  1. jam says:

    I forgot what I was going to say.

  2. Bob says:

    Great idea, put them in a book. Win!

  3. ClabberHead says:

    It’s so great having Alzheimer’s. Every day you meet so many new people.

  4. RockyRoader says:

    The slogan of the Alzheimers’ Society is “Remember those who cannot”.
    The title of the book is a reminder of the cause – deliberately so, I expect.

  5. Mat says:

    This is really a bad choice of words…

  6. DBee says:

    The house looks like a mushroom…

  7. Sidhe Cat says:

    I have some great recipes, take my word for it.

  8. All the recipes seem to have aluminium shavings as the main ingredient mmmmm

  9. fluffy says:

    Some recipes I forgot:
    Hoe to make ice.
    How to make a hard boiled egg.

  10. iepoev says:

    Is it just me, or does this page look more lake a chatbox rather then a commenting…err…thingie

  11. 5 eagles "enigma" says:

    Good morning K@ctf and fluffy,sidhe cat,grannyflapcat,BoB, GBF,and Halifax who will be around soon. and swell foop and cherry brewski, Qwas
    Avis and Aja. Did I miss anyone. That was my cuddle puddle.

    Thunder bay is one of the nicest places to go and see. It is flat with on huge rock outcropping out in the middle of nowhere is which a rez sits on.
    It has two old forts at the lakes edge.
    It seems odd for the name of the book but some of the recipes are from old school cooking which needs to come back to today’s cooking classes.

    • ammcneil says:

      Student at Lakehead here, i laughed so hard when i saw this.

      Thunder bay is an AMAZING city if you like outdoors activities, especially rock climbing. it’s too bad the actual city is a little grungy, and has a serious anti-first nations prejudice problem.

      • James says:

        Probably because the first nations (or as we call em Natives) are pretty lousy here. There are the odd good ones, but for the majority of them its picking up wellfare checks, drinking booze(often Listerine) and spending the rest on smokes and the Casino…

        Its one of those times its racist and true :) … Thunder Bay 4 Life…. actually I cant wait to leave this shit hole.

        • Jen says:

          No, WE don’t call them Natives, WE call them Aboriginal. YOU call them Natives.

          And we call you a racist prick. NO, it is not racist and true, it’s just racist. And all of us white people are rednecks that drive monster trucks and get drunk and beat our wives and hurl racist epithets around too. What are you, 18? Haven’t lived enough not to fall prey to stereotypes? Have you ever actually had a discussion with anyone who isn’t white? Grow up.

          And please do get the f**k out, we don’t want racist a**holes here anyway. Though I don’t know what other city would want you either.

        • 5 eagles "enigma" says:

          Well James I am first nation yes first nation not second. What is the stats on non native that pick up welfare checks and drink and buy native smokes? I first I was offended but understand your views.
          More disappointed in the regulars FB’s for not saying something early to you,instead of going on about Squeezes LOL.

          • ammcneil says:

            the thing is, the majority of low wealth population in thunder bay IS first nations, but only because the stereotype is there. you want a job? the employer wants white, they don’t want “one of them dirty Indians working here” the racism limits opportunities for these people, and then it ‘justifies’ itself when they find them in the welfare line a year later, it’s self fulfilling, and it sickens me. people are going to try to call me out saying that i have only been here for two years, make no mistake, i have been threatened by drunk foaming at the mouth natives, and it wouldn’t matter the colour of their skin to me, it’s the person that is bad, not the people.

            • Jen says:

              And I’ve been threatened by white middle-upper class drunk foaming at the mouth assholes here too. It’s just easier for people to point the finger at people who are visibly different.

              ammcneil, you’re correct in part of what you’re saying, that stereotypes are part of the problem. Although 48% of the Aboriginal population in Thunder Bay are living in poverty (HALF of the Aboriginal population! HALF), Aboriginal people only make up 17% of the people who are receiving social assistance in this city. So obviously the idea that it’s only Aboriginal people on social assistance is RIDICULOUS. Apparently it’s all us whities who are standing in line for those Welfare cheques (yes Welfare cheques, not ‘wellfare checks’, learn to spell). As for drinking Listerine, I guess James has followed every Aboriginal person around to see what they do with their spare time. And following them to the store and to the Casino to see what they spend their money on. Funny, because my brother used to work at the Casino, and it was usually old white people that I saw there… And funny that all of the Aboriginal people in my life don’t drink or smoke (or gamble). They must be the only Aboriginal people in the city that that’s true about, since the rest are obviously low-life degenerates like James says, and no white people are like that.

              Apparently I’m still pissed about this. I sure hope I meet James some day. We could have a really great conversation.

  12. RockyRoader says:

    One thing I did find ironic recently was a charity quiz night in aid of the Alzheimers Society.

  13. Ebbasta says:

    This is not a fail at all. Sad.

  14. The cake is a lie says:

    Who am I?

  15. huh? says:

    HUH???

  16. Radebe says:

    Squeeze me jam

  17. just a reminder (clickie)

  18. Did I put any garlic in this?

  19. Brewski says:

    Good morning!
    *skims comments*
    Hmm… I think I’ll skip this fail.
    :(
    See you guys at 10 FBT.

  20. Daniel says:

    This is anti community recipes book.

  21. Radebe says:

    Oh there it is! Thanks for the squeeze darling

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

    *Hears familiar ding*
    Guess its nap time.
    *Nods off on command*

  23. I am lost.
    I’ve gone to look for myself.
    If I should return before I get back,
    please ask me to wait.

    I have answers that I don’t remember the questions to.

  24. Onion says:

    Alzheimer did a lot more research in his day than just that disease he named after himself.

    The name of the book is just ironic, it’s a joke!

  25. some cook to remember,
    some cook to forget

  26. rylee says:

    lol i live there! we aren’t usually that retarded :(

  27. Temily_Emily says:

    Wooooooo Thunder Bay!

    I’d rather be back there than where I am now.

  28. sbellis says:

    S#IT. Did I already add the sugar???

  29. YFCVice says:

    This organization works tirelessly to help families affected by dementia. The name of the cookbook isn’t a joke, nor is it ironic.

    Jokes about a chronic disease that strips those affected by it of their identity and dignity are not actually funny.

    • gmc360 says:

      This topic is Not funny. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Be glad you don’t have Alzheimers, or that you don’t have alzheimer’s.

      clearly this is a better place for my post

  30. Jayme says:

    This is a fundraiser. It’s meant exactly as it sounds. The only problem that I see is a bunch of idiots thinking that it is something that it isn’t.

  31. gmc360 says:

    This topic is Not funny. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Be glad you don’t have Alzheimers, or that you don’t have alzheimer’s.

  32. raadec says:

    i have no idea what the fail is. enlighten me.

      • anonymiss says:

        The reason it is a fail is obscured by the fact that the image itself is for some unknown reason, a lot darker than it appeared during voting.

        On the bottom of the book there are words that refer to it being a fundraiser for Alzheimers’.

        geddit?

        Most people here are either seeing the image better, or like me, are remembering it as it was during voting.

  33. Dani says:

    OMG! I’m from Thunder Bay! I don’t live there at the moment, but woo! Our little town on failblog. xD

  34. Jim says:

    this is not a fail….

  35. FullMetal says:

    This is not a true fail, it is called “Recipes to remember” because it is sold to fund Alzheimer research and care. They’re selling the “recipes” to help people “remember”. I guess it is a fail in that it over the heads of many people who think it’s a recipe book for people with Alzheimer’s. but that’s not a fault of the cookbook. Not the quality of fail I have come to expect.

  36. Russell Schiwal says:

    Page ten; Bake a cake for your own surprize birthday party!

  37. I R SMRT says:

    Now that’s just cruel.

  38. MeganfromAlpena says:

    This is from my hometown of Alpena, MI! We are located right on Thunder Bay (look it up) and we have a museum here called the Jesse Besser Museum. I was going through it with my father (who lives in another state and had never seen our one and only semi-interesting site) when we stopped in their gift shop area. We saw this book and laughed our butts off about it, but never thought of putting it on here. Since I’m from a small town, this is exciting. We have NOTHING interesting here, so…yay!

    • penwuin says:

      omg im in thunder bay lmfao cant beleive we have a pic on fail blog

      • Jen says:

        If you’re in Thunder Bay, ON in Canada, there was a McDonalds one WAAAAAAAAAAAY back that was also from T. Bay.

    • Jen says:

      No, sorry, it’s from the city of Thunder Bay, ON in Canada. The picture on the front is the Pagoda, our local city tourist office.

      You have probably seen one in your town, each Alzheimer’s Society in each city puts out their own “Recipes to Remember” cookbook, but it isn’t this one. This one is definitely from Thunder Bay, ON.

  39. ohpuhleeze says:

    but she always had a carefree mind of her own
    with a devilish look in her eye
    saying you can call me anything you like
    but my name is Veronica

  40. sheeb says:

    Will someone tell me why this is funny?

  41. Bluwaddles says:

    wait, y am i here and what is this thing with letters that i’m typing on!

  42. Elkku says:

    I REMEMBAH! ohwait i forgot again :(

  43. Chris Amini says:

    lmao. I am from Thunder Bay!

  44. yays :) says:

    LFAO IM FROM THUNDERBAY :) LOL THIS IS A VERY FAIL CITY

  45. aily says:

    grrr ahhh wh?? ho?? wh???

  46. idk... says:

    Where am I?

  47. kannadzuki says:

    Cool. I think my father bought one of these when I was a kid. I don’t remember it saying Thunder Bay on it, but it might have been the same one in Winnipeg. I think some of my first baking was based on recipes from the version I had. :)

    • Jen says:

      Every city’s Alzheimer Society has their own version of this cookbook, so you probably did have a Winnipeg one if that’s where you are…

  48. Dee says:

    Bahaha, I’m from Thunder Bay, too!

  49. Andrew says:

    Only a fail when taken out of context, like many fails on this site I presume.

    The title “Recipes to Remember” was picked because it is sold as a fundraiser for the Alzheimer society… so yeah, not a fail at all if you ask me.

    Failblog… FAIL

  50. rawrlicious says:

    oh, way to go thunder bay :|

  51. Mr.Giggles says:

    OMG LOL!! I LIVE THERE!!!!!!!! HAHAHA! My town fails :)

  52. Deej says:

    Wow, I lol’d. I live in Thunder Bay! Lol, we fail XD

  53. Jessamyn&Genevieve says:

    We agree – that’s a WIN!

  54. Mr.Giggles says:

    Hahaha, Thunder Bay FTF (For the Fail)! :D

  55. Iohannes says:

    For all of you thinking that Alzheimer’s is so funny, you need to grow up. I’ve had relatives with Alzheimer’s and I’ve watched them slowly die as an end result. And since it appears to be genetic, it might happen to me sooner or later. If you think forgetting the people you love or your best memories is funny, you are twisted beyond my reckoning. And as it has been repeatedly pointed out, this is only a fail if taken out of context.

  56. puppychow17 says:

    Hah, I’m in Thunder Bay.

  57. Matt says:

    Hey i live in thunder bay

  58. no such thing as alzheimer’s.

  59. Aww says:

    Not a fail.
    The recipes in the book are meant to provide specific nutrition to aid in fighting off the disease. They mean the title quite literally.

  60. Stick2012 says:

    Whats the fail?

  61. KC says:

    OMG! I live in Thunder Bay! :O I don’t remember why that’s important tho :S
