Pajiba Royal Wedding Drinking Game Rule #7: Drain Your Glass If You See A Corgi In A Hat

Morning my dears, I want to start today by sending some Pajiba Love to our readers who live or who have friends and family in the Southern United States. The South was hit hard by storms that have claimed over two hundred lives. Our thought are with you. (MSNBC)

I can’t wait to see who the nutbar Right Wingers blame for this particular natural disaster. Gays? Kenyans? That Alex Pettyfer sh*t? (Celebitchy)

Speaking of nutbar Right Wingers, have you seen the image of Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin? It’s freaky-scary accurate. Like, even more so than her Hillary Clinton look. (LA Times)

Ah, Caribou Barbie, my least favorite of all the Barbies. Check out these “Fine Art” Barbies that Mattel released. I appreciate the sentiment, but there’s something very disconcerting about blow-up doll-looking toys made to look like a Klimt painting. Also, seriously, WTS “A Starry Night Barbie.” (If It’s Hip It’s Here)

If you’re a “Doctor Who” nerd (my people!!), you’ll know why “A Starry Night” leads me to this bitchin’ NuWho Timeline. Thanks, Sadako! (Nathan The Nerd)

And while I certainly won’t kick up a fuss that none of the Doctor’s fetching companions landed on this IFC list of The Top Twenty-Five TV Roles For Women, I am fixin’ to have a major hissy at the exclusion of FNL’s Tami Taylor. Listen, I like Blair Waldorf, but Tami Taylor is in a league of her own. The Whedon-nerd in me, however, can’t argue with their #1 choice. (IFC)

I love love love that Buffy vs. Edward Cullen video they used in the IFC list. Can Buffy also kick the culo of this TWENTY-FIVE YEAR-OLD who sued his parents for withholding his allowance? LINGUISTIC SIDEBAR! How do you say “ass” in Spanish-Spanish? Culo is Latin American slang, right? (Neatorama)

Sorry for the lingual detour, my twisted tongues, I like knowing things. For instance, I just learned how to do a new thing with youtube links AND I learned that Octopusessesssess are super creepy, stealthy, badasses…badassi? (Youtube)

You know who is a badass, under appreciated actress? The lovely Melanie Lynskey. Her involvement in “Two and A Half Men” aside, she has great taste and has likely been in some of your favorite movies. One of THOSE faces. Here she talks with The Film Experience about filming Heavenly Creatures with Kate Winslet and Peter Jackson. I really love her. (The Film Experience)

Okay, the Royal Wedding thing is happening tonight (or tomorrow morning or however you choose to think about it). I’m sure Rusty will give you details in tonight’s column about where you can watch the spectacle. Listen, I know some of you are vehemently against the wedding, and I really get that. I know some of you are super excited about the wedding, and I get that too. To each his/her/its/their own. I’ll likely be watching just to play a Very Pajiba Royal Wedding Drinking Game, and so I can snark on some things tomorrow. If you want to boycott, feel free to do so. There is something to be said about the spectacle, though. Even if that something is “WHAT A F*CKING WASTE OF MONEY.” (The Big Picture)

Obviously I don’t do political satire very well or with any degree of subtlety. I’ll leave that to the experts at “The Daily Show.”

Aaaand, if you’re angry at me for even mentioning the Royal Wedding, here’s an unrelated video to soothe your ire before you get to the comments section. I tire of the ire.

Joanna Robinson wants you to know that if the Corgi is only wearing a fascinator, you may genteelly sip your drink instead. Email! Twitter!

Please forgive my insolence. I still love you.

(Oh, friend-o, I already did that Google search, I was looking for a more idiomatic answer that the internet (in its robotic way) sometimes can't provide--JR)

There's always good ol' "pendejo". For All Occasions.

Posted by: StoatCat at April 28, 2011 1:27 PM

My daughter, a proud ginger, is in her freshman year of college. The first print she bought for her dorm room was Vase with 12 Sunflowers by Van Gogh. We were disappointed that it did NOT say "For Amy."

Posted by: dammitjanet at April 28, 2011 1:29 PM

As if I would let common sense inhibit snarkiness.

(But yeah, upon a closer look all they really offer is the American-Spanish "culo")

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at April 28, 2011 1:32 PM

I've checked a couple different translators (BabelFish and OS X's Translator widget), and they agree that the Spanish for "ass" would be "asno".

I was hoping fro something with a little more flair.

Posted by: Groundloop at April 28, 2011 1:46 PM

Love, love, LOVE the Starry Night Barbie. That may be the best 'bitch, please' expression I have ever seen.

And I just lost 1/2hr to the NuWho Timeline. Why do you feed my obsessions so?

Posted by: Nobody's Little Weasel at April 28, 2011 1:47 PM

I think there should be some sort of distinction between the Pembroke corgi and the Cardigan corgi somehow...

Posted by: Jerry at April 28, 2011 1:53 PM

Seeing as someone else is still on this, here's what Wikipedia says...

Culo is the Latin American Spanish term for arse and the Iberian Spanish term for "buttocks". In El Salvador and Honduras, culero refers to a male homosexual, while in Mexico it refers to an unjust, unkind or insensitive person. The words cola and nalga are inoffensive equivalents to "buttocks". Vete a tomar por culo ("go get fucked in the ass") is an expression used in Spain, it's like vete a la mierda but more offensive, because means to wish whom is said to be sodomized, as "fuck off".

I believe asno refers to a donkey.

Fucking Buffy.

It never ends.

FEH!

Posted by: Jay at April 28, 2011 1:56 PM

Wait, no Tami Taylor, and no CJ Cregg? Fuck you, IFC, you are completely fucking wrong and your list is fucking STUPID. FUCK YOU IFC.

I rage on behalf of two awesome women.

Posted by: Figgy at April 28, 2011 1:57 PM

Also, "culo" is a good translation of "ass". "Butt" would be "nalgas". "Asno" is "Donkey/Ass".

Socrates, Wikipedia's an idiot. No one calls gay men "Culos" in Honduras. It's actually used as slang to describe someone who is really hot.

Posted by: Figgy at April 28, 2011 2:00 PM

CORGIS IN HATS!!!

Sorry, I got carried away there.

Posted by: MM at April 28, 2011 2:07 PM

Socrates, Wikipedia's an idiot.

Where's your citation for that?

Posted by: branded at April 28, 2011 2:12 PM

I believe it says they are called "culeros", though obviously I would be dumb to debate Honduran slang with you.

It also says some stuff that's consistent with what you put here, such as nalgas being a nonvulgar (or less vulgar?) word for the same body part.

I know Wikipedia can be unreliable. That's why any time I get info from there, I am certain to cite it. That way those who know can treat with the appropriate scrutiny.

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at April 28, 2011 2:16 PM

Ugh, apologizes for that first line, Figgy. It's the spiritual partner of the assholish, "...but you're the expert line," and that's not feeling I meant to communicate.

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at April 28, 2011 2:18 PM

No Zoe or Kaylee on IFC's list, or Julia (Dianne Carroll), Pepper Anderson (Angie Dickinson), or Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols)...therefore, I call bullshit.

Posted by: dammitjanet at April 28, 2011 2:27 PM

Check out these “Fine Art” Barbies that Mattel released.

Seriously? They released three of these, like, ten years ago that were supposed to be a series (Monet's Water Lilies, Van Gogh's Sunflowers, and... um, a third one) and nobody had an interest then, I assume, since the series ended after three.

Also, DAMN, Alex Pettyfer, you are a total c*nt, aren't you? Yes, let's get those out of L.A. indeed. I'll happily not pay to see your movies, if it helps.

Posted by: Anna von Beav at April 28, 2011 2:38 PM

Maybe these are my personal issues with Buffy coming through, but I firmly believe Mary Tyler Moore should have occupied that number one spot. She'll be my fictional homegirl till I die.

Posted by: beckster at April 28, 2011 2:44 PM

Like Alex Pettyfer, I too have a tattoo over my privates, but mine says "You're welcome!"

Posted by: jimbob at April 28, 2011 2:46 PM

Will there be a corgis at the royal wedding Tumblr and/or Twitter feed I can follow? That's the only part of the festivities I care about.

The Mona Lisa Barbie looks like Joan Collins.
The Klimt Barbie looks like the bride of Frankenstein.
The Starry Night Barbie looks like a fame whore.

Posted by: BWeaves at April 28, 2011 3:43 PM

Well, I've lived in Spain for a bit now, so I'll give it a whirl. I work in a primary school and a copper refinery, two of the most vulgar surroundings I've found myself in quite some time, and I'm pretty sure culo functions just fine. Although it doesn't seem to have the same degree of "vulgarity" as ass, it is a little stronger than something like trasero.

Posted by: coryo at April 28, 2011 3:52 PM

Socrates, Wikipedia's an idiot.

Where's your citation for that?

Posted by: branded at April 28, 2011 2:12 PM

Now, don't get me wrong, that was funny but I can't help thinking it would have been even funnier if you had just typed "[citation needed]".

Posted by: Ballymena Bob at April 28, 2011 5:24 PM

And Ballymena Bob just turned the atmosphere of Pajibaland from a metaphorical writer's room to a literal writer's room. (It is a good note, though.)

It's about time there are Fine Art Barbies. Now college dorm rooms can be even more lame.

Posted by: RobP at April 28, 2011 6:13 PM

I was always told Nalgas involved more leg than just butt. That whole curve thang.

If I got a small dog it would be a corgi. That's the extent of the energy I want to exert concerning the royal anything

and that music painting is

.. no there is too much

Dammit. Always go with your first instinct should be the moral (Redirected from Moral of the story).

a list of the best 25 roles for women on tv with Blair from Gossip Girl and without C.J. Cregg from West Wing and I'm supposed to take it seriously? I think not.
