Gonna insert my RE4 savegame so it shows “Zombies! Run!”
It’s the end of the world as we know it…!
and i feel fine!
I forgot how to do that…..
First Memory leaked…
hahah technology is greaaat XD
Argh, ill go ahead and claim Second Memory leaked, just because I deserve credits for being up so god damn early.. and lack brain function to make any creative comment at this time
VICTORY! I had doubts in my self but looks like i made it. I should have more confidence in my self, i accomplish great things
“i accomplish great things”
Tell us when.
and yet your so humble as well
i know aint it grand? ; )
I need one of those after a night out partying !
Violators for memory card insertion will find $50.
Gee, driving is becoming more and more surrealist…
Almost paradise….
Furry dice?
That makes no sense…
That’s the idea behind FAIL.
Simple. Devices like such require computer data to display the lights. If the memory card with the data is gone, the sign seems to be programmed to say that.
It’s a machine operating FAIL.
No, hackers can access the signs and change them. I heard somewhere they changed the signs to “Lane closures due to zombies.”
thats a spedometer its not suppost to have a memory card
No, it’s a general purpose highway alert sign. You can put any text you want on it.
…if you have a memory card.
… i’m really, really glad she’s not my mother.
A third place is not that bad, is it? I could win a medal.
… and play the wheel of fortune!
How much for the fat guy in the circle?
Free. 500 yen, please.
Oh, thanks for the reminder. I knew I had forgotten something.
A road trip to remember !
*inserts memory card*
*blue screen*
Damn
How can you get a blue screen on a sign that can only display black and yellow/orange?
If you’re approaching it fast enough, relativity predicts it will blueshift.
Chuck Norris will come and make it blue.
If Microsoft made it, it could happen.
Illegal operation on blue screen blue screen closing
Thats a fail
that ain’t funny..
I will try and explain. It is a programmable road sign, you may have noticed them when you are let out. The muppet charged with positioning the thing has either forgotten to ‘insert memory card’ and he didn’t check or the overpriced contraption has malfunctioned. This is common in England where road signs will cheerfully inform you that the next junction is seven minutes away (which is no help to anyone) or it will tell you to slow down for fog when the air is crystal clear or give you a 60mph maximum speed when the whole carriageway is stationary. This is not like the wag who hacked one of these things and posted uncomplimentary comments about the local council. Humour is often contained in the detail not the blindingly obvious. I hope this helps
You have such a way with words, and a command of the language seldom seen.
I liked muppet and wag. Very nice.
*Blushes* Glad you liked it
Hey…you could help teach Humor 101 (or Humour 101, to you)!
Watch out, you’ll bring more “colour” to his face.
Please don’t blame me for choosing a woman who couldn’t spell to compile the first American dictionary. (Is that true or an Urban Myth?)
Ohh watch out, you might ruffle dragon’s… er… scales.
*Ducks down below parapet*… *peers cautiously over*
You’ll want to fire-proof that parapet, sweetie!
Thanks for the advice, but how can I protect myself from the mighty Dragon? *Starts by removing duck’s down*
No! Keep the duck’s down! It’s your only hope!
*lobs a catapult-load of down pillows at Dr Hugh*
let us know where to bury the smoking, charred corpse, ok?
Thanks Lunchbox, nice pillows. I am hoping to find out who compiled the first dictionary before Dragon reduces me to a smouldering pile behind my parapetI doubt you will find any remains after Dragon has sailed triumphantly into the sunset. *peers out from behind pillow*
what is The Man always trying to keep the ducks down? fight the power.
Ahem.
*sees the Dr. festooned in feathers and pillows*
What’s up, Doc?
(And yes, you can thank Noah Webster for the “Americanizations”
of the English language. Just thank heavens that not ALL his suggestions took root, or we would be wiping up soop with a spunge, licking it with our tungs, and men would ake to tuch the wimmin.)
I shall replace forthwith the unnamed woman with Mr Webster. He could have had some fun with homophones, real chaos and misunderstanding!
*akes to lick the wimmin with tung*
I know that feeling.
ok i LOL’d at this…too funny
Thanks, maybe one of the American contributors will clarify it. If you ignore the big I agree. I enjoy Budvar and Super Bock from Europe. Although the little voice inside me asks “is there an ‘Average Bock’ and ‘Really Rough Bock’ that only students drink.
English Ales are a damn sight better than any American mass-produced pisswater. The Irish REALLY did it right with the Holy Trinity: Guinness, Smithwick’s and Harp. A good Newcastle or Boddington’s never fails, though.
Don’t forget Bushmills! (Yes, not a beer, but still part of the great Irish alcoholic contribution to the world.)
After that last Bushmill’s experience, I will NEVER forget it…
An Irish toast to go with all of that fine brew. “May those that love us, love us.
And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.”
I’ve had a few Doppel Bocks that were a little rough, but the Bocks tend to be a little sweeter than what I generally like. Like most American beer afficianados, I tend to like hoppier profiles like ESBs and IPAs. But, as the weather cools down, I gravitate towards maltier beers like English Brown Ales, Porters, Old Ales, and the like… OK, I’m getting thirsty. I have a 6-pack of Hobgoblin Brown Ale waiting for me at home. I’ll raise a glass to you tonight, Dr. Hugh. Cheers from across the pond!
Salut!
Ooh Hobgoblin, my friend drinks that and collects the bottle tops.
I can’t stand ale, personally.
Lagers just strike me as a little two-dimensional and bland. But, there’s a whole, wide, wonderful world of booze out there, so to each his/her own! Cheers, Loz!
Hobgoblin? That has a foolish consistency!
I even refuse to read this discussion on beers, witty as it might be. Just one word four y’all: Belgium. I rest my case…Damn, that was more than one word.
No argument from me on Belgian Beer. Nothing like a Trappiste Ale on a chilly evening. And they come in those BIG bottles! Almost every country produces some great beers. It’s like having a stable of classic sports cars. You love them all , and wouldn’t part with any ot them, but one is your favorite.
Has anyone ever told you you have a beautiful smile?
Thank you Obi Wan. O.B.One. Obey Juan.
No, hackers can access the signs and change them. I heard somewhere they changed the signs to “Lane closures due to zombies.” I hope this helps
A useful reminder… but where am I supposed to insert said memory card?
Oh, boy. Albie teed one up. Anyone care to send it down the fairway?
I can’t do it, man. I’m stuck at home with some creeping illness and it’s STILL too easy for me to take the shot and feel unashamed.
Into a soggy hole?
two soggy holes?
Ah, technology. Making people look stupid since 1879.
I think people do that all by themselves. No need for technology.
Technology just makes the process more efficient.
All your memory are belong to us.
Two fails in one…Sentence Structure Fail! and Fact Fail!
1) are belong…wtf
2) it’s my memory not urs
General-geek-knowledge FAIL! Stryder is referring to a famous, poorly-translated message in a video game. Google “All your base are belong to us”.
YAY ZERO WING!
Getting-the-joke fail and spelling fail. Good one, marv! Two fails in one!
Marv… say it ain’t so.
You represent the essence of the true clueless FAIL.
In Russia the state owns your memory.
how about “In Soviet Russia, memory is inserted into you”
Much better, Lunch.
Seconded.
win
You are on the way to memory loss.
Why are there so many crap posts lately?
Is this a circular paradox?
Or a cubic conundrum?
It’s a tessaract of FAIL.
That’s fantastic.
bitches b trippen
homies be skippin’
… its that the one at Rathmines? nsw
Thats what i thought… looks like it anyway.
Yeah it was that one.. Right near the gold course..
golf course rather.. spelling FAIL..
*Pictures Department of Transportaion worker driving home with the nagging thought in the back of his head that he’s forgotten something*
… checks pockets, checks ‘to do’ list, drives 100 miles home gets out of car, notices memory card on seat… bangs head lightly on nearest part of car…
especially since the sign should read:
“WARNING BRIDGE OUT”
“EXIT NOW!!!!!”
to do a poo ?
The guy who programmed the sign last time – needed a memory card.
Now that would have been funny. Exchange camera card with road sign card and forget to check before driving off.
After leaving a group sex party where he took lots of ‘interesting’ photos…
Aaahhh! those interesting artistic compositions!
I accidentally the memory card.
Can’t save game without a memorycard
So when the memory card is inserted.
Could u play pac-man on it?
…and that large truck coming up behind you starts making a disturbing “wakka wakka wakka” noise.
OMFG!! Aaaah!
*~GAME OVER~* *~GAME OVER~* *~GAME OVER~* *~GAME OVER~*
Pac-Man…shopping cart…went to Wal-Mart to fix his go-kart heart…
But how do you program such signs? I want to make them say fun stuff!
At last… a Fail that is actually funny!!!
I haven’t seen a good one in a long long time.
Try a mirror.
I usually reserve that comment for people who need someone to blame for the mess their life is in.
Yeah, but this is failblog. And it was such a perfect set-up.
Having re-read it you are right. Win for Avis!
Avis always wins. YAY!
*hug*
*hugs Dragon back*
Enough with the mutual ass-kissing. It’s making me sick.
Come on, this is failblog! You should be burning each other.
Try pundit kitchen.
Failblog is full of love.
Indeed. And love is full of fail.
Love – you’re doing it wrong!
Still, that’s put a downer on my night
Awww… Sowwee..
*hugs*
*finds herself humming What’s Love Got To Do With It*
*sobs*
Can you feel the love tonight?
*feels Loz*
Yup!
*feels Loz*
That feels nice.
*smooches Loz*
That feels nice too.
I just skeeted!
Why burn each other when we can use you for target practice?
*lines up on target*
*waves*
Exactly. We keep our friends close, and the trolls get *FOOOOOOOOOM!!!*ed.
Me? What…?
Nooooooo! *snork* Sowwy. I meant the yahoo who was
complaining back up there^^.
I like the way they twitch after you do that to them…. heh.
*wipes the beads of sweat from his brow*
I love this place!
Oh gawd, I do too. And so many new friends to play with!
*grin*
What do you think would happen if we were all able to make it to
some kind of “real” event?
I tend to think we’d destroy the time-space continuum, or, we’d bring about world peace.
Achieving world peace through innuendo!
I’m all for it.
The chances of us destroying the SPACE-TIME continuum are less than the chances of the LHC making a black hole and blowing us all to hell. Which we don’t actually have to worry about, because more energetic collisions happen in space all the time.
Hah. Shows what you know. We’ve broken the space-time continuum at least three times on this blog already. :p
I believe we started breaking the time-space continuum on a previous failblog, and it started with a fail and a win in the same sentence
See? This is what I meant. That was a nice burn. Now let me try:
“Yes, I understand you white trash kinds do love your guns.”
Now you go.
I miss BOTW
Fair enough w2bh how about YARPOF? ©Loz
I second that motion!
Rrrrright. I’ve been visiting failblog long before you organized your little commenters coven and started using these cute acronyms.
You probably expect me to be like “OH NOEZ! They have secret acronyms! And I don’t understand them!”… Well, guess what, searching Google for “YARPOF site:failblog.org” fixes that really quick.
Group dynamics at it’s worst. “Me and my happy commenter friends, fending off the trolls on failblog! YAY! We rulez!” *yawn*
It’s okay…we don’t mind at all if you prefer to remain unhappy with no friends, lobbing mindless insults at people rather than actually using your brain. Srsly.
… the sharp arrow of wit. *twang* Catch
Hahaha! I can’t think of an adequate response because I’m laughing too hard at w2bh’s comment.
He’s jealous that he doesn’t have the social skills to be an appreciated member of fb.
I appreciate your concerns, but I do have friends. REAL friends. I prefer to develop my social skills in an *actual social environment*, instead of this “social-networking” and “web 2.0″ fad.
Forums are for trolling and/or technical discussions. And yes, I WAS trolling.
“He’s jealous that he doesn’t have the social skills to be an appreciated member of fb”: Don’t worry, I don’t lose any sleep over this. I’m happy with being an appreciated Wikipedia editor.
Note to the editor. Please look up the following.
Environment

This should help.
dragons won’t nest below this level
Thank you!
*chooses to believe that Dr, Hugh is not being sarcastic, but sincere*
I can’t always tell.
No sarcasm here, I hadn’t really read the second line of the original post.Genuine Avis win! *offers hug*
Awww… thanks!
We get a lot of trolls here complaining about the quality of the fails. It gets old. Fast.
Typified by ‘failblob’ above. I think my riposte either shot straight over his head or he is trying to work it out still.
You used too many big words. Like “this” and “is”, the other words are just way too far out his/her reach.
ROFL
How am I supposed to save the world when I forgot the memory card? Stupid tubes and their lack of available harddrives. Stuck with stupid memory cards. Can I get a free memory card from you for 500 yen? That’s all I got on me right now.
The sign is probably running on Windows Vista.
Crawling more likely.
once you insert said memory card, you’ll have to agree to allow permission to access the memory card.
Then it will ask you to reformat the memory card and after that your in for a good six hours of updates.
I chuckled
I chortled
I snickered
I guess we’re still safe from that Terminator-style cyborg-hell future.
For now….
i love computer-technology-error message fails! =D
lol
I am Bender, Please insert girder.
you have to b pretty stupid to do that shit
I sense an opportunity to stickboot.
where am i supposed to insert it?
i can totally relate to how that sign is feeling.
