gosh that must be worth a fortune D:
the two shelves had a fight, guess who won
Everywine for himshelf!
*licks the floor*
*slashes his tounge with a broken glass*
FAIL
Did u die?
Did anyone notice the ads for refrigerated wine racks next to this fail?.. I am noticing a trend…
u want by refigerated whine rack?
NOO MY PRECIOUS GOO
That will give the manager something to wine about!
impressive :O
nice!
LOL
Elliot Ness win
Erm, because broken glass is “Untouchable”?
Hmm… A puzzle.
Gimme a hint. How many letters?
don’t worry he is just being an Elsie and speaking Chitty Chitty!
Que?
Elsie?
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?
Dick Van Dyke? Elliot Ness? Robert Stack?
I’m getting a headache.
(Ah, I’ve got it now. Only took me two hours.)
hes the one who sings “Walking on Broken Glass” right?
Nicely done.
… well, it …WAS…
*heavysigh*
I wonder what really happened. You would expect a large pool of wine on the floor, but there isn’t. Maybe the floor is made from rubber? That would seem like a sensible choice for a wine cellar.
*Ahem*
1.) wet dry vac
2.) bottle return bin
3.) 50% off out of stock and rare “mixed” vintages!
=)
*wine geek alert
It’s the whites that have fallen you can tell by the shape of the bottles- most arent broken though.
*sigh
Yes, it’s white wine… That’s why it doesn’t look like quite as much wine on the floor….
Let’s declare an official day of mourning….
It’s already a day of mourning… =(
ummmm – ‘wine geek’?!?!?
Whites and reds come in the same shape of bottle… that tells you nothing except perhaps the region, since Bordeaux and Burgundy use one distinct bottle shape for all their product.
The big puddle of red wine in the upper left corner? THAT tells you what fell.
The floor IS wet.
The FLOOR is wet.
The floor is WET.
the door’s a VET?
This is NOT a door.
(but wine takes me to my happy place- it must be)
Where do broken wines take you to, oh great Wine Geek?
The world of depression.
It’s ajar!
this happened because the welder of the wine rack was the one from the previous fail
THE floor is wet.
Even if it is made of rubber, maybe the bottles wouldn’t do so well against the weight of the shelf collapsing.
You dont see the pool of red wine on the left corner ?? and if it white wine u would mostly just see wetness on the floor
Well you can see a large pool of wine in the upper left, i would say the floor isnt level, might be a drain to, but looking at the bottles as well maybe half are broken fully.
*Alcohol abuse*
But wait…where’s the spilled wine that should be saturating the floor?
I bet the Hobos want to lick that floor!
I bet that dwarfy little frenchman sarkozy is already drooling like a dog in front of a sausage factory, n’est-ce pas?
Exactly. Because the French president doesn’t have access to the finest wines on this planet, right?
A.E can you explain to me what all the wine names mean eg: bordeauxing ,shiraz,Pinot (grigio), etc.
Aren’t gringos white???
gRingo Starr is.
Although you asked A.E., 5, I’ll try to answer. The different types of wine are usually classified or grouped together, by the type of grape(s) which are used to make them. (Not too savvy here, but I’m pretty sure that’s the answer you’re looking for. If not, just ignore this comment.
)
All these are different types of grapes from which different types of wines are made. But I’m not an expert on wines, so that’s about all I know.
Jinx! Erm, I meant *squeeze* (Morgen, AE!)
Hehehe! More than 30 minutes and then we post on the exact same time! Afternoon Foop!
When it comes down to wine, there is no good and bad, neither a little spilling nor serious use of antifreeze will prevent a real Francois from risking his health at pretending to be an all-star sommelier! an nowe bowe down ta de gredesd nacion de l’histoire!
Sarkozy is a famous teetotaler, trying to get the French to quit their drinking. So, maybe he rigged the shelf, but he sure wouldn’t drink the booze.
Not if there Hobo Wine Snobs! ‘Dammit Cletus, the damn vino’s CORKED!!’
bordeaux wine is named so because its grapes came from bordeaux, france. dunno about the others, but i think they are named for similar reasons.
I like looking at all the pretty bottles and the funny names. I don’t think I could drink something from a bottle labeled Fat Bastard though.
(Ha ha they use FB too)
Quick, get a straw!
DAMN YOU LOUSY RACK MAKERS!!!
lol
Seeing that hurts me :/
Arh, think of the people who has to clean it… although i find it hilarious
You’ve got to have some “bottle” to ask someone to clean that up..
I hope no one w(h)ines about the mess.
Awww, Sidhe, you always cracker me up with those cheesy repostes! *giggle*
(Hiya! *squeeze*)
*makes toastie with the cheese*
*cheshire grin*
I guess I cheddar quit while I’m a head.
*squeeze*
wen(sleydale) will that be?
Naww, seriously ~ people (r)edam and weep. You’re gouda(t) it!
stinking bishops I give up!
Give up? Briepare to die!
*climbs roque(forte) face to escape*
*makes camp at the foot of the cliffs*
I may not be a climber but you know what they say: “Olur can out-cambozola-nytime.”
Aha you will Borsin!
Are you threatening to turn Olur into debrie?
No, I’m hiding, as I camenbert it!
Nah, let’s not fight. Let’s practice generosity and chèvre.
Cheez, guys, what a munster-rous thing to happen!!
ACK! *makes the arduous climb up to my first comment in this thread* *clutches desperately at thst first stupid ‘e’ in ripostes* *snags it, shredding it* *drags the dregs away* *tosses an ‘i’ up and hope it lands where it ought* *falls all the way down to “Go to Top”*
ouch
btw, where is this?
In my second cousin’s mother-in-law’s brother’s son’s basement.
No, really.
reckon they would mind a basement lodger….I would clear up the mess, promise.
At first I thought it was a Safeway in Tucson, AZ, but I compared this with my photos of that (car drove thru concrete block wall with much the same effect a few months ago) but this photo has a different floor.
By the looks of the floor, and all the green tags on the rack still standing, it looks like the liquor department of a Hy-Vee store…I used to work in one.
sad to see this :<
Not if your a Methodist!….Or a wine grower.
Damn Gortex…
Earthquake? Or perhaps a cats loud purrunderring heoy caused it to topple.
It must have make quite a racket when it fell.
Tennis?
WHAT?? I can’t hear you since my wine rack fell over… eh?
(gave ya a squeeze ^^ up there…)
(hi k@ *squeezie for you*)
sorry- *glasseye* can’t see either
*squeeze*
Morning swell foop. I hope you are well today? Because no sense in wineing about it.
Hi 5! (I’ve) Been better. Been worse.
But I hope you are doing well! Because it’s always nice to see you.
Oh, and you’re right! Today, I cheese not to wine about anything.
If a wine rack falls in the liquor store and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a racket?
It sure does!
a protection racket?
I’d have a wine cellar like that but I’m in the wrong income racket.
me either- I live on noodles from a racket!
Perhaps you can make some money on the side running a racketeering scam.
What a corker ,I am not wineing but that’s going to be a lot of work cleaning up.
Well I will go down to the cellar and get the broom.
*yawn*
This is bordeauxing, I’m off for another port…
shiraz a mess!
What a zinfandel move for someone to make too, SO immature.
*tsktsk*
a right Pinot (grigio) in the arse!
Medoc!
That was a Merlot blow!
*hails a cab(ernet)*
Shame… Broken Bartles (and James) everywhere…
Terrible, let’s have a drink to shiraz up!
Char(donnay) will!
twenty W00T!
That’s alcohol abuse.
That idea should not be shelved. Pour it on deejintor.
*puts down baseball bat*
sowwy!
Hahaha! It’s so S.A.D.D.
Well, I confess, I’m just a little M.A.D.D. about the whole thing!
Then again, I think I’m just mad … buwahahahahahahahahaaa O.o
I’m soo M.A.D.D. lol
NO POSTING AT EXACT SAME TIME NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENZ
*facepalm*
*argh* I see what happened there. *headdeskheaddesk*
ow
hugs^
*squeezes big* a.k.a. *bigsqueezes*
Oh the humanity!
Ouch!
The floor seems to not be completely leveled, a pool of wine can be observed on the left. Also, I reckon at least 40% of the bottles have stayed in one piece.
Floor is level you have been sucking up the floor again with a straw H3nQ .
Ok ok, you got me there. I stopped when I felt splinters in my throat.
LMAO….. H3nQ…Started to choke did you.LOL
It still hurts
The floor wasn’t, but the rack seems to be.
Nice rack swell foop … eh
*would run away, but, well, with this rack and all…*
Is that rack on the level?
it is now.
… that’s because I’m standing still.
*facepalm* (sitting still)
*knockers Foop so she wobbles a bit*
Knockers, yay!
*perks up*
*my weebles may wobble, but they don’t fall down*
*Catcalls* nice rack!
Imagine cleaning that up.
I play WoW on Earthen Ring [EU], RP realm.
Send a letter in-game to my Horde innkeeper, Montgomery [b]Beinhardt[/b]
Toodles
chocolate diet?
Mmmmmmmmm….chocolate!!! *squeeze*
Oh No! it racks disciprine!
*squeezes glannycatfrap* -.-
*squeeze*
See what happens?
I tell you you have a nice rack, and then you go to pieces.
*tries to keep eye contact*
*eyes water*
*hands back grannys contacts*
Um, that’s pointless now.
If Granny kept eye contact with me, then she’s a block of stone by now.
me eyes aren’t what they used to be
(never took them off the breasts)
Me thinks you might rack disciprine, gran’.
Granny, I have a rack of disprin if it hurts to lift your eyes.
We need get suppries to careen up!
*seeks up on Olur*
supplies!
*knocks over another wine lack*
Oh no! Another rack whacked! Get back!
another whacked rack leads to wine lack which leads to dry sack
back, sack & crack? *proffers wax strips*
Comes to after granny’s lack-luster smack attack. *moans* I think I cracked something…
That’s a fact. Employing tact beats getting smacked!
In fact, my tact is whacked. I think I deserve a smack.
ha ha ha ha CHOO!!!!
Gesundheit.
Prost!
You clinked our glass tankards too hard.
Again. I hate it when you do that.
(ancient fail ref)
sorry about that! granny’s drinking arm has had a bit too much training
Ein prosit der gemutlichkeit!
(lunched at Hofbrauhaus today, and feeling a bit German)
Bavarian! That’s something complketely different! (
, liebe Bayern)
Damn k.
I know. Even to the casual visitor, Bavaria seems like a totally different country form anywhere else in Germany.
But, on this side of the world, “German” means “Bavarian”, I’m afraid.
Mornin’ Arthur!
The USA has somewhat cartoonish characterizations of certain cultures. I don’t think most people take them seriously. But they are there. I used to live near a town (Leavenworth) in Washington state that was modeled after a Bavarian village. It’s all fake, but does represent an American stereotype of Germany.
It’s beautiful, set in the Cascade mountains, which are very similar in appearance to the Swiss alps.
leavenworth.org has pics, or do a google 1mage search for “Leavenworth Washington”. You may find it interesting, being from Germany and all.
One other tidbit…the city requires all structures in town to use faux-Bavarian architecture. So even McDonald’s, convenience stores, gas stations, hardware stores, etc all have the same look as you see in those pictures.
It’s a tourist town, obviously.
Hey we have a matching one of those ‘Bavarian’ towns in Helen GA.
It is kinds cartoony but I actually thing overall it is a good idea because:
A. It can be a gateway for people to become interested and begin to learn about other cultures.
B. Germans have a reputation for being complete hardasses around here – if some silly fake town lightens peoples opinions a bit, well that is a good thing.
C.They took a dying town (Helen) and found a way to make it beautiful and thriving (but a tourist trap).
Ah! and i was just about to cmplain about the lack of Brewski in the air.
Good to see ya buddy.
*ellbows Qwaz away*
Jenny, I disagree, because I think stereotypes like that make people think they know something about a place or a culture while they really don’t. Imägine a village stereotyping “the” African village… Racist? Stupid? I’d say yes. Therefore I’d also say it’s kinda bigoted to display any culture in a stereotyped village.
I’ve seen pictures of those…
I would buy tickets to redneckville
It is scary to think about the damage that could be done by stereotype-town gone mad. I am being lazy by letting the cutesy Bavarian crap slide by. I do question if there is a way to celebrate other cultures without falling into the stereotype trap?
This country tends to screw up most ‘representations’ of other cultures. Theme resteraunts are probably the #1 offenders.
Jenny, you actually can buy tickets to “redneckville”, not too far from Helen, GA, in Stone Mountain. It’s called “Crossroads” and it sucks.
Helen is much less fake.
Looks like the shelf had an epic civil war.
This must be what genocide looks like. It’s so tragic.
That’s what genocide looks like (clicky; not for the faint of heart!).
*heart feels very faint*
*gives Sponge an especially tender, tearful squeeze*
*puts on a brave face*
*squeeze*
Hi Arthur.
What is this massacre I see?
Not the wine!!!
The lovely Leila is a caffeined????
No, she’s NOT a fiend! She’s a {{{friend}}} yes. 
‘morning foop! *squeeze*
Caffeine is goooooooood!!!!
*hugs foop back*
Repeat after me:
Fellow failbloggers are our friends not food.
Ummm…fellow failbloggers are our friends not food.
You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose.
But you can’t wipe your friends on the couch.
*is seriously sorry she typed ^^ that*
*but, apparently not nearly sorry enough to hit “cancel reply*
Note to self:
Stay away from th Foop couch!
Note to self:
finish spelling ‘the’ by the end of today
E+
Must try harder.
Also, you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Wine WIN!
Lookie, the whites and reds spilt and mixed to form a nice chequered pattern.
Oooooooooooh…you are right! NOT.
*squeeze*
Them there are some bloody big pixels huh!
Magnified pixels.
Do you think it caused a draught when it fell?
Don’t know but we can chequers!
*Grabs The Moomin*
*squeeze and sniff*
Ahhhhh
*releases The Moomin back into the wild*
*catches Moomin*
*puts Moomin in a pan to simmer*
*Removes Moomin from pan*
*Sticks Moomin on a stick to roast over a fire*
*hands over basting juices*
Oh. What’s that, jennyisbusy? “Failbloggers are our friends, not food?” Er…
*Sets Moomin on ground and gently pushes, hoping he’ll start to move again*
OH my! What did you people do?
*runs to get magic Moomin reanimation dust*
The Moomin is ok! He just dashed off to the next fail before any other failbloggers could turn cannibal.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Doctor?
That’s not a fail, that’s a tragedy.
Note to self: Do not go wine shopping, driving on elevated roads/bridges, or visit the carnival’s “House of Mirrors” during an earthquake. In fact, I’m going to avoid the west coast altogether. I’m going where it’s safe!
*buys mobile home in Oklahoma*
(Good morning all!)
Morning Brewski!
Mal!
I just realized my above post was USA-centric…so some might not get it. Ah well, I haven’t had coffee yet.
I was gonna say, one of the worst natural disasters in the UK is a slightly grumpy badger….
they can give you a nasty nip you know!
I got your back! *is not returning it either…*
Yeah…I guzzled a bottle of Mountain Dew and am on my second cup of coffee… what concerns me is I am still tired. This is going to be a longgggggggg day. At least I have the blog!
Morning, guys!
Morning!
{{{{{bearhugs}}}}}
Aw, my favorite! *Bear hugs all around*
bear hugs- far better and waaaay less disturbing than custard hugs!
That sounds too much like what GCF was doing yesterday at that motel…
exactly….phew, close shave!
*runs out of the fail screaming something about the humanity of it all*
‘Tis better that ice cream than to wine about it, I always say.
Every morning we seem to wake up and find a new use for the ShamWows.
I personally, am my own ShamWow.
I think you’re better than a ShamWow!
Awww, That’s absorbutely nice of you to say.
*sponge squeeze*
Must suck when you go swimming :/
That comment was a lot to take in.
Take a moment to absorb it all.
*Sends Betty to help the whine catastrophe of ‘09*
Hurry back or I will get in trouble for sending you somewhere
*goes off to liquor up*
*loves this sponge*
*Worries a little that everyone will want a piece of Betty when she gets back*
*runs smack into Betty*
*drips and falls*
What’s a ShamWow? That thing you use to heal papercuts?
It’s a stupid rag that retains a great deal of liquids. It’s particularly known for its annoyingly long infomercials starring some guy who beats up/is beaten up by hookers.
*sneaks in before heading for my pillow to give Mal a lil smoochie on the cheekie* Whut?!? Why, the facie one, of course!
Yes, how did you figure it out?
What’s a ShamWow(tm)? What’s a ShamWow(tm)?
What the hell is wrong with you?
You’ve never heard of the great Vince Offer?
Well my friend sit back and learn.
Oh right. that commercial that i have never heard of or seen in my life? Wow, great upkeep.
I just found out i can reply! Wheew, or that could have been humiliating!
The idea is that we have seen the commercial… and get the reference…
Er… you might want to work on your nesting. Thanks!
Ah, you got it! *high five*
Quicker than you would have expected.. ha! *shines with glory*
My eyes!!! *falls over*
*Hands Malicite welding mask from last fail*
Quick, put this on!
Good save! *blinks several times*
Thank you!
Anytime!
3.
Huh?
Safety!
*rushes in to turn paper right-side-up*
There you go, Mal!
I’m tearing up a bit. This is just soooo sad!
I think I’m going to cry…
Is this Madonna’s place? Her rack seems to be sagging.
Either that or the Olsen Twins.
Cuz its not there at all any more.
It’s a wine wreck.
This one is pretty lame, especially since I’ve sent in photos of Fails like the restaurant named “Harry’s Ramsbottoms” and the hair salon named “C. Hair”, and a couple of others.
You submitted them to the wrong site. Send them to failblog-for-5th-graders.org.
If someone did this on purpose I really hope they’re under there.
*gets some wine in an attempt to forget all this wine*
this is so painful to look at
Let’s see:
Lubricate the floor with liquid: check
Cover the floor with piercing glass shards: check
My, this is going to be fun to watch!
Alcohol Abuse at its worst!
How to make people lick your floor win.
Mmmm… tastes like glass!
This is so sad…
That’s not a fail…
That’s a TRAGEDY.
Indeed. This picture made me die a little inside.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
all that wine, ON THE FLOOR!
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…
this makes me want to cry
Yes, it is very sad. Innocent wine destroyed in the prime of its life. The beer shop must have done this.
Alcohol Abuse!
This picture really, really hurts.
Especially if you’re barefoot.
alcohol abuse.
One would expect a bigger spill… So many bottles, where’s the wine? They probably put salt on it.
Sad day in wine paradise….
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! How sad D:
Oh, the humanity!
I never thought the failblog would make me cry
Clean-up on Isle Fail!
OMG, that must be like 100,000 dollars or so down the drain right then and there
I sure as hell wouldn’t be cleaning that up.
That nearly brings a tear to my eye.
OH NO!! THE BOOZE!!
I deliver wine for a living. I have nightmares that resemble this.
I wanna cry TT____TT
99 bottles of wine on the wall,
99 bottles of wine
take em all down, break em around,
0 bottles of wine on the wall
earthquake win
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you guys, this is just a painting on the wall.
you know, an optical illusion?
nothing more…
do not ask any questions §_§
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*gasp*OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
WHY?
*finds loose screw*
well there’s yer problem!
This should be on FML too.
-weeps for fallen comrades-
This is not funny. Laughing at people getting kicked in the balls, fine. Laughing when a sign says “Nut Sacks” instead of “Nut Snacks,” fine. Laughing at women and children, fine. But laughing when this much wine is destroyed? Not cool. Not cool at all.
Yawn.
More sympathy for wine bottles breaking than for human beings…tsk tsk…
so..much..wine….wasted! *cries*
Now that’s something to wine about. (Misspelling intentional.)
Oh God this feels horrible to look at!
T_T
This makes me sad :,( I could have been drunk for a year with all that wine *cry*
Smashing
everywhere
tiny
I think that’s my uncle’s bottle over there….
wupsies!
