Happy Birthday, Fruitcake.
Ready for the birthday bumps?
Am I allowed to say happy birthday to a person that I’ve never met?
As long as you introduce yourself first!
I’ve never been good with introductions, so sorry if I screw this up.
Hi.
Hi Chronos! Welcome to Failblog! You even have an avatar, so I’d say you’re off to a shining start!
Normally that’s done by letting them sniff your butt. Right?
Hmmm…Chronos, i seem to remember you from another fail.
*eyes Chronos’ face*
Yeah, I made a few replies a few months ago, though they weren’t given much attention. If you think I submitted a fail, that was some other guy.
Can I say happy birthday to someone I’ve never met?
Happy Birthday Fruitcake!
Also welcome chronos, (or combot55)
*starts game of russian roulette*
No, get squeezed by brain scientists.
I guess that would be a question for the brain scientists.
Happy Birthday.
*group squeeze* Morning everyone!
*squeezie*
.
Good morning, Malicite! Coffee’s ready, everyone!!
*cheers*
Hurray! How are you this week?
So far, so good! Work load is lighter this week. I’ve only been fighting with 3 computers instead of 12+.
.
How are you?
Meh, I had a really weak weekend, but I got all snazzy for a fundraiser tonight. *likes to dress like a professional occasionally*
Aw, sorry your weekend wasn’t all bang-up awesome. I bet you look mahvelous today! What kind of fundraiser? Are you speaking, presenting, etc?
I’m actually getting paid to do stuff. That’s literally all I know. That and I get to meet the Mayor of Philadelphia. That should be spiffy. What’s the fundraiser for? *shakes his head*
*squeezes all around*
You didn’t even ask? For all you know, it might be a fundraiser for the Illinois Nazi Party!
I hate Illinois Nazis…
They don’t have a solid economic plan.
Also, nobody wants to hear about eugenics from a 350 pound man in a wifebeater, with a brat in one hand and Old Style in the other.
No no, they look like this.
Hey, you had me at getting paid. That’s cool! Try to get your photo with the mayor and maybe it’ll end up in the local paper!
I’m going to make my way into the paper…one way…or another…
Headline from tomorrow’s Inquirer:
PARALEGAL MOONS THE MAYOR
A bored paralegal streaked across stage as Mayor Nutter stood at the podium addressing a crowd at a local fundraiser. Police attempted to subdue the unidentified streaker, but found him covered in a slippery oily substance that smelled like bacon. He was eventually captured, and is now being held without bail.
my father-in-law once pissed off a photographer and got a picture on the front page of the L.A. Times making a really stupid face.
Brewski – *SNORK!*
WIK – What was the headline? “World exclusive: Guy makes stupid face”?
HAAHAHAHA thanks guys…that was awesome…
Paid to do “stuff”. Uh-oh… Better insert a potato before you go there!
By Rocket Surgery! I think you are right.
Give me one Irish potato, stat!
you must live near me. I’m in PA, Just north of Philly.
I live in Manayunk.
*raises eyebrow* how do you pronounce that?
It’s actually not that bad: Manny-yunk. (That’s how I pronounce it at least.)
A tricky name is the river that flows through Manayunk: Schuylkill River.
“skill-kill”?
Depending on the person, it is “school-kill” or “school-cull.”
There’s a stream in New Hampshire named “Quokquinapessakessanannagnog”.
The name flows further than the body of water…
*hugs furry chicken* ahh… don’t we love that rocket surgery? *hums creepy nostalgic tune*
*squeeze* backatcha!
The fact that someone thought to take a picture of my marquis reveals that it did not fail. “Rocket Surgery” was intended to be noticed.
marquee…”marquis” is a car, or a title of nobility
oh, thanks.
“brain surgery” is much more humorous, memorable, and eye catching. Which, of course, is the purpose of the sign.
rocket science maybe
Mixed metaphors are a comedic device.
This is poking fun at those too dense to accept the obvious.
This photo is not a Fail, it’s a Win.
It’s not a fail you dimwits, it’s meta humor. A combination of rocket science and brain surgery. This phrase is widely used.
What we have here is a fail fail.
Yes I realize it’s not spelled correctly, that’s part of the joke.
Let’s see how many metas we can cram in here.
I’m wasting my time. No one reads these, and those that do won’t get it.
Just as good as a rocket Psychiatrist.
Wasn’t their a commercial that had a guy say “rocket surgery”, though? I just presumed they were quoting that.
“surgery”?
“Rocket”?
“And”?
.
*squeeze*
“Us”?
*squeeze back and up there ^*

Oops!
“Sunday”?

Ow. *rubs pinched area*

Where’s the cake? The ‘real’ cake … chocolate to be exact.
*Leila squeeze*
*squeeze Malicite*
Hope you are having a good day.
I am having a day! *smirks*
I hope your day is going wondrously!
LEILA!
*POUNCE!*
It’s great to be alive Malicite.

‘morning Brewski. Now, if you will excuse me, I must tend to a few broken bones after that pounce. *squeeze*
LEILA! *Pounce*
How did you escape from Mr Cuddle’s suitcase?
Umph!!! OW! *limping* Hi Boobie!!! I haven’t escaped – I am teleporting.
BOOBIE *Pounce*
Sorry I thought you were someone else!
*embrace*
*legs it*
ooops. yep
So it’s also brain science?
Neurology?
Lobotomy?
Colostomy?
Well Jules can be the Dogma!
A mixed metaphor, even if it sings, should be derailed.
It’s a win.. this is a popular saying.. it’s called ‘humor’
Lol, i say that all the time
I don’t know, I think this mixed metaphor is slicker than a cat’s ass on a brass doorknob!
That’s not all that slick…a bird’s ass now, that’s slick!
Yep, better than a cat’s meow on sliced bread.
Well, butter my butt and call me bisquit!
*grabs tub of butter*
Where did you say you wanted this again?
I guess Judy really asked for it, didn’t she?
She didn’t say the magic word though.
Nope! Ain’t gonna do it! You can’t make me say potato!!!
You don’t have to say it, you just have to feel it inside of you wanting to come out.
They don’t need science; they are religious.
They must be Scientologists.
Comment win!
*squeeze*
Happy Birthday FSA!!!
*squeeze*
Thank you! We’re having a party a few comments up!
*gets ingredients*
what flavor do you want your cake?
I can make any kind!
I didn’t realize another cake would be made! XD
It is your B-day! Screw the rules we have cake!
The cake is a lie!
But it’s such a good dancer!
Yes it is. Too bad I have to go now.
Cya tomorrow everyone!
Goodbye!
In Soviet Russia, the lie is a cake!
I literally just laughed out loud. (LLOL perhaps?)
So we have more cake!
Sundays at 9am? Hell no, I won’t go!
Oh, Arthur, now everyone’s wondering why I’m roffling!
btw, it’s 9am Sunday in Orange County California, that’s a long commute for you.
I wanted to get there on my knees to repent for my sins. Then I reconsidered.
Just remember to swallow after you drink.
Reading that in this context makes me glad I’m not a nine-year-old…
And one of those ministers is too randy for me. I’m with Arthur!
good old Randy Elliot, he’s the reason Billy got into dancing and potato’s
*squeeze*
You’d tap that?
*squeeze*
damn straight, I mean gay, I mean potato
Is that your final offer?
you know me, quick finisher
Wow, that is fast food!
We start at the same time, I don’t know what her problem is.
I can’t wake up at Don’s early light.
It’s Goodwin you can get a lie in.

*touch jam with glowing ET finger*
Euclid do that a bit higher if you want.
(assumes it says Euclid *shrugs*)
pronounced yook-lid but, it works
*squeezes WhatIKnow*
*fills up a chicken paste jar with the contents*
What I know wouldn’t fill a jam jar.
I dunno… well, what do you know! it does!
Do you want it sunny side up?
Christ Jules! I’ll need rocket surgery to remove it!
Common, you know you love it.
Did you just call me Common?
*sobs and runs for the hills*
God, stupid spell check, always making the wrong assumptions.
‘Comeon’ it changes to ‘common’ not ‘come on’
[Geordie accent] It’s nee gud noo man; am up in the hills but ye can come’n join us if ye like! [/Geordie accent]
I’ll head up, but who are the others?
There’s no others, it’s just my accent.
I’m off now to administer books. Might see you on Sunday.
*waves*
I am on everyday after 9am.
I’ll be waiting
Hate to be ‘that guy,’ but saying something is ‘rocket surgery’ is usually done on purpose by someone making a funny. I would wager that the failure here is the poster not being up-to-date on the latest annoying joke memes.
But I wanna be The Guy…
*plays IWBTG*
It’s your Birthday so…
you can get away with the “IWBTG”
Do FB’ers dislike IWBTG?
We do, but thankfully, we don’t have a ‘dislike’ button to click, so you win this round.
Erm… K, sorry I mentioned….
I wasn’t going to mention it, but… your wood seems to be rotten. You should wash it more often.
Touching one’s special area is a sin. Even with a loofah.
Wood you like to borrow the E.T. finger? It glows!
*gasp* you don’t say? wow, without you I would have never gotten the grasp of humo(u)r! Thank You!
I agree, this is a joke, not a fail. Taken from the trusted urbandictionary (never cite this in research, everyone):
Rocket Surgery
(n.) a play on words which mixes two common metaphors: “rocket science” and “brain surgery”
A line in a hilarious Chris Rock comedy act states that one shouldn’t eat green meat. No kidding. It doesn’t take a degree in rocket surgery to figure out something like that! ;oD
by fugitive247 Nov 7, 2004
True, but how many religious orders do you know with a sense of humour?
I don’t know about you, but I find the Amish to be hilarious!
What’s hilarious about the Amish?
They stick to their principles, but you can see it in their eyes-they just know that barn would go up faster if they had a circular saw and a nail gun.
-
Don’t they make the teenagers leave at some point so they can experience life other than what they’re accustomed to? If I remember correctly, most of them return.
I’m not sure. I was just trying to make a joke, and the Amish were the first to come to mind. You, intentionally or not, have proven to me that I am an unfunny oaf and should not be trusted to tie my own shoes. Everyone else rejoices, and I die a little inside.
*pulls lower lip over head and swallows*
Try the Mormons they are much funnier. *goes to compound to commune with polygamists.*
psst!
Polygamists and Mormons aren’t the same thing.
I know. I’m desperately searching for something funny in a religion.
I will just go sit with x-phile and cry a bit.
Come on, we’ve got to be Abel to come up with something!
Ok.
Carry on then!
*hands Fonz a hankie*
I think I cain do something with that!
I’m Adam(ant) about turning this into a pun run.
David.
I can call you David, right?
Well David not everything can be made into a pun run.
Aw … I am sorry X-Phile. I just find the Amish fascinating. I didn’t mean to make it all serious. No reflection on your humor, I promise.
Truth be told, I didn’t see your smiley until after I had posted, but just decided to go with it anyway.
…and the truth will save you!
-
I don’t know what that means …
Wow! Maybe it’s because they do not have adults to show them the way.
Like Catholic priests.
Whoa! *flees thread*
And how many religious orders listen to Chris Rock?
Quote: gaynorvader
“True, but how many religious orders do you know with a sense of humour?”
Most of them…. It’s their attackers that tend to be ones to deliberately disturb others’ rights to have fun within their own faith.
The funniest religious jokes (and the most blasphemous) I’ve heard were told by clergy – usually at the expense of their own religious denomination…..
But, it’s the ones that aren’t funny that end up creating the comedians making jokes about them in particular (Ex: over-strict religous schools and George Carlin)
And those that ridicule people for their beliefs that have never been religious at all, are the unfunniest of all.
It’s sad that many churches don’t have a sense of humor. Too many are so pious they forget that God invented humor… it’s just sad. Besides if you can’t laugh at life and yourself, then you’re just screwed.
My pastor is always cracking jokes the whole sermon long – especially if someone’s cell goes off during the service. You don’t want to be that guy with a $6 ring tone.
A rabbi and a priest are driving separate autos on a mountain road during a very bad snow storm. The priest is driving down the mountain. The rabbi is driving up the mountain. They meet on a narrow curve in the road. Their autos crash. The priest’s auto goes down over the hillside and smacks into a large pine tree. The rabbi’s auto crashes into the side of the mountain. Both autos are seriously damaged.
The rabbi is not hurt. He climbs out of his tangled mess runs down the hillside to find the priest slumped over the steering wheel. The rabbi says, “Father, are you hurt? Are you all right?”
The priest regains consciousness and responds, “I’m O.K.”
The rabbi asks, “Would you like a small shot of whiskey?”
The priest responds, “That would be nice.”
The rabbi hurries up the hill, goes to the glove box of his auto, takes out a small silver flask of whiskey and then returns to the priest. He offers him a drink. The priest takes one generous swig then hands the bottle to the rabbi who says, “Please take one more. You’re in such pain.”
The priest obliges. Then after the second drink the priest offers the flask to the rabbi again who declines, insisting there isn’t much and he should take one more drink. After the third drink the priest asks the rabbi, “Aren’t you going to have a drink with me?”
The rabbi takes the flask, immediately puts the cap on it, and hands it back to the priest and responds, “I’ll have a drink after the police arrive.”
And this is why I love being Jewish
I used to be Jewish , but you know, you grow…
Here is a thinking person.
A rare and dying breed.
Hey, I’ve been using ‘rocket surgery’ and ‘brain science’ for a while now as humorous emphasis.
Maybe this was on purpose.
Maybe it’s Maybelline.
or maybe she’s born with it.
Oh f***
Your face belongs to Noxzema
Noxzema’s like a peeing furnace
You see what you made me do?
Sorry Cloral. How does a furnace pee?
Not really sure. It’s an earworm from when I was in 4th grade. I think my friend was annoyed that he inadvertently recited the ‘Your face belongs to Noxzema’ line that was so prevalent at the time. So he added the second line, which makes no real sense.
Either way, if you click my name you’ll get an interesting image regarding the phrase. (and yes, it is totally SFW)
Are you a member of clergy?
yep
Sign is a WIN. Not getting the joke = FAIL.
It even is a Goodwin. Maybe an original.

Don’t tell me no one’s heard of open circuit surgery?
I think we got our wires crossed.
That’s just shocking.
Way to follow my lead.
You just gotta adapt to these sorts things.
You have no grounds for that statement!
Please keep your comments current.
Was that directed at me?
Yes, you keep alternating between subjects.

But he has a lot of potential…

Has anyone seen my electron microscope? I need it for the rocket surgery.
Olur, you have been getting a lot of static here lately.
I can’t keep up with you guys, the way you’re arcing all over the place!
I try to conduct myself accordingly…
Can we switch subjects?
I will relay that proposal.
Don’t transfer me to another line.
Sorry, I was on a power trip.
b2th you’re the splice of life
Welld one!
Gee, thanks! I have alot of leftover energy from the weekend!
(argh I fail…)
You get really slow when you’re this old ergo I am bound to make mistakes.
Do you have hot flashes yet?
Hey I’m a man, all I worry about is this parkinson that runs in the family.
(I’m really not that old
)
B2F, i have one of your mother, thats pretty hot
Unless you make the connection.
I use a 3 prong approach in these situations…
AC what you’re doing there.
DC what I did there?
I’d link my site to my name, but that would be a shameless plug.
Put a socket it Judy!
You can’t say that to Judy. You are grounded Buster.
Sorry, just trying to generate more interesting comments.
Hey, B2F, I’m not wired that way!
positively!
Ahhh, finally a thread with no negative comments.
It’s the power of positive thinking.
I refuse to read so many posts!
ohm-y don’t stop now!
Well, the comment load can be quite high in these circuits…
Indeed, someone should meter these responses.
This ones a joule.
this one is a volt.
Absolutely, and the field tests are really impressive.
Resistance to failblog is futile.
Diode-ly hope it continues.
That’s my electromotive.

I’ll keep an ion you.
O so I’m a freak when systematically plugging radical choices?
Try to stay current with this. Ron Paul is so yesterday.
mho(ut) of here! see you all later!
I don’t believe you guys are still going, don’t your fingers hertz?
Maybe the puns are starting to impede on certain structural qualities of this thread but I’m all for it
It’s to late to insulate this thread from the others.
They just want you to react. An’ certainly, it seems to be working.
At least we’ve had a decent run without any interference from [t-h-e-m]!
Well, we’re safe now that FB has removed the 300 cap as it ate some of the posts before…
I mean, All we want is to change irate or sulky people’s mood!
(I’m out for now, being at work this late an’ sitting limply and static at the desk is just hair-raising

Lighten up! It’s still funny!
Goodbye Mr A
And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time
I can’t help but notice that’s a slang dictionary.
And are you against slang dictionaries? They have probably more use that an actual dictionaries nowadays (which is just sad)
That’s a good thing to have against slang dictionaries! But really it’s because slang comes and goes; rocket surgery might be gone in a year or two.
and it takes ‘brain science’ to figure it out

did you know? i’m a CERTIFIED rocket surgeon.
Wow, did you go to med school or engineering?
(The two comments below here are redundant)
both! i am such a winner.
did you stay in the hippocampus?
I use the phrase “rocket surgery” all the time. It is a joking mix of the obvious phrases “its not brain surgery” and “its not rocket science”. it is not a fail in this case.
Not a win either…
Could be a draw?
Could be a lose?
A tie!
Guilty.
Objection your Honor!
Overruled.
Rocket Surgery joke was used in movie Mystery Alaska by Mike Myers pretending to be a Donald S Cherry character.
Thank you. Been using that for years.
rocket surgery is a joke ive been saying for a while
it was in a movie
its a play on words
FAIL AT FINDING FAILS
WTF?! READ THE GODDAMN POSTS STOP REPEATING WHAT OTHERS HAVE ALREADY SAID!
Sorry for shouting everyone!
*boops GV’s nose*
Hee hee! Life is easier if we just ignore the trolls.
*runs off*
I know, I just got annoyed because it was the same thing 3 times in a row with a good ten minutes in between them.
*rubs nose*
who knew Irish dragons were so loud! *rubs ears*
I recall once that you told me you’ve no nose. Did you grow one?
No, but Ms B got my snout, which i translated as nose to make it easier to understand.
Eh, you were just blowing steam (or fire?), everyone does it.
Hey Gaynor, I just noticed something. It seems to me that “rocket surgery” is a deliberate combination of the phrases “rocket science” and “brain surgery”. What do you think?
I think it should be called brain rockets. rocket is also a type of vegetation.
Arugula surgery?
Lettuce operate!
Peas be gentle!
Get the equipment peppered.
Corn I help?
Sure, it has bean awhile since the last time I did this.
Wow! I don’t think I’ve seen you lose it completely gaynor. LOL

You are in serious need of a dragon massage – is there a spa you can go to nearby? My treat.
They don’t seem to do spas for dragons, how odd! I guess I’ll just relax on my bed of gold, that usually does it. I’ve been away from it too long!
I passed a truck yesterday advertising equine and canine massages. I’ll have to call and see if they can handle dragons…
Oooh! Sounds promising, although last time I went to the vets she said I was too hot to handle!
Judy, funny you should mention canine massages. When we massage our dog’s backs they just melt in your hands. They make a weird face too … as crazy as it may sound, they look like they smile.
Yea especially when you massage his “red rocket”
Dogs don’t own rockets silly! They don’t even like vegetables!
Yes they do. Carrots especially.
Hmm, that’s true actually my doggie used to eat potatoe peels. Alright I’ll rephrase my statement; dogs don’t keep vegetables!
Dogs are always smiling!
I have a book that is just too hilarious. If you find it you have to read it. Title is “How To Massage Your Cat”. It’s illustrated. Look for it at your favorite bookstore!!
LMAO!! I have to find it on Amazon. For those who attempt and dare to massage a cat and live to tell about it deserve a throphy.
Wasn’t there some kind of joke going round the interwebs about how to give a cat a bath? A whole long story, involved bandages and stitches, and the like.
I remember that too Judy. I have to see if I can find it.
*hands GV a valium*
Take this, you’ll feel better.

Damn, this always happens!

Aren’t you supposed to swallow it?
Hey! GV I think it’s a suppository!
That better be something to do with supposin’ or I’m in for a rough night!
most of the time…
Front what? Erm…yes? *moves 20 feet away* I am here for you.
guys? a little help?
… guys?
I could grow big enough so you could walk up it, if that helps?
*backs up slowly, turns and runs for dear life, screaming and waving arms*
Oh well! *sighs* Thanks for trying!
WIK is going to need a valium now.
She’ll have to wait a few hours first.
Read the other posts? Have you read them? Most of the other posts are crap and have nothing to do with the actual topic. Out of 500+ posts only 10-20 actually discuss the actual pic and are easy to miss amongst the crap.

I know exactly where that is.
33°54’2.17″N
117°56’29.22″W
2255 N Euclid St, Fullerton, CA 92835
So, at least one geocacher reads failblog.
There is a mass amount of cachers and caches in Fullerton and orange county in general. Its like a private language with coordinates. Where do you cache? i got one at 33°48’8.97″N 117°57’34.04″W
I’m not a cacher, but I can spot the telltale signs of one! I work with an avid geocacher.
I saw this driving home. Sadly I didn’t have my camera and I didn’t want to get in an accident. Thank god someone else got it, though!
God, some Christians can’t seem to help themselves can they (just like most other people).
If you can’t laugh at yourself you’re failing at life. Accept it; to put that sign there was most likely a fail, it doesn’t mean you’re stupid it’s just a fail. To have such an esoteric pun on a advert just isn’t a church’s style me thinks
What would be church style?…..”insert missionary comment here”,but really all inclusive doesn’t bring to mind one style or another
One aspect is that i’ve never seen a church billboard that’s as esoterically jovial and another is that “rocket surgery” is not a commonly accepted combination of phrases (unlike some that comment here propose).
Are you christian?
We could go on about the number of people who actually know and use this phrase for ages and not come to a satisfactory conclusion; people are stupid (or just scared maybe?) in general and seem to want to defend a belief in their god made by another man.
Nothing is provable, even the notion that nothing is provable is not provable; look up Sextus Empiricus.
Good bye, I wish you well in trying to be intelligent and not being naive
*cranes neck to look up*
That’s an awfully high horse you’re on there, can I pet it?
i am a christian……..indeed
does’nt make me humorless occasionaly stupid but not humorless
I put the phrase on the sign to gain attention. I succeeded beyond what I imagined. Christians are not all devoid of humor.
I’ve seen all kinds of jovial church signs. Also, “rocket surgery” is indeed a common colloquialism. It’s obviously a joking combination of “rocket science” and “brain surgery.” It’s a very old joke, so they probably assumed most people would understand it. Perhaps some people are just scared that a few religious people actually have a sense of humor and knew something that they didn’t.
The notion that nothing is provable is demonstratably false. Furthermore, all of mathematics and logic fail if nothing is provable.
proof by contradiction:
assume: “For all statements x, x is false” (which is simply a restatement of “There does not exist a statement x such that x is absolutely true,” since anything not absolutely true is false where logic is concerned.)
step 1: Substitute the assumed statement as x into the assumed statement.
The result of step one contradicts the assumption, so the assumption must be false, so there must exist a statement x such that x is not false (which is to say, x is absolutely true.)
“Good bye, I wish you well in trying to be intelligent and not being naive”
Understanding a joke is not being naive, but nice try.
I knew a stripper named Sunny Hills.
Nuh uh!!!
I love your name, is it your real one.
TY 2thFairy. Nah…it’s a name I wish I had in real life. I am just using it for my internet persona.
I’m impressed that they at least used the right form of “it’s.”
If that all it takes to impress you, boy have I got something to show you.
+’s
Remember, “showing” is not a contact sport, B2th.
I’m just trying to find someone who wont giggle.
Maybe her mouth was open for a different reason? But then, I’m an optimist.
Maybe “telling” is your best option.
ROFL! Thanks Jules
I’m sure this church appreciates their phone number being posted on here.
They were advertising it anyway!
Yep Boosh!
Love God and others. Not just your Pocket Rocket.
Completely unrelated:
Thank you, beloved makers of FailBlog, for putting an end to mindless scrolling! DOWN WITH THE 300 BARRIER! WOOHOO!
*throws confetti*
YAY! Let us throw a party in honor of this momentous occurance!
What if it came in a ROCKET CAN!!!
That is a deliberate pun. The FAIL is a Church using something that looks like a Wendy’s sign.
Hey, aren’t they suppose to blur out the address and phone number?
*gives himself a d*
*gives Mal pom-poms and a short pleated skirt.*
GIMME A D!
Ooooh … Mal in a short pleated skirt? *sits and watches*
I knew today was a bad day to wear a thong…
*walks in*
Hi guys! Uh… wha?
Mal… you really need to “mow the lawn”, ya know?
*leaves*
*grabs hold of Brewski’s leg* NOPE! You’re not going anywhere since you discovered that Mal needs some man-scaping help. Here’s a trimmer … good luck!
I’ll do it!
*Draws sword*
Yike!
Help this rocket is bleeding, and it smells burnt toast. Can anyone help?
*tosses Emperor some jam*
Anyone got peanut butter?
That’ll be $7.50, please.
*offers PB*
You gotta come get it though!
While your at it, could you, hehe, lend me some sugar?
*smooch*
Whatever you need!
Right back at ya!
*smooch*
Well, now that you mention it…
Your wish is my command. What is it you request of me? How may I serve that whom I am unfit to be near?
You really want my soul?
Sorry! I get carried away sometimes! I’m easily drunk with power.
Well if that is what it take to ensure I get to be with you for a very long time, show me where to sign, where is that dotted line?
Guys, this is a WIN. Rocket Surgery is a meme popularized by the leader of the World of Warcraft guild Juggernaught. http://www.ketchuponline.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=1355
Urban Dictionary also has this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rocket+surgery
This is a win.
glad that someone pointed that out. It’s a pretty common saying where I am.
I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.
Also if you don’t make it, we understand why.
ne one noticed the sign unnerneath seems to say
2255
N FUCUP ????
It says North Euclid. Sheesh!
What’s North Euclid?
I runs at a right angle to West Euclid.
You can’t see the bottom bit of the letters for the car roof.
It’s true! And if you use x-ray vision, you just see the inside of your monitor!
It’s very useful for monitor surgery.
actually, there is such thing as rocket surgery…
Lies!!!
This isn’t a fail. “Rocket Surgery” is almost as popular a turn-of-phrase as “Rocket Science”.
In America maybe, but I’ve never heard of it until today, so I’d have to disagree that it’s anywhere near as popular a phrase as “Rocket Science”.
I use the phrase “rocket surgery” all the time. It’s a mashup of Rocket science and brain surgery. Either to indicate something that is exponentially more difficult than those professions, or to do a “redneck” representation of the term rocket science.
not a fail
Brian J fail!
Frank Caliendo also used a version of this during a GW Bush impression “whatta ya think I am, a rocket surgeon?”
It’s not “rocket surgery” is a trademark, I think.
THIS VIDEO CONTAINS FAIL
It is common to combine those two phrases into one. They were trying to be witty on purpose.
I remember that “rocket surgery” line from the movie Hidden Secrets. Maybe it’s older than that, but maybe that church had watched the movie not long before making that sign?
Gosh, even a newbie like me can spot a troll. London, would you like a potato?
The term “rocket surgery” has actually been around long before things like WoW, it was featured several, several years ago in a commercial to – if I remember right – introduce syrup under the Eggos brand.
That’s where my family picked it up, and we’ve been using the term ever since.
Same here!
Hey, at least they can use an apostrophe.
Rocket surgery is actually a valid term used on the internet. So not fail, IMO. It is supposed to be a funny take on Rocket Scient and Brain Surgery since both of those are used in the same context…
“It isn’t rocket science!”
“It isn’t brain surgery!”
I believe the most important part of your post was “…a valid term used on the internet.
I believe the most important part of your post was “…a valid term used on the internet.”
i believe the most important part of that post was that theres two of it
That’s because it was so important!
“an excellent suggestion with only two minor drawbacks”
1. it’s a valid term used on the internet
2. it’s a valid term used on the internet
well, at least we still have our defensive shields.
That’s funny, I don’t care who you are.
I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you!
because idiots don’t understand the difference between the center of the nervous system and hydrogen combustion
This blog FAILED to understand the clear sarcasm of the sign.
Their wording seems quite intentional.
Sort of like: “Pobody’s Nerfect”
thank you!
the term “rocket surgery” is just a witty way of combining brain surgery and rocket science. people use it all the time.
They do.
You know what those people are called?
Idiots.
You know what the people calling them idiots are called?
morons.
I want rocket surgery…
God is great, Beer is good, And people are crazy
omg is this in huntington beach/fountain valley, ca?
it’s fullerton,
but that’s a kinda old sign
Rocket Surgery is a joke, people just combine Rocket Science and Brain Surgery to be witty.
Dude, I think I passed that place the other day. Dunno if that’s the same sign they had up though.
Quite honestly, I’ve heard brain surgery, and I’ve heard rocket science, but I’ve never heard them combined. Sounds stupid to me.
See, and I thought I heard it first on Trailer Park Boys.
hey, that’s what my ELA teacher says!
that marquee was from around november-ish
Rocket Surgery was the original title for the upcoming Styles of Beyond album, but i think it was changed to Reseda Beach.
Intentional
Another Failblog FAIL. Way to suck, dudes.
*unsheathes sword*
*blade flashes!*
“Alas another dead troll to be burned and tazed for the heck of it.”
Alas another with skills of the blade.
The power of Christ propels you!
Rocket Surgery = Rocket Science * Brain Surgery.
Can be used for either
a) Indicating a task that’s much harder than rocket science, and/or brain surgery.
b) In a sarcastic manner, to indicate the simplicitly of something by pretending to use one of the aforementioned terms, but mashing them up.
fail blog is failing.
Yeah this isn’t a fail
No, no, Rocket Surgery is the derivative of y=(Rocket Science)*(Brain Surgery).
“Rocket Surgery = Rocket Science * Brain Surgery”
there is no product here
just subtraction
Rocket Surgery = Rocket Science + Brain Surgery – Brain – Science
assuming “Rocket Science” and “Brain Surgery” are not products themselves
although, i will agree that it is a funny double negation
“I do not know nothing!”
Awesome!
Love this blog!
It’s intentional.
In an attempt to expose failure, failblog ends up failing.
yep, taking on the deity ending in failure………who’de a thunk it
Why is this picture taken from a car with a broken windshield? That part involves fail. Fails are seen as negative in our society so double fail should be Win.
Humor FAIL!
For the humor impaired, “rocket surgery” is an intentional mix of “brain surgery” and “rocket science”.
Yep, not a fail. It’s just humour. In fact, a mate of mine is in a band called Rocket Surgery… Their next album is gonna be called “It’s Not Brain Science”
Um, excuse me…it’s not a fail, it’s irony. Want proof? Google “Boaz Weinstein rocket surgery”. Why do some people assume that religious types aren’t as capable of plays on words as “intellectuals”? How’s that for a conversation starter?
Largely because we get so few examples of this ability in religious types. At least, that’s been my experience.
:p
Uhm, think they’re making fun of paris hilton’s show my BFF.
A girl on the show said that.. haha,
so the rocket died?
stoopid
I thought I might have a chance to impart some wisdom, but it appears the rest of the world has beaten me to the point and then proceeded to impart humor at its finest.
I guess all I have left is this: “Rocket Surgery” is like saying someone is the “sharpest crayon in the attic.”
Haha! I think I’m gonna have to start using that one.
I have a slight feeling this mishap was intended.
I am pretty sure thats a win!
Not a fail; I have also heard the phrase “rocket surgery” many times. Rocket science + brain surgery = rocket surgery. It’s an actual saying- a dumb one, IMHO, but a fairly common saying nontheless.
people have WAY too much time on their hands.
this was meant to catch people’s attention.
goal met.
you can always count on the OC to advertise with stale humor
how is this a fail? it’s obviously meant in a facetious manner.
Rocket Surgery is a punchline from a Dilbert cartoon. It ain’t a fail. It’s a win.
I’ve been saying rocket surgery for years. It’s an intentional butcher of the phrase. Morons.
I wonder how many people are calling that number at the bottom right now …
“It’s not rocket surgery” is a humorous portmanteau of the two phrases “it’s not rocket science” and “it’s not brain surgery”. It’s a *joke*.
Dumbasses.
Conclusion
You have to be a total idiot to love god and join Randy Elliot/Idiot and John Goodwin/Goodone.
In that order.
Nooo this is SO a win! My mother uses that phrase and it’s quite on purpose, for comedic effect. I’ve picked it up, too. WIN!!!
Isn’t this a Simpsons reference? I’m pretty sure this was done on purpose by the Church. Although, I don’t think they should be using Simpsons references!
what’s wromg with the simpsons anyway?
I doubt it originated with the Simpsons.
I know that guy and he’s serious. I think it’s hilarious. It’s just too bad he’s a complete nutcase.
Are you sure it’s not just taken from Zits?
That’s awesome! Rocket surgery.
Thank you very much.
You’re so desperately looking for FAIL, you’ve lost your sense of humour. Or maybe you just never had any in the first place. It shows who reads XKCD and who doesn’t.
you fool, that is an expression, rocket surgery its like brain surgeon and rocket scientist mixed together. i hear it all the time on the radio
so you don’t hear any music or anything else on the radio?
Hmmm…your name seems very fitting.
Whose name?
The stupidity of religion strikes again!
correct me if i’m wrong, but it appears to be the stupidity of some one attacking religion not checking stuff out………….i dunno
Actually, its not really a fail. there are tee-shirts that have the slogan “its not rocket surgery” on them. its a funny play on words between brain surgery and rocket science, which *most* of you probably know. its actually not funny. not at all.
actually, i think this fail may be on purpose and therefore not a fail. if anyone else has already said this, then sorry for not noticing, i didn’t read every post before posting myself. my dad used to say this all the time when i was growing up knowing well that the actual term is “rocket science”. it’s kinda one of those rare, but awesome, double-sarcasms. kinda like when you tell someone take a right turn, and they take a left, and you say “no, your other right.” incorrect on purpose. get my meaning?
okay, so i didn’t read any posts. many people are (at least) as smart as me. good on ya.
I can’t help but point out that this is actually a real colloquialism. It’s an ironic combination of “rocket science” and “brain surgery” meant to reinforce the fact that it’s simple.
who ever voted for this faild. you just dont get the joke you pepole pride your selfs on being so smart and you miss a joke like this. maby it true, some times you try to be so smart your dumd.
and for reference i dont care about my spelling or wut ever els you have to say because i have a real life and this is just entertanment to me so if you respond to this then your just entertaning me and im probly not gona look at it any way. but thats wut i want, a response, let me see who has a life and who doesent
Hmm, I make this joke all the time, and it’s a knowing conflation of “rocket science” and “brain surgery.”
I call WIN, if only to highlight the FAIL of the person who sent it in as a FAIL.
I don’t get the fail. Is it the “rocket surgery” part? Because that’s a common nonsensical saying that basically means something is pretty easy, derived from the other common phrases “it ain’t rocket science” and “it ain’t brain surgery.” I’ve heard people say rocket surgery since I was a little kid.
Lmao, this is real, not image generated. Looked up the address “2255 Euclid Street” in Google StreetView, and the surrounding hills and roads match.
Of course it is real. It is intended to read this way. Very common, sort of funny, definitely served its purpose. It’s a sign. It wants attention.
What? Rocket surgeons are very skilled and intelligent people.
Proof that religious people are idiots…thank you.
As are people who idolize Nirvana and MCR, apparently.
Proof that the FOBs are taking over north Orange County
This is not a fail. “Rocket surgery” is a common expression. It’s a play on words. Not too much different than what these threads start out as.
its so scientific they cant comprehend either of them
“Proof that religious people are idiots…thank you.”
LOL – That’s interesting considering that you’re the one who didn’t get the joke.
“I call WIN, if only to highlight the FAIL of the person who sent it in as a FAIL.”
Agreed. xNirvanaxMCRx also gets an honary fail.
Um that’s a saying we use here in Australia as a bit of a joke, it’s a cross between the sayings “It’s not brain surgery” and “It’s not rocket science” as you no doubt picked up. “It’s not rocket surgery!” ^^
Whats funny… Is I live just down the road from this church and read that sign every time I drove by it. I thought about taking the picture to send here.. but someone else did. good job!
Jeana, let me just take this opportunity to invite you to a church with a sense of humor. Drop by sometime, we would love to meet you.
Randy
Gotta love a CoC guy with a sense of humor – thanks for that, Randy!
Gotta love someone with the screen name “3heathens” who can appreciate a CofC guy with a sense of humor! God Bless
LOL!! Thanks for not yelling at me about it, too – I hear too often how scandalous I am for saying I have 3 ‘heathens’!
Were I able to, I’d attend, you betcha! Gotta love a pastor with a sense of humo(u)r!
That’s a commonly used joke “Rocket Surgery” because people use “Rocket Science” or “Brain Surgery” when ….do I even have to explain this NOT A FAIL
How often does the Love God show up at this church?
Very often! Though, to be honest, this church will always FAIL to be perfect because it is filled with imperfect people.
I always say Rocket Surgery (Surgeon) it’s for those so stupid that Rocket Science and Brain Surgery fall short so it takes a combination of both.
This is Fail Blog Fail. “Rocket surgery” is a pretty well-known Simpsons reference.
Everybody stand back! I’m a rocket surgeon!
I think that this might have been on purpose. Think of how hard it is to perform surgery on rockets. So as this sign states: Loving God and others is not as hard as the most difficult thing on earth
This is a line form the Canadian TV show “Corner Gas”.
No one has quoted Star Trek yet?
Doctor, would you care to assist me in performing surgery on a torpedo?
didn’t they have something like this on one of those destroy all humans games?
This isnt actually a fail, I hear people say it that way as joke
I don’t get it, what is the fail
i’ve seen a lot of weird saying on this church’s board. not even on the internet, in person…hahaha
Kara, since you live in the area, let me be the first to invite you to join us
Sunday mornings at 9 AM. I look forward to seeing you here!
I’ve moved on from both Rocket Science and Rocket Surgery – I’m into the Hollywood – I’m into Rocket Scientology!
Too many non-fails on failblog these days. See, if it’s meant to be funny in the first place, then it’s not clever if someone spots it and sends it to failblog. This is because. Never mind.
‘rocket surgery’ is a take off of the australian show’Cath and Kim’, its a joke.
What happens when you try to mix metaphores. Do they mean rocket science or brain surgery?
Damn Christians don’t believe in science, thus surgery.
The sign is an example of Elliot & Goodwin’s best thinking.
You should hear the drivel inside!
thats intentional. ive heard plenty of people say rocket surgery in an effort to be funny or get attention. this sign did both.
ITS cuz they hate the word science!!!
DOOD SUNNY HILLS?!? LIVE LIKE HALF A MILE AWAY FROM THAT CHURCH! AWESOME!!!!!!
Ah yes, but what if it WERE rocket surgery? Then we’d be cooking with OMGpotence.
well people make up their own stuff, it could go either way for a fail
Learning. It’s not rocket surgery.
This is a “whoever posted this isn’t smart enough to realize that this is in fact a fairly well known and comical phrase” fail. Fail.
love one another and give Jesus a chance!
FAILBLOG FAIL! This sign is supposed to say “rocket surgery”. It is meant as a humorous combination of “it isn’t rocket science” and “it isn’t brain surgery”. HAVE YOU GUYS REALLY NOT HEARD THIS BEFORE?
http://adland.tv/commercials/eggo-syrup-better-late-never-original-cut-2003-030-usa
Great blog here! Also your website so much up fast! What host are you the usage of? Can I get your affiliate hyperlink to your host? I wish my website loaded up as quickly as yours lol
