Oh FFS! Stop overthinking this people.
1. It is in Florida hence the FL
2. The state of Florida has historically shown it’s propensity for doing the dumbest things on the planet. They did choose Jeb Bush over Janet Reno just because Janet Reno was part of the whole “send Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba” episode. And if I am not mistaken, they were a big part of why we have endured the last 8 years in the US.
3. Move on FFS!

Hiccup, thank you
Personally, I like to blame Florida’s problem on its absurdly high elderly population, which seems to want to see the world burn as they are not long for it too much longer.
It looks like I went to bed just a tad too early… and ended up in Ryannomite’s dreams! Joy for another day, to have frolicked in Godiva all night, though now I know why I woke up feeling 20 pounds heavier.

Chris, I feel your pain, I lived there for 4 years (SW coast). It’s a horrible mix of stuff- migrants, cotton-heads, cuban patriots, rednecks, cotton-heads, and… oh, yeah, more cotton-heads… None of whom agree with one another on ANYTHING!
Try being born there and living there for the bulk of your life. We should have never let you pale faces into the state. At least we used canoes to get around.
It’s some kind of geek-speak for “LEET” or elite. The 1 is L, the 3’s are E’s and the 7, kind of a stretch, is a T.
This is, perhaps, one of the best ways in existence to identify yourself as a winner and as a loser at the same time.
in leet, it i flo2ierz, so it isnt anything… it is something on the side of a boat, like a license plate, bor a boat, so tht is registered as a boat, or tht is what is trying to be implied
1337means leet which stands for elite speak elite gamers used to talk like this to confuse new gamers and to create plans in public now it’s widly known like 036 3173 h0×09 for OMG elite hackers
for some reason when i posted this comment originally it never showed up, the series of letters and numbers on the side of a boat is its registration, thats the humor in this that the table is actually a registered watercraft
FLO probably stands for florida, the rest of the series is like an ID for the boat
Yeah it means FLOATERS, just apply the same principle as geek language
check it:
FL0 > flo (duh)
213RZ > ters ( 2 makes the ‘T’ sound; 1 is an ‘i’; 3RZ makes ‘ers’)
Put it together and you get…..
Floaters
Hope it helps
The number is the boat registration number. It’s like a license plate for a boat. It means that this wasn’t a one-use boat. It’s registered with some state as a legit water craft.
The FL indicates “some state” is Florida. And if you can prove it is sea worthy, it can be registered. It’s dual purpose. You can sail to a picnic, turn it over and then sit at it to eat. What you don’t see is not far behind him are 2 people sailing 4 chairs tied together.
I’d write this genius SO many tickets! Improper spacing on the numbering, no fire extinguisher, no flares, no type IV flotation device, no stern light, no common sense, no clue as to what the F*CK he’s doing…
.
This is the second most ingenious watercraft I’ve “evar” seen, though.
It was in college. This really tall guy tied balloons to his willy, put a propeller on the end of it and offered to let girls ride his dingy across the deep end of the gene pool.
Did you count how many people discussed the difference between “shatter” and “break” on the ornament fail? THAT would be a fairly large number, I think.
It’s the State of Florida boat registration number! The moron actually had the thing registered as a boat! And the State of Florida recognized it. Hysterical.
So, it’s a table that’s upsidedown and that he’s using for a boat. FL0213RZ is like a license plate for a boat. Someone at the DMV legally made that table a boat. HAHA!!!
That is the boat’s registration number, which means he actually went and registered a table with his local watercraft authority. Also, if you notice he also has the red and green “port” and “starboard” markers on the tops (or bottoms I guess) of the legs. This guy apparently went to great lengths to make his table “legal” for the water.
If you have ever been around any boats, you’d see a registration number on them to make it legal for them to be in water, plus that means they must have taxes paid on them, etc. It’s similar to a license plate for a car.
It’s a marine license number. It seems some poeple thinks it’s supposed to be some funny onomatopoeia…but it’s just funny that he managed to get a marine license for a floating table.
I’m not positive, but I think the lettering means that the “boat” is actually registered as a boat. So the guy actually registered it for use and it wasn’t something he just put together for a one time occation.
those letters and numbers show that it is an officially licensed watercraft. they must have insurance on it and have it registered just like a car… or… just like any other table-boat… … …
it doesnt’ matter what it means…. the point is that he has made a table a boat …. and flo213rz it’s the name of the boat…. maybe it means floaters in his own retarded way…. but who knows!!
Toothpaste cap? You were lucky to have a toothpaste cap. When I was a kid all we had was a single grain of sand with all twenty of us on it. Plus we had to go out at night and clean the lake, and when we got home our Dad and Mum would throw us overboard and dance around singing.
They went to sea in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they went to sea:
In spite of all their friends could say,
On a winter’s morn, on a stormy day,
In a Sieve they went to sea!
And when the Sieve turned round and round,
And everyone cried, “You’ll all be drowned!”
They cried aloud, “Our Sieve ain’t big,
But we don’t care a button, we don’t care a fig!
In a Sieve we’ll go to sea!”
(Edward Lear )
It’s probably your typical styrofoam based plywood solution painted white. The walls were build up around that and then the posts were added to support the mandatory colored bow and stern lighting. The numbers represent a FL registration. The ironic thing here is that it looks like a registered upside down table! However, a table would definitely sink.
That’s not hard to do these days…

Typing of Darwin, there is a new show coming in February from the same people that did Deadliest Catch. It is the 1000 dumbest deaths and it is pretty much the Darwin Awards re-enacted and put to music possibly.
these comments made my day, i felt as lost as a fish out of water this morning. last night made me a bit wishy-washy, but a few laughs sent that feeling sailing!
Well, it’s because — Wait, wait. I won’t explain, because if what I think you know is what I know, then I’d be redundant in explaining something that everyone already knew, and I’d be put into that Sarcasm 101 class with Bond Fan. I won’t risk that.
*Winks at Dragon* Phew! Saved myself there, didn’t I?
I didn’t get it either, I had to do a google search to figure this out, so here’s a really unfunny straight-up explanation of this fail:
The guy’s using a large table as a boat–LOL–this part you can see is funny without knowing anything else.
The letter/number combination (circled in blue) shows that this “boat” has been registered in the state of Florida, which means some official guy looked at it, deemed the vessel safe for the water, and gave the boat a registration and license number and everything–LOL
That is why the FLOetc letter/number combination painted on the side of the boat is circled. The letter/number combination doesn’t spell out a clever word or phrase; the circle is just to point out the fact that, according to at least 2 people in Florida, it’s a boat.
It’s made of adamantium, and bounces signals off of satellites, which are large metal things that live in the sky and have lasers that will kill us all someday.
Those numbers actually pass muster. They could be a real Florida registration. Crafts that size have fewer requirements than you might think. At least from what I see, that’s perfectly legal. He has the right red / green lights, the right flotation device, and the right size motor. He needs to have a white light, too, but I assume that’s in the pile of stuff behind him or in the basket.
The only concern I have is that he’s missing a registration sticker. It would usually be 2 inches to the right of the registration numbers. Maybe it’s on the other side or was mistakenly placed on the rear.
1. The registration sticker would be on the port (other) side, 2″ forward of the numbering.
2. The numbering would get him a ticket- they are not properly spaced. It should be FL 0213 RZ, at least 3″ in height.
3. Depending on the size of the motor/speed of the table, his white light may be a hand-held device.
4. Since the fuel tank is installed (there is no visible gas tank on deck), he needs a mounted fire extinguisher. Maybe the Target employees sold it, and he’s running away?
in order to have those numbers on the boat, i’m pretty sure you need to get the “boat” registered – so, apparently, someone was willing to agree with him that this was a proper boat.
Also, gotta love that he even put the green and red lights on it
The owner must supply the registration letters & numbers, using the combination assigned by the state DMV, but there is usually also a registration sticker supplied by the DMV. I don’t see that sticker here, so theses might be made-up numbers.
Am I gonna get tazed if I sing this song? Cuz I’m just bustin’ to sing this song. I’m positively breaking out in hives, not singing this song. *hears the scary music playing evar so softly…*
I want to validate your laudable cynicism and tell you you’re going to hell if you don’t accept jesus as your personal trainer or some such, but alas, i cannot
It STILL doesn’t make sense to me. FL0213RZ = Floaters? The best it could be is “floatiers”, by going with the 2 as a t sound. What the hell is the 1? Is this supposed to be funny 1337 or not? Why is it pointed out? Bah.
in virginia, at least, this is the law. anything that goes in a body of water that has a motor must be licensed and clearly display the license number. the commonwealth needs those tax dollars!
man…that is the exact picture that started this whole idea…made some modifications and soon youll see a 70 yr old man water skii behind it, just have to work out a few bugs!!!
That “boat” is in a canal in Florida. Now he can go make tons of money bringing 43 Cubans at a time over to the US. The Coast Guard will never suspect a table.
I hate people who cry photoshop as much as the next person…but it has to be xD there’s no way it would float so daintily like that. But it’s still full of epic and win
It’s not photoshopped. I hate people that give the “real story” as much as the next commenter but this kind of thing is seen in Florida all the time. if it could float, it could be in the bathtub regatta when I was younger.
I see water, earth, a table, a weird guy, a cap, a t-shirt, some short shorts, bad sunglasses, a picnic basket full of severed donkey heads, a rope, an usual boat motor, lots of plants, a white building, a random letters and numbers combination, floating text, a photoshopped cyan ellipse and a failblog watermark.
Oh please! MacGyver would have made something way cooler.
He’s just an E.F. Benson fanboy doing a publicity stunt. (Surely everyone knows about LUCIACON?)
Methinks yer a scallawag fer attemptin te parlay without the Bos’n’s say-so… but ye be fergiven yer discretions, as we be havin’ no plank fer ye te walk. That, and we we like you ’bout these parts.
Obviously it’s photoshopped. The sun is shining on the dudes back, that is why his face is in shadow. If you look at the table legs, the shadows are on the left which doesn’t make sense if the sun was shining from that direction. DUH.
No. The sun’s from directly above (look at the cast shadow) That’s why the man’s skin has the same shadows as the table, and the man’s face is in shadow (the shadow of his head)
Um, would be correct if the sun wasn’t near directly overhead. The shadow on the picnic basket is from the handle of the basket. His face has light on it, although it only illuminates the more protuberant areas, with the cant of his head that would make sense if the sun was only slightly off being directly overhead. But sure, duh all you want I guess.
dude, look at the picnic basket! the shadow is directly over it, meaning that the sun had to have been high in the sky- probably in midday. If the sun was directly above him, it wouldn’t get in his face. DUH.
The ladies? You men could learn from this picture. You finally see what the little man in the boat looks like. Now go forth and find the closest one to you and make a woman happy for New Years.
OK, maybe enough time has elapsed to allow a spoiler. Do a google image search on “tableboat.jpg” and you’ll see copies of a photo that originated from a publicity stunt that Mercury Outboards did in the early-mid 1960s. Right now I can’t find the original source, though I seem to recall the caption said something like “Mercury outboards can put anything on plane, even the kitchen table.”
The grey outboard in this failblog photo is likely the Mariner brand, manufactured by Mercury Marine. The outboard is chained to the transom–safety first! The fuel line extends from the outboard forward along the starboard side of the “boat”, but the fuel tank is not visible very likely because it is inside the picnic basket.
Man, these actors are so touchy. Well, there goes my career as a director. *sigh* *sits on bale of hay* Hmmm… Where’s Ryannon, I bet these jodhpurs would fit her…
Battery cables don’t have primer bulbs. Fuel hoses do.
Yes, the lifejacket, lights and motor chain are good safety measures. I’m sure they’ll completely make up for the fact than any ripple or wave over a few inches will probably cause the bow to “dig in.”

*whispers* It’s all a clever trick to make us feel stupid. It has no meaning beyond identifying the “boat” for registration purposes. It resembles 1337 but it ain’t.
“The prefix and suffix must be separated from the numerals by a space equal to the width of the digits, i.e., FL 0001 AB.”
“A decal signifying the year during which the registration certificate is valid will be issued with each registration certificate. The decal must be displayed on the port (left) side of the vessel.”
improper letter number spacing + No valid decal = boat not really registered
= made-up registration number
= probably is attempted 1337
Me noticing from my own quoting of the FL DMV rules that the sticker would not be present on the starboard side of a boat registered in FL: FAIL.
Krazee floridians; every other state I’ve boated in had registrations stickers for both sides of the boat.
This is more of a Coffee Table Win. But he should have added a nose to the front so it can cut through the water, it must buck up a lot. It is a total buck up.
its not photo shopped. my cousin (the one in the pic) has a ton more photos that ive seen. yes, its really registered as a boat in the state of florida and it is a dining room table. In retrospect, i could’ve come up with a better caption, but i didn’t expect it to make it anywhere honestly.
Some of you are referring to it as if it’s a possible registration number. IT’S A TABLE, UPSIDE-DOWN, WITH A MOTOR. Obviously the reg number was painted on there as a joke.
He may look silly, but this is win. He turned a table and an outboard motor into a successful boat. Not a good boat, but it seems to be doing the job. Perhaps if it were a video of it capsizing or something, then it could qualify as fail.
For the love of God, will someone PLEASE explain the following:
1) What is a 1337?
2) Why do you think the registration number spells “Floaters?” Becaus, at best, it looks like “Floatiers,” and therefore makes no sense as a fail, a win, or any other thing.
1. Please click “Show All Comments”.
2. Stare at the humongously long nest of comments near the top that detail the answers to those questions.
3. Thank you.
Yes. I see the table. Thank you. But why are the numbers circled? Is it because the OP thinks it hilariously funny that a table would have registration numbers painted on? If so, humor fail.
And I still don’t know what a 1337 is. Chalk it up to advanced age.
what kind of a great thiniking man would sit at a dinner table thinking, ‘hmmm, i wonder if i could turn this into a boat.’ what a genius. no failure here, just pure genius.
That isn’t shopped. It’s real and is really registered. I’ve seen him in it on the canal that runs next to southern blvd. in west palm beach. He also has a unicycle bolted to a blank of wood that he rides like a water ski.
that looks like fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol
Yes, it is a Florida license plate.
However, it also is 1337 for FLOATERS. Why?
FLO = FLO
2 = @ (Shift-2)
1 = t (1337 is LEEt turned 180)
3 = E
R = R
Z = S
FLO213RZ = FLOATERS
The significance of the letters/numbers, which no one has been able to correctly figure out, is this: those letters/numbers mean this “boat” is registered. It is funny because that means that this “boat” was actually held to some sort of seagoing standards and passed, thus having a registration number.
Hello!
Hey, it floats…
At least it fl0213rz.
moo!!
BAWK
Could you educate me? What is the significance of FL0213RZ?
I’d like to know 1337
it’s a table
Actually that’s the BOATS #.
1337 means ‘leet’ short in gamer slang for ‘elite’ meaning the top of something.
FL0213RZ – No Idea Either. I kinda get ‘float’ from ‘FL02′ But besides that, nothing.
Oh FFS! Stop overthinking this people.
1. It is in Florida hence the FL
2. The state of Florida has historically shown it’s propensity for doing the dumbest things on the planet.

so did you
Fl0213rz= floaters/FLOTOARZ!
It’s some kind of geek-speak for “LEET” or elite. The 1 is L, the 3’s are E’s and the 7, kind of a stretch, is a T.
This is, perhaps, one of the best ways in existence to identify yourself as a winner and as a loser at the same time.
you r stupid
1337=LEEt turned 180 degrees
7=L, 1=t
I was guessing FLOTIERZ
so it’s a floating tier?
at least he’s wearing a life jacket, huh?
What’s surprising is that those look like legitimate boating tags.
in leet, it i flo2ierz, so it isnt anything… it is something on the side of a boat, like a license plate, bor a boat, so tht is registered as a boat, or tht is what is trying to be implied
… I think the joke is simply that the table apparently has Florida boat registration…
It geekspeak, meaning “LEET” or elite. L is 1, the 3’s are E’s and the 7, being kind of a stretch, is a T.
It is, by far, the best way known to man to identify yourself both as a winner and as a loser at the same time.
1337means leet which stands for elite speak elite gamers used to talk like this to confuse new gamers and to create plans in public now it’s widly known like 036 3173 h0×09 for OMG elite hackers
1337 is hax talk (an internet language that substitutes symbols and numbers for letters). 1337 sort of looks like leet. LEET = awesome/cool
its LEET, from the word “elite”
meow
for some reason when i posted this comment originally it never showed up, the series of letters and numbers on the side of a boat is its registration, thats the humor in this that the table is actually a registered watercraft
FLO probably stands for florida, the rest of the series is like an ID for the boat
it’s not the numbers that matter. it’s the fact that it has a registration number
1337 = leet
1337 = leet but idk about the other one
its leet (short for elite) upside down
1337 = leet
as in elite
it means floaters
Doesn’t it actually mean floalers? 1 is an L, hence 1337= leet. It should be a 7 instead.
it kind of looks like flozlers to me. I’ve always seen ‘4′ in place of ‘A’, not ‘2′.
Florlers.
Yeah it means FLOATERS, just apply the same principle as geek language
check it:
FL0 > flo (duh)
213RZ > ters ( 2 makes the ‘T’ sound; 1 is an ‘i’; 3RZ makes ‘ers’)
Put it together and you get…..
Floaters
Hope it helps
agreed.
but idek wtf that 2’s doin there….isnt 4=A? :S
but i might not be up to speed on my 13375p33k xD
Leet is 1337 flipped upside-down. Thus making the “1″ a “t”.
Boat registration number. It is like a license plate.
i think the minded hidden sense
Don’t think that it has a meaning, but isn’t it ridicolous enough that a reversed desk gets a license number? ^^
It’s the Florida boat registration for this … watercraft.
it means its actually registered as a boat.
cause the table hes in is upside down, yet some how the writing is still right side up…
…because it’s a registered boat.
The number is the boat registration number. It’s like a license plate for a boat. It means that this wasn’t a one-use boat. It’s registered with some state as a legit water craft.
The FL indicates “some state” is Florida. And if you can prove it is sea worthy, it can be registered. It’s dual purpose. You can sail to a picnic, turn it over and then sit at it to eat. What you don’t see is not far behind him are 2 people sailing 4 chairs tied together.
I’d write this genius SO many tickets! Improper spacing on the numbering, no fire extinguisher, no flares, no type IV flotation device, no stern light, no common sense, no clue as to what the F*CK he’s doing…
.
This is the second most ingenious watercraft I’ve “evar” seen, though.
Really? He needs a stern light? My lights were always pretty laid-back.
What’s the most ingenious watercraft you evar saw, Lunchie?
It was in college. This really tall guy tied balloons to his willy, put a propeller on the end of it and offered to let girls ride his dingy across the deep end of the gene pool.
Was it Willy Wanka?
Or Wank Williams?
THAT was funny, Ryannon.
it’s the boat’s “license” number
The significance of the code on the sign is indicating that it is a licensed water vehicle under the state.
i’m guessing that means two things
1. he paid actual money to “make it legal”
2. it’s registered in FLorida. surprised?
Actually, I’m guessing you, o hi o, and don haven’t read the other posts.
its like boats liscense plate, its funny because he payed to get it registered
Wouldn’t that be … Floor and Office 0213 Room Section Z? The office he took the TABLE FROM?
Or a Florida license for boating?
its his boat registration number guys florida 13rz!!!!!!!ONE
its his boat registration number guys florida 13rz!!!!111ONE
I don’t think it means anything. Its just a license plate which means he actually registered the “boat.”
its a table…
that has a boat licence number…
Unfortunately, I know the significance, and it isn’t leet-speak.
That is a State of Florida watercraft registration number. A boat license plate number, in effect.
FL0214RZ is a boat registration number. Most states require any “boats” have one. In Missouri you even have to have it on canoes.
I counted. 12 comments (TWELVE!) telling Sprout that it’s the boat license number.
*facepalm*
Did you count how many people discussed the difference between “shatter” and “break” on the ornament fail? THAT would be a fairly large number, I think.
Oh, dang, two more have posted the same thing since I counted.
Wait, it’s the boat’s license number?!
Let’s try this….

It’s simply the vessel registration number. That means it’s legal to be on the water !!!
It’s a boat registration number. It means the state of Florida actually recognizes that thing as a watercraft.
its the registration numbers, like the license plate on a car
meaning that table is a registered marine vehicle
thats the funny part
thank you! i don’t get it either
It’s a Florida license, required for every table, er, boat in FL. I don’t know how he got it!
I don’t know either…some explain please?
it is the registration number when u register ur boat. like ur boats license plate.
pretty much this guy failed cuz he registered his table as a boat.
the fact that it is a registered boat and it is legally a boat. even tho it is a bed.
it means its registered as a real boat
floziers?
“floaters” or “floatzors” maybe?
99% sure that means that it’s a legally registered water craft.
FL0213RZ-flotierz, that means it floats
it means the state was fail enough to give that boat a license. “FL” either stands for florida or FAIL.
It means the boat’s been registered by the state…
That’s a registration number. That means that he has that boat approved for sailing in his state.
It’s a boat registration number.
It means it is a legally registered boat…
It means it is a legally registered boat…
It’s the State of Florida boat registration number! The moron actually had the thing registered as a boat! And the State of Florida recognized it. Hysterical.
Seriously? Okay. That means it’s actually registered as a BOAT. That is why the FL0213RZ is significant.
So, it’s a table that’s upsidedown and that he’s using for a boat. FL0213RZ is like a license plate for a boat. Someone at the DMV legally made that table a boat. HAHA!!!
That is the boat’s registration number, which means he actually went and registered a table with his local watercraft authority. Also, if you notice he also has the red and green “port” and “starboard” markers on the tops (or bottoms I guess) of the legs. This guy apparently went to great lengths to make his table “legal” for the water.
That means that the table is actually a registered boat in florida….. Or he just wrote that on there to look official :]
its the registration…yes its the only dinning room table leagally registered as a boat in fl.
pretty sure it means ‘floaters’, as in ‘flo@13rz’ but I’m not positive
If you have ever been around any boats, you’d see a registration number on them to make it legal for them to be in water, plus that means they must have taxes paid on them, etc. It’s similar to a license plate for a car.
It’s a marine license number. It seems some poeple thinks it’s supposed to be some funny onomatopoeia…but it’s just funny that he managed to get a marine license for a floating table.
I’m not positive, but I think the lettering means that the “boat” is actually registered as a boat. So the guy actually registered it for use and it wasn’t something he just put together for a one time occation.
That means that it actually registered as a boat. You have to register a water craft lol.
It just means it’s a registered boat in Florida.
It is a boat registration number. It shown the man registered it.
Its a florida registration number, it means they took the time to register this floating table!
The FL0213RZ means that its a registered water craft…he took the time to register a table…wonder what make and model he used?
Okay, enough already! We know that it’s the registration number!
It means he actually has it registered as a boat..and its a table haha
I think it means he had his “boat” registered, officially. which is funny…. I guess.
Just means that the “boat” is legally registered and licensed with the state of Florida. Which is hilarious.
because he has an upside-down table registered as a real boat.
its the boat # basically meaning, its a Legal boat
The sailor’s table-boat was granted a registration number. It’s a government fail.
those letters and numbers show that it is an officially licensed watercraft. they must have insurance on it and have it registered just like a car… or… just like any other table-boat… … …
Boat registration number – just like a license plate on a car.
its a boats license plate.
its the reg number but it is also 1337 for floaters….
Yea… Really! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
Boats have license numbers like cars.
he had the boat registered so its a legal vessel
He registered his boat with the state of Florida.
It’s a Florida boat registration. They’re pointing out that this guy was able to register A TABLE as a boat!
it doesnt’ matter what it means…. the point is that he has made a table a boat …. and flo213rz it’s the name of the boat…. maybe it means floaters in his own retarded way…. but who knows!!
It means he got custody of her family’s dining room table after the divorce.
Haha! That means he actually had his table/boat registered!
The Alpha-numerical digits on the side are the registration numbers.
Floatierz is the meaning best i can figure
the significance is that that that boat was registered. not the name FL0213RZ but the fact that someone actually registered that piece of Sh*t
WHAT’S FL0213RZ?
His friends were keeling over with laughter.
He rigged that table just right.
That looked better then the bookcase I used to sail in.
BOOKCASE!? why, when i was youngin we used a kleenex box! and we were happy!
Kleenex box? Luxury. We used a Dixie cup. If we were lucky!
We used to DREAM of Dixie cups! We had a toothpaste cap and a star to steer it by! Unless it was cloudy! Which it was!!
When I said Dixie Cup I meant an old piece of rolled up paper with great big hole in the bottom. But it was a Dixie cup to us.
And here I thought you meant a Southern athletic supporter.
we didn’t even Have WATER, had to make our own by squeezing rocks!
Toothpaste cap? You were lucky to have a toothpaste cap. When I was a kid all we had was a single grain of sand with all twenty of us on it. Plus we had to go out at night and clean the lake, and when we got home our Dad and Mum would throw us overboard and dance around singing.
I love you.. that was brilliant
He’s the mast-er of the seas. Or the swamp. Whatever.

on the other hand…who knows what happened after that pic was taken?
The weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship was tossed…
They went to sea in a Sieve, they did,
In a Sieve they went to sea:
In spite of all their friends could say,
On a winter’s morn, on a stormy day,
In a Sieve they went to sea!
And when the Sieve turned round and round,
And everyone cried, “You’ll all be drowned!”
They cried aloud, “Our Sieve ain’t big,
But we don’t care a button, we don’t care a fig!
In a Sieve we’ll go to sea!”
(Edward Lear )
…after that hick was wakin’?
After the tick was shakin’?
He accidenty the boat.
S1nk13rs.
i do
not telling though
I bow to his creative prow-ess
That’s the plane truth.
He must have used a freeboard for that table-boat…
I’ll bet that when he landed he took a bow.
Couldn’t have. It was registered by the State of Florida!
Flo Flo Fl0213rz your table, gently down the… ?
….toilet
ot so much
It’s probably your typical styrofoam based plywood solution painted white. The walls were build up around that and then the posts were added to support the mandatory colored bow and stern lighting. The numbers represent a FL registration. The ironic thing here is that it looks like a registered upside down table! However, a table would definitely sink.
Every1 is saying it is p.s but if u look closly u cn see his red coats reflection

I dont get it.
Yogi Bear was after his picnic basket. So he took the picnic table, flipped it over, and used it to escape over the lake.
Apparently he also had time to attach those rings to the table legs.
And also rigged the motor to work on the boat. And imagine, all while running from a bear!
Wow, what a guy. I take it he also escaped from that thing with the pengWIN and the orcas.
..a bear with condiments *drools*
mmmmmmmhot sauce on fisherman =)
He IS bear. not running from one retard
not so much.
Just wait until the finish comes off and it soaks up as much water as it can…. he also isnt very aero dynamic. go too fast and hes pwned

Aerodynamic? Aero means air, so you might wanna say Hydrodynamic or just streamline insted ^^
FL0213RZ is the official boat registration number thing, or at least a fake version of said
but why does it fail?
Well, it’s because — Wait, wait. I won’t explain, because if what I think you know is what I know, then I’d be redundant in explaining something that everyone already knew, and I’d be put into that Sarcasm 101 class with Bond Fan. I won’t risk that.
*Winks at Dragon* Phew! Saved myself there, didn’t I?
why, thank you.
finally someone gives us ignorant kids an answer.
i was trying to figure out what it meant in l33t. :/
i think the joke might be that FLO2 sounds like “float”? no?
…. fuck it. i give up.
I didn’t get it either, I had to do a google search to figure this out, so here’s a really unfunny straight-up explanation of this fail:
The guy’s using a large table as a boat–LOL–this part you can see is funny without knowing anything else.
The letter/number combination (circled in blue) shows that this “boat” has been registered in the state of Florida, which means some official guy looked at it, deemed the vessel safe for the water, and gave the boat a registration and license number and everything–LOL
That is why the FLOetc letter/number combination painted on the side of the boat is circled. The letter/number combination doesn’t spell out a clever word or phrase; the circle is just to point out the fact that, according to at least 2 people in Florida, it’s a boat.

I see it’s a boat but I fail to see how this fails.
Let’s just table this line of discussion
His picnic basket has no condoms in it, therein lies the fail.
Those numbers actually pass muster. They could be a real Florida registration. Crafts that size have fewer requirements than you might think. At least from what I see, that’s perfectly legal. He has the right red / green lights, the right flotation device, and the right size motor. He needs to have a white light, too, but I assume that’s in the pile of stuff behind him or in the basket.
The only concern I have is that he’s missing a registration sticker. It would usually be 2 inches to the right of the registration numbers. Maybe it’s on the other side or was mistakenly placed on the rear.
That’s where my registration sticker is. *bends over*
Careful, Ryannon, he sounds like he could be with some kind of legal department…he may not take too kindly to your weekly rapes!
As long as I am not trespassing, he can’t prostitute me!
As long as you don’t fail to stop at a railroad crossing…
1. The registration sticker would be on the port (other) side, 2″ forward of the numbering.
2. The numbering would get him a ticket- they are not properly spaced. It should be FL 0213 RZ, at least 3″ in height.
3. Depending on the size of the motor/speed of the table, his white light may be a hand-held device.
4. Since the fuel tank is installed (there is no visible gas tank on deck), he needs a mounted fire extinguisher. Maybe the Target employees sold it, and he’s running away?
in order to have those numbers on the boat, i’m pretty sure you need to get the “boat” registered – so, apparently, someone was willing to agree with him that this was a proper boat.
Also, gotta love that he even put the green and red lights on it
You need those on a registered boat!
The owner must supply the registration letters & numbers, using the combination assigned by the state DMV, but there is usually also a registration sticker supplied by the DMV. I don’t see that sticker here, so theses might be made-up numbers.
Those are interesting theses.
These theses on Theseus tease these…ehm, uh…
…three Thetus thiefs?
Yes !
Thetus ?
Or Thetis…depending on the translation.
Tetris?
Dragonwriter, you’re way too smart for this crowd. XD
Oh, I totally disagree! There are some stunningly brilliant people who post on this blog…I’ve made some wonderful friends here.
Oh I don’t know about “stunningly”.
Well…my Admiral is jaw-droppingly brilliant.
You’re no slouch yourself, my friend.
*tries to sit straighter*
Fecis? wtf are you guys talking about?
Wait till you see my hypo-theses.
the sticker is on the other side!! you only need it on one side of the boat
Maybe he was boating his way across the pond to his secret registration center
Dude, it doesn’t work…
it works keep en ey out soon you will see
well it floats, that can’t be said about the other failboats
It doesn’t look like it’s gonna float for long, though

He Excels with tables. If the motor gives out, he can row to shore.
Or use the picknick blanket to tie onto the legs and use as a mast.
He brought pies and charts on this trip.
And a sheet to spread on the ground.

Well, kinda…
Ah, thank you for explaining that. It didn’t make sense to me.
It STILL doesn’t make sense to me. FL0213RZ = Floaters? The best it could be is “floatiers”, by going with the 2 as a t sound. What the hell is the 1? Is this supposed to be funny 1337 or not? Why is it pointed out? Bah.

I hate people who cry photoshop as much as the next person…but it has to be xD there’s no way it would float so daintily like that. But it’s still full of epic and win
The cyan ellipse is obviously photoshopped!
It’s not photoshopped. I hate people that give the “real story” as much as the next commenter but this kind of thing is seen in Florida all the time. if it could float, it could be in the bathtub regatta when I was younger.
There is something photoshopped below the water line where you can’t see it.
I’ll take the opinion of an Admiral about a boat as the last word.
And with that, they tabled this discussion.
They decided to leaf it alone for now.
I completely missed the fact it was a table…
Don’t feel bad, me too. >>

A highway is still a building!
They haven’t finished that highway yet?!
No wonder he had to MacGyver himself a boat! There’s no highway to drive on.
He could have MacGyver’d himself a car out of roller skates, bubble gum, 3 paperclips and a kitchen rug but there was no road to drive it on.
Oh please! MacGyver would have made something way cooler.

I would quite like one of those.
you fail in wanting a failboat

To Say Nothing of the Dog !
This boat is going to flip over and we’ll be All Seated on the Ground.
We can write our own Doomsday Book about it.
Nice, but I was more thinking Jerome K Jerome.
What a bummel.
man one boat
I’d be much more amused if he were very little.

How very attentive, sir.
You just HAD to get your licks in, didn’t you.
Yeah, I went down that route.

Good one.

His timber looks shivery to me, his dinghy dinghy’s going down at the first little bump.
If hits that bump will have time to wave goodbye?

Whats the best failboat eve? the eve of failboat? awsome movie title.
Eve of the failboat II: revenge of the FLO213Rz
Obviously it’s photoshopped. The sun is shining on the dudes back, that is why his face is in shadow. If you look at the table legs, the shadows are on the left which doesn’t make sense if the sun was shining from that direction. DUH.
Understanding of large white object in direct sunlight leading to shorter exposure time thus darkening of face fail.
Sunlight recognition fail. Look at the shadows of the arms or of the basket handle, they indicate that the sun is shining down almost vertically.
Did you do a pixel density test? No? Then shut up.
What you are calling a table leg shadow appears to actually be the shadow of his arm, which is hanging onto a rope, attached to the front leg.
No. The sun’s from directly above (look at the cast shadow) That’s why the man’s skin has the same shadows as the table, and the man’s face is in shadow (the shadow of his head)
Um, would be correct if the sun wasn’t near directly overhead. The shadow on the picnic basket is from the handle of the basket. His face has light on it, although it only illuminates the more protuberant areas, with the cant of his head that would make sense if the sun was only slightly off being directly overhead. But sure, duh all you want I guess.
People are so quick to call something “shopped”. Shop some where they sell fail cake or I can gladly give you a slice.
OBVIOUSLY…your a moron…look closer at the picture…you dont believe me send your email, and ill send ya a video!!! BTW learn photoshop!!!..lol
The sun’s shining on his arm, look at the shadow, idiot.
dude, look at the picnic basket! the shadow is directly over it, meaning that the sun had to have been high in the sky- probably in midday. If the sun was directly above him, it wouldn’t get in his face. DUH.
Hmm… considering its actually floating, I dont see the fail… unless it is actually photochopped. >.>
Ain’t a failure until he’s alive.. ! It seem’s he still afloat..!
Actually, I didn’t understand whether it was a table..
“Courage!” he said, and pointed toward the land,
“This mounting wave will roll us shoreward soon.”
”No wait!! Is that a piranah?!?!”
…in your pants or are you just happy to see me ?”.
As if that would make any sense.
…in your pants or are you just happy to see me ?”
…in yer pants or are you just happy to see me?
Nice hat trick, there.
Trifecta!
No, it’s just ham.
Is he the coxswain?
Epic fail ! On a whale hunt, with neither lance nor harpoon ?
Im first!HA!
Blogmonster is eating my comments.
That’s ‘cuz you’re so sweet and juicy!
Hey, i made a boat like that for my other son. Used it as a moose catcher. Worked like a charm =)
That’d be funnier, had the fact that you’re hunting a land animal in a boat not hindered the commonsensical aspect of it.
Who be this and why spoil the name of such an imbacile with your words?!
”No wait!! Is that a piranah in your pants or are you just happy to see me ?”
How many times are you going to make this joke???
Blogmonster was eating his posts… (or so he claims).
Huh ? They didn’t appear on MY screen. I feel very silly now.
It’s not a joke. It’s called a mantra.
Never heard it called a piranah! I thought “johnson” was weird….
There is no fish called johnson, maybe you are referring to a halibut ???
No. That’s Eric.
The Viking.
The half a bee.
powers of observation fail –> i didn’t notice he was on a table until i read the comments. d’oh.
how romantic.
I guess the ladies are lining up for a trip on the floating table.
The ladies? You men could learn from this picture. You finally see what the little man in the boat looks like. Now go forth and find the closest one to you and make a woman happy for New Years.
Those little boatmen should get together with some upright deck mates and make proper seamen out of ‘em.
It’s hard to find love on the high seas.
Oh, the little man in the boat’s not real. He’s like Bigfoot or the Chupacabra.
So you are advising that I should look for a lady with her legs in the air?
I thought you were “inserting he?” Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
If her legs are in the air, I doubt she is a lady.
If you’re going to make your own floating table, please read “Finer Points in the Spacing and Arrangement of Type” first.
Floaters?
Nice boat.
OK, maybe enough time has elapsed to allow a spoiler. Do a google image search on “tableboat.jpg” and you’ll see copies of a photo that originated from a publicity stunt that Mercury Outboards did in the early-mid 1960s. Right now I can’t find the original source, though I seem to recall the caption said something like “Mercury outboards can put anything on plane, even the kitchen table.”
The grey outboard in this failblog photo is likely the Mariner brand, manufactured by Mercury Marine. The outboard is chained to the transom–safety first! The fuel line extends from the outboard forward along the starboard side of the “boat”, but the fuel tank is not visible very likely because it is inside the picnic basket.
That’s as maybe, but it is still a tableboat.
Mookie sad.
We want cheer you up. *thinks*. Czuhc put special boots on again ?
I think it’s my turn to be riding mistress. Your turn to be the horse…
If I wrote “I’m a little hoarse”, would that disqualify me for evar?
What can I do to change that? I’m here to help!
We could use a stable boy in the above scenario. ^
And what would this entail?
What do you mane by that comment?
Do I have to gallop away on this by myself? C’mon people!
I’ll hoof you know that I don’t NEED your help.
Hello? HELLO?
Oh, PLEASE! Don’t saddle me with all of this….
*throws jodhpurs at neener* Shut up and change. You’re late for the fantasy.
I don’t like having things thrown at me. And I don’t like being told to shut up.
*places jodhpurs on hay*
*canters off*
Man, these actors are so touchy. Well, there goes my career as a director. *sigh* *sits on bale of hay* Hmmm… Where’s Ryannon, I bet these jodhpurs would fit her…
I’ll be in my cubby. You can send your 2nd AD….
Mookie, if you can enlist Ryannon, I’ll be the videographer/sound man… with a big role as the pizza delivery guy…
Can you also stand in for the fluffer? She quit… Bring your kleenex.
Fluffy quit?
Her agent got her a cameo on Deep Boat XVIII: Goldfish Showers.
Fine. I’ll just trot over to the corner and sulk(y).
It looks like an electric motor with the battery on the right, I mean starboard. Also note the lifejacket. Prudent, I say.
Battery cables don’t have primer bulbs. Fuel hoses do.
Yes, the lifejacket, lights and motor chain are good safety measures. I’m sure they’ll completely make up for the fact than any ripple or wave over a few inches will probably cause the bow to “dig in.”
I’ll go with you on the motor since I’m not nautically inclined.
Maybe you’re more inclined to planes.
Stop screwing around
I’m not sure I see where you’re heading. Please try a different tack.

Ability to notice that my comment was on the second page, thus was not lost after all, FAIL. Reposted comment being better than the original WIN.
His car is a radiatior on wheels
Resourcefulness win imo
What does Fl0213rz mean?? Stupid 1337 language…
It means “I failed to refresh my page and read previous comments.”
Or, it’s what Fat Bastard left when he ejected the tracking device.
*whispers* It’s all a clever trick to make us feel stupid. It has no meaning beyond identifying the “boat” for registration purposes. It resembles 1337 but it ain’t.
“The prefix and suffix must be separated from the numerals by a space equal to the width of the digits, i.e., FL 0001 AB.”
“A decal signifying the year during which the registration certificate is valid will be issued with each registration certificate. The decal must be displayed on the port (left) side of the vessel.”
improper letter number spacing + No valid decal = boat not really registered
= made-up registration number
= probably is attempted 1337
Me noticing from my own quoting of the FL DMV rules that the sticker would not be present on the starboard side of a boat registered in FL: FAIL.
Krazee floridians; every other state I’ve boated in had registrations stickers for both sides of the boat.
PIE!!!!!
I like the red and green navigation lights. I’d call this boat a win.
he licensed his table as a watercraft…
It’s part of a new computer game…World of Watercraft.
Find it now in the productivity section!
Oh wow, I think this could be the best FAIL I’ve ever seen.
I’m just waiting for the front to dig in. Then the real fun starts. *Malevelent Smirk*
~Frosty.
first?
See this page for example:
http://failblog.org/vote/page/23/
Will the community announcement fail and age appropriate toy fail ever come out of voting limbo?
Dad?
How the heck is this a fail?
I’d day this is an epic turning-common-household-objects-into-cool-stuff win
How do you “day” something?
24 hours from now you’ll understand
Economical win?
proof of concept WIN!!!
This boat is not nearly as cool as the Roflcopter. Didn’t need to say anything though, everyone knew that! Amirite?
You are so right. Somewhere, a fat kid is going in circles.
The real issue here is water displacemat.
He really forked up on his seating, too.
First!
its his boat registration number guys florida 13rz
This is more of a Coffee Table Win. But he should have added a nose to the front so it can cut through the water, it must buck up a lot. It is a total buck up.
It actually looks cool XD
The failness in this is probably the number, because a real boat has a name, this has a name like boats.lol
worst. photoshopping. ever.
No, I’m afraid that would be your face.
What does the number have to do with it im failing at getting the fail
its not photo shopped. my cousin (the one in the pic) has a ton more photos that ive seen. yes, its really registered as a boat in the state of florida and it is a dining room table. In retrospect, i could’ve come up with a better caption, but i didn’t expect it to make it anywhere honestly.
last
My posts aren’t working
just kidding
im post
It’s not a fail. The boat works perfectly well, nothing is going wrong in the picture.
Yet another FAIL FAIL.
First!!!!!!!111eleventy1
Some of you are referring to it as if it’s a possible registration number. IT’S A TABLE, UPSIDE-DOWN, WITH A MOTOR. Obviously the reg number was painted on there as a joke.
I just can’t call this a fail with all the success going on in this picture. This man is a champion of survival.
Are you kidding? That is obvioulsy a Florida boat registration! Hey if it floats, our government wants to tax the daylights out of it!
Is it odd that I didn’t notice it was a table until someone mentioned it
The best part are the navigational lights on the tables legs… it’s seaworthy!!
He may look silly, but this is win. He turned a table and an outboard motor into a successful boat. Not a good boat, but it seems to be doing the job. Perhaps if it were a video of it capsizing or something, then it could qualify as fail.
Is that a tide table?
Redneck Coast Guard Win.
Awesome, I want one!
*runs to dining room*
worst fail ever to be shown on this site
FIRST!
i’m sorry, but this is the most epic win i’ve ever seen
It’s not fail, it requires skill to build such thing
i srsly dun get it… could someone explain???
sad thing is… I know a guy whos done something similar to this
There are fish under the boat that think they are zombie food.
What the floating fuck?
For the love of God, will someone PLEASE explain the following:
1) What is a 1337?
2) Why do you think the registration number spells “Floaters?” Becaus, at best, it looks like “Floatiers,” and therefore makes no sense as a fail, a win, or any other thing.
Tank yew.
1. Please click “Show All Comments”.
2. Stare at the humongously long nest of comments near the top that detail the answers to those questions.
3. Thank you.
“Where’s the picnic table, honey?”
“It sank.”
I took ages staring at the circled text on the side trying to figure out how it failed or was funny, until i realised it was a table. Goddamn.
First comment!
Comment 666
For anyone that STILL cannot get it, here is a community offer from beloved Captain Obvious:
“The boat is a table.”
Yes. I see the table. Thank you. But why are the numbers circled? Is it because the OP thinks it hilariously funny that a table would have registration numbers painted on? If so, humor fail.
And I still don’t know what a 1337 is. Chalk it up to advanced age.
dude…it’s hilarious. Who the hell provides marine regisrtation for a floating table?
traulin fer leaches
Is it supposed to mean Flotlerz?
Failblog FAIL
it’s spelled EVER!!!!!!!!!!
fl0213rz seems to mean floats, i think, if anyone wanted a translation.
Gary’s Mod in real life = fail.
…700th comment!
what is fl0213rz???
2nd FAIL – Evar
3rd FAIL – Passing a spelling test
evar? (fail)
Good fail picture, but bad spelling.
winboat!
Pop culture fail.
i dont get it and im livid.
a piano…
should be a real fail down there underwater
haha… i think half the people here have no idea about the significance of the 1337 on the side.
Yeah, why don’t you explain it to us.
SHITWAFFLES
Nice table mate.
Flosberz? what the hell does that mean?
How is this a fail? He literally turned the tables on failure and is off to have a picnic.
what kind of a great thiniking man would sit at a dinner table thinking, ‘hmmm, i wonder if i could turn this into a boat.’ what a genius. no failure here, just pure genius.
“EVAR”….? FAILBLOG FAILPOST…fucking idiot.
But…
There’s no gas tank.
CLearly, he is on his way to a picnic. he has a basket and everything. and now he’s agot an eating surface, and a ride home.
i wouldnt say this is a fail… this looks like a win to me. it floats, its registered, and its a helluva lot cheaper!
omgrofllolzlmao
This FAIL Picture is a FAIL…Trying to state that FL0213RZ=Floaterz…Doesn’t even know how to do 1337 speak…
are you kidding me?! that’s an epic win.
I was to busy looking at the Flo213Rz thing to notice that he’s sailing on a table >.>, clap clap clap
winboat
this is not even a fail!! his boat is awesome!
thats a redneck for you.
looks like a win to me. he has a boat, and something to set his coffee on
well, whatever floats your boat
It says “Floaters” in 1337 lol thats the joke
That’s a WIN!
That isn’t shopped. It’s real and is really registered. I’ve seen him in it on the canal that runs next to southern blvd. in west palm beach. He also has a unicycle bolted to a blank of wood that he rides like a water ski.
WIN
the guys ridin on a table and has a # for it when its a table its not that hard
That’s one damn cool boat!
that looks like fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol
Yes, it is a Florida license plate.
However, it also is 1337 for FLOATERS. Why?
FLO = FLO
2 = @ (Shift-2)
1 = t (1337 is LEEt turned 180)
3 = E
R = R
Z = S
FLO213RZ = FLOATERS
The significance of the letters/numbers, which no one has been able to correctly figure out, is this: those letters/numbers mean this “boat” is registered. It is funny because that means that this “boat” was actually held to some sort of seagoing standards and passed, thus having a registration number.
Hello!
£υηçhþöχ
haha lolzzzzzzzz
No, don’t! Wrong one. Some horrible person remixed over the sketch.
