A connotation is an emotion association with a word, ex. the word frantic has the connotation of feeling uneasy or nervious. Your thinking of possible explanations for the sign’s wording.
yeah Im sure, Arrian’s happened post got up before mine, Oh and no I didn’t read too far into it, I just posted the definition of connotation, aren’t you reading too into mine?
I wasn’t responding to your post. If I was, I would’ve nested into your post. I was responding to PrinceOfThieves who, judging my the nesting of his post, was responding to the “Second!” by SeenIt.
I’m actually sort of shy so I’ll just mention we went there for the sights and ended up spending the weekend without seeing much except each other and room service. Is that enough information?
(unrelated note) I just realized why I cannot go to the comments at Pundti Kitchen. Now I must figure out a way to stop my blood from boiling.
*needs a beer*
*makes a note to look up this “Left Hand of Darkness”*
Will this make me want to embrace my right-wing family members? Or will this just solidify what I already think? Because where it stands now, those right-wing family members want to tar and feather me.
*makes mental note to go buy an orange turtleneck sweater*
Orange is my favorite color, after all.
Also? I am a font of useless information. Maybe I should go as Velma for Halloween this year.
Yeah, I’m gonna need to get that too. I’ve got the hair and the glasses already. Several pairs of glasses in various colors too. I’m drawing the line at the loafers though. I’ll wear what I want on my feet, thank you very much.
Could someone plz tell me where that comes from, I mean the leaving out of the verb thing, I missed the source obviously. Was it a pic or should i read more threads?
Hey, sexual harassment is welcome here. If you can’t perform in this environment, you’d better go elsewhere… or, you can come see me later to discuss this in a more intimate setting and I can make everything better for you!
Ahem yourself! I never implied there was…. I was merely stating the fact that breasts are delicious, regardless of large or small. I love ‘em more than spaghetti!
Uh Avis, Dragon? I am perfectly willing to offer my opinion on any apparel that you thinking of purchasing. It doesn’t matter how intimate it is. Don’t worry, you will not embarrass me. I’m just helpful like that.
Uh-huh. Helpful. Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. Just remember, after about five stores not having anything that fits properly, I tend to get bitchier than normal. Just so ‘ya know.
“…too small for doubt?” — But if it is too small for doubt, how you gonna fit all that powerful knowledge into it?
Then you say, “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded” and then say, “Knowledge is power, guard it well”
— SO, Retaba, which is it? Guarded or Unguarded?
How can we possibly have Knowledge AND an Open Mind simultaneously?
By keeping an Open Mind, Knowledge is left in an unguarded fortress!
Great! Now I can legally sexually harass that cute hot assed babe at the Front Desk and quit hitting on the barely passable looking illegal immigrant housekeepers
Welcome to the party. All the chicks with nice tits can sit in the front row. If you let me slap your ass I will get you a raise. If you are hot and meet me tonight that promotion is yours.
While waiting in line at the pharmacy my precious 6 year old little girl said quiet loudly, “Daddy, it hurts me when you put that thing in my butt”…someone who overheard called the cops…the “thing” in question was a suppository which her pediatrician had just written an RX for and I had just picked up.
So you remember that one of those escaped villains was known as The German? And he has power over metal? So actor Ken Lally, who plays that character, insists his power isn’t the same as Magneto’s:
‘What I can tell you is that he is a little closer to metal than Magneto. Magneto just controls it. I can not only control it but I can…well I guess Magneto can sense and feel it…but I think I’m kind of “at one” with it, as a good way to describe it. But I guess Magneto did too. It would seem we are more similar than I thought. Thank you for letting me know.’”
Taken from the scifi blog, “io9,” discussing the American television show, Heroes.
I know it’s not really related to this post, but I just thought it was too funny to pass up sharing it here!
It’s funny because he’s trying to insist that there is a difference between his character and Magneto from the X-Men, but every point he tries to make is erroneous, and he realizes it. It’s like, “Hey, isn’t your character just a rip-off of Magneto?” “NO! Of course not! My guys got this… wait, no, Magneto’s got that, too. Well, I’ve got that… wait, no, that’s the same, too. Okay, I guess you’re right.”
It’s like if you had created a character who was a rip-off of another character. Then, you try to explain all the things that make your character different, but instead, you list all the things you copied from the original!
It was funnier in its original context.
I’m sorry! I have shamed myself! I shall now commit seppuku!
Everyone should welcome it, especially in the work place.
Second!
Your parents must be so proud!
What the hell was the sign supposed to say?
suppose to say?! They just want more sexual harassment.. And who can blaime them?
first name: sexual.
surname: harrasment?
welcoming sexual harassers?
This post has at least two connotations, if you think of it as a spelling mistake, or a comment made by a poor english-speaker.
What?
A connotation is an emotion association with a word, ex. the word frantic has the connotation of feeling uneasy or nervious. Your thinking of possible explanations for the sign’s wording.
There’s some knowledge fo you ignant ass
You dont have a brother named Cinco do you?
Bitch I was Cinco. Everyone calls me “Cinco De Meo”. I’m surprized you know the correst pronuciation.
No, his brothers name is Holda.
“Your” is used to indicate possession, “you’re” is the contraction of “you are.”
Please learn the difference between the two if you intend to quibble effectively.
I know, I’ve gotten lazy from spell check fixing it all the time, DAMN YOU MICROSOFT!
Are you sure you responded to the right post? It looks like you’re reading way too much into what he said.
yeah Im sure, Arrian’s happened post got up before mine, Oh and no I didn’t read too far into it, I just posted the definition of connotation, aren’t you reading too into mine?
Hes not talking to you, asshole. Seriously, whats with the attitude?
Wow, I thought posts with profanities don’t go through on Failblog.
Anyway, it’s a seminar on sex harrassment.
killjoy
I wasn’t responding to your post. If I was, I would’ve nested into your post. I was responding to PrinceOfThieves who, judging my the nesting of his post, was responding to the “Second!” by SeenIt.
Arrian’s happened post got up?
I don’t know about you, but I’m not “reading too into” yours. I think you accidenty your credibility.
It’s all very unsettling.
If it stays up for more than four hours, you might want to consult a doctor.
That reminds me of a rather odd weekend I had while vacationing with my ex-fiancĂ©e…
Please go on…
*scootches*
What…?? I’m *scootch*ing closer to you, ‘cuz I want to hear the story, too.
*grin*
I’m actually sort of shy so I’ll just mention we went there for the sights and ended up spending the weekend without seeing much except each other and room service. Is that enough information?
Aw. Shy is kinda cute.
Though I gotta say, shy doesn’t really happen that much around here!
You are asking someone that got kicked out of Disney World. And trust me when I tell you they have cameras every where.
:blink:
You have peeked my curiosity. Please continue.
Ummmm…I’m pretty sure the story is RIGHT THERE.
*chuckles at “peeked”*
Yes, please! Now I want to know! I mean, there are more cameras
here in my neighborhood than most prisons (I’m guessing), so we need details here.
The story isn’t “right there”. It’s left there. We want eloquent details.
(unrelated note) I just realized why I cannot go to the comments at Pundti Kitchen. Now I must figure out a way to stop my blood from boiling.
*needs a beer*
*hands Avis a beer*
*…with the left hand*
*also offers “Left Hand of Darkness” to read*
Cannot, as in it won’t let you, or will not, as in they drive you nuts? I used to go there to bait extremists. They proved too easy a target though.
*makes a note to look up this “Left Hand of Darkness”*
Will this make me want to embrace my right-wing family members? Or will this just solidify what I already think? Because where it stands now, those right-wing family members want to tar and feather me.
Actually, it just had “left” in the title, and I was trying to placate you.
And I think you already look cute in feathers! :p
Will not, for though I have low blood pressure under normal circumstances, that site may cause me to implode.
But the tar is such a pain.
Would the feathers tickle your fancy?
*is bird, therefore HAS feathers*
Damn, first Avis in a Velma costume, now covered in feathers … and I’m thinking if the tar doesn’t work we can always use honey.
Hey!! That honey is for the Admiral. :p
Now Avis there is no need to grouse. I don’t plan much on these comments. I just wing it.
*makes mental note to go buy an orange turtleneck sweater*
Orange is my favorite color, after all.
Also? I am a font of useless information. Maybe I should go as Velma for Halloween this year.
Don’t forget the red pleated mini skirt.
Yeah, I’m gonna need to get that too. I’ve got the hair and the glasses already. Several pairs of glasses in various colors too. I’m drawing the line at the loafers though. I’ll wear what I want on my feet, thank you very much.
The knee high socks? Not that any fantasies are starting here mind you.
*sighs*
I guess I’ll need those too. If I do get all this together I’ll have to post pictures n my blog. If I can figure out how to do that.
*smiles happily* Halloween is my favorite holiday
Unfortunately, no costume parties for me this year.
*offers Avis a pair of brown ‘Mary Janes’*
*looks around for Admiral* should be here any minute now….
*re: left hand of darkness* Wasn’t that a book by Ursula LeGuinn .. *gores to google* ahh yup thought it sounded familiar. Just been a while.
*wonders why ErickB has a pair of ‘Mary Janes’*
I do have one pair grey, and two pair black. I’ll make do.
*whistles innocently*
*attempts to look nonchalantly*
Nonchalance…ur doin’ it wrong.
*giggles mischievously*
Unfortunately, it is getting quite late. And I must sleep. Good night all.
G’night, my friends!
*hugs*
*chuckle* No thats fine, just leave me here with my deep seated childhood fantasies of Velma… who knew?
Could someone plz tell me where that comes from, I mean the leaving out of the verb thing, I missed the source obviously. Was it a pic or should i read more threads?
You poor thing. Here, for your viewing pleasure. It quickly became a meme.
http://failblog.org/2008/10/10/mens-room-fail/
Oh no! You accidenty the whole source? What should you do?
no your not! thats a reply to a comment not a second post!
I’d love to welcome it, but you’ll have to do a certain something for me in return!
Do I have to? You’re making me very uncomfortable Mr. Lunchbox.
Hey, sexual harassment is welcome here. If you can’t perform in this environment, you’d better go elsewhere… or, you can come see me later to discuss this in a more intimate setting and I can make everything better for you!
The room beyond that door held a seminar for sex h.
I’d welcome it if I could get it.
Sexual Harassment is welcomed, but please be advised that you will be graded on it as well.
My personal favorite line is “If I told you you had nice tits, would you hold them against me?”
here here!!
…but if it’s welcome, it isn’t harassment.
hmmmm
Job Requirements:
Piece of Meat
The meat snacks on aisle 4, next to the Mother’s Day gifts.
What is so delicious about aisle 4? Why does meat snack only there?
(Meat won’t snack below this level)
Man, I’m boring…
I have a way to help solve that problem of yours.
HINT: It may involve “meat” and “snacking”
O.o
Beefy jerky?
Spicy sausage.
Man-sized manicotti…
smoked sausage?
Kielbasa?
bratwurst?
Penis. Hihi, I said it.
Yes. We all knew penis would be coming out of your mouth sooner or later.
Naw… Jimmy Dean’s.
(For those not from the US of A, it’s an all-pork “bulk sausage,” i.e. made out of ground meat and spices.
In other words, it’s spicy, and very thick and meaty.)
You like ‘em that way?
*jimmydeans*
i lol’d
first
I’m going to harass you for that, sexually
Fail.
Kobe Bryant WIN?
ALLEGED win.
He’s a team player now. Gangbang win.
Oh god.
Oh Juses!
Oh, Mo has meds?
…*crawls into thinking space*
Yah, weh if he needs them.
i’m new any thing i should know?
a win indeed.
A win for the management people. But if you want to start from the bottom of the company… you better have yours ready
*pinches bottom of the company*
Trust you to crack that joke.
It was rather cheeky.
No butts about it.
Woohoo!
I’m stayin’ there!
Welcome, Aviators, to the Tailhook Convention, at the San Diego Holiday Inn!
With a name like ‘Tailhook’ what did you expect
So much for “An officer and a Gentleman”, right? Except if they thought they just had to be gentle when they harassed people, maybe.
Sometimes, it can be hard to figure out if people want it gentle or not. You just have to read the signs.
I can’t- they’re all in braille, on the back of the door!
I usually like to push it in hard and all the way.
If it’s welcome then its not really harassment.
Your face belongs to Sexual Harassment
Sexual Harassment’s like a peeing furnace
…
*masturbates*
Hey, somebody was going to do it eventually.
If only you had been patient, I was going to ask to do it for you, (or with you as you might prefer).
Patience is not my strong point…
so you came first??
What you tryin’ to say ’bout my momma?!
Don’t be chicken, he’s just trying to egg you on.
Your name in mind, this is a big step in the right direction.
She’s not nearly Pretentious as she Pretends to be; more like Ostentatious.
Just MY type, face this way… *snacks*
literal booby trap lawsuit invitation.
…er… just wanted y’all to know.
Thats a nice lawsuit, baby.
I guess I can’t put words inbetween ? I had a nice whistle
Why would you put words in between your booby trap? There are things that are a lot more fun to put in a booby trap…
No I had the greater and lesser than signs, and it won’t let them bet put together. “whistles” might work?
Like Meat Snacks!!!
…that you’re a lawyer? Eeew!
with great knowledge comes great responsebigtitty.
responsiBIGOTRY!
…I cant seem to get around this…
Around what? The big tits? Yeah, they can be a little cumbersome. Hard on the back, too.
My arms are short
More than a handful’s a waste, they say.
Which is comforting, really. :/
Funny thing… big or small, they taste the same on the outside- delicious!!!
Yup. Puts the “cum” in cumbersome.
( . )( . )
*ahem*
There is NOTHING wrong with being…um…emphatically curvaceous.
PWG thinks you’re a waste of breast tissue!
Ahem yourself! I never implied there was…. I was merely stating the fact that breasts are delicious, regardless of large or small. I love ‘em more than spaghetti!
Definitely not! Awesomeness comes in all sizes.
Boy, my last post on this thread sure was crude. It’s startling what comes out of my head here and onto the interwebs! O.o
You remind me of myself when I was 16
Oh, silly lunchbox, I was talking to PWG. Here. Have some spaghetti.
Duh, me!
*slurps spaghetti*
I’d still prefer breasts to spaghetti, though!
Let them be big
Or let them be small
But let them be natural
Or not at all
*agrees EMPHATICALLY with Dragon*
There’s NOTHING wrong with curves!!!
*hates shopping for dressy shirts*
*hates that ALSOTOO!*
*high-fives Avis*
Uh Avis, Dragon? I am perfectly willing to offer my opinion on any apparel that you thinking of purchasing. It doesn’t matter how intimate it is. Don’t worry, you will not embarrass me. I’m just helpful like that.
Uh-huh. Helpful. Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. Just remember, after about five stores not having anything that fits properly, I tend to get bitchier than normal. Just so ‘ya know.
Even the possum-fur nipple warmers I linked to on previous fail?
Perhaps you just need someone to adjust things for you.
Well, if coyote is unavailable, I will be willing to lend a hand. Or whatever it takes
Heeeeee!
I am always available to help those in need.
Your tits are on your back? wanna slowdance???
uh, and you said hard on…
*perks up* I wanna see!
Read more, be knowledgable.
*knowledgeable
I want to be knowlegable.
first be legible, then be know it, then combine the two
An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded. Knowledge is power, guard it well.
Blessed is the mind to small for doubt.
That’s nice, but I prefer to keep my power in my trousers.
What the WTF does that mean?
He keeps his books in his pants to hide it from our likes!
Trouser-Book worms!
actually, he’s into bibliophilia.
I’m guessing you also don’t know what WTF means…
Everyone knows that WTF refers to the Williamstown Theatre Festival.
Huzzah!
I was kind of shocked at the plurality of it aswell.
“…too small for doubt?” — But if it is too small for doubt, how you gonna fit all that powerful knowledge into it?
Then you say, “An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded” and then say, “Knowledge is power, guard it well”
— SO, Retaba, which is it? Guarded or Unguarded?
How can we possibly have Knowledge AND an Open Mind simultaneously?
By keeping an Open Mind, Knowledge is left in an unguarded fortress!
Understanding humor fail.
Great! Now I can legally sexually harass that cute hot assed babe at the Front Desk and quit hitting on the barely passable looking illegal immigrant housekeepers
Welcome to the party. All the chicks with nice tits can sit in the front row. If you let me slap your ass I will get you a raise. If you are hot and meet me tonight that promotion is yours.
That is so unfunny that this fail doesnt seem significant now.
That’s unfunny, but THIS is unfunnier:
While waiting in line at the pharmacy my precious 6 year old little girl said quiet loudly, “Daddy, it hurts me when you put that thing in my butt”…someone who overheard called the cops…the “thing” in question was a suppository which her pediatrician had just written an RX for and I had just picked up.
Who knew they had interwebs in prison?
I’m confused did she say it Quiet or Loudly?????
QUITE LOUDLY
spell check worked
brain didn’t
…and what party would Bob Dole be involved in
Jesus.. just stop trying…
According to Jonathan the fail party. I am so glad my failure has made the rest of this fail insignificant. I believe that’s an achievement!
Believing it doesn’t make it true.
Really funny site … loved it !
This is caused by Italians. Them and their nefarious ices. Down with Italians and your sister, she is hot in a sort of ugly way.
That’s at the main head quarters…it’s designed for fat and ugly members of staff who feel left out!!!
http://mylifeiscrap.com
There is nothing ugly about a fat staff. Trust me, I know.
Her ass meant what now?
18th lol!!!
sexual harrassment panda!!
Ugh, I just stayed at a Holiday Inn. I somehow managed to avoid the harassment.
Would you consider that a win?
Definitely a fail. I would complain to the management. I’m sure they would be willing to give you a free night on them.
Or under them. Whichever is your preference.
Or perhaps you can work out a deal where everyone comes out on top.
*tries to picture that*
*realizes it breaks all laws of physics*
*head asplodes*
Heisenberg uncertainty principle comes to the rescue and save Dragons head!
I’m uncertain about that, as a matter of principle.
Whew! I was afraid we were going to have to get out the mop and buckets again!
Woo-HOO!
*works on his design for the Mobius Strip Bed ™ *
Foolin around with the Father in the pool even before getting married eh? Shame on you!
And yet it’s still easier on one’s dignity than a super 8.
Reminds me of the early years in Special Ed, when we’d go to a conference and see banners saying “Welcome Retarded Teachers.”
Seems appropriate that this is the Holiday Inn in Washington DC.
This makes me a very saaad panda!
unhappy employee perhaps?
Loz can sexually harass me any time she pleases.
I’ll bear that in mind…
Here’s some FAIL for you:
“Heroes:
So you remember that one of those escaped villains was known as The German? And he has power over metal? So actor Ken Lally, who plays that character, insists his power isn’t the same as Magneto’s:
‘What I can tell you is that he is a little closer to metal than Magneto. Magneto just controls it. I can not only control it but I can…well I guess Magneto can sense and feel it…but I think I’m kind of “at one” with it, as a good way to describe it. But I guess Magneto did too. It would seem we are more similar than I thought. Thank you for letting me know.’”
Taken from the scifi blog, “io9,” discussing the American television show, Heroes.
I know it’s not really related to this post, but I just thought it was too funny to pass up sharing it here!
OFF TOPIC FAIL
Boringest. Post. Ever.
*insert humorous comment here*
Wow, I’m a huge Heroes fan and i seriously thought this comment was by far one of the stupidest ever!
Relevance Fail!
WOW buddies.. wow
It’s funny because he’s trying to insist that there is a difference between his character and Magneto from the X-Men, but every point he tries to make is erroneous, and he realizes it. It’s like, “Hey, isn’t your character just a rip-off of Magneto?” “NO! Of course not! My guys got this… wait, no, Magneto’s got that, too. Well, I’ve got that… wait, no, that’s the same, too.

I’m sorry! I have shamed myself! I shall now commit seppuku!
Iron Glub of Sin Part 1.
Awesome!
Thais all.
FYI Sexual Harassment were an 80’s electro funk band, best known for ‘I need a freak’
I welcome Sexual Harrassment too!
wow, arguments over a “funny picture”. you are all retarded. hehe
don’t know about holiday inn, but i think hilton does welcome sexual harassment (since paris is in charge)
This seems photoshopped to me, theres nothing that could have been trying to say that would make sense….
That’s not a fail…that’s SUCH a WIN!!!
What else do you expect when my attendant is Ms. Porn.
More like win than Fail.
i think it’s a sex-offender band.
hmm…inside joke for the hotel staff?
FINALLY!!! i hope christian lorenz, dan wright(the ginger i mean not the baseball player), and brent corrigan are here!
*grope*
