It’s very simple. At least in the US, teachers typically use colored pens to correct spelling and grammar on assignments. Many use red pens. Loz, who abhors bad grammar/spelling, also uses a red pen to correct people, but hers is filled with troll blood.
I read once that a school, in an attempt to be more student-friendly/centric decided that red was too harsh/threatening a color and made the students feel bad, so they forced the teachers to do all their corrections in purple pen, which was more “soothing”.
*flustered* But I didn’t prepare a speech, or anything! This is so unexpected! Uh, first off, I’d like to thank the academy…the Milford military academy… *rambles on in this vein for 15 minutes*
Sometimes, and I say sometimes failblog fails me. The rest of the time I fail myself.
*sigh*
I put a “/” and a “>” after that “i.” It better not all be in italics or…or, I will fail again!
*I hope, I hope, I hope it all comes out as I envisioned it.^*
He was planning to buy a small island off the coast of Donegal (Ireland) a few months ago. I don’t know what came of that, but if he does go through with it I’m out of here!
(clickie)
(“France or Europe or NATO”?!)
Aww Loz, you caught me! I was just pretending to be a typical geographically inept American. I know full well that France is IN Europe and a Member State of NATO and all that. I just don’t know who the Mayor of France, the Governor of Europe, or the PresidentPrime Minister King or Queen of NATO are!
HI! This is Amber! I didn’t want it known, but I’m SKWERLLY BOB’s Daughter and I just SCREWED UP and posted my Comment to Loz Using my Dad’s Name.
He got up from the computer and left the house and I snagged it without logging him off and and posted without looking. So don’t go and scream at him for posting that! OK?…. Now I’ve got to tell him I did this, THRILL!
Oh wow! Congratulations on your site! If I think of anything I’ll let you know.
I just went browsing the stats and found that my average speed for typing ‘I’ is slower than my average for typing ‘inherited’. Am confuzzled.
Took the test. 27.1 WPM. Considering that I have never taken Typing 101 and only use two fingers, and no mistakes, and I am drinking tonight, I think that’s pretty good.
CWR has nailed it. (Bernard Madoff did Creationist Finance = lying and swindling)
Does anyone know (assuming this is real) where this place is & what’s the deal?
Anyway, it’s good of you two taking turns keeping my wife “company” while I’m off on my concept nailing binges. I mean it’s good you’re not squabbling over your timeshare.
HAHA I can just picture the construction workers nearing the end of the job, just realizing that the ends didn’t meet up and they just stand there and go, “woops,” and walk away…?!!! ha. awesome!
that reminds me of the old joke: engineers plan a train line from the west to the east coast. The one in charge of the money is still not sure if the budget will alow for one track with waiting bays or two parallel tracks, much more efficient, but also more expensive, of course. The engineers then decide: Well, let’s start building, one team from the west and the other from the east. If they meet, it will be one track. If not, then it shall be two tracks.
I came across a sidewalk like this once, my Guide Dog didn’t know what the hell to do. I think it was the most perplexing situation she has ever been in. Only thing I could dos was turn around and go back and cross the street. She wold not walk across that little bit of grass to get back on.
De ja vu?
yep. the old days of Failblog.
‘Twas a slightly different one (clickie)
I see.
What’s the fail here? It’s called a sidewalk, right? and you have to walk one step to the side, right?
I never thought of it that way…I suppose you are correct….WIN for being technically correct?
Ah, the best kind of correct!
The best kind of erect?
Up.
And hard as, um, a sidewalk?
a pole?
A fat, dancing pole in underwear?
Nekked pole dancing is the only way to go, well after you go down the sidewalk to get to the nekked pole.
This isn’t a fail! You people just don’t understand anything
about design.
double post fail
Maybe some people walk like that…
talk about where the side walk ends…..XD
That is just a dimensional rift
It’s a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.
Blue pill, GIVE ME THE BLUE PILL!
*boioioioioioing* Erection WIN
*doesn’t have a penis*
doesnt matter
*Hands Loz blue pill*
Try this, it’s from a fresh shipment. I know a guy who knows a guy…
*wink*
Careful Loz, that blue pill will *apparently* give you a penis.
No I don’t know what’s up with my weird emphasis.
C’mon, let her experiment. I know she must be curious how the “other half” lives.
What, getting paid more and the like?
definately
…..maybe
*red pen twitches*
Yeah I wish body parts were detachable, I’d have so much fun with a penis.
It gets hard sometimes…..having a penis and all.
If you’re tired of it, I’d be willing to look after it for you.
It’s not that I’m tired of it, it…it’s just that I feel that I let him down sometimes.
You go out, get drunk and lose him, don’t you?
Have you checked under the sofa cushions?
And it ends up on some stock broker’s back.
I thought Mookie was a lawyer?
…and with a lawyer your penis is in safe hands???
She’d argue the pen is safer than the sword.
Are you in good hands?
German do-gooder?
More like the penis is safer then the sword.
I speck she’ll keep it in her briefs.
Geesh. Nesting FAIL. Need coffee.
Try more blue pills…
Or pink ones, they’re always a laugh!
Nooooo Loz nooo. The blue pill is a suppository. (Couldn’t find the link, but a friend has a web comic on it)
Not my blue pills! Or was that the purple ones?
Erm…
*quietly backs out of the door*
*noisily backs one out*
*slap-kicks back out*
*digs in purse for bandana, hook and eye patch*
AmberRRRRRRRRRRRR
*loads up red pen*
It’s spelled déjà vu, ok? Now don’t do it again.
Consider my wrists slapped.
Is that a demand?
Sounds like it comes with a reprimand.
Let me give you a hand.
What do you have planned?
I’m playing the kazoo in a band!
That’s not the tune I was hoping she’d land.
Maybe you should take a stand.
If I could stand, that would be grand!
C’mon Amber, take command!
Red pen? Please explain the above reference.
It’s very simple. At least in the US, teachers typically use colored pens to correct spelling and grammar on assignments. Many use red pens. Loz, who abhors bad grammar/spelling, also uses a red pen to correct people, but hers is filled with troll blood.
(I think the red pen is a global teacher-thang.)
I read once that a school, in an attempt to be more student-friendly/centric decided that red was too harsh/threatening a color and made the students feel bad, so they forced the teachers to do all their corrections in purple pen, which was more “soothing”.
Invisible ink would be even more soothing.
Ya red pen is a global I just thought it may have had an alternate meaning.
It’s not just troll blood in that pen of hers, I’m fairly certain it contains a bit of my blood too!
now you dont have to walk into the pole every time, epic win!
I still do though.
What? It’s fun.
Like this? (clicky)
Darn those sneaky poles!
(This is in no way meant to malign the Polish people. I love the Polish people. They are excellent indeed.)
You were going to continue, “with barbeque sauce.” Weren’t you? It’s okay.
*scootch*
*Scotch*??? Definitely go well with Scotch… and a good cigar.
Would love one thankyou.
*sip, sip, pass-out*
*takes shoes off and covers with blanket*
That’s so sweet you made a tent for your shoes?
That’s not the shoes holding up the blanket!
.
*drifts off…* ‘night… *zzzz…*
*shys away from the blanket*
.
*constructs a shelter from shoes to keep DrB safe from vandalism*
*super scootch*
Photoshop Fai!
Shel Silverstein WIN!
OK…. I swear I’m not a troll, but…. Haven’t we seen this before? And no, not on the Vote page.
Just…umm…excuse me a sec…
.
*checks to see if she’s a troll*
*finds tons of evidence that Mookie’s no troll*
We’ve definitely had a very similar one. Not sure if they’re the same photo though.
*coughwasn’tcheckingthefailscough*
OK, I was wrong. Here is the previous fail (same name, though). And Dr. B, when you’re doing a medical exam, the latex belongs on your hands.
Happy you knew the path I was taking.
Sorry for misunderstanding!
*checks under his standing*
*checks DrB’s standing. SQUEEZE!*
*DrB’s standing*
The stirrups and speculum gave it away.
I thought the head torch was the dead give away.
Gives new meaning to “spelunking.”
With his head on fire, yet. My son the doctor.
And his eyes too bloody to see?
I personally don’t think that doctors should wear stirrups while examining women – it’s demeaning. Sorry, I was thinking of spurs.
It’s okay, I’m not a doctor. And I think you accidenty your present progressive.
Sorry, can’t hear you, still thinking of spurs.
This is no time for football.
There’s always time for football. The world stops for football.
Football just stopped my world…
*ponders spurs*
YEEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWW!!!
*ponders puttin’ the spurs to the wife*
Ladyhawke
Yes, of course.
.
.

There, there. Shhh.
Phew…for a sec I was thinking the world was over Michelle Pfeiffer.
I never know what to say in these situations. But I would have sex with Michelle Pfeiffer until loose change came out of her ears.
Told you I don’t know what to say in these situations – socially maladroit, innit?
Thank you for vending the comment, though. It’s left lots of tokens lying around for consideration.
Man, if I spooged change I would never have to work again. Or would wanking become tedious? Nah.
Yea. That was a good choice… very clear and succinct. “loose change” was an odd choice, but artistic.
*hands CWR gold star sticker for artistic value*
*flustered* But I didn’t prepare a speech, or anything! This is so unexpected! Uh, first off, I’d like to thank the academy…the Milford military academy… *rambles on in this vein for 15 minutes*
I like to think he used ‘loose change’ as a reference to the documentary of the same name. Subliminal messages and all.
Wow, apparently I’m open to interpretation.
For the drunk
LoL, if the drunk people walk into that lamppost.
*boink*
What have you against drunk people =( ?
they’re drunk, that is
Shouldn’t you just have written FTD?
Walk, walk, walk, BONG! Stagger right, walk, walk, walk. . .
Getting around the block takes an hour, and there you have it – drunk clock!
The pole is there for the drunk to hold on to and swing right and get on the correct path.
Sometimes, and I say sometimes failblog fails me. The rest of the time I fail myself.
*sigh*
I put a “/” and a “>” after that “i.” It better not all be in italics or…or, I will fail again!
*I hope, I hope, I hope it all comes out as I envisioned it.^*
I guess I am still doing something wrong.
*double sigh*
Son of bit**! Either my avatar doesn’t show up, or it puts my other name in w/o me re-typing it.
Cute paths. They always pass each other on the left.
Must be in Britain.
I’d say Australia, judging by the colour of that grass.
Perhaps we should take a pole on that.
Why is everyone always belittling the Poles?
You’re right. Perhaps my moral compass is off a touch.
Now you’re belittling the magnetic Polish…
Yeah. A little manicure and Polish never hurt anyone.
I dunno, I heard at the schoolyard that it’ll turn ya gay. Yep. Uh, if you’re a dude, that is.
Nope, works for girls too. Unless I’m an anomaly.
I heard shagging a chick’ll do that too.
Turned me into a lesbian…man.
Anna Nomaly would make a cool Screen Name!
*ducks & rolls away*
Must be in Japan.
Or India.
Definitely not UK. Perhaps it’s Uzbekistan?
UzbeKistan?
Or perhaps Turkmenistan?
This is clearly Kazahkistani grass.
Kazahkstan exports grass…
And Poppies! Poppies! Poppies!
I hear their potassiuim is great, compared to other nations potassium..
Kazakhstan’s major exports are potassium, apples, and young boys to Michael Jackson’s ranch.
x-ranch….don’t you read the news?
Yeah, doesn’t he now have a nice little dungeon in France or Europe or NATO of something?
He was planning to buy a small island off the coast of Donegal (Ireland) a few months ago. I don’t know what came of that, but if he does go through with it I’m out of here!
(clickie)
(“France or Europe or NATO”?!)
Aww Loz, you caught me! I was just pretending to be a typical geographically inept American. I know full well that France is IN Europe and a Member State of NATO and all that. I just don’t know who the Mayor of France, the Governor of Europe, or the
PresidentPrime MinisterKing or Queen of NATO are!HI! This is Amber! I didn’t want it known, but I’m SKWERLLY BOB’s Daughter and I just SCREWED UP and posted my Comment to Loz Using my Dad’s Name.

I am actually confused here.
Let me get this straight. Amber = Skwerlly Bob’s daughter? Or is Amber another one of Skwerlly’s multiple personalites?
It’s just that Skwerlly’s multiple personalities are each housed in their own seperate individual bodies…
sure look like i saw it before
Maybe you walked on it one time!
56.8…3 errors.
5…4 erpors doh!
That ’stool promised me a banana if I got over 50.
Here’s an orange for your effort.
*hands orange*
I guess I held it too long, look whats it’s done to my hands!
Orange you glad that’s not a banana?
I’d feel much better if I wasn’t surrounded by all these fruit loops.
*is blue he missed the orange*
*blushes*
don’t take it! its a potatoe disguised as an orange!
Was that meant to sound unattractive?
Dan Quayle’s potatoe is always unattractive.
No bananas for you if you keep getting toadstool and goomba mixed up. This is classic Mario terminology people!
Hey, I called you a toadstool before. Not him. He originally called you a mushroom Jon. 57.8 No errors BTW.
Getting better! Any suggestions for the site? It is a work in progress and I am always looking for improvements!
Oh wow! Congratulations on your site! If I think of anything I’ll let you know.
I just went browsing the stats and found that my average speed for typing ‘I’ is slower than my average for typing ‘inherited’. Am confuzzled.
eh… tried switching to dvorak and typing… 28 wpm… now I am afraid to try with a qwerty board.
*does a Slavonic Dance*
*dances the qwerty*
Weeee! I tried your site, I am miserable now!
YOU SUCK!
Actually, I suck, (at typing) with a score of 17!
Practice Makes Perfect!!! …or at least improvement. I guess there is no definition of ‘perfect’ for typing
I suppose if you don’t get any wrong words, that could be considered perfect.
Practise does indeed make perfect. On my first attempt I left the caps lock on and got all my words wrong
???
4. Profit
Took the test. 27.1 WPM. Considering that I have never taken Typing 101 and only use two fingers, and no mistakes, and I am drinking tonight, I think that’s pretty good.
*I am good with those two fingers, eh?*
Mmm?
Hehe, I love how those corners match-up so precisely.
Apparently not all roads lead to rome.
No, some lead to FAIL!
Apparently some roads need to roam.
Follow the path, To failure.
Great picture. What a mistery !
http://www.agoravox.fr/article.php3?id_article=52281
What a speeling !
It’s that dirty pole’s fault. Also this strikes me as a bit of a lawn-watering fail as well.
http://www.lowbrowsophisticate.com/category/jack-grabber
Hey, leave that pole alone!
This looks more like winter road salt damage to me.
When creation science begets creation engineering.
CWR has nailed it. (Bernard Madoff did Creationist Finance = lying and swindling)
Does anyone know (assuming this is real) where this place is & what’s the deal?
Please don’t tell my wife.
Nah, your wife and I are never in a position to talk.
Well, she told me you left her with little choice.
I meant please don’t tell her that I’ve nailed…anything.
Anyway, it’s good of you two taking turns keeping my wife “company” while I’m off on my concept nailing binges. I mean it’s good you’re not squabbling over your timeshare.
Not fail at all, obviously you use the pole to swing yourself to the next patch of sidewalk.
In response to your name: it’s on your head.
I know, I know, I’m excelling myself on the humour front.
No, it’s that thing that he grabs with his thumb and forefinger ever so gently when he goes wee-wee.
When you put it that way, it seems so much more fun!
*sings*
Where the sideway ends, the pole begins.
I used to shop at Sideway.
So THIS is where the sidewalk ends
The pole is the final boss…
Shhhhhh!
You’ve leaked the location!
Next thing to go will the the coordinates of the road to nowhere!
HAHA I can just picture the construction workers nearing the end of the job, just realizing that the ends didn’t meet up and they just stand there and go, “woops,” and walk away…?!!! ha. awesome!
Jack called, he said he wants his $1.25 back. (anyone?)
::high five::
Pole dancing lessons for bow-legged street walkers?
You offering?
Déjà vue celle-là…
Already posted ! (shot from another angle…)
that reminds me of the old joke: engineers plan a train line from the west to the east coast. The one in charge of the money is still not sure if the budget will alow for one track with waiting bays or two parallel tracks, much more efficient, but also more expensive, of course. The engineers then decide: Well, let’s start building, one team from the west and the other from the east. If they meet, it will be one track. If not, then it shall be two tracks.
Walk the path; Of fail.
That’s a sidewalk built over a fault line in California. Over time the two sides diverged causing the misalignment.
I like your thinking, Kelvin.
Isn’t this really more of a photoshopping fail?
‘Tis a fake.
It’s an obvious and a very bad one Photoshop fake
I came across a sidewalk like this once, my Guide Dog didn’t know what the hell to do. I think it was the most perplexing situation she has ever been in. Only thing I could dos was turn around and go back and cross the street. She wold not walk across that little bit of grass to get back on.
fail actually
This is EXACTLY how they build roads and sidewalks here is Surrey, British Columbia, Canada! Complete incompetence!!
Still walkable on the grass. But placing the side walks is over
what the heck?
obviously shopped
So this is where the sidewalk ends. Someone tell Shel Silverstein.
It’s probably on a fault line. Maybe that ruined the fail in it.
comment names above me are username and password for the next url
Bob+Skele
epic fail.
test
that has to be shopped…
no way one can fail so badly…
now THIS is ART!
extreme?
Follow the yellow brick- oh.
Surely that’s photoshopped…. cloned. The gutter… on the road it disappears. And why is there grass on the road? XD
WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS
