Leave it on the doorstep and get the [heck] out of here.
I’m going to give you ’til the count of 10 to get your ugly, yellow, no-good carcass out of my door! 1, 2, 10! * tommy gun shots & maniacal laughter *
Keep the change, ya filthy animal.
Fredo, you’re nothing to me now. You’re not a brother, you’re not a friend. I don’t want to know you or what you do. I don’t want to see you at the hotels, I don’t want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won’t be there. You understand?
Right now my innards are hurting from the way he was feeling for this and thats in me. I believe that he he put himself through med school kneading bread dough in a bakery or pizzeria.
What is up with you to make you down?
Oh, it’s really nothing. I have to walk with a stupid cane now, and for some reason that really bothers me.
We found some pretty cool ones and linked them on the Pen Drive thread, though, and the Admiral said he’d keep an eye out for any other cool ones he comes across for me. So really, it’s nothing bad. I’ve just been stubborn–and admitting that I need a cane was difficult for me. I’ve always been a pretty active kinda gal.
I’ve used a cane several times. I have a collection of about six or seven. Two of which are sword canes. I’ve always wanted a sword umbrella like John Stead. Don’t let the parking permit thing get to you either. I’ve had those as well.

Please look at my 11:56 Pac. Time comment so you do not think that I am a complete idiot tonight. I am just my usual incomplete idiot self.
What’s wrong?
Yes…I’m okay, don’t worry. I’m just stubborn as a mule and pigheaded to boot! So sometimes it takes me a while to admit that I should do the smart thing.
Especially when I don’t wanna.
(And…and don’t be an idiot! I’d NEVER think you were an idiot! )
Czechoslovakia split up to Czech Republic and Slovakia almost 16 years ago, update your map, amigo Im from Slovakia.. American people always wonder how the heck can Slovaks and Czechs understand eachother’s languages even they never learnd them
Might I suggest that this is one of those instances I was referring to when I said that sometimes people on failblog aren’t as friendly to newcomers as they like to think they are?
.
Just an observation.
My goodness. You truly have no idea how things work here, do you?
But fine.
Teo…if my booting you because you did not get my joke or understand my quote, and because you assumed my ignorance rather than gave me the benefit of the doubt despite the fact that I do hope I have proven myself to be not entirely without brains or wits on this blog, caused you undue pain and suffering, I do apologize.
Educate me, please.
.
It seems like you are saying that it is a friendly thing to boot a foreigner in the ass because they didn’t get a joke that only British people and a few Americans would understand. Is that correct?
You booted a foreigner in the ass, said it felt good to kick foreigners, & then claimed it was a fun thing to do. What am I supposed to think?
.
I think you need a *HUG*
I booted him/her because s/he felt the need to “correct” me despite the fact that the previous forty comments made it absolutely clear that 1) it was a joke, and 2) I had been directly quoting someone. I even told Loz that I was aware of the actual facts, but that I had not wanted to misquote and misrepresent someone else’s words.
It had nothing to do with being foreign or not (though in a place like this, we are all foreign to someone else). It had to do with the fact that this person felt the need to showcase his or her own knowledge in a completely inappropriate and unnecessary manner. Having been similarly booted myself several times in my early days here, I quickly learned the consequences of such pedantry.
(And teo…this time I truly do apologize. It was not my intention to get you all mixed up in this, and I hope you do understand that my original *BOOT!* was meant humo(u)rously, not maliciously. Mea culpa.)
Thank you for the in depth reply.
.
Remembering your early days on failblog, did you laugh when you got *booted*? Like I’ve said before, maybe I’m a little sensitive when it comes to foreigners. I can’t speak for Teo, but most foreigners I’ve met are easy to shock or embarrass, especially when they’ve been made the butt of a joke.
It’s the same for many native-English speakers.
All I wanted to do was point out an example for our earlier conversation. *shrug*
Oh, yes indeed, I laughed. Several times I winced and chuckled, and I think I once even guffawed.
If I had to live by one philosophy (and thank goodness I don’t) it would be, “If you can laugh at yourself, you’ll never run out of things to laugh about.”
urwrong: lol, seems to me the game is “boot the newcomer in the ass.”
.
No. The game is “boot the humorless twit in the ass”.
Longevity within the group is irrelevant.
That puts things in a new light, Raelalt. Thanks
Although, you can’t really call Teo a twit, since (s)he never had the chance to see an Izzard (sp?) show coming from Slovakia.
I can see why people wouldn’t be happy about someone ruining the joke, but there’s no call to be mean about it.
I don’t want to play with you urwrong. It’s that simple. If you don’t want to play the game the rest of us are playing, you’re out of luck. The rest of us know how to make, and, more importantly, take a joke. Something you might want to look into.
Crap, you mean you haven’t?

Damn, & that was my favorite sweater

(please forgive if this turns out to be a double post)
Somehow, maybe because a weird fetish, I enjoy the comments more than the fails. Everytime I get this odd feeling of being pleased and I don’t even have to play with myself.
This place is gold, I tell you, gold!!!
you also seem to not know geography – it goes Poland, CZECH REPUBLIC, Slovakia (you noticed the separation – good) and everything else is messed up, go back to school Emma!
BF I don’t think there’s any point in arguing with urwrong, it will only result in unwanted *HUGS*. He just doesn’t understand than no means no… or what a restraining order is.
*admires urwrong’s smoking corpse*
Well, folks, it appears urwrong tried to hug a 100,000 volt transmission line. He may have had a little help, but there’s not enough left to run forensics on. Case closed, I guess. At least we won’t have to worry about cremation!
You guys know why I pass out the *HUGS*, right?
It’s because you guys are so full of hate & animosity.
If you didn’t so obviously need the luvin’ I wouldn’t passing out the *HUGS*. Everything you guys post just shows me I need to give out more & better *HUGS*
.
*HUGS AVIS*
*HUGS £υηçhþöχ*
.
Plenty of *HUGS* to go around, folks.
If you really want to promote happiness and good cheer, quit it with the hugs. We don’t want them from you. We told you that. And furthermore, we weren’t even speaking to you. Yes, we were speaking about you. This is much like when you say something and we laugh, we’re not laughing WITH you. We’re laughing AT you.
Exactly what I was talking about, Avis.
There’s obviously something deep & unsettling troubling you.
I think you need a *HUG*, but out of respect for your wishes I now give you a *FRIENDLY HANDSHAKE OF FRIENDSHIP*
Well, urwrong, thank you for your considerate thoughts. If you realized that you were one of the major causes of that hate and discontent, would it change your behavior?
We are a very friendly bunch, and generally welcome newcomers openly. You walked in being argumentative, and have persisted in being a general pain-in-the-ass ever since. On a whole, I try to avoid your comments, because you don’t contribute to either the humo(u)r, conversation or comedy so prevalent in this blog. It seems, the same is true of most other regular commenters here. Is that really the kind of attention you want? I think if you put an equal amount of energy into being at least marginally creative, you’d be welcomed much more warmly.
Think about it for a bit. I don’t want you to think we don’t like you for no reason, and I’d rather not keep seeing you get flamed for being an ass. We waste too many comments on this silliness.
£υηçhþöχ, thank you for taking the time to write a constructive post. I appreciate it.
.
I have to admit that I don’t like it when I see people bully someone, especially when they have an unfair advantage, {i}doubly{/i} so when the subject of the bullying is something as inane as the language being spoken. Of course, I am referring to Diego here. After reading a flood of abusive replies, I decided to step in & do something about it.
.
Of course what Diego said about Americans was wrong, but then again our reply to Diego was even worse. I’m not going to apologize for doing the right thing.
.
Not, let’s turn to Avis. She is not without blame here. From her very first post, she has been hateful & abusive. At first, I replied with what I believed was an appropriate (i.e. equal) level of vitriol. Dragonwriter helped me see that this was the incorrect path to take. This was the path of An Eye for an Eye, rather than the Golden Rule ideal.
.
I really do believe that the level of hatefulness & abuse I have seen on this site is uncalled for, especially when it comes to newcomers. As logn as there is hate here, there will be *HUGS*
No, it seems you can’t. And no matter how hard you try, you do not get to frame the argument. You are in the wrong here. You don’t know how it works here. Furthermore, no one wants a hug from you because you are insincere. And insincerity is insulting.
Guys, I hope you don’t blame me for the onslaught of unwanted hugs and harassment. Had I known the result of those ill-fated words, I never would have uttered them.
First, use the greater-than/lesser-than symbols not brackets.
Second, Avis responded to you with due regard. We stick up for each other here, and she was doing so on behalf of someone else. I know she stuck up for ME on that particular thread, when I responded to Diego.
Third, the replies Diego got were at worst, on par with his ignorance and bigotry. He started out making hateful and ignorant statements, and that is what he received in return. I feel he had it coming, although in fairness many of the responses did justify his beleifs.
Finally, your “eye for an eye” practices AND your application of the “golden rule path” have been irritating at best. I can see by your response to me that you have the intellect to be witty and contributive here. Why not end the “hugs” campaign that is so obviously creating all of the hatred, and simply play with the rest of us?
*belIEfs. Damn, I was in such a hurry, I ignored the spell-check!
Dragon, NO we do not blame you. How could you know?
Avis, I completely agree. Urwrong is being contrite, and he knows it. I think, barring a rational response, in action not just words, I will return to ignoring him.
@Avis, you keep saying things like that, yet you never support them. You might not believe this, but if you actually could provide solid support for an argument then I would happily admit that you are correct. For example, when Dragonwriter corrected my spelling, or when Marius engaged me in conversation regarding Diego a couple of failblogs back.
.
@Dragonwriter, you might not believe this either, but your words actually have given me a new perspective. Just look at the kind of posts I was making on the Diego threads. However simple your words & in whatever level of seriousness in which you offered them, I genuinely feel better about reading failblog.
.
I really am completely sincere about what I am talking about. I know it is difficult to convey through these posts.
Oh, and just as an aside (because I seem absolutely incapable of keeping my nose out of things)…
It is nigh-on impossible to accept your seeming “sincerity” when you insist on forcing your attention on those who do not want it. Were you truly “sincere” in your wish to spread goodwill, you would honor people’s wishes, personal space, and requests to be left alone. Your so-called “good will hugs” are a form of assault and you know it.
So no. I do not believe you are at all sincere in what you say.
@£υηçhþöχ
Thanks for the tip! I should’ve remembered, heh.
.
“Second, Avis responded to you with due regard. We stick up for each other here, and she was doing so on behalf of someone else.”
-An Eye for an Eye & all that. I would repeat what Dragonwriter said about that sort of thing, but she seems to not like it when I bring it up.
.
“the replies Diego got were at worst, on par with his ignorance and bigotry. ”
-I disagree. The worst thing he said was in his first post deriding the person who cried “first!” I haven’t counted, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were at least a dozen hateful abusive replies before his next post.
So let’s compare: “lose your virginity” vs. “get fucked by Hitler”
I think it’s obvious which one is worse.
.
“Why not end the “hugs” campaign that is so obviously creating all of the hatred, and simply play with the rest of us?”
-Thanks! I appreciate the invitation.
Just ducky, thanks! Though I lost power last night, and I don’t think my phones are working yet, and the world is covered in ice and snow. Otherwise… !
@Dragonwriter, I give *HUGS* to those who need them. No more, no less.
Their hate proves they need it.
You’ll noticed I haven’t *HUGGED* you today. I wanted to (cuz I’m such a friendly person), but I didn’t. You didn’t need it. *shrug*
@Marius
Wow, really? You don’t see anything in that thread that is hateful of Diego? It seems we are not connecting here. What would you need to see to understand that Diego was being attacked?
Oh, my! I hope it gets better soon! I still recommend Yak-Tracks. They’re like snow chains for your boots.
It’s about 6 degrees here, and the streets have turned white. Not with snow, but with ice. I’m doing my best to not go outside today.
Urwrong–that is the most pretentious, self-serving, and arrogant thing I have read in a long, long time. And I read college freshman papers for a living.
I have no idea why you think you have the right to decide what people “need” and what they don’t, but I assure you…you have absolutely nothing that I need or want. So please have some respect and keep your distance from me.
Avis…I’m thinking I’m going to have to break down and get a cane. What do you think…maybe a sword cane? With a dragon’s head handle???
Hm. No. The temptation to skewer a student might prove too much for me…
As previous noted, I understand that Diego initiated the attacks. Even during my Eye-for-an-Eye days, I believe that the failblog response was overwhelming & unnecessarily hateful. In fact, on the Diego threads, you’ll see that I posted my belief that the failblog response substantiated his initial attack.
.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
.
Many people have attacked me, but I tried to make their day a happier place by returning a *HUG.* This is the true meaning of the Golden Rule. I don’t care how much hate a person feels towards me. I want to be friends, therefore I treat them in a cheering, friendly manner, giving *HUGS* where I think appropriate, or a *HANDSHAKE* where a *HUG* is not welcome.
.
Believe it or not, I feel that I have grown as a person over the last week because of these exchanges. I am grateful for that.
@Dragonwriter
“I have no idea why you think you have the right to decide what people “need” and what they don’t,”
-The same can be said of you, can’t it? If your posts to me do not warrant a *HUG*, then surely my posts do not warrant your hate. To put it another way, if you won’t accept my *HUGS* I won’t accept your hate.
*shrug* believe it or not, I really do hold you in high regard. That is one reason I could listen to your words & accept your critiques last week.
@Marius
Since I replied to this particular thread, I think I’ll go with… http://failblog.org/2008/12/10/cult-procession-fail/?cp=all#comment-201476
.
Please notice that I am not defending Diego in my reply to that post. In fact, I refer Christopher to a post by ja fail. I do not speak Portuguese, but I don’t think that what ja fail said was entirely friendly. Again, although I can’t say for sure, I believe that ja fail’s post responded to Diego with an appropriate level of animosity.
.
After that, please note Avis’ reply to my post. Hate begets hate…
.
But no longer
Oh, to be absolutely clear, I believe the abuse of Diego occurred immediately with the first reply, but I felt that “abuse” was warranted, due to Diego’s hateful remarks. My issue with the abuse towards Diego is that it got WAAAAAY out of hand.
Do you realize just how many times you have contradicted your own statements during the past few days? I love how you just go around accusing others, and then present us with boldfaced hypocrisy when proven wrong.
From what I read Christopher’s reply was a rather gentle rebuke of Diego’s ignorant reply to Bondfan:
BF: Diego, you can’t expect every American to be bilingual.
Diego: Actualy, I don’t expect nothing from americans.
Chris: على الرغم من أن كنت تعيش أقرب إلى الدول الناطقة بالعربية ، وأشك في أن نفهم ما لكم حتى انا الطباعة على الآلة الكاتبة.Roughly translated, since there is a language attrition between the two, “Even though you probably live closer to Arabic speaking countries, I doubt that you can read what I just typed.
The point of this is that people in glass houses really should not throw stones. Sure, its easy to be snide at Americans, what with the grand sweeping accomplishments of your own country (snicker), but the very computer you are typing on owes its existence to Americans. By the by, no one in my family aside from me speaks Arabic.
To which you replied with a personal attack:
Urwrong: The average European speaks three languages. Case in point, we know Diego speaks at least two.
.
The average American speaks only one. Diego knows that & tried to accommodate us by using English. He even said so. Everyone outside of America knows that Americans can only speak one language. That’s why everyone studies English.
.
It would’ve been much more impressive if you addressed Diego in his native tongue, like ja fail did. As is, you just look like a pratt.
Avis replied: This would have been impressive had you not called Diego “European”.
Unless they moved Brazil.
Pointing out Diego had stated an hour before your comment he was from Brazil without a personnal attack on you.The only hateful comment in that exchange belongs to you Urwrong.
Thank you for taking the time to write that.
.
I would first like to point out that Christopher’s post did contain an attack. He was attacking Diego’s home country (which he believed to be Portugal at the time). I didn’t like the hypocrisy. He attacked Diego’s home country because Christopher felt it was bad for Diego to attack Christopher’s home country.
.
Also, & this is important, please notice my phrasing. I said that Christopher “looks like” a prat. You guys might feel like this is “arguing semantics,” but I at that point I did NOT call Christopher a prat.
.
As for my reply to Avis, I’ve already addressed that forty minutes ago. According to the rules of failblog, it seems I can *boot* you in the head now. Is a *boot* appropriate? Personally, I wouldn’t think so.
Urwrong, I already stated Christopher rebuked Diego no need to point it out to me. You did not address this Hypocrisy in your reply, but Explained to all that Diego was trying to accommodate us by abusing Americans in English and then stating directly to Christopher “As is, you just look like a prat.” That is an insulting remark. Trying to cover it up with semantics is just poor form. I do not understand your last paragraph. I do not believe I asked you about Avis prior to my above post. If you are having a conversation with someone else on this matter I can not find it. Please enlighten me. As it stands you still seem to be the one who made a personal attack Urwrong.
I’m thinking of the part where Christopher says “what with the grand sweeping accomplishments of your own country (snicker)” which is a clear attack on Diego’s home country.
.
“Trying to cover it up with semantics is just poor form.”
-I agree, which is why I do NOT believe what I said is “arguing semantics.” I was trying to head off a counter-argument.
Anyway, my point is that “looks like a prat” gave Christopher room to back out of his earlier statement gracefully.
.
“I do not understand your last paragraph. ” *boot to the head*
One step forward, two steps back dude.
*shakes head in disapointment*
And yes, most of your argument is about semantics. Accept this, with good manners, and move on already.
Again, if you could provide support for your statement, I would happily admit I was wrong.
.
The above *boot* was given in jest. The way things work around here, I don’t have to explain that. You guys are just supposed to know it.
.
If you would like me to explain the joke, I will.
Your reply to me last week about Diego living in Brazil was justified because Diego had revealed to us where he lives an hour earlier.
Therefore, my *boot* is justified for the exact same reason. already talked about “{Avis} Pointing out Diego had stated an hour before your comment he was from Brazil without a personnal attack on you.” forty minutes earlier than Marius’ latest reply.
The short answer is this: if you (any of you) can do it, I
.
You’re just going to have to deal with the occasional *boot*
I can go back to *HUGS* if you like.
You know what? You are tiresome. You are willfully obtuse. You don’t want to play, you want to win. And you’re not winning so you have decided to be an ass. It is unbecoming.
You have been weighed. You have been measured. And, inevitably you have been found wanting.
Again & again & again I have asked you to explain your opinions, Avis. Would you please explain what you mean this time?
I really & truly don’t understand why you think I am “willfully obtuse.”
What is wrong with me playing with *boots*? I can count at least three other people who play with boots & you’re not mad at them. Why is it wrong when I joke with a *boot*?
Can’t you just drop it? Please!?
This is supposed to be a FUN place.
Try to sit back a be “quiet” for a while/few days.
Go over to http://punditkitchen.com/ and get in a gripe/bitch session with someone with opposing views.
Go over to http://engrishfunny.com/ and post your heart out, they need all the extra commenting they can get and might even like you.
YOU and a few other “newbies” have come into FAIL Blog and essentially “crapped it all up” with nonsensical rants and garbage posts. Hopefully, by January you will have all assimilated or returned to your previous locations
This… is so annoying. I’m not even going to get into it. Both sides insist they’re right and refuse to back down. We’re arguing over semantics and an eye for an eye. Just… stop.
Wow, go away for a ‘little’ while, and the whole place goes to war!!!???!!!
Loz- thanks for weighing in. Oh, and *hugs*… I haven’t said hi to you in a while, so I owed you that. I agree, urwrong has the capacity to be non-troll material.
Urwrong- dude, chill. This fight has gone on long enough, I addressed you earlier in a completely rational and considerate manner. So far, rather than backing off, you’ve managed to draw even more people into your private war against decency and friendship. All while claiming to be trying to assimilate. I really think you’re doing it on purpose now, since you are obviously smart enough to know what you’re doing.
It’s usual pepper but Americans just love to say stuff in other languages. That’s why they started the global financial crisis and that’s why the pizza guy dropped the pizza and that’s the way a-ha a-ha I like it a-ha a-I’m lost.
At the height of the ancients’ powers, there was a surfeit of foreign, heinous, prescient heifers wearing peignoirs and veils who forfeited their consciences and deigned to ignore their feisty deities.
What? Where? Working??? Oh, you weren’t talking about fire this time? *looks down dejectedly* I was hoping to get some work… something hot, maybe?
.
(sorry, shop-talk. Fires are referred to as ‘jobs’ or ‘workers’, and fighting fire is ‘going to work’ or ‘catching work’. I’m bored today, I just can’t help it…)
lol
Unless he discovered some socially relevant method of actually cooking on hot asphalt. I’m sure there’s some culture somewhere that cooks with hot rocks…
oooh, wouldn’t it be cool if Alton Brown went to Iceland to do a Feasting on Asphalt with Bjork?
.
Or does Bjork from Greenland? Crap, pop culture fail…
Iceland cooks mainly with electricity and gas like the rest of the civilized
world. They aren’t cavemen. Broke, yes, cavemen, no.
They even have roads! and houses! And internet!
I went there over the summer. Before they went bankrupt.
Yeah… I was just hoping HHNF was joking!
I’m going to Iceland next year hopefully, if it was extortionate before their economy collapsed I dread to think how expensive it is now… *cries*
Do it! It’s worth it. Blue Lagoon, Golden Triangle Tour,
the boiling mudpits, glaciers, and Vik, the black beach.
Vacation of a lifetime!
Welllll of course it may cost you your firstborn to eat anything
that grows. But I survived on Beikon/Pepar snakks, Kremkex,
and Skyr. (Chip-like snacks, cream filled sandwich cookies, and
a local kind of yogurt.) Also, there is a plethora of fresh bakery goods.
Actually, I visited Iceland this last summer with my geology class, and almost ALL of thier heating is geothermal. We went to an incredibly fancy resturaunt and found that they shared hot steam with several other resturaunts on the block, to do dishes, heat food and ovens, etc. Most houses are heated that way as well, along with the ridiculously expensive hotel we stayed in, and the pools, etc. So yeaaah. I know they aren’t cavemen, they just use what they have and can’t see a reason to pay for it.
Awww thank you.. I was hoping I would eventually be accepted here.
Just one thing. I was able to find the meaning of Moomin,
and I understand the bukkit concept, and I even locked up a few trolls
on some other forums. But I can’t seem to find the meaning
of the verb Foom….
I made it up, petmousse. It’s the word I use to signify when I have used my dragon-flame, whether I’m *FOOOM!*ing a troll of merely toasting a friend’s crumpet for them.
Fail at Naming Fail. There is no Pizza Delivery failure in this video. The pizza is 100% successfully delivered. It may not have been intact, and it may not have been the way most would prefer it to occur. However, it was in fact delivered.
buba thinks it’s because the man ordered a napoli pizza. The pizza is made with plastics, banana skins and other garbage. The video shows the last stage of pizza conception: gravel + cigarette butt sprinkling. This makes buba hungry.
There were two boxes in the bag. If you look carefully, he put the box with dirty pie back in the bag on top of another box (containing an apparently clean pie). Then he takes out the box on the bottom, leaving the dirty box in the bag and giving the customer a new pie. They must’ve both been the same type of pizza.
During this economic crisis, only one job survives – Pizza delivery.

Hey Kosher, even if they’re gay, African and can’t spell correctly, they’re still not Jewish, so suck it.
Weinerbagel, I will say this only once.
I am JAPANESE. I come from JAPAN.
*officialy disowns*
So, is Japan like a Chines province or something ?
If you don’t know the geography, it goes Poland, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Venezuela, Africa, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon… and then Japan.
You left out Cuba. Everyone leaves out Cuba damnit.
I know it was you Fredo.
You broke my heart.
Fredo, you’re nothing to me now. You’re not a brother, you’re not a friend. I don’t want to know you or what you do. I don’t want to see you at the hotels, I don’t want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won’t be there. You understand?
I know it was you Frodo.
You broke my ring
Well, at least he didn’t forget Poland1
Poland1? Is that like Airstrip 1?
no, its in contrast to poland2. dont you know hitler made a backup copy of all his illegally downloaded countries in WWII?

Did you like it that I did not say that it was in the groove?
That was very restrained of you.
This comment was supposed to be down with the comments on the tatto. It makes no sense here. Damned pain pills.
Oohhh…are you in pain?

I’m sorry to hear that.
Saw my oncologist today. I think that it has returned.
*hughughughughug*
Right now my innards are hurting from the way he was feeling for this and thats in me. I believe that he he put himself through med school kneading bread dough in a bakery or pizzeria.
What is up with you to make you down?
Oh, it’s really nothing. I have to walk with a stupid cane now, and for some reason that really bothers me.
We found some pretty cool ones and linked them on the Pen Drive thread, though, and the Admiral said he’d keep an eye out for any other cool ones he comes across for me. So really, it’s nothing bad. I’ve just been stubborn–and admitting that I need a cane was difficult for me. I’ve always been a pretty active kinda gal.
I’ve used a cane several times. I have a collection of about six or seven. Two of which are sword canes. I’ve always wanted a sword umbrella like John Stead. Don’t let the parking permit thing get to you either. I’ve had those as well.
*HUGS* Coyote.. that sucks, I’m sorry.

If you’d left out the “or something like that”, you’d've been approaching wit. Or something like it.
No, no, no. He left out Beirut and Gibraltar.
And if you don’t get that geographical lesson then you should just be given the choice of…Cake….or death.
Nice Avatar, Dragonwriter! I dig!
Thank you!
Oh, she’s back!! It’s good to see her again! (She IS a she, right?)
Yup! This is Sincweard, the dragon at my back.
Why did you go back to the back? I thought that the other one was quite hip.
Well…I’ve been having something of a rough time lately, and I wanted to see the dragon at my back for a bit. She comforts me.
Please look at my 11:56 Pac. Time comment so you do not think that I am a complete idiot tonight. I am just my usual incomplete idiot self.
What’s wrong?
Are you okay?
Yes…I’m okay, don’t worry. I’m just stubborn as a mule and pigheaded to boot! So sometimes it takes me a while to admit that I should do the smart thing.
Especially when I don’t wanna.
(And…and don’t be an idiot! I’d NEVER think you were an idiot!
)
The former puts you in the vast majority and the latter in the vast minority.
The Cake is a lie!!
The Cake is a lie!!
Portal referance win
Spelling ‘reference’ fail
AH! You saw that comic too?! Peardian is god for me.
“Bowel Movement?”
“BRO’S MOVES!!”
Just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
Portal reference fail.
The Fit is go!!
The Fit is go!!
Portal Reference WIN
I’ll take death… NO, NO, CAKE!
I’m sorry, we’re all out of death. You’re going to have to take cake.
LOOOOOL!!
I am allergic to cake. Either way I die.
Uh oh! I’m alergic to cake
. I was going to take death…
Ahem. You’re forgetting one thing that we also have…A POTATO!
Well, that just takes the cake, doesn’t it?
Well I guess that takes the cake….
ahh! ahh! you said death
Oooh, all right. You’re lucky we’re the Church of England!
The choices are death or oog-goo.
Hmmm… Death. NO! Cake! Cake! I meant cake!
I choose…death-I mean cake! I want cake!
But post-1993 it goes Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Holland, Venezuela, Africa, Babylon and then Japan, duh!
Yes, but had I said that you would have red-penned me for misquoting, so I’m pretty sure I couldn’t win here.
Which, for Failblog, works just fine!
Haha! I would’ve red-penned while laughing
… WIN.
(Eddie Izzard Reference = Instant Win to me, sorry.)
Agreed.
Czechoslovakia broke up about 16 years ago….
*sigh*
The candidates for Humo(u)r class 101 keep coming!
Yabbut there’s been some talk of a reunion tour in 2009.
They can’t find the drummer though, seems he moved out to the sticks.
*rimshot*
Yeah.
We did.
I guess that makes me JUST Czech.
Eddie Izzard ref, FTW!
What do I win?
*crosses fingers* Please let it be something shiny!
You win Eddie’s bustier, his patent leather go-go boots, and a peanut butter sandwich.
Ok, I know how to wear the bustier and the boots. Do I even want to know where the peanut butter sandwich goes?
If you have to ask, you can’t afford to find out where it goes!
You say that, but the saying goes that a peanut butter sandwich is the poor man’s potato.
A poor man’s potato is a vicar’s candy.
Izzard FTW!
an eddie reference! very nice.
if you don’t know geography … czechoslovakia is no more …
for about 10 years …
Yeah, neither is Babylon and Africa isn’t a country. Obviously it’s a joke.
Czechoslovakia split up to Czech Republic and Slovakia almost 16 years ago, update your map, amigo
Im from Slovakia.. American people always wonder how the heck can Slovaks and Czechs understand eachother’s languages even they never learnd them 
*facepalm*
*headdesk*
*starts stoking the fires*
I think the action you’re looking for here is *bootass*, as in gives a swift boot to the ass of the imbecile in need.
Ooh. Good thinking.
*BOOOOOT!!!*
Hehehe. That felt good.
Might I suggest that this is one of those instances I was referring to when I said that sometimes people on failblog aren’t as friendly to newcomers as they like to think they are?
.
Just an observation.
My goodness. You truly have no idea how things work here, do you?
But fine.
Teo…if my booting you because you did not get my joke or understand my quote, and because you assumed my ignorance rather than gave me the benefit of the doubt despite the fact that I do hope I have proven myself to be not entirely without brains or wits on this blog, caused you undue pain and suffering, I do apologize.
Educate me, please.
.
It seems like you are saying that it is a friendly thing to boot a foreigner in the ass because they didn’t get a joke that only British people and a few Americans would understand. Is that correct?
Nope. That’s not what I’m saying at all. Please read more carefully.
You take things very literally don’t you? This is a humo(u)r site. Most of what is said is meant in jest. Most.
You booted a foreigner in the ass, said it felt good to kick foreigners, & then claimed it was a fun thing to do. What am I supposed to think?
.
I think you need a *HUG*
Ok. I’ll try to explain.
I booted him/her because s/he felt the need to “correct” me despite the fact that the previous forty comments made it absolutely clear that 1) it was a joke, and 2) I had been directly quoting someone. I even told Loz that I was aware of the actual facts, but that I had not wanted to misquote and misrepresent someone else’s words.
It had nothing to do with being foreign or not (though in a place like this, we are all foreign to someone else). It had to do with the fact that this person felt the need to showcase his or her own knowledge in a completely inappropriate and unnecessary manner. Having been similarly booted myself several times in my early days here, I quickly learned the consequences of such pedantry.
(And teo…this time I truly do apologize. It was not my intention to get you all mixed up in this, and I hope you do understand that my original *BOOT!* was meant humo(u)rously, not maliciously. Mea culpa.)
Thank you for the in depth reply.
.
Remembering your early days on failblog, did you laugh when you got *booted*? Like I’ve said before, maybe I’m a little sensitive when it comes to foreigners. I can’t speak for Teo, but most foreigners I’ve met are easy to shock or embarrass, especially when they’ve been made the butt of a joke.
It’s the same for many native-English speakers.
All I wanted to do was point out an example for our earlier conversation. *shrug*
Oh, yes indeed, I laughed. Several times I winced and chuckled, and I think I once even guffawed.
If I had to live by one philosophy (and thank goodness I don’t) it would be, “If you can laugh at yourself, you’ll never run out of things to laugh about.”
We’re perfectly friendly to newcomers who try to learn the game.
lol, seems to me the game is “boot the newcomer in the ass.”
I’d rather not play that game, thanks
Then don’t. You’re not required to.
I’m not
I’d rather play a different game. What do you suggest?
urwrong: lol, seems to me the game is “boot the newcomer in the ass.”
.
No. The game is “boot the humorless twit in the ass”.
Longevity within the group is irrelevant.
That puts things in a new light, Raelalt. Thanks
Although, you can’t really call Teo a twit, since (s)he never had the chance to see an Izzard (sp?) show coming from Slovakia.
I can see why people wouldn’t be happy about someone ruining the joke, but there’s no call to be mean about it.
*boots urwrong in the ass*
And deservedly done.
humor or animosity? Gee, how am I to decide?
You know what? I don’t think I will. Either way a *HUG* is good!
*HUG*HUG*
I don’t want to play with you urwrong. It’s that simple. If you don’t want to play the game the rest of us are playing, you’re out of luck. The rest of us know how to make, and, more importantly, take a joke. Something you might want to look into.
Did you get beat up a lot in school?
the above was for urwrong NOT Avis
*BOOT TO THE FACE*
I believe is the correct response at this point, correct?
.
Aw, screw it. I like *HUGS* better!
*HUGS Raelalt*
Dude! I hope to hell you’ve had your shots.
aw crap, you mean you haven’t?

Damn, & that was my favorite sweater, too

Now, see, that might have been funny. That very thing (the blogmonster eating comments) has happened to all of us.
aw, thanks, Avis *blush*
I knew I’d make you lol one of these days.
I’d like to *_ _ _*, but I won’t.
Dude, Raelalt is not G. W. Bush.
I made a joke about bushes once…
No wait… that was about beavers. nvm
Somehow, maybe because a weird fetish, I enjoy the comments more than the fails. Everytime I get this odd feeling of being pleased and I don’t even have to play with myself.
This place is gold, I tell you, gold!!!
look your british, so scale it down a bit
All right, I want to work in a shoe shop then! Discover shoes that no one’s ever discovered right in the back of the shop, on the left.

so you’re from Maine?
I thought it was Mornington Crescent next?
Too bad Czechoslovakia doesnt exist for like… 15 years now but good try anyway
you also seem to not know geography – it goes Poland, CZECH REPUBLIC, Slovakia (you noticed the separation – good) and everything else is messed up, go back to school Emma!
“Czechoslovakia” – wat?
Izzard quotation win.
Not Czechoslovakia but Czech Republic and Slovak Republic they are not together (since 1992)
Ah, yes. Africa is a country. I thought it was a continent. Silly me.
FAIL. It’s no longer Czechoslovakia. Just the Czech Rep. and Slovakia.

Hi BondFan, nice to see you
*gives comforting pat on back*
lol, that’s not how you cheer someone up. You do it with *HUGS*
Try again. I know you can do it!
Not you again…
What’s wrong, McFail? Do you need a *HUG*?
I’ve got one if you need it.
No, I do not need a hug.
*gives comforting pat on back*
*disinfects McFail’s back*
I assure you my hands are most complete sterile & contain only helpful friendliness for maximum cheering.
They said the same thing about Asbestos!
BF I don’t think there’s any point in arguing with urwrong, it will only result in unwanted *HUGS*. He just doesn’t understand than no means no… or what a restraining order is.
Ready for the puns?
I keep you from getting burned & I was born a Cancer.
Wow, BFF! You’re psychic! *HUG*
I did not *HUG* you, McFail. I only copied & pasted the same *gives comforting pat on back* you gave. Golden rule, baby! If you can do it, so can I!
So if I jump off a bridge will you do it too?
Him first.
Avis! *HUG*
Don’t touch me. Don’t talk to me. I wasn’t talking to you.
Avis, looks like you have an admirer.
*admires Avis*
I could do with considerably less of his “admiration”.
You take him. Plllllleeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssse?
*admires McFail AND Avis*
McFail, that was not aimed at you. You know I wouldn’t do that, right?
lol
Who wouldn’t admire Avis?
Then again, I admire everyone.
Everyone is so friendly here!
.
.
.
*Please note the lack of HUGS in this post*
Nah, I’ll pass but thanks for thinking of me.
I assumed you did not mean me since I am not a he.
*continues admiring Avis*
*admires Blue2th*
Why, thank you! To both B2F and McFail!
my god this reply list is long!
*admires Avis*
What I wouldn’t give…
*admires urwrong’s smoking corpse*
Well, folks, it appears urwrong tried to hug a 100,000 volt transmission line. He may have had a little help, but there’s not enough left to run forensics on. Case closed, I guess. At least we won’t have to worry about cremation!
I had no idea!
Yay!
And there was much rejoicing!!!
You guys know why I pass out the *HUGS*, right?
It’s because you guys are so full of hate & animosity.
If you didn’t so obviously need the luvin’ I wouldn’t passing out the *HUGS*. Everything you guys post just shows me I need to give out more & better *HUGS*
.
*HUGS AVIS*
*HUGS £υηçhþöχ*
.
Plenty of *HUGS* to go around, folks.
If you really want to promote happiness and good cheer, quit it with the hugs. We don’t want them from you. We told you that. And furthermore, we weren’t even speaking to you. Yes, we were speaking about you. This is much like when you say something and we laugh, we’re not laughing WITH you. We’re laughing AT you.
Exactly what I was talking about, Avis.
There’s obviously something deep & unsettling troubling you.
I think you need a *HUG*, but out of respect for your wishes I now give you a *FRIENDLY HANDSHAKE OF FRIENDSHIP*
Well, urwrong, thank you for your considerate thoughts. If you realized that you were one of the major causes of that hate and discontent, would it change your behavior?
We are a very friendly bunch, and generally welcome newcomers openly. You walked in being argumentative, and have persisted in being a general pain-in-the-ass ever since. On a whole, I try to avoid your comments, because you don’t contribute to either the humo(u)r, conversation or comedy so prevalent in this blog. It seems, the same is true of most other regular commenters here. Is that really the kind of attention you want? I think if you put an equal amount of energy into being at least marginally creative, you’d be welcomed much more warmly.
Think about it for a bit. I don’t want you to think we don’t like you for no reason, and I’d rather not keep seeing you get flamed for being an ass. We waste too many comments on this silliness.
£υηçhþöχ, thank you for taking the time to write a constructive post. I appreciate it.
.
I have to admit that I don’t like it when I see people bully someone, especially when they have an unfair advantage, {i}doubly{/i} so when the subject of the bullying is something as inane as the language being spoken. Of course, I am referring to Diego here. After reading a flood of abusive replies, I decided to step in & do something about it.
.
Of course what Diego said about Americans was wrong, but then again our reply to Diego was even worse. I’m not going to apologize for doing the right thing.
.
Not, let’s turn to Avis. She is not without blame here. From her very first post, she has been hateful & abusive. At first, I replied with what I believed was an appropriate (i.e. equal) level of vitriol. Dragonwriter helped me see that this was the incorrect path to take. This was the path of An Eye for an Eye, rather than the Golden Rule ideal.
.
I really do believe that the level of hatefulness & abuse I have seen on this site is uncalled for, especially when it comes to newcomers. As logn as there is hate here, there will be *HUGS*
{i}doubly{/i}
lol, damn! I just can’t get the hang of this italicizing thing
No, it seems you can’t. And no matter how hard you try, you do not get to frame the argument. You are in the wrong here. You don’t know how it works here. Furthermore, no one wants a hug from you because you are insincere. And insincerity is insulting.
*facepalm*
Guys, I hope you don’t blame me for the onslaught of unwanted hugs and harassment. Had I known the result of those ill-fated words, I never would have uttered them.
First, use the greater-than/lesser-than symbols not brackets.
Second, Avis responded to you with due regard. We stick up for each other here, and she was doing so on behalf of someone else. I know she stuck up for ME on that particular thread, when I responded to Diego.
Third, the replies Diego got were at worst, on par with his ignorance and bigotry. He started out making hateful and ignorant statements, and that is what he received in return. I feel he had it coming, although in fairness many of the responses did justify his beleifs.
Finally, your “eye for an eye” practices AND your application of the “golden rule path” have been irritating at best. I can see by your response to me that you have the intellect to be witty and contributive here. Why not end the “hugs” campaign that is so obviously creating all of the hatred, and simply play with the rest of us?
*belIEfs. Damn, I was in such a hurry, I ignored the spell-check!
Dragon, NO we do not blame you. How could you know?
Avis, I completely agree. Urwrong is being contrite, and he knows it. I think, barring a rational response, in action not just words, I will return to ignoring him.
@Avis, you keep saying things like that, yet you never support them. You might not believe this, but if you actually could provide solid support for an argument then I would happily admit that you are correct. For example, when Dragonwriter corrected my spelling, or when Marius engaged me in conversation regarding Diego a couple of failblogs back.
.
@Dragonwriter, you might not believe this either, but your words actually have given me a new perspective. Just look at the kind of posts I was making on the Diego threads. However simple your words & in whatever level of seriousness in which you offered them, I genuinely feel better about reading failblog.
.
I really am completely sincere about what I am talking about. I know it is difficult to convey through these posts.
Whew. Thanks.
*looks left…*
*looks right…*
*HUG!*
Oh gad. That ^ was for Lunchbox.
Oh, and just as an aside (because I seem absolutely incapable of keeping my nose out of things)…
It is nigh-on impossible to accept your seeming “sincerity” when you insist on forcing your attention on those who do not want it. Were you truly “sincere” in your wish to spread goodwill, you would honor people’s wishes, personal space, and requests to be left alone. Your so-called “good will hugs” are a form of assault and you know it.
So no. I do not believe you are at all sincere in what you say.
So, Dragon, how are you?
@£υηçhþöχ
I appreciate the invitation.
Thanks for the tip! I should’ve remembered, heh.
.
“Second, Avis responded to you with due regard. We stick up for each other here, and she was doing so on behalf of someone else.”
-An Eye for an Eye & all that. I would repeat what Dragonwriter said about that sort of thing, but she seems to not like it when I bring it up.
.
“the replies Diego got were at worst, on par with his ignorance and bigotry. ”
-I disagree. The worst thing he said was in his first post deriding the person who cried “first!” I haven’t counted, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were at least a dozen hateful abusive replies before his next post.
So let’s compare: “lose your virginity” vs. “get fucked by Hitler”
I think it’s obvious which one is worse.
.
“Why not end the “hugs” campaign that is so obviously creating all of the hatred, and simply play with the rest of us?”
-Thanks!
Hello urwrong. You have yet to give me a specific example of a hateful post aimed at Diego.
Just ducky, thanks! Though I lost power last night, and I don’t think my phones are working yet, and the world is covered in ice and snow. Otherwise…
!
@Dragonwriter, I give *HUGS* to those who need them. No more, no less.
Their hate proves they need it.
You’ll noticed I haven’t *HUGGED* you today. I wanted to (cuz I’m such a friendly person), but I didn’t. You didn’t need it. *shrug*
@Marius
Wow, really? You don’t see anything in that thread that is hateful of Diego? It seems we are not connecting here. What would you need to see to understand that Diego was being attacked?
Oh, my! I hope it gets better soon! I still recommend Yak-Tracks. They’re like snow chains for your boots.
It’s about 6 degrees here, and the streets have turned white. Not with snow, but with ice. I’m doing my best to not go outside today.
Urwrong, what would you need to see that Diego initiated the attacks?
Urwrong–that is the most pretentious, self-serving, and arrogant thing I have read in a long, long time. And I read college freshman papers for a living.
I have no idea why you think you have the right to decide what people “need” and what they don’t, but I assure you…you have absolutely nothing that I need or want. So please have some respect and keep your distance from me.
Avis…I’m thinking I’m going to have to break down and get a cane. What do you think…maybe a sword cane? With a dragon’s head handle???
Hm. No. The temptation to skewer a student might prove too much for me…
As previous noted, I understand that Diego initiated the attacks. Even during my Eye-for-an-Eye days, I believe that the failblog response was overwhelming & unnecessarily hateful. In fact, on the Diego threads, you’ll see that I posted my belief that the failblog response substantiated his initial attack.
.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
.
Many people have attacked me, but I tried to make their day a happier place by returning a *HUG.* This is the true meaning of the Golden Rule. I don’t care how much hate a person feels towards me. I want to be friends, therefore I treat them in a cheering, friendly manner, giving *HUGS* where I think appropriate, or a *HANDSHAKE* where a *HUG* is not welcome.
.
Believe it or not, I feel that I have grown as a person over the last week because of these exchanges. I am grateful for that.
*joins the mutual admiration society*
Urwrong, I admit I can be a little slow at times, but, I would like to understand exactly at what point you felt the abuse occurred.
@Dragonwriter
“I have no idea why you think you have the right to decide what people “need” and what they don’t,”
-The same can be said of you, can’t it? If your posts to me do not warrant a *HUG*, then surely my posts do not warrant your hate. To put it another way, if you won’t accept my *HUGS* I won’t accept your hate.
*shrug* believe it or not, I really do hold you in high regard. That is one reason I could listen to your words & accept your critiques last week.
*welcomes Dragonwriter*
Great heavens. That post went to completely the wrong place.
*snork*
I mean…it couldn’t go to a more WRONG place, could it??
I had replied to McFail on a different thread entirely.
*snorkity snork*
@Marius, ok, that gives me something to go on. Give me a moment to go read the thread & I’ll be right back with a link.
You think I have been hateful?
I think I begin to see the problem. You keep using this word.
I do not think it means what you think it means.
lol inconceivable!
@Marius
Since I replied to this particular thread, I think I’ll go with…
http://failblog.org/2008/12/10/cult-procession-fail/?cp=all#comment-201476
.
Please notice that I am not defending Diego in my reply to that post. In fact, I refer Christopher to a post by ja fail. I do not speak Portuguese, but I don’t think that what ja fail said was entirely friendly. Again, although I can’t say for sure, I believe that ja fail’s post responded to Diego with an appropriate level of animosity.
.
After that, please note Avis’ reply to my post. Hate begets hate…
.
But no longer
Oh, to be absolutely clear, I believe the abuse of Diego occurred immediately with the first reply, but I felt that “abuse” was warranted, due to Diego’s hateful remarks. My issue with the abuse towards Diego is that it got WAAAAAY out of hand.
My reply to that post does not indicate hate.
That is true, but it wasn’t friendly either.
I responded with sarcasm, which is not hate either.
Do you realize just how many times you have contradicted your own statements during the past few days? I love how you just go around accusing others, and then present us with boldfaced hypocrisy when proven wrong.
For example?
From what I read Christopher’s reply was a rather gentle rebuke of Diego’s ignorant reply to Bondfan:
BF: Diego, you can’t expect every American to be bilingual.
Diego: Actualy, I don’t expect nothing from americans.
Chris: على الرغم من أن كنت تعيش أقرب إلى الدول الناطقة بالعربية ، وأشك في أن نفهم ما لكم حتى انا الطباعة على الآلة الكاتبة.Roughly translated, since there is a language attrition between the two, “Even though you probably live closer to Arabic speaking countries, I doubt that you can read what I just typed.
The point of this is that people in glass houses really should not throw stones. Sure, its easy to be snide at Americans, what with the grand sweeping accomplishments of your own country (snicker), but the very computer you are typing on owes its existence to Americans. By the by, no one in my family aside from me speaks Arabic.
To which you replied with a personal attack:
Urwrong: The average European speaks three languages. Case in point, we know Diego speaks at least two.
.
The average American speaks only one. Diego knows that & tried to accommodate us by using English. He even said so. Everyone outside of America knows that Americans can only speak one language. That’s why everyone studies English.
.
It would’ve been much more impressive if you addressed Diego in his native tongue, like ja fail did. As is, you just look like a pratt.
Avis replied: This would have been impressive had you not called Diego “European”.
Unless they moved Brazil.
Pointing out Diego had stated an hour before your comment he was from Brazil without a personnal attack on you.The only hateful comment in that exchange belongs to you Urwrong.
Thank you for taking the time to write that.
.
I would first like to point out that Christopher’s post did contain an attack. He was attacking Diego’s home country (which he believed to be Portugal at the time). I didn’t like the hypocrisy. He attacked Diego’s home country because Christopher felt it was bad for Diego to attack Christopher’s home country.
.
Also, & this is important, please notice my phrasing. I said that Christopher “looks like” a prat. You guys might feel like this is “arguing semantics,” but I at that point I did NOT call Christopher a prat.
.
As for my reply to Avis, I’ve already addressed that forty minutes ago. According to the rules of failblog, it seems I can *boot* you in the head now. Is a *boot* appropriate? Personally, I wouldn’t think so.
Only if it’s meant in jest. And clearly you don’t know how to joke.
Urwrong, I already stated Christopher rebuked Diego no need to point it out to me. You did not address this Hypocrisy in your reply, but Explained to all that Diego was trying to accommodate us by abusing Americans in English and then stating directly to Christopher “As is, you just look like a prat.” That is an insulting remark. Trying to cover it up with semantics is just poor form. I do not understand your last paragraph. I do not believe I asked you about Avis prior to my above post. If you are having a conversation with someone else on this matter I can not find it. Please enlighten me. As it stands you still seem to be the one who made a personal attack Urwrong.
I’m thinking of the part where Christopher says “what with the grand sweeping accomplishments of your own country (snicker)” which is a clear attack on Diego’s home country.
.
“Trying to cover it up with semantics is just poor form.”
-I agree, which is why I do NOT believe what I said is “arguing semantics.” I was trying to head off a counter-argument.
Anyway, my point is that “looks like a prat” gave Christopher room to back out of his earlier statement gracefully.
.
“I do not understand your last paragraph. ”
*boot to the head*
One step forward, two steps back dude.
*shakes head in disapointment*
And yes, most of your argument is about semantics. Accept this, with good manners, and move on already.
Again, if you could provide support for your statement, I would happily admit I was wrong.
.
The above *boot* was given in jest. The way things work around here, I don’t have to explain that. You guys are just supposed to know it.
.
If you would like me to explain the joke, I will.
Your reply to me last week about Diego living in Brazil was justified because Diego had revealed to us where he lives an hour earlier.
Therefore, my *boot* is justified for the exact same reason. already talked about “{Avis} Pointing out Diego had stated an hour before your comment he was from Brazil without a personnal attack on you.” forty minutes earlier than Marius’ latest reply.
The short answer is this: if you (any of you) can do it, I
.
You’re just going to have to deal with the occasional *boot*
I can go back to *HUGS* if you like.
“The short answer is this: if you (any of you) can do it, I can do it” (argh (><))
You know what? You are tiresome. You are willfully obtuse. You don’t want to play, you want to win. And you’re not winning so you have decided to be an ass. It is unbecoming.
You have been weighed. You have been measured. And, inevitably you have been found wanting.
Again & again & again I have asked you to explain your opinions, Avis. Would you please explain what you mean this time?
I really & truly don’t understand why you think I am “willfully obtuse.”
What is wrong with me playing with *boots*? I can count at least three other people who play with boots & you’re not mad at them. Why is it wrong when I joke with a *boot*?
STFU Dude
Can’t you just drop it? Please!?
This is supposed to be a FUN place.
Try to sit back a be “quiet” for a while/few days.
Go over to http://punditkitchen.com/ and get in a gripe/bitch session with someone with opposing views.
Go over to http://engrishfunny.com/ and post your heart out, they need all the extra commenting they can get and might even like you.
YOU and a few other “newbies” have come into FAIL Blog and essentially “crapped it all up” with nonsensical rants and garbage posts. Hopefully, by January you will have all assimilated or returned to your previous locations
No need to reply, I really don’t give a damn.
*scampers off*
oops! missed a somewhere….. sorry!
This… is so annoying. I’m not even going to get into it. Both sides insist they’re right and refuse to back down. We’re arguing over semantics and an eye for an eye. Just… stop.
*contritely offers spork a cookie*
*gives spork another cookie, sheepishly*
Hear hear!
Whopos! That ^ was meant to go under sporkie’s comment.
Mmm! Thanks for the cookies! *devours*
*hugs all around* *even… reluctantly… to urwrong*
Oh…! Um…
*confusedly takes back cookie she was about to offer fluffy*
I was just agreeing with Sporkie, and.. umm.. I’ll go get lost now.
I think we’re all a little confused…
Hee! I was just teasing you, since you said “Hear, hear!” after cookies and then recanted!
But hear…I mean, here. Have a cookie, fluffy.
*smooch*
YOU’RE confused?!?! Imagine how I feel! I have to live with this brain ALL THE TIME!
*happily munches cookie*
I think urwrong has his heart in the right place, he’s just going about this in slightly the wrong way. I don’t consider him a troll
Wow, go away for a ‘little’ while, and the whole place goes to war!!!???!!!
Loz- thanks for weighing in. Oh, and *hugs*… I haven’t said hi to you in a while, so I owed you that. I agree, urwrong has the capacity to be non-troll material.
Urwrong- dude, chill. This fight has gone on long enough, I addressed you earlier in a completely rational and considerate manner. So far, rather than backing off, you’ve managed to draw even more people into your private war against decency and friendship. All while claiming to be trying to assimilate. I really think you’re doing it on purpose now, since you are obviously smart enough to know what you’re doing.
I need one.
*!!!HUG!!!*
now go forth & post with cheer!
with cheer!
*headbutt*
Would you get your head out of there? You have no idea where that butt has been!
But the potato knows…
And the Vicar will never tell…..
The potato knows what it’s like to be an elephant handler.
Thanks. I really needed to be reminded of that particular fail.
first
you win everything ever
woohoo
Its Snow Crash. but real!!!
The Deliverator!!
*high-fives*
I.C. Weiner? pfff…
The noms has stones in it now. =(
OMG FIRST
Damn it, I’m never first. =( Now if you’d excuse me I’m going to go cry in a corner.
I’m sure you were already crying in a corner if that upset you.
double taze
is that the same as…the shocker?! Bwahahaha
Maybe you should try the Devastator? One in the pink, two in the… you get the idea.
That’s what she said.
“I don’t even know what that means”
Relax! I’m a leaf in the wind!
I think we need a button that says “Condem This Comment”. It would be a major improvement.
OMG…You’re Not!
I think there was some sheet metal on the street.
Obviously…
thats why he had to dump the pizza, it only had 39cm of sheet metal
I love it!! Good refjoke WB!
Maybe they serve sushi as well?
Ok, who ordered the gravel topping?
This is vulgar.
You’re French, of course it’s vulgar.
At least he didn’t take a oui on the pizza!
He mais not like the taste!
you coucher it’s a little gritty
He rueined that pizza.
Yes, he went on quite a terre!
What a pommebardment of puns!
Yes, they won’t recouvrer from that!
I bet the customer was wondering, “What’s the mettre with this pizza?”
He should have delivered it to the rire door…no camera there.
I love you all.
He might as well have took a crêpe on it.
LOL!
interlingual comment win!
C’est la wee…
What a dick.
Don’t worry… it’s fake.
it’s a dildo
***masturbates***
*watches* o.o”
*feeds mushrooms to the (lactose-intolerant) dog*
*Produces poops that turn into brown-nosed dwarfs with slingshots* (I poops now).
That deteriorated into perversion rather quickly.
MMmmm. Spicy peperoni and hot gravel, my favourite…
What’s ‘peperoni’?
Have a guess. Go on!
It’s very excited meat, with lots of zing!
I think that’s the innuendo machine in your pants, there, sweetie…
*looks in pants*
No, no Italian meat here, just grade-A beef.
*grin!*
Petite steak or short rib?
Sorry. Couldn’t resist. Okay, I didn’t even try.
Bwuaahahahahaaa….
More like Filet Mignon, too rich to be taken in large doses, but always available in whole pieces. And, very expensive.
It’s usual pepper but Americans just love to say stuff in other languages. That’s why they started the global financial crisis and that’s why the pizza guy dropped the pizza and that’s the way a-ha a-ha I like it a-ha a-I’m lost.
I’m American, and I caught that. And that’s the way the cookie crumbles. and that’s the way ah-ha-ah-ha I like it!
Bah, I’m not American; just an honest, old-fashioned spelling mistake. I’m crummy at the typings…
And I lost the game.
With sheet metal, too!
I think I would have to drive my ass down to where the pizza was ordered from and give the driver a good beat down for that one.
There should be a special place on hell for people who do this to your pizza. Pizza is a sacred and holy food
The sad thing is that the pizza tasted better.
What the hell did he do to the pizza? Spit or pee in it??
He dropped it.
And still served it to the soon-to-be disgusted customer.
Ah I see it now. I’m pretty sure whoever took this video footage would’ve sent it in to the pizza place and got this guy fired.
Let’s hope so, but just in case, you better check what’s in the next pizza you order.
FAKE FAKE FAKE.
Not fakefakefake. Happens all too often, there just aren’t security cameras around to catch it.
You should see what happens to those things before they even leave the shop! 5 friends in pizza joints, and I REFUSE to get delivery.
I usually poops on them. (I poops now).
it’s things like this that make me glad i hate pizza. i haven’t had pizza in five years.
epic fail
And it’s even funnier that there’s a Pizza Hut ad next to the video.
Honey! Pizza’s here- WHAT THE F*CK?!
i love how there are a bunch of pizza hut ads on this page
O_o *no comment except to say no comment*
LOL that’s some good fail
:O
:3nod:
YUMMY!!!! Pepperoni, extra cheese and hold the asphalt.
Ohhh even worse I’m sure that’s where the emplopyees of the recieving company spit and smoke and leave thier gum. *nomnomnomnom*
Emplopyees?
I didn’t know they could chew gum.
And ‘recieving’? Tsk tsk.
I think the British Government should abolish the ‘i before e except after c’ rule. It has too many exceptions.
That rule reminds me Jim Carrey:
i before e except after c, but we live in a weird society.
Scientists overseeing this research have shown that ancient languages have similar inconsistencies.
Weird Science? Profound!
At the height of the ancients’ powers, there was a surfeit of foreign, heinous, prescient heifers wearing peignoirs and veils who forfeited their consciences and deigned to ignore their feisty deities.
But that’s neither here nor there.
There it is!
*points*
*SQUEEZE*
*skidaddles while Dragon looks the other way*
*shows obeisance*
*yields sovereignty*
Thank you. And yes, Grammar police, I dropped that like a hot fresh, too-expensive pizza without sheet metal. Sorry.
They can’t chew gum the same way they can’t tamper with the food or deliver tainted or exposed food. Yeeaaahhh, we saw how well that worked out.
Pizza – Now hand fortified with extra minerals!
Yum.. Crunchy.. *tooth*
Tooth?!
So we can verbatize nouns now?
Sure, picked it up from the Japanese “ha suru”
verbatize?…tsk,tsk.
Maybe he/she/shim was calling me?
I just follow a long in a stalkerly manner. -stares-
I believe the correct infinitive is “to verb.” It’s featured in one of my favorite
Calvin and Hobbes comics.
It’s the new street lover’s pizza.
“Streetza Streetza” (you’re on fire today, AA!)
Woops. Sorry, my bad.
*extinguishes fire*
I got a little overenthusiastic this morning.
*sheepish grin*
Don’t make me come over there with my large-diameter hose, Dragon. You really don’t want to get that wet…
Ooh, you got it working again!
…Um…the innuendo machine, I mean.
*grin*
What? Where? Working??? Oh, you weren’t talking about fire this time? *looks down dejectedly* I was hoping to get some work… something hot, maybe?
.
(sorry, shop-talk. Fires are referred to as ‘jobs’ or ‘workers’, and fighting fire is ‘going to work’ or ‘catching work’. I’m bored today, I just can’t help it…)
Woops. Sorry, my baaad.
*extinguishes fire*
I got a little overenthusiastic this morning.
*sheepish grin*
I just wanted to get your goat.
You’re such a kid-der.
I knew that ewe would like it.
I want to digg your comment.
But…..Can you digg it? Couldn’t help myself
I can dig it, he can dig it, she can dig it, we can dig it, they can dig it, you can dig it. Oh, let’s dig it. can you dig it, baby?
*puts down shovel*
You refer to “he, she, we, they”… where the hell are all these people?? I need some help here!!!
Um. . .were you wearing a wig while dancing with that shovel?
*Grazing in the Grass, by the Friends of Distinction*
*holds out a dollar bill to Lunchbox*
By the way Lunchbox is a great stage name.
*puts dollar bill in the box*
…Is that the same as paying the kitty…?
Snort! You poke you pay!
I think the the REAL question is:
Baby Can You Dig Your Man?
I want to poops on his comment! (I poops now).
Isn’t that the one with extra ground beef?
*chuckle*
…and cameinvert cheese.
I think this is the funniest comment I’ve ever read. Kudos to you, Admiral!
Thank you Deodand!!
if ur not gonna eat it..can I…uh…have a piece…plz?
No, im just going to throw it in an alley and watch two hobos fight over it and record it.
*does it*
Who wants to watch the blood and gore?
Next up, the gay porno “Wolfgangmunzerl2 gets gang raped in prison”.
I TOLD him to buy soap on a rope.
yummy
Is this a Tip Win?
Again with the leper jokes?
that’s just mean.
how average of you
That’s what she said
don’t make this harder than it has to be
That’s what he said
I think they’ve misinterpreted Feasting on Asphalt.
Indeed…Alton Brown would not approve.
lol
Unless he discovered some socially relevant method of actually cooking on hot asphalt. I’m sure there’s some culture somewhere that cooks with hot rocks…
Iceland cooks mainly with hot rocks, heated by steam from underground volcanic action. *kills self for knowing this*
oooh, wouldn’t it be cool if Alton Brown went to Iceland to do a Feasting on Asphalt with Bjork?
.
Or does Bjork from Greenland? Crap, pop culture fail…
*cough*cough*
Or does Bjork COME from Greenland…
.
I was not advocating foody Brown on Bjork pr0n…
not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Iceland cooks mainly with electricity and gas like the rest of the civilized
world. They aren’t cavemen. Broke, yes, cavemen, no.
They even have roads! and houses! And internet!
I went there over the summer. Before they went bankrupt.
You killed yourself for nothing.
Yeah… I was just hoping HHNF was joking!
I’m going to Iceland next year hopefully, if it was extortionate before their economy collapsed I dread to think how expensive it is now… *cries*
Do it! It’s worth it. Blue Lagoon, Golden Triangle Tour,
the boiling mudpits, glaciers, and Vik, the black beach.
Vacation of a lifetime!
Welllll of course it may cost you your firstborn to eat anything
that grows. But I survived on Beikon/Pepar snakks, Kremkex,
and Skyr. (Chip-like snacks, cream filled sandwich cookies, and
a local kind of yogurt.) Also, there is a plethora of fresh bakery goods.
Actually, I visited Iceland this last summer with my geology class, and almost ALL of thier heating is geothermal. We went to an incredibly fancy resturaunt and found that they shared hot steam with several other resturaunts on the block, to do dishes, heat food and ovens, etc. Most houses are heated that way as well, along with the ridiculously expensive hotel we stayed in, and the pools, etc. So yeaaah. I know they aren’t cavemen, they just use what they have and can’t see a reason to pay for it.
so many peoples did, back in the day… anyone for a luau?
oh yeah, forgot about that one
What? No tip?
Tip: DON’T DROP MY FREAKIN PIZZA!!!
(Sorry for shouting. Street Pizza and Sewer Soda for everyone.)
looks like a win to me
delivery boy win, until he gets back to the shop
i see a win here
lol
he accidentally the pizza.
Accidenty, accidenty..
That’s the spirit!
*welcomes petmousse into Failblog Community*
Awww thank you.. I was hoping I would eventually be accepted here.
Just one thing. I was able to find the meaning of Moomin,
and I understand the bukkit concept, and I even locked up a few trolls
on some other forums. But I can’t seem to find the meaning
of the verb Foom….
Hee…!
I made it up, petmousse. It’s the word I use to signify when I have used my dragon-flame, whether I’m *FOOOM!*ing a troll of merely toasting a friend’s crumpet for them.
And can I introduce you to the shellacked halibut? Here…allow me to demonstrate.
*replaces “of” with “or” in previous comment and thwacks self with said halibut*
*FOOOOM* is exclusively Dragonwriter’s verb, (though we may ask her to FOOOOM someone).
To FOOOOM is to have the “Dragon” shoot her fire at and burn up / crispy someone, troll / idiot for travesties they’ve committed.
Hope that explains. Welcome to FAIL Blog!
Pssst…Skwerlly Bob…thanks for the note…very cool cane! What do you think of the one I posted on the Pen Drive fail (if you can find it)?
Pssst #2…ye gods, bite your tongue, man, NO!!!
Sheesh.
sry… i accidenty the spealing.
Who, Tori? I hope you two don’t end up with accident kids!
Don’t over do it
wel, u shuld a speel cheeker
Engrish, anyone?
He accidenty the pizza…
I’d accidenty his car/job/face after seeing the security tape
He accidenty the pizza…
No it wasnt accidentally done, it was the beginning of the Pizza Boy Delivery Revolution!
Viva La Revolution!
I call fakesies… why would he put the box on the car hood, anyway? You only need one finger to ring the doorbell.
Plus he puts it back in the box way quickly and messed up. If he had time to replace the pieces properly and pick off the gravel, then MAYBE…
Omg first I can’t habeeb this!
You suck on so many levels, even Dante wants nothing to do with you.
Now that [i]was[i/] [b]funny[b/] — I love these videos
Um… Try using the alligator mouths instead of the brackets next time.
was etc..
And putting the slashes in the right place…
{i}alligator{i/} mouths?
(lets see if it works…)
Fail at Naming Fail. There is no Pizza Delivery failure in this video. The pizza is 100% successfully delivered. It may not have been intact, and it may not have been the way most would prefer it to occur. However, it was in fact delivered.
You need to be poopsed on.
I vote that we roll LID down a hill, so that the crocodiles can have him/her/it (over) for lunch
sumwun is KNIT PICKIN. pizza fell on floor, customer didn’t ask aids for extra toppin.
Pizza Delivery Fail indeed but its also a Pizza Delivery Boy WIN
Not for long, once they open the box he’s going to be employment-challenged.
Anpu wonders if this pizza delivery guy was working for Nasty Resturant? Or Sneaky Resturant. Anpu doesn’t know.
I think he was working for SleasY.
Oops, I meant SleaseY. I accidenty the e.
buba thinks it’s because the man ordered a napoli pizza. The pizza is made with plastics, banana skins and other garbage. The video shows the last stage of pizza conception: gravel + cigarette butt sprinkling. This makes buba hungry.
BondFan is concerned Buba speaks in the third person.

Don’t worry, he was just firing his laser
HAY! WHERED’ MAI HOUSE GOH!?
Who cares, as long as you go the hell back to icanhascheezburger or icanhashotdog. Lolspeak is not tolerated in these parts, just so you’re aware.
This pizza place should be firin’ theys LABOR.
you sir, win all of the internets ever.
A little quick on the trigger aren’t you? And you wonder why they never come back for seconds…
keep d’change ya filthy animul…
i new to failblog comment too, do i get home alone reference win plx?
No.
doh.
I’m having trouble understanding your post Avis. In the future please be more concise.
lol
*snork*
doh.. :$
It’s ok MrAjay, I got the reference. It was just….ok.
good try though.
meanie. ;(
VERY rarely are prizes given here. And sometimes? Sometimes it’s better NOT to click on the link. Trust me.
your intimidation is failing…
nice to meet you.
I’m not trying to be intimidating. I’m trying to be helpful.
*… drats, she’s right*
well…. thnx, but i still think the home alone ref is funni.
i’ll keep it to myself next time. (Y)
oops spammed, my internets isn’t as fast as urs, wait up.

OMG OMG OMG!!!! THATS THE MOST ORIGINAL, FUNNIEST COMMENT EVER!
I ENVY YOU! YOU KICK ASS! ALL HAIL BARIS UNVER!
You know, sarcasm works better if used in smaller doses…
I just got back from firin my lazor, give me a break
Ok, one can have quite a rush from firing one’s laser – you’re excused.
Hold out your arm.
Shut up guys, I’m new at commenting on FailBlog. I’m learning.
learn fast, or else you’ll find yourself like He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named
*shifty eyes*
There are a few of those. And Baris, acknowledging that you’re learning is a good thing. It is appreciated.
I promise that I’ll do better at the (in the?) next fail. (on the???)
Oooh…we have a pesky preposition infestation!
*goes to get the preposition repellent*
You’re already showing promise! : )
That ^^ will not win any gold points around here. Just a friendly tip from your local 2thFairy.
It’ll keep us from killing him out of hand. For a while anyway.
Here’s another helpful hint, Baris. Study posts by “urwrong” and “lactose-intolerant dachshund”, then do exactly the OPPOSITE of them.
If spreading the love is wrong, then, baby, I don’t wanna be right!
*HUG*
Scroll up, urwrong, I left you a message in another thread.

That’s it. Hand over the name.
Nice to meet you! First rule of failblog: familiarity breeds contempt.
Put to be purebreed contempt it needs to be half white/half french?
B careful with your typing. That’s all I’m going to say.
How ’bout I b careful with my *SQUEEEEEEEEZE!*ing instead?
I remember poopsing right where he dropped the pizza! (I poops now).
still poopin?
*Post “Please do not feed the troll.” sign*

Thank you for adding the “S” to B2F’s post. It made absolutely no sense without it. I poops now, but you’re a picky little sh!t.

Me love you long time. (I poops now).
Just like my dog(Which, ironically, is a dachshund). Poops in the most inconvienient places(like my room…).
thats a place conveniant for the dog, rite?
Wherever the dog is is convenient for the dog.
my dog is smart (long haired german sheperd) and poops on clothes that need to go in the wash.
wow you should really get that looked at
Mmmmm! Asphalt flavor is my favorite!
rly? mines pebble dashed drive flavour.
There were two boxes in the bag. If you look carefully, he put the box with dirty pie back in the bag on top of another box (containing an apparently clean pie). Then he takes out the box on the bottom, leaving the dirty box in the bag and giving the customer a new pie. They must’ve both been the same type of pizza.
…. naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
Those chain pizza restaurant pizzas are all the same. Dropping it on the asphalt could only improve it.
MAYBE he put the dropped pizza back in the bag and gave the customer a different pizza from the same bag. Those in
