dude, even pure beeswax candles leave wax. that’s why they’ve been used
for centuries for lighting, because you can collect the wax, re melt it, and re-dip
the candles. it’s one way orthodox churches raise money, from the candles people
light in front of the icons. the collect the wax, and make new candles.
this is so totally possible, I would have loved to be the one that got this call to tech support!

I think he/she is just commenting on the fact that your prepositional phrase is not really correct, and that if it were… there wouldn’t have been an issue because the candle wouldn’t be above the computer. i think?
This pic is old, you can find it in the old postings. Stop recycling old pictures. I’ve submitted many new ones that have not even been posted, yet you are recycling old pictures?
I agree with thatcollegedood (and other people who made the same argument but whose comments I skipped to get down to the bottom so I could write my own comment). It looks like a really old laptop. My friend offered me to borrow a laptop that was the same model as that. I turned it down because it had less computing power than a Commodore 64 with a flaming pick-axe through it. So it could easily have been rigged as a publicity stunt.
Actually – if that would be refrigerated/cooled well, it should pop off pretty cleanly. And it would pull a lot of crap out of the keyboard in the process.
I think the guy was having some sort of party, put a candle on the shelf with a tiny pie pan for a holder, which was most definitely a genius idea, along with a mini cake, where he was eating, left his laptop open, got drunk, and passed out while his friends took this picture.
people who you’re glad to not be, +1

Darn… Should have read the warning labor on the candle….
Labor can be very dangerous.
it may be art in progress
I was that guy with my iMac once, did manage to get rid of it though :$
wtf is a :$ ? \= |
i like how the CANDLE leaks over, but there’s a fork next to his computer, indicating he was eating next to it earlier?
I like how everyone that uses “his” assumes that something so stupid can only be done by a man =D
true…women are usually teh ones with candles
Notice the incense and the beer bottle. I “assume” it’s a dude and he was stoned, he got something to eat and then forgot what he was in the kitchen for and woke up on the laundry room floor with linoleum marks on his face and a need for a new computer.
N00B
maybe when he watched porn and ejaculated it smelled bad to he had to light a candle
why the hell is there no plate then? he just ate with a fork? :O
maybe he was trying to get the wax off with the fork
He wax off with a fork?!?! Ouch! Epic fail!
i wax off wit ur hair
LOL GOOD ON E!
its ok, its only Microsoft….they deserved it!
Who cares – it’s a Dell…
Somehow i don’t think this is covered by the warranty.
This is my ex-girlfriend’s computer! I actually picked the candlewax off myself… CRAZY to see this on failblog!
When I first looked at this I thought Boggy had sneezed all over his laptop.
Sneezed or … ?
You don’t want to know.
I find it’s good for the touch pad.

LOLOL yes plz

Candle’s fine. It’s more of a placement fail.
Nope….definitely a candle fail…it shouldn’t have overflowed…
Hmmm…perhaps they were trying to preserve the laptop for future generations…or perhaps they were just drunk of their asses (see bottle).
‘off’ their asses
…I fail myself.
Drinking of the ass…hmmm. You know, that’s as expensive as a colonic irrigation gets.

If you need any help with the clean up, C Konopacky might have some ideas. He had himself a melt down recently too.
LOL this happened to me once with my 360 controller
Awwww….poor you. How long were you without internet?
thats what she said
I’d say it’s a candle win and a laptop placement fail.
Agreed. No need to blame the innocent candle.
Uhm… the wax is supposed to burn up – not melt all over the place. Cheap candles have other crap in them so they don’t burn up properly.
Definitely candle fail.

The fail is in the fork: a spoon would be the right tool to eat that stuff.
Some pigs have been known to forego utensils entirely.
Those pigs had to develop a strong and flexible tongue.
Part 2 of the interview should identify candidates with strong oral skills.
Oh, I can speak in two different languages (one of them not very well)… do you think I would qualify for Part 3 of the interview process?
Just between you and me, I think the interview is just a formality. I would say the job is yours, if you want it. Have you thought about your job title?
Title and salary are not very important for me; I want that job because of the great benefits and brilliant career path it offers.
You can definitely build a future with that company. Are you willing to relocate?
That sounds like an interesting possibility. Do you think partnership is an option?
You are absolutely partner material. If that is the position you aspire to, you should definitely ask your interviewer about it.
I will ask about this position on the interview… after trying other positions with the interviewer.
It’s important to stay flexible, and to be on top of things.
Geez, you two – get a room!
And a camera.

Wait, what.
“in front of their computer?”

wait, you dont? Those are essential computing devices!
given the fork on the left, buba thinks the man is using his laptop as a plate. Moreover, he must be waxovorous.

Laptop’s old anyway, I think this is just an excuse to get a new one. Any excuse is good to get new technology.
It may not be that old … definitely stuffed, but not definitely old.
I mean, I had a computer that looked ancient, but the hardware was pretty up-to-date.
Mind you, that was in 1998.
…Hahaha. XD Poor man.
Sorry guys, haven’t been on Fail Blog for a few days.
You see, I’ve just had some trouble with my laptop…
Did you at least get a chance to finish eating?

Wait it’s a PC….umm…WIN!
Should’ve gotten a mac. They’re so much more resistant to melting candles.
A mac probably would have moved itself out of the way using avoidcandle.app or some other such brilliance.
Pretty sure that can be fixed. It’ll be a pain to get all of the keys out of the wax though…
Probably cheaper just to buy a new candle.
They could change the keys, of course, but I wouldn’t go above a G#/Ab.
I would recommend putting it into an oven, and reheat…
more like candle win, computer fail

you know some one was looking at some crazy porn
All i got to say is WOW who the heck would leave a candle on for that long without checking on it at all??? wow they wuld be that dumbbbbb
Luckly its a dell and not a mac
uumm wat is that i c that e1 is calling it candle but no offence but it looks like throw up its nasty and funny at the same time
lol
ROFL i laught of the proprietary of the computer
thats happend 2 me
This would never have happened to a Mac. No, seriously. They’re so overheated the wax would keep running… might have even burnt off.
as if we needed more proof of the evilness of candles
when i first looked at that i looked like goo.
aww that sucks
woah………. what happened to candles with the glass around it…. and i have the laptop………………………………………*checks laptop….*
