Gravity.
Always.
Wins.
no. chuck norris does
no bruce lee does
you did not DIS chuck norris ! watch ur back from any flying roundhouse kicks
You are lucky I agree with you. Or else I would go grammar Nazi on your ass.
Chuck is da bomb XD
After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending Chuck Norris. It was more “humane”.
Did you not see Way of the Dragon? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbIwQMBeC2c
yes, but who is still living to this day?
the only reason bruce lee beat chuck norris in the wat of the dragon is because the part of bruce lee was played bt chuck norris xDDD haha!!
Bruce Lee is the reason Chuck Norris ever got a job….
LMFAO.
bruce lee trained chuck norris. also, he kicked his ass in enter the dragon. norris would be nothing without lee.
No Jesus does!
Always.
Except while in space
chuck norris still wins there.
Space is expanding in a worthless attempt to escape Chuck Norris.
They say behind Chuck Norris’ bear is not a chin, but another fist.
A fist is hiding behing his bear?
Space and time are relative, but Chuck Norris isn’t.
The space time continium is loosley based on Chuck Norris’s brain activity.
Actually, good ol’ Chuck is a relative..
Really? Of yours? Will you marry/adopt me?
Nope. You just have to wait longer.
There is no such thing as gravity.
Everything sucks.
Nothing sucks. It’s all just a change in pressure.
Even this vid.
Am i the only one who noticed the fail guy’s name is C-Man

SUPERMAN IS BACK !!!!!
It’s all fake.
And I mean wrestling, not the fail.
I was thinking you meant their tans.
Hmm… sarcasm?
I think you meant whatever is in their tight undies … it’s fake!
I don’t know, those socks look like real socks to me…
-stares-
Socks are lies.
*returns stare*
*it’s not the same*
Chuck Norris > Socks Real or Fake
Chuck Norris doesn’t wear socks, it’s his leg hair woven around his foot.
*takes Norris and Chucks him out the 17th floor window*
That’s that.
*the ground is so scared of Chuck Norris it moves out the way*
BTW *squeeze* to all.
A question — as a general matter do the FB regulars care if a fail video or pic is a “fake?” I know it pisses the heck out of certain people.
Nope! Funny is funny, whether it’s real or made up.
Actually, we have a lot of fun at their expense. Hence the sarcastic ‘photoshopped’ and ‘pixels’ replies from the regular FBers.
.
Those, and the ‘how come almost all of the comments have nothing to do with the fail’ people. Those are my personal faves to tinker with.
That is what I thought, and I agree — just makin sure. Didn’t want to “get in trouble” especially since I am already branded a lolspeak groupy….
I love the folks who say, “That was intentional, it’s not a fail!!”, as if it’s all okay and not a monumental fail if you meant to be a dumbass. In my mind, those tend to be the biggest fails of all.
Velvet’s globe is an obvious photoshop. Look at the pixels!
*earflicks Brewski*
.
It’s a disco ball, not a globe. THBBBT!
.
I deny any allegations that my avatar has been altered in any way.
Lies! The time on the clock is 5 minutes off!
*gasp*
Curses! My plan is foiled!
A disco ball, you say? Hmm. Let me reflect on that.
Brilliant!!!
Are you saying you’ve taken a shine to me?
I think you light up her life.
You mirror my thoughts exactly.
Watch it! He may be a member of the Glitterati!
I thought they were all locked away in prism.
Don’t forget the long time lurkers/occasion posters!
I like a good sarcastic reply as much as the next person!
Gettin’ revenge for all the bullies who threw your glasses on the ground when you were in science club, eh?
wrestling is a fail. always
Do you feel like you’re the first one in the world to stumble across this revelation or something?
*curses IT for not allowing youtube access*
*Joins in the curses just for fun*
Wrestler #2 does a flying backward leap toward wrestler #1, who isn’t quite there anymore, so he lands on his head all alone in the ring.
Ooof — that had to hurt. I hate it when that happens!
Ooooh…our kitty cat friends are here!!! YAY!!!!

*refrains from saying the multitude of vulgar, naughty things that popped to mind*
You cheezpeeps are awesome and a lot of fun to have around, but you really give my gutter-brain a workout some days!
We are glad to be of service — at ICHC we would just tell you to take yourself off the NB (naughty barn). We keep a good supply of YNGs (young nakkid guys – or girls).
Glad to be able to provide you with some excersize.
If you want a real workout, come visit our Naughty Barn.
I can only assume that “furry” is a word that appears there, frequently.
Excuse me? You have a dirty mind, Dragon? I hate to think what that makes me.
*considers therapy*
Hi guys!! *pets AP and nightshayde*
*purrrrrrrr*
*pets Brewski*
There was a girl in my neighborhood growing up that would pet the person she was talking to. It got really annoying, really fast.
That’s just…weird. I’m guessing it was fairly awkward as well!
It was one of those things where you just put up with it, she had a learning disability and was really sweet.
I knew someone who was a real close-talker. I don’t really mind those, except she had the biggest boobs I have ever seed, so while talking to you they would kinda rest on your arm…
I knew a boy who, if he deemed you weren’t really listening to him, tugged on your ear.
How many times did he get slapped?
Countless. But he never did stop doing that, though. I have no idea why he would tug ears.
His mother probably did that to him when he wasn’t paying attention to her.
Come to think of it, he did mention his father did that to him when he wasn’t listening.
*pets abstract*
Hiya!!!
*squoze a la velvet or was it Ms B?*
Me! I’m the squozer!
LOL
In case I haven’t today … *squoze*
The squozer has been squozen! HAHAHAHA!
.
*squozes back*
Hmph. I said something on the previous fail and no one responded.
*feels crappy anyway IRL, now feels crappier here with added chapping sensation in the liver area*
Awwww! I sowwy!
*offers froofy girly drink*
Cheer up!
Thx. OW! Forgot to take the paper umbrella out before sipping.
Lack of cheer is due to lack of health. Earache and sinusache, likely payback for that regrettable incident yesterday with the megaphone.
Can we get you a YNG from cheeseland? He could give you a good massage, or iron your shirt, whichever you need more …
You rang?
Can you massage my ear with the iron, please?
*soaks a ShamWow in ice water*
*wrings out ShamWow & gently applies the cold cloth to LCB’s … um … burglar mask area*
I am chilly and feely yucky in the discomfort of my office. Had to teach a class this morning and just now got off the phone with my immediate bosservisor, who spent 45 minutes briefing me for a meeting I have tomorrow with our mutual uberbosservisor. No cats in sight, sigh.
Thx for the shamwow, though. I should just make a mask from one of them for times like these.
Poor kitty.
*Takes newly washed black sweater and puts it on the couch*
Thxzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
*”accidenty” a cookie on the coffee table and wanders into the other room*
{{{{{LCB}}}}}
Why glum, chum?
Poor baby.
*squeeze!*
Oops…sorry. I didn’t mean to squeeze your liver there.
Gall bladder issues? Or a reference to yesterday’s fails?
Sorry. I didn’t see it.
Good morning/night/whatever LCB. Not feeling well?
*pours LCB a stiff adult drink*
Does this help?
Mmmm… stiff adult… drink.
Drink, then swallow!
You are one helpful limbless fella.
LCB — there is YNG up thread awaiting your instructions …
Did somebody call for a stiff adult?
You need to lay off that viagra Brewski. It’s been more than 4 hours. Perhaps we should call the doctor.
*the winged kitten flutters down and lands on Leila’s shoulder, purring loudly*
Aaaaaaaaw…Hello there.
*scratches Taya’s head*
Hi! *purrs and snuggles*
♥ a snuglly wuggly kitty!!
*in heaven*
*kneads gently with her front paws*
*scratches Taya right where spine ends and tail begins*
Why can’t all cats be like you?
*raises her rear end to the scratching, still kneading and purring*
This time, you aren’t missing anything.
Oh nightshayde…now BFF is going to run screaming from the room thinking there is a homicidal clown on the blog blocking access to the fail!
“Na ah ah! You didn’t say the magic word!”
“Na ah ah! You didn’t say the magic word!”
-stares-
clicky, so I guess it was really “ah ah ah”
… I like my way better!
Beep beep!
You’re a jeep?
No, but I do float. We all float down here.
I can only assume this has something to do with the book/movie aswell. I never read/watched it(IT) so I wouldn’t get it. Sorry
Possibly the creepiest movie of it’s time. I HIGHLY recommend watching it. For best results, watch it really, really late at night with only one light on- in another room.
I did that once with Alien, never again… never again…
Dayum…now THAT’S a scary movie.
*has never seen that movie in it’s entirety*
Alien? I thought that one is boring. It’s 85% completely dark.
It’s better if you turn the TV on.
*squeeze*
I had! About 15% of the time…
*squeeze*
Alien had better special effects though. The acting in It is awful. Just terrible. The end is silly, I think, but I still love the movie. Read it first though. Just make sure there are new bulbs in any and all applicable lamps.
I did the same thing watching the Exorcist. My friends held me down and made me watch it, because, as one of them said, it “gets funnier every time I watch it.”
Meh.
I saw that when I was 17ish, and laughed through the whole thing. Some movies scare me, others not so much. I didn’t see Poltergeist until I was in my late twenties. I was not prepared for the pool scene.
I’m pretty sure the thunder and lightning in Poltergeist contributed to the RL phobia I developed a few years later. That, and a loved one being in the ICU during a particularly nasty (and rare, in SoCal) thunderstorm.
While I am absolutely terrified of thunderstorms (they have to be really really bad ones though), the storm in the movie didn’t phase me. I was actually about to type “There were storms in that movie?” I had completely forgotten that part.
I live in the midwest, so storms are a VERY common occurrence.
You don’t like thunderstorms?
One of my favorite activities is to sit out on the porch and watch them, usually with a warm beverage. It’s always so peaceful to me to watch the rain and lightning etc.
The best ones knock out the power.
I love to watch lightning. If there’s a thunderstorm in the middle of the night I will get out of bed to watch.
I was in a tornado when I was 5ish. Storms freak me out. I stay in the most sheltered room in the apartment (which form me is out in the hallway) and wait for it to be over.
*reaches up, grabs that extra “m” and tosses it out the window*
“5ish” was intentional? What does that mean? Fish?
I haven’t had the opportunity to see a tornado from up close. About 20 miles away, yes, but hardly worth a mention. All I could see were the clouds.
I hate commotion and people in general, so a thunderstorm is the perfect time for me. No people around, and a calming rain, with the thunder rolling in the distance… *almost falls asleep*
I think she means “about 5 years old… 5-ish”
Yes, Aiki has it right. I tack on an “ish” when I don’t really remember the age or if I’m guessing someone else’s.
Aaaah
aiki, I think it’s kinda strange that the weather condition which is closest to a war makes you fall asleep.
P.T.S.D. Arthur. It helps me sleep.
I guess I never thought of it as close to war. Mostly as washing away the crap from the day. Akin to sitting next to a peaceful brook or downstream of a waterfall.
Painting Toenails Sensually Dark?
Preparing The Shrimp Delicacy
Wasn’t on MySpace until a minute ago. Now I know. Hi! *waves*
*swaps aiki’s and his previous comment*
*waves at Arthur*
Howdy.
So… you surrendered?
I didn’t last long did I?
hehe
*squeeze*
I understand, wiping off certain fluids all day long is annoying. But still, I hope you don’t see that as a permanent solution.
*Still in the dark but has a guess*
I’m thinking of a sequence that starts with BN24.
No, I’m my other self first and foremost. When school starts, she will be me again.
*squeeze*
I thought maybe I’d get lynched doing this but I’ve tried to make it as obvious as possible without putting out an alert. Thanks Arthur.
Phew, I’m pleased you removed the last bit Aiki. Sheesh!
Dunno what I missed today, but at least now it looks like a very peaceful day. Maybe all the banning has an effect?
*crosses fingers*
*knocks on wood*
No worries SpongeBetty.
*grabs a guitar*
Now we are jamming!
Can anyone sing?
*wags a sponge finger at Jules*
Tsk!
*squeezes failfriends*
I hate missing the party.
Me, too! Work was overwhelming today.
*squeezes friends*
actually, the book is better, I reccomend that, but I heard they are making a remake of the movie! should be awesome!
How could anyone hope to do a better Pennywise? The rest of the cast was meh, but Pennywise was brilliant!
I have to go check this out now… I really want to know who’s going to be in it!
I hope you’re not dissing John-Boy. He’ll bring Walton mountain down on your ass.
I am wacky afraid about my kids going near gutters. Ok I am wacky afraid for anyone that is like two feet away from the gutter
Want a balloon?
*catches up to abstract*
Here, take one of these and call me in the morning.
*slows down to catch breath*
You’re the Road Runner?
*is a bird, not that bird*
It was a line from the book/movie.
Oh my gosh thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu dragonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
*Running squeeze*
I couldn’t remember the name of that movie for the life of me. I was attempting to describe it to my friend, and well failed when not remembering the name.
*puts out leg, trips Emp has he nears Dragon*
Exsqueeze me.
*snork*
*yawns* As usual.
Ti sei ricordato che SpongeBetty è adesso? Vuoi un suggerimento?
Who am I talking to here? Where are you Emperor? Do you like have the attention of a circus fly? Come out, come out wherever you are…
He knows. He said so back there.
<—–
Sorry leila I went to work. I am back now though.
LOL – that took me a second. I knew I should have put the punctuation into my post. *sigh*
True story about IT: I was in the middle of reading it when I was in college & working at a campus restaurant. After hours, I was getting ready to put the day’s proceeds into the money bags which were kept in a box in a locked closet. When I opened the closet door, a single yellow balloon came floating toward my face (the balloon string was tied to the inside doorknob – the balloon was wilting, so was only about 5 feet off the ground). I almost had a heart attack.
I’ve never quite looked at clowns, balloons, or drains the same after reading that book.
*snork!*
I mean…that must have been awful for you…
The light burned out at around midnight when I read It the f!rst time. I was around 12 or 13. I sat curled up, holding my knees until dawn, too terrified to sleep.
I would really like to know why the light bulbs only do that when I’m reading something scary. It’s happened to me several times now.
We were staying in B&Bs in England not long after I read the book. One room we were in had a sink with a drain that kept making horrifying gurgling noises. I was hesitant to go anywhere near that sink.
*trembles, just thinking of that gurgling sink*
EEP!
I was reading a different Stephen King story when a draft in my grandparents’ house made the bedroom door right beside my bed swing shut.
I still have to pee thinking about that…
Clown? What clown?! You mean IT?! NOT IT?!?! AAAAH!!!!!!!!
*runs shrieking at top of lungs out of room*
That’s right BFF, let go. Be afraid. You all taste so much better when you’re afraid.
Oh great, I come back from lunch and horror is the subject of the day!
*crawls into bed, hides under covers*
I’ll do the same.
*hides under covers*
*peeks under covers*
If I say I’m scared, can I join?
*jumps in bed with Brewski*
Have you not been to the lower thread talking about premature…
Never mind.
Yes. Guilty.
*takes a cold shower*
*hiding under the covers, grabs someone’s foot hoping to scare the living shit out of everyone in bed in celebration of horror movies*
AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*runs screaming from room*
*runs after Ms B*
Your clothes! You forgot your clothes!!!!
DAMMIT!!!! Not again…
Tell me you got that on tape ZA! Ms. B will have enough footage for her own movie!
Wow. A lot can happen when a fella takes a short nap!
I am taking orders of the movie if you’d like to place yours aiki.
I taped half of it and you are going to make me by one?!
What a rip off… still very worth it. Put me down for 5 DVDs and 2 Blu-Ray.
Got it aiki. Let’s see how we do and maybe I will give you a break in the end.
Where’s my cut?
Your cut is self-satisfaction for a job well done. You put your heart and soul in the project afterall.
*yelps and kicks wildly*
*looks under covers*
Oh, it was you, ZA. Sorry ’bout that.
I would think that would make you scream and run out of this room?
*does an amazing Homer Simpson impersonation*
Mmmmm, frightened living braaaaiiiiiinnnsssss!!!!!
*salivates, or maybe just leaks some decomposed matter*
Reading your posts sends me through a myriad of emotions:
HA-EWWW-HA-HA-EWWW-EWWW…
.
or
Homicidal Clown????? But, Nightshade is a pretty kittey with a beautiful spring bonnet!!!
DW means IT, the horror novel by Stephen King, which features said clown.
*snerk*
It was my fault, elsa_mama. I was referring to the I.T. department, but without punctuation, it looked like I was referring to Stephen King’s book, IT. There’s a homicidal clown in the book — very scary book, but a tremendously fun read (as long as you’re not 12 or 13 & dealing with a burned-out lightbule, or 19-20 and dealing with a possessed balloon aiming for your face).
Give him the chair! The chair!!!
Since when did we start inflicting corporal punishment?
*dons black leather outfit*
*cracks whip*
When did we stop?
Once you pop, you can’t stop.
I bet the manager lay the smack down on him backstage.
Uh oh … *waits for eminent doom*
Goodness…you have an important doom planned for yourself?
*sits down and gets comfy to watch*
*pulls up cooler with beverages*
*pulls out unpopped popcorn*
Um… Dragon can you do the honors of popping it?
I thought I broke a pun-run. No?
so you were waiting for immanent doom …
…which should be along imminently.
I always thought that kind of doom was immensely overrated.
-stares-
BEHOLD!!!!!
*Ignores ^ IMMINENT DOOM and learns how to spell emminent*
I M E … Sh*t!!! E M M … crap!!!! I M M I N E N T – imminent.
No just having fun with whips and leather.
*hands over his chair* Have a seat ma’am.
Never confuse that with stool!
Arthur!
.
Emperor should have a seat while he checks his email.
I bought ringsides though.
Arthur, you haven’t been around much today. What gives? Too much scrubbing yesterday? If so, I am sorry.
I think he’s just embarrassed that several of us were able to read his skeezy German pickup line!
To be fair I did ask him to post it. I just didn’t realize that so many others would be able to read it. Though the thought of the translator never occurred to me there.
I must have fallen asleep during that exchange.
The boys here are naughty!
So naughty that it causes narcolepsia?
Leila, I enjoyed the scrubbing.
Although many have seen me nude…
Oh and aiki, I thought translators would mess up the translation so that no one gets it. But apparently translators are better than I thought and more people than I thought were able to understand it, translator or no.
Ms B! It’s the naughty-ness that makes them so fun! Aiki & Brewski have been especially entertaining in the naughty department.
.
*wonderful fun unclean thoughts*
Always at your beck and call, Velvet.
Arthur, I was surprised too. Anytime I have used a translator in the past I have always gotten the context of the word wrong so I swore them off. guess I should revisit the translators and see what they can do now.
*grabs Aiki and tosses him in the convertible*
.
The rain finally stopped! We can put the top down this time!
.
*zooms off*
*looks around*
*blinks*
Where’d everybody go?
Wheeeee!
aiki and I are naughty?
What about Arthur, shagging, torturing and eating cute animals? What about granny? What about Jules?
Heck, I think we’re pretty tame! Right, aiki?
I do not know of any two people more tame than you and me.
I think that they are trying to pin it on us when they are the culprits.
You guys are confusing naughty with bad. You’re not bad. You’re naughty. There’s a difference.
In fact, naughtiness is the exact opposite of bad.
Naughty enough that it needs a spanking!
Here…use this. *hands Ms B a leather covered paddle from dungeon*
*sneaks away*
Oh Arthur…I was going to apologize for the bad touch yesterday while scrubb…
Oh well, he ran off.
Wha-? Where’d he go? He was just here a second ago…
He “moved out of the way”….
*snork*
That announcer is probably going “WTF! That wasn’t supposed to happen like that. See, right here Bob it says…”
Didn’t his mother tell him to always “look before you leap?”
Looks like he took a dive.
He did! A minute or so earlier.
How rude of him not to just stand there and wait to be clobbered!
Usually they do…
Okay, time for me to admit that I have never actually watched wrestling nor seen a wrestling match. I’m completely clueless when it comes to the ins and outs of the wrestling world.
Muscles, lots of shouting and some fancy dancing.
My take on it anyway!
I have unfortunately been subjected to my fair share. The hubby used to watch it, and we lived in this tiny apartment when we first got married. There was no way to escape it! I would lock myself in the bedroom and try to read, but the tv was just outside the door so it didn’t do much good. Thankfully he gave it up eventually. Now he just watches UFC…
Eeep! I think I’d rather watch people pretending to beat the heck out of each other (only really hurting people by accident) than people actually beating the heck out of each other.
*whispers to Dragonwriter*
I used to watch wrestling when my husband and I first started dating — and probably for at least a year after we got married. We used to joke that the weekly shows are soap operas for straight males. The acting is atrocious, the storylines are mostly absurd, and they’re actually fun to watch if you’re not trying to take them seriously.
Please don’t tell anyone I watched.
Soap operas for men! That’s what my hubby calls it!
I have women in my immediate family who watched that sh*it for years!!! What’s worse, they totally believe it was real.
Disclaimer: I hate pro wrestling. But, I do respect them as atheletes. Even if it isn’t totally “real”, what they do can be very painful and requires great athleticism.
And lots of steroids…
*athletes* ^^^
Agreed. I’m amazed that the people I was watching in the late 90′s are still wrestling now. Their bodies take an incredible amount of abuse.
I was wondering for years now: Are the matches completely planned, or do the wrestlers only know who should win and the rest is improvisation? Does anybody know?
The results are predetermined, and I’m pretty sure the matches themselves are loosely choreographed. Still — the wrestlers are flinging themselves all around the ring (and sometimes outside the ring), bouncing off ropes, taking flying leaps off the ropes, crash-landing, smacking each other with various implements, etc… It’s not something I think the “average” person can do convincingly.
I like to watch.
- Chauncy Gardener
(Bonus 10,000 internets to anybody who knows this reference)
I am going to have to go with a Being There reference, but I thought it was Chance.
*ding ding ding*
You get a double bonus of 20,000 internets for catching my mistake!! I thought the President called him “Chauncey” because he misunderstood “Chance The Gardener” as “Chauncey Gardner”. But what do I know!
I looked it up just now. We were both right. It is Chance the Gardner a.k.a Chauncey Gardener according to IMDB.
*Hands back 15,000 for false correction*
If that’s what you want, then I want it too.
Go rent The Wrestler. I can’t stand wrestling, but I like that movie. Very well done. It’s really a human story, and an interesting one. Mickey Rourke was outstanding. I could feel the pain in his joints when he walked.
No. I don’t wanna.
*back to SW mode*
I don’t need any phuqing movie to make me feel pain in my joints. Rigor mortis sucks donkey.
What’s a rotten joint like that doing in a nice zombie like you?
apparently, getting stiff.
Try not to look directly at it.
Are you hitting on him?
*hears a distant “splut!” noise*
Yup. Sounds like.
*snork*
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well, lcb.
*hands some decongestants and painkillers*
I liked the Butch Cassidy moment.
Even if the other guy hadn’t moved, what made him think he could leap that far?
Ya thinks maybe perhaps possibly that this match was “scripted”?
LIES!!!!
THE CAKES ARE
The chocolate ones aren’t.
Chocolate cakes are REAL, but they constantly lie to us!
Always telling us, “Eat Me! I have NO Calories! Eat Me!”
I say that too, but it’s mostly true.
But, the true question herein is do you ever get taken up on your “request,” (by non-zombies that is)?
No! Do you think it’s the way I ask? Maybe I should say, “Please?” Maybe I should ask for a grilled-cheese sandwich?
*snerk* Pretty sure that would have no calories for YOU.
An untimely and likely irrelavent snippet of information: The average “grilled-cheese sandwich” has approximately four calories. Most of which are from sugar.
Spitting out facts, eh?
That’s a bit hard to swallow, though.
Let’s just duck the issue.
(*smooch again*)
*snorkroffle*
It’s the way you old guys just creep out the young girls when you ask; without hundreds of dollars leaking from your pockets, the best you can expect is not to be beaten severely or hauled away and jailed for the good of society. And you might get luckier if you ask the right girl for that grilled-cheese sandwich and receive more than you bargained for.
A pickle?
Amber, in case you didn’t get it, this is all in jest. Relax.
*pat pat*
its ok old Brewski, I know
*relaxes in Brewski lap*
Ya know, I never will understand women…
Whoa, Brewski! How do you do that??? You make it look easy.
I don’t even know what I did!!!
What just happened? Where am I?
You just told a girl to chill out (a lot more friendly though) and she relaxes in your lap. I call that skills.
Brewski, you men aren’t all that easy to understand either!
How’s that Avis?
(Asking in genuine curiosity)
All the women I know say that we are very easy to figure out.
Perhaps I should have said that NO one group is easy to figure out. I will never understand the male need to constantly “adjust” themselves in public.
*snork*
I’m with Avis on this one.
Maybe they don’t want us to forget that they have something there.
Hm, you may have something there.
Lol… I will give you that no group is easy. As for the second part, we adjust ourselves because it is near impossible to hide, and without adjusting a few items might get crushed causing a bit of discomfort.
Parents of young boys have said that they (the young boys) are always “adjusting” and that they seem to reassuring themselves that it is still there.
*inserts a “be” between to and reassuring*
A friend of mine’s son was “reassuring” himself in the ultrasound they did while she was still pregnant. Her husband said, “That’s my boy!”
Ah. I can’t say anything on that. It doesn’t sound like a stretch at all. I know that I didn’t have that problem (at least none that people told me) when I was younger. Though I can remember a time or two when I had to adjust myself (not saying when) to make certain “natural reactions” not seem so visible.
*snork*
In the womb even!!!
I think it is amazing that they ever let go of it in the first place
Well, then *someone* forgot their line, didn’t they…
The director hired this guy on a leap of faith.
The guy ended up falling for his opponent.
I think you’re jumping to conclusions there…
Don’t fly off the handle.
*flips out*
He flew in outta nowhere.
…but he must have landed somewhere.
Maybe it was a gravity assist?
Maybe it’s Maybelline?
Err, is that the make-up or the shampoo?
*thinks about it long and hard*
Yes!
Leile, you’re not thinking about long and hard,
you’re wishing for it…
I can see it in your wistful expression

OW!
BFF, please go back to just using BondFan####, please?
Thank You, Mr. Skwerlly Bob (preferring but not insisting on everyone using their original short names rather that the long expanded ones recently adopted by some persons, [you know who you are])
Yes, yes, agreed.
Excuse me Mr. Brewski, bored engineer, occasionally pantsless, beer aficionado, former discus thrower, music lover, and generally laid-back kinda guy, but did you just say to Mr. Skwerlly Bob (preferring but not insisting on everyone using their original short names rather that the long expanded ones recently adopted by some persons, [you know who you are]) of FailBOG Co., Inc. and various other endeavors that you would also like it if a ♂ MP of the 3rd Witty Comments Countering Trolls Division, Earl of Huntingdon-on-Thames/BFF News reporter/The Speaker of the House to shorten his extremely long name back to BondFan4518?
Boggy! You’ve been taking language lessons! Very impressive!
*gives Boggy a gold star*
Fine, I’ll shorten it by two titles. How’s this?
Nope!
SHORTER!Very well! What about this?
Hmmm, YES!
Unique, different, easily recognizable and yet still says “YOU”
Very nice choice!
Ooh, fabulous!
*limps wrist*
Although…… “BFF” is shorter or maybe just “45″?
Don’t do it BFF!!! Let your name fly as long as you like!
I shall, Ms B!
My new “name” shall be the symbol “⌂”
[sarcasm] THANKS Ms B ♥ [/sarcasm]
*sigh*
Oh, alright. How’s this for a name?
My pleasure!
*bats eyes innocently*
Great

⌂ does not care anymore
⌂ is beyond mere words, letters and numbers
⌂ ignores petty attempts at being noticed
⌂ is aloof, self centered and uncaring now
*cough*HaveyoulookedatyourURIlately?*cough*
Well, while’s he gone…
*flicks the “‘s” to end of “he” before anyone notices*

Oop, SB’s back. Better change my name.

His pre-emptive getting out the way is pretty impressive
Oh I see! It was a tag team match with the Invisable man.

Well, to be fair, you need 4 players for a tag team match.

You haven’t needed any cochin, so I think you’ve been one of us all along.
Some use failer. I like failblogger. Feel free to invent your own words…you never know when a new meme will take flight.
I actually prefer “failblogger.” “Failer” sounds too much like an insult one would use outside of the blogosphere.
Oh carp.
*kicks herself in the drumstick for messing up the pun run*
(yes – the misspelling was intentional)
There’s a fine for messing up a pun-run!
I’ll put it on your bill.
Don’t worry nighty, I won’t finch on you, but Robin probably will, if only on a lark.
This blog has painfully illustrated my dependence on spell-check.
How many of the words in the above comment did you have to “google check”
Google check? Please tell me there is a way to check these posts without having to cut and paste them to another program. My computer here at work is so slow that I gave up checking my spelling in Word. By the time I had checked my spelling, there were always five or six new posts.
I don’t check my entire post, my spelling is atrocious(google checked) so on words that I can’t spell, I type or paste into the google home page and presto! , it gives the correct spelling. (As long as you’re close anyway)
I usually use dictionary.com … just not today
I use firefox. It spell checks the comment box.
Yep, that would require opening up another browser or leaving FB to go to Google. Both options are incredibly slow on this stupid computer. I guess I’ll just have to fly blind like our wrestling friend and land on my face every now and again.
I wouldn’t worry about it too much. There are much worse spellers than yourself on here.
If you land on a trampoline, you can bounce back. ;X
Yet another benefit of lolspeak. Nobody knows if you mess up your spelling.
What browser do you use? Safari has a feature under “View” that will check spelling as you type. And will attempt to help you if you click on “spelling”, also under “View”.

Wrestling is overrated. All fake imo.
LIES!!!
When we want your opinion we will give it to you.
Welcome to Failblog.
Its putdowns like this that bring the trolls out.
crazy ass sport….
I feel the urge to mention this…
Someone called me while I was at lunch and left a 6:33 minute message of their hold music? What was their hold music? A slowed down piano solo of “God Bless America” with all three verses. Did they answer? No. All I heard, after that wasted time, was someone pick up the phone, drop the f-bomb about me, and hung up. I think I made a new friend.
Also, wrestling is stupid.
Why?… What? I don’t….
*is trying to wrap brain around why someone would DO that*
*is failing*
*rofl*
*puts Malicite on speed dial*
*dials # and walks away to meeting*
*answers phone and starts to cry*
There, there, Mal. I’ll cheer you up with a nice slow call of the Greek national anthem with the verses – all 158 of them.
Periodically, some doofus who can’t figure out the phone system somehow pages the entire company with hold music. For a minute straight. “Thank you for holding!”
Where I worked, most people could never understand the difference between ‘reply’ and ‘reply to all’. So when an email goes to a whole distribution list asking a question, everyone gets everyone else’s reply.
Then you get a million emails saying “please use reply instead of reply to all”. One guy even sent out a “You’re all douchebags if you can’t tell the difference!”. He got a ticking off.
I was just grumbling about this yesterday! There was potluck (in which I was not participating) — the “reply to all” messages were coming fast and furious about who was bringing what & when things should be set up…
I was soooo close to screaming!
I found the best thing to do was close down Outlook and check it once every hour or so for something useful.
I don’t seem to have that issue at my company, but your manager should initiate a fine for replying to all. Put all the money in a pot and buy the office donuts.
They made me redundant last month; let the bosses all suffer through it I say.
Ah, crap. I’m sorry, my ex-pectin’ friend.
*squeeze*
Sorry to hear they knifed you in the back like that my friend.
*squeezes SpongeBetty and Dragon*
I guess I did actually make the cut this time.
*squeezes Dragon and the Admiral*
The problem is, or rather one of the problems, for there are many, a sizeable proportion of which are continually clogging up the civil, commercial, and criminal courts in all areas of the world, and especially, where possible, the more corrupt ones, this.
The previous sentence makes sense. That is not the problem.
This is:
Idiots.
Read it through again and you’ll get it.
I’m not certain that even a fine will stop them.
(And yes a excerpt of this is adapted from Douglas Adams)
Yes, but at least you get donuts out of it.
Mmmmm…donuts…..
I am seriously starving! Lunch today was just too small
A married coworker of mine was having an affair with a divorcee coworker. He emailed her a love letter, and accidentally sent it to the entire company! He was ready to crawl in a hole and die. He sent out a letter of apology.
*roffles*
‘Embarrassed’ doesn’t even begin to cover that!
Teaches him for screwing around. Karma.
He divorced his wife, and they ended up marrying each other. So I guess it ended happily for everybody but his ex-wife. She was a sweetheart, we once went on a double date. I felt sorry for her, she was trying to save the relationship.
That really sucks. Makes me think that guy is a jerk.
I didn’t know either one all that well, so I’m not going to pass judgement. They obviously had lost the spark though. I didn’t know about the affair when we went out together. But afterwards, everything became a lot clearer!
Reminds me of two philosophies:
1. Never put in writing what you don’t intend for everyone to see.
2. He with the most documentation wins.
Two more philosophies:
1) Keep it in your pants.
2) Don’t put it where it doesn’t belong.

Quitting smoking has made me touchy :/
But we’re behind you 100%!
Here, have a joint. It’ll help take your mind off the nicotine cravings.
A friend of mine actually quitted smoking like that.
Arthur, I was about to suggest proper usage would be “quit”, not “quitted”. But “quitted” is a word, according to the dictionary. Where’s Dragon?? When do you use “quitted” instead of “quit”?
Thats quibage like in Harry Potter LOL
Actually, that’s “Quidditch.” But good try.
I think “quitted” is like “left” as in the past tense of “leave”.
Indeed, you are correct.
“She quitted the theatre once the play was over.”
“She quit smoking.”
Ta-da!
You may have quitted the theater, but you’ll never quit smokin’.

Isn’t that somewhat undoable?
It is if Mr. T does it.
If Michael Tyson giggled, I’m sure as hell not going to tell him it isn’t masculine.
If Mike Tyson giggled…I would too…
Point well taken.
“Mike, that was kinda girlie!” would be your last words.
You could pretend you were Little Mac…except a squirrel.
Fyi Bob: Your name erased the word squirrel from my internal dictionary. Thanks spell check!
Malicite, send them a bill!!!
Or send them flowers!!!
Wrestling ALWAYS fails.
Wrestling is so fake and lame anyway
Hey FAIL,
Your ads on the right were a FAIL today. The stupid Benadryl ad on right column popped open and would NOT close, obscuring part of the main column.
Pls see about getting this fixed.
Thanks,

*ahem* Please use the “contact us” link to voice complaints of that nature. That is, if you want anything to be done about it. Telling us here, does only that. Tells US. You want to go tell THEM. The “contact us” link is the most effective way to do so. I am not trying to be b!tchy, I am actually trying to help.
Shi*t!! How did I miss the Benadryl ad? My sinuses are acting badly today.

Hi nightshayde, hi skwirrl! Hey, why is there a corpse on the floor? Did ZA invite over friends?
She’s not quite dead.
Oh — and shhhhh. I don’t want ZA to get hungry & have to leave, unsatisfied.
*mental notes as she is passed out (1) contact lawyer to sue nighshayde for supplying an already drunk Leila with more booze and drugs and (2) find out…ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz … better say something before they bury me alive*

Omg…how weird. I’m in the process of writing an academic book on landscape and Shakespeare, and I’m right now writing the chapter on graveyards and cemeteries. So I’ve spent all afternoon writing about death and corpses and graves and bones, and I come here to find…MORE DEATH! Wheeeeeeeeeee!
*checks bottle*
Dammit, Leila drank all the wine!
Here ya go. It’s a Quilceda Creek Cabernet, 2001 vintage. Very rare and outstanding!
Yumyumyumyumyum!

Hmmm…a good nose. Piquant, yet slightly flaccid.
*pours a glass for himself*
*swirls, sniffs deeply*
*takes mouthful, waits, swallows*
Mmmm… Saucy, yet not impertinent!
(Quilceda’s wines are among the only Cabernets on the planet to score 100 point ratings, but they are now impossible to get cause word is out)
Boy, don’t I sound snobby up there!!
*grabs bottle of Mad Dog, takes a swig*
Aaahh!!
Mr. Brewski you should do your research on wine testing and rating systems. One wine in one mouth tastes different in an others mouth. New system is percentage of wine drinkers who like the wine instead of so called experts who are defending their own vine-ages. I hope I didn’t offend you.
I think that Brewski is referring to the point system used by the testers. They rate it, based on their tastes, on a scale. Obviously the better the wine rates per person, the higher the scores. Once the scores are taken they are averaged together in these catagories:
appearance
aroma
sensations
finish (aftertaste)
This is further enhanced by similar comparison. Testers will test wines of similar price, region, type etc so that it is less of a personal taste and more analytical. More often then not the wine is tested in two variations:
different vintages of the same wine type, from the same winery
Same vintages and type of different wineries.
Hopes this clears some confusion.
And it should be noted that the testers are independent of the Wineries.
Very true and important. Also interestingly, the testers aren’t allowed to see the bottle at all and sometimes not the cork so the can’t tell what winery it came from. On blind tests like this, the wine might be served in a colored glass (usually black, though I have seen brown, red, and blue before) to mask the wine further. Afterward they are given the selection of wines in a clear glass in a random order to rate the color.
Yes Mr Brewski and you shall be the Wine master since you have the most experience. So teach me something about wine ?
Brewski swallowed the wine!
Real tasters just spit it out.
Seriously.
Dragon is correct, but I’m not a professional wine taster. If you don’t drink it, what fun is that? And I’m not an expert. Look elsewhere. But I do appreciate a good wine.
Aiki pretty much already said it, but the rating scale I was referring to was Wine Spectator, or Robert Parker (Wine Advocate). Wine Specatator tends to be a tad more stingy than Robert Parker, but they both have basically the same method. But really, whatever tastes good to you is what’s important, numbers are kinda meaningless.
I like opening two bottles of wine of the same varietal and drinking them side-by-side. I try to isolate variables as best I can in order to compare, price, region, vintage…it’s very enlightening! I’ve even conducted my own double-blind experiments with other wine-loving friends.
Hee…I drink it too, Brewski. That’s why I didn’t think you didn’t sound snobby. You drank the wine!
And I didn’t realize you were a two-handed drinker, Admiral! Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course…
Probably nobody will see this post, but the wine experts aren’t as subjective as you guys suggest. They rate against a standard definition of a certain style and appellation. Beer tasting is the same way. It makes no difference if the taster likes it or hates it. He is rating how well the beer executes the specific requirements of the style. That means it is difficult to judge “creative” beers that do not adhere to a specific style.

Sorry I am going to the Star Wars party that night.
did he died?
275th!!!
i thought that the fail was the move before the cross body. they play by play announcer called it a head lock take down, but it was a hip toss. im not a smart mark… just a wrestler who knows things
Owned.
Whatever he had left is laying in that ring…
What a lot of people dont know is that this was the altternate ending for Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler.
*removes t*
I was afraid they were going to do a cheesy Hollywood ending, like they did in “Rambo: First Blood”. Rambo should have died, people! That’s what happened in the book! But people found it too much of a “downer”, so they changed the ending to Rambo being arrested. More sequels that way too, unless you do a zombie Rambo movie.
Same issue with the dodgeball movie. Vince Vaughan was supposed to lose. The test audience didn’t like that ending. So they changed it.
but! it was soo real until the guy missed the other guy by a mile and got face farked!
LOL you too? Man I really fell for it .
this is stupid… its fake and acted
Thank you for apologizing for your post. Not everyone is that honest.
Not even sure how one goes about faking and acting out a post on Failblog.
i assume this means that all wrestling is a failure
All wrestling? Mais non , or why would there be a school like the one in Colorado that teaches alligator wrestling? (click)
*considers removing the extra space before the comma, then realizes this is pretty anal*

Aaaaugh! Stop saying the word!
“If an alligator gets you in his jaws, try to keep his mouth clamped shut so that it cannot shake you or roll over.”
Definately falls under the advice that is easier to give category.
Another Failblog Fail.
And so, a win– since well Fail Blog is suppose to be a Fail …
I have realized that I’m FAR too easily distracted.
Playing online is so much more pleasant than doing actual work. *sigh*
so…get back to work; make the kittehz some cheezburgers, already.
*narrows her eyes at the plant*
*gets back to work*
How soon will you have tomatoes, nightshayde?
*knows they are in the same family*
We actually had a super teeny-tiny one this morning! I think two of the tomato plants are actually cherry tomato plants — and one gave us an absolutely delicious 1/2 inch ripe tomato.
In Texas you get about 2 weeks out of the year where the maters are worth a sh*t. Damn I hate this state.
We have ours growing in Topsy Turvy planters — the planters really seem to work very well.
Our soil is absolutely useless for growing anything. It’s way too hard & seems quite poor in nutrients. That, plus it doesn’t tend to rain in SoCal in any months other than December, January, and February. Potted things do much better in our “garden.”
Ahhhhh, I’ve been wanting to try that thing. Nice! I’m off to bed, see ya later!
Sleep well!
I asked a few questions about your topsy-turvy planter last night (or was it two nights ago), but you left as soon as I posted.
How often do you have to refill the container with water? What keeps the water from dripping out the bottom?
There’s quite a lot of potting soil in them. Mom has been the one taking care of them, so I’m not quite an expert. I believe she’s watering them daily, but not drenching them. I believe any excess water would just drip along the plants & onto the ground — so I guess nothing would stop the water from dripping out.
It’s really amazing how big the plants are getting & how quickly they’re growing. They’re hanging from the sturdy wooden swingset we have in the back yard, but I think we’re going to have to figure out how to get them higher off the ground very soon.
I think that’s my problem with the setup…with tomatoes, there’s no such thing as excess water.
By my estimates, the thing should weigh around 40 lbs wet, so don’t hurt yourself working over your head.
The top end of the planters right now is about shoulder-height, I think. I don’t think they’re 40lbs yet — otherwise, I’m pretty sure Mom wouldn’t have been able to move them around as easily as she has been. We’ll get my husband involved if heavy lifting is required, methinks.
Then again, I can lug the child around (with some effort) when she’s sleeping & she’s got to be pushing 40lbs now.
I can see it now: “Woman injured in freak tomato plant accident – Film at Eleven!”
*wishes she could have some of the tomato tart nightshayde is bound to make*
I’m not sure we’ll have enough home-grown tomatoes at any one time to make it — but make it, I will!
I’m out of here for tonight. See you all tomorrow!
*is looking forward to the cuddle puddle*
Tomatoes and potatoes are closely related…just sayin.
‘Night, night.
Hee…!
G’night-shayde!
Ok, lets try blogging when I’m not at work…
Yeah, definitely not the same, definitely not…yeah.

It’s more fun when you’re breaking some sort of rule to be here. Not that the people here aren’t great fun — just that the added naughtiness (for lack of a better word) adds to the spice.
*agrees*
That and you don’t get interrupted by the kiddos.
Both online and offline.
Hiya Ms B.
We managed to keep the kiddos online away today I noticed. Kind of a nice change of pace from the rest of the week.
Come to think of it, I think ICHC was pretty troll-free today.
Hi, Ms B. I hope you’re no longer starving!
Oh thanks! I managed a big plate of spaghetti when I got home. I feel much better.
It’s about as much ‘fail’, as any spot in which one guy misses the other. I guess the ‘genius’ that came up with that “FAIL” never saw a wrestling match in his life. In short – Failblog Fail.
*doesn’t miss Joey*
Oh no! hours of practicing flawlessly choreographed moves ruined!
I suppose that if you’re going to ruin the choreography, it’s better to do so by not landing on someone when you’re supposed to rather than landing on someone when you’re not supposed to.
*wonders if that made sense to anyone else*
Makes purrfect sense!
FAIL blog fails by posting this at all…
“pro” wrestling in general is a fail
Well hey!! Then its a double fail!! FAIL for bein Pro Wrestling anf FAIL for the face splat!! Thanks for pointing that out …
Indeed! Heaven forfend we have actual fails on failblog!
So, going to Failblog to look at a fail and posting that Failblog failed by posting said fail isn’t a itself a fail?? I’m confused.
^ “in itself…”
and they DARE say the fights are rehearsed….. tsc tsc tsc
First
Negative.
**Raises hand while blinking rapidly and hyperventilating at the thought of partaking in such inspiring wit and grammatical skill as is ever-present in the posts of regular failbloggers…**
Hello, my name is Chanidividus, long-time lurker, f!rst time poster… Is this allowed? I think I’m in a different time zone than everyone else… Ah, the thought of posting to an uninhabited comment page. The horror! The embarrassment! Such is life.
Welcome, Chanidividus. I think I’m in charge of off-peak greetings this evening.
*chuckle*
I’m here, too. Nice to see you, Chanidividus.
You have your own timezone? That’s impressive.
Good, er, morning I guess.
We’re captive on the carousel of time.
*squeeze*
the comments on this blog are always weird. just sayin.
You’re listening to W.A.N.T.
The High Desert, Wander Valley favorite radio station.

Did I just hear the annoucer call one of those guys Sea-man, cause that would just be icing on the fake…I mean cake
It’s Z-Men, you idiot.
It’s Z-Man, you idiot.
Just the still of american wrestling was enough to fail!
Well, wrestling is all planned and rehearsed so that was probably supposed to happen.
uh that happens all the time yeah that’s not a fail…
failblog has been letting these NONfails through a lot lately. disappointing
first
Um… it’s wrestling… it’s supposed to be fake… if THAT’s a fail than EVERY wrestling match in history is a fail.
Every wrestling match in history… they’re ALL fails? A revolutionary concept indeed!

BTW.
I agree … Gravity WIN!
Wrestling kinda sucks though….
All fake … ^^

Um, how is this a fail? It’s a called spot. That was supposed to happen. Now if you want real wrestling fails go to wrestlinggonewrong.com.
“That’s not how the choreography was, Jacob, you SOB!”
dude, he wasn’t even close!
Name WIN “C-man”
so, nobody noticed at the end when he says “catches C-Man whith his right hand”????
don’t take this guy skydiving
There are several dozen “Botchamania” clips available on YT that are packed with hundreds of blown spots each- and that one probably wouldn’t even make the cut.
Not actually funny.
Wrestling isn’t fake. It’s just scripted. It was the other guy’s fault that the move was botched cuz Z-Man was counting on him to be there.
did he die?
I like how a video on wrestling turned into a heated Chuck Norris V Bruce Lee debate…thats a fail in an of itself
hahahahahahahahah!!!!!! that was beautiful!!!!!

wrestling IS a failure.
