Pajiba Love

Let’s kick Monday into gear with a motherfucking Bruce Campbell interview! Yes! (CulturePulp)

New York is looking totally fly this season, for a big ol’ pile of fake hair, fake eyelashes and silicone! (cityrag)

Dustin, in his capacity as a writer for QuizLaw, is getting his ass kicked in the Favorite New York Legal Blogger contest. Help a brother out, y’all. Do it for ‘lil Pajiba. (Sue Generis)

Here’s one of those rare, beautiful occurrences where the story and the punchline are the same thing. Have you heard the one that goes, “So Kid Rock walks into a Waffle House…?” (QuizLaw)

Ahhh, c’mon! Not all Boston fans are total assholes. In fact, I can even think of a few off the top of my head. (KSK)

Stacy Ferguson has never looked so “Fergalicious.” (Gallery of the Absurd)

Chez is back — yes, back bitches! First order of business? Pissing off Harry Potter fans. Good to have you back, old buddy! (Deus Ex Malcontent)

I suppose if your name is Peaches Geldof, random naked men presenting their junk to you is nothing outside the norm. (Agent Bedhead)

Ahh, I know I’m gonna catch hell for this one — but I didn’t think dudes could get pregnant? Heyoo! (IDLYITW)

Tara Reid, who was recently quoted to say that’s she’s not stupid and irresponsible like the other celebutards, has been hospitalized for liver damage at the age of 31. Karma, meet ass. Chomp chomp. (Celebitchy)

What are some books that make you laugh out loud? (Special Way of Being Afraid)

After the jump — Bill Maher will smite your ass down for heckling, and don’t think otherwise for even a second!

Ok, I can't click through to most of these things at work, so I don't know what the whole story is, but I must say that it is possible to be hospitalized with liver problems completely unrelated to drinking, since I was, and I don't.

I can't believe I'm actually almost defending Tara Reid.

Or that I squandered a first post position to do so. Sigh.

So the voting process is simple and easy -- point and click. At least Dustin has a pulse at 6%, which most of the candidates did not. I love voting for things that have no geographical relationship to me, e.g., Colbert's bridge.

Tara Reid looks like she's about 45. There's nothing wrong with that -- I loves me some 45-year-old McLovin' -- unless you're 31. Then you're fucked.

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at October 22, 2007 3:44 PM

I'm sorry, Pinkcheese -- I meant no disrespect.

But I think it's pretty safe to say Tara's medical issues stem from heavy alcohol abuse. From what it sounds like, she was incoherent when they brought her in, and afterwards she proceeded to go through withdraw.

Oh, that and her resume says, "Professional Alcoholic" under past job experiences.

Aw, thanks Stace. "Not a total asshole" has always been a title I'd hoped for.

No really. Thanks. (Even though the niceness freaks me out a little and makes me think that the pod people got to you.)

Posted by: TK at October 22, 2007 3:59 PM

No worries, litely. Seriously, I'm more disturbed that I actually felt compelled to write anything remotely kind about La Reid. I think I might be coming down with something.

Posted by: pinkcheese at October 22, 2007 4:12 PM

her resume says, "Professional Alcoholic" under past job experiences.

This actually works; I have remained gainfully unemployed for years.

When I cast my vote, Dustin was in third place behind Feminist Law Professors (sorry sisters, but Ugh! must you marginalize yourselves in that way? Surely most Law Professors are feminist and you can leave it to those who aren't to make a little clique to talk about their nails) and some other woman-based law blog.

Posted by: PaddyDog at October 22, 2007 4:42 PM

Even at an Al Gore speech, you get tasered for less.

"...And Cows disagree with me."
^^Awesome.

I love Bill Maher.

Posted by: Bucko at October 22, 2007 4:50 PM

I have to say, even as someone who's read the whole Harry Potter series, Rowling's outing made little sense to me. I wonder if it's something her editor forced her to cut in the last book and this was her little jab back. Whatever, it's still kind of dumb, but she's got more money than God so she gets to do whatever the hell she likes.

I can't decide whether or not I'm jealous of Peaches Geldof. On one hand the photo we're given makes that boy look fairly unwashed and greasy, on the other hand, I'm not working with complete information.

Posted by: Rusty at October 22, 2007 5:21 PM

I still hate Bill Maher. He seems like such a smarmy asshat. But he gets props for the smackdown, assuming it wasn't staged. And he always has good guests.

Dustin is in second place! Go vote! Go vote!

Posted by: greer at October 22, 2007 5:56 PM

Is no one else offended that such a great interview of The Chin was directly followed by ....by...a photo montage of New York? Putting such trashiness so close in proximity with him? How could you?!?!?!?!!!!

That is an affront to good taste that needs to be rectified immediately!

Posted by: Vermillion at October 22, 2007 6:06 PM

I just made my two minions go vote for Dustin on their separate computers, and he's in first place! No victory for QuizLaw, no Christmas bonuses, beeyatches! Go vote, go vote!

You guys rock! I'm kind of blushy and embarrassed, but I do appreciate the votes all the same. -- DR

Well, Pink doesn't exactly make a point of looking feminine, so it's just natural that snark might follow . . .

Besides, I ALWAYS seem to get her husband confused with Corey "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night" Hart.

Posted by: agent bedhead at October 22, 2007 6:56 PM

mmm...wafflehouse.

Posted by: wsapnin at October 22, 2007 7:12 PM

How could they leave out "Confederacy of Dunces"? How?

Posted by: Ve at October 22, 2007 10:28 PM

Dude, Waffle House's Ham n Cheese Omelets are awesome. Hashbrowns, too. And artery-clogging!

Why am I not surprised that Pink may be getting divorced? Call me old-fashioned, but something doesn't ring true when the woman proposes to the man. Sorry, I know most folks are pretty liberal around here, but I tend to skew conservative when it comes to marriage proposals. Also, I've always thought Pink was pretty. For someone who doesn't try at all to look feminine, she surprisingly looks more like a woman than some Hollywood starlets. Strange opinion, I know.

I'm so glad I don't live in a part of the country that has Waffle Houses. I was exposed to them in Florida, and I think it was IDLYITW that summed them up perfectly, as gas station bathrooms where you can also get food.

And speaking of celebrity blogs, I am done with Celebitchy. I was reading the Tara Reid article and was interested until I got to the bottom where the fucking National Enquirer was cited. I need my celebrity blogs to be at least as believable as People magazine, not a publication that still occasionally writes about aliens. Yes I understand the irony of what I'm saying and how pathetic it is, but I expect higher from my mindless entertainment.

I was going to vote for Dustin anyway and then you had to include a picture of lil' Pajiba.
Well that did it and now my uterus is pissed at me for not breeding yet. Yeah, TMI I know.
But lil' Pajiba is just too damn cute.
Congratulations on being in first place (here's hoping you win) and having such a beautiful baby, Dustin.

Posted by: jen310 at October 23, 2007 1:18 AM

Ok, I cast my vote Dustin -- looks like you're in the lead with 45% of the vote. I guess those other "lawyers" lack the necessary literary skills to write scathing and bitchy movie reviews to build up their constituency.

Well, that and a picture of a cute baby.

Posted by: Finn at October 23, 2007 1:35 AM

Point, Click, Vote. Got it.

Although your blatant attempt at emotional manipulation does not go unnoted Ms Salty.

On the subject of books that make you laugh out loud: I regularly do this, especially with Neil Gaiman or Christopher Moore who can regularly catch me off guard with a beautifully placed and absolutely hilarious line. In semi related news: I'm no longer allowed to read in the same room as my flatmates when they're watching somethin dramatic or meaningful on TV - apparently I "spoil the mood".

Psha.

Posted by: Alex the Odd at October 23, 2007 5:40 AM

Aww, how did I miss that picture of Lil'P before? My kid had a stork bite too. Excuse me while I wait for the mad cravings for another baby to pass.

hauling whimpering biological clock away to cast vote

Posted by: Erin MJ at October 23, 2007 5:40 AM

Heeee, nothing like a little grass roots populism. Dustin is up to almost 200 votes and taking 48% in a field of about a dozen candidates. Dats'a da smack-a-down-a!

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at October 23, 2007 10:08 AM

Lil' Pajiba??? RIDICULOUSLY CUTE! Oh, and good job on the voting, people. :)

Posted by: em at October 23, 2007 10:17 AM

Ve, Amen, Amen. That is a travesty. "A Confederacy of Dunces" is easily one of the funniest books I've ever read. It's also in my top five. Pure genius. I also love Walker Percy's "The Moviegoer" and "The Last Gentleman", in keeping with the NOLA theme.

Also funny: anything by Salinger. Gary Shteyngart's "The Russian Debutante's Handbook" is hilarious, as well. As for Roth, I love "Goodbye, Columbus." Funny and totally poignant.

Posted by: Samantha T at October 23, 2007 11:22 AM

Although I am not a fan of Tara Reid (dear God, no) I must point out that she has one thing going for her that puts her above the other celebutards: while Tara may be a raging alcoholic, she seems smart enough to stay away from vehicles while inebriated. Unless I am wrong, she has never been known to hit people/cars/objects with her car while driving drunk. She does not seem to change pets like she changes socks. Nor does she have any children to ignore.

Also, as far as I know, she has no sex tape.

So she's already two points ahead of Paris/Britney in my book.

Posted by: Siege at October 23, 2007 1:20 PM

I got looks in the restaurant I read "good omens" in, but I could not stop laughing when the Hell's Angels changed their names.

Posted by: Ellipsis at October 23, 2007 2:08 PM

Tara's another point above Paris for having the ability to laugh at herself; she played a boozing, partying lackwit with a generous sex drive on Scrubs. Compare that to Paris, who couldn't even fathom parodying herself on SNL.

Good job on the votes, people! Dustin's leading the pack with a very healthy margin.
