i’m sorry it was just killing me bc i’ve never gotten first b4 and i just randomly decided to get on today and BOOM – no comments on “partners in fail” …
*SQUEEEZE*
That’s an extra special one with four E’s.
I did comment earlier saying three E’s right in this very spot, but it said it was a duplicate comment and none appeared.
Maybe soon all will appear and you’ll receive the squeezing of a lifetime.
Maybe none of the comments will post at all.
*wanders down a windy lane to the credits music from Incredible Hulk*
i promise if i ever get first again i will not say first… not even a little thing like “i didn’t say first”… i will actually try to say something sensible…
it just depends what your definition of sensible is…
And don’t forget the quintessential letting down of the hair while shaking your head back and forth in slow motion in front of an industrial strength fan yet none of the books move.

wow it’s kind of cool that in less than ten minutes, we already have 20 comments… and according to these partners in “education” that would be 25 comments
i don’t know, but that would be interesting… toast, life cereal (which Mikey likes), more toast, more life cereal, and more toast (which will be on the bottom in a second…)
Oh, you’re so sweet and innocent! *cheekpinch* Don’t worry, we’ll fix that in a jiff. Now, lie down here on Ry…uh… on this slice of nice, soft bread… Now relax, it won’t hurt as much. (the rest is censored).
God: “Now Salmon… I’ve got something a bit special for you.. you’re gonna swim upstream.. and when you get to a waterfall you’re gonna leap and leap and leap… and swim upstream and then leap and leap and leap… then you’re going to lay your eggs and then die”
Salmon “er… we’d be perfectly happy with Doggy Fashion”
God “You salmon you really piss me off…. you’re too expensive in restaurants that’s your problem!”
IT’S A FAKE!!! CHECK OUT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE PAPER, THAT IS DEFINITELY PHOTOSHOP!
BTW I WAS THE first TO FIND OUT THAT IT’S A FAKE, AND YOU STILL HAVE TO SUPPORT peta!
Oh no honey. It’s Tom. His mother should have had an abortion and I am hoping a late term abortion will still work. I sent her a case of condoms so she won’t bring more Tom’s into this world.
Tom’s mom climbed down from the mountain to buy her
yearly condom at the town store and complained
when the shopkeeper charged her $2.25, “It said two
dollars on the box, whats the 25 cents for?”.
.
“For the tax.”
.
“you mean they don’t stay on by themselves?”
I am sad to say this is in the state I just recently started calling home They lie. First I thought it was a base full of military men and now their math is all askew? I wanna go back to Florida where Jeb Bush made the school system so much better *coughchokecough* I can’t even type that without choking on my own bile.
Because you can’t substract a 9 from a 0 wihch is NOTHING !!!
That’s how Mrs. Herte’ at Fort Smith High said! “If you ain’t got nothing how can you take it?”
Sadly (as I am from Arkansas) I think it’s real. There are a few others up in the right corner -which made me question why there were three of this magazine, but the one to the left says “do not remove from visitor’s center.”
So, I guess my question is, has it only been 15 years, or did they actually start in 1982?
I’m probably thinking way too much about this, right?
*going to get life.*
Sad Arky, you didn’t just celebrate the birth of your 18th child did you? I was wondering what they do for fun in Arkansas, now I know. They have lots of sex and lots of children, at least one couple does.
More than 5 years younger than I am is too young for me to date. I have learned this the hard way. Any more than a 5 year difference and we cease to have much in common.
I perfer the formula (Your age/2) + 8 for the low end, and the sky’s the limit for the high end.
.
.
Maturity-wise, however is a bit more tricky. The old adage, “with age come wisdom” is a lie. I have 55 year-olds that end up having to crash at my house because they can’t figure out that electricity and water need to be paid every month. And still can’t clean up after themselves after missing the toilet. Grrrr…
Ok, off that… but conversely, the young can still be pretty wise and profound. Look at some of our commentors.
.
*Hops off soapbox*
I’m from Fort Smith and I can assure you that it is real. What’s embarrassing is that they refused to pull them even after they realized the mistake so for a solid month these were still out there at libraries, hotels, visitor centers, etc.
I’ve been to Fort Smith, and I can attest that it is the sorriest hellhole I have ever been misfortunate enough to patronize. The hotel was unspeakable, every second lot was a grimy used car dealership, presumably so that the residents can flee across the border into Oklahoma. I have no trouble believing that this would come from there….and I’m not surprised it took ‘em a while to notice.
I was actually in Fort Smith a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was a nice town. Lots of parks, lots of stores, a nice little mall, easy access to lots of stuff right off of the interstate. I guess you have to actually be from small-town to appreciate a place like that.
I lived in Fort Smith, Arkansas for three years (Feb 2005 – Apr 2008), including when this was published. The powers-that-be aka The Good Ol’ Boy Network runs the city. They are stupid, immensely powerful, morally bankrupt, incompetent and extremely paranoid and unwelcoming of outsiders. Hell, the Vietnamese have been there for over thirty years and they are still not accepted in the business community, unless they open a manicure parlor or restaurant (best restaurant in Fort Smith is a hole-in-the wall Pho place. Awesome food! One of those places you have to eat at before you die!). That city will only grow because of either the native hoity-doities multiply or more minorities breed, thus the poorer neighborhoods expand.
This magazine cover of entertainment Fort Smith is a true representation of the populace.
This is what ends up happening all over the country with that “no child left behind” method for making our entire country retarded. No longer can we keep all the “special” people in pockets of the country like Arkansas. It is a sad day for American superiority.
I live in Fort Smith and know the editors personally… Whoever said they did earlier is a liar. He? They’re both women. It’s a horrible typo, it was supposed to be 1982.
XD It’s pretty hilarious though. Public schools = fail.
Oh my god… this is my city’s magazine. v.v Don’t I feel proud? I can explain: Fort Smith is in Arkansas. xD
And I was thinking of working for them…. *sigh*
wow.. i will never look at the education system the same way again…
P.S. i didn’t say FIRST… danget
You just had to add that first in there didnt you…ts…
i’m sorry it was just killing me bc i’ve never gotten first b4 and i just randomly decided to get on today and BOOM – no comments on “partners in fail” …
You always make me want toast.
You always make me want to run naked through the forest.
Darn. They always manage to escape.
It’s those cheap vinyl restraints you use. Get the leather ones next time.
Indeed.
Such comments always make me go like WTF.
If you have never been in love, you wouldn’t understand.
love = forest + nakedness
.
or is it the other way around?
love + forest = nakedness.
I’m about three months late for this, but I was looking through old comments and I felt I needed to say:
EQUALITY FAIL
Thank you.
you always make me cover my eyes and run away from the naked guy…
Ryannon is a girl…
*watches Ryannon run through the forest naked* Nothing…it does nothing for me
oops *awkward silence*
What if I run with a lovely bouquet of “flowers”? And thank you for defending my feminine virtue.
That works for me!
Ry, flowers or no, I would be proud to watch you run naked through a forest… Heck, you’ve done it often enough in my… oh, wait, it that TMI???
I think the “flowers” Ryannon was referring to was the image Mookie posted.
Amiright?
The penis bouquet? That was me.
lol
Man, I get blamed for everything…
Not everything
Pssst. Check your IM…
*shudder*
Yup. Thanks, I had almost managed to forget..
It’s engraved in my mind. I tried the brain bleach, but it didn’t work.
Well I have a rasp usually used to
remove serial numbers from weapons..
Careful though, you might accidenty
your motor skills.
What motor skills? I’m the clumsiest person I know!
*promptly packs and moves back to NJ*
*Promptly packs himself into one of Ryannon’s suitcases*
Doesn’t do much for me, either, but hey…gettin’ nekkid on Failblog has become something of a tradition. I say go for it.
Technically, he only said you were a girl. Nothing about virtue… which I suspect is in the eye of the beholder/reader
By virtue of him stating it, he defended her femininity.
There, there, don’t worry. It did something for me for the both of us.
… NOT LIKE THAT!
Something for you for the both of you??
Wow. That’s… quite a claim.
It is also atrocious english. I’m surprised a halibut hasn’t came my way yet.
INCOMING…!!!!
*thwack!*
Ow.. I accidenty my tongue. What can I do?
Eat an action herb?
He needs to clean it out first.
*gives Christopher some cilantro*
You always make me want to buy a videocamera and bag of mushrooms.
I imagine that would be fun!
I don’t even like mushrooms.
Awesome, a movie about mushrooms!
The problem is that this fat moustachioed italian plumber keeps on jumping on them.
and shooting the dog on his way out.
or… was it mushrooms for the dog and steal the camera…?
No. It must be my bed time.
You should get a bod avatar.
I don’t understand how that works.
You can link an avatar to your email address at gravatar.com
And I just looked up the wiki for Bod and found there was a character called Aunt Flo. *shudders*
Yay! I want an Aunt Flo!
Wait…
*Snuck into thread*
*Pantsed the pootle!*
*Ran away snickering*
*sigh…*
Still thinking.
*SQUEEEZE*
That was an extra special one with three E’s.
You don’t get many of them.
*flies away thinking happy thoughts*
*SQUEEEZE*
That’s an extra special one with four E’s.
I did comment earlier saying three E’s right in this very spot, but it said it was a duplicate comment and none appeared.

*wanders down a windy lane to the credits music from Incredible Hulk*
Ooh…! A double squeeze!
Nah, not my kinda fetish. Just curious, is it a female fat moustachioed italian plumber with big boobs and a bubbly butt?
It could be for the right amount of money.
I have seen a female Link, but a female Mario? So wrong!
Marionette?
Are you pulling his strings?
Um, her. Her strings.
Maria.
It’s Hunting Season! Caution!

deardeerhorses.i promise if i ever get first again i will not say first… not even a little thing like “i didn’t say first”… i will actually try to say something sensible…
it just depends what your definition of sensible is…
Hose and a nice pair of librarian shoes would be good.
and your hair up in a bun with those cute black framed glasses …
*cough*bcg’s*cough*
I see, with my bcg’s, what you did there.
‘birth-control-glasses’??? WTF would s/he wear bcg’s when trying to look like a sexy librarian?
Because the librarian looks so sexy when she takes them off and shows her beautiful eyes.
/is librarian
And don’t forget the quintessential letting down of the hair while shaking your head back and forth in slow motion in front of an industrial strength fan yet none of the books move.
*pants*
Omg, you dewey that beautifully…
Alas, if something were only a little larger than a decimal…
Systematically gathers up all the decimals and makes several ellipses.
*faces wrong direction as hair blows around
and covers face*
Dangit.
The air circulation is wrong, petmousse. It’s not you.
And hee…I’ve done that hair-letting-down thing. Though I could never get the slow motion thing quite right…
It’s a perspective thing, Dragon. The mind of the viewer has to be racing.
Here…can I practice on you?
*reaches up to loosen a hairpin…*
*Across the world, Christopher stops in his tracks*
“Somewhere… it feels like something sexy is about to happen…”
Dragon, you chicane get me revved up!
*slooooowly pulls pin from knot and the dark-red loosened curls begin to tumble down…*
I’ll have you feeling you’re in the lap of luxury.
*tries to harness in his desire*
*tilts chin up and swings head ’round as the long tresses–exultant in their freedom after long hours of imprisonment–flow exuberantly outward*
*admires the Admiral’s pole position*
*smoothly negotiates around the esses*
*turns head back in opposite direction as the silken curls reach the height of their swing, sunlight from the open window glinting off the russet highlights*
*enjoys the acceleration from the Admiral’s standing start*
*takes the lead and begins lapping the field*
*becomes very still as the long curls chase each other and come to rest down her back, like a waterfall for eager hands to drown themselves in*
*pours a drop of vermouth chassis on the Admiral’s lips and leans in for a taste*
*takes Dragon in his arms and lifts gently*
*with weight now shifted forward, eases us gracefully in against the wall*
Am I going to get a penalty for rubbing…?
*picks up the pace*
Brace yourself, this tight suspension will throw your feet in the air if you let it.
*begins to come down the front straightaway*
*lays back and strokes*
And I was not disappointed *prepares a cold shower*
(Who knew racing terms could be so…so racy?? )
That was just a preliminary heat. You finish first, second, and third in the Grand Prix tonight.
(Sorry viewers, pay-per-view only)
*slow smile*
You bring the champagne. I’ll bring the Gatorade.
I think we’re both going to need it.
Dear Lord!
That’s what she…er, I mean I said.
*grin*
I kinda want to say, “*Masturbates*”
But it feels so.. inadequate here.
Me thinks Dragonwriter needs to be writing romance novels!
*goes into overdrive*
Ah, yes. We practice that at library school. The male students learn how to look scholarly, even while drunk. (most fail)
Purchasing at wholesale not retail.
He failed to not say It.
FIRST!
Math looks good to me. Check it:
2007 -1992 (+ invisible 10) = 25.
Everyone forgets to add the invisible 10.
looks photoshopped?
If someone with those math skills comes through school, they weren’t only partners in education if you catch my drift…
*gets swept away in drift*
*nudge nudge, wink wink*
Say no more…
Well, ok… no more
Your, uh, your wife, does she go, eh, does she go, eh?
There she goes,
there she goes again,
Racing through my brain,
And I just can’t contain,
This feeling that remains.
*sprinkles pixie dust on MikeyD*
MikeyD sprinkles when he tinkles, he doesn’t need more sprinkling.
Does he have an inkling?
No, but when he walks he’s crinkling.
HAA! Monty Python reference WIN!!
So you got it? Srsly? Like, really? For sure now?
Phew…and I thought I hadn’t made it obvious enough…
I got it, but they say a course of penicillin will clear it up. So apparently I have you to thank for this? Thanks for owning up.
Oh, I umm…need to go now…
*hushes off*
A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat
woah mookie i just realized… what happened to the cow picture?
People kept confusing it with a horse and offering elephant rides on her.
or threatening to cut off its head
to put in the bed
of an italian shop owner
to intimidate him
But he didn’t know Mookie so it had no impact on him
To know Mookie is to love the head she gives err her cow head.
LOLSTUFME!
yes, LOLSTFUYOU! ;P
LOLSTUFFME!
H R Pufnstuf.
Witchy Poo.
Polka Dotted Horse
Why would I polka with a dotted horse? You know I can’t dance, my friends don’t dance, and they’re no friends of yours.
But…but we can leave the whole world behind.
FAIL!
Of course this has to be Arkansas.
I know, right? *sigh*
-says an Arkansas resident, who thankfully lives a full hour away from Ft. Smith
I know :/
Sadly, I am from there. But I escaped!
Chalk this one up to poor editing.
I’m board with this fail.
Their math teachers have lots of problems.
They should dust off their old textbooks. This new math isn’t working so well.
Meh. I like the marble table.
Is it elemental?
No, emmental. Stop being so cheesy.
But don’t be blue Ry, he curd’ve gone further…
Brie nice, I’m tired.
Well here’s a pillow, just in casu marzu fall asleep.
(Google it..)
Dammit. I had an eraser pun all set, and then you guys go and change it to cheese puns.
Havarti people on this blog gone nuts?? I ask you.
Go ahead and use it anyway. I’ll clap afterword.
No, its transparent
Seriously. Apparently I’m 27 years old this year!
Those must be dog years.
In cougar years 2007-1992=5 years.
The editor is barking mad.
The writer’s pooched.
I think this is a case of the tail wagging the dog.
His bark is worse then his bite.
the editor should definitely flea the business.
He probably developed a nervous tick about this math.
Now he’s shedding some tears.
I hope he manges to get that under control.
At leash he had a go at tailing up the figures.
That story worms my heart.
He should scratch out his career as a mathematician.
Maybe he was SIT!-ting on his calculator when he edited this edition?
I beg to differ with you, he had no calculator.
I love it when you beg, now you get the treat.
Here, let me fetch you some more.
I’ll turn on the sub-woofer for better sound.
It’s the leash he could do.
Oh SNAP DrB!
*crackle*
*snaps DrB*
*cries*
I’m so sorry, I was just following orders.
Nooooooooooooooooooooo.
I…gah…ahhr….Mikey? Not you?! *gulps air*
*slips into pain/shiraz induced coma…for about 12 hrs*
*runs away*
Oh, to hell with it. I miss my daily squeeze.
*SQUEEZES the pootle!*
Ahhhh. I feel better.
But not the same, is it?
As a product of the American public school system, I can’t find the fail in this.
I wonder how many people used a calculator to confirm this fail.
then you fail at finding the fail. I’m not sure if you are being ironic or sarcastic…
Just all-around witty, actually.
Hahahahaha.
You’ve run rings around him, humorously.
It’s probably a woman, so would that make it femurously?
James is probably a woman? If you say so, I won’t make no bones about it.
Yes and he recently gave birth in California.
You’ll make no bones…? I beg to differ.
(…did I just type that out loud??)
Perhaps you’d like to stir the pot?
Me? I’m stirring the bukkit and then…
*DUNK*
Heee. Now that is a rare sight indeed.
Only if it’s a honeypot.
My fermurouly’s connected to my….hip bone…
I’m not sure if you’re being redundant or repetitive…
The best part is Entertainment Fort Smith was started in 2000, not 1992.
wow it’s kind of cool that in less than ten minutes, we already have 20 comments… and according to these partners in “education” that would be 25 comments
We hit 25 comments when we had 15 comments. At 20 comments we could be anywhere between 30 and twelvety-one.
According to my math that’s more than half!
Was it your math or did you delegate to christopher?
*sigh* It was mine, Christopher’s too busy reading up on “Success and Sex in the workplace”
Oh, I’ve been done for a while. It was just a pamplet that said “go for it”.
*Reviews McFails math* Hmm… this is clearly more than half.
*goes to work with Christopher*
Hmmm…. 360 degrees simply isn’t enough for this pie graph…
Let me know when he’s halfway in.
I don’t halfway my dictation, Mookie.
Good man. *recommends Chris for a rise*
stupid non-automatic-refreshing pages…
Oi! The toast is supposed to go on the outside of a sandwich! How did you split my double-post?
i don’t know, but that would be interesting… toast, life cereal (which Mikey likes), more toast, more life cereal, and more toast (which will be on the bottom in a second…)
Woah, it turns out that I do!
And there was me thinking I had never heard of it, but that was a long time ago.
Mikey likes being on the bottom.
Let’s teach him what it’s like to be in the middle!
Are you implying I’m a piggie?
Oh, you’re so sweet and innocent! *cheekpinch* Don’t worry, we’ll fix that in a jiff. Now, lie down here on Ry…uh… on this slice of nice, soft bread… Now relax, it won’t hurt as much. (the rest is censored).
Bottom, top, middle, across the street in voyeur position #6, it’s all good.
Iguana style?
Salmon style?
God: “Now Salmon… I’ve got something a bit special for you.. you’re gonna swim upstream.. and when you get to a waterfall you’re gonna leap and leap and leap… and swim upstream and then leap and leap and leap… then you’re going to lay your eggs and then die”
Salmon “er… we’d be perfectly happy with Doggy Fashion”
God “You salmon you really piss me off…. you’re too expensive in restaurants that’s your problem!”
Dragon style. I’m not entirely sure what it entails, or whether or not it’s even legal, but it is guaranteed to be smoking hot.
Better believe it, buster… *wicked grin*
We hit 25 comments when we had 15 comments. At 20 comments we could be anywhere between 30 and twelvety-one.
and voila… the final piece of toast…
Let us raise our glasses!
Beer for our horses?
Whiskey for the (wo)men!
I was just trying to include all the schmexy sexes!
P.S. I’d rather have spiced rum
That is nice.
*bogarts all the mead*
That’s the ridleyest thing I ever heard.
being frisky for the ho men.
My kingdom for a horse. Meh, I’d rather have beer.
*pours*
So, come here often? You will if I’m around!
I think she prefers oblong to round.
It’s all about circumference, my friend, it’s all about circumference.
Lunchbox! You have the Innuendo-3000 set to 11!
Kerchink!
*slurps*
I don’t get what the fail is, they’ve been partners for 25 years
get a calculator…
nevermind I get it, 2007 – 1992 is only 15. fail
Did you count the leap years?
He jumped over them.
Lol.
At FIRST Blow-me one Kenobi supported PETA!
25 people support PETA.
So there are 15 REAL supporters for PETA?
Let’s check that… everyone that supports PETA make yourself heard (read: read)!
I think Godsmack is better than Megadeth but Metallica and Slipknot pwn both of them any day, and Metallica is slightly above Slipknot. lol, off topic
just a little…
What are your feelings on periwinkle? Is it blue or purple? Off topic indeed but I say “go big or go home”. Well done!
Thats what she said.
Ahh…this brings back memories of non-seq, doesn’t it?
My parsley and oregano is coming along just nicely. Off topic, I know.
Just to stay off topic, did you know that you are twice a likely to be hit by an asteroid than struck by lightening.
Just another piece of pointless trivia from the fail that is my life.
and did you know michael jackson beatboxes all his songs to write them. how’s that for off topic?
I like pickles.
slipknot is a little more than slightly under metallica
IT’S A FAKE!!! CHECK OUT THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE PAPER, THAT IS DEFINITELY PHOTOSHOP!
BTW I WAS THE first TO FIND OUT THAT IT’S A FAKE, AND YOU STILL HAVE TO SUPPORT peta!
*gets the wire coat hanger*
are going to perform a back alley abortion on tom?
A public vasectomy perhaps? – sans anaesthetic of course.
I have the rusty grape-fruit spork ready!
no no, that’s the rusted pipe he can bite on (lead painted too, of course).
Coated in asbestos to make it softer?
Who needs instruments? Let’s just twist it until it falls off.
*sings*
let’s twist again
like we did last summer
let’s twist again
like we did last year.
I don’t think you get to twist it off more than once. Sowwy.
*cringes*
Wow, remind me never to claim a fail is photoshopped. You guys are brutal!
Oh no honey. It’s Tom. His mother should have had an abortion and I am hoping a late term abortion will still work. I sent her a case of condoms so she won’t bring more Tom’s into this world.
I didn’t realize abortions applied to the 416th trimester.
Whew, you had me worried for a moment there. I concur, then.
she can enjoy picnics still at least, since ry got her the essential supplies
Tom’s mom climbed down from the mountain to buy her
yearly condom at the town store and complained
when the shopkeeper charged her $2.25, “It said two
dollars on the box, whats the 25 cents for?”.
.
“For the tax.”
.
“you mean they don’t stay on by themselves?”
just as a note to the first comment…this sadly is not a fake.
this is my home town and I definitely remember when this fail occurred.
*secretly passes a “you” to iliketurtles*
youliketurtles?
you don’t?
I mean…who doesn’t?
I find them cold and unyielding. I just can’t seem to get through that tough shell and get to the real turtle inside. I prefer amoebas.
psh. amoebas got nothin on turtles. nothin!
…unless you use them as jelly on toast. they spread so nicely.
Do you like box turtles?
have you ever boxed a turtle?
No.. He was too chicken.
Are you implying Mookie is an amoeba?
I thought I was a cougar. *checks avatar* Huh.
mookie spreads so nicely?
oooh…. i get it!
turtles are freakin awsome you streaker! thats right i read the comments;)
how can you not like turtles you streaker
no iliketurtles!!
Is that like when I was little and argued with my dad every time we went to see my grandmother? “Dats not yourami Daddy, it’s miami!”
*kneeslap*
*hoe down*
*gets a paramedica and a pimp*
lol!
*laughing* 4 Stars.
i’ll just take that a and put it in my pocket for later.
i thank ye kindly. those little buggers are always running off on me.
Ahh don’t worry chap – that’s what we’re here for, ey?
You only support PETA to stop people porking your mum. Ethical Treatment of Animals indeed
I am sad to say this is in the state I just recently started calling home
They lie. First I thought it was a base full of military men and now their math is all askew? I wanna go back to Florida where Jeb Bush made the school system so much better *coughchokecough* I can’t even type that without choking on my own bile.
You could always go bat for the other team.
I hate football.
You mean soccer?
Hey! I did just fine in a Florida Highschool! Best 5 years of my life!
I think I would like Florida, I bet it’s exactly like Miami Vice!
I think Miami is more like Chicago… but warmer!
But the pizza isn’t nearly as good.
The mexican food is better though
Or maybe I mean Cuban…
There’s a lot Mexican food here in Arkansas. And I was happy to find a churrascaria here, something way unexpected.
Yo quiero Carne Asada y guacamole. Pero, no tiener comida buena de mexico en Neuvo Jersey.
Ohh there’s a great hole in the wall in Rahway but I think it would be a haul for you. It’s called Beana’s.
Y NJ huele malo, si yo me recuerdo.
(Egg’s gonna kick my butt if I got that wrong.)
Ohh thanks for that reminder. Speaking of bad smelling, I have to get him some NYC information I promised.
I think it’s fake. The two in 25 looks different than the rest of the numbers.
No, it actually looks exactly like the 2 in 1992…
It should say
2007
1992
____
1005
Because you can’t substract a 9 from a 0 wihch is NOTHING !!!
That’s how Mrs. Herte’ at Fort Smith High said! “If you ain’t got nothing how can you take it?”
*Carries some ones for Finity*
Dude these are really heavy. You gotta learn to carry your own ones.
Actually I think in that case, it would be 1(-9)(-9)5..
But ah nevar did too gud at maths mahself..
Sometimes, nothing is a cool hand to have.
So the 2 “looks at little different”. I’m sure it’s just a phase. Get off his back!
Those illegal numbers are taking the place of good, honest, hard-working numbers!
I lol’d .. thanks for that.
If I was smart, I would of used Irrational and Rational
Regardless, it’s all the same minuend.
*OOOOF!!!*
*dragon flies one way as her socks go in the opposite direction*
Hey…someone want to give me a (subtra)hend here?
*carries the one sock he located to Dragon*
*helps Dragon to her feet*
If we can’t find the other one, you can borrow one of mine.
I think I’ll have to. I’m running seriously low on peal socks.
I’d ask you to stop knocking them off so often, but…what would be the fun in that?
I’ll hang some by the chimney with care.
Here, use these paper clips to hang them.
just wait til the lil’ guy is 4 and starts questioning his sexuality.
A 6 shall not lay with another 6 as it does with a 3!
Unfair, the 9s always get the shit end of the deal.
Go easy – some people like the shit end.
Especially if you go easy.
Or if your a vicar and there are curtains to be hung.
Adds “anal” to EB’s list of perversions… Hmmm…
Sadly (as I am from Arkansas) I think it’s real. There are a few others up in the right corner -which made me question why there were three of this magazine, but the one to the left says “do not remove from visitor’s center.”
So, I guess my question is, has it only been 15 years, or did they actually start in 1982?
I’m probably thinking way too much about this, right?
*going to get life.*
Entertainment: Fort Smith magazine was founded in 2000, I’ll see if I can find that story…
put it on your list and you might find a shiny new one in your stocking
Sad Arky, you didn’t just celebrate the birth of your 18th child did you? I was wondering what they do for fun in Arkansas, now I know. They have lots of sex and lots of children, at least one couple does.
Fort Smith is my hometown. I remember this sad occurrence..
Actually I would say it’s real as it was commented about in May of 2007. Look here, http://www.shaynemckinney.com/node/520.
(Sorry Double Post)
i wish this was fake. i was living in fort smith when this came out. it was a HUGE deal.
This is no fake, my brother has a copy in his apartment.
FIRST!
What?
WIN
Failblog partners in image manipulation.
AGREED
The second, more insidious fail here is the use of Comic Sans.
I was born in 1992 so I was 25 last year, but I turned 16 this year. Great education system Partners in FAIL. lol
Minors?
TAKE COVER!
*ducks and runs off*
*covers Catman’s eyes*
You have to be this tall to ride this ride.
i’m sure you say that to all the guys
Just the young ones.
*grin*
Did someone mention young guys?
SEE!!??!
hah! what’s your definition of young?
More than 5 years younger than I am is too young for me to date. I have learned this the hard way. Any more than a 5 year difference and we cease to have much in common.
I perfer the formula (Your age/2) + 8 for the low end, and the sky’s the limit for the high end.
.
.
Maturity-wise, however is a bit more tricky. The old adage, “with age come wisdom” is a lie. I have 55 year-olds that end up having to crash at my house because they can’t figure out that electricity and water need to be paid every month. And still can’t clean up after themselves after missing the toilet. Grrrr…
Ok, off that… but conversely, the young can still be pretty wise and profound. Look at some of our commentors.
.
*Hops off soapbox*
wow. i’ve never been called wise and profound before!
*Glares knowingly at turtles*
*smiles at ‘stopher and waves*
I try to date guys who were born in the same decade I was. It’s easier than doing the math.
Hehe, so long as they’re more than half, I suppose.
was that decade the 80′s? cause i’m so there!
I was born in the 70′s, right smack in the middle of ‘em. I feel old some days. Some days are better than others.
sounds like you need a vacation. come up nort here to da big woods and we’s show you a gooden time!
I try to make sure they are least halfway between my son’s age and my age.
*is headed out to Colorado in 5 days*
*will be visiting family*
*will need vacation after that*
My family is… trying. My nerves that is.
heh, tis the season to despise your relatives!
How old is young? I don’t know if I am young anymore
I used to be young… but time has passed
you can always be young if you want!
Specially if you live through your children!
hell, i thought it was kids that made you feel old and gray, not the other way around.
I mostly feel like I’m a kid playing at grown ups.
I play with grown ups
Define “date”…
More like “More car than you can handle”.
Im tall enough:)
i don’t see a fail…
oh wait nevermind. OMG I FAILED AT MATH!
Those were a quick “25″ years. Felt like 15.
Felt like 15?
“But she SAID she was 25!”

comment on typo
Fake…?!
I think so, yes.
Arkansas math is special.
Wow, thanks to this magazine, I’m now almost 33!
why does this looked photoshopped? maybe the mag just looks bad, huh
I’m from Fort Smith and I can assure you that it is real. What’s embarrassing is that they refused to pull them even after they realized the mistake so for a solid month these were still out there at libraries, hotels, visitor centers, etc.
I’ve been to Fort Smith, and I can attest that it is the sorriest hellhole I have ever been misfortunate enough to patronize. The hotel was unspeakable, every second lot was a grimy used car dealership, presumably so that the residents can flee across the border into Oklahoma. I have no trouble believing that this would come from there….and I’m not surprised it took ‘em a while to notice.
If you think visiting is bad, try living here.
I was actually in Fort Smith a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was a nice town. Lots of parks, lots of stores, a nice little mall, easy access to lots of stuff right off of the interstate. I guess you have to actually be from small-town to appreciate a place like that.
Maybe they printed it like that to test everyone… see how good their math skills are. lol
Why does everything have to be a test these days?
hahaha…
funny book
Picture looks photoshopped, faked.
Recognizing real fails to post on site, FAIL.
Reading the replies from real people that saw this magazine FAIL.
Such great representation of Arkansas this is…
They got that math completely wrong in that magazine
nooooossa véééi que péssimo !!!
Homeschooling is the best way to avoid situations such as this…
…and make your kids socially awkward for the rest of their lives.
I just happen to know one of the editors of this particular magazine, and this is his response:
“Yeah….this mistake will never go away. This is what happens when you do the cover of the magazine at about 4:59 am after 20 hours at work.”
I live in Fort Smith….I have that magazine from last year.
Wierrrdddd
time flies
LOL, and I went to school in Fort Smith. Not only did the cover fail horribly, there was an article, or a couple mind you, that were horribly done.
Yah, it’s real. I’ve seen it in person. FT. SMITH FAIL!
Can no one else see that it’s an obvious photoshop?
402 comments – this one = FIRST!
this pic should be on photoshop disasters…
who ever made this phony needs better skillz…
this is photoshoped.
And they need 50 more years to learn subtraction!
As a citizen of Fort Smith and an alum of its public schools, I can laugh along with the rest of you.
I lived in Fort Smith, Arkansas for three years (Feb 2005 – Apr 2008), including when this was published. The powers-that-be aka The Good Ol’ Boy Network runs the city. They are stupid, immensely powerful, morally bankrupt, incompetent and extremely paranoid and unwelcoming of outsiders. Hell, the Vietnamese have been there for over thirty years and they are still not accepted in the business community, unless they open a manicure parlor or restaurant (best restaurant in Fort Smith is a hole-in-the wall Pho place. Awesome food! One of those places you have to eat at before you die!). That city will only grow because of either the native hoity-doities multiply or more minorities breed, thus the poorer neighborhoods expand.
This magazine cover of entertainment Fort Smith is a true representation of the populace.
This is what ends up happening all over the country with that “no child left behind” method for making our entire country retarded. No longer can we keep all the “special” people in pockets of the country like Arkansas. It is a sad day for American superiority.
First. Bigtime. kthx.
I live in Fort Smith and know the editors personally… Whoever said they did earlier is a liar. He? They’re both women. It’s a horrible typo, it was supposed to be 1982.
XD It’s pretty hilarious though. Public schools = fail.
Oh, and the reason it looks photoshopped is because they use photoshop.
The title is an irony, dont you get it?
You must be From the Fort Smith River Valley area!
Okay, this one makes me cringe.
I happen to LIVE in Fort Smith… AND I remember this magazine when it came out.
It’s fail because they used Comic Sans.
photoshoped the number 2
This is photoshoped.
So this FAIL is a FAIL.
Yet another Arkansas fail.
Oh my god… this is my city’s magazine. v.v Don’t I feel proud? I can explain: Fort Smith is in Arkansas. xD
And I was thinking of working for them…. *sigh*
LOL I live in Fort Smith. This is really sad! Shows how well my education is here in Arkansas huh lol!
Wow… This is sad! I actually LIVE in Fort Smith, AR!!!
I guess what everybody says about our education system is actually true! LOL
So do I!! Isn’t it pathetic? xD But no I think they said it was just a typo, but you’d think someone would catch something like that!
well yea! especially before printing and mailing!!! LOL
I think it’s time to consider a new career!
You can just pick this magazine up for free in various stores and places around town. They make the money to print the magazine by selling ads.
I was born in 1991, so that makes me 27 years old.
hum, that means one thing only…
I’m heading to Vegas baby!
I think whats really sad is that i live in the town the magazine is from. Way to go Ft. Smith!! lol……-hangs head in shame-
Oh shit. I live in Fort Smith….Arkansas sucks.
fort smith is an unusually horrible.
damn
