First five rants

[cleolinda]

For theatre_angel: Oh, Paris Hilton. Please. :-)

"Hi, I'm Paris Hilton. I first became famous for being rich, and then used my wealth to become more famous, which in turn... well, it didn't really make me richer, because my perfume sucks, my single tanked, and I spend most of what I earn on nose candy and tiny dog sweaters. As for my acting career, I am best known for 1) amateur porn and 2) a reality series in which my best friend and I desperately compete to see who can out-stupid and out-asshole the other. Not for money or anything--just to see if we can. I don't wear underwear, and I let the paparazzi know it when at all possible. [Editor's note: MY EYES!] I am selfishly hoarding massive amounts of fame that could be given to vastly more deserving people, such as that American Idol contestant who got booted in the first thirty seconds for being 1) tone deaf and 2) mildly retarded. No, the other one. No, the other one."


For robyn_ma: Cheese sculpted in the shape of Paris Hilton. :)

Only Paris Hilton would be so megalomaniacal as to order a cheese statue of herself. Even Michael Jackson stopped at giant metallic alloys. And what poor cheese would have to suffer such an indignity? Would we make one cheese bear the burden? Could you ask such a sacrifice of the noble cheddar? Would you so offend the delicate sensibilities of the sensitive Brie? Or would this atrocity be shared among many? And if you sculpted Paris Hilton piecemeal out of many cheeses, what raunchy Cheese of Disease would you possibly choose for her... You know what? Don't answer that. I don't even want to know. Jesus, people, what did cheese ever do to you? Cheese just wants to love you.


For luna_k: Give me a rant on the most overrated (in your opinion) Academy Awards nominee. Can be an actor, director, or movie.

"Hi, I'm Clint Eastwood. I make Very Serious American Movies About Very Serious American Things, including but not limited to murder, death, wrongful death, homicide, and old guys in space. Who probably die. And while that's great and all, this year I was nominated not just for Best Director for Million Dollar Baby, but also for Best Actor, knocking out either Liam Neeson or Paul Giamatti. (Look, you can't blame me for both of 'em. Cheadle's gotta take some responsibility here--hey! What do you mean, "He actually does more than squint gruffly"?) But you should vote for me because--hey, I've been squinting gruffly for something like two hundred years now, and I'm not gonna stop until I get an acting award. And while we're at it, I should clearly win Best Director (again), because I managed to pull a Best Actor performance from myself."


For peloquyn: Please rant for me about "netspeak."

[Adapted from something I said on the matter way back on... OMG, January 23rd of last year. That's three days away from being rilly, rilly freaky.]

Okay, look. I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand, so I'm going to speak slowly and make handpuppet motions in the hope that you will get it this time. On the internet, people cannot see you. Even if you post a picture, no one can prove that's actually you and really, I don't give a shit what you look like anyway. So, in lieu of a visual, your words stand in for your face. In a text-based medium, you are what you write. Typing like the syphilitic spawn of ee cummings and a crack monkey (omG im not a monk3y u r a stoop1d hw0re lOL!!!111!) is the visual equivalent of showing up for your school picture in red leather chaps, a dirty bikini, and a dozen infected piercings. So basically, like Xtina. You don't want that, do you?


For the_wanlorn: May I request a rant on... Computer speakers. Specifically, the cloth-covered ones (as opposed to the hard ones with little holes poked in the... hard stuff).

I dunno, man. I usually wear headphones, so I don't really know anyway. Well, I do have the hard hole-poky speakers now, on a bar mounted on my new flat screen (*cuddles*). My old speakers were cloth-covered, and... actually, they were punk-ass little bitches. By the end, they were shorting out all the time, and they took up too much space, and they were falling over and off the desk all the time, and--you know, you're totally right. DEATH TO CLOTH-COVERED SPEAKERS! FUCK Y'ALL AND THE CORDS YOU'RE ATTACHED TO! TO HELL WITH YOUR CLOTH AND THE STARVING INDONESIAN CHILDREN WHO WOVE IT! BITCHES. *spits*

I love you. Thank you so much. :-)

Hey, I do what I can. : )

*cuddles the poor cheese*

I'm sure no one would be cruel enough to actually do that to you. I'm sorry if cleo scared you. And rest assured that Paris will pay dearly for her insolence toward you, dear cheese. You will never have the indignity of being sculpted in her image whilst I'm around.

*is now dead from laughing*

Right. On.

Do you ever read the comic strip Queen of Wands? She has a couple of comics concerning netspeak that are just golden.

[ararejul.livejournal.com]

haha. omg i read the same thing and thought. they probably don't even know who ee cummings is and she is giving those idiots that are to lazy to spell (or hit shift) any credit for there lowercase ways.

[pjrampolla.livejournal.com]

I'm supposed to be doing my schoolwork, and it really hurts to keep my wild shrieks of laughter contained.

I seriously just choked. Dear God, woman. I suppose "Cleo's Rants" should be enough warning, but wow. Thanks.

[ruination.livejournal.com]

*dies from laughter* Those were hilarious!

FUCK Y'ALL AND THE CORDS YOU'RE ATTACHED TO!

*is dead from funny*

Lurve cleolinda. My... prrrrrecious.
(Okay, no idea where that came from. Your sense of humor makes my brain do weird things.)

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

Even Michael Jackson stopped at giant metallic alloys.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA. *wipes tears from her eyes* Damn, you're funny.

[phoebesmum.livejournal.com]

I sort-of like Xtina. Obviously, not like like, I don't want to be her bessie mate and borrow her lipstick 'cos I'm sure she's the cowiest cow around once Paris Hilton's dead and buried in a tiny little grave that only needs to be 1" wide; I just feel she deserves credit for being knowingly and artistically post-modernly and ironically skanky, is all.

That is what she's doing, right?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hey, I like Christina Aguilera. Just... her "Dirrty" Xtina persona scares me.

[lizzyrose89.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahahaha! Thank you for getting me out of my coursework-related coma. Those were fabbity!

*is having trouble typing due to laughing like a loon on loon tablets*

My rant about Million Dollar Baby.

[haleiwatown.livejournal.com]

OKAY. ANYONE SEEN

GIRLFIGHT?

Thanks.

Random IM snippet

[glimmer-glass.livejournal.com]

I figured, y'know, mention of M15M and breaking movie news. It's metatastic!

My friend: Did you see "King Arthur"?
Me: No, but I read the M15M for it. Does that count?
My friend: Whatevs. (*gasp*) Well, this guy (http://outnow.ch/Media/Img/2004/KingArthur/?i=movie%2E1%2F157%2Ejpg&w=1400&h=941) was just cast as Bootstrap Bill in the next PotC movie.

Holy crap, I was wondering whatever happened to Dolph Lundgren. teehee

Thanks for the Paris Hilton one! My hate for her knows no limits, and you summed it all up in one little paragraph!

*loves*

*snarf*

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

ROFLMFAO!!!!

Thanks!!!! :-D That was awesome and it made my day!

[genesisdesire.livejournal.com]

:half-dead from funny: I just interrupted my English lab. My professor is SO pissed.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Please tell your professor I'm sorry!

[dane20010.livejournal.com]

...

You are one of my heroes now.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

Oh my God. I think I just died... or at the very least, sprained some unknown muscle from laughing. I'm sure everyone in my school's library now thinks I'm a freak.

Write more. Please. I beg you.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hey, check the previous entry--I've got a whole list of rant requests. : )

[queenofattolia.livejournal.com]

I see another book on the horizon!

[p-tripp.livejournal.com]

Cleo, you rule with an iron fist of funny. :D

And while that's great and all, this year I was nominated not just for Best Director for Million Dollar Baby, but also for Best Actor, knocking out either Liam Neeson or Paul Giamatti.
(my bolding)
Wordy Mc-effing word! When I heard the Eastwood was nominated for acting I was all, "But why? Why? Someone please 'splain!"
It must be the squinting. Hollywood loves squinty types. Renee Zellweger, I'm lookin' at you.

[bakednudel.livejournal.com]

Cleo, you rule with an iron fist of funny. :D

OK now I can BWAH! at both of you!

*dies*

thanks for this...I'm feeling the hate toward CE today anyway so especially enjoyed it.

Looking forward to more...

[fairyfey.livejournal.com]

*giggles to death* XDD That is so funny. I'm supposed to be in study hall, and I just snorted really loud. Er..better leave before I get in trouble. XD

[sunihiroku.livejournal.com]

I worship the Clint "I Squint" Eastwood rant...
