Aja, you have to be in the right mood for Glen or Glenda or it will be dreadfully boring. When I saw it, my boyfriend and I totally lost it at “Pull the string!” We proceeded to giggle throughout the rest of the movie (no mind-altering substances necessary). Better than Ed Wood. Seeing clips of it later, it was horrifically dull, however.
Now City Lights…. there is no wrong time to see City Lights.

*wonders if her first job (selling flowers from a cart) would have been less bizarre if she couldn’t see all the freaks she met.*
You must watch them with someone else. My brother and I watched Lost Boys: New Tribe at 2 am the night before I went back to college. It’s a movie about surfing vampires. It was awful. We nearly split our sides laughing.
*senses a bit of bias* What, we can have conversations not related to the fail, but they can’t? Just because they’re not so witty, we’re telling them to stop talking to each other?
There’s a type of amethyst sold as “Spirit Quartz,” a moniker heavily used/abused by dealers to suggest their stock has mystic vibes. The name came from the Tanzanian miners, in whose natural environment the color purple is not found – thus, the crystals were named after a purple cleaning product available to them (brand name, “Spirit”).
The bond strength is apparently close, the compound chemistry lustrous om nature.
“om” was a Freudian off-screen finger-slip. Of course I meant “in.”

Sir, are you aware, that by stating what number you are you are now being held in custody for being a troll? I will have to bring you in for questioning, while BF will administer punishment.
*brings in thomasw11 for questioning*
and so we wait for the tortu…eh, i mean questioning to begin!
Sorry, bud, but you’re in the troll cage yourself. I tossed you in myself on the other thread, so you might want to start figuring out how you are going to get out.
I think the troll-cage had to be so big to fit them all in, it actually contains all of failblog now. Woop-woop.

Noooo! my…whole..existence depends on this! how…how could you!

LB, that is just sick! But sick is good – and if you would like to meet any of your fans, clicky. If it’s not your thing, no biggie. Many of us have developed great friendships this way, though.
OH! BTW Mookie, (and others), have I been punished enough?
I just noticed I’ve been blocked from even asking to be your MySpace friend, (again). I think I’m reformed.

BFF…one day you will learn that one of the most effective ways to break down a stereotype is to laugh at it…ridicule it. Crazyasian is not adhering to the stereotype…he’s laughing at it, which makes it seem ridiculous. Which, of course, it is. Very effective. This is why Ryannon laughed…she saw exactly what he was doing and appreciated it.
Calla lillies are perfect for funerals! Birds of Paradise not so much. I have bad memories associated with them (blame my mother)
My personal favorites are casablanca lillies. They smell sooooo good.
I prefer stargazers for the color but they smell equally as nice. My favorites are stargazers, tulips and freesia. For roses, Oceana roses. Like peaach sorbet in a vase.
Except for the leg joints, pretty good. How’s your self doing Ryannon?
If you don’t like using a cane Dragon try using one of those electric shopping carts. There I was today zipping around in one wearing my surgical mask.
I did receive my cane, but they had cut it over four inches too short! Can you imagine a six-foot tall woman hobbling around with a 32 inch cane??? I’d look ridiculous.
Hey Coyote! Hope you’re doing okay.
And for flowers, I love anemones. They just look so pretty… I like irises too, and flowers in general. But I love taking care of plants the most.
Greetings and Salutations, Coyote!!! Glad to have you here, and I’m laughing at the thought of you being an anonymous (due to the mask) bad driver in one of those carts… a hit-n-run-really-slowly, if you will…
(not implying you’re a bad driver, just found the idea funny)
Yup. It’s on the right side. On the day that it was put in they had nocuous chemicals flowing through it within six hours. Some of the this and thats can be entered in no other way. Too toxic.
I take that you too have had a run in with this stuff?
Twice with a little glow in the dark action on occasion as well. I still have mine and have to carry documentation with me so if something happens they know to leave my right arm alone when drawing blood.
Ryannon you are a sister of the port. I am looking at my little card right now. I somehow doubt that we are isolated examples here. Doing well I trust and most fervently hope?
I wish. Though, double digits is an improvement, no?
And I may be on the surgery circuit soon myself. A few new tumors and one that has been acting up. My mother is not all that concerned, so that makes me feel better.
Not this time. The new one is on my neck and the one that is REALLY causing concern is on my forehead. Lucky me. And by new, I mean I noticed it yesterday.
Ryannon you truly have all of my hope with you. That is not a mere politeness either.
Dragon: Have you considered adding a flask cane (ala prohibition) to your infant collection. I will need to keep my eyes peeled for one at the antique joints for my own collection.
Dragon needs a binders cane! Complete with the corkscrew! I’ll keep an eye out for one. I think we need to plan an unofficial FailBlog meet up one of these days. Maybe near Coyote.
The dragon cane really is as beautiful as it looked on the website. Now I’ll just have to curb the temptation to thwack my students with it when they annoy me.
Coyote: Yup, I’m afraid so. These are some cousins that got dinnerware reassignment surgery. They couldn’t handle the uncertainty of being half spoon, half fork, and were convinced they’d been forged as the wrong utensil.
And, omigosh! *hugs all Failbloggers* I had no idea so many of you had experience with that… you have all my love and support. That must really suck.
The only tumor I’ve ever had was under my left middle finger. I played with it and then it went away after a while. Must have been benign.
Spork if anything like that happens to you, or anyone that you know, do NOT wait for it to disappear again. Get thee to a doctor as fast as your tines will carry you. My primary care doctor thought that it was a cyst.
Coyote, tell it from the mountain baby! The only reason I caught mine so early was because it so prevalent in my family. No woman has made it to 59 on my mothers side. I plan on being the first.
Other than those annoying voices in my head? Bob Newhart and Robin Williams Reality What a Concept album. Perhaps some 2000 year old man stuff too. Does anyone else here like old (pre-Python) comedy?
I don’t know about pre-Python, but when I was a kid, we used to listen to Bill Cosby and Steve Martin albums all the time. I remember having many a good laugh with my family listening to those records.
As for the voices in your head…they are devious little buggers. Listen to us, instead.
*smooch*
Sorry I zoned out, I was researching something for Coyote I heard on Terry Gross the other day.
I had a teacher that went to school with Bill Cosby and knew the person Fat Albert was based on.
Oh yes, I remember the dentist bit now that you’ve done a perfect impression!
.
I heard on “Fresh Air” that “Cancer on Five Dollars a Day (chemo not included)” by Robert Schimmel is out on paperback. Obviously I thought of you, coyote, when I listened to this interview. I’m not familiar with his work (hence the research) and his comedy probably isn’t my thing, but you might find this book interesting nonetheless. http://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Five-Dollars-chemo-included/dp/0738213187/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232340437&sr=1-1
I love the smoke rising from the mowf.
True story: I was having a wisdom tooth extracted while listening to that bit on the dentists headphones. It took a spell before they could understand why I was laughing during the procedure.
On Newhart, I’m sure I’ve listened to “Button Down Mind” but I don’t recall much other than “The Driving Instructor.”
“How fast were you going when Mr. Adams jumped from the car?”
There is book titled Cancer Has It’s Privileges. I never read it but the title is thought provoking. One of the privileges that has occurred to me is that one needn’t put up with much from idiots with out let ones feeling on the subject be known. I know what you are thinking: Coyote, you always suppress any crankiness.
The truth is that I have been known to fly off of the handle when provoked. The truth will out
Coyote…true story. The only time in my whole life I’ve ever told anyone to f*ck off was when I was in the hospital. I’d just had my appendix out six hours before, and an impossibly perky nurse bounced into my room at six in the morning and told me that I was going to get up and walk.
“No. I’m not,” I told her. She informed me that I was mistaken. I reassured her that no, I was not. This went on for a while until I finally “flew off the handle” and said that very, very rude thing to her.
She laughed…and then got me up and walking. *grin*
Dragon you had obviously not yet learned the skill of effectively faking sleep.
Here is a medical question for the world at large: What is so frigging important about my weight that I must be aroused at five in the blessed AM, after three hard fought hours of sleep, to have it measured?
1) Upholstered finny denizen: Greetings, and a hug or two back at you! All of my sentences are finished. Even the ones that appear to be fragmented by a mortar round. At least as far as I am concerned with them.
2) I left you an opening like that?! Then number three has arrived none too soon.
Sorry, it’s just stereotypical humo(u)r is vastly different in the UK than the US.
In the UK, a comment like that could get you fired at work. If a comedian said that, he could have to apologise on TV.
When you’re in London this long, multi-culturality is hammered into your head, and comments like those made by itsacrazyasian become less and less funny.
Of course, me having a British sense of humour limits my grip on American humour.
Well…I’m pretty sure that it was only funny because crazyasian is…well…Asian. If I had said it, or Ryannon had said it, your outrage would be more appropriate.
It’s when we learn to laugh at ourselves that the world learns to laugh WITH us…not AT us.
Well, yes, but I’ve never actually heard another Asian apart from me commenting that ‘we all look the same’, so it came as a bit of a shock.
Anyway, I’m beginning to rant, so I think we should just dismiss the entire affair as a ‘blip’.
My dad’s wife is Japanese and she is the first one to mock the stereotypes about Asians. When my dad doesn’t understant our banter back and forth she tells him he would have to be Asian to understand. The look on his face makes both of us laugh that much harder.
And technically, you say something offensive at work in the US you get fired for it as well. It isn’t just a UK thing.
I don’t really mind now about that comment, I’m now slightly concerned it looks like Dragon and the Admiral are both trying to coerce me into laughing at something I don’t find funny. I really don’t mind whether your sense of humour is different, everyone’s is – which is what makes the world interesting-, but that that fact I am being FORCED, is, well, oppresive, to be blunt.
No one is forcing you to do anything, BondFan. I was merely attempting to explain why the comment was not as offensive as you originally took it to be, and why it was funny to others. If you can point out where I’m “forcing” you to find it funny, I’ll apologize and retract my statement.
Look, it seems I’m just digging myself deeper and deeper into an abyss, so I’ll stop ranting and try to speak normally:
I understand why you find that funny, and I too gradually see the humo(u)rous aspect of it. No need to turn this into a debate.
*scratches head*
Didn’t mean to step on your toes. Its just something I’ve grown
accustomed to. I was actually down in the Hustler store in Hollywood
last night with a few of my friends last night. I ended up getting followed by an older American couple who happen to mistake me for a gay Oriental p0rn star. F
I just learned to laugh, my girlfriend on the other hand thought i was keeping a secret from her.
on a side note, stupid Vince and his “Slap Chop” is on tv… grr
I have 8 computers in my house, all on different IP addresses. I am sure I could hammer this place with simultaneous annoyance if I was so inclined. But I am no longer in my early teens and was never into that kind of nonsense.
I believe my response has decided to nest somewhere else, I can’t find it, but i’ll refer to it again, as it is equally appropriate. *Goes and sits in corner*
It may then be expanded. One knows for sure only that:
1) One’s life will eventually end;
2) One’s nesting spot(s) will eventually be trolled.

On reflection, the latter was already obvious.

Ry, I have a different avatar for each of my computers, as they each imply a different mode/mood (thus the color changes). Sure, it would be far too easy.
There are only two that I use for anything. One work laptop and one home laptop. The rest serve other purposes predominantly tied in to work but each one is handy if I need it.
As I learned in the US Military…”Improvise and Compromise….Adapt.” Use it as a spork, when you’re through eating, use it against your enemy,,,, or as a back scratcher!
Thanks DW! i’ll keep watchin to learn THE WAY, then start to emerge from my cacoon. But i’m still going to pat myself on the back for the Military comment. *pats but misses*
Alright, Dragonwriter, you are my mentor; that is if you’re willing and promise to help keep me away from the Troll cage….(Whamshow or no Whamshow!)
K?
I would recommend Firefox as a default browser; it has a built-in spellcheck (into which the word “spellcheck” has not been added among others; no dictionary is complete). It helps for all communications, no matter how masterful one’s spelling (special cases excluded) … it would have red-flagged, for example, “Appriciation.” Wishing to you, smooth sailing ahead.
*Kracks knuckles*
* Attempts to take out ‘Nervous’ from name*
!Time to dive in head first! Thanks for the start-ups!
*Frames dragonwriter and Medica on wall in behind my computer for inspiration!*
Funny, was just fumbling the keys to find out how, but I think I’ll wait for when I break my cacoon and earn my new name.
*puts Judy on Wall o’ Inspiration!*
Hey now, if that means what I think it does, I watched the very first up to almost all of that era……So I have to face it, I AM GETTING OLD! my 18 year old daughter has never seen Capt. Kirk (before Boston “FATTY” Legal). I have never subjected any of my four children to it.
*apologizes for the repeat (comp. probs.)*
But if you ask me, if they “dragged” them on the floor, it my8 cause a rupture in the hull, therefore causing a vacuum removing everthing from the Ship, and we wouldn’t even be talking about Sporks now:)

You do…?

hmm.. lets buy the sp..fork and get breakfast
breakfast? what timezone r u in ^^ ? and what u mean fork?, it is clearly writen on the package it´s a spoon. *pats Chinny gently on the head*
5:43am over here
split the difference…
its a spork
ok ^^ Agreed it´s a spork =)
btw 7:47 pm here
FWIW I did see Glen or Glenda earlier and it was truly horrible. I made up for it with City Lights though.
it’s clearly a spoon i dunno what you people see.
Aja, you have to be in the right mood for Glen or Glenda or it will be dreadfully boring. When I saw it, my boyfriend and I totally lost it at “Pull the string!” We proceeded to giggle throughout the rest of the movie (no mind-altering substances necessary). Better than Ed Wood.

There is no spoon. When you learn that, you will be one with the universe.
But that is THE spoon. I mean hey. We’ve been living a lie all this time.
i thought it was a spoon, then WOAH NOT A SPOON?!?!
it shocked me to, big time!
I see you’ve played Forky – Spoony before…

OH! BTW Mookie, (and others), have I been punished enough?

I didn’t think you liked my pattern.
Maybe. But I can’t get enough of your patten. *wink*
As far as experience goes, one leads to the other anyway. But no chopsticking xD
Spoon! Now with sharp spikes!
First!
SO where is the spoon?
*TAZE*
Hey! I did not give you permission to taze anyone!
*revokes licence*
yea well i tried getting away with it. to everyone else we look the same
hahahaha
I feel very insulted. I’m Japanese.
*puts on Humo(u)r 101 professor hat*
BFF…one day you will learn that one of the most effective ways to break down a stereotype is to laugh at it…ridicule it. Crazyasian is not adhering to the stereotype…he’s laughing at it, which makes it seem ridiculous. Which, of course, it is. Very effective. This is why Ryannon laughed…she saw exactly what he was doing and appreciated it.
Hee!
Well, women always have to have to get the first AND last word in, you know.
Do not!
Do too!
Hi, Avis!
*HUGS*
(clickie for a laugh)
HAHAHAHAHA!
(HUGS)
That was great! I’ll send flowers to your funeral. Mookie’s gonna kill you!
Cala lillies and Birds of Paradise, please… I’m partial to tropical flowers for some reason.
No fragrance and more manly.
Lunchbox put his “manly” on the line with THAT picture…!
Calla lillies are perfect for funerals! Birds of Paradise not so much. I have bad memories associated with them (blame my mother)
My personal favorites are casablanca lillies. They smell sooooo good.
There are no words…
I prefer stargazers for the color but they smell equally as nice. My favorites are stargazers, tulips and freesia. For roses, Oceana roses. Like peaach sorbet in a vase.
Freesias are amazing, along with sweet peas and
snapdragons. For roses…pure white. Forget-me-nots–I have some tattooed across my heart.
Pinks, my next tattoo will include pinks. All because of the last line of one of my most favorite books.
I’m of the living plant instead of cut flower school of thought myself. Hey Avis! Haven’t exchanged bon mots for a mot.
Yay, how are you feeling?
WOO!
*breaks out the lime popsicles*
HEY!!! HI!!! I ‘ll try to keep the caps down to a minimum.
I can’t have live flowers. Cut flowers last longer around me.
Except for the leg joints, pretty good. How’s your self doing Ryannon?
If you don’t like using a cane Dragon try using one of those electric shopping carts. There I was today zipping around in one wearing my surgical mask.
Coyote do you have an infusaport for your treatments?
Heeeee!
I did receive my cane, but they had cut it over four inches too short! Can you imagine a six-foot tall woman hobbling around with a 32 inch cane??? I’d look ridiculous.
…I’d do it to make you laugh, though.
Hey Coyote! Hope you’re doing okay.
And for flowers, I love anemones. They just look so pretty… I like irises too, and flowers in general. But I love taking care of plants the most.
Greetings and Salutations, Coyote!!! Glad to have you here, and I’m laughing at the thought of you being an anonymous (due to the mask) bad driver in one of those carts… a hit-n-run-really-slowly, if you will…
(not implying you’re a bad driver, just found the idea funny)
Yup. It’s on the right side. On the day that it was put in they had nocuous chemicals flowing through it within six hours. Some of the this and thats can be entered in no other way. Too toxic.
I take that you too have had a run in with this stuff?
Twice with a little glow in the dark action on occasion as well. I still have mine and have to carry documentation with me so if something happens they know to leave my right arm alone when drawing blood.
Eeep!
*hug*
Spork is the fail a relative of yours, or have all of the flatware jokes been done already?
£υηçhþöχ: Your image gave me an image of my clearing a path by the saber like use of my cane. Not a bad idea on consideration. Hmm.
Avis: You sound like my sister. I swear she could kill a plastic plant.
Ryannon you are a sister of the port. I am looking at my little card right now. I somehow doubt that we are isolated examples here. Doing well I trust and most fervently hope?
Avis: is it warming up at all there?
4 years “clean” if you will and counting
10 years since it first started.
*pops champagne*
Well fandamntastic Ryanon! The magic five is just around the corner.
I wish. Though, double digits is an improvement, no?
And I may be on the surgery circuit soon myself. A few new tumors and one that has been acting up. My mother is not all that concerned, so that makes me feel better.
Oh, great heavens.
*hugs everybody*
Yay, celebrates the inauguration and throws one back*
Yep Coyote, 5 is when you are supposed to be able to take a breath. I was so close before it came back to visit.
Single digit damncold and double digit damncold is still DAMNCOLD!
I hope that the “surgery circuit” does not include duct tape and dental chairs again.
Not this time. The new one is on my neck and the one that is REALLY causing concern is on my forehead. Lucky me. And by new, I mean I noticed it yesterday.
Ryannon you truly have all of my hope with you. That is not a mere politeness either.
Dragon: Have you considered adding a flask cane (ala prohibition) to your infant collection. I will need to keep my eyes peeled for one at the antique joints for my own collection.
Perhaps the one on your forehead is your third eye awakening. Think transcendental thoughts and see what happens.
Dragon needs a binders cane! Complete with the corkscrew! I’ll keep an eye out for one. I think we need to plan an unofficial FailBlog meet up one of these days. Maybe near Coyote.
Hee…! That would be awesome! Thanks, coyote.
The dragon cane really is as beautiful as it looked on the website. Now I’ll just have to curb the temptation to thwack my students with it when they annoy me.
Um… it’s a little to the left for a third eye. Not that that stops me from thinking good thoughts!
Coyote: Yup, I’m afraid so. These are some cousins that got dinnerware reassignment surgery. They couldn’t handle the uncertainty of being half spoon, half fork, and were convinced they’d been forged as the wrong utensil.
And, omigosh! *hugs all Failbloggers* I had no idea so many of you had experience with that… you have all my love and support. That must really suck.
The only tumor I’ve ever had was under my left middle finger. I played with it and then it went away after a while. Must have been benign.
Spork if anything like that happens to you, or anyone that you know, do NOT wait for it to disappear again. Get thee to a doctor as fast as your tines will carry you. My primary care doctor thought that it was a cyst.
By the year 2010, every family in the US (not sure about the world) will have been touched by one form of cancer or another at least one time.
Coyote, tell it from the mountain baby! The only reason I caught mine so early was because it so prevalent in my family. No woman has made it to 59 on my mothers side. I plan on being the first.
I have no trouble believing that at all.
Err 50
I was going to say that my post was related to your statistic, but I see that it applies equally well to either.
Hee! Definitely.
So who are you listening to tonight, coyote?
Other than those annoying voices in my head? Bob Newhart and Robin Williams Reality What a Concept album. Perhaps some 2000 year old man stuff too. Does anyone else here like old (pre-Python) comedy?
Sorry to be late to the party. Hearty welcome coyote.
*HUGS and well wishes to all*
I don’t know about pre-Python, but when I was a kid, we used to listen to Bill Cosby and Steve Martin albums all the time. I remember having many a good laugh with my family listening to those records.
As for the voices in your head…they are devious little buggers. Listen to us, instead.
Oh, and coyote? Could you shoot me off a quick email, please? I have something for you!
Coyote, as a kid I used to listen to Dr. Demento on the radio late at night (when I should have been asleep). Lots of old bits were aired.
I too, listened to the Cosby albums when younger. I tend to quote them from time to time. You can blame my father for that.
Email sent.
Cosby’s Noah is gold. Vooba vooba vooba. *Ding* Noah.
You listened to Dr. Demento when you should have been asleep? I am surrounded by children.
I remember Cosby’s Noah bit, “What’s a cubit?” From the same album, I remember laughing at a bit about a car accident involving a tree.
At the time, The Captain and Tennille’s Muskrat Love song was being spoofed.
How about the pregnant elephant with no manual for delivery. “There’s old Noah just standing under there and WHOMB”
My favorite was Cosby’s “Brain Damage”. That and the jello on the kitchen floor bit.
We had “To Russel, My Brother Whom I Slept With” and “200 M.P.H.” I still quote them, too!
“Awwww….you broke the bed!!”
(coyote…received and answered! Theng-kew!)
Have any of listened to Bob Newharts stuff? It all still works.
*quietly inserts an apparently silent you*
We didn’t have any of his records, but I liked his show.
And hmph! I make a prime “broke the bed” comment and the Admiral isn’t around to take advantage of it.
*lower lip trembles just a little*
I’m here, let me steady that for you…
The cad! How dare he not be here to make a mildly off color comment.
I shall provide you with a Benny Hill lyric about a broken bed: ♫We kissed all through the winter and made love right through the spring.♫
Hee…like magic, it is.
*smooch*
*smooch*
Sorry I zoned out, I was researching something for Coyote I heard on Terry Gross the other day.
I had a teacher that went to school with Bill Cosby and knew the person Fat Albert was based on.
Tsk. No sorries! Besides, I knew all I had to do was say your name and you’d be there.
And how cool! Bill Cosby was my absolute favorite comedian when I was a kid. Did you ever see his “dentist” routine?
“By lippbbff is on dhe floorrbbbr…”
Oh yes, I remember the dentist bit now that you’ve done a perfect impression!
.
I heard on “Fresh Air” that “Cancer on Five Dollars a Day (chemo not included)” by Robert Schimmel is out on paperback. Obviously I thought of you, coyote, when I listened to this interview. I’m not familiar with his work (hence the research) and his comedy probably isn’t my thing, but you might find this book interesting nonetheless.
http://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Five-Dollars-chemo-included/dp/0738213187/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1232340437&sr=1-1
I love the smoke rising from the mowf.
True story: I was having a wisdom tooth extracted while listening to that bit on the dentists headphones. It took a spell before they could understand why I was laughing during the procedure.
“FIIBERRR!”
….rofl!
On Newhart, I’m sure I’ve listened to “Button Down Mind” but I don’t recall much other than “The Driving Instructor.”
“How fast were you going when Mr. Adams jumped from the car?”
Thank-you Admiral. I shall look into it.
There is book titled Cancer Has It’s Privileges. I never read it but the title is thought provoking. One of the privileges that has occurred to me is that one needn’t put up with much from idiots with out let ones feeling on the subject be known. I know what you are thinking: Coyote, you always suppress any crankiness.
The truth is that I have been known to fly off of the handle when provoked. The truth will out
Coyote…true story. The only time in my whole life I’ve ever told anyone to f*ck off was when I was in the hospital. I’d just had my appendix out six hours before, and an impossibly perky nurse bounced into my room at six in the morning and told me that I was going to get up and walk.
“No. I’m not,” I told her. She informed me that I was mistaken. I reassured her that no, I was not. This went on for a while until I finally “flew off the handle” and said that very, very rude thing to her.
She laughed…and then got me up and walking. *grin*
You’ve never heard the famous Sir Walter Raliegh (sp?) call? Get thine self to a suitable cd store forthwith! You shall thank me.
Dragon you had obviously not yet learned the skill of effectively faking sleep.
Here is a medical question for the world at large: What is so frigging important about my weight that I must be aroused at five in the blessed AM, after three hard fought hours of sleep, to have it measured?
Coyote!! *hughughughughughughug* and you can finish that sentance anytime.
Coyote…I never fake it.
1) Upholstered finny denizen: Greetings, and a hug or two back at you! All of my sentences are finished. Even the ones that appear to be fragmented by a mortar round. At least as far as I am concerned with them.
2) I left you an opening like that?! Then number three has arrived none too soon.
3) Goodnight all. Pleasant dreams to you.
#2 was directed at Dragon. Bed, bed,bed.
G’night, my friend! I hope you sleep extraordinarily well.
Sorry, it’s just stereotypical humo(u)r is vastly different in the UK than the US.
In the UK, a comment like that could get you fired at work. If a comedian said that, he could have to apologise on TV.
When you’re in London this long, multi-culturality is hammered into your head, and comments like those made by itsacrazyasian become less and less funny.
Of course, me having a British sense of humour limits my grip on American humour.
Well…I’m pretty sure that it was only funny because crazyasian is…well…Asian. If I had said it, or Ryannon had said it, your outrage would be more appropriate.
It’s when we learn to laugh at ourselves that the world learns to laugh WITH us…not AT us.
Well, yes, but I’ve never actually heard another Asian apart from me commenting that ‘we all look the same’, so it came as a bit of a shock.
Anyway, I’m beginning to rant, so I think we should just dismiss the entire affair as a ‘blip’.
My dad’s wife is Japanese and she is the first one to mock the stereotypes about Asians. When my dad doesn’t understant our banter back and forth she tells him he would have to be Asian to understand. The look on his face makes both of us laugh that much harder.
And technically, you say something offensive at work in the US you get fired for it as well. It isn’t just a UK thing.
I know, my secretary gets really mad when I call her a stupid gash.
She was top in her class after all.
I don’t really mind now about that comment, I’m now slightly concerned it looks like Dragon and the Admiral are both trying to coerce me into laughing at something I don’t find funny. I really don’t mind whether your sense of humour is different, everyone’s is – which is what makes the world interesting-, but that that fact I am being FORCED, is, well, oppresive, to be blunt.
No one is forcing you to do anything, BondFan. I was merely attempting to explain why the comment was not as offensive as you originally took it to be, and why it was funny to others. If you can point out where I’m “forcing” you to find it funny, I’ll apologize and retract my statement.
We weren’t sure you understood itsacrazyasia’s comment. I’m sure you don’t understand our comments. Read them again later.
Hee!
I love Zack Addy.
Look, it seems I’m just digging myself deeper and deeper into an abyss, so I’ll stop ranting and try to speak normally:
I understand why you find that funny, and I too gradually see the humo(u)rous aspect of it. No need to turn this into a debate.
We’re friends here, BFF. We discuss things when we disagree so we can learn from each other. Nobody wants hurt feelings.
*noogies BFF*
*receives noogie*
Thanks Admiral.
Don’t taunt the fear demon!
*squishes the fear demon under bootheel*
*gives BFF a cookie*
Yay! A cookie!
*munches on cookie*
Hey for what its worth, i didn’t mean to insult you.
Wouldn’t she be your mother? Or did i miss something?
You haven’t understood very much about Ryannon’s family history, imho.
itsacrazyasian, my mother died when I was 19. My father married a Japanese woman, hence his wife.
Again, your comment was better and quicker than mine. At least I refreshed this time.
*sits on hands*
Hee! Usually I’m the one just a heartbeat behind you!
*feels a great sense of accomplishment*
Hi! lol
I hope you are kidding.
Clearly, itsacrazyasian is aware of this, and that’s why it’s funny. He thought nobody would notice.
*honors*
*scratches head*
Didn’t mean to step on your toes. Its just something I’ve grown
accustomed to. I was actually down in the Hustler store in Hollywood
last night with a few of my friends last night. I ended up getting followed by an older American couple who happen to mistake me for a gay Oriental p0rn star. F
I just learned to laugh, my girlfriend on the other hand thought i was keeping a secret from her.
on a side note, stupid Vince and his “Slap Chop” is on tv… grr
*snorkity*
“You’re going to love my nuts!”
Still kills me! Hee!
Chinny has it =)
i wish
Earlier today I thought, “troll hunting is the new trolling”; already one-upped.
100!
101?
102?
103!
104!
STFU please thank you.
damn, another person killed it
That would be you and your friend.
At least i have one?
Are you sure it’s 2 people? Can there be 2 this equally annoying?
I highly doubt it. Especially with spontaneous simultaneous flooding of … equally annoying quality.
I have 8 computers in my house, all on different IP addresses. I am sure I could hammer this place with simultaneous annoyance if I was so inclined. But I am no longer in my early teens and was never into that kind of nonsense.
LIES!
Void, you haven’t been here very long have you?
no *sits in the corner*
I believe my response has decided to nest somewhere else, I can’t find it, but i’ll refer to it again, as it is equally appropriate. *Goes and sits in corner*
They tend to reproduce at an alarming rate, remember…trollism is catching, and the mentally challenged are the most at risk…
It may then be expanded. One knows for sure only that:
1) One’s life will eventually end;
2) One’s nesting spot(s) will eventually be trolled.

On reflection, the latter was already obvious.

Ry, I have a different avatar for each of my computers, as they each imply a different mode/mood (thus the color changes). Sure, it would be far too easy.
There are only two that I use for anything. One work laptop and one home laptop. The rest serve other purposes predominantly tied in to work but each one is handy if I need it.
How can ppl be so evil ?! *cries even more*
Going to sleep
My spam ends here
well may the fork be with u always! m8 <33
as you can see, we did
My attempts to make everybody’s heads explode ends here. Peace out.
All you actually did was make yourself look like an idiot and engender a great deal of contempt. Congrats.
I didn’t expect to see this Fail so Spoon.
Are you John Void?
no i’m Void Void. a.k.a. Voidy. Hello nice to meet you Fail Blog!
I think someone has John’s car. Oh wait, it got burned down.
i believe the registration is now *looks at name*
John Void the dentist?
Those aren’t matzah balls!
I wish my head was bald and I was dressed in a white robe, then I would understand this I’m sure.
it’s the missing link between fork and spork…
maybe if your chuck norris…
Chuck Norrises are for sale? Where can I buy them? Amazon?
I got my Chuck Norris on eBay.
But…is Chuck Norris not priceless?
*head asplodes*
Is he not… unavailable?
*Face replodes*
Ooh! Splash Art! I love your use of reds Dragon!
It’s my specialty.
*grin*
Oh, this is nothing. You should see her use of charcoal.
thats one fking big spoon!
As I learned in the US Military…”Improvise and Compromise….Adapt.” Use it as a spork, when you’re through eating, use it against your enemy,,,, or as a back scratcher!
WOW! I think I’m starting to get used to this! Soon be time to change my handle. Comments???? Someone help lead me?
Hmm….
Participate in a few pun-runs and we’ll talk.
That looks like a 100 yen store either in okinawa or mainland japan. either way I’m used to seeing that kinda stuff now.
You are correct. That is Japanese writing on the bottom right hand corner.
Thanks DW! i’ll keep watchin to learn THE WAY, then start to emerge from my cacoon. But i’m still going to pat myself on the back for the Military comment. *pats but misses*
Alright, Dragonwriter, you are my mentor; that is if you’re willing and promise to help keep me away from the Troll cage….(Whamshow or no Whamshow!)
K?
K.
So…for starters. You must master the art of nesting!
N-E-S-T-I-….Wait, still looking it up. I’ll catch-up (or mutard) soon!
Thanks again Dragonwriter!
“Reply to this Comment” is your friend.
I’ll take that with a spork full of sugar! *Apprication flowing*
Looking back,, Now I see this WAY! -N-G!!!!
I would recommend Firefox as a default browser; it has a built-in spellcheck (into which the word “spellcheck” has not been added among others; no dictionary is complete). It helps for all communications, no matter how masterful one’s spelling (special cases excluded) … it would have red-flagged, for example, “Appriciation.” Wishing to you, smooth sailing ahead.
*Getting closer to the Troll cage*
*Shines beacon to the sky*
“DRAGONWRITER”
Hey, we all had to prove ourselves, N&N. Your time is NOW. We’ve given you the tools…it is up to you to use them.
The spoon tool looks forked to me.
that it is
*Kracks knuckles*
* Attempts to take out ‘Nervous’ from name*
!Time to dive in head first! Thanks for the start-ups!
*Frames dragonwriter and Medica on wall in behind my computer for inspiration!*
Next challenge – personalize an avatar. But that’s for the next class. One must learn to crawl before attempting to walk.
Funny, was just fumbling the keys to find out how, but I think I’ll wait for when I break my cacoon and earn my new name.
*puts Judy on Wall o’ Inspiration!*
It’s not all that hard to do, but if you have questions, just ask!
Quote Simpsons:
“You call THAT a knife? THIS is a knife!!”
“Its a Spoon…”
“Damn! You played ‘Spoony – Knifey’ before!”
FORK FTW
No, I think the concensus was that it is a “Spork”. Believed to have been used on the first shows of Star Trek:/
Wow… I knew my dad watched Star Trek, but I had no idea it was part of my roots!
Hey now, if that means what I think it does, I watched the very first up to almost all of that era……So I have to face it, I AM GETTING OLD! my 18 year old daughter has never seen Capt. Kirk (before Boston “FATTY” Legal). I have never subjected any of my four children to it.
Seems like a real drag if you ask me.
i think there was some friction between the two.
No, I think the census has claimed it to be a Spork. they were widely used on the first runs of Star Trek:/
*apologizes for the repeat (comp. probs.)*
But if you ask me, if they “dragged” them on the floor, it my8 cause a rupture in the hull, therefore causing a vacuum removing everthing from the Ship, and we wouldn’t even be talking about Sporks now:)
*confessing not a Trekie!*
Ryannon, on a side note, check out Receipt Fail, January 17, 7:13 through 9:45 PM (if you haven’t already) ((I took a pretty bad hit for you on my first fail!))
Umm yeah okay.
The sad thing is… there’s a whole bunch of them.
Damn that spoon failed!
Stupid ass spoon.
SPORK!!!! (Edmond Dantes Not Remember?)
♪ Here we go, Steelers, here we go…..Pittsburgh’s going to the Super Bowl!♪
Hey, somebody had to say it.
and somewhere in the world, it says “a fork” and has a spoon
FORPOON!
ダイソーなにやってんだw
Domo, I think.
Yep, Daiso, in Kagoshima-ken (Kyushu).
Fake fail imo, they could have taken spoon out and fork in.
Fake fail replies take the fun out of nesting:(
Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That’s impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Maybe now instead of spooning, people will start forking.
i hate you idiots
Momma?!?!?!
Then why come here?
spOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOn!
this shoud go to photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com…
mega-fake !!!!
Don’t think so, ALL of the forks hanging up advertise “THE SPOON” on the package!
How it can be spoon?
There was a christmas tree in the Wii video. I think the Wii was new.
There is no god ;(~
The Daiso is the best store. Everything unmarked: 105 yen. And yes, engrish abounds.
wow, that is an epic FAIL! lmao >XD
where was this taken? lol
individually packaged tableware fail
there is no spoon
