One of you kind souls, who wishes to remain anonymous, sent me this picture of “India’s Brangelina“, because you were hoping we might play The Caption Game with it (ji, thanks!). Absosmurfly! What better way to draw off-topic commentary away from the Maximum Nerdery thread? 😉
Without further ado, let’s get snarky. To the left we see Abhishek Bachan and his bride strutting down the red carpet at Cannes.
Most of you are aware that Aishwarya is sometimes known by the unwieldy acronym TMBWITW. Well, now that she is part of a pair, I propose that her hubby get an acronym, too. It’s only fair, right? Damnit, I don’t want to propagate the hegemony of the pasty. Err, I meant…it’s only dark? Whatever.
How about TMFHITW? I’m sure you can guess what the third and fourth letters stand for, but in case you haven’t had two cups of coffee like I have, I’ll spare you from wondering– FH = fugly hair.
Unless your name is Esthappan and you’re rocking a puff, COMB YOUR HAIR. I’m guessing Abhishek get it from his Mama? Big Daddy Amitabh’s tresses seem a bit more manageable. Anyway, the entire point of this debacle of a post is to offer you tired, grumpy, three-day-weekend-missing mutineers a chance to play the caption game! You know how we do, and if you don’t, check out previous editions: ein, zwei, drei, vier, funf…
So, just what is Aish saying? What is her spouse thinking? Why are there suddenly so many Tamil people on SM? The answers to all this and more, will most probably not be found below, not that you’re disappointed at that. Now get to captioning!
yup. thats how it usually works…
RE: madhuri dixit
i admit i’m not at the top of bollywood gossip (i can’t think of other indian celebrity examples of overbearing in-laws right now), but i always heard she was unhappy in her marriage and her husband was a jerk, etc. but i do admire her a lot, so if she actually wanted that, good for her. and yeah she’s making a comeback in the aptly-titled (for such an amazing dancer) Aaja Nachle
if it’s any consolation puli, i think that’s pretty idiotic of them… they’re gonna have neck strain unless they wear high heels 24/7, in which case their feet will suffer
Just how tall or short is the puli?
5 foot 5. aka, in my model of behavior, very little i can really do, except make like $1.5 a year.
i would also advise joining a gym (your body is a temple!). i have one more piece of advice but considering that you think i’m a ‘kiddie’ it would probably be pretty weird to mention. 😛 though i’m sure you can figure out what i’m getting at here.
Shame! SHAME! Enough, you naughty little monkeys!
Ah Puli… here is a plan for ya… move to Sunny Cali near me, I’ll keeping pulling your leg(s) and you will blossom to a 5.7 🙂
i already do that. im in decent shape.
dont mind advice from the young uns. not sure what ur getting at though.
Good. Chamatha (sp?) kids wouldn’t. Chee!
Are you trying to seduce me?
Got here very late, it seems..
TMBWITW: Me, your trophy wife? There, look, you hobo, that is the drug store. Go get that Fusion NOW! And get a pair of Fiskars while you are at it. I am sick of throwing up fur balls and the Gillete won’t work everywhere either without help.
TMFHITW: Quit nagging me, honey! Not in front of all these people. Let’s get back home and discuss this with Dad first.
Ohhh.. so my pot belly is all good then? Yaay!
a.) We are here because we are there and everywhere else.
b.) We (us Tamil men, including those damned Tamil I-Bankers) are here because there seem to be a lot more funny, intelligent women HERE than we could find on Rediff’s message boards.
c.) We are here because we can.
Ich bein ein Chennai-vasi or something like that!
damned already….that was fast.
@ 111 – the desi seduction song..
Are you going to Secunderabad fair? Parsley,sage, sadhu and grime… Give my cow to one who lives there, she once was a bulbul of mine ..
time for me to be a good beta, and go to school. gnight all.
ein = an, and eins = one.
However, the usage omits the ‘ein’. If you put it in, the meaning can change: Ich bin ein Berliner = I am a jelly donut; Ich bin Berliner = I am from Berlin (a Berliner)!
schprechen sie deutsche, uncleji? (ive always wanted to say that)
Sh*t! twice!
Anantha, you are such a nOOb!
…and an impatient one, at that. Fixed.
a berlin tour guide told me that they still put an american flag next to the donuts in german bakeries 😉
Nice.
How about ‘Ich bin ein Springfielder’?
ak, when I was in Berlin everyone I met had to tell me about the JFK-Berliner-donut slip-up…jeesh!
Anantha, I like version 2 better ; )
Oh, for the Aishwarya-philes out there, the most delectable portion of the body are the back rolls–the beginnings of which you can see from the side. Sweet, sweet back rolls.
getting back to the point: Dude needs a high-fade Caesar and shave–at this point it looks like Mummy gave him the flowbee haircut for his first day in kindergarten
Aish: Look Abhi there’s Madhavan! I should have ended up with someone like him 🙂 Abhi: Whatever! Ash baby!
Us Tams are here because we love to raise and support a good cause! 🙂 Madhavan for TMHMITW…(Handsome Man)
Now don’t go knockin’ the flowbee.
As for the shadow, I think the man is trying to pull off a Sendhil-look.
blinks once, twice and thrice, looks left and then to see if there was someone else next to him
Bess, you mean version 2 of MY comment?
clears my throat and adopts a deep, self-confident voice How you doin’? 😉
Hey most Bollywood actresses aren’t toned anyway. (Neither are most Hollywood actresses actually, not even the scary skinny ones). I appreciate that in India at least they still appreciate a normal BMI range, ESPECIALLY as shown on the belly/back/hip area. Have you seen how those guys worship the hips in southern film songs? They go crazy for the belly, and for the booty. (And the bosom).
I feel like I’m turning SM into a dirty place so I won’t go into details on the advice I had for puli. But basically, confidence + sensitivity = good.
Nallarikke…wink
Dirty? In the words of a philosophical Tamil (fictional) dude from Kodambakkam, “Infaarmasion is wealth-u”!
oh man anantha, now you reminded me of this old tamil man that would always talk to me on the bus and brag about how he could speak umpteen different languages (he surprised me when he started speaking to me in telugu). he got on my nerves soon though. sometimes, too much information can be bad.
Caption:
I never leave home without my evil eye remover.
a year or so ago, a bombay newspaper ran an entire article on her backfat in a dress she wore at cannes. i was truly mortified for her.
Old Tamil men are like that, I think. I think all of them have subconsciously married to the Old Lady of Mount Road. All that angst from the editorials should be alanced with the trash from TOI. Fair and balanced opinion, that mix would beget!
Bess-u: Nallarikke-ya? Sooper wink wink.
Idhu eppadi irruku? 😀
in this day of high-definition tv and ubiquitous tabloids, I’m so so glad I’m not famous.
menshun not..i never learnt the verdammt language either..but being in a country where they speak it helps..as fer more deutsch vocabulary – leo.org or freetranslation.com are quite decent.
oh yess, the “ich bin ein Berliner” has to be told in such detail to every American..alt Deutsch tradition :p
nice trail:ex-miss.world->damn she landed hot guy->all that hair->love handles and dough-grips->desi seduction song->i’m a jelly donut (luvly transition!!)->besh besh!!
On second thoughts, that might have been a tad bit insensitive both towards old Tamil men (come to think of it, am I old enough to be termed “old”, I wonder) and the editorial team at The Hindu. Though some might claim that the paper has mostly leftist leanings, this is still the paper that broke Bofors, before Al Gore invented the internets and way back in a time when the Senator Ted Stevens still knew his way around tubes!
Apologies to all my fellow members of the universal biratherhood of Tamil men, old and young. Filter kaapi and The Hindu, they both rock!
pray tell… when did we ever get into that line of thought?? ;P
kishnaayil: Nice nick! 😀
Now, nala….I have to know what you were talking about.
BTW…I figured out how to post on sm on the road…now I’m an unstoppable addict!
fine, puli… #2
OKAY Nala.. you ARE no kiddy!
Too be honest, I was not sure where you were getting at, but now I do. Though now, I am wondering how you got there!
Hmmm….
So that’s why I get love from Indian men! Awesome.
Errr…I’ve actually gotten a lot of ummm….errr…positive feedback in that department. Consistantly. Not something I shy away from.
I always loved the status of women you’d find in Indian restaurants… the waist-hip ratio is pretty insane.
haha ok puli, that’s good to hear. 🙂 it takes some maturity to get to the point where you even care about that though. most guys my age are such turds, and then when you add repressed desi upbringing to that! well, it’s not pretty (no matter how good-looking they are).
umm status = statues.
i really thought TMFHITW meant “the most fortunate husband in the world” … though i am no fan of TSMBWITW (you can figure the “S” out on your own).
yay tams.
i thought ANNA was originally gonna go for the most fugly Husband (as opposed to hair) in the world
I’m not THAT mean, y’all. Besides, he’s tall or something. 😉
Sometimes it’s the most outwardly repressed guys who surprise you… in a good way… hee.
