(TM) signifies somethings a trademark … (R) indicates its a registered trademark. (TM) merely denotes a trademark status of something, not any kind of legal registration or acceptance of said trademark.
In summary you can put TM after anything, it has no real legal standing … at least in Europe anyway.
@raiseer –
Ur such an idiot. Aids, unlike you, doesn’t discriminate. (PS- there are gay white people :O. This may surprise you.) Also Aids is what we call a “disease” similar to people like you.
Mr. Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle, I conceded the loss yesterday. Any further smacking down on me would be unsportsmanlike. BTW, what does FTW stand for anyway?
That’s what I always see first when I see FTW, I actually had to look it up once to figure out what everyone was actually saying.
.
I still see “eff the world” every time. Maybe it’s just my disposition, after all I plan on eating the living some day.
@ Abstract,
♫ You can’t sleep, you can’t eat. There’s no doubt, you’re in deep. Your throat is tight, you can’t breathe. Another kiss is all you need. Whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh yeah It’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough, you know you’re Gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to blog. ♫
I’m so sorry! If it’s me, I’m so sorry!
*thinks*
(Hey, how could it be me? I’ve posted from 3 different computers these last two days???)
Hey! I know! It’s Arthur’s fault! Arthur did it!
lolz!! I practicly fell out of my chair on that one. By Boyfriend says that to me all the time. wow, that doesn’t make me sound (insert ajective denoting positivity) at all.
thanks dragon, yes, emporer, it is also a lot like veterans day, but correct me if i’m wrong, dragon, that is for both living and deceased military personelle who have actually fought in a war.
WAIT, you don’t have Remembrance day? wow. I always thought you did as well. Well at least I get it now. Well in any case, I am thankful for all the people who fought in service for our countries, those who live on and those who died, so that we all may enjoy our freedom.
Memorial Day honors service members who died in service to their country or have been injured in battle.
Veterans Day is set aside to thank living veterans who serve/have served honorably in the military – during times of war or peace. Deceased veterans are also honored at this time.
We only have the one day, that seems to be a combination of your two days. We remember all who fought and died in service for our nation. All other current soldiers are also thanked.
oo, off topic funny story… my dad went to the McDonals drive through w/ my mom once. they ordered ice cream sundaes(sp.?). The drive through guy asked, “do you want nuts on those?” My dad said, “on one.” he was misheard, and the drive through guy screamed into the mic., “ON YOUR SUNDAES!!!” (sp.?) LOL!!!!!
Abstract, I had a similar thing happen to me. My friends and I were at a diner, after our meal the waiter asked if we would like dessert. My friend ordered an ice cream sundae, and asked if they had nuts. The waiter then looks down, looks back at my friend and replys, yes.
If they’re going to post comments in limbo, waiting moderation, why must they allow us to reply to them? It just borks the blog! All these little orphan comments who need a home are making me sad
It reminded me of this bit I saw. The comedian was talking about his idiot friend who pointed at a store and said, “look, they have open latte.” The comedian responded, “No you idiot, it says ‘open late’. Latte has another t.” The friend responded, “I’m not talking about tea, I’m talking about coffee!”
We have CA Security. I’m glad I’m in the IT department as a backup, cuz I have the password. That crazy software thinks everything is a dating site. Even foodtv.com!!
*sprints in at approximately speed of light*
BEER?!
Please please??
It’s Friday, and the owner is going to close the company 2 hours early! And it’s beautiful outside, and should be 70’s F and sunny all weekend! Things are finally going my way!!
It all has to do with people replying to their comments “waiting for moderation”. Any subsequent reply to a post in limbo becomes an orphan comment. Once the post clears moderation, everything will magically fall into place.
I guess for some reason they decided it was better than having the comments eaten by the blogmonster. Now we know that when we try to post something the filters don’t like, that’s why it’s not showing up.
It only shows up for the person who posted it, who can then reply to it. The replies show up, for some reason, and the rest of us can reply to the replies. These are the orphan comments at the bottom…
.
.
Wait, what was I saying? Now my brain hurts! Must be that rum Judy slipped in my Coke last night…
Ahem. I’d like to point out that the blog worked perfectly fine this morning. It borked today, yesterday and the day before when the Americans arrived! Coincidence?
Our baby-boom population is aging, and most have now been seeing their kids off to college or careers. So this has created a lot of empty-nesters. QED.
Figures. Things were going so well, until Failblog goes and posts a fail about the word “SLŰT”. Now there’s probably about 100 posts awaiting moderation. I think they should bring back the blogmonster, and just eat them!
I know what borked the blog. I tried to post a comment using the phrase “free c**t breakfast” and all hell broke loose. I apologize.
*erases “free breakfast” from list*
It seems so – but what do we really know? It may well be that in a couple of years we have to say that Bush achieved something good by doing something horrible and evil.
Tragic irony and at the same time what we have to wish for.
I don’t know what the Iraqis think other than what I see in interviews. Surely, Iraqis are very conscious of the difference between a people and their government. I would think they would notice a change in policy between US administrations.
I wasn’t insulted, Arthur! But as an American, I do like to remind folks that the Bush administration did NOT speak and act for the majority of the people it governed.
*squeeze!* Sorry if that sounded harsher than I meant it to…I was smiling when I posted it!
The years after 9/11 were terrible for me to see. All this rallying behind the president taken to the max, not much criticism and the hectic atmosphere of warmongering and fearspreading… The rise of antiamericanism wasn’t surprising.
I think it was probably just as horrifying–if not more so–on this end, Arthur. It was so incredibly painful to see such abject stupidity and propaganda spread like wildfire and to be helpless to stop it…and to know you would be tarred with the same brush in the eyes of the rest of the world…
Oh I’m sure it was worse for you! I felt mostly disappointed by the USA and at the same time I was shocked how easily all the checks and balances were gone. The propaganda was disgusting, but you certainly heard even more of it than I did (we don’t even have Fox). Having the historic knowledge that I have I felt some scary parallels to Germany’s history. That was the really frightening part for me, and that’ll stay.
The years after 9/11 were governed by fear. It’s still around, but I hope that the election of someone as mature as Obama will help subside the fear and hatred.
I don’t know about it being poison, but the words “Homeland Security” are the most terrifying ever uttered. Thanks to that particular group there isn’t a single spot in my neighborhood (outdoors) not being surveilled by them.
We have the same problem here in London. The Home Office are creating all sorts of databases, from schoolchildren to the elderly, and there are CCTV cameras everywhere. Councils are even putting cameras in bins to see if we’re recycling properly! They should rename The Home Office, Big Brother.
BFF, I saw the guys putting in the camera (right outside my front door) and asked them what they were doing. The guy said “I’m not allowed to tell you that”. Seriously. I looked at him and asked if HS REALLY needed to put up a camera in this particular neighborhood. He said “I’m not allowed to tell you that.” I wish I were kidding.
But still, on a political level there is no difference between the people and their goverment, especially in a democracy. The USA invaded Iraq, not the Bush administration. It is very understandable that Americans who disagreed with Bush point out this difference in opinion. But as much as I have to live with the Shoah as a part of my nations history, the Americans have to live with the Iraq war and all that followed as a part of the US history – not the Bush history.
No offense taken, Arthur. I agree with what you say, but the Bush administration lied to the American people and Congress in order to invade Iraq. Had the people and Congress known what was going on, the war never would have happened. I truly believe that.
It took time to prepare for Iraq, Arthur. Even with all the suspension of normal practices, there was time for heads to cool. Most Americans were indeed very enthusiastic about invading Afghanistan, not so about Iraq. Even hawkish Americans were thinking “WTF?” regarding Iraq. That is why the administration had to lie.
Sure. But on the other hand, the first victim of war is always the truth. Certainly the… well, world domination plans had to be secret. But there’s always a lie. The question is, will Americans uncover the next lie soon enough? Will they really learn that lesson? I hope so, but I think about Vietnam and Iraq and am scared that it will work again in 10, 20 or 30 years.
I dunno Arthur. In many ways we can’t afford to make this same mistake for a long time. I think we did learn a lesson from Vietnam, and we’re learning painful lessons from Iraq.
The 9/11 attack altered the lens by which we viewed history, no doubt. I’m not sure the response to the 9/11 attack was uniquely American, though. I hope we never find out.
I’m not defending the Bush administration in any way, but they were kind of in a lose-lose situation. If they didn’t act after the 9/11 attack, there would have been just as much criticism as there is now, after they did react. Of course, they botched the whole thing completely.
As you say, Ms B…HOW one acts says more than the mere form of action. The Bush administration had a rare moment to prove its mettle to the world and…well…didn’t.
I disagree, Ms B. Bush thought that his PR and reputation were more important that the lives of people lost in the war. They are not.
You sometimes have to restrain yourself and not react, even tho the blood is pumping in your head and calling for revenge.
Two things, Ms B: 1. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. The war wasn’t a reaction, it was an action. 2. We elect people to run our countries and expect them to be smarter and wiser than we are. If that means making unpopular decisions – so be it. In Germany each and every important decision about the European Union was unpopular, for example giving up our currency for the Euro. But that was the right decision, even if it would have never passed a public vote. Especially when it comes to questions of war and peace I expect my goverment to NOT care about popularity, but to (try to) do the right thing.
If I were an Iraqi, my first concerns would be security, water, food, shelter, electricity, and gainful employment. They had most all that under Saddam. Only now is it finally getting close to where it was. Lower on the list is political persecution, corruption, individual rights, etc. Those are where they will hopefully gain (well, maybe not the corruption part).
At least the Iraqi government is making progress in rebuilding its nation. Look at Afghanistan, for example. The opium trade is through the roof and the government is one of the most corrupt in the world.
I’m assuming that’s because the Afghan government can only really control Kabul, like Pakistan. It’s a total mess. Let’s hope Obama takes a few wiser decisions than his predecesor.
If governments actually did something to help people in the tribal and poor areas for a change, then it would neuter all these extremist groups. As it is, mostly what they see from governments is death raining down on them.
True Brewski. But don’t forget that there is the other side, too. Crazy fundamentalist motherfückers who WANT war. These are people we all have to fight. Which inevitably causes civilian deaths. Which fuels the extremists. And so on.
When you post, there is a box that says “Website”. You currently have “5eagles” in there. You can put a URL in there, subject to certain restrictions (non-commercial, not obscene, etc etc). People can click your name and voila!
Hi Brewski! Been swamped today. I was curious and sought MRN’s link. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
-
To MRN, thank you for sharing the link. Too funny!!!!!
At least we HAVE replies again! We had comments awaiting moderation before, it just never had the decency to tell us that’s why our comment didn’t show up until now.
Awww, its ok not anymore, now they are tied 3-3. I was referencing the Stanley Cup Playoffs, (Hockey is my current sport until soccer season starts again).
Oooohhhh! You should know, I’m not a sports buff by any stretch of the imagination. I like hockey, if I can go to the actual game. Or if I can play (on land, in regular shoes- I’m kinda clumsy). They’re still doing better than the White Sox, I don’t even like baseball all that much and yesterdays score was embarrassing!
Why is this a “Fail.” They’ve been very kind and itemized your entertainment expenses for you and printed them out. Now when the IRS audit comes, I can show them exactly how much I spent on ‘ho’s and sluts. It’s important, since the deduction for that is pretty substantial.
If only the Bunny Ranch would be this kind and cooperative.
Well, I’ll be d*amned, you iz GAY (or so you say). Because too often, the little mites who post such things and/or title themselves that way, “post next.” I find that the consistency of that happening becomes its own perfect illustration of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Excellent job! p.s. “Gay” is only a put-down in the mind of the one who uses it as such.
Wait. What the hell am I doing typing an intelligent, thoughtful, scathing reply to an obvious Cretin? Since that’s the case, nevermind.
Maybe I can hold out the hope that someone else will come along, read it and think something reasonably positive about me. Wait a sec’. On the INTERWEBS!?!?!??? naaaaaaaaaaaah

I’m starting to think I’m the FB jinx. It seemed to be fine, until I came back and posted again. And, here it is, your 8:15 post is BEFORE my 8:14 one. Oh, woe is FailBlog! DOT ORG!
No, it’s just that some of the posts that are failed replies to the orphaned post show up BELOW the nested ones. And it will continue like that, I suppose. I think they just like to mess with our heads.
Actually, I have viewed the html coding on the website before and looking at it now. I can see areas that need a little cleaning up. You could do it too with firefox, but I would not suggest it unless you have computer programming skills.
I think the biggest FAIL is the choice of food. I mean, who goes to Singapore and orders Peanut Butter & Jelly, and Nachos? Did he spend the rest of his time in the hotel room watching NFL?
That’s no deli, it’s the Raffles Hotel, one of the most famous hotels in the world.
Check out this photo (where”my website” would go (it’s not mine, it’s in Wikipedia)
I’m pretty sure it was for something like a red headed slut. If you’ve ever been in Singapore, you know that it wouldn’t be totally unheard of to get such a western drink.
Can I get my slut to go? … and btw – it’s awesome to know that the slut you’re getting in singapore is cheaper than the Garlic Twists & PB & Js you’ll be ordering to give you an energy boost that you’ll be needing!!!!
Peanut ButterJely costs more than a slut!? Grocery inflation is out of control. I would take the ice cream for $14 over either of those choices though.
*facepalm*
♪Cause it’s easy. Easy like a Sunday morning.♪
I hear the garlic twins are cute too…
Two french siblings?
Those danish ones are really sweet
I don’t think he’s gonna be able to expense that slut. But at least it was a good value.
This girl is probably gonna grow up a slut too… in the Paedophile clip
what can u cet for 6.25 crabs
Cheaper than PB&J.
OMG, you’re right! ROFLMAO!
PEANUT BUTTER JELLY!! lol this is a double fail (top of receipt)
Isn’t that the Bar lic twins??
Since when did failblog readers not know how to differentiate “G” and “B”?
Because we’re on Failglob, of course.
*heee*
FacePalm(tm)?
Yes, they are in stock, ready to be shipped!
Operators are standing by!
*police slam down door of Vince Offer’s FacePalm office*
Freeze! This is the anti-putting trademarks on things that shouldn’t have trade marks squad!
The APTOTTSHTMS(tm)? Nice to meet you folks.
I’ll bet you’d like some SlapChops(tm)!
Well we’ve got plenty in stock!
Operators are standing by!
You’re gonna love my nuts…
i doubt that
…considering I don’t have any
So what your saying is newbie has boobies?
*gives Starfish an A+*

Erm…but Starfish is a guy! :p
awww, nuts! sorry…a little overzealous…meant to squeeze my own…

Either way, they wont stop the AIDS.
Assuming you’re not already on that diet.
anything goes in Singapore
just shower after doing it, stoopid!
white people can’t get aids anyway. only blacks, gays, mexicans and rascists.
General health knowledge fail
yeah, seriously. lol wow
lol, only $6.25
so ur goin 2 get aids?
@raiseer –
Ur such an idiot. Aids, unlike you, doesn’t discriminate. (PS- there are gay white people :O. This may surprise you.) Also Aids is what we call a “disease” similar to people like you.
geez.
And these prices, who can’t afford some.
Hell, my last slut cost way more than that…
Exactly!! At theses prices, how is this a FAIL?!?
lol no way, what do you expect from $6.25, slighty more expensive than a lime juice:P:P lol
penicillin penny, she calls me 101
Not sure why this is a fail that is a good price
Cheap slut!
But why is the PBJ so darned expensive?!?
This is a hotel. They usually charge about $5 for a banana.
Hey, cloral! Can you see the post I have above the PBJ or is it blank? It says awaiting moderation on my end. Just curious.
No, I see nothing on my end. Just the post by “anne marie in philly”.
anne marie in philly? Now I’m lost. I have a post awaiting moderation between ‘vince is on vacation in singapore’ and my PBJ one. Bizarre.
I see it now!
Maybe all the weird nesting of posts before was because we were all replying to a post that was awaiting moderation?
Well…the lack of a “reply” button posed a few problems, too…
Yay! Now my brain can stop trying to figure this out. I wonder if they’ll remove sl*t from their word trap…
SLUT! SLUT! SLUT!!!!!
Not as of 10:42 eastern, they haven’t.
I’m curious as to where this was meant to go.
JudyJudyJudy, darlin’, did you forget your meds again?
*day late squeezes
in one swell foop*
Note: Virtual squeezes have no expiration date. Redeemable at any time. Yay!
What are you doing with that banana!?!
Why $5 for a banana but only $6 for a slut?
Honey, I’ll be happy to take advantage of your services. Just don’t order any bananas while you’re here. I’m no Donald Trump….
Aww…that’s so sweet. Except the only services I
perform here are pancakes, cake and cookies.
The cake is NOT a lie.
Yes, cookies and cake, I know you make. Where’d we get to with my favorite pancake?
But you must choose: cake or death?
Well, where do you get a $6 slut besides Singapore? I hear that the ShamWow guy vince paid at least $8000 for an old, terrible one.
Yeah, no kidding. I should move to Singapore.
Cause the slut comes with a banana. Who pays more than a dollar for a slut anyways?
Isn’t it obvious? The banana is way more pleasurable than the slut.
PeanutButterJellyTime… with a side of singapore s!ut.
… with a baseball bat…
A peanut blo….
Makes sense to me.
that is what I want to know, it costs more than the st*t. does she lick it off your body as some kind of kinky thing? idk
“that is what I want to know, it costs more than the st*t. does she lick it off your body as some kind of kinky thing? idk”
i replied to you with this, but it gave me my own post. what is happening, is it going to break down like yesterday?
OMFG!!! I was replying to Velvet. WTF??!!
Now I reply to you.
And I to you.
Probably.
Turn that wtf to ftw and your problems will be solved.

Mr. Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle Eagle, I conceded the loss yesterday. Any further smacking down on me would be unsportsmanlike. BTW, what does FTW stand for anyway?
For The Win!!
@ Starfish, LMFAO!!!! nice
Starfish for the win!
You know, I been wondering that too. For a few days now. If only someone would be kind enough to post here what FTW means…
@ fluffy….Fluffy For The Win!!!!!! woooo!!
I like that! If only there was a way to abbreviate it…
i think it’s something like FTN or FTS no, no, I remember now, FTW!!!!
FTW? What does that mean?
UMMMMMM…..oh, I’m getting tired of this joke *obliges anyway* For the Win!
I thought it was “feed the world”.
For The Woses.
Sorry Abstract. Just as I was posting that I thought it was unfunny, but I already hit the “add comment” button.
Fluff’s That Woman ^.
Fluffy’s Titanic Funbags?

What I should have said is:
Fluffy’s Titanic Watermelons
Who I am kidding no body reads my posts anyway.

I read them Jules and I laughed. Come out of the corner and have a beer with us.
I do. They are funny.

That’s what I always see first when I see FTW, I actually had to look it up once to figure out what everyone was actually saying.
.
I still see “eff the world” every time. Maybe it’s just my disposition, after all I plan on eating the living some day.
Abstract, I’m just as confused as you are!
now we are good!! almost forgot the ‘d’. now we are goo!!!
Awesome…
No it’s the hotel receipt for the video Dane Cook was talking about “Peanut Butter Smack…How you like me now biznatch!!!”
You know he was more interested in the ShamWow(tm) commercial in the background than in the guy having sex? Damn I am a stud!
It’s probly the kind with the peanut butter and jelly all swirled together……don’t worry about it normal people like us can’t afford it.
Oh…and with the marshmallow fluff, too? And the crusts cut off. Oh, to be one of the elite…
Each peanut was shelled and each grape for the jelly peeled by hand by beautiful and scantily clad hotel workers.
AAAAUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
It’s OK! It’s fixed now. For real!!!
Whew…!
Let’s just hope it stays that way.
Judy’s comment at the bottom of the Fail has me a little worried. Was that meant to be a reply?
Exactly why I’m reserving judgment on the whole “fixed” issue…
Hey, I know! Let’s get Fail Blog a best friend !!!
It’s something to worry about. And I may have compounded the problem. I apologize for this.
Just don’t reply to any posts that kick the replies to the bottom…they came from a post awaiting moderation, apparently.
I will now refrain from commenting on what appears to be the weird random comment orphaned at the bottom of the page.
I’m not convinced that the nesting problem that we can reliably reproduce is the cause of the reply button failure, but better safe than sorry.

This is too much for me!!!Hm…I actually didn’t consider that the two problems were related, though I guess they could be.

Cheaper than the men with mustaches.

That’s just a whiskered rumour. It won’t really happen.
Oh’ goatee, that means the rides are on me.
You’re walrus accommodating like that.
Don’t for get the chin strap; you would not want to fall off.
I’m pleased you reminded me; that was close shave.

Indeed! It would be’ard to hold on if there’s no straps.
So should I pencil you in?

Wha? Baked goods?!
I have the milk!
*milks Ms B*
Now all I need is some cookies.
*slaps Jules’ hands away*
.
NO TOUCHY!!!
Ms B! You thre off Jules’ groove!
*takes his cookies and packs up for the day*
Out early today, me and the freshly baked bunch are outta here!
Have a nice, safe weekend! Happy Memorandum Day!
Wolf, that took me waaaay too long to get! I actually love that movie!
Memorial…
*hates getting phone calls mid-posting*
*snorkity*
*sends Malicite a memorial memo*
What do you celebrate, if it is a celebration on memorial day?
lolz!! I practicly fell out of my chair on that one. By Boyfriend says that to me all the time. wow, that doesn’t make me sound (insert ajective denoting positivity) at all.
@ Emporer. we celebrate all our armed services members.
sorry, meant to mention it is a U.S. holiday
The living ones right, or else wouldn’t it be the same as Remembrance day? or Veterans day?
For Memorial Day, we honor those who gave their lives in the Armed Forces. It is very much like Remembrance Day (which we don’t have in the US).
Which, tragically, is far, far too many people.
thanks dragon, yes, emporer, it is also a lot like veterans day, but correct me if i’m wrong, dragon, that is for both living and deceased military personelle who have actually fought in a war.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
And some occasional death.
WAIT, you don’t have Remembrance day? wow. I always thought you did as well. Well at least I get it now. Well in any case, I am thankful for all the people who fought in service for our countries, those who live on and those who died, so that we all may enjoy our freedom.
Memorial Day honors service members who died in service to their country or have been injured in battle.
Veterans Day is set aside to thank living veterans who serve/have served honorably in the military – during times of war or peace. Deceased veterans are also honored at this time.
We only have the one day, that seems to be a combination of your two days. We remember all who fought and died in service for our nation. All other current soldiers are also thanked.
I’m not your type.
Rawr
Oooh! We made a brewski sandwich. Yummy!!
Do you want fries with that?
oo, off topic funny story… my dad went to the McDonals drive through w/ my mom once. they ordered ice cream sundaes(sp.?). The drive through guy asked, “do you want nuts on those?” My dad said, “on one.” he was misheard, and the drive through guy screamed into the mic., “ON YOUR SUNDAES!!!” (sp.?) LOL!!!!!
*Teabags sundays*
Well he said he want nuts
I need a G’ed’
OMG, Jules, is nothing sacred?? no, not on failblog, I suppose. *lols some more*
The only sacred on fail blog is the Reply botton. All hail the reply button.
Abstract, I had a similar thing happen to me. My friends and I were at a diner, after our meal the waiter asked if we would like dessert. My friend ordered an ice cream sundae, and asked if they had nuts. The waiter then looks down, looks back at my friend and replys, yes.
Ugh! Will someone please pass me the bukkit?
*plonks down bukkit in front of Ms B*
*can’t look*
*can only imagine what things velvet said*
*squeeze*
*super-dooper squeeze*

Where was this hiding earlier?!?
With the other dejected posts of the day…
If they’re going to post comments in limbo, waiting moderation, why must they allow us to reply to them? It just borks the blog! All these little orphan comments who need a home are making me sad
Don’t worry Ms B, Madonna and Branjolina are on their way.
*SNORK!*
double-*SNORK!*
Is anyone keeping track of those?
Who authorized WhoaNellie to take a vacation and shirk his duties like this??
*makes note to reprimand WN on his return*
The PTB did. Not much we can do.
*returns amidst great pomp and circumstance*
Ahem.
*looks at vast pile of uncounted snorks*
*estimates*
SNORK COUNT = 397
Wow. You must have worked some overtime on that one.
Nah – comes natural
Woohoo! I’m glad that’s all cleared up.
Drinkie?
*holds up a bottle of 1800*
Shoot! Again too late for the drinkies!!!
Fear not, Ms B! I’m sure our orphans will find a safe and happy home soon!
And for extra measure: *tickle tickle tickle!*
How did you know my tickle spots!
Heeee!
I told him.
That explains it!
Yup now what explains him knowing your spots again? I always understood “it” :p .
Remember, you get what you pay for.
sluts and nachos…. does it get any better?
Football?
is that standard room service for all hotels in Singapore?
So brothels print receipts now? And provide ALL these services?
Broadening their horizons I guess.
In this economy you have to bundle your services.
Tie it up and put a bow on it! I’ll take it all!
*Snatches economy before Ms B can grab a hold*
Hahaha….wait. EWwwww.
*Gives back economy because it smells like sh#t*
In parts of asia, yes. When visiting on business, the hosts pretty much expect you to accept their “entertainment”.
Or so I’ve heard…
Tell me the places. So I can avoid them ofcourse. *ahem*
Personally, I’m worried that at those prices the sundaes won’t be the only thing on the receipt that had nuts……
I saw a Chinese hotel flier that advertised that they had the cleanest water “to wash away the prostitution”.
LOL!
It looks like the coffee was late. He shouldn’t have to pay full-price for a late coffee!
The coffee was latte?
The coffee had caffeine?
It reminded me of this bit I saw. The comedian was talking about his idiot friend who pointed at a store and said, “look, they have open latte.” The comedian responded, “No you idiot, it says ‘open late’. Latte has another t.” The friend responded, “I’m not talking about tea, I’m talking about coffee!”
Price drops ftw!
Now I can buy eight sluts at a time.

@ Failblog.
My God I hate censors. F#*K the kids.
Slűt! There, take that Failblog!!
SLŰT SLŰT SLŰT SLŰT!!!!
Okay, I feel better now.
Let’s have a beer.
Did someone say beer?
*opens case and hands cold one to Mr. Dreamcoat*
*sprints in at approximately speed of light*
BEER?!
Please please??
It’s Friday, and the owner is going to close the company 2 hours early! And it’s beautiful outside, and should be 70’s F and sunny all weekend! Things are finally going my way!!
Save some beer for the easy chicks.
Ok…now I’m really confused….
It all has to do with people replying to their comments “waiting for moderation”. Any subsequent reply to a post in limbo becomes an orphan comment. Once the post clears moderation, everything will magically fall into place.
Oh this should look just grand once everything falls into place.
Sure, until then though it is PANDELERIUM!
WHY BY ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY are the comments awaiting moderation shown on the page???
I guess for some reason they decided it was better than having the comments eaten by the blogmonster. Now we know that when we try to post something the filters don’t like, that’s why it’s not showing up.
Immoderate moderation?
Squeeze!
But…but…
If the comment was shown on the page, and people replied to it…then it DID show up!
Ohhh, my brain hurts.
All this talk of moderation is giving me a headache. Now where’s that beer, so I can drink it in immoderation?
Dragon, your brain smarts? I agree.
*smooch*
ADMIRAL!!
*smooooooooooooch*
The blog is all wonky, but in different ways than it was wonky yesterday. Every day is a new adventure!
I want beer too!
It only shows up for the person who posted it, who can then reply to it. The replies show up, for some reason, and the rest of us can reply to the replies. These are the orphan comments at the bottom…
.

Wait, what was I saying? Now my brain hurts! Must be that rum Judy slipped in my Coke last night…
*bumps misplaced reply up to proper thread*
Sorry, that was for you DW!

Darn reply button at TOP of thread…mumble mumble…
And now I have a sudden urge to call you Boop. Does that make any sense?
Well, I did boop a lot of noses while inebriated yesterday…but other than that, no clue.
I got it!
*boops Ms B’s nose*
*tries not to boop Ms B’s boobs again*
Hey, you signed the release of liability waiver.
Oh, this is rediculous.

There how does that feel?
I sure hope so, Brewski. That was exasperating!
And thanks for the tune-up, Jules!
You have rum?
Random nesting is allowed?
Ahem. I’d like to point out that the blog worked perfectly fine this morning. It borked today, yesterday and the day before when the Americans arrived! Coincidence?
Ooookay. I posted this at the bottom of the page. I tried to start a new thread. I dunno how that happend!
Arthur, are you saying your “Ooookay…” post isn’t nested for you?? Perhaps each of us is seeing a different failblog?!?! It all looks perfect to me.
I think he’s confused because it IS nested…and he tried to start a new thread at the bottom of the page!
Sort of the opposite of the “orphan post” problem.
BTW, as the moderated posts free up, it is becoming clear … If your posts shows up “awaiting moderation”, DO NOT RESPOND TO YOUR OWN POST!
Thank you!
Prezackly, Dragon.
*SQUEEZIE!*
*squeeze*
Pllllbbbbbbbt. :p
Our baby-boom population is aging, and most have now been seeing their kids off to college or careers. So this has created a lot of empty-nesters. QED.
Can you provide an answer to my problem? My account isn’t working!
*Panicks at future without FB…*
Your comment is awaiting moderation. Please do not comment again until you hear from the Failblog Administrators.
Thank you for your cooperation.

It seems that we can reply in nests that existed prior to FB getting all wonky again.

What does “for the win” mean again??
Oh yeah. FTW.

Hey starfish, ftw means FOR THE WIN!!!!!!
*snork!*
Figures. Things were going so well, until Failblog goes and posts a fail about the word “SLŰT”. Now there’s probably about 100 posts awaiting moderation. I think they should bring back the blogmonster, and just eat them!
Oooh! You made it through using all caps! I’m impressed!

It means funny tasting water.
French Toast Wanking?
Flogging Tramp Wholesale?
Fix This Website!!
we have a winner!!!
Exactly.
Flogging means to sell in England. I was trying to stay on topic.
The price of hookers just keeps dropping.
Actually, the price listed on the receipt is in Singapore dollars. The US price for the sl*t would be $4.28.
That hooker must have had every imaginable STD in the world.
The real fail here is going to the Raffles Hotel and not getting a Singapore Sling. Forsooth.
Is a Singapore Sling similar to a Taiwan Basket?
Phew! I finished my English IGCSEs a few hours ago. Fingers crossed!
What the…why did my comment appear in the middle of some other comments?
Because of all of the ‘awaiting moderation’ comments.
*ding ding* “Sorrry Mr. 5 Eagles we over charged you for the
slut. She said you were so good we are going to pay you”.
Please cume back soon.
There is a drink called the red-headed slut. This is almost certainly what this is. Not a fail.
oooooohhhhh.
you’re absolutely right. I just don’t know if they have them in Singapore..
Singapore is part of the same world as the world where the drink exists.
I know what borked the blog. I tried to post a comment using the phrase “free c**t breakfast” and all hell broke loose. I apologize.
*erases “free breakfast” from list*
It was youuuuuu.
hmmm nachos
Look, it’s a blogging microwave!
That feature usually doesn’t come standard…
Yeah, but does it Twitter?
Oh man! The slut cost less than the peanut butter & jelly! That’s either one really FANTASTIC pb&j or a really lousy slut.
Nevermind the SLUT, $7.50 for a peanut butter/ jelly sandwich?…………WTF?
The blog is unborked! YAY!
The Americans must have fixed it! :p
*snorkity!*
After breaking it. Iraq?
That wasn’t “Americans”. That was the Bush administration. Those are two TOTALLY different things.
Sorry if that was insulting.
(I don’t think Iraqis in general see a big difference…)
Though, Iraq has stabilised greatly since Saddam was executed. Although it is a pretty dangerous nation, they are now almost a democratic country.
It seems so – but what do we really know? It may well be that in a couple of years we have to say that Bush achieved something good by doing something horrible and evil.
Tragic irony and at the same time what we have to wish for.
I don’t know what the Iraqis think other than what I see in interviews. Surely, Iraqis are very conscious of the difference between a people and their government. I would think they would notice a change in policy between US administrations.
I wasn’t insulted, Arthur! But as an American, I do like to remind folks that the Bush administration did NOT speak and act for the majority of the people it governed.
*squeeze!* Sorry if that sounded harsher than I meant it to…I was smiling when I posted it!
Are the words “The Patriot Act” still poison to the American people?
I hope so, BFF!
@Dragon: Whew! *squeeze*
The Patriot Act terrifies me!
Thanks, BFF, now you got that poison running thru my veins. We don’t even have an antidote for it.
To many Americans it never was poison, BFF. Some people think it unpatriotic to question the government in wartime.
That’s somehow scarier when you write it.
*puts a ‘Peace is Patriotic, Too!’ sign on the front lawn*
The years after 9/11 were terrible for me to see. All this rallying behind the president taken to the max, not much criticism and the hectic atmosphere of warmongering and fearspreading… The rise of antiamericanism wasn’t surprising.
I think it was probably just as horrifying–if not more so–on this end, Arthur. It was so incredibly painful to see such abject stupidity and propaganda spread like wildfire and to be helpless to stop it…and to know you would be tarred with the same brush in the eyes of the rest of the world…
*shudders*
Oh I’m sure it was worse for you! I felt mostly disappointed by the USA and at the same time I was shocked how easily all the checks and balances were gone. The propaganda was disgusting, but you certainly heard even more of it than I did (we don’t even have Fox). Having the historic knowledge that I have I felt some scary parallels to Germany’s history. That was the really frightening part for me, and that’ll stay.
The years after 9/11 were governed by fear. It’s still around, but I hope that the election of someone as mature as Obama will help subside the fear and hatred.
*flies to USA*
“THE PATRIOT ACT!!!”
*flies back home*
*wonders if we have another fruitcake here*
To bad it’s not an oyster, at least then we could hold out hope for a pearl now and then.
*chokes on poison, falls dead to floor* help, please
I don’t know about it being poison, but the words “Homeland Security” are the most terrifying ever uttered. Thanks to that particular group there isn’t a single spot in my neighborhood (outdoors) not being surveilled by them.
We have the same problem here in London. The Home Office are creating all sorts of databases, from schoolchildren to the elderly, and there are CCTV cameras everywhere. Councils are even putting cameras in bins to see if we’re recycling properly! They should rename The Home Office, Big Brother.
BFF, I saw the guys putting in the camera (right outside my front door) and asked them what they were doing. The guy said “I’m not allowed to tell you that”. Seriously. I looked at him and asked if HS REALLY needed to put up a camera in this particular neighborhood. He said “I’m not allowed to tell you that.” I wish I were kidding.
I hope so, too.
But still, on a political level there is no difference between the people and their goverment, especially in a democracy. The USA invaded Iraq, not the Bush administration. It is very understandable that Americans who disagreed with Bush point out this difference in opinion. But as much as I have to live with the Shoah as a part of my nations history, the Americans have to live with the Iraq war and all that followed as a part of the US history – not the Bush history.
Again, I’m not intending to offend you!
I know…I’m not offended. Just saddened that I’ll always be blamed for something I was so very much against.
Blamed – no! Not by intelligent people at least. Responsibility and (even more) guilt are personal categories, not universal.
*squeeze*
Oops! *squeeze* back atcha!
No offense taken, Arthur. I agree with what you say, but the Bush administration lied to the American people and Congress in order to invade Iraq. Had the people and Congress known what was going on, the war never would have happened. I truly believe that.
When I think back to the general atmosphere after 9/11 (see above)… Who knows? I’m not sure.
It took time to prepare for Iraq, Arthur. Even with all the suspension of normal practices, there was time for heads to cool. Most Americans were indeed very enthusiastic about invading Afghanistan, not so about Iraq. Even hawkish Americans were thinking “WTF?” regarding Iraq. That is why the administration had to lie.
Sure. But on the other hand, the first victim of war is always the truth. Certainly the… well, world domination plans had to be secret. But there’s always a lie. The question is, will Americans uncover the next lie soon enough? Will they really learn that lesson? I hope so, but I think about Vietnam and Iraq and am scared that it will work again in 10, 20 or 30 years.
I dunno Arthur. In many ways we can’t afford to make this same mistake for a long time. I think we did learn a lesson from Vietnam, and we’re learning painful lessons from Iraq.
The 9/11 attack altered the lens by which we viewed history, no doubt. I’m not sure the response to the 9/11 attack was uniquely American, though. I hope we never find out.
I’m not defending the Bush administration in any way, but they were kind of in a lose-lose situation. If they didn’t act after the 9/11 attack, there would have been just as much criticism as there is now, after they did react. Of course, they botched the whole thing completely.
As you say, Ms B…HOW one acts says more than the mere form of action. The Bush administration had a rare moment to prove its mettle to the world and…well…didn’t.
/understatement of the decade
I disagree, Ms B. Bush thought that his PR and reputation were more important that the lives of people lost in the war. They are not.
You sometimes have to restrain yourself and not react, even tho the blood is pumping in your head and calling for revenge.
Two things, Ms B: 1. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. The war wasn’t a reaction, it was an action. 2. We elect people to run our countries and expect them to be smarter and wiser than we are. If that means making unpopular decisions – so be it. In Germany each and every important decision about the European Union was unpopular, for example giving up our currency for the Euro. But that was the right decision, even if it would have never passed a public vote. Especially when it comes to questions of war and peace I expect my goverment to NOT care about popularity, but to (try to) do the right thing.
This is a real “The end justifies the means” dilemma. Were all those casualties really necessary for the safeguarding of the Iraqi people?
If I were an Iraqi, my first concerns would be security, water, food, shelter, electricity, and gainful employment. They had most all that under Saddam. Only now is it finally getting close to where it was. Lower on the list is political persecution, corruption, individual rights, etc. Those are where they will hopefully gain (well, maybe not the corruption part).
At least the Iraqi government is making progress in rebuilding its nation. Look at Afghanistan, for example. The opium trade is through the roof and the government is one of the most corrupt in the world.
Afghan goverment? You know, they call Karzai the “mayor of Kabul”…
I’m assuming that’s because the Afghan government can only really control Kabul, like Pakistan. It’s a total mess. Let’s hope Obama takes a few wiser decisions than his predecesor.
True true. Warlords and opium traffickers run the rest of the country.
Let’s hope there are wise decisions…
Brewski – and the Taliban. Which is often the same.
If governments actually did something to help people in the tribal and poor areas for a change, then it would neuter all these extremist groups. As it is, mostly what they see from governments is death raining down on them.
True Brewski. But don’t forget that there is the other side, too. Crazy fundamentalist motherfückers who WANT war. These are people we all have to fight. Which inevitably causes civilian deaths. Which fuels the extremists. And so on.
It seems irony is a curse of the USA, the administration they put in to protect the oil countries, the Taliban, is now an enemy of its creator.
I always seem to miss smart people’s time.
Have a great weekend folks! *squeezes all around*
SLUTS ON SALE!
so refreshingafter reading the above thread…
Yes, a sudden outburst is the best cure to a lengthy political discussion.
I, for one, enjoyed the discussion!
Thanks for sharing your opinions, all!
Say, where’s Leila? MRN never got to show off his new clickie to her.
whats a clickie?
When you post, there is a box that says “Website”. You currently have “5eagles” in there. You can put a URL in there, subject to certain restrictions (non-commercial, not obscene, etc etc). People can click your name and voila!
Meegwetch for explanation bro. Whats a URL?
Oh goodness. A URL is an Internet address like “Failblog.org” or “google.com”.
How can you have got here without knowing what a URL is?
BFF, I’d like to remind you of some advice you once gave me: Don’t argue with them and don’t let them upset you.
Did I? Oh, what a hypocrite I am.
Nooo.. that’s not what I meant… Just wanted to say that it’s not worth it.
Oh, I see.
Didn’t LEILA hide in Mr. Cuddle’s luggage?
I think she’s far far away by now.
LOL
Hi Brewski! Been swamped today. I was curious and sought MRN’s link. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.
Too funny!!!!!
-
To MRN, thank you for sharing the link.
Cheap sluts over there! xD
Shlut.
Sorry for the pointless comment, I was having posting problems and that was a test.
*writes “D-” on Grrz’s post*
Thats pretty cheap for slut!
hmmm…I have $6.50. Tea or slut…tea or slut…. I’m awfully thirsty… How slutty is this slut?
Hey! You ate my comment! It was funny too. =(
Happy long-weekend to those who have a holiday! Bye!
Right back atcha. Bank holidays rock!
Looked cheap. Lol.
Accounting will have some concerns about this expense report.
Yeah, I was just thinking about the crap I’d buy for submitting that receipt.
"That's one double cheeseburger and a large coke. Would you like a slut with that?"Can you put her on the side?
I thought sluts in Singapore were cheaper than that.
Only $6.25! I’ll take 3.
Man, for that price you’d think he would’ve ordered three.
Wow! Only 6.25?!
Down
I’ll have mine to go.
That’s a win Sluts are very expensive nowadays.
What is going on here? Comments awaiting moderation? A reply limit? I don't like this new format.It’s like BIG BROTHER has taken over Failblog! Failbloggers! Save yourself before it’s too-
*Thought police smash down door*
Sh*t.
*gives BFF a tin hat*
Will this help?
*puts on hat*
Aaah, that’s better.
Quick BFF to the underground tunnel’s I have created.
*Ushers bff to gaping hole in basement.*
At least we HAVE replies again! We had comments awaiting moderation before, it just never had the decency to tell us that’s why our comment didn’t show up until now.
YAY AVIS CHICAGO 3, DETROIT 0 as of last check.
Umm… what? I assume that you are referencing some sport, but I’m not sure.
Awww, its ok not anymore, now they are tied 3-3. I was referencing the Stanley Cup Playoffs, (Hockey is my current sport until soccer season starts again).
Oooohhhh! You should know, I’m not a sports buff by any stretch of the imagination. I like hockey, if I can go to the actual game. Or if I can play (on land, in regular shoes- I’m kinda clumsy). They’re still doing better than the White Sox, I don’t even like baseball all that much and yesterdays score was embarrassing!
The Chicago Blackhawks have won it in overtime YAAAY. GO AVIS’ CITY!
Thanks, Emp, I’ll be safe and sound heeeeeeeeeeeere…
*plummets*
Its okay I installed a slide. You should reach it about… NOW!
*watches as BFF plummets into the abyss….*
I’m trying to work out what it’s meant to say?
$14 for ice cream?
4 ice creams.
ah, good catch
That’s what I always say about her.
Can’t I compliment you, without you getting embarrassed by now? Sheesh I thought a girl as pretty as you would be used to it by now.
a slut at that price is a win.
Why is this a “Fail.” They’ve been very kind and itemized your entertainment expenses for you and printed them out. Now when the IRS audit comes, I can show them exactly how much I spent on ‘ho’s and sluts. It’s important, since the deduction for that is pretty substantial.
If only the Bunny Ranch would be this kind and cooperative.
technically, if you’re paying for it, doesn’t that make her a whore, not a slut?
SUCK, SQEEZE, BANG, BLOW THAT”S WHAT MY SLUT DOES!
AND MY ENGINE!
Well, I’ll be d*amned, you iz GAY (or so you say). Because too often, the little mites who post such things and/or title themselves that way, “post next.” I find that the consistency of that happening becomes its own perfect illustration of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Excellent job! p.s. “Gay” is only a put-down in the mind of the one who uses it as such.
Wait. What the hell am I doing typing an intelligent, thoughtful, scathing reply to an obvious Cretin? Since that’s the case, nevermind.
Maybe I can hold out the hope that someone else will come along, read it and think something reasonably positive about me. Wait a sec’. On the INTERWEBS!?!?!??? naaaaaaaaaaaah

Tee Hee
and to make things worse, it was a cheap one too…
Nice
Woah, I didn’t know you could pourchase a slut, and for cheap too!
wow sluts have become cheaper and cheaper…
wow only 6.25 for a slut now!
it must be the economy…
I want some Jely too.
So how ARE things over on Drurey Lane?
IT’S PEANUTBUTTERJELY TIME! (Yes, this is relevant. Second item on list)
The real fail is the prices!!!
The slut is practically the cheapest thing on the receipt. Thats not right.
Nice try, Judy!
I’m starting to think I’m the FB jinx. It seemed to be fine, until I came back and posted again. And, here it is, your 8:15 post is BEFORE my 8:14 one. Oh, woe is FailBlog! DOT ORG!
No, it’s just that some of the posts that are failed replies to the orphaned post show up BELOW the nested ones. And it will continue like that, I suppose. I think they just like to mess with our heads.
I’m still wondering why THEY don’t comment on it. Or explain it. Or acknowledge that there is a problem. THEY just post another survey.
I’m with you on this one. In the past, when there have been glitches, they acknowledge them and ask for our continued patience. This is…. different.
*ahem*
They have acknowledgeD them. It’s late. I’m exhausted. No, I don’t want the bukkit. I’m too tired for the bukkit.
*Hides all errors* Excuse my ma’am, but aren’t you the one they refer to as Ms. perfect? I don’t think I have seen you make a mistake, ever…
*whispers*
SHHHHH! She’s sleeping!!!
*Tip-toes away* *Whispers* Sowwy.
Seriously, Emp, what the heck is going on around here, anyway? Is there a bug in the blog?
Actually, I have viewed the html coding on the website before and looking at it now. I can see areas that need a little cleaning up. You could do it too with firefox, but I would not suggest it unless you have computer programming skills.
*covers Avis with a fluffy blanket*
*tucks a teddy bear under her arm*
*starts a soothing “ocean sounds” cd on the stereo*
I like to think they are too frantically working on the problem to take time out to reassure us.
Betcha by golly wow,
they’re the ones that I’ve been waiting for, forever,
and ever will my love for FB,
keep growing strong, keep growing strong.
They've....They've changed.*dramatic music*
Interesting, the Raffles Hotel…
Raffles=ROFLS?
i would love to go to that restraunt
1 slut – 6.25
1 peanutbutter jely – 7.50
4 Ice Cream – 14.00
Having it all together – Priceless
I hope someday you learn that I thought this was an absolutely priceless comment. Truly.
Weekend Win!
I’d say this is a win. $6.25 for a slut. Awesome.
bloody politicians will claim for anything
They sure are cheap…
ooh, peanutbutterjelly with a slut? Couldn’t afford the baconlube so you got the lime juice, huh? It all fits in see!
I think the biggest FAIL is the choice of food. I mean, who goes to Singapore and orders Peanut Butter & Jelly, and Nachos? Did he spend the rest of his time in the hotel room watching NFL?
Probably not, since he bought a slut…
One expensive bitch, that.
dfdsgadgfdsa
wow
which ile can i find this in wall-mart?
can only find walls in wall-mart.
pick one.
i’v been to that exact same deli in singapore. iv never seen any sluts on sale before though haha
That’s no deli, it’s the Raffles Hotel, one of the most famous hotels in the world.
Check out this photo (where”my website” would go (it’s not mine, it’s in Wikipedia)
How is this a FAIL? $7 for a slut? That’s a WIN baby!
Lol.. she was cheaper than the nachos, I hope she was more fun.
in swedish, it meens end=P
But I thought the slut was free with perchuse of Nachos.
“Do you want that super sized for 99 cents more?”
That sure is one cheap slut.
Overpriced fail?
must have been a bad slut if it cost less than the peanut butter sandwich…..
i have a friend who lived in singapore for about 2 years, sadly this receipt probably isnt even a mistake or anything.
There’s cheap, and there’s CHEAP.
god, I’d never thought I’d see the day… A slut is cheaper to get than a PB&J… My life is complete.
CLICK MY NAME FOR ETERINAL HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!1!
Oh wow, at those prices I will take THREE! A good slut in this area alone will run you $250!

No she’s not just a slut…at $6.25 shes a cheapppp……i mean Bargain Slut
Singapore, where the sluts are cheeper than the nacho’s
last
[insert Jack Sparrow wobble]
Clearly, they have never been to Singapore.
So a Slut in Singapore goes for less than a PB&J?!
This is a win, not a fail. You can’t beat the price for a slut. (Even though it was back in 2003)
whoops, must have been my reciept
most likely a drink called a redheaded slut. not a fail by any means. fail perhaps lies with the one who submitted this as a fail itself.
This shouldn’t be on failblog, it should be on Engrish – the receipt’s from Singapore
you’re a fail. considering you dont know that the average singaporean is capable of good english.
Now that’s what I call a cheap slut!
Oh yes… grilled turkey breast and ham. That’s what I like too!!!
i’d like to supersize my slut please.
PeanutButterJely?
DOUBLE FAIL.
I wonder if he gets a discount for cleaning up the cum, and returning her before 12am
There’s also a 6.87 “service charge”. Double fail.
Uhhhh……… win!!?! Yeah.
lol I like how the slut cost less than the PB&J
DUDE, thats totally my receipt. i got the same mistake in mine when i moved to singapore and left, too.
i think the people at raffles like their sluts.
Give me two for the way! xD
Only one?
This person got overcharged, these numbers don’t add up.
I’m pretty sure it was for something like a red headed slut. If you’ve ever been in Singapore, you know that it wouldn’t be totally unheard of to get such a western drink.
lol
And not only that, a CHEAP slut.
Nice Blog, funny fails!
Can I get my slut to go? … and btw – it’s awesome to know that the slut you’re getting in singapore is cheaper than the Garlic Twists & PB & Js you’ll be ordering to give you an energy boost that you’ll be needing!!!!
That’s not a fail, it’s a BARGAIN
I bought a slut at McDonald’s before!!!
$5 for TEA?! IMO, that’s the real fail here! :S
Peanut ButterJely costs more than a slut!? Grocery inflation is out of control. I would take the ice cream for $14 over either of those choices though.
oh my god this is awesome!
It’s obvious that this slut was a la carte.
Your Mum.
Now on sale in supermarkets
Singapore sucks and I’m a Singaporean
I think the real failure is payin $7.50 for a pb n j
only one , and AT THAT PRICE
jelly definatly is supposed to have 2 L’s
What was that SUPPOSED to say?
Well, that’s the most convenient deli I’ve ever seen
wow, singapore? i am from singapore and that place that sells sluts seems to be in beach road… mmm i am wanting a slut for dinner.
One slut for that low, low price? Sounds like win to me.
God that cheap!
Where do i get one?
Lmao that’s a cheap slut
I’m pretty sure they cost more than that.
This isn’t in USD people… for those who think it’s expensive.
Raffles Hotel is also a pretty pricey place… Along the lines of the Hilton or the Hyatt… hence the prices.
Point of terminology:
that’s a cheap whore, alright,
but a slut will do it for fun.
At that price I would have gotten two
Haha, this is from my country.
haha
Wow. seems they’re getting cheaper!
Wow, you never see them on the shelves at Publix…
YAY! ONLY 6.25 FOR 1! THEY USED TO BE $30 EACH!
$6.25?!?
Is it worse that the ice cream was more than TWICE as much as the slut? Maybe it was flavor? I-SCREAM ;D
I dunno what’s more FAIL. the fact that it says 1 Slut, or that a PB & J sandwich costs more than a slut, lol
I knew it!
No, thanks. I’m more in the mood for a nice grilled turkey breast, ham & swiss.
