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.
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 —
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.
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).
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.
Phlegm phlegm phlegm phlegm phlegm phlegm!!! Phlegmmity phlegm, wonderful phlegm!!

*shakes fist at life*
Yeah, had that problem a couple of times. Right now life tells me to stop blogging and get my ass moving. I’ll ignore that for some more minutes.
Leila, try this: Take two very cold soda cans, go into a dark quiet room, and then hold the cans on your eyes so that they cool the area. I know it sounds weird, but it really helps me with migraines.
damn (used to happen when I was a bar manager too!)
Anyone for Zombies- clear your headaches up a treat
*warning may promote nudity, and drunkenness from the feet upward
It sounds best when Mookie says it while she’s blinking at the Moomin! As a young kid there were lots of caves around where I grew up. We’d make small flaming torches so we could see. Then scramble for the enterance when they went out and one of the gang would say “didja hear that???”.
(oh, and clicky, k@)
Happy failing to all of you! And may you all have a splendid weekend! See you on Monday, maybe earlier.
*ubiquitous SQUEEZE!!!* (it has to last for a while…)
Argh, I missed Arthur again! Ah well, if you read this, have a great weekend! If you don’t read this, I guess I’m just talking to myself! Hey Brewski, how’s it going? Not bad, thanks!
I remember I got a call about a personal injury once, a police man, who whilst in his full riot gear, (controlling some demonstration or other) did not realise the demonstrators had removes the manhole covers……Imagine a Loony Tunes moment-
-and I had to keep a straight face, and not giggle when he was telling me- hardest moment in my life!
I remember called a law firm about a personal injury once, whilst I was a police woman, in full riot gear, (controlling some demonstration or other) I did not realise the demonstrators had removed the manhole covers……1magine a Loony Tunes moment when I fell in-the receptionist must have had a hard time keeping a straight face, and not giggle when I was telling her- hardest moment in her life, I’m sure!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I know the feeling.
Mornings are for sleeping.
Sigh.
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
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?
*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.
so fake. anyone who thinks this wasn’t photoshopped is completely retarded. I’m assuming none of you have done any construction work at all, to realize that something like this wouldn’t happen, plain and simple. you dont just lay cement over a manhole willy nilly and “oops!”.
lol all of you, so retarded
What if someone if trapped in there???
You stay trapped.
But how will the people of the underworld take over?
ZA is gonna be so pissed. They blocked off one of his escape routes.
Jenny! Beautiful dog!
Thanks!
Wow!! What kind of dog is that Jenny?
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.
I ♥ her!!!! Mutts usually make the best of dogs don’t they? Forget the designer / purebreds. They are a bunch of snooty pups.
Aw…I am sorry Jules. I am talking about those 4lbs or less type variety.
I have two English Springers and had a Siberian Husky — all three pure breds. All dogs have their good and bad points.

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

Hey BA
Are you from around there??
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.
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!
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*
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
Cool! I was living in Pune, but also visited Karnataka, Goa (ahhhhh!), Punjab, and Rajasthan. Whereabouts were you?
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.
Let’s plan a trip. I’ll show you around Goa if you’ll show me around the east coast!

Man, Mr Cuddles would be pisses a perfectly good manhole blocked.
*hands Jules a cup of coffee*
I think you may want this.
I think my new avatar is distracting Jules.
You sure your dog doesn’t have a little Swedish Vallhund in her?
No, I am not sure of anything
I’m sure of many things, Grasshopper.
Nice avatar, Jules notwithstanding
HI, WN! *quick squeeze*
the underworld will find another way, don’t worry. We’ll all still perish in flames.
Happy happy Joy joy
Vive la resistance
How come no one noticed I’m new? :S
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.
*waves*
*squeeze* (whatever that means o.o)
Hello New Guy! *squeeze*
Have you received an orientation class yet?
Nope. Not even a squeezing class
and you’re my 2nd welcomer after alot of people passed by without a welcoming squeeze!
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.
We’re better at recognizing non-trolls if they have a unique avatar. Visit gravatar.com to sign up for one.
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.
New Guy, I replied to a couple of your posts ~ my way of accepting you.
no point mentioning what your name states surely!
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).
Nobody really noticed or greeted me until I added the ” ♀ ” to my name – but then I got asked about Cheezburgers.
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.
Well, we’ve already established that you can’t always tell gender! Those beer goggles get you every time!
*Blows Brewski a kiss*
I had a number of exchanges with both you and Chan, I believe, thinking you were both male.
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.
surely the old ‘put them on the balcony over the train track’ will still work.
And I mean OLD!
I wonder how many people get that…
Oh, and a good afternoon *squeeze* to all
I don’t think I’m old enough to get that, but *squeeze* to you, too!
I’m not sure, but I think maybe Bo is referencing an old fail? I remember that one!
failblog.org/2008/08/31/balcony-fail-2/
Ah, thanks!
By becoming mermaids and move into our water supply. I reccommend the insouciant spell.
You know, there IS another manhole just 10 feet to the left.
Stop calling me that, New Guy.
tmnt are dead now..
That’s what happened to Harry Lime!
Where is at?
aaaaaahahahahaaa XDDDD
Can’t wait to be the bicyclist that hits that.
Oh I don’t know about that.. Hitting bricks not as much fun as hitting water.
S^
Shitting water?
Snot?
Phlegm?
Phlegm phlegm phlegm phlegm phlegm phlegm!!! Phlegmmity phlegm, wonderful phlegm!!
(Is that a song or are the voices in my head making stuff up again?)
It’s you.
No, fluffy’s right…
♫ Phlegm glorious phlegm,
Hot goobers and custard… ♫
i know that one!
Ihave it on my iPod
Shitting bricks?? (Owch!)
I like it how accurate they cutted it.
It’s pre-cut in the factory. They have lots of manholes to cover.
That’s not terribly PC. What about the womanholes?
They just get filled in.
Butt I can only see one O.o
One in the back two in the front, you just have to look harder.
Did you misspell ‘lick’??!?
He misspelled LMAO.
ROFLMAO
err…please
Women are too smart to crawl down holes in the street.
Just curious – am I the only one having some difficulties to not giggle Beavis and Butthead-style when hearing “manhole”?
I need TP for my man hole!
I believe, per rules of political correctness, it is now called “Entry lid for service people of non-specific gender to gain entry to underground area”
No fancy abbreviation?
*disappointed*
Brewski, I belive it is actualy now called “But”
That would be a ELF Spong Getug
It should be called “personhole”, because that’s politically correct.
It is however nowhere near as funny!
MANHOLE! MANHOLE! MANHOLE!
Ok, I feel better. Sorry about the outburst.
I am actually a manhole specialist.
*slinks off*
I thought MMC was our resident manhole specialist?
*walks away all foncused*
He’s more hands on, I’m the technical side of things.
Granny is the grand-puba of manholes.
Don’t worry, after all screaming is a motiventional tool…
like xmass bonuses and sexual harassment.
Hmmm… wondering what a person of “non-specific gender” would be — perhaps someone like Bruno … he was on the Tonight Showlast night — very scary
Psst, cut-cut-cut.
…they cut it? Or …they cut-cut-cut it?
Cut, cut, cut, blood, spurt, artery, murder, Hitchc0ck, Psycho…

I just can’t get enough of Python references.
I have done this so many times at parties that I started to think I wrote it!
Sorry, forgot to put up the “away” sign.
is that even possible????
Everything is possible if you can fail.
Ooh, that’s good!
*writes that down for later use*
Yes. Anything is possible with the right people in the wrong place at the right time.
Wait, that dosen’t seem correct…
I had best go check on this theory.
Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.
looool
3rd world country like
no try NY suburbia like
HEY, I resent the 3rd world country comment!!!! We don’t use manholes.
Exactly! We have rivers for that!
…and public walls!
*snaffles first ‘l’*
*raises eyebrow*
Rivers?! You have it good. I have to walk 2 hours, uphill both ways, to an overflowing cesspool.
Luxuries! We had to travel 2 weeks by foot in chest-deep snow, blazing sun above us, just to pee in a broken bukket.
“I haven’t seen Bob since last Friday, the day we put that curb over the manho…. oh crap!”
Get me outta here!!!
Hang on, we’ll save you…Uhoh.

…and a big *squeeze* to you!
*squeezes* Thankyou! It’s nice to have some things sorted (life gets in the way, yanno)
If I could just get the lid off that darn clicky…
*shakes fist at life*
Yeah, had that problem a couple of times. Right now life tells me to stop blogging and get my ass moving. I’ll ignore that for some more minutes.
What’s the fun in that! We are waaaay more important than real life.
Life’s kinda my personal Kim Jong Il.
Life’s a dictator who is the son of a guy who thinks he is a god?
*tastes*
Yup.
For a moment I thought you took a bite out of Kim Jong Il.
If someone did that, Kim Jong Il will put you in jail or worse.
*put him in
Grammar self-fail.
*whines to Ms B*
How do you get rid of a massive headache?
Good morning *squeeze*
*squeeze*
I wish I could help with that, but I’m not very good at that. Mine tend to hang on all day despite pain killers.
Okay … thanks.
*puts sunglasses on*
Too much glare.
I sympathize, sweetie. Had one myself last night. But it was gone this morning. *is grateful!*
Thanks Judy. *squeeze*
Your happiness from yesterday is still rubbing off on me.
*rubs Leila’s head gently*
Ahhhh…that feels sooooo nice!!! I will return the favor to you when need be.
I recall a lot of rubbing going on yesterday!
I’m surprised you can recall anything from yesterday, B!
Do we have it on film?
The rubbing was nice.
Leila, try this: Take two very cold soda cans, go into a dark quiet room, and then hold the cans on your eyes so that they cool the area. I know it sounds weird, but it really helps me with migraines.
Damn. I missed rubbing?!?!?
*rubs WN*
Better?
I was hoping for Ms B, Leila, and Judy, etc…
But thanks
All right. Since you asked soooo nicely.
*rubs WN and Brewski*
Thank you fluffy. I will def try it. We have a room here we can use but it’s usually occupied with new moms expressing milk for their babies.
*rubs WN and Brewski for a little bit then goes back to dark room*
Are you suggesting slathering quick-crete into your manhole for protection?
I also hang a “Do Not Enter” sign. (sorry MMC!)
*enters Brewski’s manhole*
It’s dark in here!!!
Where is your ET finger? It glows for a reason, yanno!
I did not know that. Do you have one on you? I promise to return it.
Here, Leila, take this one. And you may as well check him for polyps while you’re in there.
how many people fit in Brewski’s manhole anyway???
I just came out of there.
*whispers while shuddering*
You don’t want to know.
Okay. Thanks. *puts body rubber glove onm, stilletos and moves in with ET finger pointed forward*
It’s going to be a long day. *echo, echo, echo!!!*
Run Brewski! Run!
Leila! Watch out for the potato!
That’s a potato? I was tugging on it thinking it was a polyp.
Brewski! Weren’t you supposed to give that back to the Vicar a long time ago?
*turns green*
*runs to men’s room holding hand over mouth*
WHOA! WHOAH!!! *yells*
Hey, I am still in here!!!!!
..still in here!!!
..still in here!!!
here
here
Too late.
It’s glowing! There must be orcs nearby! Or corcks!
*uses endoscope to skilfully remove “c”*
Send that to pathology, nurse.
You should have removed the “r” instead of the “c”.
How very r.c. of you, Prix!
Brain bleach required please.
Umm…is this any use?
*passes anal bleach*
hmmmm, not sure, worth a shot!
Just purse your lips, sweets.
Didn´t someone mention a real big plug called “The Reamer” or something like that? Would close the lid on… well… um… nevermind.
*deposits Joya in barrel*
*closes lid*
*walks up with a Reamer in his manhole*
Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it!
Uh, is Leila still in there????
*muffled voice*
YES!
*hollars into Brewski’s microphone…err macrophone*
‘Sokay Leila ~ this thread should pass shortly!
Especially considering I just finished lunch. Chicken/corn casserole. (No joke!)
Nothing in there is going to be sticking around for long! Run faster, Leila!
Girl, you don’t have to tell me twice. It’s just fowl, er…foul in there!!!!!
Howdy cowboy! You look like you just rode cross country.
They let it through! Heh!
A joke at the speed of moderation
Anyone remember Ryanon’s plugs?
HA! The Baby Jesus Butt Plug! *roffles*
I posted Ryannon’s ‘so gay’ link down there VVV earlier!

*squeeze*
Speaking of nekkid Ms B … you two are keeping it together thus far…and it’s Friday. I don’t know if I should worry or rejoyce.
It’s still early!
Yeah, if I were you, Leila, I’d watch that gutter you jumped into. I have a feeling it’s going to sink to a new low.
I tried to get it cleaned a few times but I got turned away.
*cleans gutter*
Cumquats & midgets! classic:
Hehe. Hey Jen, tyvm for the chandelier tip the other day
Did you buy one? I am sure they cost as much as my car

Awwww
*bats eyelashes*
*takes a fly swatter at the bats and starts swinging*
I will save you jenny!!!!!
sorry – that was my shopping list for mermaid making stew.
Fine! I didn’t want to get into the sewer anyway!
Trying to stay out of the gutter today?
Oh I try everyday. I just fail, lots.
That is why it’s called the fail blog. If at first you don’t succeed try, try again. It is entertaining for the rest of us.
Really, it takes me the MOST effort to get out of the gutter. For example clicky
DAMMIT!!! It’s blocked.
The gutter hasn’t been cleaned in weeks. Make room, I am coming in anyway.
That’s ok it’s pretty bad.
Ha ha it’s a product of Coca-cola.
*feels left out*
Here. Hold out your hands, I’ll give you the braille version.
French polish. Nice.
Damn an blast!
*Spongey Sir B squeeze*

I … saw … nothing! NOTHING!!!!
*squeeze Sponge*
*growls at Jules*
*bares…….fangs, yeah, that’s right, fangs*
There’s room over here in the gutter with us, Ms B! (Scootch over a little, Brewski!)
*scootches*
It’s a big gutter though, plenty of room. If you’re really bad, you might get washed down into the sewer. But I’m content right here.
Haven’t seen velvet yet this morning. They must be keeping her busy again. Hope she’s able to get away for the cuddle puddle later.
*sighs*
Smaller gutters are more fun though, Brewski! It would just mean we’d have to sit closer to each other
I am planning a sperlunking trip next week at some point if anyone gets bored of just gutters and sewers!
For now, though, scootch over!
*Hops into gutter*
Is this a private party or can anyone join?
*joins the group in the gutter*
There’s nothing private about these gutter parties, sweetie!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*leaps in*
*squeezes everybody*
Is our Friday cuddle puddle starting out in the gutter?
*Shrug*
*Squeezes Lurk and the rest of the FailGutter*
You’re squeezing the gutter? Weirdo!
Sorry!
*Throws “contents of” toward previous comment.*
Although I think Mal and WN were squeezing the ground yesterday, so anything goes around here.
Really? You (elephant) must use a really strong rope.
noo, this is just a disguise! -normal (OK slightly strenthened) ropes apply!
Amazing what you can do with papier mache and a live model!
Do you do the old 2 person in a horse suit routine, with your ele?

When I read this again I thought of Czuck w/ TP on his head from yesterday.
Actually, or figuratively, k@?
figurative at the moment- though it always appealed ’cause I like the word!
It sounds best when Mookie says it while she’s blinking at the Moomin! As a young kid there were lots of caves around where I grew up. We’d make small flaming torches so we could see. Then scramble for the enterance when they went out and one of the gang would say “didja hear that???”.
(oh, and clicky, k@)

The noise made while going down.
*I miss Mookie*
Mo too
We three.
Hmmm I thought it was the sound they made when they landed?
That’s one way of refusing to deal with a city’s sewage and water issues…
Local Government cover-up… literally.
Something is very stinky here.
*nods* Something’s definitely Mal’odorous!
Odiferous even.
The odor of mal’icious intent?
*Squeeze* Hello DrB!
Marius! *squeeze*
Yes, Leila’s senses responded to that Mal’apropos!
Leila knows Mal’arkey when it makes scents.
Those scents give most people Mal’adies.
If it gets too strong, I heard that Mal’dives can be distracting.
Those Mal’dives give me a Mal’aise. I’d rather it be Mal’edict.
I think we have made Mal-a-mute!
Maybe Mal’ingers around to see what’ll happen next.
I have no Mal’evolent intentions.
man hole bad
bad man hole
Batman hole?
THE place to look for the red robin…
hatband foal?
Batman, having lost his house and cave to bankruptcy, had to hide in a manhole cover.
So are you saying this is a Joker win?
Yes.
No, it’s a BMW win.
Oh no!
*glances around for Arthur*
Actually, BMW and the Joker joined forces to bring about Batman’s bankruptcy.
Are you *sniff, sniff* new bonnabid?
Actually, yes.
Welcome to Failblog, bonnabid. Hope you enjoy yourself here.

BREWSKI/MALICITE NEW BLOOD OVER HERE!!!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Is that a Simpsons avatar?
No. Try Ed, Edd n’ Eddy.
Ed, Edd and Eddy.
*is embarrassed*
I ♥ Ed, Edd and Eddy!!!!
Don’t be embarrassed Ms B.
*hands Ms B a shot o’ 1800*
Hi! Are you Ed, Edd, or Eddy? I can’t remember which is which.
Eddy, of course.
Ah. Schemer. You’ll fit in great around here!
He frustrates me sometimes. Always trying to make a quick buck.
psssst….granny….I know who you are now!
that’s cool, I’m Dan Gerous
My name is Jenny IsBusy.
Don’t worry Jenny I’ve got you number.
867-5309
I got it, I got it!
Was it on the bathroom wall?
I know you’ll think I’m like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall.
For a good time call!
Someone told me about her – the way she lied.
Someone told me about her – how many people cried.
Sorry I’ll try not to be hasty.
In any case, I am now a fan.
*squeeze*
Just to add the touch of irrelevant reality, it looks like they have yet to add the asphalt to the road side of the curb.
You are wrong aiki. The job is complete. It says so on my documents.
*lies on table with writing on chest*
Can I please do my shirt up now?
Speaking of gutter…there’s a stray comment of yours around here somewhere I was going to visit…
(Oh! and the cuddle puddles in the next Fail!)
Huh huh!
You said “ass fault!”
Huh huh!
At least we now know who to blame.
Butt it wasn’t his fault.
You’re being cheeky again.
Well, someone is to blame for the manhole being in arrears.
No one to blame – everything works out in the end.
FAIL!

Aah, just shaved my balls!
granny helped
Don’t forget to wash your hands!
Hands?
*passes granny a toothpick*
Happy failing to all of you! And may you all have a splendid weekend! See you on Monday, maybe earlier.
*ubiquitous SQUEEZE!!!* (it has to last for a while…)
*squeezies* bye bye

*squeezes*

By Arthur, see you on Monday.. Monday? *shivers*
*Squeeze back*
Have a good weekend!
*blows Arthur kisses*
I don’t want to get you sick. Have a wonderful weekend!!!
Farewell Artorius…have a great weekend *sniff*
Godspeed Atreyu…squeeze the Luckdragon for me! *spliff*
Argh, I missed Arthur again! Ah well, if you read this, have a great weekend! If you don’t read this, I guess I’m just talking to myself! Hey Brewski, how’s it going? Not bad, thanks!
I remember I got a call about a personal injury once, a police man, who whilst in his full riot gear, (controlling some demonstration or other) did not realise the demonstrators had removes the manhole covers……Imagine a Loony Tunes moment-
-and I had to keep a straight face, and not giggle when he was telling me- hardest moment in my life!
I remember called a law firm about a personal injury once, whilst I was a police woman, in full riot gear, (controlling some demonstration or other) I did not realise the demonstrators had removed the manhole covers……1magine a Loony Tunes moment when I fell in-the receptionist must have had a hard time keeping a straight face, and not giggle when I was telling her- hardest moment in her life, I’m sure!
*snork*
least you were definately not there for the sheep rap e incident Judy!
Sheep rape??? Don’twannadon’twannadon’twanna know!!!!

This is the second Time I have posted this due to presence of the I word
You mean “!magine”?
thats the badger!
I can’t understand it!
Censorship wants to block our right to free imagination. Maybe the Communists are behind this. (or the “moderating machine” doesn’t like you)
I reckon you may have something there! ….the machine hates me.
Perhaps I can help.

I don’t know what is worse, riding your bike in a water hole or falling into a manhole.
I would prefer the water myself. If I get to choose…
Now that’s angry protester ingenuity!
I wonder when people will stop reposting the same old stuff…
http://failblog.org/2008/07/26/sewer-fail/
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!!!
The following events caused the city to install concrete curbs over manholes…
What in hell is going on there? What’s with the baton-wielding assailant??
Maybe the falling-in-the-manhole-guy wanted to use the cover as a shield.
On a side note, at first I thought you said “bacon-wielding.”
Yep. That’ll do it.
I’m off again, I MUST work on my portfolio so I’m trying to close all the distraction, see you my friends!
Goodbye! *squeezes around*
*pouts*
By Hairy!
I always seem to be late with the “goodbyes”.
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.
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.
Farrah Fawcett as well.
I know, but they come in threes right? So we shouldn’t have to worry about another celebrity death for a while.
Except we’ve had 4 this month! David Carridine too!
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.
We did discuss it.
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.
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.
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.
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”.)
I am too depressed to even mention it.
I am going ^ there or I will make a fool of myself. It’s open cubes and don’t want anyone watching me cry.
Just kidding!
*squeeze*
*squeeze*
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’m kinda glad I missed that. I wonder if we’re in for some new big change?
*squeezes*
“Big change?”
Yeah, I’m glad it wasn’t just me. I had trouble posting yesterday afternoon.
I have trouble posting EVERY day – but it’s due exclusively to working for momos.
“working for momos”
You crack me up!
*squeezes*
It must have been frustrating.
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.
Happy? About? What did I miss?!?
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.
Yeah, I assumed it had something to do with the ads out to the side, but it seems to be resolved today, thankfully.
I see someone has curbed their manhole habit.
Yes, that should cement things nicely.
It can be a sticky situation.
We’ll just have to wait for someone to blow the lid off this situation.
*cannot think today*
I think someone sealed my brain with cement…
*empathizes with the manhole*
*hands a chisel*
I can’t do it Malicite. I have a headache but I will be sure to get someone to help chisel the cement away.
What’s the matter? Too busy to keep thoughts in line?
*squeeze*
I’m in a congested fog today. I know how you both feel. Let’s start a Brain Fart Anonymous group!
Tequila anyone??
WN! *squeeze*
I’m in on the BFA group. I could barely get out of bed today.
I know the feeling.
Mornings are for sleeping.
Sigh.
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
Oh – and *SQUEEEZE* back
I have a layer of cheap tequila on the brain… I just got a taste of it…and nearly ralphed.
*read Brain Fart Anon…as Brian Fart Anon and was wondering why people wanted to group around that*
I recommend a layer of either 1800 or, if possible, Cabo Wabo to cover the cheap layer thoroughly.
Hey has any one seen my pizza?
yeah, I ate it
and it tasted really good
Oh no, now you’re in dutch.
I guess he put that pizza between his tulips.
Does that make it a double dutch cheese pie?
No no you did not just say that LMAO.
Haven’t we seen this one before?
Not complaining, just saying – I’m getting a major case of Deja Vu here.
I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.

Surely you can’t be serious!
I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.
Sewer Fail, July 26th. I think this is the very first time FB has truly done a repeat.
I remember there was one other repeat, but can’t remember what it was…
I don’t tend to remember them until the third or fourth repeat.
We thought the sidewalk fail was a repeat, but it turned out to be just very very similar. Is that the one? Or did I miss one?
My post with the link is awaiting moderation. There was a skateboarding fail that was posted twice: 10/15/2008 and 6/17/2008.
Yep, here’s a double fail:
http://failblog.org/2008/10/15/skateboarding-fail-2/
http://failblog.org/2008/06/17/skateboarding-fail/
This has already been on fail blog im 99% sure I’m to lazy to find the link though!
I am 100% sure that you are too lazy to find the link.
I already found it and told everyone where to go. You ARE lazy. Read the comments!
If he did read the comments, he’d complain we’re all off topic and then we’d tell him not to read the comments.
Aaaaghh!
*runs out of the room screaming and waving arms*
What a conundrum.
Damned if you do.
Damned if you don’t.
*waits for univers to implode*
*waits for a
courier*That’s more than half!
NOW try falling into that beotch!
FIRST
First?
*tries to ignore trollish behavior*
Anyone seen gaynorvader or FSA lately?
At least the CHUDs, White Alligators and Zombies won’t be using THAT manhole….
I’m sure this had been posted before.
someone already made a CHUD comment, crap.
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?
This is so old
Oh, geez–now just how is Andy Dufresne going to get out of THIS one?
*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.
DUPE FAIL

Repetition Fail.
^
don’t spoil it for us
so fake. anyone who thinks this wasn’t photoshopped is completely retarded. I’m assuming none of you have done any construction work at all, to realize that something like this wouldn’t happen, plain and simple. you dont just lay cement over a manhole willy nilly and “oops!”.
lol all of you, so retarded
You know that someone was pouring the concrete, and figured…..”Not my problem”
It’s in our mortherland Russia, indeed!
NO EXIT FOR YOU!
The man is always keeping us Chuds down.
Omg, looks like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles won’t be saving the day
construction industry fail!
