I was (pleasantly) surprised by the Anna Paquin nekkid in last night's True Blood. There has been plenty of other nudity in the show, since the very first episode, but I didn't expect it of her because I don't think it's something she's done before.
I did my...erm...homework...and looked online for verification of this, and couldn't find anything more nekkid. I looked really hard, too. I was, like, searching for hours.
So about the same as every day, I guess.

Completely legit question here - What happens to tattoos in second and third-degree burns? I'd imagine with third-degree, they're just gone, but what about second? And what about skin grafts? Barker said in a n interview that they took skin from his back - what the hell happens then?
I'm aware I could do a little research, but you know what? I'm a lazy prick. There, I said it. A lazy, self-absorbent prick who doesn't care about anyone other than himself. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR, MOM? IS IT?! NEVER GOOD ENOUGH, WAS I? ALWAYS TOO WENDEL'S SIDE, ALWA... uh... Yeah, so does anybody know the answer here?

On a different topic for anyone who is interested, today is the 35th anniversary of "The Sting" and AMC will be showing it tonight in all of its orginal Newman/Redford loveliness.
Also Palin haters (bonjour Eep), go to HuffPo for the video of her being booed by a stadium full of hockey fans. Priceless.

Add me to the people who wonder what happened to Barker's tattoos. Does he have tats on his back? If back skin was used for grafting, did the tats get transferred to the new site? This is only mild curiosity, so I'm not gonna look it up either.
I don't think Tina Fey is ruining Sarah Palin's career. I think every time Palin opens her mouth in an interview, she ruins her own career.At least I hope so.

B'Slim:
I take your point. I believe her to be clever enough to have sensed the sentiment in her own state and leveraged that to huge personal advantage with her populaist gimicks like the eBay sale. She seems to always walk just on the right side of the line where she can't be indicted or officially censured. In other words, she's savvy enough to play the populist/christian card, while appearing "knowledgeable" about energy. That takes work when the people who represent your core think "knowledge" is a dreadful, shameful thing.

Skits, I know a guy who's had medically serious burns, but he only has one tattoo and it wasn't burned and it wasn't on the area of skin taken for grafts. And hell no, I'm not burning any of mine with a damn curling iron for your amusement. I think you should give Minimus some ink from a ballpoint pen and a paperclip sharpened with a metal nail file, and let him MacGyver you a prison tattoo. Then in a month or so you can let him play with matches and petrol in the vicinity of your flesh. You'll totally get your answer. Think of it as a science project, Mr. Wizard.
Oh, and ditto about the Weeds walk-on role. My first thought was how I could "accidentally" trip and "fall" boob-first onto Andy's hands.
Posted by: Sabrina at October 13, 2008 2:06 PM
That lion reunion video is awesome, but why couldn't they use the original song with Dolly Parton? I have a visceral reaction to anything sung by the Whitney Houston/Celine Dion types who think being able to hold a note for a long time equals being able to sing.
Posted by: PaddyDog at October 13, 2008 2:10 PM
Eep, anyone can be in the honor society - all you had to do was maintain a B average and do community service. I did it, and I'm borderline retarded.
Also, am I the only one who likes True Blood? I mean, by HBO standards it sucks, but by network tv standards it's pretty good; plus that guy who plays Jason Stackhouse is naked all the fucking time. It's a beautiful thing.
RE: travis barker's tats - A baby sitter of mine had one of her tats destroyed in a motorcycle accident. When something like that happens, what usually done is a 'cover up'. It's exactly what it sounds like. They just cover up the old tattoo with a really big tattoo. In her case, she chose some big brown teddy bears.

Sabrina, Twilight? Really? *shudder* You poor thing. The Southern Vampire novels are actually really good. Or maybe I think they're really good because they are like sweet morphine after the horrible Twilight-shaped stab wound in my brain. They make me forget all about the shimmering.
Not only is the Sarah Palin SAT score thing fake, but it falls into the same trap that is a pet peeve of mine in the land of television and movies when the discussion of SAT scores ensues. SAT scores - at least from the 80s and early 90s - must by definition end in a zero. If someone from that era tells you they got a 1425 or a 1286, it is a lie. I don't know if they are still scored the same way these days, but back then scores could only be incremented in tens. (And consequently, no, these are not Dawn Eden's scores either. The numbers are altered.)
Posted by: DarthCorleone at October 13, 2008 2:42 PM
Mmmm, sparkly vampires who produce mutant vampire/Loch Ness monster babies that need to be bitten out of their human mothers' wombs...
I actually don't doubt that the True Blood books are much better, but if I see a vampire now, especially when you add in mind-reading, I think Cullen. If I catch more scenes centered around Jason's priapism, though, that could certainly help...

I set them both on fire and then coloured on the floor with a Sharpie until I was escorted out by security. I was an excellent student.

I really don't care about anybody's SAT scores (or Leaving Cert or Baccalaureat or A Levels, etc.). Actually, I'm of the belief that nothing we do when we are 18 should be held against us.
However, I do care strongly about the ideology of a 44 year old woman and on that basis, Palin (and her nasty rich-old lecher running mate) should be condemned.
Posted by: PaddyDog at October 13, 2008 3:14 PM
Funny you should say that Kalafraja; according to Page3 of the Sun a few years back, you could correlate the size of the boobs in "gentlemen's publications" to the condition of the market.

You know if Obama had been a POW, there would be multiple GOP ads questioning "exactly what went on" in those "cosy POW camps". Remember what they did to John Kerry or McCain humself when Bush was their annointed darling? The GOP has 100% proof innuendo running through its veins. A while ago I would have supported your defence of McCain, but he has been the emperor of innuendo for the past few weeks and he deserves whatever dirt is shoveled back in his direction.

You know newcomer trolls should be warned that BarbadoSlim is a former POW himself. He spent at least three months in TK's basement, absent from Pajiba, tortured daily by zombies and forced to participate in whatever TK's whim of the day was. As a result, he can barely raise his eyebrows to register disapproval (hence his need to express it here). We will not stand for your attacks on him.
Posted by: BarbadoSlim at October 13, 2008 4:16 PM
@ Paddy + BS
First off I am not a McCain supporter by any means- my vote is going to Obama.
2nd- I dont give a shit what the Republicans would have done because I try not to behave in the manner that those kind of people do. Simply because some shadow right wing group attacked somebody who served while their canidate was on the front lines of Alabama doesnt mean I want my party to do the same kind of shit.
Third- Though I never said John McCain was some kind of super soilder he was shot down, was tortured for years and has had permanent injuries because of it. That's not funny or anything we should try and take away from him simply because he wouldnt be a good president.
Finally- regarding the "lemming" comment what kind of dumb fuck do you have to be to think that not agreeing with the most radical liberal line around here is being a follower? If anyone is a lemming around here its slim, if anybody doesnt agree with his nonsense then it's eAttack! mode. I dont give a shit if he was a "lousy officer" that was never the argument, and even bringing that in makes your changing the subject approach (is BSlim really Sarah Palin?) look even more silly. The issue is you are a lousy fucking person to try and call the guy a sell out because he eventually cracked under torture. That's fucked up and the fact you can see that really shouldnt suprise me by this point.
Posted by: dylanj at October 13, 2008 4:19 PM

Posted by: dylanj at October 13, 2008 4:23 PM
dylanj:
You have a point about his past: he used to be tough, but the guy is a Grade A sell-out. He knows what it's like to have all his civil liberties removed, be locked up indefinitely and be tortured and yet in his blind pursuit of the White House he has reneged on his original condemnation of what has been happening for the past 6 years at Guantanamo Bay. I say it's fair game to use his past against him when he now condones the same thing being done to "enemy combatants" and denies them the protection of the Geneva Conventions.
Posted by: PaddyDog at October 13, 2008 4:23 PM
Pajiba has to be the only site where people care equally for breasts and spelling.
you are right that somebody who went through that kind of abuse and now wont comdemn it is way off base. Of course I think that shutting down that place should be a no brainer for him, the fact he hasnt come down on it more is suprising. But again- THATS POLITICS- attack him for those all you want, its shit like that which causes me to support Obama. That said- what happened to him was NOT politics it was torture, and calling him a "sellout" as a person for caving in is fucking disgusting to me.
McCain- as a politician = sell out (though they all are at some level)
McCain giving in after years of abuse = none of anyone else's fucking business.

sigh- this is just going to make me grumpy so I'm going to return to blogging about 30 Rock.

So Slim either works for the federal government or a bank?
See, that's the level of discourse you presented to me, friend.

dylanj,
I'll send you to a nice, relaxing place when you come to Chile. My guess is you're going to the north. Lots of mystique in that desert of ours. You'll see. You won't even think about people who piss you off.
But I must say dylanj , when it comes to being funny, I don't think ANYTHING should be off-limits. And if anything those years being tortured mean the guy can take a pun(ch)...
(That was really bad but I couldn't resist. I'll go and bury my shame in my chest now.)
last thing from me on this before Slim gets the Bill O Reilly "last word"
I call'em like I see em. Hopefully you are just really young and immature because if you're an adult and calling people "sellouts" over what happened to McCain in the war then you are indeed the poster boy for being a "piece of shit"

I have actually been to the Atacama before but I think this project is more in the mountains. It may all be talk though because the Chilean behind it has been saying he has a project for 4 years now and hasnt got the funding together yet.
Posted by: dylanj at October 13, 2008 4:51 PM
I haven't called anyone a sellout, I called McCain a COLLABORATOR. The allegations are there, have been, for years. I also called him a lousy officer, and oh yeah he was lousy, his Navy record is testament to that.
But, what you really wanted to do was call me a piece of shit, and you did. So you get the last word, and I still think he's a little collaborating opportunist.
Posted by: BarbadoSlim at October 13, 2008 4:58 PM

McCain opened himself to criticism of his military record when he made it a part of his campaign.
Can we talk about boobs again now?
Speaking of which, yes, Kalafraja, I am serious. The Sun really did run that article several years back. I'm afraid I can't find it, but I'm definitely not making it up, and they backed it up with a series of photos from their history.

Can we go back to True Blood for a sec? I think it's perfectly fine provided you approach it as a separate entity from the books. It's a damn sight better than Moonlight, but I can't compare it to the Twilight stuff 'cause I haven't gone there. The show is doing a really good job of preserving the flavor of a Southern small town, which is a big part of the charm of Harris' books. And it makes me smile to hear criticism of the accents--saying there's a "Southern" accent is like saying there's a "British" accent...that's a mighty big umbrella. All I'm sayin' is, I can go out in this field, throw a cow patty and hit a dozen people who sound just like Paquin & Co. I even have a cousin whose accent sounds like Keanu Reeves in "The Gift".

I prefer Peter Spelling.
His startling and memorable performance as "G-Man 2" in 1993's The Chile Con Carne Club left me asking: "Why, Peter? Why did you give up acting? Why did you deprive us of your craft?"
Posted by: DarthCorleone at October 13, 2008 5:34 PM
Excuse me. The Chili Con Carne Club. How ironic that I flubbed the spelling! I blame the talk of Chile above.

Eep - I can imagine what THAT master of photo journalism looked like! Ha. Boobies boobies everywhere!
Lainey, I've been rack dancing all afternoon. My rack dance looks something like the chicken dance combined with the limbo. It's hot.
Posted by: kalafraja at October 13, 2008 5:56 PM
Not only is B-Slim one of the reasons why most of us are here (pretty much the OG Eloquent), he is entirely right in criticizing a man for strategically using his torture as an infallible campaign talking point. He isn't an American hero because he was tortured, he's a hero because he was a soldier, so play that angle up. Now as for his military record or his actions while he was tortured, I don't think they're anything to brag about. Can't fault him for talking but I also don't think he should throw the capture in our faces as some kind of accomplishment. It's a little fucked up to be honest. Anyway, big B-Slim fan here and he is most definitely not a piece of shit...you meanie.

"'fall' boob-first"
You only have one? You mean, like a uniboob?
I know this was hours ago, but I don't want charges of question-evading leveled against me. I save my evading for taxes. So to answer your vicious and sexist interrogation, bucdaddy: yes, one boob. I am a boob Cyclops.
It's magnificent, though.

Sabrina You have a single boob on your forehead? Awesome!
Posted by: Pants at October 13, 2008 6:14 PM
Sabrina, is it less "motorboating" in your case than it is "wakeboarding"?
Posted by: kalafraja at October 13, 2008 6:15 PM
My brain took the holiday off, so I am ignoring the political whathaveyou and going straight for the boobies:
2) Megan Fox: you may read comic books and you may love zom-rom-coms, but you will always ignore guys like me. So please shut the fuck up and stop patronizing me.
I would agree with that sentiment, if it wasn't for the fact that she dates BRAIN AUSTIN GREEN. Something tells me she might be on the up and up.
Now, if you will excuse me, I have a nice image of Tina Fey taking a nap in Salma's rack in my head, and I don't want it to go to waste.
Yes, Pants, it is awesome. It sometimes hurts my chances at office jobs, but I will always have steady offers from circuses and strip clubs.
kalafraja, I've always considered it more along the lines of kayaking, or skiing down Mt. Everest, but hey, wakeboarding? Sure, why not. My boob is a jack of all Cycloptic-motorboating trades.

jM, you want a Cyclops bra or an eyepatch? I thought I was the only one with this marvelous affliction. Or do you want it for the valuable piece of artwork somebody finally recognizes it is?
Sweet, Lainey! I hope you're serious because I actually am unemployed, and a job would be dandy.

Both. The eye patch to wear and the Cyclops bra as a giant slingshot. What? I'm only human. A human who wants to mangle children with a unibra.

Posted by: TMax at October 13, 2008 7:47 PM

Tina Fey glasses. It's original, subtle but scathing, and will deliver a fatal blow to her confidence after making her examine her own life and careers and the shifting definitions of "celebrity" and "parody" in modern-day America.
Posted by: Sabrina Thor at October 13, 2008 7:49 PM
Che Grovera & Pants
While I totally appreciate those suggestions, I'm a little offended that y'all would think I own any of that.
Kidding. I only take offense to pictures of celebutards.
I was thinking of more of a pro-feminism shirt, but I'm worried that the subtlety would be lost. But I'm worried that if I wear anything remotely resembling a statement of dislike, that I'll be carted off by the police.
I'm a wuss, you see. Plus, I just really want to see her speak up close. We had Bill Clinton her in the spring and I can't wait to make comparisons!
But the pageant dress idea really makes me laugh. I was thinking of going as Sarah Palin for Halloween (like every other Brunette with glasses) and that might be a nice twist. But I was thinking about wearing a hockey jersey and a pencil skirt, getting my friend to help me recreate the hair, work on my accent and rock my glasses. With lots of lipstick, natch. But pageant dress idea has that extra emphasis on her "experience" that I love. Plus, it gives me an excuse to get something FABULOUS from the thrift store.
But pretty much any political reference will be lost on at least 60% of my peers on this campus.
YAY!

Posted by: jM at October 13, 2008 7:59 PM
I'm only human. A human who wants to mangle children with a unibra.
How can I argue with that goal? One green eye patch and Cyclops bra, coming right up.
That will be $800. I accept cash, check, and sexual favors.
Posted by: Sabrina Thor at October 13, 2008 7:59 PM
As ever, don't give her any undeserved credit in frames taste. The woman rocks nothing. Get some shop class eye protectors, cut the lenses into squares and then connect it all back with some aluminum cut out from a can.
You've been flattering too, Sara Benincasa! The Kryptonian Council and I find you
Sweet, Lainey! I hope you're serious because I actually am unemployed, and a job would be dandy.
Posted by: Sabrina at October 13, 2008 7:30 PM
Completely serious SabrinaThor, provided that you weren't padding your resume and exaggerating about your headboob skills. I only have one position open and I'm in desperate need of a qualified and experienced headboob. I already have a resume from a "Mrs. Todd Palin", but so far, I'm not seeing anything that knocks my socks off.
Anyway, just send me your resume and headshot to Lainey at the internet dot com.
Oh Jay,. I should have clarified. I never said that she rocks glasses or commented on her sense of style (although I really can't fault her on that, her VP debate outfit was very classy). I said that I would rock glasses. I can't help but rock my glasses every time I put them on. I don't just wear my glasses, I wear the shit out of them.
Even when I was a kid and I had lenses as big as the palm of my hand with thin purple frames and a saddle nose band, I rocked the shit out of those glasses, too. My puppy dog vest is another story entirely, but I can rock some specs.
Which is why there is a local mandate that I can only wear my glasses a few times a week; too much more and that hotness wouldn't be able to be contained by this little town.
Posted by: Kayanne at October 13, 2008 8:14 PM
Kayanne, I recommend attending the event dressed as a Russian. You're bound to catch her attention that way.
Posted by: kalafraja at October 13, 2008 8:16 PM

Exactly. To complete an authentic costume you can't wear your own. You must wear unrockable crap.
That will be $800. I accept cash, check, and sexual favors.
Well, I have no cash and that pretty much voids the checks. Does going halfsies on a Costco drum of lube count as a sexual favor? Those things don't buy themselves.
Posted by: jM at October 13, 2008 8:29 PM
Dressing as a Russian? Good idea...in fact...it's super, kalafraja!
Now I'm thinking about how I would dress as a Russian, which inevitably led me to think about White Russians, which reminds me that I haven't gone bowling in awhile, and now it's occurring to me that I saw a previously unnoticed bowling alley on the drive home from work today.
Now I want to throw some balls.

Posted by: Tira at October 13, 2008 8:37 PM
Oh kalafraja what a nice idea.
Maybe I can find a T-Shirt with the Russian flag on it that says, "Won't you be my neighbor?" or "Foreign Ambassador"
But then I'd be accused of being a "Commie Bastard" and I am neither of those things.
And Jay, the point was I look hot in all glasses. But now the joke is dead.
...Dead sexy.
Ok, now I'm seriously done.
Posted by: Kayanne at October 13, 2008 8:55 PM
Save the unibra talk for the Max Payne review.
Marky Mark's character is seriously baddass, yo, and we all know there's nothing more badass than a unibra/slingshot.
Kayanne, you've far outscored your target for my lucious temptation tonight:
I'll see your thick four-eyes; raise you a heavy mouth-breathing, totally rocking geek w/ a front-pocket filled with only the coolest new ink-derived writing utensils, encircled around a crisp... tight..., yet not-too-ostentatious-but-supremely-subtle beige/plastique, warm and SOLID protector guaranteed to make you yearn in silent anticipation of our eventual co-mingling, of which I'm currently searching for a correct vocabluary to communicate this most basic, intense feeling of a middle-aged, bored office man who has yet to reach satisfactory adolescent feelings of--
but I digress, my sweet. Let me leave you alone... desirous... of my tantalizing pleasures that await you, my pocket protector and I.
And away I go!!!
Looking forward to your future "secret-love" messages to me, my sweet and newly-annointed stalkee.

Oh and I hate avocados. Why doncha just pile some cilantro and egg salad on my cheeseburger too? Don't lash out at me like that (and why oh why did I look at the picture?), I didn't have the day off either!
Completely serious SabrinaThor, provided that you weren't padding your resume and exaggerating about your headboob skills.

Sabrina, Reason I asK: Chick who used to work in my office (she got fired) had a uniboob. Seriously. They were so big they allowed for no separation, just looked like one continuous boob from left to right. I didn't find that nearly as attractive as the other guys did. Or maybe I was just turned off by the fact she was dumb as mutton.
And fuck McCain AND Obama.

smatt584>> You aren't the only one. Well, "masterpiece" might be a little strong. Being There is a very good film. It's probably a little old for the majority of this readership, though. Or rather, it's in that limbo age for films that most people were too young to watch and that aren't considered "classic" enough to have been in those lists of films that everyone feels the need to see in order to have their comprehensive "great films" knowledge and talking points.

Marra,
no, you're not the only one who likes True Blood. I wasn't sure at first (and I still think Anna Paquin is more Steel than Magnolia, and not in a good way either). But it's grown on me. I'm not sold on Bill as Hot Vamp Boyfriend (cause, not hot), but I'm loving most of the other characters. And the title sequence is awesome.
Yeah, nekkid Jason.......is very nice. I'm hoping for nekkid Jason's peen at some point. It's HBO, after all!
The Palin scores are fakes, as reported Friday. They're actually the scores of a blogger named Dawn Eden who had posted then in '04:
