Evan: He had me at “Rap Rap Rap Rap Rap…”

Evan: Here’s your happy Thursday video of the Biebs just cold running into a fucking revolving door.
i can’t figure out who to attribute this quote to, let me know if you know!
Those damn hamsters upset the 2004 election.
I’m likin’ where this is headin’…you pickin’ up what I’m puttin’ down? - Adam
Evan: I primarily love this because it’s fun to imagine the reactions of the people who would be offended by it.
This is the flag E is bitching about in the previous post. I might have a new thumbnail… hmm…
Evan: Here is some more music, until Adam and I have a conversation about something pressing like boy bands again. And really, there is nothing like Joni Mitchell.
Joni Mitchell, For The Roses
“Oh the power and the glory
Just when you’re getting a taste for worship
They start bringing out the hammers
And the boards
And the nails”Listening to this song it occurs to me that it used to take a lot longer for artists to get to the point in their careers when “what does it mean to be a famous artist?” would stop being the subtext and start being the central theme of their work. (The subsequent phase is “jazz, and let’s all worry about global warming and strange diseases” if we’re going on the Joni model). Nowadays, of course, self-reflexive musings on metafame start cropping up around the time of someone’s second Gawker post.
It also occurs to me that Joni is a hilarious and brilliant lyricist, playing with that tension of “I’m comparing myself to the crucified Jesus, or, come on, that’s ridiculously pompous, I’m making a joke about comparing myself to Jesus (but at the same time I’m actually still doing it.)” It’s about a million light years away from “the way things are going, they’re going to crucify me,” although, well. Also: “I know I seem ungrateful with my teeth sunk in the hand/that brings me things I really can’t give up just yet.”
John Kelly does a wonderful version of this song.
Evan: Why is Paul Provenza following me on Twitter? (NOT THAT THAT IS A PROBLEM.)
Adam: I have no idea. I believe his name means “touched by an angel” in Italian.
Evan: Most Italian words translate into “touched by an angel,” I believe. This is why Della Reese becomes so flustered when she is in Florence.
Adam: ”I’m just sittin’ here tryin’ to eat my gelato, child!”
Evan: Anyway, so this Paul Provenza character is on the Showtimes! He was the producer and director of The Aristocrats! And he looks nothing like Della Reese, who, trivia time, was born with the first name “Delloreese.” That is where it comes from!
Adam: Where what comes from? The expression, “Oh, Delloreese!”? As in, “Oh, delloreese! I must’ve left my Snackwells in the cubby!”
Evan: Dellofuckingreese, Tiffany, Snackwells are food, not love.
Adam: Stay out of my cubbeh, Tiffaneh.

Evan: Please go listen to this right now. And I’m not a “remix” kind of person, but that’s what you’re getting, because I cannot stop listening to it today. If you’d like to hear the original, go here.
A piece:
“This is not the sound of a new man or a crispy realization
It’s the sound of the unlocking and the lift away.”
Bon Iver - Re: Stacks (Tomas Barfod Remix)

More funny later.
Adam: So, Scott Baio’s Twitter meltdown and his wife’s subsequent branding of the Jezebel bloggers as “lesbian shitasses.”
Evan: I’m really impressed with his excitable trailer trash wife.

Adam: I enjoyed her choice of insults. “Lesbian shitasses,” “cuntness,” & “classy piss.”
Evan: And the reaction, from the Salon piece: “I’ve been meaning to talk to the ladies at Jezebel about their lesbo cuntness — and how it stacks up against Scott Baio’s piss.”
Adam: “You know, that doesn’t exactly say ‘My piss is really classy.’” Ha!
Evan: Right. Because in all my days of watching Charles in Charge as a child, I was thinking “Whatever else is the case, that is a man with some classy piss. Far more than his friend Buddy, at least, who is always late.”
Adam: Yea, well Scott Baio wasn’t as full of classy piss back then. He did fuck Pamela Anderson, after all.
Evan: Did he? Gross. I’m guessing his piss got classier when he met “Renee.”
Adam: Yea, he was like the first “famous” guy she let inside her.
Evan: Haha, yeah right. Her demeanor screams “Screech Powers’ Sloppy Seconds.”
Adam: Because Dustin Diamond, too, is filled with classy piss. Did you see that Stephen Baldwin article?
Evan: Yes, ever since he gave his life to Jesus, his career has taken a very shallow nosedive, and now he’s bankrupt. This is all very obviously “sad.”
Adam: And now he needs us, rather than god, to provide. He should’ve just made Bio-Dome 2.
Evan: WHERE’S UR SKATER GOD NOW, JACKASS?
Adam: I didn’t realize it until yesterday (because I never actually WANTED to see this movie), but Stephen Baldwin has a cameo in Fred Claus, playing himself, that’s actually pretty funny.
Evan: I’ll file that away for future reference.
Adam: Yea. Save that one for a rainy day.
Evan: Um, yeah. The only good thing about Stephen Baldwin’s bankruptcy (besides the fact that everything about it is hilarious) is that Alec will probably make fun of it in public at some point.
Adam: I hope he does, as Alec Baldwin has never been better.
Evan: Haha, so I just realized something about the Restore Stephen Baldwin thing, though. Isn’t that what they call it when guys decide to, well, restore their foreskins? Maybe that’s what this is about. In which case, I wouldn’t be all that surprised at the way he’s going about it. Also, he’s comparing himself to Job, which is just pathetic.

Adam: Wait…you can restore your foreskin?
Evan: I think it’s possible.
Adam: Like the nerve endings too?
Evan: I don’t know about that part.
Adam: These are questions you have to ask, Evan. If there’s a magical operation that’ll make sex feel even better, then I need to know.
Evan: I don’t think it’s a magical operation. More of a sustained undertaking.
Adam: Well, I require immediate gratification at all times, so…I guess it’s not for me.
Evan: Nah.
Evan: I haven’t listened to this song in far too long.
Adam: That and “Backstabber” are my two favorite Dresden Dolls songs.
Evan: I honestly love everything she touches.
Adam: So…Neil Gaiman’s penis?
Evan: I said “everything,” right?
So I saw Eclipse. Here is my review, presented in my patented bulleted style for your reading pleasure. Spoilers ahead, etc.
I think this is my spirit animal.
I know right? Facebook should add “said something completely fucking stupid” to their list of reasons people can be reported and have their account...
