    What if someone if trapped in there???

    • cycle22 says:

      You stay trapped.

      • fluffy says:

        But how will the people of the underworld take over?

        • jennyisbusy says:

          ZA is gonna be so pissed. They blocked off one of his escape routes.

          • Judy says:

            Jenny! Beautiful dog!

            • jennyisbusy says:

              Thanks!

              • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                Wow!! What kind of dog is that Jenny?

                • jennyisbusy says:

                  Well, we found her on the side of the road – but our guess (and the vets) is a mix of collie, german sheppard, and maybe retriever. Seriously she is the best dog ever.

                  • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                    I ♥ her!!!! Mutts usually make the best of dogs don’t they? Forget the designer / purebreds. They are a bunch of snooty pups.

                    • Jules ♂ ♪ © says:

                      :cry:

                      • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                        Aw…I am sorry Jules. I am talking about those 4lbs or less type variety.

                        • Elsa_Mama says:

                          I have two English Springers and had a Siberian Husky — all three pure breds. All dogs have their good and bad points. I do agree however that the “designer dogs” are stupid, not the dogs themselves, but the breeders and buyers who pay 1000′s of dollars for what are essentially mutts. When I was a kid our schnauzer knocked up a pomerian — the pups were mutts, very, very cute mutts that found homes with no problem, but today they would have been sold Pomauzers for $1000 —

                        • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                          LOL Elsa_Mama. Missed opportunity eh? Joking. It wasn’t my intention to offend anyone with a purebred – we have three but I find that the one that isn’t purebred is the sweetest and all around good doggie. The other ones are just…weird.

                  • Jules ♂ ♪ © says:

                    That’s the sad thing about the south, how many stray and abandoned dogs there are.

                    • Brewski says:

                      My girlfriend grew up in a house in the middle of nowhere in upstate NY. Very very rural, on a dirt road, no neighbors. They always had several pets, but never bought any or picked up any deliberately. People would drive into the countryside and dump their unwanted animals. Then her family would adopt them when they showed up at their house.
                      Pathetic. At least people could drop them at a shelter or something!

                      • Bearly Awake says:

                        It’s definitely sad, but nothing nearly as sad as the stray dogs in India. When I was in Karnataka, near some pretty significant archaelogical digs, we were told that the children in the villages had trained the dogs – if they get too friendly, bend down and look like you’re reaching for a rock, and they know what’s coming. :(

                        • DrB says:

                          Hey BA :) Are you from around there??

                        • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                          Mexico is just as bad as is Taiwan. :( Other countries do not have the same regard for pets such as dogs and cats. I just don’t get it.

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          See Aiki’s site (that AE linked you to) to see where I live. I was living in India for a few months about a year and a half ago, though. I miss it!

                        • jennyisbusy says:

                          I wish she could tell us her story – someone trained her, and she is so gentle, I can’t imagine what went wrong.
                          She went to live w/ someone else w/ a yard and elementary school aged kids. It is bittersweet for me. So I put up the p!c so I could look at her some more.

                          *original is in moderation land*

                        • DrB says:

                          Ya, wow the site has a lot more dots than when I saw it last! (there was maybe 4 or 5). I spent a few months there also – though in the north :)

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          Cool! I was living in Pune, but also visited Karnataka, Goa (ahhhhh!), Punjab, and Rajasthan. Whereabouts were you?

                        • DrB says:

                          East coast ~ Puri etc, then up the mountains via steamtrain and bus hehe. Across the north, and some time in Rajasthan, as far as a little west of Jaisalmer. Didn’t see Goa, though.

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          Let’s plan a trip. I’ll show you around Goa if you’ll show me around the east coast!

                    • jennyisbusy says:

                      I wish she could tell us her story – someone trained her, and she is so gentle, I can’t imagine what went wrong.
                      She went to live w/ someone else w/ a yard and elementary school aged kids. It is bittersweet for me. So I put up the pic so I could look at her some more.

              Man, Mr Cuddles would be pisses a perfectly good manhole blocked.

              • New Guy says:

                How come no one noticed I’m new? :S

                • Bearly Awake says:

                  Hi, New Guy! *Waves*

                  I think the problem is that a lot of new guys have similar names. Plus, you didn’t wave to us.

                  • New Guy says:

                    *waves*
                    *squeeze* (whatever that means o.o)

                    • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                      Hello New Guy! *squeeze*

                      Have you received an orientation class yet?

                      • New Guy says:

                        Nope. Not even a squeezing class :(
                        and you’re my 2nd welcomer after alot of people passed by without a welcoming squeeze!

                        • Leila - Powered By Caffeine says:

                          Sorry about that. We try to monitor your behavior first in case you start acting like a troll. People will warm up to you if you are respectful. :)

                          Brewski is good at giving orientation to new comers.

                        • Brewski says:

                          New Guy, I noticed you a while ago. Malicite is often good at greeting newbies. I do here and there, when they seem nice and/or funny. You make me think of a guy in my college dorm. He moved in mid-semester, and nobody could ever remember his name. His nickname became “New Guy”, and it stuck. Forever.

                        • DrB says:

                          New Guy, I replied to a couple of your posts ~ my way of accepting you.

                • no point mentioning what your name states surely!

                • Mystraven says:

                  Look at it this way: Some of us never really get noticed. The difference is what you do BEFORE people start noticing you.
                  Trust me, I’ve been arround since the “Fake Dark” incident (It’s near the very back of the blog).

                  • ChiaPet™ ♀ says:

                    Nobody really noticed or greeted me until I added the ” ♀ ” to my name – but then I got asked about Cheezburgers.

                    • Brewski says:

                      Just because you don’t get replies doesn’t mean you’re not noticed. Some posts don’t make for an easy lead-in to a new comment… others do.
                      I hope I don’t discriminate against newbies based on gender! Doesn’t matter.

                      • Bearly Awake says:

                        Well, we’ve already established that you can’t always tell gender! Those beer goggles get you every time! ;)

                          I had a number of exchanges with both you and Chan, I believe, thinking you were both male.

            • Bearly Awake says:

              Yeah, ZA seems to like burying himself in the ground anyway. Unfortunately, without sewer access, we need to find a new system of troll disposal.

    • blogger says:

      I agree. lately MANY old posts are being recycled…

      do the admins that post these pictures have bad memory?

      or if there’s a change of staff, make sure new staff read all the old posts before posting anything!!!

    Of all the days to not be able to get on-line, yesterday had to be the one.
    And I’m flabbergasted that no one has made the perfectly correct (for the very first time), if annoying, comment as per the pic.

    • Marius says:

      I missed most of yesterdays failing Avis.
      Do tell.

        Was out most of the day too…

        Michael Jackson. Did no one discuss his passing? I haven’t looked.
        Also, about this fail, see “Sewer Fail” from July 26th.

        • Marius says:

          Farrah Fawcett as well. :(

          • Avis says:

            I know, but they come in threes right? So we shouldn’t have to worry about another celebrity death for a while.

            • Ms B ♥ says:

              Except we’ve had 4 this month! David Carridine too!

              • Avis says:

                Oh, that’s RIGHT! I completely forgot about him!
                (he’s not really on my radar, I didn’t even know who people were talking about ’til I saw a picture)
                I hope this isn’t a new trend.

        • Ms B ♥ says:

          We did discuss it.

          • Avis says:

            I figured it would be hot topic around here. I was too busy cleaning and cooking for my parents and their houseguest. Said guest is actually staying at my place, but I made dinner for us all over at their place. I didn’t even hear about M.J.’s death until the guest told us! And that was around 6:30 PM!!

              You weren’t that far out of the loop. The original report came in at 6 local time. I think we are in the same timezone, if not just one or two’s zone difference.

              • Avis says:

                My mother heard it around 4PM. In a meeting. One of her co-workers (who is addicted to his Blackberry) interrupted the meeting to tell everyone. No one cared that he was inerrupting, not with news like that.
                And I’m in Chicago, that’s Central Standard Time.

                • Brewski says:

                  I was also shocked. I’m not a MJ fan. The weird gloved one kinda gave me the creeps. But I can’t deny he had a major influence on popular music.

                  • Avis says:

                    And was one for quite some time. He was the Prince of Pop.
                    (Which is weird that Prince wasn’t, even though he had the right “name”.)

        • jennyisbusy says:

          FB was having really bad issues – booting people off and not updating the ‘recent comments’ It was an effort to hang out. Glad you’re both here today!

      I would think you would be happy…? Ug I just did a 4 am shift till 10. I went to sleep around 1 and got up at 3. I’m thinking of an afternoon nap before going out to a club tonight.

        • Emperor, Leader of the Resistance, Tetragramaton Cleric. says:

          Another bug filled blog day. Every time I posted a comment I had to reload into the blog from the home page. Also the recent commenter’s section wouldn’t update.

          • Bearly Awake says:

            Yeah, I assumed it had something to do with the ads out to the side, but it seems to be resolved today, thankfully.

  23. Marius says:

    I see someone has curbed their manhole habit.

      I can’t do it Malicite. I have a headache but I will be sure to get someone to help chisel the cement away.

              But it’s FRIDAY, my “superior” officer (and her “superior” officer) aren’t in today, and GF is gonna have some 1800 with me this evening :)

                  • WhoaNellie >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

                    I recommend a layer of either 1800 or, if possible, Cabo Wabo to cover the cheap layer thoroughly.

  33. banana hammock says:

    someone already made a CHUD comment, crap.

  34. an-elite says:

    From the design of the manhole, the bricks, and the sidewalk, you can tell that this is in Russia or somewhere nearby. There, manhole cover theft is a problem . . . perhaps the curb has been placed there so no one could steal it?

  35. Failbot says:

    This is so old

  36. mrs_z says:

    Oh, geez–now just how is Andy Dufresne going to get out of THIS one?

    • mrs_z says:

      *voiceover by Morgan Freeman* I wish I could tell you that in 1966, Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank prison. I wish I could tell you that all they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub. Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of sh*t smelling foulness I can’t even imagine, or maybe I just don’t want to. Five hundred yards… that’s the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile. And then he hit that manhole cover, and had to crawl five hundred yards back through that foulness and right back into his cell to think up another bright idea.
