  1. Avis says:

    Talk about being wrapped up in your work!!

  2. up, oohh, ohh hey guys wait…. oh well, they’ll figure it out later.

  3. GoodByeToday says:

    Hehe. Just got owned!

  4. spud says:

    I think the best part is how the players are laughing at him

    • Orkan says:

      Her.

      You can see her pony tail when she bites it. I also remember seeing this on tv when she crawls out from underneath the tarp.

      • Khaaaaaaan says:

        I know way too many dudes with pony tails…

      • fvzappa says:

        Indeed this is a female. This happened about 3 weeks ago, I saw it live. She did crawl out after it was finished being covered. And, they interviewed her, since there was little going on during the delay (as usual). She took it in stride.

  5. Ms B ♥ says:

    I am sad to say I have done something very similar to that.

    Go team clutz!!!

    • Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

      *puts on cheerleading outfit and pompoms*

      Give me a C
      Give me a L
      Give me a U

      okay … that’s all I got.

      • Cloral says:

        California Lutheran University? They have a campus near where I live. Their mascot is the Regales.

        • Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

          Yeah…that’s it Cloral. I was cheering for CLU!! teehee How did I do?

          • Cloral says:

            Don’t know how you could ask for a CLU any better.

            • Ms B ♥ says:

              There’s a local tech college that has been advertising a lot lately with the abbreviation UTI. All I can do when I see these commercials is cross my legs and laugh about the silly person (likely male) who decided this was a good idea.

              • Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

                Oh. Ow!!! I have the sudden urge to drink some cranberry juice.

              • Someone Nicer than Jenny says:

                Most people end up there after they have failed at the school of hard knocks.

              • Starfish says:

                I thought I was the only person who thought that name was funny. My brother-in-law is a graduate of that school.

                • Someone Nicer than Jenny says:

                  Reminds me of a call I got from human resources that said “We need you to sign a form stating that you meet the criteria to receive compensation through your STD insurance.”
                  She still ended up having to say short term disability cause I had no clue what she was talking about.

                  • Ms B ♥ says:

                    I had a post-it on my desk for a few weeks reminding me to make sure all the STD paperwork was filled out and filed properly for an employee having surgery. Every time I looked at it I giggled a little.

                    • Starfish says:

                      That’s funny. At my company, I work in the STD (Semiconductor Test Division). I get a chuckle every time I see it on our letterhead or in someone’s title.

                      • Brewski says:

                        Oh wow! I suppose it would be inappropriate to ask where, so perhaps you can just say what kind of products you work on? Sounds like we’re in similar industries.

                • Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

                  No. All women would think the name to be funny and not so appropriate. LOL

              • Cloral says:

                Good job making me feel like an idiot. All I can think of is ‘Under The Influence’ which I’m sure isn’t what you’re referring to.

  6. Ms B ♥ says:

    Yay Dragon!!!

    *throws confetti*

  7. Aja says:

    What’s the deal with those ads in the videos? :|

  8. Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

    Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang oooooooooooon!!!!!

    Perfect quote from dw. One word says it all.

    • Judy says:

      There you are! I was about to go back to the last fail to look for you.

      • Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

        Aw…thanks for thinking of me Judy. I paid attention this time. *squeeze* Next time … it’s a different story…

  9. Cloral says:

    I like the announcer at the very end:

    “Might want to see if there’s a lump…”

  10. Yogurt says:

    You!! Wait there until the rain stops

  11. Cloral says:

    I like this video host better than youtube. It streams a lot faster.

  12. fluffy says:

    That guy isn’t carrying his own weight.

  13. 5 eagles "enigma" says:

    I think the person got it covered.

  14. Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

    Have a nice trip.
    See you next fall.

  15. grrrr says:

    it’s a tarp!

  16. Brewski says:

    My great-aunt is about to die at 107. She’s always been a wonderful person that anybody would love. I’m really sad! :cry:
    I visited her last year, and am so glad I did. She’s still mentally sharp.
    Sorry for such a serious post, I just learned this 1 minute ago. :(

    • Ms B ♥ says:

      *squeeeeeeze*

      Never an easy thing to deal with.

    • Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

      Aaaw! I am very sorry Brewski. eHug for you {{{{{Brewski}}}}}

    • Hamwallet says:

      wtf?!?!?! why post on failblog?!?!?!

      That said, sorry to hear the sad news. Hope she finds peace in knowing you care so much for her.

      • Ms B ♥ says:

        *thwack*

        He posts this on Fail Blog because we are his friends and care about him!

      • Brewski says:

        Perhaps I shouldn’t have, but I consider many of the people here as close friends. Can’t say the same for most all the people at work.
        Anyway, sorry all, didn’t mean to be a downer. Back to the subject, whatever it was!!

        • Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

          You should and it’s perfectly okay Brewski. Don’t listen to the … *&(#&#!!!!

        • Dragonwriter says:

          *squeeze*

          I’m so sorry, Brewski. If you’d like to talk about it, you could tell us a story about her–I’ll bet she racked up a BUNCH of ‘em in 107 years.

          And Leila’s right…don’t listen to the %@$&-head. You can always find friends and a sympathetic ear here. *another squeeze*

          • Brewski says:

            *squeeze*
            When I was little, she and her husband would play duets on the saw. They were really good! He was a practical joker. He died of cancer from smoking. When he was in to see his doctor during chemo and radiation therapy, he had a trick light bulb that lit up in his hand. He held it, and it lit up, and he said “Doc, I think I’m getting too much radiation!” He was always a riot.
            At her 100th birthday party, she gave a short speech. I’ll paraphrase a bit, I can’t remember the exact words. “When it’s sunny, I’m thankful for the nice weather. When it’s rainy, I’m thankful because it makes the plants grow.” Her choice of words was much more eloquent, but it totally sums up her glass-is-always-half-full personality!

            • Dragonwriter says:

              :)

              I like her. And her husband. Those are great stories.

              *hugs*

              • Brewski says:

                They both lived a VERY VERY difficult life. They coped through humor and a positive outlook.

                • Avis says:

                  *belated squeeze*

                • Dragonwriter says:

                  So much history in those lives! Two world wars, the Great Depression, the civil rights movement, flappers, women get the vote, prohibition, Watergate, the first black president, the polio vaccine…* They saw so much change. That must be incredible.

                  *not necessarily in chronological order. :P

                • Meggorie says:

                  Sorry to hear about your Great Aunt! I’m very close to my Great-Aunt even though neither of us speak to my Grandfather (her brother). I know how close you can be to great-relatives. The generation gap need not apply! :-)

                  *belated hugs*

        • Arthur Eld says:

          I don’t think he was too much of a %@$&-head. For occasional lurkers something like this must be a bit surprising. At least he expressed compassion.

          Anyway, Brewski, feel free to share whatever you want. We all do and that’s one of the things that make our FB a special place.

    • Judy says:

      *compassionate squeeze*
      Sorry to hear, sweetie!

    • Bearly Awake says:

      *Gentle hug*

      Nothing to say but that we’re here for you. Let us know if you need a serious moment.

    • Someone Nicer than Jenny says:

      Awww, sorry.
      When you feel up to it you can take the Party-pony out for a spin.

    • Brewski says:

      Thanks to all, I really do appreciate it. :)
      You guys are the greatest.
      Sorry for getting a bit personal.
      It’s no surprise really, I suppose. You know your days are numbered when you get to that age.

      • ZombieApocalypse says:

        My grandmother passed a few years ago at the age of 101. I consider 3 digits to be a “full life”, but I also understand that doesn’t help with the sorrow. Our best thought with you Brewski.

        • Brewski says:

          I actually had to smirk a little at getting well-wishes from a Zombie!!
          My grandma died at 103. She was bitterly unhappy through most her life. I was actually closer to her sister (the great-aunt I referred to in my post). She’s an inspirational person.
          Hopefully I got some of their longevity genes.

        • Someone Nicer than Jenny says:

          I second ZA’s sentiments. 107 does not equal unwanted.

          • 5 eagles "enigma" says:

            The great creator has a purpose Mr. Brewski, yet it still makes the death journey hard. I offer my prayers to you and your family at this time. A good elder leaves us soon, only to pass to you all that she has learned I hope.

      • Admiral Apparent says:

        My condolences, too, Brewski. Your personal stories are always welcome here.

    • Arthur Eld says:

      Oh no. *squeeze* Stiff upper lip and all that, ok?

    • Starfish says:

      Brewski, I’m sorry to hear that.
      *squeeze*

    • Chanidividus says:

      *Hugs*
      I’m sorry Brewski. It can be sad to lose a family member, but at the same time, it’s wonderful that she is so obviously loved.

    • Qwaz says:

      That’s no fun, man.
      I agree with the Zombifier, though, at least you know we’re all here for you!

    • fluffy says:

      *squeezes* Sorry to hear that, Brewski. She and her husband sound like a riot and I’m glad you got to know them so well.

    • Lurk ♀ says:

      *squeeze*
      Sorry to hear that, Brewski.

  17. Steve says:

    Keep the Viddler links! They play in my google reader feed instead of having to open another window!!

  18. Craphter says:

    Wouldnt it be nice to have a failblog forum?
    Just to share things like this…

    • Judy says:

      Yeah! And we could call it “Failures in Communication” or something. That’d be cool.

      • Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

        Fabulous idea!!!
        Who do we contact?

        • Dragonwriter says:

          And…and we could all post comments to each other and reply to those postings! Oooh, the dream…

          • Blog Ninja (Blog Monster) says:

            And we could all pick out cool little avatars...

          • Arthur Eld says:

            Let’s invent a way how we can express actions. Something like (hugs) or !embraces!

            • Blog Ninja (Blog Monster) says:

              A squish!

            • Leila ♀ - MOANday striken and still at the spa with Patrica the calf ♀v4.0 says:

              OMG!!!! So many good ideas … I have to write them all down.

              *takes copious notes of all the suggestions and mumbles* avatars, things that can help you express emotions. :idea: emoticons? No, sounds too stupid. posting comments…

              Anything else?

              • Judy says:

                Well, we shouldn’t just all be posting comments all willy-nilly, we should maybe center them around a certain time of day. Say, start with a funny theme, humorous picture, or short clip. And maybe post these, well for lack of a better name, let’s call them fails. Let’s post these fails throughout the day, so that folks from different time zones around the world can also participate.

                On second thought, forget about it. No one would go for that.

  19. Craphter says:

    Nice name Judy :)

  20. tony says:

    did he dead?

  21. Craphter says:

    hope so

  22. Elenia says:

    That wasn’t a fail – that was awesome. Even though one fell, they still got moving again fast.

  23. Kirsten says:

    It is against the Utah rules for marching bands and winter color guard shows to hold the floors up that high when running them off of the field because people have fallen. I don’t know if its true but I heard that the reason the rule is so strict is because someone got rolled up in the floor and because then don’t unroll and fold it up until sometimes hours later the person died. I am glad that the floor crew noticed that guy fall.

  24. Kjdancin says:

    I know this girl. She just got up, walked out from under the tarp, and raised her arms in victory! So proud of her! She even made it to Jimmy Kimmel and ESPN for this!

  25. nostromo says:

    I happen to know that fellow personally…coincidentally his sister for many years appeared in horror movies as the chick who inevitably falls and twists her ankle while running away from zombies and other monsters…

  26. tjeniaa says:

    I just LOVE how he wiped out and everyone kept going! Saving the pitch > helping the human. *little tear*

  27. Meredith says:

    Worst Slip-N-Slide EVER!

    • Cloral says:

      A couple of years ago, someone got in trouble with his team (I believe the Chicago White Sox) for using the rain tarp as a slip-n-slide during a rain delay.

  28. gyoza says:

    Unless the reactions of the people in the shot are the subject of the fail, cam recordings of a television showing the fail is, in and of itself, the ULTIMATE fail. Lern 2 edit, l0zerz.

  29. October Mermaid says:

    I love how one guy looks back but does nothing.

    “Just keep going! You can’t help him now, he’s already dead!”

  30. Madison says:

    I was thinking: STOP PULLING THE FRIKIN SHEET THINGY, YOU RETARDS!!!!!

  31. emory griffin says:

    oh, cincinnati. how we love you.

  32. Devin says:

    Slip and Fail

  33. alex says:

    LOL i was at that game

  34. Matt Berger says:

    I was there when that happened!! it was hilarious!

  35. Matthew L. says:

    pwned.

  36. DUDE……….EPIC FAIL………..

  37. cinsellik says:

    would they want their meats done well
