Much like other controversial Pajiba Love offerings such as Squirrel-apult and “I Haz Walrus,” some of you are going to find this completely awful and others are going to find it awfully hilarious. Guess which camp I fall under? (Celebslam)

Guess how Dina Lohan pushed Ali one step closer towards her inevitable drug addiction/alcohol problems/public downfall this time? (WIMB)

I bet you guys totally didn’t know McCain drove a hybrid, did you? It’s because he actually cares about the environment. (QuizLaw)

One of our wet-behind-the-ears Pajiba Peeps is trying to get the Colbert Bump for her college application. And who would I be not to indulge a dream? (I Need Colbert)

I don’t know if there’s a God out there or any kind of superior being… But if there is? Fuck you. No really: Fuck. You. (Whoa, Camel!)

Good news Lorber Lovers, Amanda Lorber is back! (FourFour)

Kanye West is pulling the (what else?) race card because HBO won’t give him his own sitcom. Seriously, dude has got such a great sense of humor; why not? (Agent Bedhead)

David Duchovny’s wang is back on the loose. (The Blemish)

Ahhha hahah haha ha. Sara Palin wants to impersonate Tina Fey? What’s the sound of a million people confusedly and disgustedly tilting their heads in unison? (DListed)

I would love to see a transformer transform into a kickass BBQ smoker and then hand me out a plate of kickass ribs. (Serious Eats)

A-HA’s “Take On Me” was my favorite music video as a kid… And this version made me burst out into uncontrollable fits of giggles and squee. (Via YBNBY!)

I won't even comment on Kanye I don't wanna give the Pajiba Chapter of the Klan anymore reasons to open their pieholes.


And 'staches rule, you know you love'em.

Stacey,

I actually worked with A-Ha for three days. Morten's reiki teacher even healed me of my cold.

No, seriously.

Posted by: Sofía at October 7, 2008 12:10 PM

That A-Ha video had me quaffin' my coffee here at my desk.

God, sometimes I actually miss the 80's...

Posted by: Becky Tri-Tip Goddess at October 7, 2008 12:12 PM

I dunno, that one's good but the Rick Roll the Mets campaign was pretty freakin' awesome.

Posted by: Eep at October 7, 2008 12:20 PM

At least that A-Ha video made more sense to me than the original version.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at October 7, 2008 12:28 PM

Um, that Amanda Lorber chick is legal now, right? Because if she isn't, I am going to have to, um, stop talking now.

Let's just say, it is a good thing she doesn't have her glasses anymore.

Okay, I am going to stop now.

Fun trivia fact, Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" was the number 1 single on August 27th, 1986.

Which is the day I was born.

When I become ruler of the world, I will have a fully orchestrated version as my official entrance music.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at October 7, 2008 12:43 PM

Sofia, I might be the most jealous person alive right now, OMG. Can I tell y'all about my "he's so dreamy" phase in the 80s? Without getting made fun of? No? Nevermind then. Make fun all you like, he was COMPLETELY dreamy.

Also, I have been known, upon occasion, to appreciate a 'stache. That Eugene Hutz, for instance? That's a hot 'stache.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at October 7, 2008 12:46 PM

I, for one, welcome your benevolent rule. May all your enemies tremble before your awesome might.

*bows in salute*


*cue me some Astley Phil, make it, grandiose*

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at October 7, 2008 12:50 PM

There is nothing wrong with a good stache on the right gentleman.

Staches are like bowler hats in that way.

Posted by: Kayanne at October 7, 2008 12:53 PM

I bet Phil has a 'stache. A hot 'stache.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at October 7, 2008 12:56 PM

I remember growing my first mustache (not the molesterstache variety but a real soup collector) I wore it proudly for about a week before one of my friends threw in a real good zinger and I had to shave it off in shame.

Posted by: dylanj at October 7, 2008 1:02 PM

Tom Selleck and Wilford Brimley mock your disdain for mustaches, Stacey.

(If you think that's just a cheap excuse so I can make you all think about diabeetus, you're absolutely right)

Posted by: branded at October 7, 2008 1:09 PM

Anna, it wasn't all tight asses and cute winks with those fellas. (see link)

Posted by: Sofía at October 7, 2008 1:11 PM

Loved the A-Ha video.

Posted by: Cindy at October 7, 2008 1:12 PM

the important thing to remember is Rick never told a lie or hurt you

Posted by: dylanj at October 7, 2008 1:14 PM

What about RDJ in Iron Man? I thought all the Pajibians thought he was mega-sexy in that, and he had a Starkstache.

Posted by: Lucas at October 7, 2008 1:31 PM

Wait, wait. The Beckhams are white?

Posted by: Lucas at October 7, 2008 1:39 PM

What exactly is a Rick Roll? I've heard about it for far too long to ignore now...is it just applying the lyrics to that cheesy song to something out of context?

Nevermind, I really don't care. Ooh look, we got a new water cooler at work!

Posted by: Julie at October 7, 2008 1:46 PM

Wow, Sofia, that sounds fairly harrowing... but, he still looks pretty good!

Also, Lucas, I'm fairly certain RDJ gets a pass for whatever he wants to do with his facial hair. He's so hot, the rules don't apply.

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at October 7, 2008 1:48 PM

That A-Ha video was awesome.

Posted by: EricD at October 7, 2008 1:51 PM

That AHA video brought back memories of a girl I hated in college who had that same stupid fluffy hairstyle and wore lost of aqua-colored clothing. (Reverts to wearing all black and sitting corners wondering why people think fluffy hair is attractive).

Posted by: PaddyDog at October 7, 2008 1:55 PM

Fluffy hair may or may not be attractive, but teased hair is the ultimate low-maintenance style short of having no hair. It can't get messed up and it's pretty resilient! Morten's girl probably did some teasing, but in too just-so a manner to be anything near efficient.

Rat's Nest 08!

Posted by: Jay at October 7, 2008 2:30 PM

You Know, whenever someone gets RickRolled, I think of that old Nick Lowe song "All Men All Liars" with the immortal lyrics:

Well, do you remember Rick Astley?
He had a big fat hit it was ghastly.
He said I'm never gonna give you up or let you down.
Well. I'm here to tell you that dick's a clown...

I'm pretty sure that song came out in the '80's too.

Posted by: TheUpsetter at October 7, 2008 2:46 PM

1) Love Rick Astley
2) Now I finally love that stupid fucking A-Ha video.
2) mr.wsapnin rocked the pornstache when we got married. It's always fun to bring out the photo for a good laugh.
3)AlabamaPink's current situation is fucked up and I felt like I got a kick to the stomach when I read her blog. Wish I could take a few more kicks in the stomach for her. :(

Posted by: wsapnin at October 7, 2008 3:22 PM

A-HA! My heart swells with glee! A pang, an actual pang! Oh glory hallelu, I'm not dead yet! Soooo cute!

I'm done.

Posted by: replica at October 7, 2008 3:29 PM

Hey PaddyDog, some of us just have naturally big hair! Mine is super thick, and it always looks a little fluffy. Although it never looks intentionally fluffy...

Posted by: PaleoLithchick at October 7, 2008 3:47 PM

Wait. Hold on a fucking second. Mustaches aren't sexy?

Jesus Christ, there goes the whole foundation for my look. What the fuck am I supposed to do now? I have been grooming this thing for 12 years.

Now you tell me it's not sexy.

I have wasted my life.

Thanks

Posted by: DemonWaterPolo at October 7, 2008 4:04 PM

A-HA.... Deep sigh... That was hilarious, and nostalgic.

'Staches aren't sexy huh? 1 name for you:
Tom Selleck

That is all.

Posted by: Lindsey at October 7, 2008 4:19 PM

DWP I doubt your stache has been been for naught. Is it handlebar, do you use mustache wax, do you look suave with it?

Staches are alright with me!

Posted by: Kayanne at October 7, 2008 4:30 PM

I was sorry to read about Alabamapink's situation. I'm sending all kinds of good thoughts and hope for her and for the mister. Jeez, life does suck sometimes.

Posted by: rlr260 at October 7, 2008 4:39 PM

I never realized that the hallway scene in that video was a rip-off of Altered States.

Posted by: firedmyass at October 7, 2008 4:53 PM

That A-Ha video was fucking perfect. I loved that video so much as a kid, and still kind of give comic books a sideways glance filled with longing because of it (whisk me away! let's make sweet 2-dimensional love!).

Posted by: Sharon at October 7, 2008 5:00 PM

OK, so the a-ha (and yes, it is supposed to be all lowercase) video didn't really do it for me...a cute idea taken to an unbearable extreme...like a good trailer for an ultimately lousy movie.

Hunting High and Low was a pretty good album, although hardly anyone knows anything from a-ha besides Take On Me. I probably still have the cassette in the basement somewhere...

Posted by: Che Grovera at October 7, 2008 5:28 PM

Has anyone seen the A-ha guy lately? He's aged beautifully:

Posted by: snapnhiss at October 7, 2008 8:12 PM

I've had a stache for ... um, lessee ... bout 32 years and been married 26 years, so my wife has never seen me naked. If I got kidnapped and the kidnappers shaved me, she wouldn't recognize my Xeroxed photo on the ransom note.

Comforting.

Posted by: bucdaddy at October 7, 2008 11:54 PM

Pink,

That's terrible. Those assholes.

I think I can speak for all Pajibites when I say:

1) We love you, honey. Get well.

2) The Murdertank has been deployed.

"Angelina Jolie was photographed out in New Orleans yesterday with Shiloh, two and a half, Pax, who turns five next month, and Zahara, who turns four in January. She wore a loose black sun dress and ballet flats and was seen holding Shiloh as the tot clutched a bag of Cheetos."

That's some brilliant journalism right there. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to have a blog. Fuck you, celebitchy.

Posted by: Arthur Dent at October 8, 2008 8:11 AM

I have been known to break out the wax for special occasions. Like, my graduation or someone's birthday. During the everyday it is more of a Yeoman's stache.

Hard work never hurt a mustache.
