Pajiba Love

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all get drunk off sugar and puke a chocolatey mess. Now here’s some pop culture Jack-O-lanterns. (Pop Candy)

Let’s not forget about one of best parts of Halloween — tormenting the animals you love! (FourFour)

Oh, if you haven’t heard — Kanye West is now a brilliant author, his book will change the world and it will also outsell Shakespeare. (Webster’s Is My Bitch)

“Note to Jim and Pam: stop being such smug little jerks.” “The Office” mercifully ends its hour-long episodes. (wweek)

J Lo begins her deliciously inevitable spiral into obscurity. “Ding dong…” (Yeeeah!)

C’mon Republicans, just be gay for once. Not weird gay, or rehabilitation gay — just normal old gay. Oh, and while we’re at it? Please nix the retro-gay mustache, too. (QuizLaw)

Here’s a little graphic design humor. Because, it’s my thing — dammit — and I don’t subject you to it very often. And I had better hear laughing. (YesButNoButYes)

Who doesn’t love playing dress-up? The Top Ten Movie Wigs. (Film Experience)

You know, it’s pretty rare that we get a good Alan Cumming news item, so eat this one up! (Agent Bedhead)

In honor of the holiday, here’s your worst fucking nightmare, The Drool Monster, after the jump.

I am such a Halloween grinch. I can't stand the holiday, and haven't been able to since high school when I could still trick-or-treat. I resent the pressure and expense of coming up with a creative costume, or decorating my house in some ridiculous way (I can currently look out my front window at my neighbor's yard and see a very carefully decorated graveyard scene, complete with strategically placed colored spotlights, and smoke spilling out of the ground). I also don't agree with giving kids more candy that they need in a decade in one evening. But dressing up angry cats in demeaning costumes does give a bright spot to this whole blight of a holiday.

Woo-hoo, a little article on Alan Cumming. I just want him to be my best friend.

I also don't own/am never around cats thanks to my love for dogs instead and really bad allergies to cat fur, but...how did those cats not kill their owners? I was always under the impression that they'd cut a bitch. I know my dog won't even let me get a pair of devil horns on her head without clawing my eyes out (long story, but it's hard to say no to your little cousin who just wants to dress your dogup for Halloween).

Em - Cats can be a lot more docile than they let on. My cat would probably let us do something like that to her too, but she'd be plotting our eventual deaths the whole time.

My cats would tear me to pieces if I tried to dress them up.

And I'm with Katy - Halloween blows. I hate dressing up. In fact, I hate all aspects of "adult" Halloween. But I love love LOVE the giving-candy-to-kids bit. I think it's cute as hell, I can't help it.

Well, em, like dogs, cats come in a variety of personalities. While most cats faced with a "cute" costume would defend their dignity with extreme prejudice, there are many who are easygoing enough to go along.

However, in this particular case the answer is more straightforward: Winston is not a cat. Winston is some kind of defective feline miscarriage. Just look at it, for God's sake.

Ugh. Kanye West is talented and all, but I am so sick of him and his self-love/importance. Can't he just shut the fuck up, already?

Ah, Alan Cumming. Such a cutie, he even made Josie and the Pussycats decent. I could see him as a Martha Stewart type.

Why would you want to say no? They don't work, they lie around the house living off the fat of the land, snarling at the mailman while a burglar crawls in the back window. (I'm talking about our dogs, of course, not your cousin.)

The point is, putting reindeer antlers or witches' hats on 'em twice a year is the only real work the useless Wookiees have to do to earn their keep. Do I look like I need that goddamn tennis ball back? Don't we have 5,000 tennis balls in the goddamn garage? Until I figure out a way to put sandwich boards on them and get an eight-hour sit/stay on the corner, whoring out their "Bitches of Eastwick" costume photos to our relatives is the gig.

Oh my god, socalled... I'm... I'm... simply speechless with love right now. The feeling that I'm not alone in my canine non adoration is almost too much to bear.

If anything happens to Mrs. Socalled in the future you let me know m'kay?

Dammit. You delurked me with a graphic design geek link. Oh dear god. Maybe someone here can do dirty talk about bezier curves too.

That "make the logo bigger" thing is soooo six months ago.

Posted by: chickenboy at November 1, 2007 10:35 AM

Hey, you misspelled Pajiba in the video URL. (The 'after the jump' hyperlink.) It points to a link farm as a result.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Alex the Odd, let's not throw out the ginmill with the baby and the bathwater (who both, let's face it, had it coming). I do adore them, I just don't admire their work ethic. If you lived here, you'd be farming golden tumbleweeds of fur. (I'm not disinviting you, I'm just sayin'.)

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at November 1, 2007 11:37 AM

Ahem...

Well, well, well. If I had known all it took was a disdain for dogs.....

So, Socalled, will it be pistols at dawn, or do you have something else in mind?

FOR I DEMAND SATISFACTION!!!!!!!

Pardon us, ATO, while we argue over your future out of your presence. Also, don't read any of this.

So, V, have you seen her blog? I don't mean to traffic in insulting stereotypes, but she's a tattoo chick. What I'm saying is, I don't think it's necessarily an "either/or" situation, if you get my drift. Now, I'm not particularly possessive, and I'm confident enough in my masculinity to do what's good for the group, as long as it's also good for me. Really what I'm saying is, is there a way a salt-and-pepper team of a blogging fan of Japanese anime and a nondescript Arkansas cracker can get on a plane to London and take one for the team? Can I get a holla?

Okay, ATO, you can start reading again.

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at November 1, 2007 1:37 PM

Wait, you might want to skip this part as well, Alex.

Well, your logic is hard to refute. And she has put pictures of herself on the Net. You know what they say about THOSE girls. So as long as there isn't too much....how do i say this....overlap? I think we can work something out.

Okay, AlexTheOdd, you may continue.

Okay, no fencing. [*scribbles note to self*] I'll get on Expedia. Let's stay at the Connaught, I've heard it's decadent.

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at November 1, 2007 2:04 PM

I'll be offended, I promise, just the second I stop crying with laughter.

I have never been so disturbed by anything posted on the internet regarding myself ever. Ever.

That'll teach me to go back over old Pajiba Love posts.
