes were so wrong. I have to go see if I can't find that whole thing online somewhere now, speaking of timesucks.

Posted by: AdaHaze at August 19, 2008 4:50 AM

Wink wink!
Posted by: Stacey at August 18, 2008 5:56 PM

So...uh...this is awkward...you doing anything this weekend?

Posted by: Shadows of Dakaron at August 19, 2008 9:28 AM

"I'm going to just go ahead and avoid the guy with only a couple of years experience and no major legislation. BO is THE most unqualified person to ever run for the office of president. Sorry but hopechange, changehope doesn't do it for me."

Are you fucking kidding me? Perhaps Keating Five or one hundred years of war or taxing the middle class back to the stone age or calling his wife a cunt or voting against any and every bill that would help vets or voting against equal pay for women or lobbing for big oil or voting against MLK as a national holiday in Arizona or cheating on his first wife and marring the beer lady or for just being a total dick. In a nutshell that's your pick for president the honorable John McAss.

Posted by: pookie at August 19, 2008 11:48 AM

Or, how about the fact that we literally cannot afford (financially, morally, etc.) to have a republican in the white house for another four years?

Posted by: tamatha at August 19, 2008 1:18 PM

How is it that the Reds have cornered the market on political marketing in this country?

Ronnie Ray-gun and L'il Bush have accounted for a larger share of the accumulated national debt than all other Presidents combined, yet morons like my coworker yesterday blather on about not wanting a tax-and-spend Democrat in the White House! Who is the only President in the last two generations to not only balance a budget but to run a surplus? Hmmm, think, think...oh yeah, that guy who got impeached over a blowjob. Hell, I'd suck W's dick if I thought it would get him impeached, but his puppetmasters seem to have a full-body coat of Teflon on him; he can start wars with prevarications that make "I did not have sex with that woman" seem quaint and the general populace just goes numbly about its business of trying to forestall foreclosure induced by the regulatory neglect and slack monetary policy of...oh God, this is depressing.

If the Blues blow this one we are royally screwed.

Posted by: Che Grovera at August 19, 2008 2:47 PM

Also? The Olympics gives out medals in synchronized swimming and trampoline (not a misprint) but they're kicking out baseball and softball.
