Apparently they couldn’t afford an X. It is an 8-point letter.
Real FIRST
I’m ashamed to have the same name as you!
I’m ashamed that I have name.
im ashamed of this blog
I’m ashamed to be reading this blog
I’m ashamed of being ashamed of other ashamid people being ashamed
why would they need an x?
Exceptions, not acceptions
You just failed the exact same way they did. I’m ashamed lol.
Perhaps by “some acceptions” they mean
“we will also accept some things”.
Perhaps it is not a fail at all, instead a misinterpretation by everybody here.
Although, it is probably a fail.
the only way i see to post a msg as close to the beginning as possble
yep, it works
I’m ashamed of this blog even existing! and i’m ashamed that others
would actually put terrible naughty pictures on this site! I’m ashamed
of myself even being on this shameful blog!
I’m ashamed of your being ashamed message is so shamefully long.
I have a point for your X.
No seas tan capullo.
¿
Cómo adivinasteQué te hace suponer que me refería al capullo?I’m sorry, i don’t speak Spanish.
I speak all languages accept those spoke outside of the continental U.S.
So all languages then.
Huh…
you fail.
I speak all languages accept those spoken inside my head.
Which are they?
(Morning everyone…failing from home for the moment…you all have different avatars…)
And…just missed my bus…
Are they very old avatars? Do I still have that eighties goth haircut and the mascara? The shame!
More importantly, are they accoriable?
Good morning Mal. Sorry about the bus. At least you didn’t miss the boat.
I always seem to make the boat with out acception (unlike some things…) *grins*
*roffles and cream*
I will be over to give you a ride Malicite. Gimme 5 minutes.
*squeeze*
Thank you Leila! *squeeze*
Malicite is riding LEILA?!?!
“except” all languages–spelling fail
Thanks for noticing the running joke with the use of accept instead of except, given the context of the fail, to which these are comments.
Apparently third grade wasn’t enough.
*giggle*
English is spoken outside the U.S. So why can you speak that?
I guess you can only speak those sparsely populated Native American languages.
Sadly most of those post world war two are known worldwide, and to
simplify that canada and mexico have many of those languages
spoken among their native tribes so basically he would be completely
unable to comprehend any language whatsoever
lol fail
Your post hurts my brain. It should read “except”, not “accept” and “spoken”, not “spoke” go back to the engrish forum from whence thou came.
wow these guys double fail*
*no exceptions
accept those spoken outside the US? Apparently you don’t know English very well. Maybe you mean ‘except’? Learn your own language. Please.
FAIL!
It’s ‘except’, not ‘accept’.
It’s one of your best points. Aunque hay otras. Apetito insaciable, por ejemplo.
¡Hombre! yo deseo seguro yo podría comprender español!
Let me guess – Google translate? Another classic fail.
Yep! I don’t speak Spanish, so I just used a free translator for the laugh. What does it actually say, out of curiosity?
It gets your general meaning across, albeit clumsily. I have seen instances where Google translate makes a complete hash of things.
Pero la diferencia no se puede dejar a nosotros!
Ok… Seeing as I’m only in Spanish one… hmmmmm
“But the difference is not…” something something “…to us.”
Note to self… study my freaking lists.
That one started as something like “But the computers can never fail us”, then Google Translated from:
English -> Spanish “Pero los equipos no pueden dejar a nosotros!!”
Spanish -> English “But teams can not leave us!”
English -> Arabic “ولكن الفرق لا يمكن أن تترك لنا!”
Arabic -> Spanish “Pero la diferencia no se puede dejar a nosotros!”
Which GT thinks means: “But the difference can not be left to us!”
Which is exactly what I meant. Of course.
No estoy en la oficina en este momento. Por favor enviar cualquier trabajo a ser traducido.
Tego una gata en mis pantalones!
…if you catch the reference…
Something about a cat in your pants?
Like I said… if you catch the reference. As in a movie reference.
Eres muy amable, pero tengo un traductor personal quien me sirve muy bien, en efecto.
Comentarios GANÓ”T NIDO debajo de este nivel
HI MOOKIE!
Very funny, eartrash!!! Hiya!!!
El gato con pantalones mui frijoles es limpar el carro de la pappasitos e taco con saguaros frio…vaia con Dios!
¿Qué?
Hmm, hamburger, Uncle Sam thankyouverymuch, London bridge is falling down?
Si.
Solamente es insaciable cuando el menú es delicioso, delicado y apetitoso.
Te apetece lo mismo como ayer? O prefieres algo diferente?
Lo de ayer fue delicioso, aunque mi lengua se quedó con ganas de participar un poco más.
Jajaja, muy bueno el traductor… la de barbaridades que habré escrito yo por ahí por culpa del google translator
Me parece que tu lengua ha hecho suficiente en g-mail, no? Sin duda merece un descanso…
¿Merece un descanso o merece que la muerda?
Yo puedo hacer eso para ti, amado.
So this is the actual reason of global warming, huh? ¬¬
We beat any price and accept some unusual forms of payment. Your first born, body parts and baseball cards are all part of the acceptions
i dont get the fail… could you explain it to me please?
Hmmmm… an accplaination…. how do I do this….
Try giving a few accamples Fluffy.
Have you played the Lotto today Marius?
I’ve been played out, played the fool, played the game, played possum and have even been played, but I’ve never played Lotto.
i hope you will die of happiness and loud laughter you sons of silly men…
I’m so acccited for the accplaination
Accactly, I’m accited to see so many accellent accamples.
*accits stage left*
*facepalm* ok, I just read the sign AGAIN, and this time I paid more attention. Forgive my prior posts, I get it now. It’s been a long day.
Are both the fails on “Acceptions”?
Yep. It’s like saying “WE WILL BEAT ANY PRICE, except those which is cheaper!”. And then there is the obvious spelling mistake.
Except those which ARE cheaper.
Accept those that are cheaper. (And you’ll save money)
It’s a good thing I’m not making signs for a living
It’s only some of the way correct.
True. Now I think it’s a religious sign…they just mixed-up an anagram:
We’ll Beat.
Pray Nice.
That’s just a trick! It’s also an anagram for “Wily Preteen Cabal”!
Spooky huh?
Let’s hope they accept the exceptions to their offer.
I think you mean acceptions?
LOL
I ACCEPT!
Let’s hope you have low accpectations.
Odds are low that he wins. Still, he’d better prepare an exceptions speech.
You are accessively cautious Czuhc.
I think you’re accaggerating, Marius.
I accpect you’ve said that a million times.
Now you sound just like my acc.
accectly.
Accaxctly what I was thinking.Hahaha, this thread is really accelerating!
Whoa Dragon, you’re up acctra early today!
*Coffee squeeze*
Accpertly done.
*groan*
Tell me about it. I predict I’ll last four hours before I fall on my face.
I except!
I think you can say that about any store. That is, unless the store is overpriced in every department.
Obviously it means they only accept some forms of payment!
No payments in goats?
…and no payments in camels?
Probably not.. Since they are no acceptions.
And how much is that in pubes?Oh gawd! You didn’t just go there…
May I pay in pencil shavings?
ACCEPTED!! *thuds stamp on FSA’s forehead*
What did he buy?
I think it was a walrus tusk. Can’t be sure ’till it arrives in the mail, though.
Must be one of those some tribesman wear on their penis.
For protection, the ol’ natural way?
No, it’s a tradition.
But I don’t know the English word for it..
The English don’t have tribesmen – you’re thinking of the Scots.
Which would be clans not tribes…this joke really doesn’t work.
*gnashes teeth*
I don’t know what he bought but it’s SOLD!!!
Mabye it’s Hairy’s name!
What do you mean maybe? You bought it, you should know. So, what it is really?
It still hasn’t arrived via air-mail. So I don’t know what it is yet.
Well, keep me posted.
Sorry, it's from South Park.I ♥ South Park. I just can never catch all the shows.
I ♥ kids. I just can never finish a whole one.
So, you have an unfinished kid somewhere?
The baby’s IQ wasn’t high enough. Gotta eat the smart ones.
*straps-on leather*
*looks for Annie Price*
Do tell us what Annie Sez when you find her.
Probably will say “Ow! Stop beating me!”
There’s always a catch!
Accept when there isn’t
What?
Well, are you using the right worm?
Is there a worm left?
Now it looks more like a rod?
But when the wrong worm goes in the right ear. . .
There’s not a lot left?
We’ll beat any price!
(as long as its lower than ours)
Its HIGHER than ours damnit.
Hey, I take exception to that
I am 27th with no exceptions.
I accepted…
I intercepted…
Accept it Ross!
Looks like I missed some good fail pie while I was gone.
It also looks like they now wont give me a correctly spelled discount on my fail pie.
“Replace waste toner tank at the time of toner container exchange surely, and do charge wire cleaning”
This message just came out of our Xerox. I replaced the toner tank and container but I’m not sure I did it surely, nor do I know how much I have to charge for the wire cleaning, which I didn’t do. There was no exchange.
Help?
It’s your Xerox, so you should make a good price for the wire cleaning. 10 Euro, maybe?
Or a few Japanese yen.
Or european rupees?
Or american cheeseburgers?
Or Russian MiGs?
Always hated when the news said that. They’re ALL Russian!
The news are all Russian?
No, no., you’re supposed to pay someone else to do the wire cleaning (it’s dangerous!) And It’s supposed to be surly not surely. It took me awhile to get it as well…
And stop calling me shirley
No need to get surly about it.
Be fair – if you didn’t do the wire cleaning you shouldn’t charge acctra for it.
Don’t worry about it!

This really makes me wanna shop. I’m sure the ‘Acceptions’ or exceptions are Cigs, liquor, and guns.
can’t see what’s wrong
*Cars may participated in steroid usage.
can someone tell me the fail. i don’t get it? X_x
How do you not get it? Are you foreign?well not rly, but english isn’t my main language so it might be that i don’t understand the joke?
but thanks fr the friendly answer ~.~
They're saying that they'll beat any price, but then say there are exceptions. Which defeats the purpose. The second fail is that they used 'acceptions' instead of 'exceptions.ah lol xD
thanks for the friendly answer ( this time without ironic thouch )
Sorry, I'm sometimes an asshole.*steals the first ‘h’ in thouch*
*adds the ‘h’ to his letterbox*
A win-win situation.
You have a letterbhox?
Wow you guys are morons.
The question is why is this a “double fail?” Because of the double meaning? Whoever captioned this picture needs a little refresher course in grammar.
Dude… it IS a double fail.
#1 is that they shouldn’t call it “any price”, if there are exceptions.
#2 is the accstra creative misspelling.
kthxbye.
Definitely American.
We always have a few foreigners who have trouble with a few words. I wasn't sure if this might be the case.I am a foreigner who happens to be American. I know exactly what you are talking about. You are sweet.
You do realize that you and I are foreigners from, say, Arthur or czuhc’s perspective, right? (And maybe soon from Leila’s, if Texas secedes from the US, like the rest of the country hopes and prays they will.)
Rude, you are.
Neutral observation, or do you have a stake in the Texas issue?
(PS It would never happen, if anyone is wondering.)
No, I am far from Texas but it was still rude
I know it’ll never happen.
Let the Texans have their own country! *thinks that would be awesome*
That would last for about…10 min…
And 18 seconds.
17.4, if my calculations are correct.
Please let the Texans HAVE IT!!! They are the meanest, rudest people I have ever ran into my whole life.
They are not ‘mean’ on purpose.. Just asocial and selfish..
*Now starting to regret opening up this can o’ Lonestar beer, errr, worms.*
MRN, not to worry. I am over it.
LOL Bald. I could add many more descriptive names for them…but I have to be nice.
?!?!?!
Some of my best wifi and internet friends are texans.
Really? Where in TX?
I’ll get back to you on that, I’ve forgotten. I don’t exactly memorize where in other countries, you know? Not many people do. :S
your friends are texans wi-fi and intenet? WICKED!
You do realize statements like this alienate you from the smarter, wiser, (wittier) and more global thinking FAILBlog users, right?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhahahahahah!!!! Thanks, I needed that.
Caution: Foreign objects may appear closer than they are.
Does that mean i DID hit that plate of macaroni on the way to work?
Who looks at a plate of macaroni and thinks “Yeah, I’d hit that”? Come to think of it, where would you even witness a plate of plain macaroni?
I OBJECT!!! Just cuz I am a foreigner it doesn’t make me an object.
All americans are, or came from foreigners, except the Native
Americans, who are all but wiped out.
… Who came from Asia.
After coming from Africa. After evolving from early hominids. Do I need to go further?
Quick question: Why did the hominids lose their fur?
I don’t know. Last I read, there was still some debate in the scientific community, but that book was from the early 90s.
Because fur is just a fashion fad that quickly ran out?
To get to the other side?
Wouldn’t surprise me if that debate was still going on. I fail to see the advantage in losing fur. Where’s Darwin?
I’ve seen some pretty damn furry hominids. I think it’s still
evolving (see valentine fail)
I think hominids lost their fur because the differences between
the temperatures at day and night got less. And they started to
build/search for places to live in.. So they didn’t need it anymore.
-
Maybe a goat ate it when they where skinny-dipping in the lake..?
Nice explanation. Now tell me: Why didn’t the monkeys, lions or mice?
Ah, that makes things a bit more complicated.. But I guess every
class of animals has a certain possibility to evolve.. And since
humans have a higher possibility to evolve they lost their hair..
-
Another option: DNA.. if you have black hair.. You might have 2
strings in it. 1 for black 1 for blonde, if your partner has the same
thing their is 25% chance you get a blond child. If the ‘less hair’ gen
comes together with a higher intellegence. Then in the end the
fur would simply go away..
-
And Lions don’t do skinny-dipping.
I wanted to add that black hair would go over blond hair.
And so 1black,1blond makes black.
-
The ones with the higher intelligence survive because they are
more inventive and they use their creativity to find their food,
get the girl and everything else.
It has something to do with the way humans sweat.
Evolution is never over.
.
Every living being has DNA.
.
Still, humans are the only naked Mammals. Why???
.
And another one to twist your mind: Why do wounds start to itch long before you should scratch? An open door for infections!
*head accsplodes*
Questions like these make me believe that, if creationists are right, God did a sloppy job.
You don’t build the playground right next to the sewer!
So that’s why I never do well at SimCity.
Well evolution is never over. I didn’t say they are keeping their
fur forever… But hey.
.
Every living being has DNA, but not every living being has the same
DNA nor the mutations.
.
Some pigs are also naked, and there are types of dogs and cats
that are naked. So humans are not the only ones. And ‘naked’ is not the right word because everyone has hair, over their whole body, but not as much as it used to be.
.
Wounds start to itch because of the new cells, when alot of new cells grow it itches not sure why.. But I bet your balls where itchie when you started to grow pubes.
(sorry for being gross)
And I’m not sure about any of this shit
Pigs, cats and dogs were bred to be furless. And your argument is missing my point. Why should it ever be an advantage for a mammal to be furless? We see that furry animals do well in hot areas as well as in cold areas. I think it’s strange and not really within the logic of evolution that we lost our fur.
.
About the wounds: My point is here, that it starts to itch way too early. In that stage of the healing process it isn’t good to scratch or you might get an infection. Normally evolution should have erased those whose wounds start to itch early so that those whose wounds itch late (or not at all) would have an advantage. Obviously that didn’t happen.
I believe it had something to do with swimming and spreading disease.
The reason wounds might itch could be to remind us that they need to be cleaned in order to prevent infection as water provides relief from the itching. Sorry to butt in if this was a private teta a tete.
But I can never remember for sure.
Arthur, the easiest explanation might be that early hominids had a preference for less hairy mates. Parasites are a big problem for mammals, and our early ancestors and distant relatives groom to get rid of them. It could have become a sign of “good health” to have less parasites due to the reduced quantity of hair. This type of selective mating may have required a level of brain and social development not achieved in other mammals.
.
I don’t know for sure…just thinking out loud.
Best explanation on this matter I heard so far! In fact, it’s so good that I will not ask why it’s different with other monkey-species…oh wait…
Well, I tried to trump that counter-argument. There are differences in communication sophistication and social capabilities between humans and other primates that may account for the preference difference.
I was just kidding
You might be right. As I said, it’s the best explanation I’ve heard so far.
It’s Darwinism. When man discovered fire all of the hairy humans burst into flames leaving the hairless to rule the world.
.
I believe it has something to do with the development of a more efficient cooling system. Perspiration evaporates off the skin instead of being absorbed by hair. It all ties in with standing upright and being active during the heat of the day when our competitors are resting. Try reading The Ascent of Man by Bronowsky.
Humans did not evolve the same way other animals did. We’ve become hairless, clawless, with mediocre teeth and we’re not very strong. Yet we kill all our natural enemies using our big brains and tools.
We lost our hair because we didn’t need it anymore. Like the Admiral said, it was a hazard with all the parasites living in it. We do have some left because we find it sexually attractive. We’ve also developed the sweating cooling system and the ability to create clothing and shelter.
No one ever said evolution was perfect. It’s not. If it was perfect, there would be no diseases, and we’d all live happily ever after. With our unicorns.
Sounds reasonable, Marius and fluffy. Although I don’t know why humans were active while others were resting. The Spanish still hold siesta when it’s hot…
.
fluffy, surely nobody says that. But a change like that has to have huge advantages. Which I fail to see, even if parasites and cooling might be an answer. Considering diseases – they (bacteria and viruses) evolve too.
.
But thank you all, I now find that mystery a little less mysterical.
In the early stages we had to hide from predators as they had all of the advantages before we armed ourselves. To survive we needed to be active when they were inactive during the heat of the day.
Ugh! Bronowski, not Bronowsky!
Ok. Aren’t there other animals in Africa that are furry AND active during the day?
Yes, but they are four legged with the head closer to the ground and have developed other defensive abilities. We developed the advantage of standing erect so as to scan the horizon in search of food or predators and exposing our brains to higher temperatures. Hair stays on the head to protect the brain while the body is converted to a blood cooling unit.
You should pick up the Bronowski book, I have been digging through the empty space in my head but can only remember snippets. I guess it is time for me to pick it up again.
I think we all get it LR3rd. I am just saying it bothers me when Americans call other Americans foregners or tell them to go back to their
own country.
ACK!!! I am NOT Texan!!!!!!
I hate this place. I am moving back in a two year time frame. 
-
PS: I am originally from E Africa!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! …and no, I don’t call myself African since I am a mutt (Italian / Indian / E African). I am EVERYTHING!!! *angelic music plays from the heavens as a bright light surrounds me*
I had to live in Texas for about 4.2 seconds at the end on High school, I graduated early just to get the hell out.
My father was born and raised in Texas, then West Virginia.
I, for one, am glad he turned out okay.
Me too LRT.
-
I made a general, stereotypical comment about Texans. I am sure there are many who are decent. I just fear for my life and my family’s when we drive on the streets and freeways.
I KNOW! they don’t quite understand the left lane=fast, right lane=slow.
North East Ohio all my life. Italian descent. (sp?)
Foreigner everywhere I go.
I’m half Irish, half Cajun/Creole… try explaining that one. When I tell people that they always wonder why I’m white, like all Cajuns are dark skinned.
I take exception to your acception.
Deal!
Good morning everyone.
*G’morning squeeze*
& YAY for the dying cold!
Thanks. Can’t wait ’till the damn thing goes away. I’ve already had a cold throughout all of March, so I don’t need a second cold before half the year is even over.
*squeeze*
*uses gobs of Purell when near FSA* Did you know that taking antibiotics kills the good germs in your system which makes you more suceptible to catching more colds? It’s a catch 22.
I knew that. That’s why I refuse taking antibiotics. Nice to see someone else who knows hat the stuff actually does.
I don’t take them either.. But I don’t know this.. I never use them because every
positive has a negative. And when curing something like a cold you’ve got the
chance that you catch another.. (that’s what mom said 13 years ago..)
Here, Leila, catch!
*throws a 22*
AW! Thanks Brewski. Next time wait for me to turn around.
Boobie!! I can’t believe I just said that but … *squeeze*
*Squeezes the LEILA too*
SCORE!
When I lived in Laramie, Wyoming there was a farmers market on the edge of town that had a sign “We exept food stamps.” Another double fail.
When I lived in Lommel, Belgium. There was a farmers market on the edge of
town that had a sign “allé fritten, vor mar 3 francen” Another double fail.
They all come in pairs today, I see.
accectly!
asodi
It looks like they were clever enough to put a registered trademark on the phrase “We’ll Beat Any Price”. Does that actually mean no one else is allowed to say that? How does that work?
i usually accept my beatings
except for some
Oh.. I thought you’d except them..
accept for a few..
I expected you will not except any of my acceptions.
Thank you for removing my name from your “name”.
Hey Leila, since you hate Apple you’ll love this fake ad. (Warning: a quick F bomb, but otherwise safe.) (click)
.
Videos from Slate don’t always run well in some versions of Firefox – might need to open in IE.
And if you hate Apple, you therefore must have IE anyway.
BLOCKED by big brother. I will check it out when I get home MRN.
That “some acceptions” is probably there because some smartass thought to ask them, “I got this car from my brother for free. Can you beat that price?”
We will give you 20 bucks, just take it!
I wish it could be christmas everyday.
Going back to yesterday’s thread on common usage errors…
“Everyday” means “ordinary” or “commonplace”.
“Every day” means “all the time”.
Please learn the difference.
Thanks for that, but it was a typo. You failed to notice my incorrect capitalization on the word “Christmas”. Please learn to scrutinize comments a little bit more. Good day.
D’oh. Well played, sir.
Why? After a while, life would get boring.
I think that was on a Disney Christmas special my kids watch, with Huey, Dewey and Louie? I can only find the video in Portuguese.
I live in Canada. We don’t get the Disney channel. I’ve certainly heard of it a few times, but since I’ve never seen it, I don’t know what sort of show you’re talking about. I hope you understand
No, I don’t!
…I think I know what you are talking about, but since I have never heard you say it I cant be sure, maybe if I hear it in Canada.
WhatIKnow, what do you know?
that is a guarantee thats hard to resist!!
i mean seriously, ANY PRICE!!!!! THAT IS AWSOME!!!!!!
With some acceptions…
MAJOR STUPIDITY
This is not a fail. It is an obvious play on words. :rollseyes:
May I also point out that they should be using “exceptions” not “acceptions”
OMGosh, I cant help but wonder what hick town that store is in! Yeeee Hawww!
RT
http://www.privacy-resources.us.tc
Robstown, TX
i can’t except that!
you guys realize this is a double fail, right?
This sign was in Robstown, Texas, (just outside Corpus Christi) it has since been taken down
gotta love those small texas hick towns..
Robstown is NOT a hick town. Especially considering like two people in my graduating class of 225 were white, the rest were Hispanic (and one African-American).
Anyway, that sign had been there for at least 5 years, and I always passed by it thinking “Nobody has thought about changing that sign?”
Multiple Fails. The contradiction, the grammar, the spelling, the punctuation, the changing from normal title text i.e. capitalising the first letter in each word to all caps mid sentence, three different fonts.
I think they have managed to get almost as much wrong as is possible.
Not a fail. By Acceptions they mean that they will refund you if you buy the same product cheaper then they sell it for. They probably should make it clearer though.
I think I spy a triple fail…obviously, the spelling, the outright stating of having exceptions, and the aptly placed sign tacked underneath: “Have you been played today?” lol
oops, guess that just says “Have you played today?” I could’ve sworn it included “been”; guess I was just influenced by the main sign.
lol, funny
i imagine that this company is out of business?
funny and silly
errrrr should say that but smaller
THREE HUNDREDTH! Anyway, what’s with the (presumably paper) sign below the main sign?
