DOT ORG!!!
DOH!
I like the DOT ORG!! part. It was the ‘whatever’ win before the replay that annoyed me.
Woohoo! I like it, too!! It made me smile to see it again.
It’s like seeing an old friend you haven’t seen in years.
Or in this case, one you haven’t seen for a couple of weeks.
And yet…it feels like years…
ZAP!!
I miss that intro…
We didn’t know what we had until we lost it… DOT ORG!
I don’t know what it is we did so wrong (clicky)
Omg. Would it be really bad to admit that I’ve seen them in concert?
*cries*
I knew it.
Bah! You’re hip in so many other ways I can overlook it.
*examines hips*
You got that right!
Shall we form a charitable society to save the “DOT ORG!”? It was so young and full of vitality, but was cut down in its prime…
Kill em before they grow.
Kind of like network tv shows.
Gack!
I’m very bitter about some of the cancellations this season.
Bring back DOT ORG! *gets signs together*
We’ll need Leila’s advocacy powers for this…
Let’s put a committe together … DOT ORG will be back in no time.
HURRAY! WE WANT IT BACK!
BRING IT BACK!!!
BRING IT BACK!!!
What?! There was another turnover?! Dammit, I knew we should have drafted a better point guard!!
DOT!! – ORG!! – DOT!! – ORG!! – DOT!! – ORG!! – DOT!! – ORG!! -
I am changing my name in honor of this cause.
Wha?
Hi guys! What’s that on your names?
Um…♀ LEILA© (searching for a new title) ♫

I am sorry Brewski…I know that’s not the answer you wanted.
We want DOT ORG!
*Attaches small banner to tail and flies*
DOT ORG! DOT ORG! DOT ORG!
Funny how Jack’s life was extinguished – he’d just finishing watching Towering Inferno and Blowback. Who ever torched the place really heated things up.
I’ve been flamed before myself, but regardless of whenever, whoever or whatever did this to him, Jack’s keys were in the ignition and he was ready to burn a patch getting out of there. He’d been playing “You Light Up My Life” with Petronilla at the time – she was an old flame. There were a couple ear-witnesseses who said they heard a loud “FOOOOM”, but they were pretty lit up. Frying, you know? I mean, they were roasted. The cops said “the car door had been opened by Claude”, but I knew what they meant – “clawed” asunder and thrown in the ditch, but then what? Emma gonna bet Petro had something to do with it because it was within her arc of control. Those two did have a spark.
Regarding Jack, he may have been a little of a burnout, but I don’t think he’d burned anybody enough to incite incendiaries, but you never know. The fire department found some very strange tracks nearby, but they don’t want to blow hot air about it. Whoever did it was able to melt into the background in a flash, as well as scale a high wall.
Even I know that Jack could get overheated, even inflamed, but after that incident, he was toast.
30
How does the 30 fit into the story? You lost me there.
If I remember right from journalism class in HS, 30 would denote end of story. Am I right, anyone?
Yes, you are. BTW, the ‘30′ should have a dash on either side and be centered at the end of the article.
I thought it was - # # # - or is that just for news releases?
Quite random. It’s like : To be, or not to be? That is the question…….. Poggs.
*smiles simple, absent-minded smile* I love poggs
30 is the “joke count”. Can you find them all? (Just you wait…)
*snork*
snorkcount++;
Exactly.
Mayor Mark Mallory objects.
Mr. Mark Mallory, Mayor?
Major Major Major Major.
??? An excerpt from “Fahrenheit 451″, radically revised edition”?
I was thinking more along the lines of fight club. I am Jacks raging pyromaniac?
You forgot the “13 year old pimpled teenager” voice tag.
FIRST
Uhhhh. Sure you were little buddy. Sure you were.
It seems even less plausible when you say “FIRST” as a reply to the first comment.
I hate hate hate that gay dot org thing. It wastes my time and makes me hate this site.
Whoah, easy there buddy.
Why do you think we want it so badly?
Fast forward, its a new and scary concept, but just try it first and let me know how it turns out.
Easy, there, Emp. Let’s teach him how to stop coming here first.
I’m gonna have to go with BF on this one!
Me too. This is a free site, no one pays to come here. So to have your only comment to be a complaint about the intro is insulting.
I may be a cheerer for the underdog, but maybe he can “learn” and he won’t complain. I’ll do my best.
*squeeze*
I like to root for the underdog too. But I generally stick to the ones who are nice. Mean ones I like to hang out to dry.
Don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel. Or not. I vote not.
FIRST !
Nope. HA-HAAAA!
HO-HOOOO!
Not quite dipshit…
he he! Well put.
Well, he’s ALMOST dipshit.
dipshit
As much as I don’t want to be a ‘not second’ hog, times like this make it worth the effort.
.
*squeeze x20* (So you’ll have enough for the trip.)
Aww, thank you Velvet! *SQUEEZE*
You’re welcome!
.
And if you think you might need more, just let me know before you leave tomorrow night. I’ll give you all the *squeeze*’s you want!!
I’ll add some of mine to the pile.
*squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!
squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!
squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!squeeze!*
Man. I’m gonna miss mr cuddles.
Hey you guys – you know how tight airlines are getting about luggage – make those half-ounce squeezes!
And pack in see-through ziplock bags.
The ShamWows can go in the luggage.
dipshit…
It’s such a funny word.
Velvet, what would Louie think of that word?
He would want to DIP HIS BALLS IN IT!!
.
*cheering*
*high fives velvet*
Woot!
.
Leila, you have to clicky my name to understand.
YouTube is blocked by big brother. I will check it out when I get home velvet.
Let me try this embedding thing:
.
aaaw…thanks for embedding. Too funny. Where is the show/skit from?
The State. It aired on MTV back in the early-mid 90’s. They’re supposed to release all of the skits on a DVD set July 14. I hope they follow through with it.
Oh man. I’d sell my first child just to get The State to be released onto DVD. I (heart) that show!
Someday. Some day………..
Well that was a waste of 2:02 that I’ll never get back.
FIST !
What what?
In the butt! (of course!)
For 100 points, what’s the strangest place you’ve ever made whoopee?
That was a ridiculously funny and terrible game show all at the same time!
I always wondered about the divorce rate of that show’s participants in relation to the population as a whole…
That was a show?
The Newlywed Game!
.
Oh, c’mon now, Judy!!
Erm…
Never heard of it.
It’s pretty old, and this particular reference is from the 70’s. They brought it back (briefly) in the 80’s as The New Newlywed Game. Lots of embarrassing questions, guaranteed to start a fight before they get back to the green room.
Okay, I am now officially crawling under my desk to hide until 5:00. I can’t believe how much I’m sticking my foot in my mouth today.
Noooo…don’t go!!
Can you be bribed with cookies?
*peeks out from under desk*
w-w-w-w-ith chocolate chips?
And toffee bits!
*drools*
Okay, you talked me into it.
Two, please?
Before I answer that, how much is 100 points in terms of real, hard cash?
It’s an old joke, where the host is reputed to have asked that question, to which the contestant answered “That’d be up the butt, Bob!”
It wasn’t actually true, but the host (forget his name) is still confronted with people who believed it was real.
I’ve seen the video clip from the show. It happened.
It was a really really ditzy woman who said said something like “Ummm… in the butt?” And then she giggled nervously.
What?! The host claimed it was false. Hm, now I wonder if there is a video out there…
They did a clip show of funny game show moments. That was one of them.
I think I’ve seen the video too. Maybe on snopes…
http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/newlywed.asp
There is a clip but it wouldn’t work for me. There’s a transcript though.
Got it!
There it is!
I see. That explains why you put your comment where you did.
I’ve always wondered why the contestant would come up with that as an answer.
…actually it’s like the only thing on the internet that *is* true. Bob Eubanks (the host) still denies “up the butt” but a woman did say “in the @$$” which in my book is pretty much the same thing. They’ve aired it on gameshow bloopers shows, youtube’s got it, and you can verify on snopes.
In the earhole…
Seriously? Seriously? I’ve been walking around all day with my name saying “1 days to Ireland* and no one corrected me? I’m so ashamed of myself!
We didn’t want you to feel embarrassed on your last day with us before your trip! You silly goose!
BTW, Seriously? Seriously? In the earhole??????
http://thebloggess.com/?p=2096
You’re not getting rid of me that easily! I’ll be around tomorrow. My flight is at night
Woohoo!
*squeeze*
And I just couldn’t bring myself to correct you, mr cuddles. Not after you caught me in your luggage!
*squeeze*
I don’t know what I’m going to do without you guys for 10 days 
Drink Guinness and get smothered under a pile of rugby players, right? That’s not so bad!
That’s right! I forgot I had that planned. Don’t forget be drenched in whiskey. I think that was on the agenda as well
Make sure you do the Guinness tour in Dublin and go to Temple Bar.
And say “hi” to Gaynorvader.
How did you know Guiness was on my tour list? Well I can choose to go to either the Guiness distillery or the Jameson distillery. I haven’t decided which I’d rather go to yet.
Go to both? Make a “who the hell cares I am getting drunk today” event out of it. Just don’t be like my brother and I and go completely bombed. They frown on that oddly.
Think so huh.
hideous
sexy
monotonous
bootylicious
Maybe he was picking off the runner on first?
Yeah, he’s probably an a**hole.
Good one sofaking!
He was closer to the dugout though. Maybe he was giving the ball to the relief pitcher.
It was a Reds game, that’s about how long any pitcher stays in. Gotta love the mayor of my city. Friggin dousche bag.
Do you vote?
I don’t live in Cincy proper, so I just get to deal with their mess without any say in electing the next idiot.
Someone always got picked LAST back in school.
He certainly didn’t get picked FAST back in school
8th!
OMG, why is that intro back??!! BTW, I think he threw it like that intentionally.
You failed to read the fine print.
there was fine print?? I have no audio, so maybe I missed something there.
What does audio have to do with reading?
nothing, try to read what I wrote without your cynicism. I was suggesting it as an alternative section of the video (seperate from print) where I might have missed something.
subtitles
oh, hey, I just found it……*skips merrily about*
Ah like reverse gaenocology….er psychology.
They’ll underestimate him next time, then BAM!!!
No, Jedi Mind Tricks….not reverse psychology.
d’oh
*tears of happiness*
It was so good to see the intro again. I’d been missing it so!
*sniff*
Me tooooooo…
*squeeze*
Rather bittersweet, isn’t it?
*squeeze*
Bittersweet, and yet so – so – overwhelmingly wonderful!
Nellie! Where ya been?
Oh, life at work is getting (hopefully temporarily) questionable.
Time will tell.
Yup, i never had a problem with the old video format ether. Dunno why people couldn’t just skip past it if they really wanted to not see it.
Petition to bring it back?
Meant for Judy
Naw, that’s okay. My memories can keep me warm.
We don’t need to bring Judy back. She never left.
I didn’t leave, but I tried to send you to Vermont!
(See previous fail.)
Sowwy!
Oh hell no!
Do we have a dissenting opinion?
I believe he did just diss our intro!
What?? Toleration will not be dissented!!
Consider the source.
Dissect the dissension.
Diss is getting out of hand.
Nah, we’re just going the distance!
Dat pitcher was dissy; dat’s why he through the ball like dat.
Worse than Fafafoohey
When I saw the title I was thinking OH No! Baba booey made it to failblog
…and I like the intro too.
I love the intro!!
KEEP THE INTRO!
I want the intro back!
Intro! Intro!
No. The intro is a disgusting shitty peace of pubescent fail! Like it’s made by a 13 year old and his dad.
Gives the videos character, shows they are part of a bigger something, rather then random web video one shots. Its like a uniform for videos
We call this “transference”.
Or “displaced aggression.”
Kind of sad, really.
Mmm-hmm. Sad indeed.
*puts on 8″ stiletto heels*
*shows BAReFOOt why it is wise to wear steel-toed boots around here*
*wonders how Judy walks in 8″ stilettos*
I only use them for the foot-stompin boogie.
*takes 8″ stiletto out of back pocket*
*pushes button*
Try this one?
Hold it up…..here, this high.
See if you can drop it straight down, and have the blade land right between his great toe and the second.
my penis.
is non-existent
Hi hive!
What did the worker bee say when she came back to the colony?
Dunno
Ahahahahaha i get it now!!! Sorry, my bad with the typo, and double post
gives high five back
..is blah?
Judy…you are just killing me today.
*wipes coffee off monitor*
*first, checks to make sure Arthur is not around*
*bows*
My pleasure, ma’am!
LOL!
Omg…how did I miss that??
*gives Judy two more chocolate chip toffee cookies*
*nibbles happily*
*quickly replaces stilettos with bunny slippers while Judy is pre-occupied*
*Slides into view again.*
My posts don’t seem to want to work right.
Oh…sure….this time it worked. I wonder if they don’t like
my other name anymore?
Hm… Did you try working them left?
You mean two wrongs don’t make a right
but three rights make a left?
In a word: right.
4 rights make a square!
…otherwise you have a wrecked angle.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, there go my socks!
Wooohoo!! Cotton or poly? Where could they have gone?
*measures search radius*
Poly…taupe. In color, I mean. :p
This is why gay men should stick with figure skating and diving…. The sad thing is when I saw the title I knew exactly what this would be a video of. I’m just shocked that it took so long!
It so happens that there are talented gays in about any sport you could imagine, so please take your bigotry elsewhere. It’s not welcome here. In the NFL, for example, gays are in the closet because of severe discrimination. Some have gone so far as to get married to a member of the opposite sex to avoid harassment. Several have been outed after their death. Their anonymous accounts of living with discrimination are available in interviews on the web, but I expect you aren’t interested anyway.
OK sorry, I may have over-reacted there. Even a hint of bigotry can set me off.
*takes meds*
You win either way. *steals two of his meds*
Did we decide to put everyone here on meds?
Probably not that bad of an idea!
Well, we better buy some drug company stock. Where do we place our order?
No, no overreaction. You did well my dear!
Oh no, Brewski…you didn’t over-react at all. No need for meds, you keep that fire of indignation going!
*applauds*
Sometimes you just have to get serious and tell people what’s what. We don’t need derogatory comments around here.
Derogatory comments suck.
>snort<
Can I have his meds?
Would you like them in the cookies?
In any case he isn’t gay, just the jack-ass mayor of Cincinnati. We hate that dousche-bag here.
Well…he is a politician…
agrees completely, please don’t apologize for this rant. …can I have some meds too??
*getting something off her chest* I must apologize for giving you all the impression that a meat free diet/lifestyle is the way to go. It would be ignorant and a display of arrogance on my part to impose my beliefs on anyone. The BaconLube™ ‘thing’ was just too hilarious to pass up – I ran with it and got carried away. Shame on me for not realizing the negative affect it had on others to the point of going out of their way to post comments just to ‘annoy’ me. I like this site because of the laughs and am not here to preach. Anyway, apologies if I’ve offended you. –kumbaya anyone?
I ain’t offended
Me too neither.
I lurve you guys too much to take
offense where none was meant.
*slips a packet of baconlube in LEILA’s pocket*
*pours an entire bukkit of BaconLube™ on LEILA’s head*
S’OK
Gee, thanks, WN. I was just about to give Leila a *squeeze*, but if she’s all covered in BaconLube™, forget it!
*waves to Leila from across the room*
*runs to Judy anyway* *squeeeeeeze*
Oh yeah…my dogs are going to love me now. Thanks WN!
Hi Leila
I knew it was just in fun. And I figured you would know the return fire was in the same spirit. But when I suspected it might actually bother you a bit, I backed off. I have the utmost respect for your choice. I don’t have the willpower myself.
I know at least I (and I’m sure most others) weren’t offended. But if you’d like to move past the vegan jokes, that’s fine. I think we kinda wore that one out anyway!!
*squeeze*
Did I miss something?
*pats Malicite on the back and offers to buy him a drink*
I am still in your suitcase mr cuddles … I am coming with you.
I thought I emptied my luggage earlier when I was given a “tip” that some failbloggers were hiding out in my bag. You’re a sneaky little thing, aren’t you? The ninja should take some lessons from you.
Don’t call ninja in here … last time he chopped me up to bits because I bopped him on the head.
Hmm…you’re looking remarkably together for someone who has been chopped up!
She doesn’t mince words.
Nope…no dice!
Nobody can incubate a pun-run like you, babe.
I like creating a punny atmosphere!
Took me a while to regenerate …
*buys Mr. Cuddles a drink too*
Cheers mate! May your trip be as awesome as I expect!
You do understand the concept of “sneak” don’t you?
Brewski, I like the vegan/vegetarian jokes. I really do. Don’t stop on my account.
*squeeze*
I wasn’t offended in the least. Of course I think you’re right which might explain it
I am right about what exactly? If it’s about the diet it’s not a right or wrong thing. It’s a personal choice. Ya know?
Right, just like my personal choice to dress up in women’s underwear on the weekends!
Uh oh… did I just say that out loud?
*snork*
True story… my g/f worked at a company that had a CFO that wore a bra under his dress shirt every day. It was often visible through the shirt. She bumped into him once or twice on weekends, when he dressed in full drag. He was a closet transvestite though, he didn’t want his coworkers to know. So she pretended not to notice him.
Please tell me this isn’t the job with the jerk boss that had her really depressed.
Jerk boss…?
Dammit… now I’m craving jerk chicken.
Will a brave jerk do?
*looks around*
I see brave…but I don’t see a jerk!
*smooch*
I still haven’t fulfilled that old request, eh?
*grin and smooch*
*SNORK!*
No…no, you never did.
*smooch*
Nope!! It was the job she took after quitting the job with the jerk boss. This place was actually a good place to work!
He must have had some sizeable man-boobs to be able to wear a bra.
Not really. He was skinny. I think it just made him feel more… what’s the word… girly or something.
Oh, so you’re the one stealing my pantyhose. Give ‘em back!!!!
I have no idea what you are talking about……Bronchitis has stolen more than time and money….
Juuuuuuuuuust a bit outside
Missed it by that much!
That’s got to be the first time I’ve seen the embodiment of “Couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn”!
Sad thing is, if I was given the opportunity to throw the ball, that’s exactly what it would look like.
Hard to believe he was black.
Hard to believe you have the brain cells to type out a comprehensible sentence.
What’s with all the bigotry today anyway?
It happens a lot around here. Fortunately, there are many more non-bigots here to squish the pathetic losers who foment hatred, stereotypes, and intolerance.
I’d just like to know how he keeps getting that 5th eagle back.
Seriously? Are you trying to draw fire?
It has nothing to do with his race. That was a pretty standard pitch for the Reds.
Actually the Reds have the best team ERA in the National League this year. They’re the only NL team with a team ERA under 4.0.
Hard to believe, isn’t it?
The Reds still suck. Sorry, but go Phillies!
I’ve lived in the greater cincy area too long to believe it’ll last. They started out strong last year too. They just don’t have the money to get high quality, consistent pitching talent. I still go to games, and support my team, but I know they’ll fizzle eventually.
Oh… no…
Eagle, bad move.
Too late, Brewski. Nice try, though.
oops sorry meant he was wearing black as in hot out. And dragonwriter eat shit.
No, theng-kew. Reading your posts has very much the same taste, and I’ve had quite enough of that already.
your arrogance is astounding cause you wrote a book.
Your ignorance is astounding.
*SNORK!!!*
Your logic is…stunning…there.
Your grammar is astoundingly atrocious.
Say that five times fast … teehee
I like blue.
I ate a pomegranate.
My feet are hot.
My pen is red.
My shirt is white.
Now you are on my shit list.
Congratulations Eagle! You’ve just alienated the entire failblog community! What do you plan for an encore?
*puts eagle in his blacklist*
i apologized at the bottom but you i am sorry.
Apology accepted. Just please be aware the gang here doesn’t appreciate bigotry. And there are some well-beloved long-time regulars here (eg Admiral, Dragon, cuddles, etc; way more than I could hope to mention), so we tend to get defensive when somebody attacks a member of the core group.
some of the regulars are not very nice to some of us new people on here which is not right. but I understand your point. Am I still on your blacklist lol.
*hands 5 eagles a 6th eagle for (un)intentional pun*
I’m still fairly new, and no one has been mean to me. The key is to be nice to all, and check your spelling.
Dragon used to torture me with smelling until I cried. I cried so many times…
Plllbbbbbbbtttt!
:p~~
SEE! Now she spits on me!
I GAVE YOU COOKIES when you first arrived on the blog!
*goes to sob in the corner*
I remember that. actually. But I didn’t get any…
*tears form in eyes*
*feels bad and starts to cry*
They were so goodddddddddd! *wonders how he forgot*
*starts crying, seeing all these tears flowing everywhere*
*hands out cookies and hankies to all*
*squeezes everyone*
Have a great evening all!
*zips home to his bed*
Wait, if Mal was tortured with smelling, was he not allowed to eat the cookies?
Just don’t confuse the cookies with the hankies. That could get gross.
Thanks Avis! I have just lost my appetite!
*keels over*
Sowwy.
Ms B, English is not 5 Eagles’ first language (unless I am sorely mistaken).
It’s not Arthur’s either. There is a spell check.
Maybe he is just starting to learn… I don’t know.
I was mostly meaning the being nice part of my statement. I guess we tend to take for granted the company of well-spoken friends for granted. I understand learning a new language is difficult, but when posting on an english-language site, I guess I expect them to try and use capitalization and the spell-check.
Agree with you about the nice part.
Moderator does not like my links today!
comics.com/frazz/2009-05-13/
I think the new people would be very insulted if you included yourself in that category. New people are fresh, and have new ideas for the blog. We are nice to them.
No, not on the blacklist. But you are on double-secret probation.
I’m going with the Avis Technique on this one.
I’ve been using it for months! But I got the technique from Dragon, so it’s not really mine.
Am I the only one here willing to forgive one last time? Seems I’m the lone voice, most have already blacklisted eagle?
*rereads his posts and reconsiders*
It’s not that I am unforgiving, I do forgive. To a point. Past that point, I walk away. But you REALLY have to piss me off to get to that point. Eagle hasn’t yet gotten there. Yet. Remember I said “yet”.
*agrees w 5 eagles* yup.
LEILA, I’m afraid you are suffering from what is known as “FOTCS”, or “Fuzz on the concept syndrome”, where you are rather judgemental and a bit too big for your boots. I’m going to back fluffy from yesterday.
How is it that you have never met me and yet you can make such a general and may I add grossly wrong statement about my character?
Okay, I admit, I’ve only seen your comments, therefore I am wrong to judge your personality just by them. But fluffy did have a point.
Everyone is entitled to her/his opinion.
Did I miss something yesterday?
Nothing big really. LOL …I was labeled judgmental and self righteous in the cyclist fail blog. That’s what he’s referring to…
*rolls eyes*
you know that place where Satan tortures you with fire, etc…. why don’t you go there.
I like the intro! I will miss it!
DOT ORG!
STFU already.
Jesus.
Is it the voices in your head again?
You called?
I have a question for you: would you microwave a burrito so hot that you could not eat it?
One must unconditionally love the burrito, whether heated or cold.
Now that is the response of someone I can worship. Do you have a fan club?
I’m working on that. My current fan clubs have started to piss me off. I’m thinking about stopping by to check up on them.
That would be divine!
Don’t make Him come down here!
WTF is up with bringing the .org opening back. I think thatis breaking a promise made the the whole community that if we voted them and the won it would be gone. I won’t be voting for them again. I think there’s a saying “fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
Read. The. Fine. Print.
Did you not see the disclaimer below the vid?
fpage77, just for you … Note: This video was created prior to us winning the Webbys. All videos added as of April 29 do not include the intro, as promised.
Some of us just so happen to enjoy the intro.
Some of us do, indeed, appreciate the wonder and general greatness of the Original ZAP! Dot Org intro.
Some of them will never understand…
I am slowly warming up to the intro. I am seeing its draw.
*shrugs* It’s easy to love what you don’t have.
.
If we still had it, people would be grizzling about that, no doubt.
i apologize for my comment but to my defense the black man
can throw the best. (I am not black). We all say comments on here
that offends all at some time lets have some tolerance. This English
language is not mine nor yours to correct me.(Darwin’s language book).
It’s dangerous ground you walk on, and I would suggest avoiding it in the future.
*eyes ground*
*hands 5 eagles a helicopter hat*
whats a helicopter hat mean? * (as 5 eagles puts it on )*
It’s one of those hats with propellars on them. That rather moronish people wear.
Tsk tsk BondFan!
eagle, WhoaNellie was trying to do you a favor by giving you a lift off the “dangerous ground”.
Also called Beanies.
*could do with beanie…it’s chilly here!*
Sorry…but bigotry is the one thing that I and many others here will NOT tolerate. If you make racist remarks, I’ll treat you like a racist, whether you are a newbie or not.
Now, that being said, I appreciate the (sort of) apology. If you play nice, you’ll find there is much fun to be had here.
we all can play nice. You wanna play with my dinky car?
I didn’t appreciate your apology. If you believe what you said is true, why would you apologize for it? It’s a statistically difficult claim to prove, so please show us evidence to back up your statement. While you are at it, could you let us know what other stereotypes you cling to?
.
I’ll go back to ignoring you soon enough, but today, newbie, I’d like to be your best friend..
Ohhhhh…dear. That made me literally *snork* out loud.
You ARE braver than I am! My peacekeeping tendencies often get in the way of my ability to sustain outrage.
Isn’t there a missle called a peacekeeper *ponders this for a moment* *runs*
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we’re all free
I don’t think it’s fair to write him off under the circumstances. Now, if he had said something like “so-and-so race should all by taken by the balls and shot” or “all XXX are stupid” then that’s it, verdict is in. There are differences between races… the average black has longer legs than the average white, for example. Blacks have long dominated running events in track and field. That’s not racism, just statistics. Doesn’t mean there aren’t klutzy blacks and fast whites, tho.
My opinion only.
This isn’t our first run-in with this guy, Brewski.
And stereotypes are BAD!!!! BAD BAD BAD!!!
Yeah, maybe I’m too forgiving, I don’t know. I just always like to give people the benefit of the doubt. 3 strikes and you’re out, ya know?
I agree about stereotypes.
I hate, hate, HATE that ad!! Wearing that in my neck of the woods will get you shot. By EVERYONE.
*is gobsmacked*
For real…? It REALLY says that??
I saw that too, and couldn’t figure it out. It shows a picture of a great white shark, I think. But still, what the hell?
Why would FB have such an ad?
*is more grateful than ever for AdBlock Plus*
*loves ad blocker as well*
My AdBlocker has ceased to work. I get the ads now. And when we bring up different subjects, some of those ads change to push what ever we are talking about. Like Turducken. You should now have an ad for that @ the bottom of the page. If you don’t have AdBlocker that is.
Yeah, it does have a pic of a great white shark, but that won’t save you if you wear it around here!
And sadly, yes it really says that.
I never even noticed it. I don't know what to say...this does not makes sence?
I could say the same thing about your comments.
Funny thing is… Whoopi Goldberg once told a joke that was kind of a version of what 5 Eagles said.
Don’t believe me? Go rent “Fontaine: Why am I Straight?” I’ll wait.
Why don’t you search for it and link to it so we can understand the context. Last time I looked, Whoopi Goldberg was black. There is a difference between lampooning a stereotype and promoting one.
Race-based humor is so weird. Some blacks routinely use the “n” word in jokes and conversation, and I really wish they would stop doing that. Whoopi herself has used the “n” word.
I think that the phenomenon you are talking about is done in an effort to take the sting out of the word. If you call me a b!tch, but if I use that word in jest to describe myself and my friends, I have taken away that words power to wound. And it confuses people, and that is ALWAYS a plus!
I really re-read my comments before I post them. I changed a sentence mid-stream (so to speak) and it ended up a little… off. I hope it still makes enough sense though.
I tried searching for it… it’s not transcripted anywhere on the net i can find it.
The gist of it, possibly slightly paraphrased (I can’t remember it word-for-word, as I only saw the tape once, about 20 years ago. My memory is almost photographic, but not quite.) :
“What was so wrong with what Jimmy the Greek said?
Well, we know his first mistake was talking to a reporter. They will f**k up anything you say. And she asked him:
‘Jimmy, why do you think there are so many… how shall I say… black athletes?’
‘Well, we took big black bucks, and bred ‘em to big black gals, and made big black babies, who was fast.’
Where is the offense? It ain’t a lie, he told the goddamn truth!”
Hey All!!*drops in*

I was wondering why I was itching so much. Thanks!
FETCH!!!
i think you have to be american to understand the joke in it… i dont get it ^^ i never got, why americans love such a boring sport… half of the time there are just people throwing the ball, while the guy behind the bat guy catches it… and when the bat guy hits the ball he rarely starts to run… so where’s the point? ^^
You try hitting a (fast) moving sphere (it moves both forward AND spins, and sometimes curves as well) with a tapering cylinder. There is a certain amount of skill involved. Skill which I in no way possess.
Actually, I agree with this guy. Most boring. Sport. Ever. I enjoy watching curling more than I do baseball.
Yes, it is the most boring sport out there. Lets watch a sport where they can actually hit each other. Like hockey!
I don’t particularly like baseball either, I like to go to games because it’s a fantastic place to people watch. I much, much prefer hockey to baseball, so much more action.
baseball and cirling are the same boring to watch lol

What just happened?
NOT COOL! Now nothing makes any sense!!!!!
Omg…this is giving me flashbacks to the Great Schism of ‘08!!!
Eeeep! Not again!
Can we still blame Brewski for this one…? He was monkeying with the nesting yesterday!!
Well, now nesting is back but the reply button is gone!
How do you nest without a reply button?
Is this what happens when we get too many comments now?
*pouts*
The nesting/reply failure is occurring on every Fail, regardless of comment count.
I’m sure they’re still working out the bugs…I’M SURE OF IT!!
*curls up in the fetal position and shivers*
Hmmm… seems like the format change is not without glitches then.
I am a bit relieved (in a very selfish way) to know that it’s not my computer. And therefore this will be fixed soon. I hope.
*pulls tongue and hits self in the head with a mallet*
I’m scared…I don’t see a reply button anywhere…
@Avis: I thought it was my computer too. Now we have to use the dreadful @ symbol.
The problem is occurring on EVERY Cheezburger site. I’m sure cell phones are ringing.
@ Bobbynoname: It could be worse. It could always be worse. They probably are working on some new function or something and HAD to disable the reply function.
*fervently hopes this is rectified soon*
@Avis: Let’s hope so. Like maybe auto-loading comments, that would be awesome. Hopefully it’s just not some crazy glitch.
EVERY cheezburger site??
Eeeeeeep. Hold me!
*hugs!*
There HAS to be a good reason for this! This simply CAN’T be the new look of FailBlog!! It just CAN’T.
*whimpers*
hey wtf is going on
OMG THE REPLY BUTTONS GONE.
*curls in fetal position with DW*
Ummm… yeah, that’s going to go over well.
Hmm….what?
Oh, pfft…that isn’t going to bother me. I’ve been over here snogging with the Admiral for the past half hour. :p
Hee! Well, being completely ignored isn’t going very well is it?
Well, now that we’re having this problem, and now that I’ve got the floor, let me unload for a minute.
My problem with 5 eagles was not for the racist remark, although that was seemingly offensive, it seems he did not mean it with a vicious intent. And I believe he did apologize.
My issue, however, is with the remark by him (and I grimace as I repeat this): “…eat shit, Dragonwriter.” “5″ has been commenting on this site, from what I can recall, for at least two weeks, and maybe lurking for longer, so I hope to presume he is reasonably aware of how we interact here.
We don’t attack here. That is how I saw that – as a personal attack. And that is what concerns me.
I had issues with just about everything he said, Judy. I would have ignored him except for the remark he made to DW. I hope we don’t open this up again; he isn’t worth the aggravation.
*pours more wine for everyone*
*pulls blanket closer around DW*
It’s just like a power outage in a thunderstorm.
We do pounce though. On occasion.
*is trying to keep it light*
*agrees with Judy nonetheless*
Understood, Avis & Admiral.
But I had to leave shortly after the “initial” comment, and just recently returned. I, too, like to keep it light, but just had to unload first.
Wine? Why, yes! I’d love a glass! No, don’t you get up, I’ll get it myself.
I’ve just made a wonderful brie en croute. Have some? There’s enough for everyone!
Whoops! HTML fail!
Oh, believe me, I understand! Venting is good!
Judy!
*squeeeeeeeeze*
Have I mentioned recently that you’re a sweetie?
*munches brie*
*squeeze*
I feel much better now. Aggravation? What aggravation?
*sips wine* *samples brie*
I sure hope the FB “cute and insane” ones have this repaired by morning.
What gives? No reply options? Who borked the blog again?
No replies?!?!?*starts pacing nervously and mutters unintelligent statements to himself*
*schnuggles deeper into the blanket*
Power outages can actually be very nice.
I would attempt to pat you on the shoulder and console you Ninja, but I fear you would slice-n-dice me. No one wants a shish-ka-crow.
Somehow, I must have forgotten what I was writing while I was mid-word. I meant unintelligible, but I suppose that works too...Wonders where the reply button went, did they color it white?
*hovers over areas where they should be*
Nope.
*Is puzzled*
:s
I’m in your failblog stealing all your replies. Step 1 of my plan for world domination is a success!!
Are you pondering what I’m pondering??
I believe I am. And your right, a toasted ham & cheese would be great right about now!
I believe I am, but this time you get to put the tights on the donkey.
I believe I am, but how will we get them to make tuna flavored jelly beans?
*snork*
Thanks fluffy, now my co-workers are asking me why I just spit water all over my keyboard!
*squeeze*
I believe I am, but do you really think the statue of liberty will look good in polka dots?
Hee….!
I believe you are, too, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour??
I believe I am, but how will we get the crow a new keyboard?
I believe I am, but how will we stop the yacht from drowning if it’s made out of chopped liver?
I believe I am, but do you really think the Admiral can stay confined in that cabinet for so long?
Sweetie, with as much duct tape as we have in this cabinet, all you need to do is toss us some food every now and again.
I believe I am, but do you really think we can convince the Canadians to use a banana instead of a maple leaf on their flag?
Thanks fluffy, now my co-worker is curious why I just spit water all over my keyboard!
*squeeze*
Arggh, stupid failblog not showing my posts!!
sorry about the double posting
Again…???
*starts to make Crow a spit-guard*
I believe I am, but how well do you think the Moomin will respond to *squishing*?
I believe I am, but won’t people be confused when we stop calling it failblog DOT ORG!
I believe I am, but the doctor said we shouldn’t try that again for at least 2 weeks.
I believe I am, but we’ll never find that much baconlube at this hour.
Alright, I give up. My eyes are sore from trying to track down this Cheezburger bug, er, Cheezbugger.
Robble, Robble.
*squishes cheezbugger*
Ooo! I hope the Moomin doesn’t mind!
I hate the repeating parts. Somebody on here said before it’s like the guy who tells a lame joke and then repeats the punch line saying, “see??!?! see?!?! this is why it’s funny!!!” it takes away from the humor a lot of the time.
The only time it’s really useful is if the funny part happens too quickly to be seen at regular speed, like say the video of the bird getting sideswiped by a pitch during a baseball game. Otherwise it’s lame. I would have gotten rid of that instead of the intro, personally.
Just read the comment of the hour/day.
*Is happy he is not the one who made the pho paw. fo pa, foe pah…*

As usual, I can understand that word wrote don’t have a specific meaning transmitted with them. I.e I cannot say how these words are to be taken. Bad word choice is a problem I know I suffer from, Dragon I know you can attest to that. I do feel the regulars are a bit harsh, or quick to hit in a sense, whenever someone does something wrong. Understood that there are some characters that do not mesh, personally I am trying to adjust my own perspective and the way I display myself so that AA won’t hate me, well at least as blatantly hate me. Giving a person a chance to explain themselves is a courtesy we should always grant. I do agree he did not deliver what he wanted to say in the proper way, we do have to screen ourselves while we are here. Stereotyping is never good though we deal with it everyday. It is ugly thing that we know goes on, but should be left unsaid. Regardless of our personal opinions on the subject. My thoughts are scrambled, yes, as I just have come back from work and am a bit tired. SP errors, SF, |P all are present I know. I just wanted to get that off my chest. *Grabs wineglass out of jacket, grabs ones own wineglass, pours. Places wine bottle on table. Backs away as to not disturb the now happy group.*

Are you pondering what I’m pondering?
I think so, fluffy, but if we called them “Sad Meals” no one would buy them!
Brain: Any questions?
Pinky: Just one. If Fred Flintstone knew the giant order of ribs was going to tip over his car, why did he order them every week?
*sneaks in and steals the Sad Meal*

Robble, robble!!
I squished you already!!
Hmm. I can see you are a clever Cheezbugger. I need to plan….
*evil grin*
Silly dragon. My horizontally striped suit is squishy-proof!
Curses! I should have known!
*starts to plot how to get him out of the suit…*
:O
Gee, you guys look like a bunch of inflatable trolls here! (He heeeee…)
Here, let me help you. I packed some BaconLube, a rope, a hairpin and 1972 Playboy. That should help you start.
Mwwuaaahahahahahaaaaa….
1972!!! I’m somehow curious yet repulsed at the same time. It’s like a train wreck, you don’t want to look but can’t seem to tear your eyes away!
Emp, let me respond to the parts of your post that I can make sense of. Is it that hard to proof your posts before submitting them? If you can see that your comment is poorly written after you send it, then you can determine that beforehand, too. Knowing that your comment is poorly written and sending it anyway delivers the message that you don’t care. If you don’t care, why should I care to read it?
.
Some comments are so out-of-line as to deserve immediate challenge. How do you know that the regulars you believe are too quick to respond aren’t showing restraint? If you only notice the reactions and not the triggers, then the responses will seem harsh and sudden. Please show where I or Dragon, since we’ve been singled out, have not given someone a chance to explain themselves. We have repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to exchange ideas and debate courteously with those that are willing to do the same.
.
Putting words in other people’s mouths is irritating. You did it with Dragon and then again with me. I don’t hate you. It takes a LOT to make me hate someone. Add your comment above to the list containing poor word choices.
.
It wasn’t how “5″ delivered what he wanted to say that was bad. It WAS what he wanted to say that was offensive. Screening oneself is not the answer. If you have something to say you should feel free to express it, but you should also be prepared to defend it. No amount of self-screening will hide an asshat’s true nature for very long.
A case a point here. I when brought out dragons name was saying that, “Bad word choice is a problem I know I suffer from, Dragon I know you can attest to that.” Meaning Dragon and I have had discussions about some posts I have made. I meaning that I did not intend ended up being inferred. By the general population not just DW. I had to spend the next 30 or so posts to get what I really meant out.
.
I knew my comment was poorly written, yes, I was tired and extending a curfew to keep reading and posting. At that point I also had a parent in the room, telling me it was time to pack it in… Though I don’t think that a valid excuse myself, as I know that I as I have said before am not proficient at proof reading. The most I ever do is google words which I do not know how to spell.
.
In response to the words in the mouth statement. Well as you can see I haven’t really done that. Though in that paragraph you can infer why I would think you hate me. Considering the tone that I get out of it, but it is alright. In the end like me or not I have to deal with it.
.
I believe screening oneself, asshat or not, will stop oneself from posting the obviously insulting stuff. Screening would stop trolls completely, well if they screened themselves. That is just my opinion though.
.
Yes I can not tell if someone is restraining themselves in a post. All everyone ever sees is the words on the screen. I just feel that 50 responders to one person, yes everyone deserves a say, its more of badgering then responding. Yes s/he said something that was out of line, I just don’t feel that a mob response of anger (if there was anger at all) is that necessary. As I have said many times before, I am a fan for the underdog. 5 people attacking a person, whatever happened I will help the one as it is not fair. That is just how I am I can’t help it. I read the trigger, I always try to, so that I have the whole story.
A meaning ***…

Sorry, I don’t completely understand Baseball, the ball was suposed to be thrown to the guy in the suit, right in front of the other one, right?

Emp, I’ve been waiting for a reply button to respond to you. Since it is not forthcoming…
.
You claimed that not everyone is capable of expressing themselves well, yourself included, and that this can lead to problems. You did not have to mention Dragon’s name to make this point; all you had to do was admit that you have this problem. You did more, though, you suggested that the problem lies with the reader. You implied that Dragon has misinterpreted your intent in the past, and you confirmed this in your second post. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. If you have a problem expressing yourself, you can’t blame the reader.
.
“I do feel the regulars are a bit harsh, or quick to hit in a sense, whenever someone does something wrong.”
In this context, both Dragon and I were regulars that responded to “5″, and Dragon was the first to do so. By expressing your opinion about harshness on this occasion, without expressly claiming otherwise, implies that you think Dragon and I were too harsh and too quick to challenge “5″ and have done so similarly with others in the past.
“Giving a person a chance to explain themselves is a courtesy we should always grant.”
Again, you’re implying that this happened in this case if you don’t qualify your intent. I specifically asked for “5″ to back up his claim. He provoked a response, and we’re ready to be enlightened by his wisdom.
.
Characters that don’t mesh are typically ignored. If you think you don’t mesh with someone, don’t call their name out in your posts, reply to their comments, insert yourself into their conversations, and generally try to get into their good graces if they’re trying to ignore you. Doing so is asking for information you may not want to hear.
.
I repeat, I don’t hate you. Being irritated by what you say, how you say it, and who you say it to is not the same as hatred.
.
There would not have been a mob response if “5″ didn’t make the “eat shit” remark. It was open season after that.
“As I have said many times before, I am a fan for the underdog. 5 people attacking a person, whatever happened I will help the one as it is not fair.”
Why would you indiscriminately help someone solely on the grounds they are outnumbered? When you help those that are in the wrong, you align yourself with bigots, hatemongers, misogynists, and other trolls. Previously, you’ve expressed intense fear at the thought that others might see you this same way. If you continue defending the indefensible, your own intentions and beliefs will remain difficult to gauge.
I wasn’t saying the problem lay in the readers hand. I stated that the problem was mine own. By mentioning dragon, I was saying that she could back up my statement of not being able to say what I mean properly. That is all. I never meant to defend him on the basis of his eat crap attack. That is uncalled for.
.
Correlation does not imply causation. Just because you two were the first to respond, it does not mean I am referencing you two. That was the whole point of me generalizing it to a term; regulars. In general situations most regulars was the intended target.
.
A question though, you see a mob of 5 people attacking one man. What do you do? I would help the man, because even after finding out he robbed them all, it still does not justify all 5 of them beating the living daylights out of him. It makes me sad to even think of this. When I mean I would help him, in this case our actual situation that transpired, I mean I would say something along the lines like, “okay enough people have told him he is stupid/wrong, acting like a bigot.” All the while more and more people a crowding in to say he should curl up and die, not literally of course. I would not defend what he actually said, I don’t intend when I defend them to defend what they are communicating in no way. I would use more of a damage control method to stop the mob beat down. That is all, I am not condoning what was said or what they represent. Just kind of pointing out in the end, no matter what, they are human, not animals. We should still extend some sort of sympathy.
.
In reference to your don’t respond method for the characters. That would be pretty hard considering you and dragon post alot and are part of many of the conversations that go on.
“Meaning Dragon and I have had discussions about some posts I have made. I meaning that I did not intend ended up being inferred. ”
Readers infer; writer’s imply. You were denying your responsibility for the miscommunication.
.
“I never meant to defend him on the basis of his eat crap attack. That is uncalled for.”
I did not accuse you of this. I stated that the “eat shit” comment was the reason for the mob scene.
.
“That was the whole point of me generalizing it to a term; regulars. In general situations most regulars was the intended target.”
So, clear this up, are we or are we not included in group of regulars that you believe are harsh and quick to hit?
.
“That is all, I am not condoning what was said or what they represent. Just kind of pointing out in the end, no matter what, they are human, not animals. We should still extend some sort of sympathy.”
I treat animals and other innocents with a great deal of compassion. Intolerant people that are not demonstrating basic human decency deserve little sympathy.
.
Try.
Maybe my word choice is poor again, but I know it is my fault whenever I try to say something and what I mean is not what comes across. I do not deny my responsibility for the miscommunication, I know it is what I wrote that did not come through as I planned.
.
I know you didn’t accuse me of the eat shit comment, that was just a general remark on my behalf. Not a reference on anything you have said, in regards to me.
.
You are in the group of regulars, all regulars in general, but not always harsh and quick to hit. Even though you are in the group, doesn’t mean I am targeting you, I hope you know that. I don’t intend to target anyone in particular.
.
Yes intolerant people don’t demonstrate decency, but why are they intolerant? There are deeper questions that must be answered. He in the end still deserves sympathy.
slider BITCH!
Holy CRAP
