Yeah, when people are really good at them they are very good wepons. However, considering all the self-inflicted pain accumulated throughout the training highly discourages me from wanting to learn.
I have “played” with those things like three times in my entire life and nearly lost an eye twice…and they were bloody foam.
But yes, I agree, when people who know what they are doing use them, they are truly amazing to watch.
Dragon, I think it will be quite some years before a birthday cake of yours poses a fire hazard. Which is good, it’ll give us time to buy back the fire extinguisher!
Yeah, must people do Judo and Karate, and when you say “I do aikido” you are rewarded with a blank stare. I only know one other person, apart from you, who does aikido.
*FailBlog monster got me.*
Jeet Kune Do – the fine style of Bruce Lee… cool.
@BFF – Yeah I have tried many styles and I have enjoyed Aikido the most. I never found one that quite compares. Even Judo has a very different feel.
Clickie my name if you want to actually see what Aikido is.
I dated a guy that taught aikido. At first I was like, suuuuure. But then I saw him at a demo for aikido, and that was so cool! He was on the security team for Cinderella (the rock band, not the princess). That’s the closest to anyone famous I’ve ever been.
Yeah, Aikido can be a great martial art, but it takes sooo much practice to get it right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aikido if anyone is interested in what it is.
*hopes the FailBlog monster want get this one.*
Ha! Arthur is here a lot. The avatar with the big muscles striking a pose…
He and Mikey (THE Moomin) D. play footsies all the time. I just offered Arthur a helping han paw for a moment.

1: She’s a lot younger than me.
2: Are you inferring that she’s LARGE?
3: It’s just an expression, get over it dude.
4: If she wishes to chastise me, fine.
I don’t do second hand ones, sorry!
This makes me laugh that people will believe what they read on the internet. n.
Nunchaku were never a weapon until the 20th century when they were used
theatrically. Why do you think there are no traditional nunchaku weapons? There was never an evolution of them as other weapons had over the centuries.
You’re only half right there, mate. The word nunchuck is the English version of the word, the correct term being nunchaku. The original nunchaku had curved arms. The nunchacku as we now know it originated in Okinawa, where they used it for threshing rice. After the invasion of Okinawa in the 17th century, there was a moratorium in place on all edged weapons, and so the peasants used their farm implements as weapons. Other items used as weapons during this time are kamas (sickles) and bo staffs. Staves. Whatever.
Convince yourself that you are improving your pain tolerance AND learn cool ninja tricks you can show off with at the same time.
One tend to progess away from this sort of painfull newbie misstakes quite quickly and learn how to do more complicated painfull misstakes instead.

“The Nutcracker and the King of Mice” written by E.T.A. Hoffman. in 1816, which inspired Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s ballet The Nutcracker written in1892

*puts on the TMI hat*
Indeed. His 1812 Overture was composed to comemorate the Russian victory over Napoleon’s forces in the winter of 1812. The tune includes parts of “Le Marseillaise”, The French national anthem, and “God save the Tsar”.
*grabs TMI hat*
A narrated adaptation of the Nutcracker Suite was released on LP as “Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) Introduces You To The Nutcracker Suite.”
That one’s for you, Judy.
I would not, could not, in my pain.
I could not, would not, in the rain.
I will not beat them with a cane.
I will not beat them in a rain.
I will not beat them here or there.
I will not beat them anywhere.
I do not like blue-balls from Stan.
I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
I heed your warning this time.
*shudders from yesterday. Pushes B2F’s comment away with a 3.5 meter pole*
I had a clickie but apparently the FailBlog monster is working overtime and stop all 3 of them (various areas). And it was a work safe site even (wikipedia)
actual blue balls is one, hitting yourself in the balls with nunchucks is the other.
If you don’t know what blue balls are Google it… I’m sure you get several hits. May not want to do that at work though.
I thought neither were fun, but I really have no point of reference other than other men’s opinion.
.
But I can verify that kidney stones hurt worse than labor & delivery.
Ahhhhhh, velvet – yes indeed! Various women I knew snickered when I told them how painful kidney stones are. Then I met a woman who had had both. She said she’d prefer 4 babies in a row to one kidney stone.
Avis, I truly hope you never get to experience the joy thereof.
Or me again either, for that matter.
I have a permanent Rx of hydrocodone just in case…
Nellie, I have a standing ’scrip for that myself. But it’s for migraines. I was finally able to explain to my doc just how bad they were after he gave me imitrex. Imitrex made it sooooooo much worse, I was literally pounding my head on the (carpeted) floor because THAT felt better than the migraine.
That was a VERY unpleasant day for me. My head was killing me (before the head banging), it was a really bright sunny day, and there was construction on the street out in front of my building. And the doctor gave me something that made the pain WORSE!
No, the commercial. Hot guy in desert on side of road. Hot girl pulls up in convertible. “Are you wearing Bugle Boy jeans”? Hot guy: “Why yes, yes I am.” Hot girl drives away.
I think that’s right – I could be wrong.
You have the best cookies! Thank you! *munch munch*
My goal for today is to figure out how to add an avatar.
That will counter these blues…and my fails… *chuckles*
Look, Dragnowriter. It’s what it says here on this slip. That’s what I put. Next you’ll be telling me I should have drawn the Olympic rings instead of writing them on the cake.
That’s why you learn to use them with the padded practice ones. When you first learn to use them, (or to spin a staff) you will sooner or later, hit yourself like that. There are two things to remember, first, use practice weapons. Second, don’t let your friends film you.
The foam and plastic ones don’t have the same weight or feel and don’t allow you to build the proper muscles. I have always preferred wooden practice weapons. If you hit yourself it just teaches you to not do it again. Also the trick is to start slow, speed builds with practice.
Okay. Let’s get something straight right here and now.
I’m not British.
I wasn’t on the “Show Off” fail late yesterday afternoon (eastern u.s. time).
I’ve never watched an episode of Dr. Who; and
I don’t believe I’ve ever played a rpg.
But, from what I’ve discovered by going back and reviewing…. Somebody Owes Me Some Booze and Cookies!!!
All I know is, yesterday I came in and the TARDIS was gone. I had to take the DeLorean to run my errands. Although, I’m not complaining… that car’s a real chick magnet.
Captain Obvious told me he was going to rack himself, but then it got so much better with the skateboard! Props to Nun-Chuck there for not being a stereotype
I totally did not expect THAT to happen! I mean… how could you hit yourself with a nunchuck?? That’s impossible! They’ve designed that for stupid people so that they won’t hit themself. So that stupid people could fight too.
I mean… just woow!
It’s actually called Old English Biathlon: Hitting yourself with nunchuck first, then tripping over skateboard. Almost as popular as street racing right next to the police station.
In its original meaning, the term “avatar” refers to an incarnation (lit., a “descent”) of a Divine Being in an earthly form. The gods Rama and Krishna, for example, are avatars of the God, Vishnu. (Jesus, for those who see him as god, can also be considered an avatar.)
It would appear eArtrash has chosen to incarnate as a floral pattern.
(If I am double-posting, I apologise. I think the Failblog moster got hungry.)
How long have you been around Failblog? I have only been posting about a month, viewing for 3.
I think I started in July or August. This is the only blog that I’ve commented on. Correction. I did do a few comments in the political blog. I was baiting political extremists. They’re so easy. Just ask a straight forward question and off they go. I sound like a troll don’t I?
You viewed for three months? I don’t think that I could bite my tongue for that long.
We’ll have to ask Sqwerlly to tell BOGGY to keep up his chore of feeding the Failblog monster, or no crunchy champagne glasses from DW’s party for him.
.
I think I was the only one up on New Year’s Eve that hadn’t either passed out, or gone to bed for, uh, one reason or another. That big fat “0″ comments stared at me for almost an hour, but I was too shy. I could have posted on the first day of the first month at 1:11 am. It is not important for me to be first, though. I am happy just to laugh.
*reconsiders*
*Confides that it was a joke to prevent troll backlash before it starts*
It was 1:11 a.m. my time; and the “0″ was there ‘cos it wasn’t there. Hee!
*shakes head at self*
I am not sure everyone understands my humo(u)r. I am better in person.
Yeah, it’s pretty clearly Graham from LoadingReadyRun, and I’d wager that that’s Morgan holding the camera. Interesting though, that the fake video will only generate publicity for LRR by us commenters pointing it out.
Actually it’s Matt holding the camera with the hyena laugh. There’s a longer video where Morgan runs into frame as Graham is getting up and kicks him in the balls again.
It’s a scientifically proven fact that as soon as you start waving around nunchucks with a video camera rolling you are guaranteed to hit yourself in the balls. There is only one person who has ever escaped this fate in the history of home videos, and we call him “Afro Ninja”
YOU SUUUCCKKKK!!!!
This was posted earlier and contained a final third fail at the end which was the icing on the cake. Please refrain from ripping other fails. FAIL FAIL.
What he is trying to pull off (if I’m not mistaken) is one of the most basic nunchuck training forms. Part of it involves hitting yourself in the leg pretty close to the crotch, and I’ve seen people nail themselves in the groin when they first try it. It happened to a friend of mine. It’s one of the reasons why I stick to bo staffs. Staves. Whatever. Point is, weapon class noobs are amusing.
Guys with nunchucks…that always ends badly. But fun to watch.
Training with nunchucks will always result in more pain than you will ever inflict on anyone in an actual fight.
Which leads one to question why they ever became “common”. I would kind of like to know the thought process behind the making of that particular weapon.
They were invented by Japanese peasents/farmers because all weapons had been outlawed and nunchucks were farming implements that could slightly pass as a weapon.
Ok. Now how is it a farming implement?
To cut down things like rice or whatever. Anything more useful like a knife had been banned.
What did they do, beat the rice to death? Or is it because of the super fast movement that they can cut it down?
I think they beat the rice off.
lol, they beat the rice off! Is that a rice WIN?
dm
every hear of rice milk?
or rice pudding?
It’s a threshing tool. Variants have been in use all over the world for hundreds of years.
(would also accept “thrashing tool” and “nonesuch fool”)
yea….rice milk
the result after you beat off your rice plant
Yeah I think so. Either way, they are horrible as farm tools and even worse as weapons.
but they sure make good nut mashers
That’s all we need them for these days.
If you’ve ever watched someone who is actually skilled with them, they’re good weapons. I have
I studied various martial arts for a while, but eventually switched to Ching Ching Pow.
Yeah, when people are really good at them they are very good wepons. However, considering all the self-inflicted pain accumulated throughout the training highly discourages me from wanting to learn.
You are wise, Grasshopper.
That’s what I tell myself.
I have “played” with those things like three times in my entire life and nearly lost an eye twice…and they were bloody foam.
But yes, I agree, when people who know what they are doing use them, they are truly amazing to watch.
LOL – you should see how much blood a little finger can produce whilst practicing with a butterfly knife! Scary.
Lol… I am more of an aikidoist myself. I tend to lean toward a wakazashi or jo.
Um…I think I’ll just keep my blood inside my body and leave the martial arts to others. Eeeep.
I’m with you there Dragonwriter. I like my blood…in me.
Oh, heard it was your birthday, so happy birthday!
If that is true than Otanjou-bi Omedetou Gozaimasu!
*brings out a cake to eat regardless*
Dig in everyone!
So, nun-chucks are proof that man will attempt (and succeed) in making a weapon out of just about anything?
Ooh, thank you!!
*surreptitiously takes half the candles off the cake*
Ahem…much better.
Dragon, I think it will be quite some years before a birthday cake of yours poses a fire hazard. Which is good, it’ll give us time to buy back the fire extinguisher!
You can’t have your fire extinguisher back until all the cobwebs are gone!!!
*sets down a blowtorch*
My roommate studied Jhoon Rhee (or however you spell it). She made it up to 1D brown belt and then quit. I took it for 2 weeks. Not my cup o’ tea.
*calls an exterminator and a cleaning service to get rid of the cobwebs*
What are you doing?
*grabs blowtorch and runs*
*burns everything in site*
Happy Birthday to Dragon! WOOT! Bring on the cake and ice cream!
Pssscchhhh You’re no fun!
THE SITE IS BURNING!!!
My sense of self preservation runs a bit high.
I noticed. We may have to find a new site soon because it’s now burning. At least we’ll make the news.
How can we dance when our earth is turning??
How can we sleep when our site is burning??
(take that!)
@aikiwaza
I’m an aikidoist, too! I practiced it for 8 years, then my school life became too important.
I wish I knew something cool
Sweet BFF. Glad to hear I’m not alone. Most people try to tell me I made it up.
I just laugh.
Yeah, must people do Judo and Karate, and when you say “I do aikido” you are rewarded with a blank stare. I only know one other person, apart from you, who does aikido.
Jeet Kune Do
*FailBlog monster got me.*
Jeet Kune Do – the fine style of Bruce Lee… cool.

Happy birthday, Dragonwriter!! *offers homemade chocolate chip cookies to all and sundry*
Yoink!
Peace.
Hammy is cleaning up on cookies today!
That said, I’ll take one too!
*snags a cookie*
Thanks TS20!
Mmmmm…..good cookies, TS20.
BIRFDAY COOKIES!
Yummmmm. Thanks, TS20.
Chocolate chip are my favorite! Any milk about?
All I have is soy.
I’ve always wondered how they milk a bean. Very small pails?
^_^ You’re welcome. I always make these when I go home (only three days till Spring Break!).
Here you go. *pours coyote some milk*
I always double up, at least, on the amount of chips called for.
Happy Birfday Dragon!!!
*shyly takes cookie*
Thank you, TS20.

@coyote>> It’s a full moon tonite, Wile E. one.
It is indeed Sidhe. Clear as a bell and a brisk 20. How are you doing tonight?
I guess you could say I’m in a fey mood.
Clear and 63. Had to turn on the A/C last night and today.
You are just saying that to depress me. We have cars going sideways, if they are moving at all, and you are using your A/C.
The weather has gone schizo around here. One day it’s spring the next winter.
You say that you are fey. Sense of foreboding or just crazy?
Em, I’m always crazy. It is my preferred state of being, and I am a natural at it.
*giggle* I am fey (faery)
Go with your strengths I always say.
You have a feeling of the ancient naturals? A kinship with the Green Man.
I have an affinity for him. He scratches my back; I scratch his.
You’re not going to enslave me and feed off of my life forces are you?
No, I am benevolent; and magical. My paws have a thaumaturgical effect.
(I soothed Arthur Eld’s ankle a bit the other day.)
You peak my interest no end. Have you studied? Should I know Arthur?
Ha! Arthur is here a lot. The avatar with the big muscles striking a pose…
He and Mikey (THE Moomin) D. play footsies all the time. I just offered Arthur a helping
hanpaw for a moment..
Shall we start a new thread down on the bottom? vvvvv
martial arts are gay.
teehee
It was used to mill the grain and wheat etc
It is Jews who will be a pain to defeat etc
Moar liek you are rtArd, amirite?
it was used to make waffles=\
Its when they have all the harvest they put it together and beat it, so the seeds and grains get beaten out of the dried plants
I always learned that they were originally used for de-husking the rice.
I actually learned they were used for lots of stuff. Rice culture and meat treatment. You know, to make it softer.
Anyways, makes up for a great weapon if you can stand the pain and the bruises in training (I did)
And Happy Birthday Dragon!
Why, theng-kew-veddy-much!
Happy Burpday Dragon
*offers some liquid refreshments*
And many happy returns
lusti nativitie!!
Thanks, fuzz…my traverse of this life has been interesting, to say the least, so far.

2: Are you inferring that she’s LARGE?
3: It’s just an expression, get over it dude.

My hat’s off you guys.
TMI sucks as a conversationalist;
that should have been –

Seems to work the other way too since someone hid the hat.

Tchaikovsky resented being commissioned to write the piece and

Scrambled eggs anyone?
I do not like blue-balls from Stan, I do not like them Sam I am.

Would you eat them on a skateboard?
Or would you eat them in pain on the ground?
Would you, could you, in your pain?
Would you eat them in the rain?

I would not, could not, in my pain.

Chuck Norris can beat him, in a swimming race across the desert.
Amen.
That was a Weird Al song? And here I was, giving noconspiracy all the credit!
Isn’t that “the beating of our balls is the only sound”?
Just asking…
Oh, happy ear worm!
*squeeeeeeeze*
Sure looks like the Loading Ready Run viral videos are working, though I never thought that they’d make it on the fail blog.
Congrats Graha and co! ^_^
The haunting laughter…
afro ninja anyone? Ripofff
The other way to get blue-balls.
But neither way is fun, right? Or is the other way fun?
Neither is fun, but one is WAY more painful….I rather get hit by nunchucks any day of the week….and TWICE on Sunday.
*frees up calendar for Sunday*
So, is that a date Jules?
I would not miss it!
Dare I ask what the other blue balls is?
actual blue balls is one, hitting yourself in the balls with nunchucks is the other.
If you don’t know what blue balls are Google it… I’m sure you get several hits. May not want to do that at work though.
I thought neither were fun, but I really have no point of reference other than other men’s opinion.
.
But I can verify that kidney stones hurt worse than labor & delivery.
Ahhhhhh, velvet – yes indeed! Various women I knew snickered when I told them how painful kidney stones are. Then I met a woman who had had both. She said she’d prefer 4 babies in a row to one kidney stone.
Gallstones are also more painful…a bad gallstone attack was enough to make me pass out, even after they’d given me the morphine.
Having experienced none of these painful things, I’ll leave the comparisons up to you guys. I hope to continue to avoid all of them.
Avis, I truly hope you never get to experience the joy thereof.
Or me again either, for that matter.
I have a permanent Rx of hydrocodone just in case…
Nellie, I have a standing ’scrip for that myself. But it’s for migraines. I was finally able to explain to my doc just how bad they were after he gave me imitrex. Imitrex made it sooooooo much worse, I was literally pounding my head on the (carpeted) floor because THAT felt better than the migraine.
Yikes.
Just yikes!
Never had ‘em.
Hopefully never will.
*note to self, pounding carpet makes head feel better*
Thanks
Since you’re a dog, you can also run into walls when you wake up.
Scooting on yer butt on the carpet apparently can be quite delightful if you’re a dog as well.
I love that “if you’re a dog as well” sounds like it was just thrown on the end.
That was a VERY unpleasant day for me. My head was killing me (before the head banging), it was a really bright sunny day, and there was construction on the street out in front of my building. And the doctor gave me something that made the pain WORSE!
Agreed. Oh god…I would pay for the ball crushing before experiencing the other.
Skateboard win.
Surprised no one else mentioned that yet.
Technically, it is mentioned through saying ‘double fail’, though that is more referring to the man itself.
I didn’t notice even the double fail remark, but yes you’re right it should be a triple fail. Or even a quadruple fail because he did it on video.
That thing just added injury to. . . injury.
At least he remove=d himself from the gene pool

It always helps to have good jeans.
Are you sure?
Why, yes..yes I am.
i think the pain dont change but if you say that!
(just kidding whit you)
Thank you, Bugle Boy.
…of Company B?
Now there’s a rare earworm!
… not to be confused with a rare earthworm.
I prefer mine medium to medium-well, theng-kew!

I just want to celebrate another day of livin’
I just want to celebrate another day of LIFE!!
No, the commercial. Hot guy in desert on side of road. Hot girl pulls up in convertible. “Are you wearing Bugle Boy jeans”? Hot guy: “Why yes, yes I am.” Hot girl drives away.
I think that’s right – I could be wrong.
Hee…! I got it, Judy. I was just trying to pay you back for all the earworms you started today. :p
Earworms? Moi?
*whistles innocently, looking skyward*
Never fear Judy, we’ll get you yet!
It wouldn’t hurt to have a cup, either.
don’t need anymore of those
Love the laugh track!
Track love the laugh!
The love track laugh!
Track the love! *laugh*
Track the laugh, love!
Hack the cough, love!
hmmmm, that cough came outa nowhere. You better take something for that.
Aha! Take on me.
*droooooooooool…*
Ahem…sowwy. But those guys were HAWT!
They still are, dragon. Have you seen a recent photo? Those guys haven’t hardly aged at all!
.
:drool:
*hands velvet a spittoon*
If you’ve not see this before, you’re going to love it
(clicky)
Omg…that was WONDERFUL!
I used to have a little crush on that girl. Perhaps even more on the cartoony version.
That was hysterical! And there are MORE!
Fun.
Although it looked like the guy was trying
to William Hurt himself at the end.
That was neat, plussingaswhich!
Thanks.
Btw, Sidhe…thanks for the birthday wishes this morning!
*HUG!*
*stands by with the smelling salts, just in case…*
OMG Happy happy birthday, Dragon! And a Pisces to boot.
(Not a literal birthday booting of course) *Hugs*
Tanks, sweety-pie!
*hugs back*
* biiiig b-d huuug* Happy B-day DW!
I’ll leave the birthday “spanking” and the “pinching to grow an inch” to the Admiral…
Well actually it’s a fake. You can see it on commodorehustle.com in Episode 6. He’s also wearing protection down there.
You just ruined my day.
My day’s still doing pretty fine, actually.
My day blows like this guys acting.
I can’t watch videos at work, which usually means I miss nothing. My day has sucked either way, so bleeeeeeeccccchhhhhh………
*is having a happy birthday!*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
*or else*
Eeeeeep!
Yes’m!
I have threatening birthday wishes! *snickers*
I love threatening…dammit…
I guess the typo works, but it makes me sound evil…
And that’s different how?
*Sigh* Failed again.
*gives Malicite another cookie*
You have the best cookies! Thank you! *munch munch*
My goal for today is to figure out how to add an avatar.
That will counter these blues…and my fails… *chuckles*
Go to gravatar.com for an avatar.
.
There. You’ve achieved your goal
Thank you! After I get set up with that site, do I have to do anything else?
Have you registered? Then you just have to wait a while till your avatar appears.
Thank you for your help!
Any time. Can’t wait to see what your avatar is!
Tada! That was fast. Not much worth anticipating I am afraid…
THERE you are!
As I am sure you know, you can also change your name and your avatar will show as long as your email is the same as your gravatar email.
What? Oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DRAGONWRITER!!!
*blimp with HAPPY B-DAY DRAGNOWRITER!!! on it sails past*
Dragnowriter? Right, someone is going to get fired today.
Hahaha! Those bastards!
*snorkroffle!!*
BFF, you gave me a lovely laugh for my birthday…thank you!
*big hug!*
Bonne fête!
I said it elsewhere, but I don’t know if she’ll get to read it.
Oh! I didn’t see you come in there. Um… Surprise!
Look, Dragnowriter. It’s what it says here on this slip. That’s what I put. Next you’ll be telling me I should have drawn the Olympic rings instead of writing them on the cake.
Hee…!
Thanks, sweetie. *hug!*
Thank you aikiwaza for informing me about the name change!
I did not know that…like many things ^_^
They taught me these things the other day too.
Was the skateboard part of the act too?
You ruined it! It was supposed to be a secret!
That’s why you learn to use them with the padded practice ones. When you first learn to use them, (or to spin a staff) you will sooner or later, hit yourself like that. There are two things to remember, first, use practice weapons. Second, don’t let your friends film you.
I like your second piece of advice.
The foam and plastic ones don’t have the same weight or feel and don’t allow you to build the proper muscles. I have always preferred wooden practice weapons. If you hit yourself it just teaches you to not do it again. Also the trick is to start slow, speed builds with practice.
I’m getting a bit of lag apparently
So, you’re laggy? Well, as long as you wax, you’ll be fine
I played the sequence over and over like 100 times
“YEA……OH —- YEA……..OH —- YEA….. OH”
The Kool Aid guy is in it?
Macho Man Randy Savage is.
Is that the basic soundtrack? I’m in a computer lab so I had to mute it.
Just imagine what “Nunchuck jousting” would’ve been like if he had made it that far.
I have got to say, my first thoughts were of the old TMNT movie.
Go ninja go ninja go.
Okay. Let’s get something straight right here and now.
I’m not British.
I wasn’t on the “Show Off” fail late yesterday afternoon (eastern u.s. time).
I’ve never watched an episode of Dr. Who; and
I don’t believe I’ve ever played a rpg.
But, from what I’ve discovered by going back and reviewing….
Somebody Owes Me Some Booze and Cookies!!!
*hands Judy cookies and a half gone bottle of booze*
Here you go. Saved you some.
Bwuaahahahahaaaaaa….!
You’re supposed to drink it all and say, ‘My half was on the bottom’
I just snarfed my coffee reading this, thanks guys. *has had two nice shirts get coffee’d this week thanks to the good people at fail blog*
Thank you, kind aikiwaza!
Nummers! Rum & snickerdoodles!
Also, I had a key in my pocket yesterday, and now it’s gone. Did anyone see it?
I would look to BondFan for that one. He may have seen it.
*Walks away whistling innocently*
*looks sheepishly at Judy*
Well, waddaya know! I have your key in my pocket! I wonder how THAT got in there!
All I know is, yesterday I came in and the TARDIS was gone. I had to take the DeLorean to run my errands. Although, I’m not complaining… that car’s a real chick magnet.
Hey, I thought you were a fox. So why are you trying to pick up…
Oh my god!
*looks up, mouth full of feathers*
Forry, I wafm’t lifening. What were wou faying?
*ahem*
That had BETTER be a boa!
*spits out little bird, still alive*
Um… we were just playing a game…
Uh-huh, just make sure it STAYS that way.
*looks down and scuffs shoes*
Yes ma’am.
Here, try a cookie instead.
*hands Hammy a chocolate chip cookie*
Mmm. Taftef much bettew.
*subliminal message* watch loadingreadyrun.com *subliminal message*
nice but the matrix-guy was better
Captain Obvious told me he was going to rack himself, but then it got so much better with the skateboard! Props to Nun-Chuck there for not being a stereotype

failblog mentioned at 13:06
you’re ruining the point, geko.
This is a very old video. On Collegehumor i think its called “failing at two cool things is equal to being good at one normal thing”.
This does not make it any less funny.
I guess the whole system rests on what is deemed as “cool.”
Cool is in the eye of the beholder?
That’s what I keep telling myself at least.
Or the beer holder.
*is holding beer*
*Looks Avis in the eye*
Yup, she’s cool
Why thank you!
double fail anyone?
No thanks! I already did this week.
Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen, it was still funny.
ALSO… you Failblog-posters are hilarious. I love reading your comments as much as I like the Failblog pics/videos.
Isn’t this from a LoadingReadyRun video? A video about them going viral?
So meta…
It seems that they have achieved critical success in the field of viral….ity.
Not a word but I don’t care.
LoadingReadyRun nonPHAIL.
I miss my 6pm Fail. Why haven’t they posted another one?
Apparently it’s DST where the fails are made.
Ah, that makes sense.
Note to self – check Failblog at 5pm.
Ah, that makes sense.
Note to self
I totally did not expect THAT to happen! I mean… how could you hit yourself with a nunchuck?? That’s impossible! They’ve designed that for stupid people so that they won’t hit themself. So that stupid people could fight too.
I mean… just woow!
Ow! My Balls!
UNRELATED HEADLINE: BERNIE MADOFF TO PLEAD GUILTY ON 11 CHARGES OF FRAUD.
RELATED TO UNRELATED HEADLINE: DID ANYONE REALLY THINK HE WAS INNOCENT?
You can just sort of see the fail coming there, can’t you?
It’s actually called Old English Biathlon: Hitting yourself with nunchuck first, then tripping over skateboard. Almost as popular as street racing right next to the police station.
I didn’t see that one coming…
Hopefully he’ll be made infertile so he won’t be able to spread his stupid genes.
According to the biblical movie, “Idiocracy,” (hope I spelled that right..) he will have twenty children.
KIBADOOOO, usura não filhote!

How much languages you know?
At times, I think I struggle with the one.
*gives a “many” and a “do” to rafael, so he can also say he knows many languages.
EPIC FAILZ
I say it’s a double fail…Nunchuck and skateboard!
And he had a win…demonstrating pain
Still, you never get bored of seen the same thing but diferent dumb..HAHAHAHAHAHA
Double fail for tripping on the Skateboard right after hitting yourself in the balls

W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-HAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT?
this was totally planned…well at least he made it on fail blog
Just glancing at the title,I know it was gonna be a good one.
Of course! As the law of nunchucks states: “In any given incedent, the level of awesomeness is directly proportional to the involvement of nunchucks.”
By “awesomeness”, you meant “stupidity”, right?
(P.S.: the correct spelling is “incident”.)
It was a typo.
*kersplortch*
Ah — and here I thought he was trying to spell “indecent”.
fake…he delibiratly steps of the skateboard for added dramatic effect….fake
I finally have an avatar!
Uh, try again, Artie.
An avatar’s an avatar… whether it’s a geometric pattern or something else.
In its original meaning, the term “avatar” refers to an incarnation (lit., a “descent”) of a Divine Being in an earthly form. The gods Rama and Krishna, for example, are avatars of the God, Vishnu. (Jesus, for those who see him as god, can also be considered an avatar.)
It would appear eArtrash has chosen to incarnate as a floral pattern.
Also the title of the main character in the “Ultima” series.
We here and that man, this man, and that other in-between,
and that woman, this woman, and that other, whoever,
those people, and these, and those others in-between,
this thing, that thing, and this other in-between, whichever,
all things dying, these things, those things, those others in-between,
good things, bad things, things that were, that will be,
being all of them,
he stands there.

Wow.
This is a fail of epic proportions.
He will not have children.
He won’t much of anything anymore
I like the loving friend/camera holder’s hyena laugh in the background…

Ha Ha Bye Bye Kids!!
Sucks for him!!
Or does it???
wow good job LRR never thought you would hit this far! and seeing all these assholes commenting is totally epic!
Numb-nuks?
I don’t think he meant wood in quite that manner.
thats a double fail.. nuts then falling over scateboard
falling over what?
*THWACK!* That was you, buddy.
That was the sound of you, suckin’ at life!
Oh, wow, somebody found yet another video of a guy hitting himself in the nuts with nunchucku.
You fail at failing.
New thread started. I sent the request today.
Great.
I am so glad to have learned the “?cp=all” trick to finding comments, aren’t you?
I would either get a headache or nauseous from the scrolling. After a bit I would give up.
(If I am double-posting, I apologise. I think the Failblog moster got hungry.)
How long have you been around Failblog? I have only been posting about a month, viewing for 3.
> monster.
See? He ate an “n,” too.
He likes alphabet soup.
I think I started in July or August. This is the only blog that I’ve commented on. Correction. I did do a few comments in the political blog. I was baiting political extremists. They’re so easy. Just ask a straight forward question and off they go. I sound like a troll don’t I?
You viewed for three months? I don’t think that I could bite my tongue for that long.
It’s after 12:30 and time for me to mosey off to bed. Good night Sidhe. See you later.
We’ll have to ask Sqwerlly to tell BOGGY to keep up his chore of feeding the Failblog monster, or no crunchy champagne glasses from DW’s party for him.
.
I think I was the only one up on New Year’s Eve that hadn’t either passed out, or gone to bed for, uh, one reason or another. That big fat “0″ comments stared at me for almost an hour, but I was too shy. I could have posted on the first day of the first month at 1:11 am. It is not important for me to be first, though. I am happy just to laugh.
‘Nite.
*reconsiders*
*Confides that it was a joke to prevent troll backlash before it starts*
It was 1:11 a.m. my time; and the “0″ was there ‘cos it wasn’t there. Hee!
*shakes head at self*
I am not sure everyone understands my humo(u)r. I am better in person.
Re-cap Compound fail!, Falling on the skateboard was a nice added measure.
Aw. Crap!! I hit my ballls XD
You all fail. This video wins for faking viralness.
Yeah, it’s pretty clearly Graham from LoadingReadyRun, and I’d wager that that’s Morgan holding the camera. Interesting though, that the fake video will only generate publicity for LRR by us commenters pointing it out.
Actually it’s Matt holding the camera with the hyena laugh. There’s a longer video where Morgan runs into frame as Graham is getting up and kicks him in the balls again.
Two words: “Darwin WIN”
Your all retarted, this was done on purpose, go to loadingreadyrun.com
wait a sec… isn’t that Graham and James from LoadingReadyRun?
*looks again*
Yeah it is…. wow…
Typicall =D
Specially that skateboard at the end XD
It’s a scientifically proven fact that as soon as you start waving around nunchucks with a video camera rolling you are guaranteed to hit yourself in the balls. There is only one person who has ever escaped this fate in the history of home videos, and we call him “Afro Ninja”
OOOHHHH he needs a sperm transplant
numchucks? hmm…. maybe NUTchucks
YOU SUUUCCKKKK!!!!
This was posted earlier and contained a final third fail at the end which was the icing on the cake. Please refrain from ripping other fails. FAIL FAIL.
What he is trying to pull off (if I’m not mistaken) is one of the most basic nunchuck training forms. Part of it involves hitting yourself in the leg pretty close to the crotch, and I’ve seen people nail themselves in the groin when they first try it. It happened to a friend of mine. It’s one of the reasons why I stick to bo staffs. Staves. Whatever. Point is, weapon class noobs are amusing.
It’s just classic for this to happen. I like the camera-man’s laugher better >D
Flail.
You guyz realise that this was done on purpose… to promote http://www.loadingreadyrun.com right? just watch commodoreHUSTLE episode 6- viral
That laugh annoys the hell out of me and will always for the rest of my life.
LMFAO!!!!!!!!
nutchucks
rite in the gonads
Wow! I never saw that coming! Maybe I should start watching Funniest Home Videos.
#163
Did anyone else notice that the guy in the video is Graham Stark from Unskippables and LoadingReadyRun?
This dude now has 4 balls…
