Girls seem to think the whole thing through more then guys do. Unless we’re talking about the “women” who take skanky pictures of themselves in mirrors. With their kids in the room.
I think in general guys don’t really mind if it turns out to be an embarrassing failure (eg, here). Or, “Watch what I can do” is more male ego than “Look how pretty I am”, which is more female ego (??)
Brewski, I think you are confusing what it means to be driven by your hormones for a woman. When my wife says she is hormonal, it NEVER means she is horny. It means that I need to watch out because she will either be irrational, angry, sad, or all three at the same time. When you say a dude is driven by his hormones, it usually means he is horny.
Very good point indeed AA. Maybe Brewski is right and women are better at acting like they aren’t horny (Failbloggers aside). That would make my wife the Meryl Streep (sp?) of not acting horny
*spent 45 minutes Friday night trying to explain to a “hormonal” guy why I would not have sex with him*
This conversation took place over the phone. Otherwise I would have slapped him.
I did have a nympho girlfriend in college. OMG, she would not quit!! We were once playing “Dr. Ruth’s Game of Good Sex” with another couple. It was a risque board game. My girlfriend and I had a question: “How often would you ideally like to have sex?” We wrote down our answers, then showed them. I said something like twice a week, and she said twice a day. She was so embarrassed.
Exactly!! *ducks for cover*
Seriously, women do get judged by a different set of standards, particularly in management and politics. It’s unfair. Women are either viewed as weak and spineless, or bitchy. An assertive male is simple called “confident”, or “a natural leader”. It pisses me off. The ones who succeed have to pull off an incredibly delicate balancing act.
For the record, I didn’t hang up on him because he is the younger brother of a friend from grade school. I have respect for his sister, not him. Hanging up on him might have ended up in some misunderstandings with his sister. Did I mention he is 9 years younger than his sister, who was a year behind me in school? He tried to convince me he was a year older than myself.
I have no problem with letting my hormones run rampant, I am quite choosy with whom I hop into bed with, but then once in, it’s ON until I’ve worn them out.
But if it works, you’re soooo cool. It’s worth the risk, especially when your risk/reward logic is… shall we say, fuzzy. I know alcohol makes me think I am more clever/stronger/etc than I really am. Doesn’t stop me from abusing it, tho’.
“Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud;
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud.
All men make faults, and even I in this. . .”
While I believe men might have some evolutionary baggage which makes them more likely to take risks as we were the hunters and warriors, I also believe boys and girls are raised differently. Parents (in general), intentionally or not, seem to encourage risky behavior in boys and discourage it in little girls. As the father of an infant boy, I have seen this played out many times on playgrounds. When a boy does something reckless, the parents say “oh he is such a boy” and let him fail. When girls do something similar, parents often try to protect them teach them not to be so careless. I know this is a generalization, but in my experience it seems to be pretty accurate.
woman have connection problems between the 2 sides of the brain, resulting in slower, irrational thinking, and men on average have 13 more IQ points then women
In short men are superior
*waits for pc brainwashed scum to cry about sexism*
Not always. Today I went for a walk at lunch, and when I came back one of my female coworkers was out back on a wheeled chair trying to roll down a cement incline and through a metal gate.
I left this on the last fail — but here it is again. traditional treatments have not worked. He is now on a new, theorical antibiotic treatment …
He is not getting it. He had another relapse and they cannot do a transplant when there is active Leukemia. There is actually no traditional treatment that can be used for him now. He is not strong enough for any more chemo and his Leukemia is resistant to radiation. He was discharged from the hospital into Hospice.
BUT – he is now undergoing a new antibiotic treatment. This treatment is not tested or approved. I only know about it becasue my law firm wrote the patent application for the doctor that developed it. It has only been used on one other person. It helped with the Leukemia, but that person (64 years old) dies of a viral infection.
The antibiotic is commonly available — it is used for drug resistant TB. If it is going to work we will know in the next week.
I have been on the suckiest rollercoaster the past 10 days – but being an optimistic person — and understanding the science — I am very hopeful.
My brave boy told me yesterday – either way is OK, whether he gets to stay here or goes to heaven – both will be good, in different ways.
He is at his Dad’s — long story — 14 year old boys want their Dad and this arrangement causes less drama… but I see him lots and lots. So, sorry for the serious post, but pray pray pray for the success of a new Leukemia treatment. If it works it will save more than just Matt’s life!
Thanks to all of you. Last year if someone had said you could get such love and support from people you did not “know” I would have said they were nuts. but between the LolCats and you guys I know I will always have someone available that will listen and somewhere to go to laugh and get away from the stress. I am so glad that a couple of you invaded ICHC so that us cool cats came over to give it back to you. We all made a bunch of new friends over that invasion …
May the great Creator Manitou look and see the love you have for your son Elsa_Mama and see that you are a wonderful mother and heal you son on the wings of the great eagle and the strength of the bear. My prayers I offer up for you and your son.
You and your son will be in out thoughts, Elsa_Mama. Your son is not only brave, but wonderfully caring for being able to focus on your feelings at this time. I hope you both get what you want.

Attention everyone on Failblog. Including lurkers.
I am working on a project that I won’t reveal at this time but I’m sure you all can figure it out if you think hard enough, But I was wondering if you could all send me a full picture of your Avatar through clickie or send them by e-Mail (Ask me for it if you need to send it this way)
Please please please please please send them. It would be a big help to the project without them. In fact without them it wouldn’t even be a project. It would be a mess that doesn’t make any sense.
Not exactly. I want the full picture. Doesn’t matter if its cropped. Better if its not in fact.. I don’t care where you got it. As long as its a version of it.
Well, it’ll be morning before I get through moderation, and I spelled a word wrong anyway… Take 2:

Anyway then in the address bar change the “=32&d=” to “=3200&d=”, this will make the little 32×32 image become as big as it can get.

*bows anyway*
Aiki, I’m posting here ’cause the reply button was waaaaaayyyy too far away from the comments.
The guy in question (the clearly desperate one) is a 24 year old self proclaimed “stud” who cannot fathom that there are women – straight women at that – who don’t want to sleep with him.
I call him desperate because that is all a booty call is, a desperate cry in the dark.
One of those glommed (sp?) onto me at a party when I was in college. He kept trying to convince me that I needed to have sex with him. Every time I got up & walked to a different room or different area, he followed me. It was quite pathetic. The encounter ended like this:
Him: “Come on! You KNOW you want to sleep with me — why would you turn me down?”
Me: “First of all, you’re remarkably annoying. Second, and more important, I find you completely and totally unattractive.”
I watched him deflate. It was actually quite satisfying.
I was talking to a (somewhat drunk) friend of mine outside. We had flirted for a couple of years — but the kind of flirting that happens when both of you know the flirting will never actually lead to anything. Suddenly (I blame the tequila), he decided that he needed to start hitting on me for real. Mind you, this was about 5 minutes after the other guy deflated and crept off into the night. My friend was trying to kiss me and paw at me, but I was having none of it. Finally, he said, “If you really didn’t want to sleep with me, you’d turn around and go back inside.”
So I did…. as many people told him the next day (he didn’t remember hitting on me).
I seem attract Bill Collectors with Thick Foreign Accents, Grocery Buggies with Wobbly Wheels, Lonely Large Women with Bad Teeth and the Slowest Drivers in Town on the Road in Front of Me!
Friday’s tried humiliating me into it. I laughed at him. When he asked if I was a lesbian I laughed at him. When he told me I was acting like an old lady I laughed at him. When he was giving up, but asked me if he could listen to me masturbate, I hung up on him. He’s REALLY lucky I haven’t told his big sister about the whole thing.
Getting into a battle of wits with drunk people is like picking a fight with a five year old. He wasn’t worth that effort. Had we been in the same room I’d have slapped him. Repeatedly.
To his ends yes. I’m taller than him by a few inches and out weigh him by about 30 pounds. (I’m heavier than I look- and my pic has been up before) I wouldn’t have been too worried.
Sorry, I not be near.
Have no fear, you’re a feisty one.
Surely he will run.
But if he doesn’t remember one thing;
Cops don’t like it when boys hit girls!
They have a tendency to wail upon such guys and then say things like, “Gee Sergeant, he’s so drunk,
he just kept falling down over and over again!”
Had this whole thing gone down in person, I may have called the cops. As it was it was over the phone, and I was in no danger.
That reminds me, I need to make sure I make cookies for the doormen in my building.
It’s not quite like that. it is a nice building, and I do have a lake view, but it’s not as high falutin’ as it sounds. Think of them more as security guards. Most high-rises have those, right?
As for the avatar – well it’s kinda lame but I made a joke about a sorority named the Yamma Beta Yeas. Next thing I know my best friend has made me a shirt… Fast forward a couple of years and I came across a can of yams in a game of chance – and they were the brand of Yams that were on the shirt.
Plus there is a whole side thing of Yams and Sweet Potatoes being misunderstood and frequently confused which is also a description for me.
*Wow-that was a long reply I hope this helps you be less crazy.
Jenny, this is totally incidental, but when I was a very young bird I referred to sweet potatoes as “cute potatoes”. I knew the two words (cute and sweet) were sometimes synonyms, I just didn’t know they weren’t always synonyms.
I chose my avatar ’cause I’m a big John Lennon fan, have always loved that self-portrait, and it looks good/stands out even in small size.
My full FB name (My Required Name) just comes from being a smartass when first replying and filling in the little boxes here.
My avatar is Zim, from the Nickelodeon show Invader Zim (sadly cancelled. Best dark, creepy cartoon ever!). My name is a squished-together-ness of Chani (my nick IRL) redividus (as it’s simply been that kind of year).
“Roadkill” = Back in the olden days when CB Radios were used by the general public, (mainly when making long road trips), I chose it as a “handle” to use driving from Orlando to San Diego when the Navy transferred me. So I used it here out of nostalgia.
Wow, quite a drive! Seems the Navy should get you from place to place with… well, a boat or something. (Not that Orlando to San Diego is a short boat trip.)
It was so long ago I forget that the final destination then was a base just outside of San Francisco, San Diego came later on.
If you gots a car in Orlando and you wants to has it in San Francisco, FedEx, UPS, FAX & Email aren’t an option, plus I’m not sure any of those choices even existed back then. (Al Gore hadn’t even been invented yet.)
It was a fun drive, I had a week to do it. I camped out in state parks along the way and saw lots of sights and met some people and relatives along the way.
I drove from Southern California to Connecticut in 6 days with my daughter a few years back. One of the highlights of my life. I’ll bet your trip was great.
Yes, I was young, single and had money and sporty new car.
I think I stopped in Pensacola, Fl., New Orleans, La., Dallas, Tx. (relatives), El Paso, Tx., Flagstaff, Az. (Grand Canyon), Santa Barbara, Ca., (relatives) and on to San Francisco Bay.
Was good times. I have since taken the family to most of those places.
**YAWNS** Good Night All!
Yes, but as has been pointed out in other uploads, sometimes the fact that the vid/pic is humourous blinds people to the fact that it is in fact, not a fail in the strictest sense. I live in this City, and was quite aware of this video for many many months now. I never considered it a fail per se.
Had it happened in my city I would have considered it a fail of maximum proportions. But I’m jaded.
Attempting to climb the fountain in the first place suggests a failure in thought processes.
Jenny has had a premonition!
In the future, I fear I may become a douchebag for a day.
Please don’t let this day come, I’ve led my whole life as a non-douchey person.
I’m sure that day won’t come. You’re a very nice person.
(And congrats on being such a mature, functioning member of society at such a young age. Too many people never reach that point at all.)
And for the record GBF was gonna go hide or something that day – so he was punishing himself before I even got hold of him.
I used to say that people wouldn’t commit as many minor traffic violations if police offers were allowed to give spank’n’s. Hmmm I just realizd I still feel that way.
Great Scott! - proudly wearing his new "Arthur" t-shirt says:
*Sigh* What a wonderful dream you have there. The morons get physically abused for their idiocy, and the rest of us can get spankings whenever we please!
No sane person would read this far down in the comments, but it is worth noting that this is Skidmore Fountain in Portland, OR and there was some discussion a few years back of making the fountain flow with beer to mark its anniversary. Mayhap they did a trial run and didn’t let me know?
Yes, I thought I noticed a vague British accent to the incoherent shouting, but it may have been Irish… or it may have been drunk Brits visiting Ireland (certainly not unheard of).
All that to try to avoid getting your shoes wet? That guy seriously did not deserve to walk away totally uninjured. I’m not saying it would have been good if he’d broken his neck (as the shrieking camerawoman seemed to think he had) but still…
I was referring to the comments section, not the accents, but whatever. I do agree, He should have suffered at least a broken nose, or arm or teeth… SOMETHING that wouldn’t have allowed him to just bounce right up and keep walking. I’ve probably injured my self worse than he did merely getting out of bed.
I don’t think the ICHC pussies cats are going to be enamored with it as much as you and I are, however I feel that it very appropriately fits! So “tough tittie little kittie!” THERE!
Note: When I showed it to my cat, she didn’t seem to care in the least!
It was also a book. By an author we have mentioned many times before at this site. Or, at least, we have referenced at least ONE of his books a number of times.

I think in general guys don’t really mind if it turns out to be an embarrassing failure (eg, here). Or, “Watch what I can do” is more male ego than “Look how pretty I am”, which is more female ego (??)
Good point. But isn’t embarrassing failure sorta the opposite of “look what I can do”?
No… For a guy failing is as much a win as actually doing it right. Why? Cause we are idiots sometimes.

So, women are driven by hormones too? How do they do such a good job of hiding it? Or do I just hang out around the wrong women?
Awww, look at how sweet Brewski is! The hubby makes it quite clear to me that I am frequently driven by hormones.
*grumble grumble*
Brewski, I think you are confusing what it means to be driven by your hormones for a woman. When my wife says she is hormonal, it NEVER means she is horny. It means that I need to watch out because she will either be irrational, angry, sad, or all three at the same time. When you say a dude is driven by his hormones, it usually means he is horny.
That’s not to say women are also not hormonally horny. Just look around the blog!
Ahem.
Indeed.
Very good point indeed AA. Maybe Brewski is right and women are better at acting like they aren’t horny (Failbloggers aside). That would make my wife the Meryl Streep (sp?) of not acting horny

I did have a nympho girlfriend in college. OMG, she would not quit!! We were once playing “Dr. Ruth’s Game of Good Sex” with another couple. It was a risque board game. My girlfriend and I had a question: “How often would you ideally like to have sex?” We wrote down our answers, then showed them. I said something like twice a week, and she said twice a day. She was so embarrassed.
So if a woman likes sex, she’s a “nympho” and if she doesn’t she’s hormonal and frigid??
WE CAN’T WIN WITH YOU GUYS!!!!!
(That was said silly-style, btw…just in case you thought I was really yelling.)
Hey, twice a week seems ok to me.
Exactly!! *ducks for cover*
Seriously, women do get judged by a different set of standards, particularly in management and politics. It’s unfair. Women are either viewed as weak and spineless, or bitchy.

Don’t forget the guys who assume you are a lesbian if you don’t want to sleep with them!
@Avis: Why didn’t you just hang up on that guy?
For the record, I didn’t hang up on him because he is the younger brother of a friend from grade school. I have respect for his sister, not him. Hanging up on him might have ended up in some misunderstandings with his sister. Did I mention he is 9 years younger than his sister, who was a year behind me in school?

*carefully reminds Avis not to over-think the “guys are idiots sometimes” concept*
But if it works, you’re soooo cool. It’s worth the risk, especially when your risk/reward logic is… shall we say, fuzzy. I know alcohol makes me think I am more clever/stronger/etc than I really am. Doesn’t stop me from abusing it, tho’.
“My mind is troubled, like a fountain stirred;
And I myself see not the bottom of it.”
~ Shakespeare
Then I guess it would not be such a good idea to hector you now, would it?
Did I have the right play here?
“And thou, and I, sit round about some fountain,
Looking all downwards to behold our cheeks…”
~ also Shakespeare
Sounds like a good way to spend the afternoon to me!
Graze on my lips, and if those hills are dry, stray lower where the pleasant fountains lie.
~ Wm Shakespeare
What a kinky guy!
“Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud;
Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun,
And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud.
All men make faults, and even I in this. . .”
~ Shakespeare
This just hurts my heart.
While I believe men might have some evolutionary baggage which makes them more likely to take risks as we were the hunters and warriors, I also believe boys and girls are raised differently. Parents (in general), intentionally or not, seem to encourage risky behavior in boys and discourage it in little girls. As the father of an infant boy, I have seen this played out many times on playgrounds. When a boy does something reckless, the parents say “oh he is such a boy” and let him fail. When girls do something similar, parents often try to protect them teach them not to be so careless. I know this is a generalization, but in my experience it seems to be pretty accurate.

Is that you Jules?
(Elsa – how’s your son’s treatments going?)
I left this on the last fail — but here it is again. traditional treatments have not worked. He is now on a new, theorical antibiotic treatment …
He is not getting it. He had another relapse and they cannot do a transplant when there is active Leukemia. There is actually no traditional treatment that can be used for him now. He is not strong enough for any more chemo and his Leukemia is resistant to radiation. He was discharged from the hospital into Hospice.
BUT – he is now undergoing a new antibiotic treatment. This treatment is not tested or approved. I only know about it becasue my law firm wrote the patent application for the doctor that developed it. It has only been used on one other person. It helped with the Leukemia, but that person (64 years old) dies of a viral infection.
The antibiotic is commonly available — it is used for drug resistant TB. If it is going to work we will know in the next week.
I have been on the suckiest rollercoaster the past 10 days – but being an optimistic person — and understanding the science — I am very hopeful.
My brave boy told me yesterday – either way is OK, whether he gets to stay here or goes to heaven – both will be good, in different ways.
He is at his Dad’s — long story — 14 year old boys want their Dad and this arrangement causes less drama… but I see him lots and lots. So, sorry for the serious post, but pray pray pray for the success of a new Leukemia treatment. If it works it will save more than just Matt’s life!
My thoughts and prayers go to you and your son.
*SQUEEZE!*
Best wishes Elsa! We’ll be pulling for you both.
I’m sure I speak for everyone here (that matters:)) when I say we all wish the very best for both you and Matt.
Thanks to all of you. Last year if someone had said you could get such love and support from people you did not “know” I would have said they were nuts. but between the LolCats and you guys I know I will always have someone available that will listen and somewhere to go to laugh and get away from the stress. I am so glad that a couple of you invaded ICHC so that us cool cats came over to give it back to you. We all made a bunch of new friends over that invasion …
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers Elsa_Mama.
I’m glad, too, Elsa_Mama. Sometimes things that seem cloaked in badness come out so well in the end.
*crosses wings, talons, legs and eyes*

May the great Creator Manitou look and see the love you have for your son Elsa_Mama and see that you are a wonderful mother and heal you son on the wings of the great eagle and the strength of the bear. My prayers I offer up for you and your son.
You and your son will be in out thoughts, Elsa_Mama. Your son is not only brave, but wonderfully caring for being able to focus on your feelings at this time. I hope you both get what you want.

Hey, Jules, thanks for the advice in the last fail. I did, I had one and the program you suggested kicked butt. Thanks.
No problem, I love malwarebytes. Every virus/ spyware I had to deal on multiple computers dies an instant horrible death.

No excuse – I started re-re-re-reading the Guide last weekend.
As you should. I still laugh whenever I think of God’s Final Message to Humanity.
I guess atheism makes all religion jokes funny.
I don’t know, I was raised Lutheran and I find most religion jokes funny. Of course I rejected Lutheranisms beliefs and have substituted my own.
Aren’t most Lutheran beliefs just to lead a normal, simple life? or is that Confucianism?
In the vein of sh!t happens, Lutheranism is sh!it happens because I deserve it.
One is supposed to be sorry for life. To acknowledge oneself as a worthless excuse of a life.
Sounds happy, no?
That’s terrible.
Does this mean all those “Emo-Goth” kids are pretending to practice Lutheranism?
It’s more popular than I thought.
I never thought of it that way. They would probably die of embarrassment if that ever came to be public knowledge! I think I’m going to get a good giggle out this for a long while!
And now whenever I see one of these children, a conversation along these lines will more than likely occur:
“Excuse me, are you an extremist?”
“I’m sorry?”
“You know, Lutheranism. You seem to take it very seriously.”
“OMG! You found me out!!!” *Dies of embarassment*
“Oh… Oh my.” *Runs before anyone sees him with a dead body*
I was thinking more along the lines of they would die if they ever took the time to figure out and realize the correlation. But that works too!
Oops. But one less Crazy Extremist in the world, right?
Right!
Wow. I feel like a FailBlog Terrorist or something (An image I don’t necessarily want). Telletubbies, Goths, what have I become!?

Evry followup comment proves my point. Trying so hard to be funny with the internet-slang garbage. Still not funny. Still nothing original.

Attention everyone on Failblog. Including lurkers.
I am working on a project that I won’t reveal at this time but I’m sure you all can figure it out if you think hard enough, But I was wondering if you could all send me a full picture of your Avatar through clickie or send them by e-Mail (Ask me for it if you need to send it this way)
Please please please please please send them. It would be a big help to the project without them. In fact without them it wouldn’t even be a project. It would be a mess that doesn’t make any sense.
Ummm… I am reliably informed that there is a way to “grab” said avatars. Both with pcs and macs. Try that first.
Not big enough.
Wouldn’t that require us to tell you EXACTLY where we got the picture and where to crop it?
Not exactly. I want the full picture. Doesn’t matter if its cropped. Better if its not in fact.. I don’t care where you got it. As long as its a version of it.
And when will this project be revealed to us?
When I get enough of the Avatars to make it look AMAZING and fun.
If you will excuse me, I a going for a bike ride be back in half an hour.
Later!
You may want to talk to Aiki and see if he can help you find a secure way to do your ‘project’ I am not entirely opposed – but very cautious.
Well, it’ll be morning before I get through moderation, and I spelled a word wrong anyway… Take 2:

You grab the Avatar, drag it to another tab & drop it there.
Or get the properties of the Avatar in question by right clicking it
Anyway then in the address bar change the “=32&d=” to “=3200&d=”, this will make the little 32×32 image become as big as it can get.
That’s what I do to look at everyone’s avatars.
Oh well, I hope you’re still around to see this.

…AND… Roadkill is bowing down there, too! What timing!
Holy crap! I was taking it for granted that you couldn’t see stuff cause it was so small. Ooops
And how do we send them?And where?
Yeah, and I can’t really send you just a link, because I modified my avatar on microsoft paint (yeah…I know, eck) and would have to send it via email.
Ahh. I love the later hours in FB.
Except for the emptiness, of course.
Aiki, I’m posting here ’cause the reply button was waaaaaayyyy too far away from the comments.
The guy in question (the clearly desperate one) is a 24 year old self proclaimed “stud” who cannot fathom that there are women – straight women at that – who don’t want to sleep with him.
I call him desperate because that is all a booty call is, a desperate cry in the dark.
One of those glommed (sp?) onto me at a party when I was in college. He kept trying to convince me that I needed to have sex with him. Every time I got up & walked to a different room or different area, he followed me. It was quite pathetic. The encounter ended like this:
Him: “Come on! You KNOW you want to sleep with me — why would you turn me down?”
Me: “First of all, you’re remarkably annoying. Second, and more important, I find you completely and totally unattractive.”
I watched him deflate. It was actually quite satisfying.
*Adds nightshayde’s post to “Badass Comeback” Notebook*
I was talking to a (somewhat drunk) friend of mine outside. We had flirted for a couple of years — but the kind of flirting that happens when both of you know the flirting will never actually lead to anything. Suddenly (I blame the tequila), he decided that he needed to start hitting on me for real. Mind you, this was about 5 minutes after the other guy deflated and crept off into the night. My friend was trying to kiss me and paw at me, but I was having none of it. Finally, he said, “If you really didn’t want to sleep with me, you’d turn around and go back inside.”
So I did…. as many people told him the next day (he didn’t remember hitting on me).
I want to hang out with you at parties! You and Dragon both.
Well – nobody other than my husband has hit on me for quite a while now. I’m neither as young nor as hawt as I used to be. *wistful sigh*
*Hits on nightshayde*
I know it’s not the same as when a guy does it…
Rawr?
In my book, there’s nothing wrong with being hit upon by a female. It’s happened to me, and I’ve been quite flattered.
I fully agree. Women tend to be more particular than men about who they hit on, so it can be very flattering.
I concur w/ Chan.
Me too. I am a chick magnet. I swear, if I were a lesbian I would date SO much more than I do. Women think I rawk. Most men think I’m terrifying.
(I do not, of course, refer to the men on this blog.)
I get the feeling that a lot of the women on this blog have similar experiences. I’m not entirely sure we represent the rest of society though.
I tend to attract more toothless fisherman than I do woman.
*suddenly wonders if I smell*
*hides in corner*
I tend to attract no one. Maybe that's why I like Fail Blog.AA are you in the curio cabinet?
*pokes head out from corner*
Noop! He just knew I was over here!
*hugs hide*
I seem attract Bill Collectors with Thick Foreign Accents, Grocery Buggies with Wobbly Wheels, Lonely Large Women with Bad Teeth and the Slowest Drivers in Town on the Road in Front of Me!
You never know, ‘ Lonely Large Women with Bad Teeth’ could be me.
Ya never know, they might be attracted to me because I flirt with them ‘ Lonely Large Women with Bad Teeth’ .
*snork*
Friday’s tried humiliating me into it. I laughed at him. When he asked if I was a lesbian I laughed at him. When he told me I was acting like an old lady I laughed at him. When he was giving up, but asked me if he could listen to me masturbate, I hung up on him. He’s REALLY lucky I haven’t told his big sister about the whole thing.
Eeewww, that last request of his was creepy!
*Agrees completely*
Scott’s here!
Hey, Nice shirt!
Why thank you. It was courtesy of Bearly!
Where is she anyway? I have a new score to report on that game of hers.
He is exactly the type of guy I avoid when I’m out. He is the epitome of douchebag. Out of respect to his sister I did not read him the riot act.
Sounds like you were EXTREMELY restrained to me! Of course I’ve never been able to relate to that kind of behavior in other guys.
Getting into a battle of wits with drunk people is like picking a fight with a five year old. He wasn’t worth that effort. Had we been in the same room I’d have slapped him. Repeatedly.
… that might have proved counter-productive.
To his ends yes. I’m taller than him by a few inches and out weigh him by about 30 pounds. (I’m heavier than I look- and my pic has been up before) I wouldn’t have been too worried.
yes, you’re correct about drunks. Slapping him probably would have been much more satisfying though!
Indubitably!
Go ahead and slap the p!ss outta him Avis. If he so much as raises a hand to defend himself I’ll hogtie him for ya till you’re all done.
Are you in the Chicagoland area? ‘Cause I might just take you up on that!
Sorry, I not be near.
Have no fear, you’re a feisty one.
Surely he will run.
But if he doesn’t remember one thing;
Cops don’t like it when boys hit girls!
They have a tendency to wail upon such guys and then say things like, “Gee Sergeant, he’s so drunk,
he just kept falling down over and over again!”
Ok, Roadkill? That made me laugh! I have to say though… I try to avoid confrontations that may involve the cops. That can always go the wrong way.
One order of police fail coming up.
Some of the gals I know have gotten some nice dates out of calling the law on some idiot. Might be worth a shot?
Had this whole thing gone down in person, I may have called the cops. As it was it was over the phone, and I was in no danger.
That reminds me, I need to make sure I make cookies for the doormen in my building.
SNTJ (or Jenny) Why in the world is your Avatar a can of:
SUGARY SAM®
GOLDEN CUT
SWEET POTATOES
YAMS IN SYRUP
DOORMEN?
You must be some fancy to live in one of them high class skyscraper edifices with a doorman like they got on TV!
It’s not quite like that. it is a nice building, and I do have a lake view, but it’s not as high falutin’ as it sounds. Think of them more as security guards. Most high-rises have those, right?
She has a window too! Lucky girl.
As for the avatar – well it’s kinda lame but I made a joke about a sorority named the Yamma Beta Yeas. Next thing I know my best friend has made me a shirt… Fast forward a couple of years and I came across a can of yams in a game of chance – and they were the brand of Yams that were on the shirt.
Plus there is a whole side thing of Yams and Sweet Potatoes being misunderstood and frequently confused which is also a description for me.
*Wow-that was a long reply I hope this helps you be less crazy.
“misunderstood and frequently confused”
At long last, I have found my FAIL Blog soul mate!
*virtually happy dances*
Jenny, this is totally incidental, but when I was a very young bird I referred to sweet potatoes as “cute potatoes”. I knew the two words (cute and sweet) were sometimes synonyms, I just didn’t know they weren’t always synonyms.
‘That’s cute potatoes!’
Nope I don’t think that phrase will catch on here.
So, why do you guys have the avatars/names that you do?
I chose my avatar ’cause I’m a big John Lennon fan, have always loved that self-portrait, and it looks good/stands out even in small size.
My full FB name (My Required Name) just comes from being a smartass when first replying and filling in the little boxes here.
My avatar is Zim, from the Nickelodeon show Invader Zim (sadly cancelled. Best dark, creepy cartoon ever!). My name is a squished-together-ness of Chani (my nick IRL) redividus (as it’s simply been that kind of year).
That’s funny I had forgotten what MRN stood for – I remember seeing it when scanning through old posts.
I never caught Invader Zim, but I am really picky about my cartoons so there is a good chance that it wouldn’t be for me anyway.
“Roadkill” = Back in the olden days when CB Radios were used by the general public, (mainly when making long road trips), I chose it as a “handle” to use driving from Orlando to San Diego when the Navy transferred me. So I used it here out of nostalgia.
Wow, quite a drive! Seems the Navy should get you from place to place with… well, a boat or something. (Not that Orlando to San Diego is a short boat trip.)
It was so long ago I forget that the final destination then was a base just outside of San Francisco, San Diego came later on.
If you gots a car in Orlando and you wants to has it in San Francisco, FedEx, UPS, FAX & Email aren’t an option, plus I’m not sure any of those choices even existed back then. (Al Gore hadn’t even been invented yet.)
It was a fun drive, I had a week to do it. I camped out in state parks along the way and saw lots of sights and met some people and relatives along the way.
I drove from Southern California to Connecticut in 6 days with my daughter a few years back. One of the highlights of my life. I’ll bet your trip was great.
I drove from one side of Atlanta to the other. Phew!!!
*Ok Goodnight my Fail-friends*
Yes, I was young, single and had money and sporty new car.
I think I stopped in Pensacola, Fl., New Orleans, La., Dallas, Tx. (relatives), El Paso, Tx., Flagstaff, Az. (Grand Canyon), Santa Barbara, Ca., (relatives) and on to San Francisco Bay.
Was good times. I have since taken the family to most of those places.
**YAWNS** Good Night All!
I can’t see this being a Fail as such. This is the fountain on Grand Parade, Cork, ireland, and the person in it was blind drunk at the time.
Is it a fail to fall over when drunk? Not quite. Perhaps an Upload Fail is in order?
Is it perhaps a failure to be blind drunk?
And besides, the fails are voted on. You know, on the voting page?
Yes, but as has been pointed out in other uploads, sometimes the fact that the vid/pic is humourous blinds people to the fact that it is in fact, not a fail in the strictest sense. I live in this City, and was quite aware of this video for many many months now. I never considered it a fail per se.
Had it happened in my city I would have considered it a fail of maximum proportions. But I’m jaded.
Attempting to climb the fountain in the first place suggests a failure in thought processes.
It’s a fail – the dude almost killed himself trying to be cool/funny/athletic/manly/coordinated. Must I go on????
I totally agree with you.
Hi Avis. On a scale of 1 to how fuking fail does this have to be what would you rate it?
On a one to ten scale? With ten being a total failure? I’d rate this a 15.
I’d say a 27, but I am being a little on the harsh side.
Yow. That’s a pretty hardcore fail for a 27.
shewt, am i the only person here that thinks this is an accidental gymnastics win?
Judging by your lack of responses… Yes.
Good call, Qwaz.
Jenny, are you having as hard a time as I am believing that Qwaz is only 14?
Yes, but I struggled with that Idea w/ GBF or BFF. I keep wondering if thet work for Dateline
How old are GBF and BFF?
GBF and BFF are one and the same, and he is 15. He should be coming up on 16 relatively soon though.
Qwaz is only 14???
15!
Indeed.
I threatened to spank GBF once and got the age lecture.
Oh my.
*Backs up to a corner to ensure a protected rumpus*
1st – I don’t like the idea of jail (even if it is Martha Stewart style)
2nd – you don’t deserve it (yet)
Jenny has had a premonition!
In the future, I fear I may become a douchebag for a day.
Please don’t let this day come, I’ve led my whole life as a non-douchey person.
I’m sure that day won’t come.
You’re a very nice person.
(And congrats on being such a mature, functioning member of society at such a young age. Too many people never reach that point at all.)
Thank you, that means a lot. I think It’s just from being brought up in a household that’s remained stable all my life.
We all have douchbaggy moments. I dropped my 1st fake f*bomb on here earlier because I was frustrated about something(s) in real life.
And for the record GBF was gonna go hide or something that day – so he was punishing himself before I even got hold of him.
I used to say that people wouldn’t commit as many minor traffic violations if police offers were allowed to give spank’n’s. Hmmm I just realizd I still feel that way.
Well said Chan! Besides Qwaz, you’re hanging out with such great people!
If the policemen in a certain area are extremely hot though, mightn’t that increase the temptation to speed for some?
Is it warm in here, or is it just me?
Uhhh. NS is late for the nightshift again. This is the 3rd time this week she has gotten pulled over!
*Sigh* What a wonderful dream you have there. The morons get physically abused for their idiocy, and the rest of us can get spankings whenever we please!
Um…. someone need a spanking
? someone female ?
*tries not to bob head while giggling, so an accidental spankin’ isn’t thrust my way*
In my experience, my dear, NOTHING is “accidental.”
Fate, The Great Spirit, Karma, and the Cycles of Cause and Effect within the Circle of life are all contributing factors in this thing called Life.
That and the stupid things we unwittingly do.
Hey, nice front handspring!
*pokes head in*
Hi all, hope today was fun for you all and hope there weren’t too many trolls to spoil your fun.
*squeezes all around*
Howdy!
(Trolls are a bad topic for me today)
So I’ll just give you a
*SQEEEZE*
No sane person would read this far down in the comments, but it is worth noting that this is Skidmore Fountain in Portland, OR and there was some discussion a few years back of making the fountain flow with beer to mark its anniversary. Mayhap they did a trial run and didn’t let me know?
Others have already said that this is in Cork. One person claimed to have been there. So…..
Cork?
County Cork, Ireland?
That’d be the one.
Yes, I thought I noticed a vague British accent to the incoherent shouting, but it may have been Irish… or it may have been drunk Brits visiting Ireland (certainly not unheard of).
All that to try to avoid getting your shoes wet? That guy seriously did not deserve to walk away totally uninjured. I’m not saying it would have been good if he’d broken his neck (as the shrieking camerawoman seemed to think he had) but still…
I was referring to the comments section, not the accents, but whatever. I do agree, He should have suffered at least a broken nose, or arm or teeth… SOMETHING that wouldn’t have allowed him to just bounce right up and keep walking. I’ve probably injured my self worse than he did merely getting out of bed.
Hi
Hello?
A penguin named Corn?
Odd, quite odd.
creamed?
By the way nice avatar Roadkill. Bump Bump!
I don’t think the ICHC
pussiescats are going to be enamored with it as much as you and I are, however I feel that it very appropriately fits! So“tough tittie little kittie!”THERE!Note: When I showed it to my cat, she didn’t seem to care in the least!
Well ZA eats people’s brains and we have managed to work with him on that so it may be okay unless you striking them with that stick.
Bump, bump.
*looks around*
stick?
*look around again*
nope, no stick
pussies, “tough tittie little kittie!”Look harder my dear, and you to can find a stick.
*Is it bad grammar to say ‘look harder’?*
‘harder’

seems to happen whenever you are nearby
*proudly looks harder*
*and hopes someone rewards my effort*
I have the overwhelming desire to start yelling “No fair! No fair!”
Internet points to those who guess the movie I’m quoting.
*clueless look*
*looks*
*Pets the Sematery*
What?The movie. It’s Pet Sematary.
Ohh, never heard of it. Us young ones...I tell ya.DING DING DING!!!! We have a winner!!! That would be the movie!
That scene by the way creeped me out in a big way.
It was also a book. By an author we have mentioned many times before at this site. Or, at least, we have referenced at least ONE of his books a number of times.
I googled the answer easily, but since I didn’t see the movie or read the book it didn’t feel right to respond.
Really? I tried that too but didn't find it.Here was my search terms:
“No fair! No fair!” movie quote
The first three responses were Pet Sematary.
were^
Hmmm… I guess it helps to type movie ‘quote’ I didn’t google it though until BN couldn’t find it.
Are you trying to scare me to death????
*a 2 yr old boy drown in our pool today, and I already have the creeps*
Hello
There once was a lad from Caha Mountain,
who managed to climb on a fountain,
But when trying to climb down,
he slipped and fell like a clown,
and failblog covered all the recountin’
do me next
Me after Jenny Mr Limerick Man please
Maybe he is doing research
Ok 5_eagles
There once was a Failer named 5_eagles
whose name only rhymed with “beagles.”
It was tough but still I tried
and behold, Google supplied
also the word “paralegals!”
*bows in anticipation of thunderous applause*
*coughs*
gee
*Gets flat shovel*
*Brings roadkill back to blog*
Actually, we all care – some of us just like to see people squirm. Kinda in your nature if you frequent this site, I guess.
*pokes at MRN with a stick*
Ow! Why is the Someone Nicer than Jenny down below nicer than this Someone Nicer than Jenny? Are you actually Someone Nicer than Someone Nicer than Jenny? And how can you carry a shovel and poke me with a stick at the same time? You’re not actually poking me with that shovel, are you?
I am poking you with the handle of the shovel
cookie?
*lifts head off of shovel somewhat*
“just like to see people squirm”
that and ADHD and some narcissism and a wicked humorous streak and maybe an unfulfilled need for psychotherapy and a creative imagination and insomnia and no real friends and a bunch of other stuff

What the HELL is it with the damned moderation filter not liking the word im@ge or any form of it? TOO WEIRD!
I still forget that one (see something up above). !mage (im@ge, whatever) is an HTML word that could be used maliciously, so it’s blocked until (I guess) a human can look at the post to see if it’s of evil intent. Probably no humans looking at the posts at 10:25 pm PDT, so it sits in automation-imposed moderation until morning (?)
That was fantastic thank you very much I will copy it and save it Mr Roadkill.
Sure Jenny! I’ll DO YA!
I mean try to make a Limerick in your honor.
There once was Someone Nicer than Jenny
who works hard for every penny
to buy Sweet Potatoes
which not everyone knows
are really Yams if you’ve ever seen any.
Yay!
*much loud applause for Roadkill*
Nice – but – am I being a tuber pedantic if I point out that the opposite is the error – what we call yams in the US are usually sweet potatoes.
yes
OK, we got to the root of that issue pretty fast.
Just watch out for Judy and her fingerling.
OK, Judy – Jeff Dunham concert in 50 words. Go!
(And by concert. I mean, performance)
(and by ., I mean, , )
(I’ll stop now, even if it’s still wrong.)
It’s late – we are forgiving MRN.
Beat me, I’ve earned it.
There once was a Dragonwriter
who never ever needed a lighter.
Flames *FOOMED* from her mouth
but never down south,
and she always made the room much brighter!
*ducks*
short and sweet – like me
*raises eyebrow*
*squeeze*
injury
This is a test.
This is only a test.
If this had been a real comment, you would be laughing now.
Test complete.
As you were.
*stifles a giggle*
*looks guilty*
*uses party favor*
*looks innocent*
Uh, just read your linkie…sorry to hear about Sooty.
*squeeze*
And you can pass that on to KCTailkinker.
holy cow lol
Serves that madridista-bastard right…
Wow, that’s ironic… When I was watching that clip I was listening to Pope De Fools at the same time. Is my computer sending a message to this video, per chance?
These were mortal combat ninja movements
THANKS for switching to viddler! The videos are embedded in the RSS feed and are directly viewable in my feed reader. Couldn’t do that with youtube and the performance is MUCH better!
Hahahaha! Great to on failblog and see your local drunk spot on the first page. I dont even know whats going on with his head and neck though
that’s in my hometown!!!
FAIL? That was an acrobacy win!
Ok, here’s what was going through his mind:
“Oh yeah! I’m gonna jump straight into that fountain! Oh god, that’s far down. I better sit down and get my ass wet. Ok, and for the moment you’ve all been waiting for… *jumps* OH GOD!! *lands head first* Ok, just gotta keep my cool… How about a backflip! Oh yeah! I’m sooooo smooth!!!!!”
Where I come from, that maneuver is called a “Scorpion”
Do a barrelroll !
This guy MUST have been in Beijing 08, with that kind of skills.
ahh mad, dats on patrick st, never seen cork on dis ting b4, madd lol
nice dismount…..

langer gets what langer deserves.
If I had a nickel for every time thats happened to me….
0:21 sounds like a bad pokemon call
I love the fact that there is a police man in the background watching at the start HA HA HA, btw before anyone says it, its a police-cyclist…yes we have them in the UK
Ha. the chick in the slowed down version sounds like an elite off Halo.
I think he stepped on a whale, listen in slomo…..you’ll hear it:O
