MTV…Fail right there..
Why do you think they call it break dancing?
If he didn’t break his HIP he can HOP it off.
wow… that’s just terrible. my god.
apparently he was trying to do the windmill dance in a small closed area.
Ummm….can I get a hint?
He hit the table leg with his head.
You got your head on my table leg!
my head apologises to your table.
Holy crap, did he die?
YOU GOT YOUR TABLE LEG ON MY HEAD
You know, 20 years ago MTV was great. And it annoys me that not only do I remember when MTV was great, but I was in high school then!
As long as you don’t remember that high school was great.
*Points and laughs at the old timers*
Only thing about High school was that it was appropriately named.
^ why i don’t remember it
THATS FUNNY LOLOLOLOLOLOL
High school felt like being put through a grater. I still have scars.
I would rather eat glass than go back through high school.
.
*squeezes avis*
I think I’m the only person I know who loved high school. High school was AWESOME for me.
*squeezes Avis and velvet*
Nope, I loved high school. I still keep in touch with high school friends.
You guys are so weird.
HS was a nightmare for me especially since I didn’t speak any English.
hehehe… I breezed through high school on mind-expanding drugs, straight A’s, and a raised eyebrow. ‘Twas a bit o’ silliness, I gotta say…
I loved High school but didn’t realize it until I was gone, and missed my friends, they were the best thing about that whole town. I got A’s with no effort at all.
*squeeezes* WIK – yep, same here. And all I really wanted to do was play electric guitar – which I did for serious thereafter. Turned down various and sundry scholarships and PLUGGED IN!! LOL
All my friends were in a garage band! how cool were we? They all still play I think but only one that I talk to still is doing the dream for real, his band is great and I’m happy for him, even if he is in NY now and I never get to see him.
*squeezes DW*
.
I had one guy ask me every day, 5 times a day, from 4th grade through 10th grade “Who beat you with the ugly stick?” and everyone around me would laugh.
.
Not a fun memory. Still have self-!mage issues.
.
I even did a photo shoot for Regis Hairstyles and had my photo on the wall, and I don’t think they use ugly girls. My wedding day is the only day I have ever really felt pretty.
You are a beautiful person, Velvet.
*squeeze*
Yes, what he said. *squeeze n hug*
Aw, thanks guys! *monster-sized squeezes*
Velvet, it’s my experience that MOST women don’t think they’re attractive – even the ones that are actually drop-dead gorgeous.
I suspect that you’re delightful
*SQUEEEEEEEZE*
I had moments like that in high school. At one point no one talked to me for two weeks as they thought I had some highly contagious disease (thanks to a rumor and the inability to hear the word “genetic”), and I mean the crowds parted like the red sea when I walked to class and the whispers followed me everywhere. Yeah, I pretty much hated high school.
People are so horrible to each other sometimes.
*squeeze*
I had a very similar experience in elementary. Fortunately I didn’t go to Jr. High with most of them.
I’ve seen your pic. You are GAWJISS, girl.
Elementary school was like that for me. I was incredibly tall, awkward, spindly, and I had HYOOOGE ears that stuck out. I had several nicknames…Dumbo, Mickey Mouse. One boy always called me “Spider” because he said I had spider legs. I had a mouth full of braces and big glasses. Ye gods, I was geeky.
My nickname in school was “Porkchop” because of my last name. Others were “Pickup,” “Potato Chips,” and “Piranha-head.” I’m still trying to figure out the last one, because it’s nowhere near what my name was.
I go by one name and one name only – Ham. That’s not my real name, but it might as well be. Some people actually think it is.
Sounds like me in elementary school. I wasn’t tall, but I was skinny and I wore glasses. Plus I was smarter than pretty much anyone else in my school. I was dubbed “Clark Kent” (largely because of the glasses).
High school rocked for me. I came out of my shell — I was in the Madrigal (singing) group, and on swim team. It was fun!
I sprouted boobs in fourth grade. I do not remember my latter years of elementary school fondly.
The appropriate answer to that ugly-stick question is “That’s sweet, but no matter how many times you say that my self-esteem is never going to be low enough to go out with YOU.”
Kids are SOOOO cruel. I bet you Karma made him pay for saying that to you velvet. He is probably a fat loser right now.
SO TRUE! Facebook is great for schadenfreude…
Hehehe. I’m thinking about a certain H.D. right now who always wanted to prove that he was better at sports than me (only just), for some reason couldn’t stand me because he didn’t get my sense of humour and hit me on the head once with the knob of an umbrella. I found his pic on Facebook recently.
*goes to check it out again*
*points and laughs*
Great story!
Only… what’s an H.D.? Sorry…
I would like to take the opportunity to apologise to my FB friends for being a stranger lately. In two days I will also be off on a three week holiday after which I hope to return in full capacity.
Hehe! I thought it was a thing, not a person’s initials! Sorry, but then again, it sounds like he deserved it…
*Looks up name on Facebook*
*Sees man from Belgium with seriously receding hairline*
*Is happy for Czuhc*
Safe travels, czuhc. I look forward to hearing of your adventures.
Bring us back a good story, czuhc! Happy trails!
You found him!
H.D. = Huge D*ck, and not in a complementary way.
Sorry, had to let that out. Five years of frustration. Will get back to nice mode now.
*points and laughs with the group, wonders if he will ever google his name and realize that people from all over the world are giggling at his hairline.*
Bullys suck.
Thanks ,Admiral and Dragon, will do!
Bye, beloved FB!
See you all in three weeks!
*blows Czuhc kisses*
Happy trails, my friend!
Good Journey!
*sets the kitchen timer for 30,240*
*waves*
Safe travels czuhc!!!
*squeeze*
Can’t wait to see you when you get back! *Waves*
@czuhc: Veel plezier, en gauw weer hier!
Ah, high school. I remember it well. Seems like it was only weeks ago…
*snork*
*ruffles hammykins’ hair*
HAMMYKINS!
*squeeeze*
Good to see you! Um…you’re hair is all messy, though.
*hands over a comb*
*grins at the Admiral*
Screw combs. I prefer the adventurous, roguish, devil-may-care look of ruffled hair.
*facepalm*
Thanks for not pointing out my egregious grammar mistake there. It’s been a while, but…
*takes deeeeeep breath*
*plunges head into the bukkit*
Heh. I missed it, too, even after reading it twice.
*splashes face with bukkit contents*
Pleh! Needs more salt.
…and fewer turnips? :p
We need a
that’s not smiling.
High school was somewhat of an improvement on junior high. That’s as far as I’ll go.
I remember when MTV was great…my mommy wouldn’t let me watch it…
Hey the old Smileys are back here too! I guess that is OK — but now there is no :monkey: face — I loved that :monkey: face!!
There, there…
*pat pat pat*
We’ll always have the :monkey: face in our hearts.
I remember when MTV had music on it.
*shakes fist at reality TV shows*
Is it just me or do reality TV stars have more exciting lives than regular folk? They’re always going horse back riding or surfing or something and I’m just sitting at home all lonely watching them.
The next round of reality shows will feature people sitting around and posting to Failblog.
I would watch it!!!
I wouldn’t. I’m not exactly exciting to watch typing on my computer…and I don’t !magine it would be different for most of our posters…no offense to my lovely FB friends.
My ‘puter is in the living room and I live with my mother in law, hubby, baby, 3 cats and 3 dogs with a constant stream of family members coming and going. It gets pretty weird some days.
I shout and throw darts at my keys to type, so it gets is pretty exciting around here!
*snicker*
actually, i wouldnt watch it either…
And this comes from Ms B, renowned for her incessant nekkidness???
SHHHHHHHHH!
>snorklestein!<
I know we all eLove each other but do we really want to see each other in our birthday suits?
I refuse to answer on the grounds that…
Oh, nebber mind.
I would personally embarrass myself for that opportunity.
Count me in!
*orders a case of Cabo Wabo*
*polishes camera lense*
*glues clothes on skin*
Okay…but you guys might regret it.
I always thought they should do a ‘real world’ season in a small town instead of the city.
I can think of a few places that would be good for that. They should also make the “contestants” figure out for themselves what to do, and how they’re gonna pay for it.
Oh yeah – jobs at normal places etc.
Once again another piece of brilliant insight, well done technicolor!!!
That takes me back. Do they even have any music on anymore? Bah, who cares. I only watch the Discovery Channels(discovery, animal planet, discovery health, science channel, etc.) and Travel Channel.
That’s a safe bet Jimbo. I least I learn something when I watch them. Cooking channel isn’t bad either — as long as that Rachel Ray isn’t on it.
Mike Rowe is my hero.
*in a raspy voice*
I am going to make you a complete meal in under 30 minutes!
What I am sick as a dog w/sinusitis.
I don’t like watching Rachel Ray either, but to be fair, the voice thing isn’t her fault. She had to have surgery on her vocal cords.
I wish she would have surgery on her personality…
Opps! my inner b1tch is showing!
It’s those stupid words she makes up that drive me up the wall.
Just so long as she doesn’t drive you into the wall…
I wouldn’t want to be nailed by … her (?)
Aren’t most of the cooking show hosts full of themselves? I find RR’s recipes to be simple to make and tasty.
Now, my all-time favorite has to be Alton Brown.
I love love LOVE! Alton! Another of my favorites is Dinner Impossible with Robert Irvine.
Like the barefoot contessa … she is a little pretentious. RR’s recipes all look the same to me–like someone threw up. *sorry* Then you have the lady w/white hair who puts butter in EVERYTHING. My heart can’t handle watching it.
I think Robert Irvine is an ass…can’t stand watching him. I love Alton, though! I got to see him once in a Georgia mall…he was giving a demonstration. It was kewl!
…the lady w/white hair who puts butter in EVERYTHING.
Hee hee! That must be Paula Deen. She has a recipe that puts a fully-loaded burger on 2 Krispy Kreme donuts.
This link got eaten the 1st time:
www(dot)seriouseats(dot)com/2007/04/paula-deen-is-trying-to-kill-u.html
I don’t love to watch Paula Deen on tv – but she has some good southern recipes in her cookbooks.
Sandra Lee and her table-scapes makes me wanna barf. She even matches her kitchen curtains to the meal. WTF is that all about?
Sandra Lee matches her drinks to the color of her tablescapes. Also, she is incapable of correctly pronouncing aquarium. There’s a YouTube Vid out there somewhere that backs me up on BOTH my statements.
Rachael Ray innuendo machine clicky and Sandra Lee remix below.
I know you’d love The Universe on the History Channel Jimbo.
I have watched some of that. I like the history channel, when they aren’t the hitler channel. That foolishness gets old.
I remember protesting the removal of mtv from our cable options back when it was great. If only we knew…
During the ’91 Gulf war MTV got bumped by CNN where I live. I was very upset.
We call it watching CNN horror stories. If you watch for just a short while you are bound to get a new fear of something.
That’s any local news station during sweeps!
you’re right, it was awesome, and it was a long time ago…. I’m not that old!!
don’t they have like 3 chanles now and only one still plays music videos?
So, is BET racist for not having any caucasian Americans on it? What about all the spanich channels? Just curious.
*spanish
I thought you were talking about the spinach channel only featuring dark, leafy green vegetables.
I was. I demand to know why.
Yeah! What about cauliflower and beets?? They are soooooo under-represented in the American media.
And don’t get me started about people calling some vegetables “fruit” in a derogatory manner. What’s wrong with fruit? I love fruit.
Fruit does have a seedy side.
*Squeeze with a plum*
What’s wrong with people who put tomatoes in the fridge? Especially if there is a ketchup bottle in there.
Mmm…tomato…nice fruit that.
.
It really is!
It’s not a fruit. It’s just really happy being red and stuff.
*suddenly remembers there’s a sweet, juicy plum in the fridge*
Mmmm…plum…a nice vegetable.
I have a fridge with 2 bowls full o’ cherries, picked last night
I am coming over WN!!!!
I better call GF so you don’t sprize her…
Please do. I am weak when it comes to fruits.
My grandma used to have plum trees that lined her back yard. It was always fun to climb the trees for a treat. It was a sad sad day when they cut them down.
They couldn’t just prune them?
Same with the peach tree in my back yard as a child. And y’know what? Peaches today just don’t taste like they did back then.
Geesh. In my previous house, there was a young apple tree in the neighbor behind me’s back yard, hanging over my fence – it finally got big enough to have a LOT of delicious, small green apples. I was happy – shade on my deck, free apples…
But, it was a rental, and one day I came home and all that was left was a 6 foot or so trunk.
Sigh…
We had a plum tree in our backyard when I was growing up. I was heartbroken when it blew down in a storm. I get nostalgic for my old home whenever I eat a plum.
We’ve got a mulberry tree in our back yard. My girls are forever coming in the house with purple lips/cheeks/hands (and in the case of my youngest, forehead & hair). It’s funny.
I’ve always wondered why most people do not like prunes.
Mulberry trees spring up in my yard occasionally. I’ve been trying to let one get established, but they always seem to grow in awkward locations. The one time I tried to move one it didn’t take to its new spot.
Hope this helps AA.
Transplanting should only be done just on the edge of spring when the tree is still dormant. Make your destination hole deeper then you need and fill the bottom with a peat moss heavy soil mix. When you dig up the tree cut as wide a root ball as you can as it is a surface rooting tree. Use burlap to transport your tree (It will rot away and not inhibit root growth while keeping the dirt on your roots during transport) to the new location. Fill the new hole with water and place tree in level with the surface. Use the peat moss mix to fill in and using your foot, press the new soil down firmly. Yes you will get muddy. You will need to protect your tree from frost damage by wrapping it in the winter until it is well established. (Mulberry trees do not like cold weather.)
We also had a mulberry tree. The birds loved the berries! Daddy cut down the tree. Daddy did not love the colorful bird droppings on the car. Or the picnic table. Or the chairs under the awning.
Thanks, Marius. I’m pretty sure I did a number on the roots when I dug it up. I’ll make sure I plant the next one well away from the house.
The birds love my mulberry tree, too. I get big piles of purple bird poo all over my patio and sometimes even on my white car. They wash, so I’m not worried.
There is a mulberry tree along one of the routes I walk in the mornings, and I have detoured to go another way. The berries that fall off the tree and onto the sidewalk get stuck to the bottoms of my shoes and then stain the carpet in my apt.
Oh yes AA, very far from the house, not only for the roots but the fruit will stain the beejesus out of your house. Also they like full sun.
Yummy!
*goes to make sure that channel is available in her programming*
Ask your cable or satellite operator if it’s available à la carte.
Was that last year Avis LOL… Kidding.
So true. I loved MTV back then. Then they started playing mostly rap music and stupid game shows. i havent wached MTV in 15 years. If only they would simply play rock videos they would still be my favorite.
double fail — mccain palin sign.
The real “FAIL” is ever having that “McCain+Palin” thing in the 1st place.
*headdesk*
moar liek headspin, amirite?
There is a time and a place for lolspeak. This happens to be neither. But ICHC is both!
so mulch for a kindle garden … kthxbai
*headz outtahere*
Um…Avis…I do believe that ^^ is a person we know.
Or…at least, used to know. *sigh*
She does seem to have a blind spot there.
Geez, and I hadn’t even seen him post as himself down there, yet! VV
Wait, that’s who that was? I don’t remember that alter.
It’s the words, my dear, the words…and their meanings.
That does make sense. *sigh* Such a shame.
It is? Who?
And I thought it was agreed that each site had it’s own “language” so to speak. I should have added a smiley, I wasn’t trying to be mean.
*headtableleg*
This is what I mean about boys learning from their mistakes. He bounced, and now he knows that hitting his head on a table hurts.
*snork* You are correct, sir!
But did he learn that that activity requires more space than the room (and it’s furnishings) has?
Next time, that lesson is next. Maybe when he actually breaks something.
My eight month old son just learned that lesson today.
SARA!!! I’d ask where you’ve been but I think your comment says it all!
Kids take a lot of time and effort!
*bumb*
Hi, Sara! And hi to you, Fuzz!
Fuzz! Long time no read!
Good to hear from you, Sara! Let us know how the bun in the oven is coming along, too.
*Waves*
*squeeeeeeze!*
What a lovely surprise to hear from you! Hows bun-bun #2 coming along??
*headnobrainer*
Oooof!!!
*carries fluffy’s bowl to a safer part of the house*
*snork*
Good one.
I love when they give themselve’s concussions!
I blame the wall. It coulda moved for the poor fella.
Is that what they’re calling table legs these days?
He recycles though! Look at his “floor”!
I guess that’s a good use for political signs. But like politicians they can be dangerous and slippery.
It’s kind of ironic that the kid recycles, but his political “leaders” think it’s a bunch of hooey.
I was thinking the exact same thing. But hey, maybe he has a controlling mother who makes him clean the crap out of various nooks and crannies in the house. (This is like, heavy duty ORGANIZING, not just picking up)
He’s down with OCD!
I tend to be an uber-freak when it comes to organizing things my way. We had a new copier delivered and installed today. I didn’t like the order they put the sizes in my paper trays, and made them change it while I just stood there. I bet they were all thinking I was a b!tch. Oh well!
So that’s what the B stands for!
(Kidding! – I don’t think that describes you at all!)
Awww! You’re sweet!
*squeeze!*
Ms. B, I totally understand. At least I’ve finally gotten to the point with my coworkers where they understand that when they’ve done something and I come along and change it, it’s not that their way wasn’t good enough, just that it wasn’t good enough for me.
Organization is the key to success.
Its the only thing that the signs are still worthy of, except for kindle.
Not much of a Kindle read either.
But we could also use them for… uh… gimme a minute, I’m sure I’ll come up with something!
.
.
.
.
This could take a while.
Maybe turn it over and use it as a mat for the kids and play-dogh?
Floor covering for a food-fight? Impromptu door for a porta-let? Fold it into a container for transporting fertilizer? That last one is pretty much what it already was anyway.
bottom of litter pan? over oil spot in garage?
I GOT IT! Use for slip-n-slide down a grassy hill!
*hops on poster*
Wheeee!
Hey Avis, would you do me a favor and look at my comment at the bottom.
I do respect your sugguestion about not bringing politics into this, but yard signs are fair game especially since we’re still seeing them 6 months after the fact. This thread is a fun one, I think most of us have pondered what should be done with the plethora of defunct campaign signs at one time or another.
I usually collect them and put about 500 in someone’s yard a week after the election is over.
That was you?
*Makes mental note never to ask Jimbo, “Won’t you be my neighbor?”*
♪ Sign Sign everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind ♪
I hope you choose carefully, not just anyone is deserving of that ‘honor’
Provided a deserving recipient though great going.
I covered my cousin’s car with them one time too. When I say covered, I mean we had an SUV filled to the roof on the way over.
Nice of you to provide your relatives with extra crash protection.
Cash protection would be nice too. At least for me…
You can’t put a good spin on Palin.
Zing +1
She is kind of like adding insult to injury.
To whom? (Maybe better to answer in the negative, ie who is she not)
Well she certainly IS an insult to humanity. And the kid DID get injured there.
Palin 2012 does look like a good option for republicans though, from a democratic point of view.
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. That’s what we were saying about democrats putting up either Hillary or Obama. Underestimating your opponent is a good way to end up looking foolish.
(Maybe better to alaska than to answer, i.e. this sounds good, you betcha, and makes no damn sense.)
Would that be an Alaskan crude joke?
Would that be an all’s well that oils well?
Good one.
Aja!!!! Congratulations!!!
*makes with the confetti throwin’*

Woo hoo!!! Excellent powering!

You just wouldn’t believe how many women sunbathe nude in their backyards during sunny days while Hubby is at work!
How many balloons does it take?
Just add them until you’re feeling a bit high, then double that amount and bring a pellet pistol.
LMAO Mr Bob nude.
Hello Mr Bob how is your health?
*pops champagne and pours*
*opens mouth, tries again*
Oh no you don’t, Dragon! You have to pour it into champagne flutes, not just your mouth!

I’ll have the MTV Bumpers Box Set please.

Congrats!
Wow Aja!!! To my knowledge, that’s a second fail you’ve powered since I’ve been on FB this year! Holla!!!!!
Third in fact.
03/18 Calling 911 Fail (the very first powered fail)
06/11 Referee Fail
Ah…I wasn’t sure. I wonder if I was here in March. Hmmm……
Woohoo!
Hat trick accomplished!
Now the pressure is off!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I can’t wait to tell Arthur!
DAAAAAMN!
Congrats, Aja!
*hopes it’s a helmet*
Wooooohooooo Aja!
*congratsqueeze*
I’m getting squeezed by Google now?
*squeeze*
GAH! I was trying to help Avis remember the quote, which is ridiculous coming from me.
Geee louise jam. You are one heck of a great artist. I just checked your clicky. So very nice.
I’m no artist but I will pass on the message.
*squeezes*
*throws confetti*
yay!!! *confetti’s*
*throws Tofu*

Three cheers for Aja!
Hip hip hooray!
That was just one Jimbo! You owe him two more cheers.
I was hoping for a team effort. I only have so many cheers to my name. Damn this economy.
Aw!! Okay. I can spare one for Aja.
Hip hip hooray!
…one more to go.
Offers my spare cheer, for i am taking off.
Hip HIp Hooray!!!
*wheels in confetti cannon*

Ok, I’m all out, but that was worth it.
Hooray for Aja!

Powered by Aja! Way to go!!!!
O you guys.
(And yaaay for having the old smilies back.)
They gave us the old smilies back. Maybe there’s a chance we’ll see “dot org” again??? *hopeful smiley*
I see it every time I post
Old smilies are much better. I really didn’t like the new
one, or maybe that’s only because of how Arthur described it.
Yeah, and the “smile” smiley – or maybe the “grin” one – looked like a double toothache.
Wall win!
Wall?
Yup, new invention. You lay a small wall on it’s side and add some legs. Still figuring out what to call it tho.
Table that idea and we’ll get back to it later.
WALL.E: Dirrrrr-ect-tivvve?
EVE: Directive?
[WALL-E nods]
EVE: [Eve turns away, sharply] Classified.
Center of gravity 1
Table leg 1
Bored teen 0
It’s only the first round, a comeback is possible.
Only if he uses a Hillary yard sign.
lol he’s as big a failure as the board he’s spinning on….
Anyone got Advil? I have a serious headache!!
No but I have these rubber table legs you can use as a preventative measure.
Show me how to use them.
Well, since they’re essentially ET fingers that have been fused together…
(I just wanted to use the old smiley again.)
(It works good there!)
YEAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! Old smileys!
*covers everything in bubble wrap*
When did you become a transexual, Leila?
*points at Leila’s name*
I figured I would try something new. You like?
Sorry I was rude.
I like the new look. It’s very bold.
There. There. *squeeze*
I couldn’t find an appropriate symbol for a trySexual so I just made use of both ♂♀. Doesn’t convey my intention but, oh well…
I was going to call this one an Excedrin moment, but I guess any old pain killer will do!
Yowza!
kinda funny that his friends say “ouch” at the same time.
SD, did you see my response on musical notes in previous fail? If not clickie!!!
*at this rate, i will be indebted to you for a very long time*
Oh, that’s nonesense! *starts making a list of favors to ask SD*
What happened? You are no longer a Mistress?
2 fails ago, skwerlly at my m’s then gaynor took my ss’ so i was given an extra snuggy pink Arthur thong to keep from losing it all (hence the \ /) and then somehow was given extra letter’s and rearranged. I’m starting to miss myself when I’m not around, although the snugness keeps me company.
*hands SD a gift box*
Open it!!! I got you a brand new “M”. You can you use right away if you wish. We could use a Mistress around here.
Oh my! It fits perfectly.
*sniffles* it’s beautiful, thanks.
(see, another thanks)
Would you like something from my box?
Um…
, is that like code for something?
OK, Leila, time to “convey your intention”.
Um…
*tickles MRN*
Yup…that was it.
That’s probably the first time that getting in the middle between two people has worked to my advantage.
*raises hand*
ME ME! I DO!
That must be one strong table leg if it didn’t break with that impact! No Ikea furniture in his room!!
Your furniture must be really poor if you expect it to break when you knock against it.
Most furniture to be found to day is crap. Flimsy and fragile. The sturdy stuff is expensive and hard to find. Mostly it’s just expensive. And more often than not it’s ugly to boot.
The hubby loves to do carpentry. Because of this I am not allowed to buy the cheap stuff. It’s good because this way I get quality furniture. It just takes some time to save the money to buy the good stuff.
If you invest in the good stuff now you end up saving money in the long run. I usually believe that if I can’t have something decent now, I will just do without it.
But good stuff for college kids is sort of a waste of money. Because they will find a way to ruin it. And if they don’t their friends will do it for them.
I own a few Ikea items, but I’ve taken care of them and I really did need the storage they afforded me. I’ve had them for years now. Now I’d kinda like to get some more furniture, but I won’t be going there for it.
Pardon, but I take good care of my funriture and don’t allow fools in my home for that reason. (yes a good deal of my furnature is home made, storebought wood stuff is junk.)
Getting unfinished furniture and finishing it yourself is another good way to get good stuff for less money. Seeing the naked wood allows you to really examine the quality.
And WOW I didn’t mean that comment to come out the way it did. Sowwy. *Headdesk*
You and naked-ness!!! You’ve been hanging out with Ms B again? LOL
Hey! I
resentresemble that remark!Besides, there’s nothing wrong with good, strong, naked wood!
Amen, brutha!
Be careful about impregnation.
Here’s one for your count, WN!
*SNORKITY!*
I was making a broad generalization, true. But by virtue of the fact that you come to this site to converse and not be an asshat, I think you might be a bit different than the average college student. Or at least different from the frat boys I’ve come across over the years.
Ugh, frat boys are the proverbial jackass who brays loudest in college and therefore among the best known of students sadly. Most of the extreme party crowd drop out after freshman or sophmore year when they realize not failing out and wasting a semester’s tuition requires actual work, but there’s always a new crop…
Avis, good stuff and college kids do not mix well. I agree.
*Has good stuff. Has kept it in good condition for a year and a half.*
There is an exception to every rule. I think this time it’s you!
Yup, if you buy furniture that you can put together with “Tool Included” you might as well stay in the dorm room a bit longer.
Well yeah, if they made something that lasted 20 years how would they get repeat business?
But if their product is total crap their first customers would warn away any potential customers. Ikea does seem to be an exception to the rule though. I think that stuff is more of a stop-gap measure than permanent fixture.
Yes, and the extremes both being unfeasable business models, mediocrity will reign.
We didn’t get an Ikea out here in booney-ville Utah until about a year and half ago. The grand opening was pure lunacy! People are starving for their “good deals”.
Some of their stuff is OK. Some. And even then it’s merely OK. It serves a purpose until you can afford the real thing. Then (assuming it’s still in one piece) you can give it to some college kid for their first place/dorm.
I did buy a few items from Ikea but not furniture. I like the kitchen glass canisters/jars for food storage. Perfect for the pantry.
I actually got a nice metal shelving unit from IKEA, It is actually really nice. It fits my TV, Movie, DVD player, receiver and all game system easily. It actually was a good design and rather strong. It is the only think I have bought from IKEA, so I don’t have any complaints about them.
IVAR FTW
I do think that the stuff that you can sorta “design-your-own” is the best of all their products. The simpler the better. I have a locker, the low wide one. It gets used to hold bedding on one side and magazines on the other. The top is pretty much a clutter magnet, but then, my room has no shelves of any sort. I am in need of more storage.
That’s why I love purging! If I can’t find room for anything, I start sorting through stuff and either throw them out or donate them if I believe someone else can make use of the item.
Yeah I understand that, but I have my entire life in one room that doesn’t have shelves. I need a place for my books (no, I am NOT going to toss any of those that aren’t falling apart). I need a place for my clothes. I need a place for the day to day things a person does. I know some folks have studio apartments, but most of those are bigger than my room and they usually have more storage options than I currently have.
I know what you mean about books. I had to get rid of my college books, mostly IS and operating systems textbooks but I couldn’t find any use for them. It pained me to see them go.
Could you fit any drawers under your bed? They have those storage bins by Rubbermaid which are low in heigth but can probably put clothes you do not use on a regular basis.
Not only do I already have underbed storage, I put the damned thing on lifters to make more room under there! I really REALLY need shelves. That way the books could go on them, the clothes could go under the bed and everything else could go in pretty boxes and also go on the shelves. I should point out, I have a dresser system that has six HUGE drawers, and only two of those contain clothes. The rest hold art supplies, candles, hardware, important paperwork and such and the like. There is also a cedar chest (holds out of season clothing) and the locker. And I STILL have storage issues!
Are you not permitted to hang a shelving system?
There’s talk of getting a couple of sets, but they are incredibly expensive, so I won’t have them for a good long while. This is one time when I would like some “in the mean-time” stuff. I know that even Ikea shelves would look better than the current clutter-fest.
I finally got my house. And with it I finally got storage space. I have 3 linen closets! And a seperate coat closet! Finally a place for everything. Now I just need to get everything in it’s place…
How do you explain that to a three-year-old?
Sigh… I’m moving in with my GF, and going from 2500 sq ft to 1300 sq ft, with twice as much stuff…
Yard sale WN!!!
I know it sounds simple but coming from another country with practically nothing, I don’t get attached to anything. The less stuff I have the better.
It’ll work out. Purging stuff one way or another every once in a while – yard sale, library, Good Will, dump – isn’t a bad thing.
It will work, but may look a little funny for a while. My house was really odd with all of our stuff mixed when I moved in with my husband, we are opposites in most ways.
OOOOH! I LUV the Robinson Ikea!
(That was for Jules.)
Yeah I have been out there only a couple of times. It’s about an hour and a half travel time, but I will stop by if I am leaving the Pitt Int. airport.
My sisters and I always take a shopping trip to Robinson & surrounding area every year. Ikea is inevitably on the list of stops.
My everyday dishes are from IKEA and I love them. We have a bunch of IKEA bookcases, which still look nice after years of use (well – except the white one whose shelves droop in the middle — but I think that’s just because the books are big and heavy). We got shelving inserts for one bookcase to use it as a CD rack & it’s awesome. Our dining room table and chairs are from IKEA, too. The chairs are pretty much pieces of junk (half of them are broken), but the table is both beautiful and sturdy. Our dressers are all from IKEA & have held up very well.
I always try out their chairs and sofas, but have yet to be impressed. We got our soft comfy furnishings at La-Z-Boy & could not be much happier with them. They’re SO comfy!
There’s a site called Ikeahacker that has some amazing (and some not so much) things people have made out of Ikea products. And they tell you how to do it yourself too!
What the… I started a furniture discussion with one not-so-great joke!? Well, I actually have some Ikea stuff (the store is a few blocks from me so… convenient! AND such a fun place to walk through!) Shelves and metal stuff is ok, but the coffee table I got a few months ago is already showing real signs of wear. It looks great but obviously isn’t that solid. I broke the lower shelf on it pretty quickly using it as a foot rest! But easily fixed!
The dance floor was the real fail here!
Don’t forget the wall … it’s a conspiracy against a guy who is an exceptional break dancer. *

Don’t blame the floor, somebody give that kid a tape measure! You need this much space for this activity.
This.
he was bound to fail look what he’s doing it on
Ok, if you guys don’t want to get into a huge political catfight please stop bashing the war hero I voted for. I try not to bring politics into FB, can you give me the same courtesy?
I think most of the comments were aimed at the Alaskan soccer mom, but I agree it would be boring and uncomfortable to turn this site into a political forum.
That was my where my arrows were slung, at the Alaskan soccer mom, but I can try to find other topics than politics.
I just don’t want to end up mad at anyone here, because I like most of you. I try not to drag religion into FB either, though I have strong opinions, because this place is more fun when we aren’t being too serious.
Honestly, I was just talking about the poster and not what was written on it, but i understand.
I checked, and I was the only person in my town of approx 5000 voters to vote for Cynthia McKinney. So, political arguments would be quite off-the-wall if I participated.
well i dont know how many others there were but i voted for bob barr
You can’t censor opinions. Have trust that the community will hold anyone accountable for something said out-of-line.
Many of us here enjoy the serious conversations along with the silly.
Agreed. One thing I love about this place is that we are the kind of people that can have serious discussions and disagree without attacking one another. I know that most here would balk at some of my personal beliefs, but I don’t think it’s fair to tell them they can’t talk about and attack those views. They’re not attacking me. Agency is one of the greatest gifts we have in this life. To try and take that away is one of the greatest affronts possible.
You may or may not have seen the pundit kitchen trolls. We may be pretty good at not saying anything unfounded (a definitionless word in politics anyways but that’s another difficulty entirely) but those things… ZA and his hoard would be outnumbered and sick for weeks.
Hey, PK has their great minds in there too, struggling to not let their piece of paradise ruin, just like us.
To each their own! And Pundit Kitchen is not mine.

This ones to the dead person who is about to donate ligaments to my knee. Thanks dude!
Happy Knee to you, WIK!!
*pours another round*
Good luck with the surgery, WIK!
Thanks! I’m nervous and excited! no more hurting! (except the agony post surgery) :/
Ooooh! I have donated parts in me, too, WIK! It’s awesome…really, it is. Bestest of luck on your surgery, sweets, and be sure to let us know how you’re doing. *squeeze*
I have been telling everyone that I’m really glad now that I have that little pink dot on my DL, or I would feel like a real jerk doing this.
Thanks guys
*Supersqueezes*
I’m not going to get the surgery until after I get back from my trip to the south to visit my family, so it will be in about a month.
Keep us posted, sweetie!
will do! as for now, the meds doc gave me after popping my knee cap out of place a few times are kicking in, I’m gonna go rest. Try to talk to you all tomorrow.
Take it easy WIK – see you tomorrow!
I tend to lurk there. Got into a spirited discussion, multi-threaded at that on the religious one. In the end gained better understanding of some of the others view and opinions. Was a great experience. We all ended up liking each other alot more, I may end up defecting to them. I kind of like the rep I developed there. Though I would miss all the *squeezes*.
But… but… pool parties? Barbecues? Defect is the right word if you leave us!
*taps foot*
So, that’s where you disappeared to?!
Nah, wireless internet and work have kept me away from you my darling. I promise to never let it happen again.
Ok…forgiven then.
*smooch*
*gratefulsmooch*
This is why I stay far, faaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from the pundit kitchen comments section.
I’ve passed that Jimmy Carter story link along to some friends & on another message board. Thank you so much for posting that, Dragon!
Wasn’t that AWESOME???? I was sooo proud of him.
I’m blanking on this. Pointers?
Oh, sorry! I posted this on my facebook page, not here.
Google Jimmy Carter Baptist Church. That will get you there.
Here is the linkee.
Tanks, sweets!
*squeeze*
*SQUEEZE* right back atcha.
It was well written, and very nicely presented. Thanks for it NS and DW.
Man, I’m always getting in trouble.
I know, I know…off to my room.
*really have to go, have dr. appt again. blech*
Agreed. No politics. No bigotry. No trolls.
POLITICS!!!!
Do not want.
*flees thread*
I don’t see one McCain bashing comment before your post, Jimbo. Was that a preemptive strike?
None ^^^.
Look VVV.
*biting fingernails*
I just don’t want to be dragged into an argument because I felt the need to defend my political views.
Jimbo, I understand and I think we are aware that this isn’t the proper platform for a political discussion. This is FB though and we make fun of pretty much anything that comes our way. *squeeze*
Jimbo, I understand what you are saying, but you don’t have to defend your political views. No one can make you do anything. I’ve held my tongue/fingers many times when Obama was bashed here. Usually it was just a matter of considering the source, and the urge to reply soon passed.
Yeah… I agree with AA…
Also, just because you don’t want to have to defend your views, does not mean people should not voice theirs. I realize this isn’t the best forum to hold serious conversation, but it’s an open forum all the same. Also, I don’t believe anyone was questioning Mr. McCain’s heroism status, but they were commenting on his political views. I would be careful, in the future, allows issues similar to that to mix. It’s important to address the correct issue in a discussion, not the fallacy.
Basically here is the deal. I think any discussion about politics or religion is going to degenerate into something very unpleasant eventually. I try to bite my tongue as well as I can, but these topics are about things which I hold very strong opinons on. I saw the potential for this to degenerate into a very nasty and divisive fight, and I wanted to head that off. However if you guys would like to fight that out, be my guest. I have work I should get to anyways.
Outside of the trolls, the people here are intelligent, thoughtful, courteous, and kind. We ignore or drive out the ignorant and mean. I don’t know what Failblog you’re reading.
Yeah, I also don’t believe anyone here would be rude outright. By making an issue of our political beliefs, you ignited the idiots (loser trolls) and sorta created a self-fulfilling prophecy. No one (of the good people) would tell you that your views are wrong or fault you for them. I dunno, I would just roll with the punches. If you don’t agree with something, say so, but keep in mind that respect of others opinions is a two-way street. Just my two sense. *is broke now*
Ummmm….yah. Talk about being defensive when no one is attacking you (not you, Malicite…Jimbo). We have had many spirited discussions here about politics, religion, etc, and (obvious trolls aside), I have never seen the conversation get offensive or contentious. I agree with Ms B…if you expect people to respect and value your voice, you cannot arbitrarily take other peoples’ voices away.
*hands malcite his 2 cents*
Your money is not good here sir, you deserve better.
In my honest opinion, I don’t think that religious debates or political debates would degenerate into hate filled fallacy tossing.
It may be that I have seen quite a few of them play out on pundit kitchen but generally if you handle the debate tactfully, respectfully, objectively and with an open mind great ideas not opinions can be debated. That is one of the greatest gifts from god/evolution/allah/deities/buddha etc. The ability of humans to discuss and share ideas and the mutual benefit of growing as people. Becoming aware of each other’s points of view, and stopping the spread of ignorance, helping us move forward as a peaceful race/species. That is one thing I especially like, to debate what people think is taboo, I question why, what makes it off limits. If its personal, well that is unfair to limit others based on one’s own feelings. Just my two cents.
*Goes back to pan-handling*
Well said, Emp.
I’m trying to not bring up politics. I really am. But, the sign is in the fail. That sort of makes it fair game. I’d say the same no matter who’s names were on it.
I’m also trying to be nice about this, but making a fuss about not wanting to discuss politics is a great way to impose one’s own views on others. I don’t think this is your intent, but others might take offense to it.
that’s what he gets for voting mccain
yea first, can’t believe you voted for that “maverick”, 2nd, isn’t his n her campaign run essentially the biggest campaign fail? That certainly is an epic fail IMO. Come on, the couric interview? R U Serious with them jawns?? Seriously?
That’s what u get for supporting McCain & Palin. STUPID KID.
Irony is break dancing on a sign dedicated to a 71 year old man in danger of breaking his hips from mostly anything and a woman with the (verbal) co-ordination of a paraplegic.
*hides chez from Jimbo and jumps up and down trying to erase his post*
AAAAARRRGH!!!!!
Sorry about that, I’ll try to hold off on that line so as not to bring over any of the pundit kitchen trolls.
We really need a FailBlog Etch-a-sketch! *Shakes Chez a little to erase his post*
Maybe if you hold the arms and I hold the legs and spin him around really fast. That might work.
We could set him on an old McCain/Palin sign to spin him.
Would we get in trouble?
Don’t think so, but we would lose points for originality. The French judge would probably like it, though.
I don’t know, but make sure there are no tables nearby if you do!
And with that I’m off for the day. Good luck all, keep the place free for those of all ideologies. (except of course the “none present” crowd, you know who you are… or maybe you don’t.)
It was Palin’s fault!
*taps Jenny on the shoulder*
My dear, would you kindly take a look at the above thread?
No. I’d rather go for a ride on the party-pony.
*goes to read*
I wasn’t trying to pick a fight with you – it was bad timing. And for the record I would have wrote the same line with the name of any person who was on the sign. Just trying to have fun here – not make a statement. Don’t forget to breathe today.
*slowly starts to turn pink again*
Oh, that’s why I was turning blue. Who woulda thunk it.
Come on. Let’s go for a ride.
*Mounts party pony*
Neighghghgh pllbbbfffttt
Ohhhh, that first line is beautiful.
And you 11:41am comment.
*squeeze*
*gallops off into the sunset*
Jimbo -
Okay, we all get it. You support John McCain and Sarah Palin. That’s fine. I must point you, as well, to the thread above. Who you support is your choice, and who I support is mine.
One thing is for sure, though, and that’s that this kid busted the shit out of his head on a table when he fell trying to breakdance on a McCain/Palin campaign sign. I don’t think anyone here seriously blames McCain, Palin, you, or the Republican party for his pain. We just joke around. That kid was a dumbass, and probably should have done that in a much larger room.
And he probably should have done it on an Obama/Biden sign.
lol, i can see the 2012 campaign signs now, “obama/biden 2012; way safer than those cheap palin signs”
It is a double fail: note the McCain Palin sign on the floor.
Do you read any comments other than your own?
Haha! But reading takes too much effort Avis.
I never bother with it myself. I prefer to remain illiterate.
Where’s the 1:00 fail when you need it, this one is going a bit awry..
*participated in this, regrets doing so*
Democrats don’t read! They just spend all our money…and more.
*ahem* I am a democrat. Can you explain something to me though? I notice that many republicans call us “tax and spend liberals” and that those republicans think taxes are too high. But If we don’t pay taxes, how does anything get done? What money do we use to fund schools, roads and other programs. More importantly, if we don’t pay taxes, how do we pay our fighting soldiers? I am really not trying to start a fight here, I just don’t understand where the money is supposed to come from otherwise.
Without taxes, how would police, firefighters, and other first responders get paid? Who would fund medical care for people whose medical expenses extend beyond their coverage (if there is any coverage to begin with)?
Personally, I’m ok with paying higher taxes as long as I know everyone can have food, comfortable shelter, a good education, and decent affordable medical care.
I am right there with you! I think it’s the whole “tax and spend” thing that irks me. In my mind tax and spend seems to be a hell of a lot better than spend and spend. But, I have asked that question of my family (VERY conservative republicans) and they have never been able to give me an anwer! And really I just want to understand the issue.
Since I am of of the “people are more important than money” way of thinking…I agree with you completely!
“Taxes are the price we pay for civilization.”

Ooooo…you reminded me of one of my very fav’s…
A mind stretched by a new idea can never regain its original dimensions.
Thank whatever powers that be for that!
*squeezity!*
DrB, I lost your email and addy when my laptop went *phut!* Would you be so kind as to send it to me again?
*squeeze!*
Can do (all’s going very well, and as planned).
*squeezes* Avis.
Ok then… My mind is like an old stretched out pair of granny-panties.
Always room for more – but stuff falls out occasionally.
A thinking we can only hope the current economic disaster will help foster in the US. We value ourselves way too much by what we own instead of by our relationships.
I agree wholeheartedly.
I sometimes sigh wistfully when I think of the early Anglo-Saxon visions of community vs. the individual. Society could not survive, they said, if the individual put himself ahead of his community, and exile from your people was a punishment worse than death.
Of course, then I think of the lack of electricity and indoor plumbing and I’m not quite so wistful, but you know what I mean.
It may take a while to purge materialism from the culture. We’ve been taught to view consumerism as the American way of life.
I’m ok with consumerism, as long as people are being cared for. It’s all about balance, I think.
I have to admit, I sure as hell don’t take 30mins out of my day to read 600 asinine responses before I post mine. 95% of the comments on here are either unreadable lolspeak (or other lolculture annoyances like “nawt sekund”), unnecessary flames, grammatical nightmares or just generally retarded behavior. So what if someone says something someone else already said?
I love it happened on a McCain-Palin sign, proof that their supporters were all morons.
it’s not that great because you can’t really see when he hits his head
OK yeah political battles are not meant for failblog. Let’s have a McCain-Obama bboy battle. Awww yeah.
Loving the McCain / Palin sign he’s break dancing on. An added fail.
I don’t think I have EVER seen someone break dance without causing head or back trauma…
How about wall trama? My friend put a hole in the wall of his apartment doing a kick-flip. I think he was kinda proud of it.
Heya Mal! *Squeeze*
*squeeze* Harrow there!
I would just be happy to be able to claim to do a kick-flip.
hehe, he saw a McCain/Palin sign, and first thing that came to mind is “Hey!, that’d make a good surface for breaking!”
Well you see people use cardboard boxes all the time, and I imagine one of those glossy signs would be smoother than that.
I’d really like to know why this comment needed to be moderated?
You used the i-word!!!!
!mag and all its constituents seem to be moderation-worthy.
Because you used the word “!magine” in it’s proper form. For some reason, that word trips the filter.
The words “!mage” or “!magine” always get moderated here for some reason. *shrug*
You’ve been hit by a smooth crimiWALL.

I know that your avatar is a bear — but every time I look at it, I see an Australian Shepherd facing to the right (with a white stripe down his nose).
I know. Completely random. Don’t mind me.
*cheers for having the old smileys back*
That’s really cute! Sometimes I don’t really realize what people’s avatars are, either – I just associate a certain picture with a person. Took me ages to realize that K@’s old one was an elephant. It still looked like a pretty design of rocks in a garden to me for a long time.
I actually took the pic myself, so I’m a little attached, but I wonder if I should switch to a cuter/more obvious bear. Thoughts?
Nope don’t change it unless you want to.
I once thought an avatar was scary – it turned out to be the opposite of scary in the end, it was just my weird mind playing tricks on me
I think your bear is just smokin’
I see a killer whale instead of a bear.
Can you tell I am a can at a keyboard?
Oh wow! I saw the can – didn’t realize you were on a keyboard until you said so. What are you a can of? (Browser fail at work won’t let me enlarge.)
I can see a can with sunglasses on but like Bearly, I don’t see the keyboard.
I see everything… and nothing…
That’s … deep WN.
And he winked…
*snork*
Yeah, she did that too…
Oh, you guys! *chiclets*
Have you tried viewing the !mage (some form of right click, probably), so that the URL for the !mage appears in your address box, then change the size from 32 to, say, 320?
gravatar, blah, blah, blah?s=32&d etc)
I can only Save !mage As… so I figured SNtJ could just tell me.
Has she been sweet enough to tell you yet?
No, but I’m starting to get the feeling tater fault, the sweet gal. I don’t think she realized that I yam still waiting.
MRN, I tried it and it works. It’s somewhat pixelated but I see Bearly’s bear better.
We don’t want to label you.
“I yam what I yam, and that’s all I yam!”
Only just noticed the keyboard, but yes.
Jenny, I DO see the can on a keyboard now. I just had to clear my cache and enlarge the pic as WN suggested.
If you enlarge to a size you haven’t done before you probably don’t even have to clear your cache.
I see a bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
There’s a bathroom on the right.
Separate incidents!
That would explain why he saw something overflowing….
Sugary Sam Sweet Potatoes. If you want to see the keyboard you should empty your cache.
*holds up gun*
Give me all your cache!
*backs slowly away from someone not quite as nice as Jenny…*
Hi WN! My husband rode to a conference with a man named (your name) the other day and I thought of you.
*goes to take meds and a nap…so sick today*
awwwwwwwwwww GET BETTER Jenny!!
*quietly inserts a “,” after “BETTER” above*
We need the punctuation. I’m not sure where we could find a better Jenny.
I hope you’re feeling better, Jenny!
I love your Australian Shepherd — don’t change it!
Ok, thanks! Glad you find my pic fetching!
*hands Bearly some honey…*
*swipes honey for my throat*
*decide to only take what I need and gives the rest back*
Thanks & Sorry
That’s what he gets for voting for Palin.
that’s what you get for supporting McCain-Palin
Why the hell does an asian guy have a McCain poster anyway? Asians were pretty much on Obama’s side 100%
Because the majority means everyone? Without exception? WOW!
We’ll have to ask Brewski if any of them can break dance too. This whole video might be a set up by the Democrats and anti-Ikeans!
Damn Ikeans. We don’t cotton to them in these here parts. We only allow Room Storeans around here.
*slides over to sit with the pro-Ikeans*

I’m a Democrat and a pro-Ikean.

Well, since we’re all here, how about some cheesy chili nachos and alcoholic libations?
*DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL*
Erm…*wipes mouth*…I mean, that sounds lovely.

Is this a girls only thing?
We’re in the middle of the room for a reason, silly!
Noop…it’s a “we’re sitting on the floor so as to dodge irritating labels” thing.

Well, my day is done, and I’m headed out to buy new shelf paper and go home. Maybe by the time I get there, I’ll remember what you guys are talking about because
I have no idea! Was I drinking something at the time?
Hey so what’s everyone doing on the floor?

Am I alright or are dragon and admiral upside down?
100% is the new 96ish%
Did you know that 84% of all statistics are made up on the spot?
Hey!
*does funny math*
That’s more than half!
Oh, God, you’ve now met Alexa Chung.
I am so, so sorry for you all. You poor bastards. What ever did you do to deserve Alexa Chung?
Because we’re all Freshly Squeezed????
Uh, so much for non-political political non-politics. Uh, nevermind…I’ll just go back to playing with my nuts.
*closes eyes, rubs nuts to glossy shine*
Wow, you sure like his nuts don’t you?
*hands Skratdaddy a ShamWow*
*robs Skratdaddy of glossy shiny nuts*
Muahahahahahah1!!1!!one
And again begins another episode of Skrat chasing his nuts.
*looks frantically around for missing shiny nuts*
*spots Leila in the distance doing the happy dance*
*returns slightly use ShamWow to nightshayde*
*shakes fist at Leila*
I’ll get my nut back eventually!
:barf:
I don’t think she wants that one back…
*runs up to previous post*
*slowly puts “d” in after “use”*
*continues pointless search for Leila’s new nut*
*hides nut in an undisclosed location as Patrica the calf ♀ v4.0*
Um …. thanks, Skratdaddy. You may keep the ShamWow. I’ll get more.
Kthxew.
did he die?
This guy should meet up with the breakdancer who kicked the baby about 5 feet into the air.
Republicans can’t dance.
They can, but they drift to the right.
And the Democrats have two left feet, and none of them have any balance!
The Constitution Party folks have good constitutions
The Pirate party people have good… Warships?
The Libertarian Party has good…weed!
The Tupperware Party is well organized, but it burps a lot.
*snork*
oh noes! Some jerk voted for McCain and now does not want anyone bashing him!
Freedom of speech is what that alleged “war hero” fought for. By asking people not to bash him you’re doing a disservice to what he believed in.
Here is where you lost me…jerk.
He lost me at “noes”???
He misspelled ‘nose’.
Even still, the phrase ‘Oh nose!’ doesn’t make a lot of sense. Except when Pinocchio says it.
“Tell another lie Pinocchio!!”
Tell a lie! Tell the truth! Tell a lie! Tell the truth!
Nightshayde! Get off Pinocchio. You haven’t even paid Chan for him yet.
*snork!*
What…? We’re not allowed to test drive the merchandise first??
Well…
*snorkity snorks* X 10
I was just testing it.
I’m not going to pay perfectly good money for a 
sex toypuppet without making sure its parts are in working order.*looks at watch*
Well. Are you going to buy the used one now?
Are there any strings attached to this purchase?
You can borrow my slightly used ShamWow for a little clean up.
*gives nightshayde her ShamWow back*
Reply button fail.
That’s sadly not the only fail here, Lurk.
No, but it’s the only one I’m willing to address.
*admires Lurk’s self restraint*
No freakin’ kidding!
My mom once told me that I needed to do something about the chip on my shoulder, and I said, “I think I’ll name it Herman.” If I were to begin to address any of the other fails, Herman would get up on his soapbox and rant for days. This way is better, believe me.
That’s funny, “Herman” is what I named one of the tumors I had removed!
I have a friend who named her houseplant “Herman”!
…Okay, it wasn’t as good a story, but it’s all I have. :p
Herman! I love it! You guys crack me up!
Herman’s a very versatile name, it seems.
I once got a sourdough starter named “Herman” from a friend. It had been passed down for generations. I don’t remember exactly how far back it went, early 20th century at least.
You…you ATE Herman??
Mmm. I’ll bet he was tasty.
He was toasty and tasty. Fear not, part of Herman lives on.
It’s also what my father used to call ME when he was trying to be silly.
Uh, I have a friend that called his “little friend”, Herman the one eyed German. He was from Hamburg. My friend that is, well I guess both of them were.
It would appear that “Herman” is indeed a versatile name!
“He was from Hamburg. My friend that is, well I guess both of them were. ”
I am so glad you made that clear for us.
*Skratdaddy wins my 1st audible laugh of the day*
YAY for Hamburch!!!
thats what you get for being republican
china sux
*hands “Random Comment of the Day Award*
Best part? He’s “break-dancing” on a McCain/Palin poster.
Never mind we established that :p
Little bastard gets what he deserves for “break dancing” on a McLame/Failin poster…
Maybe if he would have tried doing it on an Obama – Biden sign it would have turned out well. ??
He would have turned into Jesus. Plain and simple.
McCain just won’t stop hurting your children!
FIRST!!!!1111!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111!!!!!!!!!ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FAIL! ur like 666th comment
These’d be a lot cooler if the f’in advertisements didnt ruin every video half way through
well that could not have made him any dumber then he already is…
ouch!! thats gotta hurt
He deserves it for having a McCain/Palin sign like that…
The ambiguity of the above post showcases what cracks me up about the political comments here. Are you a supporter of McCain/Palin if you literally walk all over them daily, or do you truly disdain them, or… just possibly… you have this on the floor simply because it was lying around (your parents were supporters, perhaps?) and it’s fun to slip and slide on it in your room?
Too many people are over analyzing the poster selection, IMO. (Plus, it’s a weak joke anyway.)
I’m just amazed at how MANY lurkers this fail managed to lure out of the woodwork!
These aren’t lurkers…these are trolls. They only come out to say something critical and unkind.
I was trying to be kind! I know that isn’t expected of me, but there it is.
Also, after my own comments about Palin I didn’t think I’d have a leg to stand on.
Ah c’mon. I started it.
*squeeze!*
I hope that’s ok with Dragon!
Of course it’s okay!
…Just don’t try it in the middle of a steamy pun-run.
*squeeze-backs*
Hi Avis, Dragon!
Any joke I would attempt would Palin comparison to yours, I’m sure.
How’s it going?
(ahem)
Admiral! I didn’t see you on the “recent posters” list! *squeeze*
Just getting ready for breakfast.
*squeeze*
Your list must be broken.
AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
No breaking the blog!
Wellwe haven’t *fooomed* or *GLOWERed* anyone… yet, so it’s all good!
*desperately attempts to insert a space between “Well” and “we”!
My computer, slow as it is, conspires with my poor typing skills against me!
I’m glad, I received one of those glowers once. I think it singed my eyebrows right off, if I recall correctly!
Sorry ’bout that! My temper occasionally gets the best of me.
I’ll tell ‘ya though, this fail could have been my undoing, if it weren’t for the sheer numbers of them today!
Brewski!!!!1!!!!!eleven!!!!!!
*SQUEEZE*
What are you doing up so early?
Hiya, Brewski!! How’s China treating you?
Hi NS! Hi Dragon! I finally caught you. It’s busy busy, and usually I can’t get through to here. But lately it’s been working. I even am getting the videos now!
Mostly I’m just in the factory, but the dinners and lunches are spectacular! Great hosts too. Not for the squeamish though, a lot of the food looks back at you. Like the chicken last night, the head was vacantly staring at me.
Eeep! I don’t think I’d fare too well in China. Food that looks back at me gives me the willies!
We’re all glad you can get through though! *squeeze*
*desperately tries not to make a willy joke*
*fails*
Well, at least you didn’t make a “Did it die?” comment about the chicken, or something like that.
Gotta run! Have a good night!
*parting squeeze*
G’night! Glad you were able to check in!
*wonders how Brewski’s hosts would prepare willy*
*shudders*
*tries to think of something more pleasant*
I believe Brewski prefers it deep fried without a crunchy coating.
*faints*
*reminds self to proofread for unintended innuendos*
You just know I’m gonna fail at this one!
*snerk*
I don’t have any smelling salts.
*offers sea salt and a slice of lime…*
I’ll provide the tequila to go with the salt and lime!
*miraculously revives*
Woohoo!
What did you say was on the schedule today…sightseeing?
Going up to Guangzhou I think (sp?) I have no idea, but a city about 1.5 hrs away. I’m not sure what all we’ll do. Also a stop at the factory, the president wanted to present me with a gift set of pu-erh tea, a local specialty. They shower so much attention on guests it is crazy.
Not to kia bosh but do they shower you with gifts to get your approval?( for the job or contract) Are you with other people from you place of work?
Sorry to ask so many questions Mr Brewski. LOL
You’re a little late.
Looking around seeing nothing does not mean late but early before the event gets here………..Dr. Who
Fair question, it in theory could create ethical conflicts. But, gift-giving is very rooted in their culture. It is expected. The gifts should never have large monetary value (for example, I received tea, a foot massage, etc). I am not the one making such decisions, although I certainly have significant influence.
Personally I don’t think it is inappropriate. But if the gifts were large, then it would be. For example, a coworker received a high-end electric guitar from a Korean company. I think that crosses the line.
IMHO, there’s quite a difference between criticizing the candidate (a figure I completely despise), and wishing violence upon all those who support her. Criticizing/mocking the candidate herself is reasonable since she’s the one who put herself in the public eye. Blindly criticizing her supporters or lumping them all together and stereotyping them isn’t quite as reasonable (unless you’re criticizing specific supporters who actually have made it clear that they’re morons).
I know there were people who supported McCain/Palin because they felt the candidates’ views were more in line with their own than were the views of Obama/Biden, and it was their right to do so. Some of them were morons, and some were not — just as some supporters of Obama/Biden were morons and some were not.
Wishing that anyone would be permanently crippled or killed based solely on political affiliation is another matter entirely.
EGG-zackly.
And I’m soooo glad to see our little eye-rolly smiley back.
I think a number of them need attitude adjustments that only a proper application of flame can create.
Then again, maybe it’s just me.
Yeah, but I usually don’t bother with these piddly little trolls. There are faaaaaaaaaaaar too many of them…I’d be exhausted!
Besides — there might be some global warming considerations if you were to *FOOM* all those who actually deserved it…
Ooooh…good point. Though, to be fair, dragons are very eco-friendly!
You may be eco friendly, but the amount of gas and gunk given off by a burning troll, notsomuch.
These are Twerp-Trolls. Not something to take the effort to burn. Unless they leave us an opening too good/easy to resist!
Or, I heard there was quite a bit of theft of McCain/Palin signs. Maybe he “borrowed” it to spin himself silly on?
When I heard this McCain guy was running in the states I thought he owned the pizza deep and delicious.LOL
what’s the bigger fail–the head bang, or the McCain/Palin sign?
Serves him right for being a republican supporter.
Too bad he wasn’t permanently crippled or killed, IMHO…
Damned Republicans are the ultimate FAIL
That’s what you get for break dancing on a McCain Palin mat!
Wow, breakdancing on a McCain/Palin sign… I’d call that a WIN if that’s the best use he could find for it! >D
SEU FUDEU!!!!!! KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
The real fail is that he has a McCain/Palin campaign sign.
Not your blatant ignorance in first thinking you were the only one to think of that but secondly posting it anyways.
this is what you get for voting McCain/Palin. Kharma Beyatch
yeah the mccain palin sign is what I thought was the fail
You know how I know this website bit the shit? YOUTUBE rejected it. the acceptor of all shit. Youtube rejected this crap.
Not even a McCain/Palin sign could give him the ability to break dance.
I guess that’s what you get for relying on McCain and Palin!
This is what happens when you try to turn a closet into a gym; you get to see a lot of birds and stars around your head.
The other fail is the ad that shows up over the video during the slow mo.
Dude, my friend tried the exact same thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyJR_7ScGYs
BOOM!! Heahshot!
its funny because he hurts himself
Man… can’t fault him after the last few nunchaku incidents. But yeah, check your space!
At least he puts the “break” in break dancing.
Look what he is spinning on and everything becomes alot clearer lol
The McCain-Palin spin machine fails again.
Haha so true
Haha, nice campaign mat. He failed as hard as they did
OUCH!
Only fitting since he’s on a Mcain/Palin campaign sign.
That’s what you get for supporting Palin
By the way, Dancefloor Fail…
It figures — another stupid McCain/Palin fan…
Title fail,
It’s called a windmill, not a backspin…
of course he was bound to fail! he failed before he tried to be a human top. look at the floor! for those of you who dont understand im saying mccain and palin are pieces of shit and you probably didnt get it cuz you voted for them
HAHAHAAAAAAA…he makes the music skip
OMG he has a mccain palin sign I hate that fail dancer now
Even though he may have hit his head on the table, at least he got some win from using the McCain/Palin poster as a pad. Yeah ruin the poster, epic win.
hahaha, maybe it’s bad karma…
because of the McCain/Palin sign he was dancing on.
hahaha
he fails more because of the rug than because of the dancing.
Today, many people are opting for satellite TV over cable. In many cases satellite TV can help you to save money. With satellite TV you pay less price for thousands of channels, while with cable you pay more to watch premium channels like HBO, Showtime and Cinemax. With satellite TV you probably pay less and you get many entertaining channels.
is he really spining on a McCain/Palin Poster? who the hell would even buy a poster that big? whats he gonna do, Put in on a billboard? or On his roof?
That guy is hot… Must have hurt his head but he’s a cutie… at least what I could see of him
mccain palin. it was doomed from the start.
He failed as hard as McCain & Pailin did in the election.
Bahahahaha. I watched this like 40 times. What a dumbyy. Who break dances in small areas!? No wait who break dances at all anymore!?
lol breakdancing on a giant McCain and Palin campaign sign…
you hit your head as carma for liking Mcain
oh my god why palin has to do with all this?
may be there is a logical explanation
That’s what he gets for breakdancing on the electoral sign of a short-tempered intolerant geriatric and a (no matter how attractive) brainless slack-jawed yokel with a background in cheerleading, journalism, and speaking in tongues.
you can do it better than this!
