  1. No hair and good hygiene! I’m in!

  2. Avis says:

    Very desirable qualities, really.

    • Ms B ♥ says:

      Agreed

    • Avis, you & I should work at one of those hair removal places where we ‘comfort’ the men after they have their body hair removed.
      .
      ;)

      • Avis says:

        I think Fulffy has the more appropriate name for that job. ;)

        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

          Do you take care your rack? You know in pool terms.

          • Avis says:

            Very well, thank you very much!

            • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

              Question, I took this info from behind. Are you good at pool now? Did you always beat your friend of the time, or did you let him win. Fun fact: Avis never looses. She just doesn’t try.

            • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

              I meant from below*

              • Avis says:

                I’m not all that good at pool, I’m ok, not great though.
                Why did your comment sound like a line from a movie?

                • Dragonwriter says:

                  Hee….I’ve been playing pool since I was 14. Have my own custom cue and everything. Oh, lordy, the amount of time I’ve spent in little dive bars taking money from guys who thought girls can’t play…

                  • Admiral Apparent says:

                    I have no doubt you were facing stiff competition, too.

                    • Dragonwriter says:

                      Funny how their cues droop lower and lower as they get trounced by a girl in front of all their friends, though.

                      • LEILA says:

                        ♪ anything you can do we can do it better ♪
                        -
                        :D

                        • Starfish says:

                          Write your name in the snow with pee (your own pee).

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          *goes to get the turkey baster*

                        • LEILA says:

                          I was thinking more like a funnel…but I believe turkey baster is a splendid idea.

                        • Starfish says:

                          You just ruined the one thing I thought I did better than women. Darn turkey basters replacing men all over the place.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Aww….!

                          *squeeze*

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Dragon you bring to mind the Fresh Prince episode where the father hustles the hustlers. Did you name your cue?

                          Starfish fear not, peeing standing up is all we got. Anyways, women are awesome, what they do what they can do. Take for instance a woman in heels. How it accentuates their calf and all. Man (not offensively) women, whatever you are doing keep doing it, you are awesome.
                          *Commences huge clap*
                          Now if only the ones I knew would stop drop kicking my heart…

                        • LEILA says:

                          Emperor, whoever drop kicks your heart is not worthy of you. Especially after your speech.

                        • Starfish says:

                          Thanks
                          *squeeze*
                          BTW Dragon, check out Baby Starfish on my clickie.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Thanks Leila.

                        • Ms B says:

                          *picks heart up, dusts it off, kisses it better and hands back to Emperor*

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Um, that belongs to you, no take-backs. :)
                          *smoochie*

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          CUTE!!!!! Oh, Starfish, he’s adorable!!

                          @Emp. First, my cue’s name is Baldur, because it’s a Viking cue. Secondly, if I wore high heels I’d be about six-foot four. Gentle hint…? Women prefer to be praised for our brains, our accomplishments, our personalities, our humo(u)r…not our footwear. Now, while there’s nothing wrong with admiring a fine-turned calf, we like men who appreciate our substance rather than our peripherals. :)

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          *deletes comment*
                          That was a lot nicer than what I had cued up.

                        • Starfish says:

                          Thanks Dragon!!!!

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          No doubt. I just didn’t want to hog the blog with all that I could appraise. :D There is too much wit, humo(u)r and well accomplishments can usually be seen by your clickies. Oh, it is hard to visualize as well a sense of wit. Just know, I appreciate everything women do, they do it so well.

                          Plus, I believe most guys will attest that when it comes to the other way around, most guys like to firstly have a woman notice that we are in shape, then get them to know the real them.. Well that may be my personal opinion. I believe that transmits that I take care of myself, am confident and I hope that subconsciously it transmits that ability to care for another as well.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Admiral…I’ll let you field this one.

                          And you’re welcome, Starfish! *squeeze*

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          I’d rather a woman find my conversation stimulating at first meeting.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          No, I mean previous to a word being said. In that sense. I understand the wisdom you are trying to impart. I have gone up to a woman I found physically attractive before and found she was conversationally inept. That is when I chose to leave. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          *takes away previous*
                          *replaces with prior*
                          That makes more sense.

                        • LEILA says:

                          But…but Dragon, he said us women were awesome!!! :D You do make very good points though. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Acutally, I don’t think I could have. So, brava!!!!

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Thanks leila, but she was right. Wait, and still is right.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Emp, you still have to approach each other based on some initial criteria.

                          I would MUCH prefer that a woman turn her head around and notice me for something I said than spy me from across the room. People become more physically attractive once you see their inner beauty, anyway. Unless you are just looking for sex, I think you will find your search for a partner more rewarding if listen while keeping an open mind and heart.

                        • teisn tends to forget full stops says:

                          A talent most people lack

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Ya, your right. I am still young and learn I must. (20->21) Thanks for the great advice. It is better to be noticed for a brain rather than a car or body. Now a personal question, how does one prevent a girl of interest from crossing the friend line, upon which engaging in a relationship would be questionable. Honesty is not working atm.

                        • teisn tends to forget full stops says:

                          Do you mean you have a female friend that wants a relationship that you don’t want or vice versa

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          “if you listen”^

                        • Starfish says:

                          Admiral, that’s great advice. Emperor, if you follow what he says, you will find the right person for you.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Neither of us are necessarily ready for a full on relationship, but she wants to become my friend now, even though she has previously expressed that she doesn’t like to date friends. I am currently attempting to keep her at arms length. We also have a sort of agreement that we will try it eventually, just right now isn’t the time. She needs a crutch now though since she recently went through a hard breakup. I fear she is adopting me into the close friend role.

                        • teisn tends to forget full stops insert where required says:

                          Women change their minds constantly. Although she says she won’t date friends now in the future she may. The question is can you handle becoming a close friend with nothing else (another outcome)

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          “A talent most people lack”
                          All the more reason to make it a primary criteria.

                          Can you clarify, Emp. Are you trying to prevent the relationship from becoming one of friendship because you fear she may not date you later?

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          I don’t understand the question. I think your definition of “friend” is very different than mine…

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          (Obviously that was NOT aimed at my most admirable Admiral! *smooch*)

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Oh, and I can’t let this pass….

                          @teisn…PEOPLE change their minds constantly!! PEOPLE!!

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Spot on admiral. (If I become her friend, one without the feelings or intentions towards each other is the definition I am using.) Well assuming she sticks to her rule of not dating close friends well then that will rule me out, which I believe she doesn’t want, I don’t want it. But in the other hand she needs somebody now. Stuff is getting thick (innuendo not intended) in her life right now.

                        • teisn tends to forget full stops insert where required says:

                          Sorry i forgot my political correctness ;)

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          It’s not political correctness. It’s just plain fact.

                        • teisn tends to forget full stops insert where required says:

                          If you care enough about her then there should be no question. Be there for her no matter the outcome. You will have not lost anything, only gained

                        • evan...if he only had a brain ♫ says:

                          If things are getting thick in her life, she might appreciate a friend before strife … (2 cents, sure. Sorry)

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Problem is, I shes important to me. Seeing her go with someone else, well it would break my heart. Though I would have to deal with it.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          *converts “I” into an ” ‘ ” and applies between “e” and “s”.

                        • teisn tends to forget full stops insert where required says:

                          Yet you would have gained all that time with her. If you do nothing you would never experience what it is like to get close to her. You would only regret

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          You can’t make someone fall in love with you. If you love her, you will find it in your heart to be happy for her when she finds someone that makes her happy.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Currently we call each other, hang out, play rock band, text each other. All that jazz, I have taken her for ice cream. I have some experience with her, just don’t want to get too attached if by doing so I am guaranteeing a heartache.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          I’m not trying to make her fall in love, just don’t want to automatically disqualify myself if there is a chance.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Emp…love is all about thinking of the other person before yourself. If she’s not worth the risk of heartache, then I’d say you don’t really love her.

                          But…that’s my own perception of a very complicated emotion.

                        • teisn tends to forget full stops insert where required says:

                          …and we should all live in holes alone so we shall never know the pain of the heart…
                          To feel pain is to feel life. Although i realise that this is not something everyone agrees with

                        • Starfish says:

                          Emperor, you should go for it. Wear your heart on your sleeve and take the risk. A broken heart is better then a missed opportunity.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Okay, you feel something for her that she does not reciprocate. You hope someday she will. So, you are contemplating ending the friendship to avoid being hurt later. I find that…odd. A close friendship is something to cherish. If you love this person, you need to start thinking about HER happiness and not your own.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          She is definitely worth the risk. Scuse me Admiral but I will attempt to be her knight in shining armo(u)r.
                          *Pulls out heart, tapes to sleeve*
                          Ms Frizzle was right, take chances make mistakes. Well I am going to go for it. No matter the consequences I will be there for her.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Well to be honest, she does feel the same for me, but because of her previous a-hole bf, who cheated on her 4 times. She is not ready for anything soon. That is the dilemma but thanks all. You really did help.

                          Side topic, why do some people submit themselves to relationships where they know they are going to get hurt, but the keep going back.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Just don’t do it because you think it might cause her to change her mind. Do it because she needs a friend and you want her to be happy. Do not have strings attached to your actions, even if they are only in your head. She is not responsible for your happiness–you are.

                        • Starfish says:

                          Good luck!!!
                          Emperor FTW!!!!!

                          I have no good input for your side note. If you figure that one out, you could make a fortune in the self-help world.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          I am a straight up person Admiral, I don’t like to do things with ulterior notions. Clashes with my morals, I don’t like people who play games. Well you know mind and heart games. Board games, video games and others of that sort are ok. So ya, it will be with her best interest at heart.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          Starfish, I don’t think I would live long enough to F**k the world.

                        • Starfish says:

                          I am so confused. Did they change FTW back to F*ck the world without me knowing it? You guys gotta keep me in the loop.

                        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

                          It changes on a whim so. We can’t exactly keep track, its more of a reactive instinct nowadays.

                      • Admiral Apparent says:

                        Guys that feel that way should take their cue and leave. I, personally, am not intimidated by girls who call their own shots.

      • Brewski DOT ORG! says:

        At risk of tl;dr, here goes: I used to be on the track team in college, and we had this huge incredibly powerful shotputter from Greece (one of the top in the world at the time). He was hairy as an ape. One day I saw him in a relatively hairless state, laying on the trainers table. The trainer was working on his back with a small knife. The shotputter explained that he shaved his body for his girlfriend, and now he had painful ingrown hairs all over. It was one of the most comical scenes I’ve ever witnessed. (Guess ya had to be there)

    • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

      On a scale of 1 to desirable this ranks a desirable? Hmm wow, good to know. Glad I take care of my balls. Ahem, um you know when bowling or playing pool.

  3. wahnula says:

    What about the shaft???

  4. King Mykul says:

    How does this make a fail. I like smooth shafts and clean balls.

  5. Judy says:

    Is that smoke coming from the innuendo machine?

  6. Malicite, Bored Paralegal and Supporter of the Anti-Troll Initiative says:

    Marie must be very special…

  7. King Mykul says:

    *replaces first period with a question mark*
    Dang.

  8. mthrndr says:

    This is a win, dude.

  9. jimbo says:

    seems like a win to me.

  10. Brewski DOT ORG! says:

    They almost made a clean getaway!
    Ha ha ha!
    Uh… wait. Nevermind.

  11. Nacoran says:

    I may need a ball cleaner.

  12. spacemanspiff says:

    Win for me

  13. ooooh, damn it!! I was doing work when i should have been watching the time for the new post. arrrgg. anyway, happy Friday all! *squeezes all*

  14. chitown says:

    This place is in west-side Chicago. Gotta love it.

  15. papple says:

    clean shafts and smooth balls may be more of a bonus though

  16. SG says:

    How is this a fail? Obviously, the sign was worded like that intentionally, and is quite clever. I would say it’s actually a win.

  17. Avis says:

    It’s good to know we’re all swimming in the same gutter today.

  18. sp0ng3r says:

    This is not a fail. It was clearly done intentionally….

  19. sauer kraut says:

    Is Marie’s golden cue fitted with a smooth shaft?

  20. LEILA says:

    I saw a billboard once for a billiard hall indicating they had a nice rack.

  21. Sean says:

    That’s a win if I’ve ever seen one

  22. 666-horsepower-trolling-motor says:

    Straight pool only for me thank you.

  23. sauer kraut says:

    Those snorg tee ads juxtaposed next to Marie as making me wonder… what is she thinking?

  24. 666-horsepower-trolling-motor says:

    Oh that’s the “WAS THAT A FART?” look if I’ve ever seen it.

  25. teisn says:

    I know that this is unrelated to this fail.
    I would just like to thank the regulars for their conversation with Tumah (Gordon Brown Fail). I am still in disbelief over the fact that there is actually someone so thick out there (and I have met a few thick people).
    Keep up the good work.

  26. paul says:

    Yeah, I doubt they really have an ATM in there!

  27. Will B. says:

    Since this is obviously deliberate…shouldn’t it be considered “WIN” ?

    Heh.

  28. cmh says:

    This is not a fail, it’s obviously exactly what they wanted to put on the sign.

    Since when did failblog become boringoldjokeblog?

  29. Blue2thFairy says:

    Sheeesh, I leave for an hour and someone sploded the innuendo machine all over the place….hey…what’s that stuff up there on the ceiling?

  30. UKSponge360 says:

    Hygeine WIN

  31. I Dream of Hygiene says:

    Better?

  32. anonymous says:

    How can something that is clearly intentional be labeled a FAIL?

    Great sign though…

  33. Mamawheelie says:

    Okay, totally intended to be that way, not a fail. I quite like seeing signs like this one.

  34. sammy says:

    Maybe they meant their own balls on purpose? You never know!

  35. Mouserz says:

    this is a win.

  36. LEILA says:

    No videows on Fridays? :(

  37. B says:

    Um, actually that’s an epic win if you ask me.

  38. Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

    DRAGON DRAGON. Oh my gosh. I didn’t know it was true. I am sorry for the lack of faith. I just saw my first regular hater. Back on gordon brown fail, at the bottom. His name is Z, and you will never guess what he said. Ha he said Tumah out posted you… saying Tumah won.
    *Now chastises inner child for telling*

  39. Phil says:

    That sign is not phail, it is epic win.

  40. donkeyinawhitecoat says:

    Hay! That sign is right down the street from my house! I feel sort of tangentially famous!

  41. Anonymus says:

    Pools closed.

    and as phil said, epic win.

  42. As for attracting female and gay customers this rather smells of success.

  43. ballsdeep says:

    ***masturbates***

  44. Sam888 says:

    *warning, this comment actually refers to the posted picture*

    This is another win mis-labled as a fail.

  45. Malicite, Bored Paralegal and Supporter of the Anti-Troll Initiative says:

    Have a glorious weekend everyone! See you Monday!

  46. Carmilla says:

    omg hilarious! my first time coming here and now it will be my one of my favs XD

  47. Tony Bullard says:

    This is not a fail, it is called humor. There are few things sadder than when failblog mistakes humor as idiocy.

  48. Blue2thFairy says:

    Have a good weekend all!

  49. Sir Rian Holy Slayer of trolls for God! says:

    Hi everybody!
    *waves*

  50. Zack says:

    I dunno… It looks like a win to me.

    • Sir Rian Holy Slayer of trolls for God! says:

      *Charges zack and Douchee*
      *Slashes Zack into two*
      *Jumps and fells Douchee with a back flip slash*
      Phew, first trolls of the day. :D

  51. my eyes fell out, i can’t find my mimosa. help!

  52. Sir Rian Holy Slayer of trolls for God! says:

    Yea.. sorry about that.

  53. forge says:

    That’s not a fail, it’s deliberate and it’s a WIN. It’s a fricking POOL HALL for Chrissake.

  54. RoyBatty says:

    Epic Fail – For Failblog yet again Failing to Appreciate Intentional Humor…

  55. IRJesoos says:

    My girl just finished cleaning my shaft. Actually, I’m not joking.

  56. niceracks says:

    No smooth shafts or clean balls on this blogdaily gif girl blog

    -
    But definitely some nice racks!

  57. lolagretchen says:

    win

  58. Cuddlefish says:

    Better than rough shafts and dirty balls I suppose. It sounds like a pain to play snooker with.

  59. etienne says:

    This isn’t really a FAIL because they clearly intended to make a dick joke.

  60. Tarryl says:

    This is a win

  61. Your Mother says:

    yes they meant to do that and yes it’s still a win u dopes. buttmunches

  62. caitlin says:

    YES chicago. I live right down the street from this place, died laughing the first time I saw it haha. the other side says “Go Bear” just one tho, not the whole tea.

  63. KeithO says:

    Isn’t that a win?

  64. Smidge says:

    I say it’s Win, not Fail. :D

    • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance. says:

      It is one thing to say it, something entirely different to believe it.

  65. DINGUS says:

    Is it really fail if it’s intentional?

  66. Well goodnight anyone who is still on here!
    I’ll be back on in the morning!
    Goodnight :)

  67. Gilbert Denning says:

    wouldn’t touch that place with a 5ft pole

  68. mk says:

    what more could you ask for?!

  69. Denny Crane says:

    That’s what she said.

  70. Greg says:

    I think that’s a win…not a fail

    • Don Martin says:

      I agree with Greg. It’s obvious they wanted to say something with a double sense. A definite win!

  71. Kate says:

    That’s not a fail… that’s a WIN if you ask me!

    • teisn wants to crawl in a hole and die says:

      I think i keep seeing things. I swear I have seen this comment before.
      *scratches head and wonders off*

  72. askungen01 says:

    havent read though ALL the replies, but my 0.02$ is that they worded that sign very much on purpose and so it’s not a fail. and its damn funny.

  73. Sgt. Obvious says:

    Clearly intentional and clearly a win.

  74. l says:

    liquor in the front, poker in the back.

  75. Jeff says:

    This was a definite WIN. :-)

  76. EverboundVEnvel says:

    OH MY! *fans herself* XD

  77. elik says:

    ATM just seems to support the double entendre…

  78. Chicken says:

    Hot girls doing 69 for 25 minutes straight!!

  79. George says:

    That’s actually pretty common. I used to work at a billiard room (which will go un-named) whose tag line was “Rack Your Balls at…”

  80. Sarah says:

    You know, I drive past this bar every day, and never ever registered what the sign says (and it still says it).

  81. Mike says:

    i frequent this pool hall all the time. chi-town represent.

    the owner’s a total badass, and he knows full well what the sign says. to me, this is the most epic of wins. he gets calls about it all the time with people complaining. his reply is usually,

    “well, we are a pool hall…and we have smooth shafts and our balls are clean. i can’t help it where your mind goes”

    this place has the smoothest shafts and the cleanest balls on the north side.

  82. ELS1976 says:

    What makes this especially awesome for me is that I lived about two blocks away from that place for the last 5 years. I got the WTF moment.

  83. gaojo says:

    because the innuendo was surely unintentional

  84. dave says:

    Another “win” posted as a “fail”. What’s up with this site lately?

  85. monbon says:

    technically its an advertising win!

  86. Frank Golightly says:

    OK, so every funny sign is a fail now. Uh, no.

  87. Michael Una says:

    Whoa! That’s around the corner from my house- I walk by that every day. And I think it’s intentional…

  88. Beezy says:

    is this in Chicago?

  89. skittlesxmonster says:

    hahaha you can ell that was on purpose xD

  90. VMP says:

    yea, this is in Chicago. Its in my old neighborhood. definitely NOT fail. They do this kind of stuff on their sign every so often.

  91. Lauren says:

    lol this is a block from my house on montrose in chicago

  92. Kevin Combs says:

    not fail. good advertising!

  93. John1297 says:

    Very nice site!

  94. connah says:

    it’s obvious that it’s intentional… damn good publicity.

  95. glynn says:

    hell that could be a win from a different point of view

  96. blasphemy says:

    “we have shafts, balls, and a whole lot of fail”

  97. Jen says:

    I work for a Billiards company and this lingo is daily jargon in the office!
