There Are Plenty of Faces That Could Use A Good Photoshoppin' But This Ain't One Of Them

Who-Is-It.jpg

Oh, my sexy series and foynite sequences, did you think Pi Day was the only time of year to celebrate the unholy union of pastry and math? Did you think the Ven Pie-agram was as nerdelicious as it got? Think again, my flaky crusts. A woman in Seattle has invented the Sierpinski Hamantaschen. Do you not know what either of those words mean? That’s okay. If you do, Happy Day After Purim! (Seattle Local Food)

For any of you math nerds who did not just run to the kitchen to get your baking protractor, here’s a fun chart of film titles expressed as math equations. I…I only got one right, you guys. I hope you do better. (Slash Film)

Let’s take a few shambling sidesteps away from the nerdery to admire this collection of Lebowski tattoos. The Walter, Sam Elliott and, above all, Maude (my fav is below) tattoos are great, sure, but go through the whole gallery, because the last one will sort of boggle your mind, man. (Coed Magazine)

True story, this weekend some chick’s cell phone went off TWICE while I was trying to watch a movie and then I had to physically restrain my friend from hurling popcorn at her. If you’ve ever flung popcorn or Red Vines at a noisy filmgoer, then I recommend this piece by the hilarious Eric Snider on a particular SXSW screening. (Eric Snider)

But even Eric Snider, I think, wouldn’t ask us to sit silently through the scene in Twilight: Breaking Dawn where ROBERT PATTINSON GNAWS A BABY OUT OF KRISTEN STEWARTS ABDOMEN. Oh, I’m sorry, spoiler alert? (Total Film)

In other noisemaking news, DC had to shut down its message boards because an epic nerdlinger war broke out over the following question. Are you ready? Brace yourself for the controversy. “Who would win a footrace, The Flash or Superman?” Oh, comics nerds, come on, don’t make it so easy for us to mock you. (Geeks Are Sexy)

We Doctor Who nerds, on the other hand, are totally rational and level-headed and OMG, YOU GUYS, DID YOU SEE THIS FLIPPING AWESOME TARDIS INFOGRAPHIC? Ahem. It’s pretty cool. (Blastr)

In far less believable alien news, Sammy Hagar has claimed he was abducted by aliens. For real. If you think this information is going to stop me from ordering Hagar’s Tequila in bars, then you severely underestimate the joy I take in saying “Cabo Wabo.” (MSNBC)

I am jealous, though, cause if Sammy was abducted he may have gotten an even closer look at the moon. (io9) Or at the sun. (Discover Magazine) Seriously, you stare into that Sun photo long enough, it stops looking real.

And that’s what the folks at Rimmel must have done, right? Eyeballed the sun for too long and then decided it was okay to do this to Zooey Deschanel’s face? Oh, Zooey, Cotton would never have treated you so badly. (Evil Beet)

And what would Joseph Gordon-Levitt say? Well, he’s a little busy with this very cute fundraiser for Japanese relief. A debonair tip of the fedora to MissRoss for sending this link my way. (Hit Record)

Let’s adore the debonair Mr. Gordon-Levitt and the unaltered cuteness of Ms. Deschanel in this music video that may be old, but never tired.

And, finally, my clingy Klingons, it’s William Shatner’s 80th birthday! Hurrah. Shatner has brought so much joy into our lives from feisty interjections, to strange and unusual musical performances. Shatner has also been an incredible boon to impressionists (the humoredians, not the painters), but I like Shatner best when he’s alienating (eh? eh?) his fanbase. Happy birthday, Bill.

Joanna Robinson would drink all the Cabo Wabo Margaritas with you, gentle readers, whilst simultaneously admiring your Bill Shatner impersonation and your Donnie tattoo. What’s your frosty beverage of choice? Let her know here: godtopuswept@gmail.com or follow her @quityourJRob

Apparently, seattlelocalfood.com is more than my work blocker will allow.

For Purim every year, my (suddenly Jewish) family watches "Home for Thanksgiving"

I prefer my Shatner-ing backed with Ben Folds.

Phil Hartman you are missed!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at March 22, 2011 1:16 PM

Also. I'm pretty sure the Flash already won that race, but I'm not an expert on the subject.

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at March 22, 2011 1:17 PM

I sure hope the nerds demanded mathematical theorems and proofs to determine the winner of that race.

Posted by: Robert at March 22, 2011 1:31 PM

What is the point of hiring a famous face to represent your product if you're gonna photoshop the bejesus out of her face? Why not just hire some cheap model and photoshop her instead? Hell, you could make someone look like Zooey and probably save a ton of money.

I cannot WAIT for the first Breaking Dawn movie. I'm definitely going to see it in the theaters, so I can witness the reactions of all the Twihards when that cockamamie crap of a story hits the screen.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at March 22, 2011 1:46 PM

I just made that sun photo my desktop background.

And Flash would totes pwn Supes.

Posted by: Fracas at March 22, 2011 1:53 PM

Aw crap! My calendar doesn't have Purim listed. Oh well, I always used to make my Hamantaschen for Chanuka anyway, just because they're good any time of year. That Sierpinski Hamantaschen is awesome, but the only person who'd really appreciate it is my non-Jewish husband.

Math DOES suck.

I'm pretty sure this is the best Pajiba Love ever. Good job!

My baking protractor is in the shop. Can I use my braising compass?

Had the comic back in the mid '70s that put Superman vs. Flash. They TIED, though, depending what angle the judge was looking at the finish, one or the other appeared to win. They then had a rematch IN SPACE(!) This was a setup by some bad guy or another intending to kill them off.

That woman in the header picture is beautiful, but she isn't Zooey Deschanel, who is more beautiful by far.

Also, obviously, Flash wins. Otherwise, what's the point of having the Flash?

Posted by: RobP at March 22, 2011 3:30 PM

The Flash can outrun time, the constraints of this dimension, and Death itself.

Superman vs the roadrunner would be a better matchup.

Posted by: Craigilicious at March 22, 2011 3:44 PM

They made Zooey look pretty because she's not. She's really, really not pretty. She just looks like she should be. And she is maybe the most annoying actress on earth.

Posted by: stump at March 22, 2011 3:48 PM

Stump, sir, I challange you to a duel.

[slaps Stump with white glove]

Posted by: superasente at March 22, 2011 3:58 PM

i will be superasente's second in the duel with Stump..
Zooey is a much better musician than actress but she is by far one of the most naturally pretty women on this planet.

Mrs. J, you can borrow my graphing thermometer.

Posted by: coveredinbees at March 22, 2011 4:05 PM

That's why I love you baby!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at March 22, 2011 4:09 PM

That video of JGL has just made my life complete. The way to happiness is seeing that man dancing while wearing a suit.

Posted by: squeeziee at March 22, 2011 4:14 PM

But didn't Superman routinely time travel by going faster than light? Like Superman #61 (Nov-Dec 1949), where he goes back in time and learned for the first time that he came from the planet Krypton.

"..the unaltered cuteness of Ms. Deschanel.."

Oh brrrrrother

*eyeroll*

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 22, 2011 6:19 PM

Can we have a version of that video with her in black stockings, garter belt, and corset, or am I putting to much thought into it?

Posted by: clancys_daddy at March 22, 2011 6:53 PM

I think she has features you think are supposed to be pretty, blue eyes, pail skin, dark hair, but I don't think she has facial harmony. I find her unpleasant to look at. I think she is given way too much credit because she has blue eyes.

Posted by: stump at March 22, 2011 7:48 PM

I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen that She and Him music video, because it was so adorable it made me giggle.

Posted by: Rigby at March 22, 2011 8:04 PM

I don't know what I find harder to believe, that William Shatner is 80 or that SNL was at one time funny.

Posted by: John W at March 22, 2011 9:43 PM

I've been thinking this since I saw the Zooey shot earlier today - why oh why did they decide to try to make her look like Anna Friel?? It doesn't work.

On the positive side, Pajiba Love gave us not one but two JGL items :)

Thanks Joanna!

Posted by: faintingviolet at March 22, 2011 11:33 PM

All the men in my house know Emily is the hot Deschanel.

Posted by: , at March 22, 2011 11:37 PM

Squeezie:yes

and as always, JoRo, I thank you for the JGL (especially in video form). There is no such thing as too much JGL.
