First?
No you’re the third poster for this comment
Thank you Captain Obvious
You are welcome! And thank you for the promotion to the rank of Captain!
Fail on trying to be funny.
Actually I think it was quite successful.
Actually I think you fail.
eye fale!
SPELLING FAIL!
Capitalization fail!
This whole fiasco was actually quite funny.
Because it is cool to have a car!
i dont think that was a fail
You’re right, it’s not.
This is actually an ad for a Wolkswagen Campaign… Fail Fail.
Spelling Fail: Volkswagen
ur moms fail: you
Burn fail: mom joke
however YOU win at being funny “You Are welcome” great!, he=FAIL
you=WIN
Corporal Punishment is having to reading your comments.
I take it he disapproves?
He’s taking it to the capital.
General Anesthesia kicking in. *snore*
Where is it kicking? Private Parts wants to know.
or realizing you fail at grammar
can i be sergenat then
Because it shows up as a reply to something if they’re actually serious..
Good for you, you know the world is dumb when people can tell if they got first comment or not
WHAT, 9000!?
Totally…
WHAT?! 9000?!?!
I would like the repo man to come get this one. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!
*breaks scouter*
This is not a fail. If I owned that island, I would park my car there. I wouldn’t leave it back on land. They when I go to land, I put my car on the ferry and go to land so I can drive around.
Thats exactly what I thought! I bet the gravity there is ten times more than the rest of the planet!
excuse my english, this is called “sea tide” for several hours a day the level of the sea lowers and rises thanks to the moon gravity, at low tide the road is free to transit so you can then wait for the sea to rise later in the day and take the pic the next morning you can move out your car….
lots of islands like this around the world…. specially in europe
Sorry if explanation allready posted.
J.
Photoshop FAIL.
Exactly.
Indeed.
Without a doubt.
Quite.
Indubitably.
Absotively
Yes.
Apathetically in concurrence, this one is.
I agree.
Would say so.
(agreements won’t nest below this level)
Or maybe yes.
Wow.
Still nesting….
lol
Masturbatory.
*masturbates*
affirmative.
I concur.
Or yup, for you hillbillies out there.
F’ Sho’
Posilutely
lol. still nesting.
Uhuh.
Win!
Laziness win!!!
*Rams a donkey up Cam’s butt*
Ew, gross.
But effective! And painful! >:D
ur stupid get a life and go home
Agreed, the car is too large in comparison to the house.
dude its easy to figure out!!! he took his car to the boat to get over, got his car onto the boat, and when he goes back to civiliization he will have the car with him.
My girlfriend, who has a nautical background, pointed this out to me before I read your post. Good call. It’s also used, though, to move Mass Quantities of provisions from the boat to the house, as a lighthouse keeper is likely to be isolated for long periods.
Tide Fail! This is prolly only an island during high tide with a road that is drivable at low tide.
Why Not?
Indeed.
Photoshop FAIL?
How does the car turns around after heading to the boat?
Your grammar does not makes any sense.
Your gramndma doesn’t make sense
*grandma
vernacular spelling fail
I absolutely love these self-fails…
auto-fail-atio
attempt at being funny failure
Your Grandma smokes insense?
3-point turn
Dude, you move the little stick to the “R” position and the car will magically travel in reverse…
WIN
LMAO
Umm . . . piplz . . . it’s not a private house; it’s a lighthouse. I assume it’s quite isolated and/or difficult to get to at times due to rough seas, so large quantities of supplies and provisions are delivered periodically. The vehicle is there to move them from the boat to the house. It doesn’t have to turn around–just back it down to the boat, load up, head back to the house. I would assume that the vehicle was delivered by barge or ferry. (BTW, I voted this a 1 ’cause there wasn’t anything lower.)
also when they go to lad they need somthing to get around in, so i don’t see why they shouldn’t have a car
Does that boat tied up at the dock look like it can transport a car?
And besides, there are a lot cheaper ways to transport large amounts of supplies over a stretch of land that is that small.
People, please. It’s not a pickup truck, it’s a tiny spec of a car. You couldn’t load more intoit than a crew of a ship could carry in its arms.
intoit, i like it.
If you’re going to lad, you’d better be intoit.
pronounced inTOYT
I was going for ‘in-twa’ because it looks like it should be French.
loading a crew of a ship dans ta “toit”, mademoiselle?
i dare say that will pitch a tent roof.
Oh you fox
I do believe that Loz just called fuzz and asse.
HEY! Whoever keeps putting “d”s in my posts…KNOCK IT OFF!!!
*swipes superfluous d*
(which sounds like a rapper’s name, really)
*sets it on fire*
*pats down flames* Yo, res-pec.
Lol’d
I think he was referring to the other type of toit, and not the intoit : rountoit. They are much harder to come by and quite heavy. One of these days I plan on getting a rountoit.
Me too, but I’ll just be half fast about it.
Has anyone else seen this picture in an ad where the owner is trying to sell it? I swear I have. I’m pretty sure it was a fake ad.
Omigoat I saw that the other day at a bus station! IRL win!
basic logic fail on your behalf
I’m “assuming” a reason is that even tho he can walk to the dock, he probably has a boat that can ferry the car back and forth to the mainland for trips. He probably saves a ton on parking expense and it is not likely he’s gonna get carjacked.
yes.
its called reverse
I might be wrong here but perhaps it would just reverse like any other car?
Cause there’s no point. Just walk ffs, how lazy.
Maybe this is owned by the same people who need an escalator to get to the gym
WIN
most pointless car ever…
Though nothing compared to the pointlessness of your post.
WALK? From my private boat along my private path on my private island to my private house? I think not
10-1 that this car is driven by a chauffer
There may be a point. Maybe he/she doesn’t want to leave his car at the other end of the ferry. Maybe there’s no parking there. Maybe there’s a hsitory of car theft or vandalism there. Maybe the driver is disabled and can’t walk up the hill from the ferry. This is not a remarkable photo.
It’s still worth to ask “WTF, what is that car doing there?!”
How did it get there, anyway? The boot doesn’t look strong enough to carry the car back to the mainland.
Week boot fail.
Oops – week weak fail!
Self-Fail?

more of this and we may have to give wimple das boot
Stop this sense right now. This is failblog and we will not tollerate sense here. Cease and desist immediately or I shall beat you soundly.
I sense anger here. I perscribe a hefty dosage of some tomfoolery!
the point of failblog is that he pictures don’t make sense but for once there is a picture which does make sense and as such we shall talk sense … got it !!!!!!
>:(
NO! No sense on failblog! Even if a picture makes sense, we will not make sense of it.
that makes sense
OK OK i won’t argue with you any more; that last argument seiously depleeted my courage supplies
can I watch you beat them all?
too true, mind you with no garage to put it its existance should also be fairly short in all that salt air.
Maybe, just maybe, they made the car there on the island, and when they were driving it (backwards?) to load onto the Failboat, everything rusted solid halfway down the path.
.
Whaddya think, sirs?
I think not.
____
Supposing the island is on a lake? What then?
Cogito ergo… I’m not.
maybe the car is parking on the island
maybe not
or maybe yes
I think “how” would be a more interesting question; did some idiot contract a ferry just to haul ONE car to a lighthouse island that could be walked across in 5 minutes? I can’t think how else a car would end up there.
Not every day is a sunny day.
Not every comment is a funny comment.
Not every commenter is a smart commenter.
And thank you for that very effective demonstration of your point.
Very good madam.
*tips hat*
Hmm, what? Oh, not madman.
Impostor!
Oh snapz
That’s GOVERNMENT idiot to you, sir. Yes, the Coast Guard contracted or provided a ferry. See my comment (the longest in the thread) above which explains everything. There is nothing remarkable (i.e., worthy of comment) here.
With gas prices these days, I really do wonder… though I guess if you can afford your own island that’s not something you’d worry about :/
Perhaps it is an electric car?
Hmmmm… and the gas station is where?
See the boat? Well I hear that some cars can turn into them if you press the big red button. A carboat wouldn’t struggle to get to land.
OMG. McCain is SOOOO old !
Not as old as those jokes
What does McCain have to do with a pointless car? Obama probably bought the car, house, and island (and maybe the ferry too) with all that change he’s been asking for.
No, it’s McSame’s 12th house.
LOL — I’m voting with wimple on this one.
Lets ask Obama! We’ll get a 60 minute speech that will answer everything BUT the question! Something to do with philosophical mumbo-jumbo, change, defeat hate, change, hope for future, change, McCain is bad, change, mixed views on faith, change, and the economy (followed by something about change).
Kudos to you Mikey for actually listening to and TRYING to comprehend Obama’s speech. We can all see what the effort cost you. Please sit down now.
If you hadn’t noticed, McCain rambles on about ‘change’ as much as Obama and Hillary. I’d love to see them cope if they were banned from using the words ‘change’ and ‘era’.
Obama’s ‘party’ last night was laughable. Al Gore made more sense than he did.
Can we just all agree that both candidates royally suck?
Go to http://www.glassbooth.org to see which canidate agrees w/ your beliefs
I hope it’s a Toyota Prius
I think it’s Porsche Cayenne which led to the global warming and rising waters.
That would explain why a former mountain retreat is now a nice private island in the tropics.
Global warming? no problem, just grab a bucket like Frank!
Can’t. I gave mine to the support group and wrote it off as a tax deduction.
Maybe we should start a bucket rental service instead of buying them, I bet Frank and Frank would do great business together.
Nooooo! Mah BUKKIT!!!!
I think you mean ‘lolrus’
Okay…I give up.
*thwacks self soundly with herring*
*buries head in bukkit of pudding*
The lolrus is of course a walrus. Either is accepted over there in lolkittia.
___
I swear to god, if I see one more “walrus bukkit” joke I’m going to kill someone… preferably The Walrus.
Seriously.. again?
Ughhh, grab a bucket guys.
lol’d
Well at least he or she has something to brag about to… ermmm… neighbouring island inhabitants.
The seagulls are jealous. They only have Segways.
i think you’ve just given me an idea, the owner is a seagull trainer, that car’s the “bombing” target.
Seagulls…? Um…has anyone seen K?
I haven’t. But if you see K….
HOLY SHIT, THERE ARE SEAGULLS IN THIS MOTHEREFFING THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta spend all that light house tending cash on something…like a pimped out VW?
Besides, walking that 100 yards from the dock is HARD!
Seriously…why indeed
if you had actually bothered to read the posts your question would have been answered seveal times and because i’m lazy and a bit annoyed about how people can think this is a fail i’m not going to tell you what it is!
Dang!
Maybe they have to tote large amounts of supplies from the boat to the lighthouse? That would make the car a win in my book
Yep. That’s a long way to hike heavy equipment and supplies. Maybe a smaller utility vehicle work work as well, but the car is not a fail.
like a big Light Bulb.
lateral thinking win! I like it
Joke killing fail.
Maybe they even have to get the same supplies from a store to the boat? Who says there’s a supermarket on every pier?
At that point, you get a wheelbarrow or a hand truck. Maybe a cart.
A horsecart. Then you could go on 10-minute trail rides around the island.
Maybe a golf cart, or a kiddie trian

And you were right before, Shadow…I WOULD kick his ass.

the women’s toilet
What’s it like in there?
That’s where we do our secret rituals of emasculation and come up with numerous ways to totally freak men out with bizarre body functions and the need for terrifying feminine products you are too embarrassed to buy at the store.
We keep our reproductive organs on the inside to preserve our air of mystery, yanno. :p
Personally, I just pee, wash and leave.
Loz, I just laughed so hard at that, I fell out of my chair and hit my head on my desk
She’s talking in code. You men will not understand.
Oh, and Loz…the stall is out of toilet paper.
*nudge nudge, wink wink*
Why are you nudging me? Get out of my stall please?
*attempts to cover-up and regain dignity*
Hehehe
Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for it to have such a catastrophic consequence…

A car accident on this island would be an epic fail
especially a three car pile-up
there’s nothing as good as driving in circles
donuts ftw!
mmmmmmmm…….. doughnuts…….
Much better than dognuts, certainly.
You would know.
Only ’cause your momma told me.
Looks like y’all speak bitch.
what about driving the car on a fairy and then drive around on a bigger island?
wouldnt that hurt the fairy?
Yeah, way to kick a fairy when she’s down.
Yeesh, some people have no morals.
I have plenty of morels: does that count?
nom nom nom nom……
I heard food!
Sorry…beans for lunch again.
Beans beans, the musical fruit,
The more you eat them, the more you toot!
The more you toot, the better you feel,
So beans beans for every meal!
Beans are not a fruit!
I prefer ‘beans beans, good for the heart, the more you eat, the more you fart.’ No? Too crude for VA?
“Beans, beans, the musical legume,
the more you eat, the more you spume!”
“Beans, beans, fun all week,
the more you eat, the more you squeak!”
Beans, beans,
They’re good for your heart
that more you eat,
(take it failbloggers)
Um…I think Loz already did!
^^
Beans, beans,
You eat ‘em real fast,
But they can’t be beat,
They’ll fly out your ass!
Yeah poor thing would need to go to an (s)elf help meeting ‘cos of the trauma

How do you make those notes? (Besides talent, I mean.)
For me, it’s arcane skill of cut & paste — I put “HTML music notes”
into Google and find a page that has them on it.
I see these instructions on one site:
____
Here are two html character entities that work in both IE and FF.
♪
♫
the notes are as follows:
#9834
#9835
Add one of those codes within your HTML and it will appear as the above. Remember to add & to the front of the number and ; add the end
____
let’s see what happens with latter instructions here:
♪ &9835;
[so you need to include the '#' sign, too -- I did for the first one there at the bottom, and left it off for the second one]
Many of them are male in fact.
Yeah, like Orlando Bloom … no, wait, he was an elf.
If you believe in that sort of thing…
Wait…are you saying Elton John is just a myth??
just don’t poke her with a stick
We’re serious! :[
You poke, you pay.
Aha, I believe you are asking to see my giant seagull penis!
(Why are my comments on this thread so infantile?)
omg i suck at englisch. i meant ferry.
i bet you know. *hint*
Fake picture. Just not real.
Like a bias-free news media!
or an elected american president
Or a normal life in Hollywood!
Or a fail that I haven’t seen in real life!
What happens when they go into town to run errands? How are they going to get around when they are on the mainland? And before you say it, keeping the car on the mainland might be a good idea but then what if something happens to it while it’s parked? Better peace of mind when it’s right there on the island. Submitter Dilon FAIL.
P.S. I bet crime is low in these here parts.
Ich glaube nicht, daß der Besitzer das Auto jedes Mal mit auf sein Boot nimmt, wenn er an Land fährt.
Was hast du gesagt?
Please reply to a post that is in English… in ENGLISH, not in German. It just ruins the fun, otherwise.
Was not funny even if it was in english, more a case of Führer Obvious
I’m totally late to this party, but I lol’d at “Führer Obvious”
Is it really THAT hard to go to BabelFish and translate it?!? Lazy ass….
FYI he said: I do not believe that the owner takes the car every time with on his boat if he goes in land.
Phew!! That WAS awfully difficult >_>
It was even EASIER to let some “know-it-all” do the legwork for me.
I wanted to keep thinking he said “when there is a land fart,” and now you’ve gone and RUINED it for me! *sobs*
There there…disillusionment is painful. You can smack him with my herring, if that would make you feel better.
Dammit. My post jumped ship again.
This was in response to “Not Me” WAAAAAY up there^^ who was mourning the loss of his German innocence.
*thwacks wordpress with herring*
Holy crap. And now it’s back where it should be.

I thought something Kinksy would be fitting here.
I am beginning to question my sexual identity, since hitherto on failblog I have been a hermaphrodite seagull.

D’writer: Oopsie! *Picks fish scales off D’writer’s face.*
K: On the internet, no one can see you…grow extra genitals?
You’re discriminating against German?
Du bist ein Failblog NAZI.
I’m not. I just think a comment should be responded to in the language the original comment was in, unless, of course, the original comment was on the topic of a different language. There’s got to be an etiquette book on this somewhere.
Ask Loz…she seems to own the linguistic rulebook.
My opinion is that people should be able to write in whatever language they please on the internet. If you can’t understand it, tough. Use an online translator or learn some more languages. Not everyone speaks English.
あたりまえです。 日本語も話しましょう。
Foreign larnguage enough for you?
ろずさん、あなたいい人です。
いいです。
(And he gave you a compliment, Loz-san … though, in Japanese pronunciation, you smell as sweet as a Rozu!)
Thanks, Fuzz-ん, but of course I am fluent in Japanese
oops, Fuzz-さん
本当ですか?
当然…
*fuzzn my Irish cousin*
That can only end in tears.
“West Germanic” is the language original English was in, you NAZI!
And “etiquette” is a French word, you VICHYSSOISE!
Yeah…and the Normans brought Norman French over in 1066, which ALSO became part of English, you OMBRE!!
And the hypothesized proto-Indo-European was the source for all of it, you Sanskirt** NAGA*!

More of a west Gemanic (Saxon), Norse, Celtic mix with a bit of latin just to confuse it all. “the language of swine and swineherds”
‘Celtic’ is not a language, it’s a family of languages. With two very distinct branches, P-Celtic and Q-Celtic.
And the Boston Celtics.
(American basketball FTW)
Hey, no fair giving yourself a win!
Especially when there is any reference to the Boston Celtics.
Hehe. Whatever. I don’t support the Celtics anyway. I support the Blazers.
Woo!
*puts on jacket with leather patches at the elbows*
You like??
*models*
I thought that was baseball… oops.
… the Portland Trailblazers, Dragon. That’s just our pet name for them.
Although, you DO look dead sexy in that.
PORTLAND!!
*sigh…*
I *heart* Portland.
And theng-kew-veddy-much!
B-but, aren’t Portland and Boston on opposite coasts?
Yeah… Portland’s a beautiful city. It’s like Seattle, but friendlier.
… I still <3 Seattle more, though.
And, Loz… yes, so? India and America are on opposite sides of the prime meridian, though, but I still call them for tech support
.
I thought you were implying that Boston were your local team and then you mentioned Portland.
*swipes Shadows superfluous ‘though’*
Yeah. I’ve never even been to Boston.
Nor I! Can’t say it appeals, though.
Well, I’ve never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music.
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it;
They don’t abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can’t refuse it.
—-
I <3 Seattle so much, I live there.
Is there any other kind of basketball?
You don’t play basketball in Britain?
Nope, I guess a few people do, but it’s pretty underground.
Kinda like drugs.
Apart from the fact we played a bit in school…
True but did not want to confuse the issue more than it already is. The debate as to who, if and what counts as celtic (some even claim basque as celtic, I’m no linguist so the argument for that was compleatly lost to me) seem to be back in trend with historians/ linguists.
The links between Basque and the original Irish are significant. Not through language though, through blood types. They both have the highest proportions of the rare Rhesus negative blood types.
This has led people to speculate that perhaps we (the Irish) originally arrived on this island from the Basque region, rather than through Britain.
However the Celtic languages and the Basque language could not be more different, and this provides a flaw in the theory.
Very fascinating topic (to me, at least).
Well, actually, no, if you want to play the origins game, technically speaking that word derives from Latin. Even more technically speaking, it derives from Greek (since Latin evolved from Greek) and most technically speaking of all, it derived from Indo-European. I could even say that it derives ultimately from Basque, a Western European language that is the oldest remaining pre-Indo-European language we have evidence of; it’s word for “knife” literally translates to “the stone that cuts” and it’s word for “ceiling” literally translates to “roof of the cave”.
And I resent being called a Nazi, not only because I am not one, but because you are calling me a Nazi for the wrong reason. You called me a Nazi for asking someone not to speak German, therefore implying that I do not like German people. Nazis didn’t dislike Germans; in fact, they believed Germans were part of the master race of people. And I have no qualms with Germans; my best friend is German.
*smooches Shadow*
Do no be offended, friend…the “you NAZI!” thing is a joke started by our own lovely Sara J some time back and it does not in any way mean that fuzz thinks you have anything in common with, or any sympathy towards, Nazis.
‘Kay?
Alright. But still, you have no idea how long I spent researching that stuff about Basque and Indo-European before I typed that. Let’s just say I started typing the comment at around 10 minutes after Fuzz posted his.
A man who does research…
That’s hawt.
You know it, baby
Be honest…you’re diddling your mouse button right now…aren’t you?
Nah. Do you want me too?
to*
Goddamnit.
Do I want you, too??
Ummm…..
No, we want you to rub the scrolly thing at the edge of the touchpad. Don’t we, Dragon?
Damn. It would have been SO much funnier if he hadn’t corrected his mistake. *pout*
And yes. Yes, we do want you to do that.
*nudges Loz*
Oops. Sorry.
*moves to a different stall*
I swear to god, you two, you get off on the wierdest things.
Yeah well your spelling is wierder!
(Psst, Dragon, pass some toilet paper under the door wouldya?)
*surreptitiously swaps Loz’s “i” and “e”*
Hey, mine was purposefully erroneous to mock Shadow’s mistake!
*snork*
Woops. I thought you’d accidentally made the same mistake.
*hands Loz the herring*
As you will, madam!
Hey. I’m only human. I make misteaks.
It’s okay, Shadow…you can still support my Blazer any time.
(lurkers nest with Shadow below this level?)
*thwacks Dragon* did that feel as good for you as it did for me?
Shadow makes mi-steaks? Thanks but no thanks, vegetarian here!
Sorry, only Dragon nests with me
Loz, Loz, Loz… you do realize I was making a joke, right?
By misspelling misteaks? Yes of course! I’m not that dense.
I was simply expanding on your joke.
*nestles*
*embarrased*
I knew that.
And I like Sweet Baby Ray’s on my misteaks.
Want some ho-made sauce?
Oh and I take it you misspelled ‘embarrassed’ on purpose too?
Ummm… yeah… mmhmm. Totally on purpose.
>.>
<.<
It’s cute how much effort you put into that, Shadow
I’m impressed. I did a module on european language origins last year and you probably know more than I do now.
Impossible.
Very possible, I retain facts like a faulty sponge.
Shadowy — as Dragon-Naked-Naga-Writer has pointed out, the “you NAZI!” thing is a meme-like joke here — Fuzz calling you a Nazi for discriminating against German was Fuzz being absurd/ farcical/ fuzzy.
.
Fuzz admits to be delighted that his “insults” would send you off to study up on stuff; that’s how he rolls and lols. But you’ve slipped a little with the Basque stuff. You don’t want to be saying a word like “etiquette” comes from Basque. Just because Basque is old, that doesn’t mean it’s the source of something else. Basque an anomaly — it’s an ancient language that appears NOT to be so related to the rest of the Indo-European languages in the West.
.
Latin and Greek are related, but it isn’t accurate to say Latin evolved from Greek (that would be like saying French evolved from Spanish); they’re more like siblings than a parent-and-child.
.
And “etiquette,” while it does has earlier forms, comes into English directly from the French. Calling you a “VICHYSSOISE” is another fuzzy silliness — the VICHY regime were the Nazi governors of France during the WWII occupation; VICHYSSOISE, though, is a potato soup.

*bisque kisses*
You mean ‘bisque bises’
No, he means “bisque busses”. :p
It appears I’ve been out-pwned.
*tips hat*
Uh oh, I fail to get it…
Yay, a simul-post with Loz.
*simul-hugs*
(A “buss” is another word for a “kiss”)
It is? Can’t say I’ve ever heard that. Thanks!
*simul-hugs Shadow*
bisquey business
I feel partially responsible for this misunderstanding.
You know who else felt the same way, though? Hitler.
You know who else makes me laugh, though? YOU.
You THAT THOU ART!
It used to be me. You are a polygamous laugher of the worst kind.

Did he say “Land fahrt”?
(wondering what that sounds like….)
I’m guessing something like an earthquake.
Sounds like Lunt fairt. Anyway, I WIN for getting 200 comments to my post.
They could try to use that speedboat to transport the car to the mainland. And I could be there with a camera, ready to record that rich bounty of fail….
the speedboat is photoshopped!
Well I dunno… those dolphins can be a menace.
They almost named the first Star Wars “The Dolphin Menace,” I hear.
STEALING THAT CAR WOULD BE AN EPIC WIN
Island needs some trees.
Carbomb FAIL
i hate to say it, but that looks shopped.
never mind that though, i want to live there.
It’s totally shopped, I visited that island last year on a geography field trip, and there was definitely no big red letters in the sea.
Actually, because of the way the water refracts the light, the letters are only visible from an arial view.
It looks to me like that ‘island’ is photoshopped.
Ferry. It’s spelled ferry. If you’re riding “fairies”, then… well, let me translate this:
U R GAY!
It’s spelled “you are gay”. If you are spelling it as “U R GAY”, then… well, let me translate this:
YOU ARE UNINTELLIGENT!
*high-five*
I concur
For sure
Quite.
*bows* Thank you, thank you, I’m here all week.
Oh and… reply fail.
Well I’ll tell you why. The island is presumably owned entirely by the person who owns the house and car. The car is needed for ventures off the island, on the nearby mainland. Why pay extra to have the car stored on the mainland when you may as well keep it on your island?
Secondly, with the island being quite a distance from, say, Ikea, how would you lug a chest of drawers from the boat to the house sans-car? With difficulty that’s how.
This is neither fail or win. It’s nothing of any significance whatsoever. Move on.
Welcome to 9 minutes ago. Read up.
Umm.. seriously? That car wouldn’t ever fit on that boat.
And does nobody else see that it’s a Lighthouse? I’m no expert, but I don’t think lighthouses are usually privately owned.
actually old out-of-service lighthouses are often bought by rich individuals and converted into homes
In Maine you more often see them as Bed and Breakfasts. Tourists seem to have a very romantic idea of Lighthouses. I have no idea why.
Please refer to the “Try Me” fail. Now compare to lighthouse.
Sans-car? Is this some new brand?
Yes! Brought to you by Sansabelt, this car boasts a looser, more comfortable fit, with soft elastic seatbelts and expandable seat cushions!
Sounds sans-safety!
But it’s Sans-ational!
It comes with a complimentary plot in the Historic Life-Saving Station Cemetary!
I’m offering Loz some lessons in Sanskirt.
Sorry, loosing is not a option…

*waits to see if MikeWinVA takes the bait*
drunk driving fail.
Who would stop you? The seaguls?
Or maybe the seagulls?
(That’s a hint, Ben.)
Or maybe the baygulls?
(Very subtle)
What about the Bengals?
Bagels are good after drunk driving.
Provided you’re still able to eat solids.
What about sea girls?
Seaguls = mermaids
WHAT!
MORE SEAGULLS IN THIS THREAD? AT 18 WEEKS?
sorry guys i saw it somewhere before its part of a commercial advertising. but i forgot for what
In fact, I do believe it’s the car
If you run out of gas, its not that far to walk..
To home, or to the gas station, because…
If you run out of gas, then you’d have to sail, drift, or swim…
Er… I’m the only who sees the car is half size the boat? WTF?
Pic comes from an advert some years back: how the car was such a joy and so generally desirablethat you’d have one to use on this island just for the sake of having one.
Sorry, I know, funny comment fail
How dare you bring factual, perhaps USEFUL information here! Fie on you and your reality!
Glad to see you understand fuel efficiency so well…
wtf? the parent this is attached to is not the comment I clicked “reply to this comment” in…
Thank you for your reply to our comment. Unfortunately, your reply does not match our current commenting needs. Your reply will be kept on file for thirty days in case such a need arises in the future.
Tis good. And all is well with the universe.
Thanks for all the fish.
They have got to get good gas mileage, how fast could they get it up to anyway on the limited roadway?
Gas mileage is best at the slowest speed possible in the highest gear, thereby making the engine turn as little as needed, yet not suffer too much energy loss due to air resistance. On this island, they probably would not leave first gear, thereby getting pretty crappy mileage. Admittedly though, a tank of gas might last them a couple years with such a short commute. If fuel economy were a concern to them, they’d be better off driving a moped, or better yet a bicycle.
Maybe they should get a smaller island, and not have to drive as far.
Because he can.
This is a picture of the top of Mt. Everest 25 years from now.
Good one!
Al Gore wouldn’t find it funny.
Someone, think about the crazed ex Vice Presidents?!
Just don’t go hunting with them.
the most dangerous game
I read that book in 7th grade.
so they have a time machine!!!! i want one!!!!!!!! where can i get one and how much for?!!!!! what!!!!!!! they’re for governments only!!!!!!!! but i want one!!!!!! waaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!
I hereby revoke your right to use exclamation marks until further notice.
Yay!
He got toooooooooooold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tooooooooold = told? too old? lost behind scrollbar?
I am known for my suspenseful… suspense.
I have a better question, since he sure as hell didn’t move it with that boat, and the way he’s got his pier oriented anything large enough to drive the car onto it doesn’t look like it would fit.
How?
“I don’t care how you orient your pier, Sean, it’s still not gonna fit!”
A large boat with a deck big enough to carry the car (actually, big enough to carry several cars that size, in case they broke one), and a crane. It was lifted off the deck of the boat onto the pier with the same kind of lifting straps that breakdown trucks use with a Hiab.
It was for an advert for (iIrc) the VW Golf, about ten years ago. The car was brought out to the island, driven about a bit, filmed from a helicopter, and then taken back.
Has anyone stopped to think that maybe because it’s a SUV that the guy has it to move furniture or some kind of heavy musical gear from the boat to the house? I wouldn’t want to walk 160ft with 500lbs worth of stuff.
Yes. Try reading some comments once in a while.
Burn?
Smokin’.
Yeah but as The Man I feel like I have to say it myself like it’s my own idea
The car is perfectly reasonable…I mean, do you really expect him to drag the bodies to the boat one at a time?
-
Actually, the Internet is older that Photoshop.
the car isn’t used on the island, it’s parked there and used wherever the ferry goes. if you fill a car with groceries it’s easier to ferry it to your island than park in a garage and carry the groceries.
oh, and also…. either the car is huge or that boat is tiny, but from our perception, they are almost the same size. maybe that’s why the picture looks weird to m.
wait. i just google searched it because i have no life. it’s a photoshop.
Why the hell do I have po p up s from this site?
They sent you poo pups? Don’t forget to cleanup afterwards.
Dat Boat toooo small to haul car! The car is a good idea, because it is not always sunny. If returning to island in rain or other bad weather, I would not like to walk that distance with or without groceries.
They had to have a big boat to bring the supplies to build the lighthouse. They probably have a big boat come over from time to time, and opted to bring the car.
Or… It’s a photoshop
I haven’t read all of the posts here, so I may be repeating someone else. Doesn’t anyone know this picture is ancient? Meaning I think I saw it for the first time (maybe) prior to 9/11/01? (Just using that as a point of mostly common reference.) The car is definately NOT a Prius as they didn’t exist when it was taken.
Who cares? Humor is timeless. Don’t be a buzzkill.
I wasn’t trying to be a buzzkill, and yes, humor is timeless. It’s just that so many people (at least at the top of the posts) seemed to think it was new. I’ve always thought this pic was funny.
The primary reason is that the car is almostly totally pointless.
In Soviet Russia, Buzz kills you!
In Soviet Russia, you’d be killed for making that joke.
Good thing Reagan defeated those commie bastards, then.
I wouldn’t be so sure… shit! behind you! Cold War II!
I’ve definitely seen this before too. (maybe)
Why is there an add for dykefinder.com at the bottom of the website?
There isn’t one. WTF are you talking about?
How’d you come up with that equation? What could possibly add up to that ad?
Why aren’t you using FireFox with AdBlock and NoScript?
Errr, sorry but how exactly is this a FAIL?
Having grown up in a coastal region with a number of island like this, although it looks funny it’s actually very sane. And yes, that boat is a car ferry & quite capable of moving that thing across water.
The picture is nice and sunny and probably taken in the summer… now imagine the same place in a storm sometime in November / December.
No, I wouldn’t want to walk it either… (even if the ferry could make it across!)
*rams a donkey up your butt*
I LOVE that little bug-eyed guy…
Oh, and the icon is cute, too. :p
hold a chicken in the air! stick a deckchair up you nose!
Take a bow and do-se-do!
HAHAHA probably uses a jerry can of gas a month- I hope he was stupid enough to insure it too. “VEHICLE USE TO AND FROM PEIR AT A DISTANCE NOT GREATER THEN 500 METERS. VEHICLE ALSO USED FOR PLEASURE
wow very much space to drive on that island…
FIRST to think of Low Tide possibilty
Why?
Groceries.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not lugging anything over 5 lbs any further than a few feet… They probably don’t want to make five million trips on foot to load the boat or bring the GROCERIES BACK TO THE HOUSE… DUH!!
No kidding. Groceries. Equipment/supplies. There are plenty of things that the car would be useful for. Yes, as a personal transportation vehicle, it’s overkill, but I’m sure there are plenty of things to haul that would suck to carry on foot.
Oh. If I had just read this first, I could have saved a rant. Peruse fail.
wtf would you need a car for on such a tiny island? Particularly if you are the only one living on it.
Argh. Fundamental attribution error. The car isn’t there necessarily because it’s needed there.
“Hey, I’ve loaded up all my provisions to drive some distance to the ferry to go to the island. Oh, look, I could just take the car and everything it contains onto the ferry and keep life simple. But, no, I don’t really NEED my car there, so instead I’ll unload everything from the car onto the boat, go park the car somewhere where it will be in someone else’s way when it could be safely out of the way on a friggin’ island instead, and then walk back to the ferry and then unload every damn thing again when we get there instead of simply driving it all off the ferry to where I’ll be staying. Whoa, that sure sounds like a better idea to me because I enjoy unnecessary work! Also, on the way back, I can repeat the lengthy process of carrying everything across the island and onto the ferry and then going to get the car and then unloading everything and then putting it all back in the car and then wondering why I’m such an inefficient person instead of simply putting it in the car in the first place.”
Cars can carry more than people. But I could be wrong.
Or you could just internet shop and let someone else worry about that.
Bcause the government transferred a lighthouse keeper from another station, and he had a company car as a perk. Government regulations say that it can’t be taken away, nor can they pay him a cash differential. So they spent $250,000 of taxpayer money to airlift the car to the island (and will spend the same to bring it back at then end of the year when his shift is over).
if this is real, the only explanation that i can think of is that the car can be driven onto the boat, and can be offloaded at a private dock on the mainland.
this is a possible photoshop though.
Uhm, isn’t this a repost? Could have sworn I’ve seen this before here.
No way, there is no such thing as redundancy on the internet.
I remember an ad from years ago.
Some deodorant or something like that.
The slogan was
“You never know who is coming to visit”
The setup was very similar…
Sometimes, the Japanese accent makes “Why?” sound like “HUAI???”
“Illelevant post”
“irreverent post”
This entire thread is a sagacity fail. The lighthouse owner just waits until winter when the water freezes, then drives to the mainland. (nyuk, nyuk…)
Plus, those replacement lighthouse bulbs are huge and weigh a ton. Easier to strap ‘em to the car and drive them back.
Heh.
Can you imagine this dimwit going to the insurance agency?
“Hi I would like to put insurance on my car…”
“Ok, will you be driving it to and from work? And how long is the drive?”
“Yes, and its about 500 yards from where I get out of the boat to my work.”
“Get out of your boat..?”
“Yes, I work at an island lighthouse and I drive my car from the dock to the lighthouse.”
“…”
Laddies, You’re all wrong! If you look closely you’ll see a barest hint of rails leading to the ‘vehicle.’ Yes, that’s right, it isn’t a car, it’s THE LIGHTHOUSE DIMMER SWITCH!
*rimshot*
Thankyewthankyewverrymuch….
That picture is made with photoshop , just look at the island , cleary pasted into the sea
I’m still loling at the text. XD
Why does everybody make a big deal of how the car got there?
How the hell did they get a lighthouse and that slap op tarmac there and why is the boat ramming the island?
It’s called ‘docking’.
Hmm…somehow “docking a donkey up Cam’s ass” just doesn’t have the same je ne sais quoi.
Seems this is Zmiinyi island – disputable territory of Ukraine and Romania. Currently Ukraine claims that this is island and made a small settlement there to prove that. Romania claims this is a rock and cannot be taken into account to measure UA territorial waters
I know why this is. The person that owns that house must be a player. There’s no other good place to do it other than the back seat of a car. ;D
This isn’t really a failure if you think about it. If he’s living in a lighthouse, and wants to go do his shopping on the mainland, he’s probably going to need a car to get around. In this lighthouse’s case, it’s on an island, so he’s going to need a boat. Would you rather pay for a distant garage to house your car on the mainland, or just keep it on the island where a thief would have to use a boat to get in? All you’d need is a ferry capable of carrying a car, and it looks like he’s got one. All in all, not a Fail, but a rather smart idea.
Fedor by armbar!!!
theres nothing fail about this.
About the size of the car…maybe it’s a small house and a big-ass car that carries a fat-ass American…I mean…it does look like one of those weird car-suv cross-over vehicles…
So he can get his groceries from the boat to the house in one trip? Duh?
Why? Why not? Looks like fun.
TRUTH FAIL
Maybe it’s to change lightbulbs? I bet those things are heavy
So, Gentlemen, may I take the liberty to offer a summary on the topic:
Car makes sense + image photoshoped = FAIL
another DUPLICATE fail.
My guess is the island is only an island at high tide. The boat doesn’t really look large enough to CARRY the car; my guess is the boat is only used at high tide. As for parking the car on the island, well, that is a bit silly, but if they don’t really need the car that often, or just thought they’d be going back to the coast before high tide that particular day but never got round to it…who knows.
That island is probably a lot larger than what the scaling of the picture shows. So, imagine having to walk all that walk all that way each time you come to your island or having to haul your luggage with you. However, it is not to say, that a car was neccessary. I`m sure he could have chosen a more environmentally, such as an electric buggy.
This could’ve just been a photoshop job.
Maybe theres something heavy needed to be taken from the boat to the house
Aehm. This picture is (if anything) advertisement FAIL. I remember it was in newspapers few years ago, but I already forgot for what car this ad was…
because he can
Ok, the car is so when they go to mainland they can drive all over the place.
The reason they bring the car back home is because they don’t wanna pay for extra parking.
But why live there in the first place?
Thats like hell, imagine a Ferrari there.
lol. Reminds me of Little Big Adventure 2 (Twinsen’s Odyssey).
Why not a dirt buggy here? No one would arrest you for speeding, just don’t crash.
Yeah, see that boat over there? That’s a ferry, dumbass.
^ that’s a furry dumbass
DOUBLE FAIL!!!
The moron who posted this image apparently didn’t notice the boat docked at the end of the driveway…which if I may add…is more than likely used to transport the vehicle between this island residence and the mainland so the owner doesn’t have to walk everywhere he goes
note…didn’t see “Mstar”s comment before I posted mine
HEY NOW!…Some of us are lazy…
…Some of us are utterly rich…
…Some (like myself) of us are disabled and can,t walk…
…But in this case, lets just call it as it looks>>>>FAIL!!
OMG THAT IS A WIN OK, IF A CAR CAN GET TO THE ISLAND IT IS A WIN!
THIS IS NOT WHYBLOG ITS FAILBLOG… FIX THAT!
ok that was really pointless
Maybe they’re transporting something from boat to house that’s extremely heavy?!
isnt that screen form a james bond movie?
I’ll tell you why.
The boat carries the car to land.
for explanation:
this picture was used for an german add for used cars in a newspaper.
the text reads (as I remember):
VW Golf II, build 198x, 22 (!!!!) kilometers
hmm nice!!
hahahahahahah Dragon Ball Z!… xD
People are so lazy.
what is this
How did the car get there?
Maybe the man in the car is handicapped and would be strained to wheel himself all the way to the house, especially if there is an incline. FAIL ON FAILBLOG!!!
the better question is “HOW?”
