Attacks carried out on 10 downing street? Are you crazy? There hasn’t been an assassination since 1812, when Spencer Percival died when a madman shot him in the Commons. But there has not been one single terrorist attack on the street in the hundreds of years the house has been there.
I think you’re being very uptight here. Barack Obama was just making a friendly gesture to the guard.
Okay, but that was a mortar attack. Apart from that, there have been no bombings in the street. This is due to, of course, the gates that were installed. Also, the IRA have been demilitarised, and they have stopped their attacks on mainland England.
Still, no world leaders have been killed at the PM’s residence. Not one. I can guarantee that.
Well, we can rule out the first two, as they occured before the gates were installed. As for the anti Iraq and Afghanistan war protesters, I don’t know what the problem is. They have a democratic right to protest against any seemingly unfair action of their government.

By the way, I think that every military employs terrorist tactics in battlefield. But it’s acceptable as long as the general public does not see.
If the public is exposed, it becomes terrorism…
Would not then every soldier who ever participated in a war be a terrorist?
Of course not, because they are government sanctioned…
But it’s not statistically impossible for it to happen! Now if you’ll excuse me string theory says there’s a .0001% chance people can walk through walls so I’m just going to move into a bunker now.
Quantum mechanics says that you should technically be able to phase solid matter through other solid matter.
Massive amounts of energy would be required to do this.
It does not state that it will come out as it entered.
Quantum mechanics is actually applicable to a large spectrum of theoretical physics.
String theory is a relatively new and untested theory that would allow the theory of general relativity to coexist with the theory of quantum mechanics without any alterations to each theory.
Huge difference between protesters and terrorist. One wants the government to change through government sanctioned ways, the other by means of violence.
How do you justify linking ‘planes can be used as weapons’ to ‘protesters can turn to terrorists’? There’s no link between the two. Protesters ‘turning violent’ is a far cry from ramming a plane into a building and I find it offensive that you’d draw such a comparison.
Because I have both been involved in protests and lost someone in the 911 disaster. The two are worlds apart. You are implying that a protester could decide to fly planes into buildings or blow themselves up!
What on earth? That incident has nothing to do with terrorism whatsoever, and the police only managed to kill the one man who wasn’t involved in the protests. What the hell are you talking about?
Hold on now! I never tried to say protests never got out of hand! I objected to your comparison of a protester to a terrorist! Will you admit that terrorists and protests are on two very different scales?
yet again, you present your opinion as if it were fact. How do you know following protocol protects those in positions of power? What evidence do you have? Do you even understand what ‘circular logic’ means?
GV! Is that coffee you’re drinking?? Don’t you know that coffee is extremely hot, and can be used as a weapon to burn someone?? If you drink coffee, you are a potential terrorist!
How lovely that some people can’t tell the difference between logic and logical fallacies. *rolls eyes*
Some people try to win arguments against idiots on the internet. I find it more satisfying to punch myself in the head, because then at least I know I’m having some effect.
I think we have met the dreaded two face forgetful one. One who posts, then removes all knowledge of the post from memory even though it remains on screen.
Ya, you are correct, but its hard to stick up for one who made snide remarks at me as well. Aside from that, intelligence aside its mostly a one on one. Dragon just go easy on him. <- duty fulfilled.
What’s that? The IRA have stopped attacking “mainland England”? I wasn’t aware that they were still targeting Lindisfarne and the Isle of Wight.
Oh, no, wait a minute, by “mainland England” can you possibly mean what the rest of us call “Great Britain”?
Surely not. Only ignorant idiots can’t tell the difference between England and Britain. There’s no way anyone posting on here could be that ill-informed. My apologies for the insult.
Wow, the last attack I heard about was in 1991. (Clickie for wiki page) And it was carried out with a mortar shell. Dunno when anybody was last able to carry out an attack from close up. Chillax, Tumah.
I like your useage of assumed guilt. Perhaps he did vote. Perhaps he did not due to extream dislike of both canadates…or perhaps he decided to vote for bevis and butthead
And Tumah, Sweetie, the world doesn’t think that of him, you do, and your cronies. But by and large he’s much liked here in the states (maybe not Arizona State, but still), and elsewhere too.
For someone so unconcerned with the importance of your wording, you sure spent a lot of time arguing about it. Now, of course, with the argument lost, you resort to belittling it so that you seem less erroneous.
It’s chilidish to whine on and one about the same thing, and not give up the ghost. This is not a violation of the guard’s duties. Why can you not get that into your head? Bloody hell.
The opinion of the majority? You sound like Rush Limbaugh.
Where has anyone else said that it’s dangerous to shake the guard’s hand? Nowhere. It’s only your voice.
*facedesk*
Never mind. I just lost ground here.
The point is that you are a stubborn, arrogant person, who thinks that churning out the same idea over and over makes you right. That is exactly what the Republican party is doing, and they also refuse to conform to public opinion.
Indeed I am. But you seem to be disregarding the fact that he convinced people he was right, and gained support from the public. He influenced public opinion to bring about social and political change. It’s not like he single-handedly forced the government at the time to change its policies. It was through protests he accomplished his feats.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, I rather thought you were as you were the one to mention them in a positive light? I don’t think that that’s the only reason the Civil Rights Act got through, it was only a matter of time. Times were changing.
Actually I believe when you combined the African American populace with the portion of the remainder who believed that the way the African Americans were being treated, you end up with a majority for change.

Lurk told YOU to chill…and you said “That’s the very attitude that gets presidents shot”, implying that if YOU chilled the president was in danger of being shot.
I made a joke on that…which you obviously didn’t understand. That’s okay, though. Sophisticated grammatical humo(u)r is beyond a lot of people.
Tumah, you have got to understand that Obama and JFK’s situations are very different. JFK was in an open top car, with his bodyguards surrounding him, and that made him an easy target. But Obama is in a ring of his and the PM’s policemen, along with two very sturdy gates at the two ends of 10 Downing Street, to protect him. One handshake is not going to compromise his security.
Also the UK isnt full of gun toting redneck morons, because it isnt beyond our mental capacity to realise that guns do kill people. We carry knifes and broken bottles instead. A hidden broken bottle shoved down your boxers can really ruin your day though.
*SNORK!* You’re a fun one. Okay…let’s try this again.
Lurk told you to chill. She did not say that the guard should chill. She did not say that the secret service should chill. She said YOU should chill.
You replied with, “That’s the attitude that gets presidents shot”.
Where in this exchange did you talk about the guard? Or the secret service? The subject was you and ONLY you.
You can’t blame the reader for your own lack of clarity and communication. What you meant is NOT what you said, and you can be as defensive as you want about it, but it won’t change anything.
Oh. Oh dear. I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize that you are so completely disconnected from reality that you wouldn’t remember your own post. I’ll stop now…to continue would not be fair of me.
Dragon, in many video games when you get kills in a row, you get sprees splashed onto your screen. (I don’t know if many people know this so I am just setting up the history.) Ie Killing spree = 3 kills in a row etc.
Well for your argument and what you did to the Tumah, I am going to assess you a BEYOND GODLIKE SPREE. A 10+ win.
Tumah, you are arrogant because you baselessly insult Dragonwriter, which is something you don’t want to do here. And you think you can do whatever you want without consequence.
Tumah: Are you familiar with the security around Downing street? If not; how can you presume to question it? If you are, you’ll be aware that comparing the dangers of JFK being shot when and where he was and Obama being shot when and where he was is like comparing the safety of a peaceful countryside to that of a war zone.
Sorry I took so long to get back to you; I had to attend to something at work. Here is an example of where you inserted opinion into the debate as fact: That’s the very attitude that gets presidents shot.
Kennedy and the secret service were chillaxin’ when his head was blown off.
There is no hard evidence to suggest that the secret service were not being vigilant on the day when JFK was shot. That entire assassination is surrounded by hype and myth. In addition, the shaking of the president’s hand does not mean all the guards were relaxed. Probably quite the opposite. And yes, there were other guards, even in the video. Look at around 8 secs in and you can see one.
Indeed, that was my point, JFK’s assassination is surrounded by intrigue and mystery, so is rather flimsy evidence to base your resulting conclusions on.
Yes, let us all stick to rigid protocol and never question our glorious government who can do no wrong. All hail the state! Seriously though, you can’t rely on protocol to keep someone safe, if you were to, it would quickly slip into habit and habit is easy to predict…
You’re saying following security protocol while in a foreign country is equivalent to totalitarianism? *wheeze, ROFL* and you’re complaining that I correlated protesting with violence?
Stick a fork in, baby. This is just TOO hilarious…
“You’re saying following security protocol while in a foreign country is equivalent to totalitarianism? (…) and you’re complaining that I correlated protesting with violence?”
No, I was saying that rigidly following any protocol without question is what leads to a totalitarian regime. My fault, I didn’t clarify myself. Also i was saying that strictly adhering to a set of rules makes your movements easy to predict, thus endangering the person whom follows it’s life. I do apologise for not explaining myself with regards to my initial comment in that previous post though.
With regards to your second sentence quoted above; does that mean that you agree that it was foolish to compare terrorists and protesters?
Tumah, I do not profess to be an Emperor, and before one goes around attempting to quote philosophical errors in logical arguments one should check the ad hominems you continue to spew. A name here doesn’t often mean anything, unless you are attemtping to say that you are cancerous and should be removed for your lack of tact. Now here I remain a little relaxed with my commenting, no need for full out political responses as this is a place of sarcasm. Though if you really like we could debate until I am blue in the face and I don’t think I will get anywhere with you. This is because you have shown little respect for what you previously say or the people who have been here. You came in on a high horse and have not left your I-know-I-Am-Right pedestal.
Furthermore, you should not be so brash as to judge the ins and outs of a society you have yet to fully understand. When one of our own comes under attack, you should be prepared that many will come to their aid. Hence my reference to video games. Dragon is well respected here, she has proven herself many a times before I even got here. You would do well to take your time to understand what you are getting yourself into before you jump to conclusions.
To me it seems Brown is going to shake the guard’s hand, who doesn’t respond, so Brown turns away, and then the guard tries to shake Brown’s hand when it’s already too late. So they both fail a bit. I don’t see this as such a huge mistake though, everyday stuff.
I wonder if Tumah realises that the policeman outside 10 Downing street is not, infact a royal guard? I wonder if Gordan Brown knows it? I do believe Americans to be arrogant, not all of them are obviously, but what other nation renames discoveries which are already in their own tongue to suit themselves? Or books? Or decides that they best know how to rule everyone’s country?
That is a bit contentious, gaynorvader. I can’t really say anything, as my Japanese side has been off conquering most of East Asia in WWII, and my British side has been conquering a quarter of the world until ten years ago.
It is, but it bothers me when Americans (hope this doesn’t cause offence to anyone as I haven’t noticed anyone here doing it) claim their country to be the saviors of the world.
I see what you mean, but until Iraq the United States were very reluctant to go to war. And when they do fight, they do it with good intentions. The previous Chen-, I mean Bush Admin have tarnished this slightly by rushing into a nation without an exit plan.
Honestly, Bondfan? I don’t think it’s always with “good intentions”. It’s about national security, geographic strategic significance (think cold war invasions in the mid-east), and economic significance (oil and other key resources). But the real reasons are not easily marketable, so we are given justifications like “we’re out to liberate the people of Elbonia” or some such thing.
There are exceptions, but the purely humanitarian actions are usually very limited, and only under UN mandates.
Who, me? Cynical? Never!
Yes, Vietnam was an unmitigated disaster, but that was due to the Communism hysteria going around. The previous two wars have also been unsuccessful, and I fear the Afghan war has made things worse. Their government is now of the most corrupt, next to India, and the poppy crop growth is at its highest.
The first Iraq war? You mean the one where Saddam invaded Kuwait and we stopped him? I find it hard to imagine how anyone other than Saddam Hussein himself was ever in opposition to that war, yet they still exist.
Jake, I still think the only REAL reason we got involved in that one (and the last one) was to protect our oil interests. We didn’t go over there with the sole intention of protecting the PEOPLE there, that’s for sure.
Trust me, that bothers me too.
If you’ve never heard this early Dylan song (or even if you have and want to choke up a bit again), google
With God On Our Side Dylan lyrics
Blind patriotism is a dangerous thing. One must always question his/her leadership. Often, critics in the USA are called “unpatriotic” when criticising US policy. I was opposed to the Iraq war from day one, and for that I was labelled an unpatriotic traitor by some.
Nah, who am I kidding. USA ROOLZ!! EVERYBODY ELSE SUX!!!
Respectfully, I’d really like people to differentiate “American leadership” and “Americans” because those are by no mean the same thing. I personally know not a single American who thinks we have any business in any country that doesn’t request aid. I know, of course, that the are Americans with other viewpoints, but I wouldn’t judge an nationality by their government policies.
Or maybe he’s respectful. And since Brown’s not royalty, I doubt the guard is royal guard. and since Obama initiated, I doubt the guard will get in trouble.
Just a comment that this is how Gordon Brown is different from Barack Obama. (Love the accent. If I hadn’t seen Obama in the video I wouldn’t have even caught what name he said, to be truthful.)
I actually do love the accent, even if I had trouble hearing it. When someone with an English or French accent comes to the restaurant where I work I purposely talk to them a lot just to keep hearing it. If they are female and French also do the little pouty face I want to propose right on the spot.
When I was in Scotland, I nearly spontaneously combusted what with all the sexy accents. I almost fell over when a guy hit on me because he thought MY accent was sexy.
Well, Dragon-accents ARE sexy!
I can understand Indian, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, and several other accents quite well. But Irish still gets me every time, I always have trouble understanding it!
The only accent I have trouble with is the Glaswegian accent. Most Scots accents I have no trouble with, but a guy from Glasgow…? Completely incomprehensible.
A Glaswegian once asked me to have a drink with him, and I had to ask him to repeat the question three or four times. I think the way he said it, “drink” had about four syllables…
You keep asking people to give links for proof, so where’s your link to prove that that guy is a royal guard and that it’s a threat to national security for Obama to shake his hand? How can he be a royal guard when the PM isn’t royalty? I’m fairly sure they would have some other terminology for that.
Since you’re so fond of links, I posted one for the Wikipedia of Royal Guard. It says, “describes any group of military bodyguard, soldiers or retainers responsible for the protection of a royal person, such as a King or Queen.” Again, PM isn’t royalty. If you also read a bit further down that page, you’ll probably see that there’s a link to the Queen’s Guard. Perhaps that was what you were thinking of, but they’re the guys dressed in red. This man has a normal police officer’s hat on, with probably extra protective gear.
Also, did you not think if it was THAT important that the copper didn’t shake Obama’s hand, that he would have just not shook it? I am assuming he thought that 1.5 seconds of handshaking is just acceptable diplomacy rather than a threat to the world.
What a buzzkill. The company I work for (that also pays me well to FB all day) has not seen it fit to include speakers with my computer. I usually replay the good videos when I get home from work.
oh, i’m sorry i didn’t realize that was what you were saying by that
awww, i feel terrible foe denying you. let me make it up to you. it reminds me of the story where i was a little kid and just learning to talk and i wanted my mom to get yogurt at the grocery store. all i could say was ‘oert’ (it sounded like a seal noise) regardless, she couldn’t understand me and i never got the yogurt. we got all the way home, and she realized what i was saying and she almost cried. (she was emotional) any way…
When my oldest was learning how to talk she kept saying “clotet” and I had no idea what she was saying. She was so frustrated she was grinding her teeth, when I finally told her to show me what she wanted. So she pointed to the top of the fridge, where we had… chocolate. Who knew?
That would have come in handy! You should have seen her when I was trying to get her to add “please” to her vocabulary. She’s a stubborn, stubborn child. But I’ve had more experience at being stubborn than she has, so I won that battle. Not looking forward to the teen years. *shudders*
I must admit that I am terrified of the teen girl years. I was a bit nervous about having a girl for that reason. I remember being a teenager, and girls can be mean!
I’m nervous for other girls too, my son is a super flirt. Started making eyes at girls as young as 6 months! I’m going to have to warn all the parents to lock their pretty girls up when my son comes around!
I do usually give some kind of warning when I post stuff like that. At least, I do NOW. I’m pretty sure I gave warning then too, now that I think of it.
I commented about the cruelty of posting that clickie, and Failblog moderated it! WTF?! No bad words or anything!
*orders another tanker of eye bleach*
Don’t feel bad, sweetie, it’s okay. It’s not so bad anymore. What with some of the things I’ve seen since I’ve been here, I believe I’m starting to get a bit jaded.
Here, have a popsicle.
Way more popular. When Obama got elected I got messages from half my UK friends congratulating me on electing the best president. Gordon is an improvement over Tony but that’s about it really.
I get why he didn’t shake though. It would be silly to always shake hands with the staff, he’d never get anything done.
Gordon is an improvement? Hell, no! He has no charisma whatsoever, and was taunted by the Lib Dems. That’s the equivalent of the President being taunted by Ron Paul.
How can you possibly think Gordon is an improvement over Tony. It wouldn’t matter who was PM at the time, anyone who was PM during the start of the Iraq war would be a scapegoat for that time. Tony was at least PM material. Gordon is a bureaucrat, definitely not PM material.
How can the word ‘nekkid’ apply to dragons, are we not always wearing our scales? All I was doing was running very fast like a ‘streak’ of lightning, is that not the correct expression?
Usually streaking in my world means someone takes off their clothes and runs across where there is usually an audience of sorts.
-
I will accept your intention however. I prefer to.
It is the correct expression, but when people started interrupting serious ceremonies by running naked through them as a joke the word streak picked up a second meaning.
We still need one that combines the green of mrgreen with the expression of shock. For when people say or post things that are icky. Like I did earlier.

I warn you that it’s colder here in Connecticut than in Texas, so I might be wearing more than you are.
Veggies scaring people? Well, once we see your fruit, it’ll settle everyone down.
Most likely because Brown sees that policeman most likely every day he probably played off the formality or did it in good humor, we cant hear if there is an exchange or see Brown’s facial expressions so we will likely never know.
I am officially returning Patrica the calf♀back to you. We had a great time! I love the polish she used for her hoofs. She enjoyed the massage too – a little too much if you ask me.
Me neither, then again i don’t really see the signifigance of the colour of someone’s skin over their hair colour or the colour of their eyes! Did you know the Irish for a black man is “Fear(far) gorm(gu-rum)”? Literally translated it means ‘blue man’. This fact was brought to you today by the U.D.A.I.(Underground Dragon Association of Ireland)
A fair greeting to be sure and may your days be long and filled with joy! Now that we are fairly met, I can teach you some basics;
1) Don’t get offended by a small correction or someone pointing something out to you.
2) If somone makes a mistake, wait a minute before correcting it, even then make sure to do it in a light manner, don’t be high handed.
3) Pun runs are popular, this is when a bunch of bloggers post in reply to one another with a word in their posts all linked by one theme. Don’t interrupt these, but feel free to join in if you can think of a new word.
4) If you see a trolls on a post, don’t try to answer them all, you’ll just attract more.
5) Never say ‘F*rst’ at the beginning of a fail, try to avoid the word altogether.
6) Have fun, don’t feel intimidated and don’t intimidate!
I should probably mention; try and be cautious with your posts. Try not to respond to everything you see, especially if you aren’t sure what’s going on, just ask someone.
One method: lurk for a few weeks, then start on a one-comment-per-fail regime. (Make sure the comments are funnyto the point!) Then increase frequency as needed.
Most important: never get between Dragon and her admiral. Do not post a reply between them. If they move on, you may post to an earlier one of theirs but never their current. Much pain will follow if you break this rule.
I wish I could stay however, I have to go earn money and make a living ugh. I’m going to be back on round eleven I don’t know if you will still be here tho
But still…you would think that he would have at least like held his hand out longer or something rather than pull away, it looked like Brown tried to shake back as he pulled away. I could be wrong tho
What a sorry state this country is in if our Prime Minister won’t even shake the hand of a man that would give his life to protect him. MP’s expenses; the EU; the financial crisis; overcrowded prisons; bankers with £5 million pensions even when they smash their own company into the ground; financial deregulation; the Iraq War. Labour’s glory years! Admittedly this isn’t all Labour’s fault though. I just feel sorry for the voters that have such limited choices as a result. Predictably the P.M. is not going to stage a general election – which is a bit of a let off for the voters. Oh well, maybe we’ll find some more weapons of mass destruction to take our minds off it. But then again I don’t think the P.M. will admit to being one. /randomrantcourtesyofafrustratedcitizenoftheU.K.whichnoonewillgiveacrapabout.
I am from Argentina, and our president (Mrs. Cristina Fernandez) had suffered from Obama a similar situation (I hope nodoby had said that, this blog has so many comments that I couldn’t read all):
If it was a Tory PM he would have spat in the guys face before snacking on a new born while stamping kittens discussing how his house looks like Balmoral Castle.
Yeah cause Commie Britain is in such great shape. a dozen years of Socialism under the Communist Labour party has worked out great. Keep up your communism you limey pricks and you’ll soon be as advanced as Obama’s native Kenya.
Nice set of posts! You presented yourself way better than DW and his 8 alts! And by the way ignore the “regulars”. There is a reason most people don’t read the comments here. They make 4chan look like educated discourse
Just because they post all day doesn’t mean it is worth reading. I really wish I could just put them on ignore.
Irony, you are clearly talking to me… Or do you have such a low opinion of yourself as to reference yourself as a no one. Aside from that, please enlighten me, what master do I have?
Careful lurk, tiny brain and short temper allows for the spewing of tons of nonsense. S/he googles some terms and uses them but has no idea why. S/he doesn’t believes a sharp tongue is no indication of a keen mind. So s/he uses word that might fool the untrained eye. Just be patient with their kind.
I see you’ve set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. You are doing a fantastic job, please continue. This non-sense, it has no effect if no one listens to you.
This does not deserve to be here. Gordon Brown is blind in one eye and can only see 30% with his other one. He did not shake the policeman’s hand for one simple reason. He can’t see him.
I was puzzled at first, but then I realized that Brown thought that the guard wasn’t offering to shake his hand, so he started to turn away. It is at this point that the guard realizes that Brown wants to shake his hand, but Brown is already looking away.
JFK was shot because he outed his banker, NWO overlord oligarchs for meddling into politics, for controlling the nation by creating debt through the federal reserve. World bankers are controlling Barack, as is evident- Kissenger was his first employer and his books are said by experts to be ghost written to groom him. I’ve worked directly for congressmen and they openly discuss it. How can you all be so confused???
Baracks’ job is to play “Good Cop” to Bushes “Rape Cop”, which is why we just went trillions into debt on the federal reserves credit card- they used to get South America and other foreign countries into their debt (See the Marshall Plan) now they’re cannibalizing off Americans now that they’ve globalized. We are like penned animals for them to fleece. Go watch Zeitgeist I and II.
I simply think it shows the ignorance of our P.M. In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And can’t do sums. Or respect our fallen dead. Basically, the man’s an arse. Just my opinion….
Basically you are all a bunch of NERDS why do you have to display all of of your actions by placing them inbetween asterisks ,it is a bit gay and no-one cares
What I find most worrying is that someone felt that the video had to have arrows identifying Brown and Obama!
How insulting.
As we all know Obama isn’t Brown and Brown’s clearly not Black!
Brown’s White and Obama’s not Brown, he’s Black for goodness sake!
Psyche!
he just got moded!
Please explain for us without sound. Thanks.
Basically, Barack Obama shakes the 10 Downing Street guard’s hands, while Brown doesn’t.
Well the downing street guard doen’t offer, to his own Prime Minister.
Never mind he just got stood up.
Yes, he did, I think.
Dangit, doesn’t* but he does offer.
*offers Emperor a squeeze*
*Emporor slaps Ms B ♥ and scolds her for her naughty behavior*
Who is Emporor?
I believe there is an impostor among us!
*The presedent walks in*
No one is an impostor here, I assure you!
<.<;
You mean precedent? As in he walked in before this happened?
It isnt presedent or precedent. its president
LMFAO, two fails at spelling president in a row.
President – an elected representative figure of a country
Precedent – a legal justification based on previous rulings
LFMAO at a complete lack of following the thread of the conversation, artfully disguised as a comment on spelling that uses LFMAO. Are you American by any chance?
What folly, you do not dictate my actions, or attempt to reference my by Emporor.

Darling…protesters are not terrorists.
Protestors can be a real incoveniece , & one can’t always relie on the riot police to be on hand to kill them
But planes can clearly be used as bombs. Yes, protesters can get out of hand, but Dragon’s right, protesting is not an act of terrorism.
…planes? OF COURSE! Be back later.
Let me repeat, protesting is not an act of terrorism. Anti-War protesters are NOT terrorists.
Obviously you’ve never read the Bush doctrine…
Said something along the lines of, “You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists”…
Technically Bush classified everyone who does not support the U.S. war on terror as a terrorist.
LMFAO
Too bad the U.N. Security Council overruled him in the definition of a terrorist.
By the way, I think that every military employs terrorist tactics in battlefield. But it’s acceptable as long as the general public does not see.
If the public is exposed, it becomes terrorism…
Would not then every soldier who ever participated in a war be a terrorist?
Of course not, because they are government sanctioned…
The World is F’ed up.
Simply people expressing their democratic right!
But it’s not statistically impossible for it to happen! Now if you’ll excuse me string theory says there’s a .0001% chance people can walk through walls so I’m just going to move into a bunker now.
It seems that “wall hacking” in games would have to be accepted, since it is completely possible in reality!
Quantum mechanics says that you should technically be able to phase solid matter through other solid matter.
Massive amounts of energy would be required to do this.
It does not state that it will come out as it entered.
Quantum mechanics is actually applicable to a large spectrum of theoretical physics.
String theory is a relatively new and untested theory that would allow the theory of general relativity to coexist with the theory of quantum mechanics without any alterations to each theory.
Huge difference between protesters and terrorist. One wants the government to change through government sanctioned ways, the other by means of violence.
How do you justify linking ‘planes can be used as weapons’ to ‘protesters can turn to terrorists’? There’s no link between the two. Protesters ‘turning violent’ is a far cry from ramming a plane into a building and I find it offensive that you’d draw such a comparison.
Because I have both been involved in protests and lost someone in the 911 disaster. The two are worlds apart. You are implying that a protester could decide to fly planes into buildings or blow themselves up!
What on earth? That incident has nothing to do with terrorism whatsoever, and the police only managed to kill the one man who wasn’t involved in the protests. What the hell are you talking about?
You are still comparing one man dying in one protest, to the thousands killed by terrorists. Can’t you see the difference?
Hold on now! I never tried to say protests never got out of hand! I objected to your comparison of a protester to a terrorist! Will you admit that terrorists and protests are on two very different scales?
yet again, you present your opinion as if it were fact. How do you know following protocol protects those in positions of power? What evidence do you have? Do you even understand what ‘circular logic’ means?
Dear gawd.
GV! Is that coffee you’re drinking?? Don’t you know that coffee is extremely hot, and can be used as a weapon to burn someone?? If you drink coffee, you are a potential terrorist!
How lovely that some people can’t tell the difference between logic and logical fallacies. *rolls eyes*
Some people try to win arguments against idiots on the internet. I find it more satisfying to punch myself in the head, because then at least I know I’m having some effect.
I think we have met the dreaded two face forgetful one. One who posts, then removes all knowledge of the post from memory even though it remains on screen.
Aren’t you supposed to be sticking up for the underdog?
Ya, you are correct, but its hard to stick up for one who made snide remarks at me as well. Aside from that, intelligence aside its mostly a one on one. Dragon just go easy on him. <- duty fulfilled.
What’s that? The IRA have stopped attacking “mainland England”? I wasn’t aware that they were still targeting Lindisfarne and the Isle of Wight.
Oh, no, wait a minute, by “mainland England” can you possibly mean what the rest of us call “Great Britain”?
Surely not. Only ignorant idiots can’t tell the difference between England and Britain. There’s no way anyone posting on here could be that ill-informed. My apologies for the insult.
Wow, the last attack I heard about was in 1991. (Clickie for wiki page) And it was carried out with a mortar shell. Dunno when anybody was last able to carry out an attack from close up. Chillax, Tumah.
Exactly. You’d have to push past AK 47 toting guards to get to the PM.
You do realise there are bodyguards who are halting the photographers etc.?
I suppose it WOULD look like an artificial gesture of “people skills” to one who clearly has none.
I can tell you don’t like him. Are you American? And if so, did you vote?
I like your useage of assumed guilt. Perhaps he did vote. Perhaps he did not due to extream dislike of both canadates…or perhaps he decided to vote for bevis and butthead
Dates from Canada?
…or Canada Dates
And Tumah, Sweetie, the world doesn’t think that of him, you do, and your cronies. But by and large he’s much liked here in the states (maybe not Arizona State, but still), and elsewhere too.
Aww man I missed all the fun! Tumah got owned (and rightly so) and I wasn’t around to stick my oar in! Now what will I do with this oar?
Tumah, we’re not 12, but I think you are. Please, stop being so childish.
For someone so unconcerned with the importance of your wording, you sure spent a lot of time arguing about it. Now, of course, with the argument lost, you resort to belittling it so that you seem less erroneous.
It’s chilidish to whine on and one about the same thing, and not give up the ghost. This is not a violation of the guard’s duties. Why can you not get that into your head? Bloody hell.
The opinion of the majority? You sound like Rush Limbaugh.
Where has anyone else said that it’s dangerous to shake the guard’s hand? Nowhere. It’s only your voice.
*facedesk*
Never mind. I just lost ground here.
The point is that you are a stubborn, arrogant person, who thinks that churning out the same idea over and over makes you right. That is exactly what the Republican party is doing, and they also refuse to conform to public opinion.
i like cheese
indeed
More slippery slope.
If everyone conformed to public opinion, Barack Obama wouldn’t be sitting behind the Resolute.
I’m sorry, but; what? I’m not sure I understand your point here, could you clarify please? What is ‘the Resolute’?
So you’re saying, if public opinion was paid attention to, BO would never have become president. You do know how a democracy works, right?
Indeed I am. But you seem to be disregarding the fact that he convinced people he was right, and gained support from the public. He influenced public opinion to bring about social and political change. It’s not like he single-handedly forced the government at the time to change its policies. It was through protests he accomplished his feats.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, I rather thought you were as you were the one to mention them in a positive light? I don’t think that that’s the only reason the Civil Rights Act got through, it was only a matter of time. Times were changing.
…and they were changing because the minority and certain individuals refused to conform.
Thanks for proving my point. Good work.
Actually I believe when you combined the African American populace with the portion of the remainder who believed that the way the African Americans were being treated, you end up with a majority for change.
Did Tumah just say that Obama only got elected because of “Affirmative Action”?
My troll senses are tingling.
It’s a persistent and pervasive one.
Must be a cancerous tumah.
We’re going to have to orc-erate.
Whatever it is, it’s radiating.
*Looks at Alicia*
Alas I cannot kill a female, even if it is a female troll.
What should I do to vanquish this one?
Is it just me, or does Alicia sound suspiciously like Tumah?
Don’t you mean Hechler & Khoch
Wow…! I’ll never chill and have fun again…I wouldn’t want the prez to get shot because I wasn’t vigilant!
Do you get paid to be vigilant?
And you’re saying you do??
Pfft.
No, darling. Here…let me explain.
Lurk told YOU to chill…and you said “That’s the very attitude that gets presidents shot”, implying that if YOU chilled the president was in danger of being shot.
I made a joke on that…which you obviously didn’t understand. That’s okay, though. Sophisticated grammatical humo(u)r is beyond a lot of people.
Tumah, you’re not doing yourself any favo(u)rs by patronising DW.
It’s implied thusly:
“I won’t chill because that’s the very attitude that gets presidents shot.”
The “I” is implied because you did not change the subject of Lurk’s original injunction.
Wrong again. I replied to your failed nesting.
Tumah, you are in WAAAAAAAYYYYY over your head right about now.
Hey, if you want to argue with someone who is much better at it than you, by all means, go right ahead. And no, I am not referring to myself.
*clutches sides, laughing*
Oh, no, you just DI-INT just go there!!!
You speak prick pretty well, though.
Obviously not…see my comment above^^.
I didn’t say you were one…I said you spoke the language. I can speak French without being French.
Tumah, you have much to learn about this place. Jude, aka Judy was using a dialect. And you just basically pissed off every regular here.
Tumah, please learn to pick your battles. You’re spreading your sh*t too thin, try to concentrated it in one area. And use toilet paper afterwards.
Do get slapped on a regular basis?
Cuddlefish!
*squeeeeeeeeeeze*
The name’s Gordon. A squeeze is O.K., but for the love of GOD do NOT shake my hand!
Hardly. And thanks for proving my point for me. I missed a word, oooooh.
The “you” was implied.
*snork*
Geez! I leave for 2 hours and this happens?
Ouch Tumah, ouch, you made my entrance look graceful, hard as that is. Once again I my conscience is bothering me, sorry all on how I came in here.
One should watch his references, especially when he provides so much material. Robert Soloway, Michael Crook, Matt Drudge, the list goes on.
Emperor: teh internets = seeriyus bizness….
MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
Not really, but the troll has finally shown his true colo(u)rs.
You’re a Capricorn, aren’t you.
Ick.
Tumah, you have got to understand that Obama and JFK’s situations are very different. JFK was in an open top car, with his bodyguards surrounding him, and that made him an easy target. But Obama is in a ring of his and the PM’s policemen, along with two very sturdy gates at the two ends of 10 Downing Street, to protect him. One handshake is not going to compromise his security.
Well, obviously, the gates aren’t visible as they are out of view of the camera, but there is definitely a band of guards around the Prez.
Also the UK isnt full of gun toting redneck morons, because it isnt beyond our mental capacity to realise that guns do kill people. We carry knifes and broken bottles instead. A hidden broken bottle shoved down your boxers can really ruin your day though.
Among many others.
Yes…that was my point exactly. How is her statement about YOU chilling going to in any way put a president in danger of being shot?
I can just picture Tumah digging himself into a very, very big hole.
It’s a her, I do believe.
You did.
*SNORK!* You’re a fun one. Okay…let’s try this again.
Lurk told you to chill. She did not say that the guard should chill. She did not say that the secret service should chill. She said YOU should chill.
You replied with, “That’s the attitude that gets presidents shot”.
Where in this exchange did you talk about the guard? Or the secret service? The subject was you and ONLY you.
You can’t blame the reader for your own lack of clarity and communication. What you meant is NOT what you said, and you can be as defensive as you want about it, but it won’t change anything.
Exactly, don’t count your eggs before they’re hatched!
Tumah, I’d say you should quit while you’re ahead, but you’re not ahead. It is fun to watch though.
Oh. Oh dear. I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize that you are so completely disconnected from reality that you wouldn’t remember your own post. I’ll stop now…to continue would not be fair of me.
Oh. My. God. Is this person for real???
I’m not sure if I’m glad or disappointed that I missed it.
Man.. I missed out on all the fun! Hopefully the arrogant ass will be here tomorrow so I can get to play with him, too.
I occasionally get called that, fluff – I think they just get confused because it’s tight!
I get that sometimes, too, DrB! But I think their confusion stems from their inability to differentiate “arrogant ass” with “badass”.
That occurs when they’ve been outclassed.
Dragon, in many video games when you get kills in a row, you get sprees splashed onto your screen. (I don’t know if many people know this so I am just setting up the history.) Ie Killing spree = 3 kills in a row etc.
Well for your argument and what you did to the Tumah, I am going to assess you a BEYOND GODLIKE SPREE. A 10+ win.
I have a theory: I think this guy is Gordon Brown.
Tumah, you are arrogant because you baselessly insult Dragonwriter, which is something you don’t want to do here. And you think you can do whatever you want without consequence.
You are arrogant because you present your opinions as facts, if for no other reason.
Tumah: Are you familiar with the security around Downing street? If not; how can you presume to question it? If you are, you’ll be aware that comparing the dangers of JFK being shot when and where he was and Obama being shot when and where he was is like comparing the safety of a peaceful countryside to that of a war zone.
Tumah says:
May 28, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Where did I say that? I said the guard does.
*typed VERY slowly to help you understand*
This was in reply to one of Dragonwriter’s comments. How patronising can you get?
Disrespected? My goodness, you have an ego, don’t you. Why do you think you have a right to be vicious to DW and others?
Sorry I took so long to get back to you; I had to attend to something at work. Here is an example of where you inserted opinion into the debate as fact:
That’s the very attitude that gets presidents shot.
Kennedy and the secret service were chillaxin’ when his head was blown off.
There is no hard evidence to suggest that the secret service were not being vigilant on the day when JFK was shot. That entire assassination is surrounded by hype and myth. In addition, the shaking of the president’s hand does not mean all the guards were relaxed. Probably quite the opposite. And yes, there were other guards, even in the video. Look at around 8 secs in and you can see one.
“It’s the Internets”? Where do you think this is, 4chan? You have to take responsibility for what you say on this blog.
“It’s the Internets”? Where do you think this is, some crummy website? You have to take responsibility for what you say on this blog.
Indeed, that was my point, JFK’s assassination is surrounded by intrigue and mystery, so is rather flimsy evidence to base your resulting conclusions on.
Yes, let us all stick to rigid protocol and never question our glorious government who can do no wrong. All hail the state! Seriously though, you can’t rely on protocol to keep someone safe, if you were to, it would quickly slip into habit and habit is easy to predict…
Oh god, ROFL! I can’t help it, I HAVE to respond…
You’re saying following security protocol while in a foreign country is equivalent to totalitarianism? *wheeze, ROFL* and you’re complaining that I correlated protesting with violence?
Stick a fork in, baby. This is just TOO hilarious…
*sniff, giggle*
Damn, protocol droids are annoying!
“You’re saying following security protocol while in a foreign country is equivalent to totalitarianism? (…) and you’re complaining that I correlated protesting with violence?”
No, I was saying that rigidly following any protocol without question is what leads to a totalitarian regime. My fault, I didn’t clarify myself. Also i was saying that strictly adhering to a set of rules makes your movements easy to predict, thus endangering the person whom follows it’s life. I do apologise for not explaining myself with regards to my initial comment in that previous post though.
With regards to your second sentence quoted above; does that mean that you agree that it was foolish to compare terrorists and protesters?
Tumah, I do not profess to be an Emperor, and before one goes around attempting to quote philosophical errors in logical arguments one should check the ad hominems you continue to spew. A name here doesn’t often mean anything, unless you are attemtping to say that you are cancerous and should be removed for your lack of tact. Now here I remain a little relaxed with my commenting, no need for full out political responses as this is a place of sarcasm. Though if you really like we could debate until I am blue in the face and I don’t think I will get anywhere with you. This is because you have shown little respect for what you previously say or the people who have been here. You came in on a high horse and have not left your I-know-I-Am-Right pedestal.
Furthermore, you should not be so brash as to judge the ins and outs of a society you have yet to fully understand. When one of our own comes under attack, you should be prepared that many will come to their aid. Hence my reference to video games. Dragon is well respected here, she has proven herself many a times before I even got here. You would do well to take your time to understand what you are getting yourself into before you jump to conclusions.
ROFL!
Emperor, no one cares!
Don’t lie, you care, bothered yourself enough to respond.
Yes he did…. Watch it again
Ya, I replied to myself, wayyyy above.
To me it seems Brown is going to shake the guard’s hand, who doesn’t respond, so Brown turns away, and then the guard tries to shake Brown’s hand when it’s already too late. So they both fail a bit. I don’t see this as such a huge mistake though, everyday stuff.
Except that it was caught on camera. Hee.
Any humour, please? It would be nice to have a little fun in your life.
Oh, I missed the non-handshake. What a d*ck.

I will no longer feel insulted when Failbloggers call Americans arrogant, then.
When did being friendly become arrogant?
I wonder if Tumah realises that the policeman outside 10 Downing street is not, infact a royal guard? I wonder if Gordan Brown knows it? I do believe Americans to be arrogant, not all of them are obviously, but what other nation renames discoveries which are already in their own tongue to suit themselves? Or books? Or decides that they best know how to rule everyone’s country?
That is a bit contentious, gaynorvader. I can’t really say anything, as my Japanese side has been off conquering most of East Asia in WWII, and my British side has been conquering a quarter of the world until ten years ago.
It is, but it bothers me when Americans (hope this doesn’t cause offence to anyone as I haven’t noticed anyone here doing it) claim their country to be the saviors of the world.
I see what you mean, but until Iraq the United States were very reluctant to go to war. And when they do fight, they do it with good intentions. The previous Chen-, I mean Bush Admin have tarnished this slightly by rushing into a nation without an exit plan.
*snork*
Veitnam? The first Iraq war? Afghanistan? All the arms they fed to fuel wars they didn’t want to fight across Africa and Asia?
Honestly, Bondfan? I don’t think it’s always with “good intentions”. It’s about national security, geographic strategic significance (think cold war invasions in the mid-east), and economic significance (oil and other key resources). But the real reasons are not easily marketable, so we are given justifications like “we’re out to liberate the people of Elbonia” or some such thing.
There are exceptions, but the purely humanitarian actions are usually very limited, and only under UN mandates.
Who, me? Cynical? Never!
Yes, Vietnam was an unmitigated disaster, but that was due to the Communism hysteria going around. The previous two wars have also been unsuccessful, and I fear the Afghan war has made things worse. Their government is now of the most corrupt, next to India, and the poppy crop growth is at its highest.
Sorry, Brewski, my mind was set on the Second World War, when there really was a real threat to the world. The other wars have been catastrophes.
Even in WW2, the USA committed atrociaties, even though it only fought about 2 years of it.
Wow! I was just saying that friendly does not equal arrogance…didn’t mean to start a political debate…
It’s funny how stuff like that can happen, eh?
The first Iraq war? You mean the one where Saddam invaded Kuwait and we stopped him? I find it hard to imagine how anyone other than Saddam Hussein himself was ever in opposition to that war, yet they still exist.
Jake, I still think the only REAL reason we got involved in that one (and the last one) was to protect our oil interests. We didn’t go over there with the sole intention of protecting the PEOPLE there, that’s for sure.
Trust me, that bothers me too.
If you’ve never heard this early Dylan song (or even if you have and want to choke up a bit again), google
With God On Our Side Dylan lyrics
Good song.
Blind patriotism is a dangerous thing. One must always question his/her leadership. Often, critics in the USA are called “unpatriotic” when criticising US policy. I was opposed to the Iraq war from day one, and for that I was labelled an unpatriotic traitor by some.
Nah, who am I kidding. USA ROOLZ!! EVERYBODY ELSE SUX!!!
Exactely. I know my government is hopeless!
Respectfully, I’d really like people to differentiate “American leadership” and “Americans” because those are by no mean the same thing. I personally know not a single American who thinks we have any business in any country that doesn’t request aid. I know, of course, that the are Americans with other viewpoints, but I wouldn’t judge an nationality by their government policies.

Or maybe he’s respectful. And since Brown’s not royalty, I doubt the guard is royal guard. and since Obama initiated, I doubt the guard will get in trouble.
wow, gordon brown just totally blew that guy off, what a jerkoff
Just a comment that this is how Gordon Brown is different from Barack Obama. (Love the accent. If I hadn’t seen Obama in the video I wouldn’t have even caught what name he said, to be truthful.)
Did you hear that the Kindle can’t pronounce Barack Obama correctly? They’re working on a patch ASAP.
Once they fix that, I’m going back to that Fail to try and win one.

The accent can make it a little tricky to catch. Some people have a hard time with any kind of accent.
I actually do love the accent, even if I had trouble hearing it. When someone with an English or French accent comes to the restaurant where I work I purposely talk to them a lot just to keep hearing it. If they are female and French also do the little pouty face I want to propose right on the spot.
There’s a guy in my building with an irish accent, I nearly melt every time he talks!
I don’t even notice irish accents, unless they’re from Cork or Kerry.
yes, quite possibly the sexiest accent out there!
melts ..clean up asile 4
It’s wierd how different parts of the world find different things sexy, isn’t it?
When I was in Scotland, I nearly spontaneously combusted what with all the sexy accents. I almost fell over when a guy hit on me because he thought MY accent was sexy.
Well, Dragon-accents ARE sexy!
I can understand Indian, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, and several other accents quite well. But Irish still gets me every time, I always have trouble understanding it!
I have trouble understanding Irish accents sometimes, I’m pretty sure some of them don’t even understand themselves!
The only accent I have trouble with is the Glaswegian accent. Most Scots accents I have no trouble with, but a guy from Glasgow…? Completely incomprehensible.
A Glaswegian once asked me to have a drink with him, and I had to ask him to repeat the question three or four times. I think the way he said it, “drink” had about four syllables…
For some reason I seem to be partial to Scottish accents…not sure why.
Me? A suave British one every time!
I will take one of those and a Scottish accent as well please.
I think girls with Australian accents are cute.
yeah, Australian works every time too.
Do you mean English accent? I only say that because “Britain” encompasses Scotland, Wales, AND Northern Island. A veritable cornucopia of accents! XD
David Tennant’s accent, hmmmm …
Had trouble with Glaswegian until I lived there for a while.
This guy pronounced Barack Obama properly, only with a N/W English accent.
Proper Somerset accent and dialect is the shizzle.
Guh, yes, DT’s accent makes me drool
You keep asking people to give links for proof, so where’s your link to prove that that guy is a royal guard and that it’s a threat to national security for Obama to shake his hand? How can he be a royal guard when the PM isn’t royalty? I’m fairly sure they would have some other terminology for that.
Since you’re so fond of links, I posted one for the Wikipedia of Royal Guard. It says, “describes any group of military bodyguard, soldiers or retainers responsible for the protection of a royal person, such as a King or Queen.” Again, PM isn’t royalty. If you also read a bit further down that page, you’ll probably see that there’s a link to the Queen’s Guard. Perhaps that was what you were thinking of, but they’re the guys dressed in red. This man has a normal police officer’s hat on, with probably extra protective gear.
Also, did you not think if it was THAT important that the copper didn’t shake Obama’s hand, that he would have just not shook it? I am assuming he thought that 1.5 seconds of handshaking is just acceptable diplomacy rather than a threat to the world.
you fail for not having sound
…of mind?
What a buzzkill. The company I work for (that also pays me well to FB all day) has not seen it fit to include speakers with my computer. I usually replay the good videos when I get home from work.
Bastards! LOL …mine has the audacity to block access to certain websites. How rude!!!!
LOL, My one doesnt block anything! (mainly because the boss spends 90%+ of his time playing online games)
The guard offered to shake hands but Brown turns his back, which was awkward.
Watch my link.
Too slow
It’s not as bad as Obama shaking the hand of a saluting Marine.

awww, i feel terrible foe denying you. let me make it up to you. it reminds me of the story where i was a little kid and just learning to talk and i wanted my mom to get yogurt at the grocery store. all i could say was ‘oert’ (it sounded like a seal noise) regardless, she couldn’t understand me and i never got the yogurt. we got all the way home, and she realized what i was saying and she almost cried. (she was emotional) any way…
Aww…
I would totally do that too. Moms are so sweet. 
-
…and don’t feel bad.
When my oldest was learning how to talk she kept saying “clotet” and I had no idea what she was saying. She was so frustrated she was grinding her teeth, when I finally told her to show me what she wanted. So she pointed to the top of the fridge, where we had… chocolate. Who knew?
This is why I believe all babies must come with a manual.
But not everyone is comfortable using a clutch.
You just have to practice.
M-m-m-mister President, I-I-I had no id-d-d-dea you use F-F-Failblog.
*salutes*
Oh yeah, thanks, I guess I’m done with that.
Before I change back, let me shake your hand.
That would have come in handy! You should have seen her when I was trying to get her to add “please” to her vocabulary. She’s a stubborn, stubborn child. But I’ve had more experience at being stubborn than she has, so I won that battle. Not looking forward to the teen years. *shudders*
I must admit that I am terrified of the teen girl years. I was a bit nervous about having a girl for that reason. I remember being a teenager, and girls can be mean!
I remember being a teenage boy. You have every right to be nervous.
*is so glad he has a boy*
*sigh*
And I have two girls. My oldest is 10, the teen years are right around the corner.
*beats head on wall*
I believe girls are crueler to their mothers when they go through their evil phase.
I’m nervous for other girls too, my son is a super flirt. Started making eyes at girls as young as 6 months! I’m going to have to warn all the parents to lock their pretty girls up when my son comes around!
I swear my son speaks Chinese.
That will come in handy some day. He could become a purchasing agent for WalMart, for example.
Such a nice guy!
/sarcasm
Have you seen him smile? In the words of a comedian: “When you see him smile like that, you know he’s touching himself”.
There’s a great pic of him up on photoshopdisasters, a few posts down.
I touch myself *insert musical notes*
I found a fantastic video to go with that song, do you want me to try and find it again?
Yes please….And If you tried my (clicky)….
Remember, you asked for this…
eye bleach! STAT!
You’ll want the brain bleach too, I presume?
*nods weakly*
*hands over the various bleaches*
Sorry about that.
I will have to heed your warning next time. *scrubs vigorously*
I do usually give some kind of warning when I post stuff like that. At least, I do NOW. I’m pretty sure I gave warning then too, now that I think of it.
NO CLICKIE!!!
*hides*
DRAGON!!! *squeeze*
I think you’ve seen it already anyway.
And I’m back to my usual link now anyway.
Hi Dragon!
From now on, I’ll avoid that grog. Ouch.
Oooh…yah. It’s potent stuff!
*gives Brewski a pair of sunglasses and an aspirin*
This should help!
*slides in on a water slide covered with tequila*
*shakes head*
*looks at ceiling*
Kids these days…
*comes out of youtube with eyes widened and scarred for life*
I found that one day when I was just surfing YouTube. I posted it here then, too. I think Judy got angry with me for that one.
She’s gonna be pissed once more.
So… it’s a good thing that my computer at work won’t let me view videos from youtube then?
Yes. You like your sanity right?
Very much. I’ll stop grumbling about no videos at work, then.
Yeah, it’s a good thing. In this case a VERY good thing. I can’t hear that song anymore without that video coming to mind.
I commented about the cruelty of posting that clickie, and Failblog moderated it! WTF?! No bad words or anything!
*orders another tanker of eye bleach*
*snork*
I have yet to be moderated, I expect it should happen any day now.
*hands over a tankard of bleach*
Ya know, I have totally been losing track of the number of *snork*s. Where are we at?
*eyes glaze over*
*collapses*
Is that ‘snorks’ per day or per fail?
Speaking of Snorks, my 3-year old has discovered them on Boomerang and loves them!
Snork count = 398 (approximately). It’s hard to keep the count accurate when I can’t be here very much anymore
*shakes head sadly*
Avis, Avis, Avis….
*sigh*
Don’t feel bad, sweetie, it’s okay. It’s not so bad anymore. What with some of the things I’ve seen since I’ve been here, I believe I’m starting to get a bit jaded.
Here, have a popsicle.
ARGH!! I didn’t ask for it!!
*bangs head against desk to shake image*
You want I should give more of a warning? Maybe use this guy when posting something with shock value
?
NSFA (Not Suitable For Anyone) ?
^^^ THIS was the message that got moderated. Somebody please explain this to me?
“bangs head”?
Brewski, two of my comments yesterday got moderated because I used the word noobie (only spelled differently). Go fig.
Can’t talk now, they’re watching. Meet me in WoW in….Sh*t! They’v Hello guys! It’s lovely weather over here.
But this one showed up just fine! Maybe they randomly select comments to moderate?
OK, filter test:
bangs head shake hung
Seems to have made it past the filter. Or maybe the filter is borked.
Shouldn’t he have the cue cards in front of him?
Hmph. I got “this video is not available in your country”
Ah well…
You don’t really want to see it anyway. Trust me.
yes, please!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I expect Obama is far more popular in Britain than Gordon Brown is?
Anybody from the U.K. reading this blog? Hello? That was a serious question…
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I expect Obama is far more popular in Britain than Failblog is?
Way more popular. When Obama got elected I got messages from half my UK friends congratulating me on electing the best president. Gordon is an improvement over Tony but that’s about it really.
I get why he didn’t shake though. It would be silly to always shake hands with the staff, he’d never get anything done.
Gordon is an improvement? Hell, no! He has no charisma whatsoever, and was taunted by the Lib Dems. That’s the equivalent of the President being taunted by Ron Paul.
Hardly. The Lib Dems are a serious party and Ron Paul is just a fringe lunatic.
At least he’s not Ralph Nader. *fails to find clickie of Nader’s response to Obama’s election*
How can you possibly think Gordon is an improvement over Tony. It wouldn’t matter who was PM at the time, anyone who was PM during the start of the Iraq war would be a scapegoat for that time. Tony was at least PM material. Gordon is a bureaucrat, definitely not PM material.
Yes, sorry. Obama is indeed more popular than Brown. I’m sure most people, save for Robert Mugabe and Kim Jong Il, are more popular than Gordo.
hahahahhahaha
I mean, how coulnd’t Obama be more popular? Haven’t you seen him with his shirt off?
Plus, he’s gonna be a gazillionaire once he owns all the banks and US auto makers!
*sigh* Yes… Coming soon to a theater near you.
-
So, no one saw this coming? LOL
*streaks*
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Whoooooa!!!!
Never saw a dragon’s nekkid a**.
How can the word ‘nekkid’ apply to dragons, are we not always wearing our scales? All I was doing was running very fast like a ‘streak’ of lightning, is that not the correct expression?
Usually streaking in my world means someone takes off their clothes and runs across where there is usually an audience of sorts.
-
I will accept your intention however. I prefer to.
That’s a shame. I just got Ray Stevens’ song The Streak in my head.
♪Oh yes, they called him the streak!♫
It is the correct expression, but when people started interrupting serious ceremonies by running naked through them as a joke the word streak picked up a second meaning.
This is not my first language…I am glad you confirmed it. I didn’t want to mislead gaynor.
I thought that, I’m still not down with all this new slang! (is down the correct word here, or should I have used hip?)
“What is Hip?” – Tower of Power
You are using ‘down’ correctly.
Me, I prefer to stick with plain ol’ English. It’s safer this way.
But slang is so exciting, it’s always changing!
Yeah, giving us wonders like rocket-surgery.
me, generally now, yes by far obama is more popular
I’d call that the biggest understatement I’ve heard this year, so far.
Ab-so-lute-ly
Nice avatar! Quickly, go post *anything* in the waterfowl pun run.
This fail is for the birds!
It certainly is!
I’ll second that!
I shake your hand? …no

Copy paste.

i looked at the clicky and it had tons of symbols, but no male or female
look down there. ☟
tahnk you, WIK
youre very welcome. I am having fun with this myself!
? huh? sorry, but i am completely computer illeterate, copy paste what?
The symbol, silly! Copy it from WIK’s clicky or someone else’s name, then paste it into your Name (required) space.
ooooh,
but look i figured out how to do this emoticon
*cheers for abstract* YAY!!!
lolz yeah, but i got it now
my clicky fails… looking for new one. please hold.
curently holding
Try using ALT 11 (♂) and ALT 12 (♀).
oh! youre smart! ♂ try new clicky…
easier to read, IMO (click)
Thank you for the wealth of information. I’ve been wondering how to do those symbols, too.
I use this on a lot for tax and audit: §
.
I bet Malicite does, too. And the other ‘legal beagles’ here.
Ok, so then how do you do the different smiley? I used to know, but haven’t used them for many a moon and have forgotten.
Use two of : and type between them (no spaces):
lol
shock
roll
mrgreen
oops
twisted
Just a test….
You said that wouldn’t be on the test!
Don’t forget evil

It’s slightly different than twisted.
Just barely though.
Ooh! Thanks, Ms B. I knew there was another one with twisted, but I couldn’t remember it.
.
:thumbsup:
We still need one that combines the green of mrgreen with the expression of shock. For when people say or post things that are icky. Like I did earlier.

Thanks! I’ve been feeling especially girly today.
It’s the little things that make us feel that way.
And here I thought size mattered.
Nope, it’s endurance and durability that’s important.
Hmm..Furthur inspection of your post leads me to believe it may be altogether less innocent than I first supposed…
And still, endurance and durability are highly desirable qualities as well.

*files in file cabinet under “B” for Blackmail, future possibilities*
I’m not shocked at all. I’ve never heard you mention being married, then again I have rarely spoken of Mrs. Starfish myself. It’s wierd that we can spend so much time talking to each other while actually saying so little.

it was funny how the prime minister walked away RIGHT after the policeman
extended his hand for a handshake
Most likely because Brown sees that policeman most likely every day he probably played off the formality or did it in good humor, we cant hear if there is an exchange or see Brown’s facial expressions so we will likely never know.
Unless you happen to see pictures of the exchange from a different angle. But “most likely” you won’t research that.
Just to prove how creepy his smile is, here’s a perfect picture. Clickie.
Is is just me or does he remind anybody else of the newscaster muppet from Sesame Street?
don’t touch me, filthy peasant.

The minister was like “you wish, noob”
Who’s the black guy?
Have a guess. Hint: His surname starts with “Ob” and ends with “ama”.
Oblong Sutsama?
Yes, the President of the USA is Oblong Suts – Hey, cut that out!
I am officially returning Patrica the calf♀back to you. We had a great time! I love the polish she used for her hoofs.
She enjoyed the massage too – a little too much if you ask me.
Erm. Thanks. Aww she looks all tuckered out bless her!
I didn’t see a black man. I saw Obama though who is technically half white and half black and therefore NOT black. That’s my synopsis IMO.
Thank you! I’ve been telling everyone that I didn’t think Obama was black and they kept either calling me a racist or a fool!
In America, they have this crazy rule where they determine how black someone is by a certain percentage. I really don’t get it.
Me neither, then again i don’t really see the signifigance of the colour of someone’s skin over their hair colour or the colour of their eyes! Did you know the Irish for a black man is “Fear(far) gorm(gu-rum)”? Literally translated it means ‘blue man’. This fact was brought to you today by the U.D.A.I.(Underground Dragon Association of Ireland)
So what do the Irish call the Blue Man Group? LOL
Dunno, Irish(or gaelige[gw-ale-iga]) has been dying out the last century or so.
Lame?
He is black though. And white. He’s both.
Hehe! That reminds me, clicky!
Bill Bailey is a legend!

Hi all!
*SQUEEZE!*
Hello.
*squeeze*
Nice to meet you, names Rian, LEILA said you could teach me the ways of FailBlog.
A fair greeting to be sure and may your days be long and filled with joy! Now that we are fairly met, I can teach you some basics;
1) Don’t get offended by a small correction or someone pointing something out to you.
2) If somone makes a mistake, wait a minute before correcting it, even then make sure to do it in a light manner, don’t be high handed.
3) Pun runs are popular, this is when a bunch of bloggers post in reply to one another with a word in their posts all linked by one theme. Don’t interrupt these, but feel free to join in if you can think of a new word.
4) If you see a trolls on a post, don’t try to answer them all, you’ll just attract more.
5) Never say ‘F*rst’ at the beginning of a fail, try to avoid the word altogether.
6) Have fun, don’t feel intimidated and don’t intimidate!
I should probably mention; try and be cautious with your posts. Try not to respond to everything you see, especially if you aren’t sure what’s going on, just ask someone.
One method: lurk for a few weeks, then start on a one-comment-per-fail regime. (Make sure the comments are
funnyto the point!) Then increase frequency as needed.Thank you, I will try my best follow all of these rules.
Most important: never get between Dragon and her admiral. Do not post a reply between them. If they move on, you may post to an earlier one of theirs but never their current. Much pain will follow if you break this rule.
I wish I could stay however, I have to go earn money and make a living ugh. I’m going to be back on round eleven I don’t know if you will still be here tho
Good day, Sir. I’m out. Please skewer any trolls while I’m away. Thanks so much!
Bye!
No problem, I shall commence with the slaying in the morning because, right now I’m tired from work oh well, Night!
I’m no fan of Brown at all, but you guys are aware that he’s almost blind, aren’t you?
Chances of him having seen that policeman holding his hand out = almost zero.
But still…you would think that he would have at least like held his hand out longer or something rather than pull away, it looked like Brown tried to shake back as he pulled away. I could be wrong tho
BondFan…. You play Broken Picture Telephone?!
Hammy, you’ve discovered my guilty pleasure! Are you hammykins on BPT?
Just Ham.
Oh, I see. You’re very good at drawing, Ham. I can’t scribble for tuppence.
What a mean security guard…
What a sorry state this country is in if our Prime Minister won’t even shake the hand of a man that would give his life to protect him. MP’s expenses; the EU; the financial crisis; overcrowded prisons; bankers with £5 million pensions even when they smash their own company into the ground; financial deregulation; the Iraq War. Labour’s glory years! Admittedly this isn’t all Labour’s fault though. I just feel sorry for the voters that have such limited choices as a result. Predictably the P.M. is not going to stage a general election – which is a bit of a let off for the voters. Oh well, maybe we’ll find some more weapons of mass destruction to take our minds off it. But then again I don’t think the P.M. will admit to being one. /randomrantcourtesyofafrustratedcitizenoftheU.K.whichnoonewillgiveacrapabout.
Truth win.
It’s just so damn annoying that they just ruin our lives for THEIR stupid reasons.
I am from Argentina, and our president (Mrs. Cristina Fernandez) had suffered from Obama a similar situation (I hope nodoby had said that, this blog has so many comments that I couldn’t read all):

Oh, joy he went for Harper’s hand. I am a proud Canadian today.
ouch, looked like she was waiting for a follow up sympathy shake.
GOOD EYE, KID! He’s a serial handshake-gaffe-causer.
Two things -
1) Hmm, was Brown or the guard the bigger failure..
2) “Tumah” clearly has too much time on his hands and too little brain in his head.
Now, now, don’t get him riled up again. We just put him to sleep.
Ha. I wonder who got more taunting. Brown or the guard…?

No wonder our country is so crap…
If it was a Tory PM he would have spat in the guys face before snacking on a new born while stamping kittens discussing how his house looks like Balmoral Castle.
Yeah cause Commie Britain is in such great shape. a dozen years of Socialism under the Communist Labour party has worked out great. Keep up your communism you limey pricks and you’ll soon be as advanced as Obama’s native Kenya.
Tumah!
Nice set of posts! You presented yourself way better than DW and his 8 alts! And by the way ignore the “regulars”. There is a reason most people don’t read the comments here. They make 4chan look like educated discourse
Just because they post all day doesn’t mean it is worth reading. I really wish I could just put them on ignore.
Why would you people lie to each other when you’re all you have???
Irony, you are clearly talking to me… Or do you have such a low opinion of yourself as to reference yourself as a no one. Aside from that, please enlighten me, what master do I have?
*beats Alicia (the troll) with her Troll-bashing cane*
*beats the troll again*
Careful lurk, tiny brain and short temper allows for the spewing of tons of nonsense. S/he googles some terms and uses them but has no idea why. S/he doesn’t believes a sharp tongue is no indication of a keen mind. So s/he uses word that might fool the untrained eye. Just be patient with their kind.
Hmmm… maybe that’ll work, the troll-bashing cane doesn’t seem to have any effect.
Don’t tell him/her that she was missing an “l” on pulling servile cur.

Emp… “puling” is the correct spelling. It comes from “to pule”, meaning to cry, whine and fuss…
Meh, there is a similar saying with pulling.

I see you’ve set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. You are doing a fantastic job, please continue. This non-sense, it has no effect if no one listens to you.
Ew, Emporer, I think it’s trying to lick you! Maybe we should have it checked for rabies.
Aww gross, pass me the shamwows first. Lets release it to the wild because I am not paying those bills.
Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. Just thought I would let you know before you got out of hand.
My reality intermingles with yours quite frequently though!
And boy do I enjoy those moments.
*snugglesmooch*
You’re always welcome to get out of hand with me!
*smoochies*
I am just glad to be welcome in your arms.
*snuggle*
*double smooch*
You must be the arithmetic wo/man; you add trouble, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance.
*snork!*
You can. It’s called “don’t go to the comments section.” Problem solved.
geeze, people, chill out. it’s funny. don’t try to link it to risks over national security.
ok… I DONT GET IT!!!
Are you blonde? No offence.
I think they’re just a stupid person who doesn’t watch the news.
I get it, and I AM a blonde!
In that case it must have taken an day or two.
Have I Got News For You FTW!
Typical, silly old Brown.
Brown is just a natural fail :]
Yeah, to reiterate Andy’s point… I’m pretty sure it’s the eye on that side that he’s completely blind in.
This does not deserve to be here. Gordon Brown is blind in one eye and can only see 30% with his other one. He did not shake the policeman’s hand for one simple reason. He can’t see him.
“Heres the cash ill see you in the back later”
I was puzzled at first, but then I realized that Brown thought that the guard wasn’t offering to shake his hand, so he started to turn away. It is at this point that the guard realizes that Brown wants to shake his hand, but Brown is already looking away.
Youre really lasdöa
Denied.
Once again another clear indicator of Obamas swagger
it wasnt that funny really..
he is nearly blind!
JFK was shot because he outed his banker, NWO overlord oligarchs for meddling into politics, for controlling the nation by creating debt through the federal reserve. World bankers are controlling Barack, as is evident- Kissenger was his first employer and his books are said by experts to be ghost written to groom him. I’ve worked directly for congressmen and they openly discuss it. How can you all be so confused???
Baracks’ job is to play “Good Cop” to Bushes “Rape Cop”, which is why we just went trillions into debt on the federal reserves credit card- they used to get South America and other foreign countries into their debt (See the Marshall Plan) now they’re cannibalizing off Americans now that they’ve globalized. We are like penned animals for them to fleece. Go watch Zeitgeist I and II.
I simply think it shows the ignorance of our P.M. In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And can’t do sums. Or respect our fallen dead. Basically, the man’s an arse. Just my opinion….
MEGA FAIL!!!
Basically you are all a bunch of NERDS why do you have to display all of of your actions by placing them inbetween asterisks ,it is a bit gay and no-one cares
Useless fat incompetent Scottish wanker.
What I find most worrying is that someone felt that the video had to have arrows identifying Brown and Obama!
How insulting.
As we all know Obama isn’t Brown and Brown’s clearly not Black!
Brown’s White and Obama’s not Brown, he’s Black for goodness sake!
isnt ‘Obama’ the nickname of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of austria?
