pink?
rubber fist? slightly used? pink taco? one size fits all? those are the real questions
I wonder how much it costs..
Other online blogs suggest this is a viral ad for the Pink Taco restaurant chain — calling the number reportedly invites a get together at the restaurant to discuss the fist.
( May also give folk ideas about how to make a pink taco. )
I really hope this viral ad campaign works and the guy gets rich.
Hand of Mid-ass ?
a viral ad for a viral carrier. double the virus for your money, how could you lose?
HAS ANYONE CALLED THIS NUMBER YET?
You did. Remember? You told me about that awesome slightly used rubber fist you bought after too many margaritas.
Win.
for the curious, the number is 3103581703… google it and you see that it is the number of the restaurant “pink taco”…
i think the “minimal stains” is the biggest of issues…. or maybe its the fact that a handful of number slips have already been taken….
A handful, you really choose the right words on this one..
I have serious reservations about purchasing a “slightly used rubber fist”. My imagination can take me to places I don’t even want to think about with this. Unfortunately it also appears that someone is interested as there are missing pull tabs. So it is reasonable to conclude that someone, somewhere wants a “slightly used rubber fist”, regardless of the implications of where it may have been.
NO! You’re kidding? Everybody wants a rubber fist with stains!
“it is reasonable to conclude” – geez, you don’t even use conjunctions,
are you TRYING so hard to sound intelligent to cover something?
Over-analyzed moron alert. (serious reservations? duh)
Nice try, a conjunction is a word that joins other words in a sentence together, such as the word “and.” Your punishment for an erroneous comment is a stained and slightly-used rubber fist in the ass and/or pink taco.
Ooh, goody, ignorance! The above poster got off to a good start, but let’s see what else we can do with this one.
1) “You’re kidding” – generally used in the declarative sense, not interrogative.
2) “so hard” – try rephrasing, awkward sentence construction can confuse the reader!
3) “Over-analyzing” would be more appropriate in this setting; accusing the writer of being over-analyzed doesn’t fit in with your theme.
4) I am forced to conclude your name is to serve as a warning about the comment it precedes.
Someone must be interested because there are some of the number slips missing.
thank you so much for reiterating exactly what i already said in different word order. that really clarifies it thanks….
Probably came from the Department of Redundancy Department.
No, this came from the department of weird Southern Californian people department of weird people from Southern California.
i live in southern california. san diego are tho…. apparently i should visit LA more often. sounds a lot more interesting
Are San Diego tho less interesting than are L.A. tho?
dammit, i meant area*
i lose.
Stay in San Diego, I hated LA and I was only there for a week.
so that means you’re San Diegan?..
Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?
In the Sandy Eggo.
Speaking of strange Southern Californians… Ever been to 29 Palms…? YIKES. Someone definately pee’d in the gene pool here.
*fake
Not redundant at all.
I apologize. I missed your post earlier. I will gladly give you credit for saying it “first”.
wonder if (he?) ever actually sold it…
No she didn’t.
Call the number..
310-368-1703
just tried. it’s not in service at this time.
“Serious buyers only please”
Are they serious?
It says they are right there on the flier!
well really how do you know you don’t really need it until you try it?
You forgot the part about “minimal stains”……….
i wonder how many calls this number got after it was posted on fail blog. my mom called it lol.
“one size fits ali” WIN!
I knew i left that somewhere!!!
Nah, that’s not yours. Your mom told me yours was in her room.
We had great fun with it though, thank you.
Anything that i can do to help, after all, i know you cant satisfy anyone without assisstance. just wash it off next time
*Anything that I can do to help, after all, I know you CAN’T satisfy anyone without ASSISTANCE. WASH it off next time.*
Spelling/Grammar FAIL.
Me not caring because its 3 in the damn morning.
11 hour overnight shift = Social life Fail.
Whats your excuse?
Drunk.
drunken failblog? Aleblog?
Nicely done…
Failgrog.
jocks have bar brawls
nerds have textual harassment
That depends on the context though.
i happen to be protext myself.
look we all like a good texting now and then, but sometimes it can just get out of hand. friends don’t let friends drink and text.
sometimes no means no!
or on, but T9 won’t stand up in the internet courts!
Seriously, who gives a crap in a baseball hat ?
Haha, i told you you couldnt satisfy a woman, and you are defending
me, confusing loyalty WIN!
You’re just jealous because I’m seeing someone else.
My baseball hat smells.
At least it matches your handbag now.
This “Grammar fail” comments are getting old very fast. I mean, if you cannot come up with a clever retort, just refrain from making a comment.
I’d defend you too… Snap snap, grin grin, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more?
I meant THESE “Grammar fail” comments. Auto-fail.
Self-pwned!
Quite!
hShhh!
The scariest part of this… is that people actually tore off the phone number strips… O_O
Of all times to start out with first or fist, yall dont choose this one? the one time it would have been funny. what an ironic and dissappointing FAIL.
Damn, that would’ve made me lol’d and perhaps spewed liquor out of my nose for the fist time.
appears your nose can hold its liquor
lmfao!!
How innocent, how sweet…
No school today?
memorable pwn
i’ll think of you next time i’m remoniscing about my own lost youth
*remonstrates*
remonstrates? *masturbates a monster* Is this how one “monstrates”?
Again though.
and with more protest and ennui
How stupid can anyone be to think honestly, that someone with real intentions will respond to this silly offer? I mean, really… what the f**k…
… but I LOLed…
i’d have bought it if it didn’t say “minimal stains”
it’d get a laugh at a party
depending on the party, i think it’d get more than a laugh
I really hope you’re not thinking of a 5-year old birthday party :[
I am now. *Fap Fap Fap Fap*
LOL. win.
…or not. I can’t decide.
Sure you weren’t before?
I rofl’d
what would be the significance of selling a stained rubber glove?
while on the other hand you dont normally find rubber fists in convenience stores.
You do see them in stores that are inconvenient and often awkward to be in.
this comment made me laugh for like 10 minutes_ epic win!
h0t
Looks like a gag to me. They probably put someone else’s phone number on the poster. Actually, you can make out the number so perhaps we should ring and ask.
Fist…gag…whips…really, it’s all for the same purpose.
Fist!
Well tweak my nipples and call me Judy, state the bloody obvious why don’t you!
You’d like that, wouldn’t you?
Well that’s why I asked…
Well, Judy, see you tomorrow, the usual time. Bring the lube.
Sweet, so the 25th hour? I call you on the fail phone, but alas I don’t have any lube…will ho-made BBQ sauce suffice?
multiple previous-fail references win!
Burn of the week material.
this wasnt even a burn you dumbass
No it was merely a confirmation of a meeting
But you have confirmed a meeting without me! *sobs*
Can I come too Judy?
Oh ok then, the more the merrier.
(Comments will not fist on the level below this fist)
Depends on how hot the Barbeque sauce is.
It was ho-ly hot, kind of burned a little
^o__O^
Eh, probably just some idiot who’s seen Borat too many times (which means once, or twice if the first time was involuntary) and thought this would be a hilarious joke of some sort.
Right, because “Borat” went around the U.S.A. plastering cities with his “Slight;y Used Rubber Fist for Sale” signs. Reference fail.
Curses! Spelling fail.
Every time you make a spelling fail, you make a mattress monkey cry.
I don’t think he needs a spelling fail to do that.
Not a direct copy-cat, obviously. But someone who thought the retarded rubber fist bits from the movie were funny would probably think that something like this was funny, too. The people suggesting that this is viral marketing for “The Pink Taco” are probably right, but I bet the idea to use a rubber fist as part of it came after watching that movie.
fail & fail forever..
were up in a tree, fail fell down and who was left?
Your usual behavior.
He should give away some poppers as a bonus.
Notice how some numbers are already taken.
Some day, I hope Failblog returns to when it mostly featured things that were not shoops.
hmm, now if I had a penny for every one of these adds I’ve seen on campus…
You’d still be completely broke?
What a totally thrifty, scheming little cheap bastard, collecting pennies like that, off innocent college campuses. Pleh. more like, still a penny stealing meiser. LEAVE THE COLLEGE PENNIES ALONE!
miser*
If I had a penny for every one of these ads I’ve seen, I’d own more slightly used rubber fists.
And several more STD’s.
Everyone who mentions the fact that there are some numbers taken away is ghey from now on.
Didn’t you just mention it?
R U trying to PWN me?
*Are you trying to pwn me?*
Hush. The little Porka doesn’t need help getting pwned. He’s nicely pwning himself. The poor guy and his rubber fist loving ways is just trying to come out of the closet and not tell anyone.
*Am I trying to pwn me?*
I did mention it.
He’s insisting on it lest some people realize he’s one of those who took them.
.
.
The bigger it is, the better it passes.
Sick joke.
… even if I didn’t get your first sentence at all.
What if they took them away? Then they’d be ghey anyway.
DUDE!!! WHY DOES THIS PIC SHOW THE PHONE NUMBER???
HAHA!!! PRIVACY FAIL!!!!!
So what do you do when you want to sell something? Just ask people to search on FailBlog for the most over-punctuating person there?
Caps Lock, 1, / and shift key FAIL
that’s not a shortcut it doesn’t do anything!!!!!
because half of failblog users just put the first girl into their contact list…and the other half want to buy it…except for me of course because im normal
Fail? Do you actually mean “first girl” or do you mean “fist girl”?
Rubber fist. Out of curiosity, I wonder if she could stick her whole hand in it; then again, maybe I don’t want to know.
If you had to ask, you probably want to know, pervert.
It stands to reason that if you want to know, you ask. However, you probably can’t afford it.
Or, if you can afford it, you could be asking just to see if others who could not afford it knew whether she could or not because they are the she that he would be paying to see if she can put her whole hand inside it.
and my mind has been blown.. wow!
“slightly used” means he woke up with the thing halh stuck up his arse? How does that work?
“minimal stains” How the f*ck do you get minimal stains on a rubber fist?
Anyways, I wouldn’t buy a “slightly used” rubbed fist if I was into fisting arses… which I’m not (Just to prevent any vague desire for burning me)
Major spelling fail! holy crap man! Dictionary….you need one!
How about the fact that this individal doesn’t NEED this slightly used rubber fist? Do they already have a sizable collection? Who NEEDS a slightly used rubber fist anyway?
FAKE
You just write it because you’re pissed for not being able to afford the rubbery thing.
Nowadays prices for rubber fists are reasonable though.
I won’t even ask how you know that.
He probably studies simple economic theory. It’s a well known fact that rubber fists, slightly used or otherwise, are basically recession proof.
I would have guessed he has purchased some in the past. ::Shrugs::
NOWAI!
Just have your FAKE CAKE and eat it. Then use the rubber fist, you purchased after taking the number slip from this poster. Or is that why you’re screaming fake, because you rang up and she told you it was just a drunken prank?
How do you know it’s a she ?
Where you playing along ?
Maybe his mom told him.
“I DON’T WANNA WAIT. . .. FOR OUR LIVES TO BE OVER. . . .”
Dawson’s Crack FAIL. Actually I have feeling this is an imminent self-fail…
Very much a self fail….. but geffinate Jay and silent Bob line stealing WIN!!
Ah yes it is, I forgot where I robbed that from. “Hey, look it’s that Jason Van-Der Beek guy.” “Oh yeah, that Dawson’s Crack really sucked…”
Grammar fail. Tut tut, MrDan I’m very disappointed with you especially with all that extra tuition we’ve been doing.
My crack hurts, I stuffed it with all the grammar I could to ease the pain. So I don’t have much left for the interwebz.
.
.
.
Sriuzly, I just remarked my mistake. It has no name. *self spanks*
*hands Mr. Dan the rubber fist*
Sorry, I’m innocent and pure, what am I supposed to do with a rubber fist ?
*goes to the kitchen and cooks the rubber fist with ho-made sauce*
ho ho ho
made made made
Anyone wanna explain to me how the phrase “been doing tuition” works? Or is my university just doing it wrong?
I haven’t a clue
tu·i·tion
Pronunciation[too-ish-uhn, tyoo-]
–noun
1. the charge or fee for instruction, as at a private school or a college or university: The college will raise its tuition again next year.
2. teaching or instruction, as of pupils: a school offering private tuition in languages.
She used the second definition.
/geeky English professor moment.
And it all makes sense. I haven’t heard it used in that context in years… but then, engineers have never been big on langwidje arts, hav we?
There are quite a large number of pervs that would actually consider this full of win.
That is just an advertising campagne for that Pink Taco bar/club.
My apologies, I didn’t see you’d already brought this to our attention when I posted above.
I’m sending a bottle of campagne your way.
‘Campagne’ is another perfectly well-spelt french word.
I guess few of us are gonna laugh to this typo. ^^
What…??? C’mon, guys, that’s not a typo! It’s obvious he’s going to send
her a bottle with a gift certificate for equestrian training in it.
… as spelled in lolcat’s lolcat, compagni
One size fists all…LOL
“WAKE ME UP, BEFORE YOU GO GO, TAKE ME DANCIN’ TONIGHT!”
Obviously the biggest failure here is that quite a few of the number tags have been removed.
DUPE
Of all the multiple fails here, my favorite has to be “serious buyers only.” No prank calls inquiring about the slightly used, questionably obtained rubber fist, kids, remember that.
“IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!” Bee boo bee booooo, Bee boo beep boop beeeeee, beeee booo beee boooooo beee booo beeep boop beep BOOOOOOOOO BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
We’re leaving together!
You should quit niQuil. Make you do horrible typos.
You should try cyanide instead of niQuil.
NyQuil
it’s da nananaaa!!! dana.na.na.naa!!!
yeah.. maybe talons is listening to some techno version.. that bugged me as well
Yeah, I think it’s time to put whatever substance you’re on down and walk away from the keyboard…
Thats what i was thinking…just what constitutes “serrious” and why would they care? Sounds like they just want to be rid of the thing, unless she(or he, or maybe they’re German) is really looking for the perpetrator so it can be returned and the responsible party thanked?
why so “serrious”!?
( overmuch serriousness can lead to serrated smiles )
I reaaaaaally don’t see how this qualifies as a fail.
the guy had too much to drink and he didn’t remeber part of his night which is a side effect for heavy drinking in the case if some people. I FAIL to see where the FAIL lies.
Perhaps the fail is in the fact that it was posted at all. Why would you want to make public the highly em-bare-assing fact that one, you can’t hold your liquor, and two when you get drunk, apparently you become easy… Hey! wait! i got it, this is a modern version of “For a good time call…”
Epic comment fail, you should start your own blog.
I am amused that no one has even brought up the idea that this might be a joke. OR perhaps a practical joke played on a perhaps-now-ex-friend (the person whose number is on the flyer.)
Not everyone is as mischievous as you are. I dunnow if that’s the best way to pull a prank on someone. Certainly is original, but very unlikely.
my friend tried to sell my car on craigslist.com that is a good prank. I got calls for 2 weeks even after I had the add removed
I am amused that you FAILed to notice that at least three people have stated that this is a viral marketing campaign for Pink Taco. Powers of observation FAIL.
viral marketing win, apparently
“Buyer must manually remove item from seller, cannot be delivered”
Anyone tried dialing the number yet?
No, but please feel free *hands Tamut the fail phone*
If I do that Mr/Mrs. A-nl-intrudr will be even more pissed of as it is now 4 in morning or so in GOC (gods own country)…
supernatural deity fail.
theological reflection win
It’s taken me this long to realise but…acronym WIN – SURF (the fist)
That’s what I was thinking, I’m not sure what SURF means though. Is that anything like ski? It’s the “Serious Buyers Only” thing that makes think it has to be a drug thing.
Slightly Used Rubber Fist = SURF
Or better yet…who’s wants to go SURFING
some one call the number and see if its still for sale
why are you interested?
There’s always The Crypt. At least here in San Diego, other than the BDSM toys and fetish wear, they do have some…interesting insertables.
i don’t know if they still have the Fist ones. They do, however, still have the feet dongs. [Instead of it being a rubber/cyberskin fist, it's a foot.]
*Grins* *Shudders*
It’s an advertisement for the “Pink Taco” bar. And a genius one at that!
“Woke up a few hours later with a rubber fist I really don’t need.”
Can you imagine if whoever this is woke up and was like “Hot damn! A rubber fist!!”
Happened to me the morning after I slept with your girlfriend.
More details in the retort may have prevented this self-burn.
I found the following comment on another site. It is most definitely an advertisement for the Pink Taco….
Because when you call, you’ll go straight to the answering machine, and an upbeat female voice will say: “Hi, I’m unable to come to the phone right now. If you’re calling about the rubber fist please leave your name, number and a brief message. I’ll call back with arrangments to discuss the merchandise over margaritas at the Pink Taco. Have a great day!”
Saw the same online comment and posted the info here at the same time you did (when I was being a too much information service provider). So maybe we’re psychic twin sibs. If so, I get to boss you, cuz I’m the older one by a minute.
(But if we’re just cousins, though, that might allow some sweet osculatory possibilities.)
My friends in LA saw this months ago. It was a viral marketing/publicity stunt for a new venue in town. It *did* drum up quite a bit of attention for just a few signs.
Oh whoa. Another relative.
And it looks like this one has a penchant for four-way bondings.
This could get very interesting. LOL
This ‘Pink Taco’ place sounds… interesting.
The most FAIL part of this picture is that some people actually offered to buy it.
What the hell is a rubber fist for?! And why would people buy a slightly used one?!
Oh wait…. thats in LA… I dont want to know! *hides*
You haven’t been using the Interwebs for very long, have you?
Kudos to Strato’s being so, ah, gentle.
Kudos to Strato’s being so, ah, spheric (+al?).
Strato is derived from Stratocaster, not stratocumulus, stratosphere, etc. I’m actually decidedly un-spherical; past nicknames have included Ethiopian and pixy sticks. Bastards.
I thought about just going all out because the destructive potential here is, well, it’s just phenomenal, but I didn’t have the heart. I think the *hides* got me… I’m apparently getting soft.
Trust me, sometimes it takes a man to be soft in heart as well as tetched in brain.
I live in L.A. It was simply a marketing campaign, and it really got the attention of a lot of people. It’s a marketing win and nothing else. Pink Taco PWNZ, btw. Lindsay Lohan likes eating there.
WTF fail?
I have not seen Borat. I consider myself luck in this.
Lucky even, damned keyboard.
Come here, sweetheart, I’ll help you with getting that getting lucky thing all straightened out.
)
(And no doubt my getting lucky thing will straighten right out too.
Confident, aren’t you?
You inspire me straight out of my tangled mind .
why is it pink?
how old are you?
It’s been cleaned.
You are horrifying, sir/madame.
Monsieur.
But of course. My abject apologies for my lack of culture.
Incidently, how did ‘stratocaster’ become ‘stratoty87′ ?
My guitar knowledge sucks.
Guitar, nickname, year of birth. I’ve used it since I first took up AIM some four years ago, and I’ve never had the gumption to devise another screenname.
The term “rubber fist” immediately made me think of that Hulk hands toy. Yikes.
Yeah, super yikes — you don’t want to think about the color of that taco.
You wouldn’t want to get it angry either.
I don’t know which is worse, the sign or the fact that people were actually taking numbers….
I just ate at the Pink Taco in AZ last week, and didn’t think about the name in a dirty manner until I saw this fail.
p.s. my nickname was tacosam before pinktaco, and now it has a totally different meaning. :S
Maybe it’s just the sign messing with my mind, I thought your nick was “tacogasm” for a minute.
Perhaps the Pink Taco is where George Brownridge satisfied those women, and this is his rubber fist being sold? Using it on 15 women is sure to get some minimal stains.
I’ve eaten at the Pink Taco. It’s a Mexican restaurant with a kind of edgy/obnoxious style. Decent margaritas. Annoying wait staff. Food is okay.
Further examples of their obnoxiousness are the bumper stickers they sell that say, “Eating out has never tasted this good.”
Also, they’re a big supplier of Ho-Made BBQ Sauce.
people who took the numbers fail, ; )
Why is this sign pink?
Any ad involving the terms ‘pink taco’ ‘rubber fist’ and ‘minimal stains’ and you are destined to be on failblog.
maybe it’s a legitimate rubber fist. not *those* kinds.
look at the potential buyers…
|the kid|
I dialed the number and still don’t have a sodding rubber fist.
I guess this is a submission FAIL, too.
I took that photo, and whoever send it to you failed to credit me.
Nice.
The sad thing is that people have actually taken slips from this…… also the scary thing….. *shudder*
You know, I wonder… has anyone tried calling that number?
One size FISTS all.
Haha I live near the Pink Taco that this is talking about…and I recognize the building in the background. X-D
In addition to the Pink Taco, I saw a place in Whittier, CA last month called the Puffy Taco. It did look appetizing.
The real fail belongs to the people who took the numbers… and actually want the fist…
borat?
lots of comments…
i want a mudkipiplup. its a mudip and a piplup put 2gether
