That image actually is not what you think it is. The KKK stole it from the Catholics, namely Spanish Catholics, who wear robes like that during Holy Week parades. They don’t always have crosses on them and come in more than one color. It’s just the only setting we’ve seen them in on this side of the pond.
O Hammykins, this poem’s for you.
I hope you like the rhyming too:
One time I saw a little skwerl,
Who jumped right down into the swirl
Of, lo, the gruesome FailBOG goo,
And ne’er again saw him – boohoo!
Disclaimer: No skwerls were harmed in the making of this poem, nor would I ever encourage such a terrible thing.
It’s a spanish/portuguese priest.
KKK “stolen” the costume from european priests and removed the ribbon with the crucifix symbol.
So if the ribbon with the crucifix symbol is there, the costume is perfectly legal as it is a sign of cristianity (some say it represents the holy ghost).
Nah. Theirs is “We aim to negotiate our way to freedom and recognition of the 2nd Amendment by only giving up a little freedom each time.”
I prefer JPFO & GOA.
LibertyBelles(dot org) aren’t bad either.
The Swaztica was a religious symbol also. Besides, who the hell would tattoo a burning priest on their arm? …I take that back, I know people that would.
The Swaztica is from ancient Sandscrit, and means “well being.” It was used as a symbol of many groups, religions, etc. including Christians of the Middle Ages. Only since Nazi Germany has the symbol stood for evil. It’s a shame; waste of a good symbol.
Whatever. Who wants a priest wreathed in flames as a tattoo, temporary or not? I still think the thing looks creepy. Incidentally, considering that the KKK despised catholics I find it strange that they ripped off catholic clothing.
Yes, let’s not confuse “civil rights” with “constitutional rights”. However, since you come from the thing we call England, perhaps you don’t have constitutional rights there.
Here in the (e)states we have what we call “Freedom of Speech”. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?
To clarify further, Freedom of Speech does not include that which incites acts of violence, hate crimes specifically.
One could talk ad nauseam about how they hate one group or another with out fear of legal repercussions. Once one starts talking about killing those they hate, or other acts of violence is where they get into hot water.
I completely disagree. I learn SO MUCH about the world on the Discovery Channel and the Food Network. TV can be a great learning tool, when applied correctly.
She’s from around here too. Has an interesting back story, raised her siblings. What I want to see is the size of the warehouse that is used to store all of that color coordinated stuff. It must be awe inspiring.
Now be honest Dragon. You redo your entire decor for every gathering. Don’t you. Admit it.
Sorry, just got home from a friend’s coming-home-from-the-Ukraine party, I’m a bit crass from the shots. Yes, I dislike the idea of truffles made of a can of store-bought chocolate frosting…plus they look evil. The video is the icing on the catbox:)
And Georgia and Mississippi and South Carolina. Historically, though, when the Klan was at its height the largest concentration was in northern Indiana and southern Michigan.
I’m from SC but currently live in AL. It is ignorant to assume everyone from The South is racist. You’d be surprised how much class people have here. It’s a welcome break from the general rudeness of people I have seen in the North and in California.
Myself, I’m a Southerner who was, unfortunately, born and still lives in the North.
But I’m with you all the way The South is the REAL America.
Unfortunately, people don’t know their history, and – as so frequently happens – it tends to be rewritten by the victors following a war.
I guess I should have said the BETTER America, closer to the intent of the people who founded the nation originally.
And that has nothing to do with slavery, before someone insinuates that into the discussion, as it were, if you will.
I disagree. I was born in New York, moved to Michigan, then to North Carolina, where I lived for three years. The only discriminatory hate I felt and witnessed was in the south. Of course, that’s not to say it’s the <b?only place where discrimination takes place; I’m just speaking from my own experience. In NC, my family was discriminated against simply because we were from the north! They said <b?I had an accent, when, really, it seems they did, and they judged us thoroughly. African-Americans, in NC, were more accepted than Caucasians! To put it more eloquently: They were hatin’ because I was the northern white girl.
Also, just as a side note: People have always been nicer in the north, from my perspective. Southern class, my ass. Some people just aren’t being raised correctly anymore.
Wonder how many of these are imported each year…All the rage in the elementary schools
And have to agree with you Clemson, I mean come on, just look at parts
of Idaho and Oregon.
Gee, I guess things have changed a LOT in the 10 years since I worked in Atlanta. I certainly did meet quite a number of very racist people there. Not that everyone was, of course, but many. And to be fair, most of the people I met (of every race) were nice on a one-to-one basis.
As far as California goes, most everyone I meet here is nice, too.
It still is a delightful place. Unfortunately, we are nearly bankrupt thanks to the Govenator. I will say though, that here in Orange County, we see plenty of still-got-the-dealership-plate new cars. I’ve been taking a mental tally; most of them are BMW’s.
A lot of racist people are very nice otherwise. They just have some bizarre, ugly ideas, usually inherited from their parents. Just because someone is racist doesn’t mean they have no life or personality beyond hating a certain group of people.
Did you ever see South Pacific? There is a great song that is the crux of the whole non-romantic plot. The title escapes me at the moment and I am too lazy to go look at the record, but it says how we must be very carefully taught to hate.
OK then, ClemsonTiger. I’m assuming you went to (or are still attending) Clemson University, a fine institution. I’d also assume you ate in the “dining hall” of some kind. So here’s the question. Did the students sit in the dining hall according to race? You know, the blacks sat together and the whites sat together? I don’t mean all, just across the board?
I shall never be able to look at you the same again.
Okay I admit that I have no idea what a “New York Minute” is and I only vaguely remember the Olsen twins as a toddler on some old sitcom that a niece wathed.
Well dang I just gotta tell y’all something. Not all Hoosiers, are hicks, rednecks, etc. Some of us ARE dang proud to be rednecks though. Plus bein a redneck doesn’t necessarily make you a narrow-minded bigot or complete idiot. Some of us just don’t much care for the cities, we prefer our space and simplicity. Gimme 30 acres to bang around on of my own, keep your subdivisions and suburbs. There are racists everywhere, and of every color, in every state. So why bag on one state? Why not California? There are so many more people there, there are probably more racists there than any other state just due to population. Leave my state alone.
I went to high school and college in Indiana. Nice place and nice people. I was there a couple years ago and was struck by the beauty and peacefulness of it. I approached people looking for directions and they were more than willing to give me a few minutes. Nice.
I didn’t notice people here bagging Indiana, per se. Just historical references really.
Growing up is St. Louis “hoosier” was a derogatory term that was synonymous with trailer-trash. They even went so far (a few of them) to alter it slightly for those who aspired to get away from said redneck roots but somehow failed. We called them (spelled phonetically) “hoosh-wah”. But that was in St. Louis. No one here in Chicago gets it.
I would also venture to guess that more than half of the folks who use the term in a negative way (in St. Louis) are aware of how it might pertain to Indiana.
IIRC, a previous governor of Indiana was a Grand Dragon of the KKK.
*lives in Indiana. Has an office mate who supports the KKK–might even be a member–and is also Catholic. Yes, this is odd. Yes, I’m not White, but can pass, he hasn’t figured that out despite SO MANY clues. Also doesn’t know that I’m one of the godless folks (atheist) he’s certain is plotting to take over the world and eat babies. Or something like that.
Since it’s doubtful that you’ve ever actually BEEN to Alabama, we would love to show you how things are done here. That is, if you can pull your head out of your ass long enough to find it.
That’s all it took to explode your head? (Cheap thrills – yay!) Listen, English-asian young person. I like you! You’ve got more going for you than most people I meet.
Is it my fault the I think outside the box? (Box? There’s a box?) Or that I know the difference between an m dash and an n dash?
Well, it probably is my fault. Who else could I blame? Will they assume the blame? I doubt it. Bastards!
As well they should be.
I do find it remarkably coincidental, however, that there was a dragon right there FOOMing that foul being in the sheet.
Sometimes ya just gotta wonder…
OK, this has to be typed. My karma ran over your dogma and now you owe me for a front-end alignment. And keep your next one on a leash – and stay off my lawn!
Just wait ’til they have you lying on the floor in a seeming epileptic explosion of garbled expletives as you try desperately to flaunt gravity in a bold yet plaintive manner.
THEN you’ll be reading these “epic fail” posts – endlessly, even in your sleep.
Yeah, I kind of forgot Ku Klux Klans’ trademark hat and originally assumed it was a Crusader…that got me all ‘wtf has this got to do with temporary tatoos?”
I think they are Penitents, at least the Spanish word sounded mostly like tat to me. I saw an Easter parade of them in Spain. Little figurines of them were for sale everywhere and they came in different colors. I think those are the flames of Purgatory. I know it is hard to believe, but there are a lot of people who have no idea who the KKK are and really don’t care.
The real question is, what is up with the lizard with a hand on its tail? Is that a bungled M. C. Escher reference?
The few posts about the Spanish/Portuguese are indeed correct. It’s often the case that something reviled like that actually has a fairly innocent past. Those hoods were used in religious processions for centuries before there was ever a KKK.
It’s no different with Nazis and the swastika. The swastik was used as a symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism for quite a few thousand years before there was ever a Hitler or Nazi movement. It predates even the existence of Judaism. But Hitler took the symbol and the name (which means something along the lines of “the way things should be”), and rotated it 45 degrees and removed the circles from the spaces and it has since been remembered only in the context of Nazi Germany and the holocaust.
yes, and if you notice the fact that the pricetag is in euros, it makes even more sense, considering that spain and portugul are in europe, so their priest’s decorum would be more widely known in europe.
actually, no, Hitler took the symbol from japan. There are Japanese drawings of the swastika that I myself have seen in the Art institute of Chicago. Yes it is similar to many different symbols (also a native American symbol that is a “backwards swastika” that was displayed on the mitchell corn house in 1919 I believe, it may have been 1929). The swastika is its own thing, and geometric shapes like it, and many others, are very VERY old.
Hi, Ultimadonut.
I suspect your comment was for Hammykins. There is a reply to this comment button on the corner of the comment box. Click on it to reply to a comment, like I’m doing to yours.
I don’t know if anyone mentioned this, but these tattoos may be from south America. During mardi gras, as well as some other celebrations, south American priests dress like a ghost with vestments on, so its actually not really a “fail” because to them its normal to do that.
actually the fail is supposedly the tatoo of the “KKK” but really it is a tatoo of someone celebrating Semana Santa, basicly a spanish easter. KKK copied of of them
obviously like your web-site however you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very troublesome to tell the reality on the other hand I will surely come again again.
FIRST!
Woot I win a cookie!
“First” gets nothing but ridicule.
Of course the guy on the package is white.
You know the real problem with “First” is that it causes everybody to forget that there’s a KKK tattoo up there
You won a shame
You won the game
That image actually is not what you think it is. The KKK stole it from the Catholics, namely Spanish Catholics, who wear robes like that during Holy Week parades. They don’t always have crosses on them and come in more than one color. It’s just the only setting we’ve seen them in on this side of the pond.
Your ruining our racist bashing fun! How dare you! YOU MUST BE A NAZI!
That’s not what you think it is. The KKK stole that robe-and-hood motif from the garb that Spanish Catholics wear during Holy Week.
The -flames- make it seem a lot more like KKK than Catholic, you have to admit.
damn! I JUST LOST THE GAME! >.<
uck i cant be bothered to explain…. but we’re all playin! muahhahaaaa
>_< dammit i lost the game
I lost the game because of you…
I LOST THE GAME!
Technically, no.
argh! lost the game
i lost the game…
“You just lost the game”
stop rhyming
the only way to win the game is to die on your birthday without thinking about the game.. damn i just lost..
youve won a taze
you’ve won a shameful taze.
I’m afraid the act of tazing has now been abolished, under the universally recognized “Failblog Troll Pact”.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! why is that?
Tazing became really annoying and unwitty after a while.
how about barfing? can we ralph all over the trolls?
its not recommended but if you feel it will work, go ahead
true. anyone seen tazing after this day on will be known as a troll.
Lets Taze him!
*Looks around*
“Guys, what did I miss?”
True…plus, it was just getting too expensive to keep replacing all the tazers.
It encorauged trolls..
“For the lulz”

KKK Tatoo -> 1 Pound
Fun with blacks -> priceless
It’s not a KKK tattoo.
It’s a spanish/portuguese priest.
KKK “stolen” the costume from european priests and removed the ribbon with the crucifix symbol.
So if the ribbon with the crucifix symbol is there, the costume is perfectly legal as it is a sign of cristianity (some say it represents the holy ghost).
So, I’m sorry to tell you, but no fail here
More here (if you understand german):
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semana_Santa
No it is not, it IS IS IS a KKK slime.
Priests aren’t shown surrounded by fire.
Well, maybe not YOUR priest…
And the vicar does NOT like roasted potatoes.
Besides, that Klansman just got FOOmed by that dragon.
Question: does an errantly lower case “m” require a bukkit?
Better safe than sorry.
*passes bukkit*
*KERSPLORTCH*
Meh.
You misspelled “meh”.
Meh.
lower case dammit!
BTW, loved your Nokia reply. Funny of the day!
We aim to please.
Is that the NRA slogan?
I’m a babbler, your see? READYAIMFIRE!
Nah. Theirs is “We aim to negotiate our way to freedom and recognition of the 2nd Amendment by only giving up a little freedom each time.”
I prefer JPFO & GOA.
LibertyBelles(dot org) aren’t bad either.
Aja, I have a cunning plan!
Would that be the plan where you stick two pencils up your nose and answer ‘wibble’ to every question?
*has two pencil up nose and handkerchief on head*
Yes.
Oh, and have this wooden duck, in case you are caught in a pond.
Dammit, my drinky ran out. So long then.
Well dress me as a boy and call me Bob!
Batteries included?
Hang on… I can’t hear you over the buzzing!
Tally ho!
Can’t hear you, still thinking of spurs…
lmfao the vicar who fell on a potato which caused it to go up his ass XD
I swear that hardly ever happens…
It happens all the time where I live. You should see how they walk!
Is the Minister of Funny Walks aware? *minister, vicar – unintentional correllateion*
Artistic license possibly. It is a priest, not a KKK. You could say someone is burning with passion for their faith.
The Swaztica was a religious symbol also. Besides, who the hell would tattoo a burning priest on their arm? …I take that back, I know people that would.
The Swaztica is from ancient Sandscrit, and means “well being.” It was used as a symbol of many groups, religions, etc. including Christians of the Middle Ages. Only since Nazi Germany has the symbol stood for evil. It’s a shame; waste of a good symbol.
Whatever. Who wants a priest wreathed in flames as a tattoo, temporary or not? I still think the thing looks creepy. Incidentally, considering that the KKK despised catholics I find it strange that they ripped off catholic clothing.
You try telling that to a group who only hate others because they are different in some way or another.
Hey BFF. I’m reminded of something that a wise man once told me:
“It’s us against them. The only problem I have is telling where us leaves off and it becomes them.”
Are you trying to apply LOGIC to a group of hate-mongers?!?
(OT) Glad to read your duck turned out great!
Well, every cloud has a silver lining!
No, I just find it ironic that they’d emulate a group they “hate.”
lol, the flames would make you look “hard” the preist would make you look like a “hard” catholic…. therefore a paradox xD
Sanskrit.
Fail – the sanskrit sawastika is the mirror image of the Nazi one.
Bahaha we all know people like that…
I DARE you to dress up as a portuguese/spanish priest for halloween next year!
As you wish
As you were
As I want you to be…
As a friend
As a friend
This smells like incense.
and peppermints.
Who cares, what games we choose?
Little to win, and nothing to lose.
Mmm… I love strawberries. Alarm clocks – not so much.
Do you not know there is a rule against strawberry alarm clocks? Duh.
and teen spirit
plz plz plz live in harlem
Please.. Leave us to laugh in our lack of knowledge…
It makes us happy..
lmaoo…
why on earth would you want a tattoo of a spanish priest anyway, the pack isnt even sold in spain
How would it be “illegal” to put KKK on a temporary tattoo? They have this thing called free expression, not sure if you’ve heard of it.
There are also these things called “ethics” and “civil rights”. I don’t know if you’ve heard of those things either.
Yes, let’s not confuse “civil rights” with “constitutional rights”. However, since you come from the thing we call England, perhaps you don’t have constitutional rights there.
Here in the (e)states we have what we call “Freedom of Speech”. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?
Freedom of Speech does not include hate. Freedom of speech does not
negate our preambles statement “ensure domestic tranquility”
It simply means if you want to say our government sucks, you’re not going
to jail for it.
But if you wanna burn a cross on some dudes lawn because he’s jewish…
you’re going to jail for a very long time.
To clarify further, Freedom of Speech does not include that which incites acts of violence, hate crimes specifically.
One could talk ad nauseam about how they hate one group or another with out fear of legal repercussions. Once one starts talking about killing those they hate, or other acts of violence is where they get into hot water.
I watch waaaaay too much tv.
Incitement to hatred and uncivil acts. This is bad behavior. Rational discussion of facts, this is good.
And, yes. If you watch any TV, it is way too much TV.
I completely disagree. I learn SO MUCH about the world on the Discovery Channel and the Food Network. TV can be a great learning tool, when applied correctly.
Ah, Sandra Lee.
Ok, I think she actually makes me stupider. She’s not allowed in my house. :p
She’s from around here too. Has an interesting back story, raised her siblings. What I want to see is the size of the warehouse that is used to store all of that color coordinated stuff. It must be awe inspiring.
Now be honest Dragon. You redo your entire decor for every gathering. Don’t you. Admit it.
You bite that wily tongue of yours, coyote! My decor is timeless and goes with everything. :p
Hey, you guys like cat turds? Try Sandra’s truffle recipe! Clicky!
So you can paint a picture with words as well. I like truffles no end…until now.
You couldn’t have just said that you dislike her recipe?
Sorry, just got home from a friend’s coming-home-from-the-Ukraine party, I’m a bit crass from the shots. Yes, I dislike the idea of truffles made of a can of store-bought chocolate frosting…plus they look evil. The video is the icing on the catbox:)
You really do not know what ethics (as a quality) is; do you? It is impossible to not have ethics. It is what we base every decision on.
What you don’t have is a grasp of basic grammar.
Is it weird I’m in love with a boy who cheated on an ethics exam?
Yes. Did he at least get the correct answer?
wow, thanks for clearing that up and being a buzzkill
Thanks for linking to Danish wikipedia.
I think it’s a fail either way. Who would want a tattoo of a Spanish/Portuguese priest??
At least it is temporary.
you can definitely get that tattoo off with a shamWOW!
Yup that’s a fail alright
I thought the fail was the gay guy at the top….
Being gay is a fail?
Noop. But being a troll is. ^^
There is no way a gay guy would wear those creepy temporary tattoos! Gay guys have way more class than that!
That’s a mighty broad brush you’re painting with.
Basil, you’re no broad.
It took me ten minutes to get that. I must be wearing down for the day. That or your post Ukrainian shots have given you an unfair advantage.
Having a unicorn tattoo on mr. muscle man is a gay fail!
Thinking being gay is a fail is a fail in and of itself.
Depends what you mean by gay
*squeeze*
Welcome back!
How was adventuring?
That tattoo must be all the rage in Alabama.
And Georgia and Mississippi and South Carolina. Historically, though, when the Klan was at its height the largest concentration was in northern Indiana and southern Michigan.
Both of you are ignorant.
That tattoo wont look anything like that on redneck skin you know =)
Which side of the farmer’s tan are you talking about?
Wishing a thing weren’t true doesn’t make it a lie.
“We are men of action! Lies do not become us.”
How so?
I’m from SC but currently live in AL. It is ignorant to assume everyone from The South is racist. You’d be surprised how much class people have here. It’s a welcome break from the general rudeness of people I have seen in the North and in California.
Myself, I’m a Southerner who was, unfortunately, born and still lives in the North.
The South is the REAL America.
But I’m with you all the way
Unfortunately, people don’t know their history, and – as so frequently happens – it tends to be rewritten by the victors following a war.
Oh? What makes the south more genuinely American, Nellie?
I guess I should have said the BETTER America, closer to the intent of the people who founded the nation originally.
And that has nothing to do with slavery, before someone insinuates that into the discussion, as it were, if you will.
*prepares to insinuate*
*finishes reading WhoaNellie’s comment*
Damnit!
I disagree. I was born in New York, moved to Michigan, then to North Carolina, where I lived for three years. The only discriminatory hate I felt and witnessed was in the south. Of course, that’s not to say it’s the <b?only place where discrimination takes place; I’m just speaking from my own experience. In NC, my family was discriminated against simply because we were from the north! They said <b?I had an accent, when, really, it seems they did, and they judged us thoroughly.

Wonder how many of these are imported each year…All the rage in the elementary schools
And have to agree with you Clemson, I mean come on, just look at parts

Gee, I guess things have changed a LOT in the 10 years since I worked in Atlanta. I certainly did meet quite a number of very racist people there. Not that everyone was, of course, but many. And to be fair, most of the people I met (of every race) were nice on a one-to-one basis.
As far as California goes, most everyone I meet here is nice, too.
Yep. I used to live in So Cal. Delightful place, at the time anyway.
Is that anywhere near Lo-Cal?
Depends entirely upon if constantly looking at beautiful women on a day to day basis makes you fat.
I sincerely hope not.
It still is a delightful place. Unfortunately, we are nearly bankrupt thanks to the Govenator. I will say though, that here in Orange County, we see plenty of still-got-the-dealership-plate new cars. I’ve been taking a mental tally; most of them are BMW’s.
The Governator? I have to apply for that job.
A lot of racist people are very nice otherwise. They just have some bizarre, ugly ideas, usually inherited from their parents. Just because someone is racist doesn’t mean they have no life or personality beyond hating a certain group of people.
Did you ever see South Pacific? There is a great song that is the crux of the whole non-romantic plot. The title escapes me at the moment and I am too lazy to go look at the record, but it says how we must be very carefully taught to hate.
OK then, ClemsonTiger. I’m assuming you went to (or are still attending) Clemson University, a fine institution. I’d also assume you ate in the “dining hall” of some kind. So here’s the question. Did the students sit in the dining hall according to race? You know, the blacks sat together and the whites sat together? I don’t mean all, just across the board?
I went to Lander, a smaller university from a smaller town in SC. And seating at lunch was very integrated.
Glad to hear it.
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second…. Alabama is in the south???? ._.
and unfortunately, the KKK main HQ is still in Indiana… hicks among yankees? NO WAI!
I think that’d be hicks among Hoosiers, actually. Indianans aren’t really Yankees, per se.
Besides, “Hicks among Hoosiers” has a better ring to it.
Sounds like… I dunno, a sitcom or something. Or a comedy B-movie.
Don’t tell anyone, but I saw From Justin To Kelly a few weeks ago.
I will keep your secret, as I watched both that and the Olsen twins’ New
York Minute. I am so ashamed.
Now, ‘New York Minute’ by Don Henley. That is something else.
DILLY!!!
*turns face away in shame*
I…I still love you.
I…I love you, too…I’ll stop watching Lifetime movies as well, I promise…
I shall never be able to look at you the same again.
Okay I admit that I have no idea what a “New York Minute” is and I only vaguely remember the Olsen twins as a toddler on some old sitcom that a niece wathed.
w-a-t-c-h-e-d
Oh. I thought you meant “swathed”.
You shouldn’t look at me the same again, I made a new avatar for you…
Is that you in a nurses uniform?
Indeed.
I shall look on my next hospital stay in a whole new light.
Care to check my pulse? I’m ill and may take a turn for the nurse.
*bends over, checks pulse*
A bit fast. You should lie back a bit…
You have a way with a fantasy. There is something wonderful about you that I can’t quite put my finger on. Maybe if you move closer.
In a new york minute
oooYYOOOOOOOOO
Everything can change…
*sings Something Else by The Sex Pistols*
Do it your way.
Well dang I just gotta tell y’all something. Not all Hoosiers, are hicks, rednecks, etc. Some of us ARE dang proud to be rednecks though. Plus bein a redneck doesn’t necessarily make you a narrow-minded bigot or complete idiot. Some of us just don’t much care for the cities, we prefer our space and simplicity. Gimme 30 acres to bang around on of my own, keep your subdivisions and suburbs. There are racists everywhere, and of every color, in every state. So why bag on one state? Why not California? There are so many more people there, there are probably more racists there than any other state just due to population. Leave my state alone.
I went to high school and college in Indiana. Nice place and nice people. I was there a couple years ago and was struck by the beauty and peacefulness of it. I approached people looking for directions and they were more than willing to give me a few minutes. Nice.
I didn’t notice people here bagging Indiana, per se. Just historical references really.
Dang, I wish I had 30 acres to bang around on.
…onn which to bang around.^^ I AM pedantic, you know….
Y’know, that still ends with a preposition…
*sigh*
and it has an extra n. Dang.
No! Keep yer dang bukkit!
OK! “around which to bang.” Yeah, that’s it.
So long as either of you haven’t seen “The Line” with Lance Bass, I think you’re safe.
yeah, but that’s just obvious, you don’t need to say it, ring or no. That’s like water among the sea… or gas among the air. Or grass on the lawn.
Someone’s high.
Have you seen? Have not will travel. Have I missed the big reveal?
It’s distinctly possible.
But not likely.
Growing up is St. Louis “hoosier” was a derogatory term that was synonymous with trailer-trash. They even went so far (a few of them) to alter it slightly for those who aspired to get away from said redneck roots but somehow failed. We called them (spelled phonetically) “hoosh-wah”. But that was in St. Louis. No one here in Chicago gets it.
I would also venture to guess that more than half of the folks who use the term in a negative way (in St. Louis) are aware of how it might pertain to Indiana.
if you look closely the price tag is in pounds
???
Yeah, you really have to strain to see that one.
IIRC, a previous governor of Indiana was a Grand Dragon of the KKK.
*lives in Indiana. Has an office mate who supports the KKK–might even be a member–and is also Catholic. Yes, this is odd. Yes, I’m not White, but can pass, he hasn’t figured that out despite SO MANY clues. Also doesn’t know that I’m one of the godless folks (atheist) he’s certain is plotting to take over the world and eat babies. Or something like that.
Since it’s doubtful that you’ve ever actually BEEN to Alabama, we would love to show you how things are done here. That is, if you can pull your head out of your ass long enough to find it.
I’ve been to Alabama! Beautiful countryside and wonderful people! Just watch it if you’re on the freeways, though. They all think they are in NASCAR!
My cousin is from Alabama and is racist. He was raised well, too, so, yeah, I think there might be something in the water.
I like how he’s merrily burning, as if he’d just been *FOOOOM!!*ed.
Well, there is a dragon right there, still flaming. Your here early!
Dragon has a here early? Can I pet the here early?
That was a reference to an earlier fail. Be pedantic with someone else or I shall taunt you a second time.
Be romantic with someone else or I shall flaunt you a million times
It is SO ironic NNN is saying this, I can’t even begin to describe it.
The concept of irony is pretty hard to describe anyway, so it’s not necessarily saying much.
Did you write Reality Bites? And you’re so right, I did misspell “hypocritical”.
Well, PunditKitchen did an excellent job of it yesterday
Just look for the pic of Putin with the caption “Irony”.
WOW! I’m now down to NNN. So much easier to type.
So what are you saying? That I’m pedantic? I thought spelling and punctuation counted around here.
First!
*head explodes*
*sigh*
Better get the mop.
That’s all it took to explode your head? (Cheap thrills – yay!) Listen, English-asian young person. I like you! You’ve got more going for you than most people I meet.
Is it my fault the I think outside the box? (Box? There’s a box?) Or that I know the difference between an m dash and an n dash?
Well, it probably is my fault. Who else could I blame? Will they assume the blame? I doubt it. Bastards!
*dashes off for a ruler to measure the em-dash*
*hands jam a Secret Decoder Ring*
*uses secret decoder ring on text*
*reads “For cheap thrills and chat for only £4.99 per minute, call 0898 50 50 50″
Wuh?
*Also Explodes*
I got it, Neener!
And yes, I saw (AFTER I posted, of course) the *FOOOM!!*ing dragon next to it. How perfect is that??
hehehe – PERfectly perfect.
You own stock in the temporary tattoo company?
Nah…I have no use for them. All my tats are the permanent kind.
As well they should be.
I do find it remarkably coincidental, however, that there was a dragon right there FOOMing that foul being in the sheet.
Sometimes ya just gotta wonder…
Maybe it’s karma.
Maybe it’s dogma.
Maybe it’s Maybelene.
Maybe it’s because you’re a Londoner.
But the fog on the Tyne is all mine.
OK, this has to be typed. My karma ran over your dogma and now you owe me for a front-end alignment. And keep your next one on a leash – and stay off my lawn!
Your karma ran over my dogma, but my dogma rose from the dead, and your karma is totaled.
Not totaled, but the front-end sure has gone wonky! How’s dog doing with those mushrooms?
I’ll never get rid of the tattoos you’ve left on me.
Normal people call those scars, AA.
Just kidding! *does not wish to be *FOOOM!!*ed*
What do heart surgeons call them?
Oh, and hi there DTI!
“inoperable”
Words fail me.
A rare occurance, to be sure.
*inserts second r*
*KerSPLORTCH*
Didn’t have a problem with that “a”, though?
I fart in your general direction.
Remember: every fart could be your last.
That was a good follow through.
I thought it was a load of guff..
I thought it was a load of….nevermind.
You WOULD notice that!
Who could miss it? It’s right there, just to the right. No, you’re other right…
BTW, I put up some of my art on myspace (clickie) and go to pics and then to fractal gallery.
I’m trying to picture that. Hmmmmmmm.
Looks like you already did
Dammit, now I gotta go look.
Umm….
*kinda doesn’t want to look now…*
No worries, it’s safe. SFW!!! That’s just Nellie’s overactive imagination.
Nice stuff on your clickie!
They’re not mine but some of them are me!
HAH! And all this time, I thought you were the guy who did them!
Sorry, ma’am.
*offers cookie*
*takes cookie – nibbles*
Yummy!
No I have girly parts.*looks down to check*
Can I have a cookie?
Can I have
Never mind.
Very wise
You sier(pinski) like those puns.
I Koch help myself.
Hmmm… that didn’t come out right!
They’re strangely attractive.
Much like Dragon’s curves.
Feels like there’s a comment missing here.
[AA]
There’s nothing strange about the attractiveness of Dragon’s curves.
[/AA]
There, that’s better.
I just love elliptic curves. Or modular forms.
Thanks POB.
I knew Admiral might say something, but I felt it was in everybody’s best interest to keep the pun-run moving.
Great heavens. I come back from my day out with friends to find a conversation about my strangely or not strangely attractive curves.
*SNORK!* at you all.
There, there, dear. We all love you. There, there.
BTW, we all got sprayed all day today her in L.A. Chemtrails – yay!
Erm…is it a natural response to console someone when they are laughing??
^here^
You make it seem as if the answer is no…
Depends on the laughter.
Maybe I took it wrong. It seemed that you needed some comforting.
Besides, you did *SNORK!* at us! Maybe you could *SNORK!* with us instead.
BTW, have you been getting sprayed today?
OK, I see it now. I guess it’s lucky I paired it with the second one…
Actually it WAS the 2nd one, now that I’ve looked again. The first one didn’t load the first time I looked.
Still, a splendid pairing.
That guy in the red shirt freaks me out.
He reminds me of Luther Creek.
I’ve oft wondered what happened to that dimension. It’s so boring these days with only eleven.
I know. I had to take vengeance, in the name of Twelvie! DIE, MELATROPH!
…I’m sorry. Sometimes, I still have nightmares about it.
Don’t worry, he’ll probably be killed off as usual
Oh man epic fail
I usually don’t read these “epic fail” inane posts, but seriously, this is the first fail that made me gasp and OMG out loud.
Just wait ’til they have you lying on the floor in a seeming epileptic explosion of garbled expletives as you try desperately to flaunt gravity in a bold yet plaintive manner.
THEN you’ll be reading these “epic fail” posts – endlessly, even in your sleep.
Dear god, if you just messed with the space-time continuum…
Why is that guy putting a nail in a lizard?
The Hand is Perhaps Just Removing the Nail From Lizard?
The Hand is Perhaps Belonging to a Female and Not a Guy.
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what’s on the other side?
What’s the frequency, Kenneth? And who are you?
I’m pretty sure it also says “saft & Non-toxic,” so it looks like we have double fail.
and incredibly realistic!
yeah and the “S” in tattos looks pretty racist too =D TRIPLE FAIL
It does say “Saft & Non-toxic”. I’m glad it’s saft. Things that aren’t saft worry me. I won’t buy anything that isn’t saft.
Maybe MW is secretly Britney?
Or maybe I’m secretly Matt, who is not Britney.
Something to ponder.
You’d have to be dafe to buy anything that isn’t saft.
is it supposed to say “soft” or “safe?”
i prefer my tattoos soft, honestly.
Silly, giraffes can’t talk.
It’s what we call, Σταυροφόροι. Us Greeks, I dunno how it’s called in English. Stauroforians? (missed guess)
us greeks call it σταυροφόροι but it’s called crusaders in english.
i would be pretty sure it’s a crusader too, if not for the pointy hat
Yeah, I kind of forgot Ku Klux Klans’ trademark hat and originally assumed it was a Crusader…that got me all ‘wtf has this got to do with temporary tatoos?”
I think they are Penitents, at least the Spanish word sounded mostly like tat to me. I saw an Easter parade of them in Spain. Little figurines of them were for sale everywhere and they came in different colors. I think those are the flames of Purgatory. I know it is hard to believe, but there are a lot of people who have no idea who the KKK are and really don’t care.
The real question is, what is up with the lizard with a hand on its tail? Is that a bungled M. C. Escher reference?
White Supremacy tattoo, lasts for days. Ages 5 and up! And if that’s not enough you get the hand stabbing through a lizard with a nail included!
Wow, fail and fail again.
luzzlemuffin
roflzcake
zomgpie
Lies! Your pants are burning, FYI.
Why would somebody want to hang their pants on a telephone wire?
How can we sleep when our pants are burning?
It’s a shame it’s temporary – that one’s a keeper.
Oooh, I would be so jalous of you!
Naut ta worry, Diana – you can have one on your RIGHT butt cheek
FAKE
If you look closely, it’s just Prince Harry in fancy dress.
Or Prince Philip in his younger days.
Or now even… he’s still as racist as he ever was.
But he’s getting old, so he has to have his underlings to do racist deeds for him… The Daily Mail, for example.
ISWYDT
Am I the only one seeing a burning clans man? (In that case I’d personally classify it as a win.)
Yes indeed…all the rest of us were looking at the pink elephant in the fluffy tutu.
*Snickers*
I like obama.
I want change…
You can buy the Verizon company for $.002.
Me too…can you break a five?
kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke
Sonucais has a stutter. He’s trying to say he killed Kenny.
WTF?! EPIC FAIL
The perfect tattoo for extreme racists.
Really? Why?
So true. XD
that’s not even funny. shameful
The few posts about the Spanish/Portuguese are indeed correct. It’s often the case that something reviled like that actually has a fairly innocent past. Those hoods were used in religious processions for centuries before there was ever a KKK.
It’s no different with Nazis and the swastika. The swastik was used as a symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism for quite a few thousand years before there was ever a Hitler or Nazi movement. It predates even the existence of Judaism. But Hitler took the symbol and the name (which means something along the lines of “the way things should be”), and rotated it 45 degrees and removed the circles from the spaces and it has since been remembered only in the context of Nazi Germany and the holocaust.
You misspelled Holocau$t™.
yes, and if you notice the fact that the pricetag is in euros, it makes even more sense, considering that spain and portugul are in europe, so their priest’s decorum would be more widely known in europe.
actually, no, Hitler took the symbol from japan. There are Japanese drawings of the swastika that I myself have seen in the Art institute of Chicago. Yes it is similar to many different symbols (also a native American symbol that is a “backwards swastika” that was displayed on the mitchell corn house in 1919 I believe, it may have been 1929). The swastika is its own thing, and geometric shapes like it, and many others, are very VERY old.
So Burning a KKK is a fail? Wouldn’t that mean you’re a racist for wanting them to live?
I thought the sheer mention of the KKK was a fail.
I don’t get that. How does ignoring something improve it?
Well, there are only like 9 of them left. I think there day has come and gone, fortunately.
*KERSPLORTCH*
Again.
What flavo(u)r is it?
Asparagus, today, with a hint of graffiti.
Boot to the head.
And another for Jenny and the wimp!
Wait. Was the arrow really necessary?
I dunno… that lizard being poked by a nail is pretty disturbing.
FARST!!
oh wait…
Yes, your comment is a farce.
Are there a lot of hood wearing KKK in Europe? The price tag is not a dollar sign.
No it’s a pound sign, as in the British Pound (£). I live in London and I’ve never seen any Klansmen in England (apart from in my history textbook).
And to insinuate Britain is in Europe! Horror of horrors!
Yes there is a lot og hood wearing in europe – by PRIESTS during Holy Week. The figure in the Tattoo is not a KKK member – it’s a priest wearing a Holy Week robe. Check out the following:
http://gospain.about.com/od/semanasantaeaster/ss/semana_santa.htm
There is a bonus fail in the corner – For ages 5 & up.
Plus, I love how the guy in the muscle shirt with the huge biceps has a tattoo of a unicorn.
And he’s blushing.
How old is he anyway?
I know! I would totally put this on a 4-year-old.
Couldn’t this be a win since he’s on fire?
And because that angry gorilla is about to bite his face off!
That’s probably the funniest part of this fail.
And Owen Wilson fails for appearing on the packaging.
Looks more like Luther Creek to me.
LOL, if u read the 3 bullet on the box u see”saft & non-toxic” instead of ‘safe & non-toxic’ so, its a double fail.
What is the first fail?
Double is an understatement.
It’s not a klansman, it’s a penitente, like from Seville.
….
He should flagellate himself, as he has a UNICORN on his shoulder.
Should he also ciliate himself?
Thank you for stating that. As soon as i saw the euro mark on the packaging I knew, but couldn’t remember what they were called.
no, not unless that unicorn has rabies. I doubt I made sense there. Sorry if I didn’t, I’m new here.
Hi, Ultimadonut.
I suspect your comment was for Hammykins. There is a reply to this comment button on the corner of the comment box. Click on it to reply to a comment, like I’m doing to yours.

Good job it only nests so far!
We’re not NEARLY there yet…
I’m on it!
Can I help out?
Yes.
Yay!
I’ll help too!
Let’s all work together to achieve our goals!
Have we nested yet? I’m waiting for some birds to come in my bush!
*wonders if I said that out loud*
No WONDER Avis hasn’t posted here!
“…waiting for some birds to come in my bush”
*scootches away – quickly!*
Um… WHAT did I miss?
Nesting popular again?
wow because thats not racist at all, where were those made?
The price tag is in pounds and .. well you do the maths.
*really wishes math wasn’t mentioned*
China! Everything sold in Britain was made in China.
True… just because it’s sold there doesn’t mean it’s made there.
I didn’t finished “…and everything nowadays is made in China.”
That’s how math is done.
Wow… that was complex numbers or maybe just my imagination.
Quick… what’s Spain + Mongolia = ?
Junk?
anyone notice the “s” looks like the “s” from the ss of hitlers army?
plus i forgot. the guy has blond hair!
Having blond hair is being racist?
hay im blonde
“Temporary Tattoo Fail”
Hmmm, this must mean they last forever!
To bad I let my small cousins put them in my face..
Ooh look at the time, I must make my speech for the million man march.
I think I broke it =S
I should get my kids some of those.
That Gorilla looks fierce, and the dog is adorable.
How ’bout a lizard on a nail or that zombie-bird eating brain? They are nice to =)
I’m sure Jamal would love the blonde girl too. She’s classy.
who put immigrant in my racist tattoo set?
Is anybody else getting tattoo ads at the bottom of the screen?
Can they really do it right now?
I’ll have one skull with headphones and sunglasses please.
And what the hell is that brown thing next to it?
Maybe it’s a dragon orb *ponders*
Maybe it’s just a football on Red Bull.
Adblocker is my friend, so no, I don’t get those.
blonde haired, blue eyed boy with a KKK tatoo, why doesnt that surprise me?
That is so true! All klan members are blonde. Why didn’t I see this before?
“Easily removable”
“Waterproof”
How do you get it off? 0.o
All I have to say is…..I had that very packet once and it was entirely fail. Damn things were five minutes of temporary.
You frighten me, Ebby.
that sounds unpleasant
ku-klux-klan tattoo, now for children
)
that is a sweet tat
get a rope
it isnt an epic fail
ITS AN EPIC WIN FOR RACISM AND BIGGOTRY!!!
muahahahahahaa
There’s some kind of win associated with the fact that the Klansman is a temp tattoo.
i actually had that tatoo when i was a child
)
Animal rights fail?! Piercing a reptile should be looked down upon
Naw fellers… this ain’t no fail, this here’s what we call an EPIC WIN!
The South Shall RISE AGAIN!
I’m not so sure about the Spanish priest thing. The juxtaposition of the screaming ape to the left makes me think twice.
it’s a tattoo of a “dragon”
http://www.lowbrowsophisticate.com/category/jack-grabber
Well, that would certainly be better as a temporary tattoo than as a PERMANENT one.
How you figure?
the fact that its a spanish priest still doesnt explain why he has claws and is on fire
nice he has a unicorn tattoo
does anyone have a problem with the unicorn tatto on the guys arm at the top of the package?
I don’t know if anyone mentioned this, but these tattoos may be from south America. During mardi gras, as well as some other celebrations, south American priests dress like a ghost with vestments on, so its actually not really a “fail” because to them its normal to do that.
having a mother makes you racist…
which makes everyone racist
LAST!
Is that a lizard with a hand coming out of it’s ass?
(Despite all those saying it was from Spain…)
You probably can buy those at KKK Supermarket. Which is very suspicious.
This is a cultural fail by whoever posted it.
Good to know you can still get temp tattoos in the south.
have you guys notice that the tattoos are also waterproof
actually the fail is supposedly the tatoo of the “KKK” but really it is a tatoo of someone celebrating Semana Santa, basicly a spanish easter. KKK copied of of them
WHo cares I’m so tired of catering to n-i=ggers
Dude, I have that tattoo on my bathroom mirror for over 10 years, wtf ?
Ya i wonder how they know the temporary tattoos last forever?
he really didn’t need to point that out in the photo seriously who wouldn’t notice the racist.
Obviously its a WIN because the KKK guy is BURNING IN HELL.
I am pretty sure my Mom wouldn’t let me put one of this when I was a kid…
Blazing in racism!!!
In case no one knows, those clothes have been worn by spanish priests longer than they have been used in America.
Think Ku Klux was gone… =B
GO!!! wisedom scare the crap out of people….*coughs–then u will get shot coughs*
i used to have those from bubble gum when i was a kid
HOLY SHIZZ!!! where do they allow these to be sold?! *looks horrified!*
Terrible. Just terrible.
Its temporary though
wats funny is teh gorilla next to him is fuuuuuurious lol
0_0 oh that’s a gorilla? i was gonna say “that black guy next to him is pretty funny”
jk!(or am i?)
nah dudes see how it says 1 euro? in spain there are like special priests that dress like that but still
this is crazy, what a world!
“Welcome to the temp tattoo club fellow clan member.”
Backtrack im with raw u nazi
obviously like your web-site however you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very troublesome to tell the reality on the other hand I will surely come again again.
