  1. Whoopee says:

    Whoopee!

  2. Roben says:

    Fail? Win!

  3. Tom says:

    Saves time putting groceries away, just start the fire before leaving the store in the parking lot, shop, come out and drive your cart over the preheated fire. Seems like a WIN in efficiency.

  4. well thats a poor mans, BBQ.

    • dvlshDawn says:

      It only cost them a quarter. (It looks like one from a grocery store I saw once where you put a quarter in and then when you return the cart you get your quarter back.) Wait, if they take it back when they’re done cooking, they could still get their quarter back! lol!

  5. sj says:

    I’m sorry, but that’s pure win. Not everyone can afford a barbeque, and I think that was pretty slick.

  6. Dude says:

    I thought today’s hobos were starting to look far healthier!

    • Admiral Adama says:

      Notice there’s nobody around the shopping cart…

      plus they have a camera, so they maybe rich hobos

  7. CrapMaker says:

    I smell BBQ on shoping cart.
    Oh wait…..

  8. Beefcake says:

    win! eff yeah, next time i need a bush-bq i’m doing that for sure!

  9. dolt says:

    seems a resonable thing to do if you have the reascources

  10. Bogan says:

    That’s a 50c BBQ – even cheaper than the disposable ones

  11. Totally says:

    They are having a BBQ = WIN.
    When BBQ is the ends, any means are justified.

  12. SUOMYNONA says:

    Hey, whatever works.

  13. jj1910 says:

    Epic BBQ win! Meals on Wheels!

  14. cacapeepee says:

    first!!!!!

  15. Jhon says:

    Looks like a WIN to me. ^^

  16. CrapMaker says:

    “Today we will make BBQ on a shoping cart”

  17. stfu says:

    Chav Aga win!

  18. Rex Hondo says:

    Improvisation win!

    Fail if tried with a plastic shopping cart.

  19. Lol says:

    I think it’s a smart idea if you’re camping in the bush with no proper grill… and you have a shopping trolley…?

  20. limez0r says:

    it is a fine bqq

  21. Kaiser Steve says:

    yeah, although fail in that they had to pay a euro to get it!

  22. fuzzy on the concept says:

    BBQ a la carte.

  23. Willoughby says:

    I think it’s brilliant. Resourceful win!

  24. anonyman says:

    not rly a fail, its more a creativity win.

    ah, i forgot… FIRST, next is gay!

  25. teh_n1gz says:

    All to common in sunny SA :P

  26. Wolfie says:

    Hey, innovation win! I like it!

  27. dim says:

    Cannibals win!

  28. Daniel says:

    Total creativity and improvisation win. And if it cooks the food well, then it’s a BBQ win, too.

  29. Anon says:

    Yeah, agree that it’s a win. It’s portable, you can carry all your food in it, and at the end of the day, just return it to the mart you got it from for your deposit. No way is it a fail.

    • WeirdFish says:

      Apart from the fact that it has no wheels, the carbonization would be a big clue, and the conducted heat would start cooking the plastic parts….

  30. cinci says:

    that’s no innovation win, no creativity win and no improvisation win. at my university we’ve two shopping carts for bbqing. it’s usual in germany.

  31. Gobby Bee says:

    That’s a flame grilled winner in my book

  32. Rafael Sapion says:

    hoboQ

  33. KRIS says:

    Actually this might be interesting, the grill is more dense so meat will not fall into ashes. The easiest way to do a BBQ without BBQ:-)

  34. what, no bacon? says:

    Throwdown! Top that Bobby Flay.

  35. DanOhh says:

    I wonder if they will get their 25¢ deposit back from Aldi’s?

  36. Traroth says:

    It works, that’s the most important!

  37. sim says:

    holy crap that is genius

  38. Erin K says:

    I especially like how they can use the upper rack part as a food warmer. All in all it’s nicer than my grill. WIN!

  39. charles says:

    this is not fail, this is genius!

  40. Captain Obvious says:

    Gasman, stop sending us pictures of your back yard.

  41. evanbraugh says:

    Not a fail, not even in the slightest… it’s a preview of things to come. Pay heed, failblogians, for this is your future.

  42. Allexz says:

    Win :D

  43. WhatsForBreakfast says:

    So is that a pigeon egg omelet cooking on the barbie?

  44. stljoie says:

    As someone who has spent years doing homeless outreach… this is an example of why I respect the ingenuity and problem solving required to survive with next to nothing. Good job!!!

    • Kurt says:

      And as someone who was once homeless (High five to you joie btw) I would like to say, making fun of homeless people= Fail, Any of you, and I mean ANY of you could wind up there.

  45. Tron says:

    thats acculy, pertty cool.

  46. Lames says:

    I’ve seen some redneck BBQs, but this one is pretty f-ing awesome.

  47. Mich says:

    Definitely a win for necessity being the mother of invention.

  48. Mike says:

    This is definitely a win.

  49. ribeye, medium rare says:

    Well, it’s not a practical grill, the whole cart will conduct heat, the possibilty of burning your arm on the side of the cart is high. Also, I prefer mesquite over plastic for flavoring the meat.

  50. MJ says:

    Inventive to say the least

  51. foomanchu says:

    Actually, that’s quite ingenious. I’ll keep it in mind for grilling if/when I find myself in an post-apocalyptic America.

  52. Starlogic says:

    inginuity Win!

  53. Turquoize says:

    Failing FAIL. This is an ingenuity win.

  54. Coleman says:

    Hobo engineering win!

  55. DONT POKE THE BUNNY!!! says:

    you can cook in it and put all your camping stuff in it for a back-pain free camping trip, it will even hold the kids when there tired of walking. i want one i can take my stuffies in a monorail ride!

  56. john says:

    that’s actually win…

    you know, just kinda.

  57. SPCOsborne says:

    The next time I do a field exercise near a civilian area I will most definitely consider using that mehtod should anyone actually kill something (we can sometimes stun birds double-loading blanks* but that’s all we usually get to do).

    And for those who await the zombie apocalypse: That tip should be noted.

    *take 1 blank, fire it. Jam the casing as far into the muzzle/barrel as you can. Take another blank and fire it, causing the blank casing to launch out a distance.

    • Kurt says:

      wouldn’t that wreak havoc on the inside of your weapons barrel?

      • SPCOsborne says:

        Oh yeah, it’ll do that. The thing is we got so many M4/M16A4/M16A2’s lying about at this point that while at the unit level they still try to drill the whole “your weapon is an extension of your body” deal into your head, it ain’t that hard to get it replaced (your supply clerk may hate you, but usually nobody cares about him)

        • Kurt says:

          If anyone cared about him they wouldn’t have made him supply clerk right? Don’t take this comment as a declaration of my superiority (My superiority should go without saying j/k) but I don’t think I could bring myself to do that to any rifle. regardless of how numerous they are.

  58. Pie says:

    That is a win-win. Making do with what you have.

  59. Jar-jar Binx says:

    The quiche is a fail because the plastic above it is gonna melt and drip on it, but the toast on sticks resting on the side is a win

  60. dermorgn says:

    I gotta agree… this doesn’t look like a fail. In fact, it looks like a damn good idea.

  61. smuff says:

    LMAO!
    It’s really clever! Good job vagrants! yay!

  62. Kurt says:

    So, instead of “Fail” the caption should maybe be OMGWTFBBQ perhaps

  63. echec says:

    that metal looks galvanized
    avoid death by noxious fumes —-> fail

  64. UnluckyFriedKitten says:

    oh sh*t – I only just noticed the cunning (if slightly ambitious) slices of bread on pointed-stick toasting system. innovation-Win – Toasting-Fail :)

  65. Jorma Teräs says:

    Hahah, innovative ill say :)

  66. Reorae says:

    Now, if you notice the cart is one of those that require you to put a quarter in to get..Then when returned you get the money back.

    If he was really smart he would circle the parking lot taking the carts back and collecting change people always forget to get back.(I have seen people do this) Then he could have bought a meal.

    Either way, it was interesting.

    • Spartacus says:

      I’ve never seen people leave those carts in the lot. When your financial situation is such that you have to shop at a discount grocery store that has quarter deposits for carts, you return the cart to get your money back.

  67. Pescador_Gama says:

    I would use that instead of a BBQ if i had one…

  68. Xos says:

    Resourcefulness win.

  69. stromie says:

    1) Plate looks ceramic. No problem w/CFCs etc. from plastic meltdown.
    2) Does not appear to be 25 cent (U.S.) rent-a-cart. No problem with losing money
    3) If used intact cart, could protect rubber wheels and intensify heat by surrounding a **small** fire with a piece of lightweight sheet metal (used for flashing a gutter on a roof) — no coating, just aluminum, they actually charge like $35.00 for a portable grill that intensifies and contains a fire just as I have described. (Rt 10/Rt 46 intersection in Succasunna, NJ)
    4) Poor is poor. You do what you have to do with the resources you have at hand. Right now, my rent is **90%** of my joint income with my spouse. Nothing cheaper. Don’t ‘dis poor people — I don’t think anyone ever intended to be poor. Sometime your karma just goes that way.

    This is a WIN, not fail pix.

    • mgassman says:

      90% of your income!?!?

      Ok, lets do the math. You’re obviously poor, so you make minimum wage, along with your spouse. Minimum wage is $6.55 an hour, so lets say you and your spouse each work 40 hours a week. So…

      $6.55 x 40 hours a week x 4 Weeks x 2 earners = $2096

      $2096 minues income tax of 15% = $1781.6

      90% of that is $1603.44, which is what you claim to spend on rent.

      Money management fail. Landlord win!

  70. jake says:

    could this get anymore redneck

  71. pepsibookcat says:

    That BBQ is so a WIN! Homeless MacGyver!

    • UnluckyFriedKitten says:

      MacGyver would never be homeless , he’d have built a 2 storey house with garage (for the kart) in under 10mins with nothing more than a couple of acorns, an empty washing-up-liquid bottle, some twigs and his trusty swiss-army knife.

  72. cormacfan says:

    Best homage to The Road win.

  73. cormacfan says:

    Best use of The Road as post-apocolyptic survival manual WIN

  74. Ken says:

    This is not FAIL. This is EPIC WIN

  75. something slight says:

    that is not a bad idea.making something out of nothing ftw!

  76. fhf says:

    black forest? fhf? this picture’s way to familiar…

  77. walgreens says:

    This is not failing, this is succeeding to make a barbecue without a barbecue…

  78. Missioncat says:

    That’s not a fail…
    That’s a work with what you’re given win…
    Or a I’m stoned but still coherent enough to concoct a way to beat the munchies win…
    I’m not certain which.

  79. Ryan says:

    I fail to see why this is fail

  80. lostprophet says:

    How is this a fail?

  81. Ed says:

    This is a fairly common easy BBQ for students… (Not so much because they’re poor, but more like “’cause it’s cool”.)
    Only you have to put it upside down over the fire otherwise you have to reach into the basket of the cart, which will be really hot ofcourse.

  82. MentalFloss says:

    I don’t know if this is a fail, or ingenuity at it’s finest…

  83. Me says:

    Creative. I think, it’s a win!

  84. sayray says:

    THIS IS A WIN NOT A A FAIL! I LOVE IT! watch out for the melting plastic though!

  85. Inga says:

    I know this picture. It has been taken at some of a fan meeting of South Park fans in Germany. You might know the site http://www.planearium.de and it´s South Park Studio where you can create your own character (http://www.sp-studio.de/). So these guys weren´t homeless they were camping without the adequate equipment.

  86. CJG says:

    That’s more like a Win!

  87. MrDChE! says:

    that is a win!

  88. zero says:

    BBQ fail, Hobo Cookout Win

  89. jessyjess says:

  90. Courtney says:
