Accidente!
It’s fuzzy wuzzy!
.
*squeeze*
ciao, vellutina!
.
*compressione*
(tee hee! Italian *squeeze*!)
lanuginoso is Italian for
1. “fuzzy”
2. “velvety [lit., "woolly "], and
3. “fluffy”
So in Italy, fluffy and I are one!!
*snork!*
Wouldn’t that be a trio, velvet? You, fluffy and fuzz!
Yeah! Triplets!
.
*does Snoopy dance with fuzz and fluffy*
Wonderful! If we were doing any better, we’d be … sextuplets?
Exactly!!!
Woo hoo! My squishy sister!
TMItalian do you live in Italy?
no, io sono stato al’italia un po’, ma habito al fondo del cuore di Texas
—
no, I’ve stayed in Italy some, but live deep in the heart of Texas.
Davvero? Io abito in Texas e parlo l’Italiano pero pocco.
piacere — ecco, una “yellow rose” per il tuo compleanno …
.
—-<–<-@
E una bella gialla rosa. Mi piace molto e grazie mille.
Che succede qui? Io non sono qui per un giorno e deja comminci a imparare italiano d’un altro uomo? Bella di mi la verita, non mi piaci piu?
Siamo amici e niente di piu. Tu sai quanto mi piaci. Ti voglio molto bene.
Posso darti un bacio?
Solo si io puo bacia’ti anche.
Questo terreno elettricho di gioco è per tutti noi di condividere, non può essere fatto in un modo felice?
~ with my gratitude, Emperor τετραγράμματον
No problema fuzz, non preoccuparti puosso giocare
pacificamente.
io vivo in italia…livorno, tuscany
quasi quasi sarei lieto d’ospitar una pulchra puella (yes..this 2 words are not italian, it’s latin…it means “beautiful girl”) di codesta terra foresta, purchè sempre di bellezza si tratti
O_o E quello sarebbe Italiano? xD
Nice vanishing act.
Lots of handshaking fails lately, but this one is the most elaborate, I’d say.
*throws confetti at Abstract*
Yes, this one needed to be coordinated with the stage managers, the sound effect people, the hand shakers and the faller. The fail from a few days ago was a solo act. Not so elaborate.
I said this months ago – this is why important people should not be shaking hands with just anyone! For example, when world leaders shake hands with just any commoner, they risk having the ENTIRE WESTERN CIVILATION COLLAPSE! AAAAGGGGHHH!
*spittle*
*foam*
*faint*
(I can’t even refer you back to the original Fail, because I think the rants I am mocking have all been removed.)
*snork!*
I remember them, though. You caught their essence quite well!
Bam! You cooked up quite a comment, Dragon!
I like to kick it up a notch.
You’re also out of this world.
(Lagasse has contributed several recipes for dishes served aboard the International Space Station.)
There you are!!
*POUNCE!!*
Hee, I was admiring your legs down there earlier. vv I’m glad you found me…I’ve been buried in work.
MRN…
That is the sweetest note ever. I am truly touched. If you were here in person, I would give you a HUGE hug. This is the best I can do online {{{{{{MRN}}}}}!!!!!
MRN’s confetti is touching?
*wonders who MRN’s confetti is touching, and in what way*
*hopes it’s the bad way*
Who says being touched that way is bad?
♪ Touch me in the morning… ♫
♪ Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight. ♪
*could use some afternoon delight*
Stupid strep!
*healing squeeze*
♪ A spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down, the medicine go down ♪
You guys are so sweet! Thanks!
You need some honey and cedar.
strep is THE delight. …
*touches Judy even in the afternoon*
*takes pictures*
Are you going to put them up in your store?
Oh, absolutely! In fact, I think we need to have a “celebrity wall” at DW’s Adult Store…so everyone watch for me coming around to take your pics when you are in compromising positions.
DW, I’m afraid I can’t afford to pay you the $60,000 you’re asking for the negatives of those photos of me… Would a blueberry muffin be payment enough?
You’re going to have to build several additions to have enough wall space for all my photos!
(since I always seem to find myself in compromising positions)
*click*
The celebrity wall will have pictures of you with your pants on since that is far less common.
*puts pants on*
*squeezes AA and DW*
*squeeze*
Welcome back.
*giggles*
Hey, that tickles!
Awww….
And unlike most of what I post here, it’s all true!
(Brewski – she’s thanking me for the b’day note i left her on Saturday.)
MRN – You are so sweet!!!!
I do agree, the video is a little strong but I still appreciate the spirit of it all.
*feels all floaty now*
Fuzz posted the video. (he FRIST’ed this fail).
Very nice, MRN! As long as we’re handing out kind words, I’ve always found your posts hilarious. You’ve always been one of my very favorite posters. I’ve mentioned this before, but not sure you ever saw my posts.
*sniff* but, but……..
Abstract!
*squeeze*
We’re throwing you a “powered by” party! Come have cake and truffle fries. People keep breaking the champagne.
woot!! awesome!
*gives abstract a big SMOOCH!*
*smooch*!!!
Thanks, Brewski. I’ve been tempted to see if we could meet for a beer sometime in Worcester or some-such-place, since you’re such a funny person. It would either be a great time or kill the magic, I’m not sure.
Are you saying Fuzz posted the John Lennon video? How do you know? (Or am I confuzzled again?)
Yeah. It was a response out of how I felt seeing your kindness … and your avatar.
_()_
Ahhh… OK, like I said, I had the feeling it was a regular who wanted to stay in the background in the thread but still convey the message. I went back to look at the thread the next day, expecting either to see a few more people add happy birthday wishes, or posters crying that we don’t stay on topic.
(Strange – when I’m talking to someone who is currently online, I forget there are hundreds of people reading the posts, but when I wrote that post I felt like I had sent Leila a card and everyone in the post office opened it up and read it too.)
(Psst! We did!)
Probably means she never got the Godiva chocolates then.
You sent me chocolates too?
Nope!
*hides chocolates behind back*
*smiles innocently*
*grabs something brown from behind Ms B’s back*
Hah! Got it!
*realizes he actually grabbed something brown from behind SNtJ’s back from the last fail*
Oh boy…
the brown stuff wasn’t the godiva. …
Brewski, I am relieved and sad at the same time to know that you don’t walk around pantless IRL.
I don’t drink beer, can we still hang out?
Definitely! I’m a foodie, and love all food and drink! How about tea/coffee?
If you two aren’t gonna drink, do you mind if I have your beers?
@MRN: I’ve thought the same thing. It’d be fun to get together with fail friends. But, online personas may or may not be indicative of real-life personality. Part of me would love it, and part of me might be afraid it would somehow negatively affect people’s impression of me. Which is a laugh, considering what a boob I often am on this blog!!
I joke around in real life, but not excessively. My real-life humor is a bit different. I tend to have a very dry sense of humor. And I love serious conversation, or just a simple chat about nothing in particular. I dunno, I suppose I’m not too different from a lot of folks here.
That said, I would welcome a visit from anybody that is in the neighborhood. I know where the best beer bars are! Believe it or not, I don’t get out to them much at all though.
I failed to nest properly.
See ^^
*smooch* i’m following you around with smooches……. that’s a LOT like me in real life…
*smooches back*
*gives a wedgie*
I have a cerebral type of humo(u)r in real life. So I know what you mean.
Other than the clothing thing, what you see here is what you get.
Yup. Me, too.
I echo Ms B and Lurk … this is me. Take it or leave it.
I find I can interact with people better in person, I am not too much different. I have my cerebral humo(u)r which I am more fond of in person as I have real actions to accompany it, rather than the written ones. I also can be much more sarcastic, crossing my eyes and such while delivering the lines.
How do you shut an Italian up?
You tie his hands by his sides.
I am a very visual communicator.
Seriously, my biggest fear of meeting any of you in person is that we would each be disappointed by the timing in the conversation. I would expect any of you to be instantly funny, and I would be nervous that I wasn’t living up to the same expectation from you. (The cadence of person-to-person conversation being different from (than?) what we do here. )
It would be awkward at first, but after about 20 mins (maybe slightly longer if there were no other people in the group) I think it would be OK.
… Especially since after about 15 mins I would be on (at least) my 2nd beer.
Ha! I’m sure we’d hit it off, MRN! I think the same way.
I would be afraid people would expect me to be a comedian or something, instantly cracking jokes at any given moment. People who know me often say I have a good sense of humor, but I’m not a comedian. I don’t want the pressure! I just would want to hang out and get to know each other.
That said, I’m myself on the blog. Except I wouldn’t do all the big-time flirting in real life. I’m in a relationship, and doing that in real life is too much like cheating. It wouldn’t feel right. Here there’s very little risk of it being anything more than harmless fun.
Over at ICHC we call these meeting “Cheese Meets” and from I have seen they have all been pretty successful. People say when they will be somewhere and then try to get together with whoever is from the area. Some are even planned more like weekend vacations. I do not think any of the kitties have been disappointed — so I think you guys shoud go for it!!
Given that we all seem to be relatively easy-going here I’m pretty sure we’d be easy-going out there.
I would love to meet my fellow failers!
Sure, meeting fellow FBers would be fun. Just don’t expect a pun run out of me though!
I didn’t want you to think I was comin’ to Texas to get you, if you thought I followed up my note with that video.
Having said that, I recommend that song/video for anyone who still thinks John should never have met Yoko. (There are a lot of Yoko Ono haters out there.)
Thought didn’t cross my mind MRN.
I don’t know if Yoko was the main cause of the Beatle’s demise but I could never see them together as a couple. It just doesn’t fit.
That’s what baconlube is for.
Hmmm…You may have something there Starfish.
HI!!! did I get one?
I can’t see it 
Aw!! You did get it and it’s a dude shaking hands with everyone sitting on some sort of podium and he just falls in the end … kinda goes under.
Congrats!!!!!!
ha, that is funny!! thanks!
You are no longer a Powered By virgin abstract. TeeHee!!!!
She’s been….depowered?
*snork!*
*snork x 2*
So, that means I am one of the few ‘virgins’ who are regulars on FB.
There are more than a few of us I think.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride!
*sobs*
*pat pat* There, there Lurk.
We’re in this together.
*wails*
*cries into Leila’s shoulder*
Oh come on now. It’s not that bad really. You will lose your Powered By virginity one of these day when the right video comes along.
*wishes for a shamwow*
*stops crying*
You really think so?
*looks hopeful*
I apparently have one on the vote page, but it’s not all that funny so don’t expect it to make the homepage. I keep hoping for a good one.
I do Lurk. One way or another, we will all be DePowered as Judy succinctly put it.
*is comforted*
*squeezes Leila*
*gently bird-squeezes Avis*
*squeezes both Lurk and Avis (gently)*
She is a delicate bird.
*shakes with laughter*
You two are too sweet!!
*squeeze!*
I may be a prude, but I’m just going to wait for the right one to come along.
Yes you did!!! Congratulations!!!
May 28

May 28, 2009 at 10:01 am
I shake your hand? …no
It’s from the Gordon Brown Fail – the one with the crazy poster whom I imitated above.
wooo! that’s my first powered by ever!!!
Savor the moment!
Bask in the glory!
Relish the opulence!
Don’t fall off the FB dais–!!
Aw, a smooch on both cheeks for you!
Did he died?
died he didn’t
*1magines above comment spoken in Yoda voice*
Oh, Khaaaaan! No you d’int!!!
Hide Ed did!
TIMBER!!!!
Hahahaha! So THIS is where is shoulda been!
I was hoping avis would see this one today!
I can usually be here for the noon Fail. It’s the earlier ones and the weekends that I can’t always make. I’m just not in the house for those.
*squeeze*
Avis, thanks for last night. Maybe it was just the fever talking, but I found the entire exchange…hilarious!
An interesting night, last night was!
Moon Time?
Sun Time?
Star Time?
It was THWACK time last night!
I would have helped if I was here.
I saw his post initially and I started to respond and cancelled. I did not know what to say cuz I wasn’t sure what he was intending to convey.
Oh, I had help, no worries. *squeeze*
You had the armada of help! It was quite interesting reading for a Monday evening.
Never a dull moment here.
Yea, I pulled a back muscle when I choked down a lol. My family was sleeping.
Oh, and *squeeeze*
*flyby squeeze*
Yup!
You hit it this time!!!
Whooooo!!!!!!
Now I get it!
*Doesn’t*
I had a bit of a mix up with the fail vids last week. I thought handshake fail was gonna be this one ( I watch the vids when they’re on the vote page when I can because sometimes I can’t watch them on the home page) And TIMBER!!!! was what I posted then before I realized it was the wrong one.
Oh, that’s right. I remember, but Avis, that never happened. It was a push. You once thought you were wrong, but now you realized you were just mistaken. Hee.
Wrong? Mistaken?? Bah, she was just early. Very early.
*ROLF!*
WHY do I always do that!!!
*sigh*
Do you have laminate flooring?
My floors laugh. Just saying.
Laminate floors mock.
I show my kitchen floors what for with a Swiffer.
*ROLF*
Wonders if ZA has ever rolled his grave in Langdon? *RGIL*
You have to watch, this type of thing can be a widowmaker.
This was an attempt at a logging pun run. I fail.
*crashes in flumes*
I saw that.
buzzed saw
No, no. This is totally T-totalling timber.
Bubbly brewed barley beverages are for Brewski.
And he’s down for the count!
something soccered-it-to him*
___
*(sounds like it was a FIFA event)
He should have been more careful then. If he hadn’t put his foot on that ball this wouldn’t have happened.
heh … Berlusconi is infamous for his “scores.”
He is Blatter the president of FIFA, the guys are also talking about berlusconi but maybe about something they showed previously. this tv program is very famous in Italy is called “mai dire gol”, “never say goal”. it’s a sort of failblog but it’s only about soccer. It’s a very funny and popular tv program and his peculiarity is that there are always those 3 guys commenting al the scenes making jokes and so on!
Fall down go boom!
Aww! Poor puddy tat!
And congrats Abstract!!! *confettis*
*throws abstract*
*hugs confetti*
.
Wait. What?
.
Strike that; reverse it.
*abstract confetti*
*throws hugs*
*catches a hug*
*can’t figure out the meaning of the confetti*
It’s modern confetti. Open for interpretation.
Tilt your head sideways and squint.. see the spaceship? It’s not supposed to be there.
Oh, is this like the magic eye pictures?
*squints*
*crosses eyes*
I see a man falling down.
Ahh, unngh….
*picks self up*
That’s because I fell over trying to turn my head sideways.
Confetti need not be representational to be appreciated! This confetti was inspired by Jackson Pollock.
*stands on ladder*
*drops confetti to floor*
Yup, looks just like it!
Postmodern confetti…I have to admit, I prefer neo-historicist confetti, myself.
*throws romantic confetti everywhere*
Yah abstract!
Mal!
Erm…I mean, MAHL! Long time no see, bud.
Hmm…Silly String comes to mind.
Tehehe! DW! How’re you?
Huh?!?
*feels like the dude on the non-receiving end of the non-handshake*
*goes away to eat Chinese food*
Hee…! I do believe that is a nesting fail.
Or perhaps we look enough alike to be twins!
*squeezes for all*
Not sure if I fudged up…but it was good to see both of you…
Mal is probably already gone but… *SQUEEEEEZE* anyway.
woot! confetties Brewski for Pollock reference
*woman* ♀
oh, sorry, because I am falling too as velvet threw me
I see a bunny!
…..*twitches nose* …. i am a bunny
*catches hugs*
*wonders if there is a vaccine for it*
*wonders why he is seeing odd shapes and colors floating around*
Did everything taste purple for a minute there?
MRN! We need another arse shot over here!!!
*shoots Ms B in the arse*
.
Did I do that right?
*snork*
I love you Velvet!
*squeeze*
OWIE!!!! I’m still in pain from yesterday’s shot!!!!
Sorry – am I too late? No time to waste…
*shoots Ms B in the arse*
Oops – need to refresh more often…
MRN…you got a genuine LOL outta me!
*goes to corner crying*
I’m sorry – but look on the bright side – you won’t get sick again until at least 2011.
Does penicillin burn like a tetanus shot does? I am not ashamed to admit, I cried. That shot hurt like a mother!!!!!
I would liken it to a tetanus shot. They have to do it nice and slow. They tell you to relax your glutes…right, like that’s going to happen.
Did you end up with a nazi of a nurse? The kind that gets joy from inflicting more pain on you?
No. Both the nurse and the doctor were super nice. It’s hard to hate someone for inflicting pain when they’re being so nice!
*squeeze*
I hope you feel better soon, sweets.
*marks Ms B’s comment in notebook*
*attempts to peek in abstracts notebook*
What’s that? Memorable quotes?
Here’s a quote I heard today:
“If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun.”
–Katharine Hepburn
i like that Brewski! I think my notbook is for future use um in persuasion..
I throw notbooks at people as persuasion and threats all the time! They’re usually shoes.
Thanks, Dragon. I’m slowly seeing improvement.
*squeeze*
*throws a golden notbook at dilly*
let that be a Lessing to you
Yay!! And, everyone’s a critic.
*Hugs Ms. B*
Today isn’t your day huh?
*Turns back to Ms B and giggles mischeviously*
*hands aiki the i-drops*
*takes them back and puts on glasses*
It’s a miracle…I can see!
*snork!*
I’m in rare form today, lemme tell ya! :p
You missed my book reference last fail DW. I’ll bet you already knew that all killer whales are named Kevin, didn’t you.
*slips . out of comment, replaces with ?*
Quite a fluke, isn’t it?
Honestly, one of my all time favorite authors. This reminds me to ask ZA if zombies really do love IKEA.
*SO isn’t getting it*
Have you ever heard of Christopher Moore? “It’s a little known fact that zombies love nothing more, second to brains of course, than flat packed furniture.”
oh, wow, ZA, we have more in common than i thought! *snuggles flat packed furniture*
Christopher Moore has somehow slipped past me all these years. Curious too, since according to the entry I just found in Wikipedia it sounds like he’s my kind of author!
.
*slips note in wallet so he doesn’t forget the name like he usually does*
Damn it!!! Refresh the screen… refresh refresh refresh!
Sorry guys, working is doing funny things to me.
It’s poking you with a spoon?
*tries to resist asking “why a spoon?”*
*fails*
Why the spoon?
Because it’s dull, you twit! It’ll hurt more!
*facepalm*
And I walked right into it…
And I took full advantage of that.
*squeeze*
Kudos. That you did.
Teehee!
*squeeze*
I’m glad we stopped badgering aiki about the spoon.
I knew I could count on you!
How original.
*still trying to figure it out*
Maybe <i?Faiblog:The Book will have annotations. Would that be cool, or disappointing?
Maybe it will correct HTML typos, too.
Dilly knows the reference, I’m sure…
I do? I need a little hint. Man, time was I remembered everything anyone had ever said on this blog! Spelunker
DUH! I have failed in my religion! *self-flagellates*
*pokes Dragon*
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
I’m totally disillusioned. *sniffle* You didn’t get the “poke a badger with a spoon” original sin reference???
*breaks down and sobs*
*but still snorks at “spelunker”*
*suddenly feels much bettah*
I did, just failed for a minute! I just made dark chocolate baconated peanut butter cups and I don’t feel so good.
*Goes on rampage*
Tea and cake or death!
*gooses Dilly*
You feel pretty good to me! :p
*cries*
I try to leave a nice comment for Dragon and it’s awaiting moderation. When did they start telling us that, by the way? I prefer it to having the comment just randomly eaten for six hours!
Dilly!!! W00T W00T!!
Fluffernutter! I missed you!
Tryin’ again for ya, Dragon…testing…testing…

mmmm, purple *drools*
*catches hug* i hope this will break my fall when i come down
Ooh! Confetti!
*Hugs confetti*
Woop woop for Abstract.
astract, run!! Run!!!!
Wait, you don’t mean whoop ass, do you jam?
I believe it was woopsass and not the whoop ass you speak of.
Besides, I didn’t bring my whooping equipment today.
Aw…why not?
*hides still sore ass*
No reason.
I could understand if you said sore throat but ass???
Penicillin shot.
*grumble grumble*
Hurts worse than I thought it would.
Oh … whew!!! I thought someone did something to you here … I was worried.
Much better that it was IRL.
I think in my mind it is…
I got a whoops ass from jam yesterday and liked it.
*waggles eyebrows*
*catches abstract*
*doesn’t know what to do with her*
Give her to me… I can find a use.
*hands abstract over to Lulu???? *raises eyebrow**
Ummm… Let’s just pretend you didn’t see that. And the women’s clothing isn’t mine… it’s for…. uhhh… Abstract! Yeah! For her! to play out something…
I am not judging…
♪ Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed up muddled up shook up world, except for Lulu. ♪

(but Leila smiled and took him by the hand….)
It’s easy cuz he is such a cute and mischievous tiger.
Also a bit of a Blur-ry ref, darlin’
hi!
akkk *almost falls of stage*, Gene, is that you, you look kind of silvery and shiny
Watch that first step! It’s a Lulu!
Hey! What are you saying about me!?
That you need to take that first step, sweetie. It will all be easier after that.
♪ She walked up to me and she asked me to, um, two-step.
So I asked her her name and in a tiger-stripey voice she said, “Lulu.” ♪
*snork!*
♪ L – U – L – U luuulu ♫
What a great way to avoid someone!
Congrats Abstract! Woohoo!
Confetti throwing ensues!!!!
Someone break out the champagne!!!
*Breaks out champagne, starts pouring, falls down.*
*breaks bottle of champagne*
Oops….sowwy.
How about a beer?
way to go, abstract!
*sobs*
Oooh, what a waste.
No use crying over spilled Moët.
He broke the Kristal?
Shhhh! Mumm’s the word.
You brut!
Your glass seems to be getting low, may I Frexinet for you?
Sure, just give me a sec.
Oo! Are we having a party?
*puts on slinky black dress that shows off Cuvée figure*
Slinky black dress? Now that’s a vintage look. You won’t blend into the crowd, that’s for sure.
Aww…you made my cheeks all rosé.
She’s too sparkly.
Would I be a rude brut if I asked for a dance?
And fluffy has a bubbly personality!
She certainly has tempranilloment.
*takes hand, swirls*
Nice legs!
*puts Cava lily between teeth*
*pinotettes on toes*
You’re sekt to none.
We are a Grand Cru…aren’t we?
I must go seek some doux drops here.
*picks some astilbe for the Kristal vase*
Oh, dom! I hate when that happens!
perignon the thought
Fuzzy! The Veuve of you! I’ll show you a dom.
^ oooh la la! a champ of pain!!
Just watch where you pop your cork this time.
“cork-opener-thingy’s dilly*
Ow! Oh, wait…
LOL!!
.
*it’s a little death spiral*
La petite Moët?
*dies laughing*
*sigh* SHE.
ah, beer works, thanks!
*breaks the champagne*
Don’t cut yourself Starfish.
Ooops, too late. Now I have to wait a week before that one grows back.
It…
grows back?
I bet John Bobbit would have appreciated that talent.
It would have saved him from the bolts and the fear of villagers.
Lorena would have just kept hacking it off.
Did anyone ever see his adult video? Be honest.
I honestly didn’t even know he did one, but now I’m both scared and slightly intrigued. It’s like driving by a car crash. You hope everyone is ok, you really do, but you can’t help trying to see if anything gross and twisted happened. That’s how I feel about this video.
Ok, so your homework is to check it out and tell us all about it, yes?
I can’t tell which is more wrong, the title of that movie, the star of that movie or the motive for that movie.
We saw John Bobbit do stand-up comedy a few years after “the incident.” Poor guy needs all the talent he can find…
You bet, and if you cut enough of me off, a whole new me grows. Comes in handy with multi-tasking.

Thanks for the earworm, nightshayde.

Always happy to share Disney magic!

Yes! The Take Care Clinic! And make sure to get the good stuff!
*tosses more confetti*
Congrats Abstract!
Yippee for Abstract!
Woo hoo Abstract!

I C your point(er).
Abstract is in a class all his own
(Pssst! Abstract didn’t inherit any Y chromosomes.)
Oops! Errr… sorry for (poly)morphing you into a man, Abstract! Poor form on my part…
hmm … sounds more like a biotech class than electrical engineering
You didn’t take a class on inheritance?
You should have objected!
oh laws of coaxial gene-spliced mercy!!
He may be out of bounds on that one. Let him be, so he will compile with our methods.
Thanks emp, you provided the missing link!
You got to give input to get some out put. Yay no exceptions.
I was surprised by the initial error since abstract declares her variables.
Yes, she does #define them in a constant way. All you have to do is reference her name.
(and she’s a type with a lot of class!)
She also has Class brew. (Naming conventions drilled into my mind by a random generator)
I will initialize my own beating. Hee.
thanks *checks down below* nope, no man parts
Three cheers for Abstract!!
HIP HIP HOORAY!
HIP HIP HOORAY!
AHEM!!!
(I’m relying on you guys for the third. I don’t have another cheer to my name.)
HIP HIP HOORAY!
HIP!
KNEE!
METATARSAL!
ILIUM ISCHIUM HOORAY!
Ongo Bongo Boingo?
Only a lad could understand that.
Oingo Boingo is my favorite band. It’s true!
This is where we need ZA to come in and join the party.
Who could ask for more?
Everybody’s coming – leave your body at the door. Leave your body and soul at the door.
Don’t run away, it’s only me.
*wheels in confetti cannon*
*checks for bodies first, finds none*
*fires across room*
Congrats Abstract!
Brings new meaning to blowing in the wind….
Man…that sucks.
♫ heavy metal thunder! ♫
Sounds tantalizing…I’m down with that.
I’ll save the breast for you.
I’ll bring a passion fruit cöcktail for dessert.
Is the hen wild or domestic?
I doubt if it was domesticated to begin with 5E, but I can guarantee after a trip through the confetti cannon it’s quite wild now!
thanks!! *catches confetti…. throws it again*
thank you, thank you. *bows*
Oh hello everyone!!
*OOOFFF*
Ow!!!!!
*offers Leila a hand*
*”falls” too*
Oh my, however did I end up in a pit with Leila?
*evil laugh*
♪ …get in the pit and try to love someone!!!!!♪
I hope those are the lyrics Jimbo.
Why, that was just the song playing in my head. You mind reading minx you!
*european smooch*
I could give you an American smooch but you probably already had some of those.
I could always use another, especially from a lovely lady in body paint.
*offers cheek*
*grins mischeviously*
*makes loud SMOOOOOCH!!!! noise on Jimbo’s cheek*
There you go!!!
Why Mrs Leila, I simply do not know what to say…. How about I help you out of this pit?
*lifts Leila out of the pit, surreptitiously checking out her booty*
Whoooooo!!!!!!
Oh, hey now…
That’s some packet loss.
ACK!
That kind of loss is SYNful.
This is an encrypted pun run for many people.
If we have a large-size window, perhaps they can peek in and FINally understand.
*sticks head into thread*
The ladies restroom on this fail is running low on T(C)P!
*the picture that made in my head was replaced with LOREN IPSUM text*
(Forgot all about this pun-run…)
Take ours, DW,. I’m a guy, so IP just fine without it.
Just make sure to use a toilets with flow control.
*headdesk*
*takes aim and zaps “S” from previous comment*
Heck, actually even a port-a-potty will suffice.
This is one network you don’t want to sniff!
She shoots! She scores!!!
Nothing but ethernet!!!!
How many times have you polished your token ring already?
This run doesn’t seem to have any terminator.
It wouldn’t be hard to coax more puns out.
Just remember to eat plenty of fiber.
Looks like it’s about time to switch subjects.
Have some of this. It’s multi-layered.
A swing and a miss...I hope his head didn’t strike the floor too hard. He needs to repeat to himself “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home!”
Is he wearing the ruby slippers???
That’s why he slipped.
And tripping all over.
Someone needs to rub(y) his ass and make it all better.
I see I failed to drive home a baseball punrun. Ah well, I can have a ball anyway!
Can I tie the two pun runs together by mentioning Ozzie Smith?
That’s a wicked pun MRN!! You knocked it out of the park.
That was a toto home run.
Like it was hit by Big Poppy…
hee … another run for the ruby stockings
Yep, he’s a wizard with that bat. He gives the other players courage and heart. If they only had a brain off the field, sometimes.
Just follow the yellow brick road to the new pun run.
Maybe you didn’t pitch it right?
No, I think it just came out of left field.
No, it was me. Sometimes I can bring a short stop to a pun run.
It doesn’t really matter, we got it back on (the warning) track.
It’s okay, Judy! *squeeze*
You always provide great comic relief!
how about we do THE WAVE!?
*starts THE WAVE*
*squeeze*
*pitchers the relief*
MAN this is funny!! I keep watching just to hear the announcer. It’s like he’s calling a soccer game!! This is how failblog used to always be
Uh..Uh!! I almost forgot. I got the pics loaded on flickr concerning DW.
CLICKIE!!!!
*SNORK!!*
I don’t think I’ve never mentioned this, but DW are (is?) my real-life initials, and I still occasionally do that *perk* thing you do when you hear/see your name when someone references DW here.
… But that wasn’t me either.
haha!! So…what is your affiliation with the store in the pic? Hmmmm????
I am SO busted.
Thanks for getting me off the hook there.
Just remember…you now owe me.
*wicked grin*
*rushes to DW Video to rent some BluRay discs*
I hope you can throw a party Brewski. I will definitely come to watch the movies.
So THAT’S where she keeps them!
I saw nothing!
I did nothing!
I know nothing!
Methinks thou doth protest too much!
Preemptive protesting?
Dammit! Now I’ll have to find a new hiding place!
HeeHee!!
I was trying to get a close up but it’s really not recommended while doing 80mph on the highway. I am really surprised I got the shots.
That’s HIGH-larious, Leila…thanks!
oh, totaly off topic… I went to Upstate NY this weekend. From here it is a 5 hour drive. I went up Friday morning, went around town, visited with family, etc. then Saturday I got up early, took Eric (my boyfriend) to one of the parks in the area, then on a tour of Round Lake, then we went to my family reunion. I ate a ton!!!! and drank plenty
I passed out for about 40 min. Then we drove 4.5 hours home. Our frind’s house is on the way, so we decided to stop off. Had annother beer, and needless to say, I was exhausted. Toward the end of the evening, someone said something funny, and instead of laughing, i was too tired, i said, “I’m laughing” it was so funny to everyone that I ended up laughing after all.
nice to get off track once in a while i always say
You didn’t say, ” asterisk laughing asterisk”?
Where were you, exactly? Near Albany? My g/f family lives near Binghamton, NY.
in Saratoga Springs, about and hour north of Albany. no, i maneged not to say the asterisks, but i didn’t even crack a smile, it was so weird, i just said, “i’m laughing”
Sweet! I will being moving to Plattsburgh in 2 weeks!
Say what?? When did this happen? What’s the story?
You’ll be a boat-ride away from Burlington! They have lots of good beer there!
Oh, Magic Hat! From what I can tell, they use a lot of Cascade hops in their beers – my favorite! (especially Roxy Rolles in the winter) I also remember going to what I think was the Vermont Pub and Brewery, sitting on the patio, drinking ale, eating sweet potato fries…
Yep, I have a Vermont Brewery t-shirt. There’s also Flatbread pizza’s brewery, Three Needs, and Switchback. And some good beer bars.
Ooooh…now I want to go have lunch at Flatbranch here in town. It’s a microbrewery with some really good food and REALLY great beer…
*drools*
Woops, sorry DW.
*grabs shamwow to wipe off drool*
Hah! Now I know how to get a guy to drool all over me. Just mention beer!
Wait…I already knew that…
Good to know. That’s a really… useful… skill.
Yeah, I don’t know why I got all excited about it. The thrill of discovery, mayhap.
*Is considering going into Saliva Collection*
Shall I call you Pavlov?
Ivan will do.
*ding, ding*
Hmmm….
Beer!
Dwight, why are you holding your hand out like that?
I don’t know. My mouth suddenly tastes weird.
My in-laws have a house near Burlington, and I’m always impressed with how great a beer town it is.
Take the Magic Hat brewery tour if you ever get the chance, they don’t take themselves too seriously.
Yum… sweet potato fries…
You guys are making me homesick!
Yup. I am actually from the Burlington area. Lived there for 15 years. Now the fiancee is going to school in Plattsburgh for Speech and language path (a masters in it) so we will be moving out there 2 days after our wedding. I am so excited, my best friend still lives in Burlington too.
Oo! Exciting!
I have a degree in speech-path, too, aiki. It’s a GREAT field.
Thats what she seems to think. She wants to practice giving me wada tests… I hate needles.
She is trying to get into the clinical side of it, particularly in geriatrics, stroke victims, etc…
that does sound pretty cool! I’d love to get into that kind of field, but i have a hard time staying with something, i have too many interests…
I worked with preschool deaf children, but I did a stint in a hospital with stroke victims. I also worked a little with people who have swallowing disorders…that was interesting.
*snerk*
My mind just went somewhere completely different than you intended, I think.
*SNORKROFFLE!*
Let me guess… you were thinking of swallow, the bird?
*spits*
I prefer *ducks*.
Hee!
Really? You have more degrees than a thermometer.
Haha! I was thinking that, too! How many do you have, Dragon?
*snork*
Four. I collect degrees the way some of my friends collect ex-husbands.
nice area, hope you have fun out there, I wish I could live up there too sometimes. most of my family is up there, but my parents and friends are all down here.
*SNORKIE!!*
At least you didn’t say “LOL” out loud.
that would have been the end of my “street cred.” then. LOL!!!
Word!
True dat.
Sounds like the time I woke up in a hotel room at an intense multi-day sign language workshop, and I was signing #OFF+++ at the television set. My roommate asked me, “What are you doing??” I mumbled something about trying to turn the TV off. She exclaimed, “Try using the remote!”
Lol.
That is even remotely funny.
ROFL!! yeah, that sounds about right
damn, i said the ‘i’ word.
“i talk in my sleep sometimes if i’m not sleeping well. now !magine sleep away camp…
“
I went to camp with a girl who STRIPPED in her sleep. Not with a pole or anything, she’d just wake up naked every morning. Unpleasant for all involved.
Unpleasant?
*head spins*
Well, I guess just for her, kids don’t forget about stuff like that…or at least I remember it still! But at least she wasn’t a bedwetter, that’ll scar a girl for life.
Welcome back, Brewski! Was your trip everything you had hoped for and more?
Hi NS! Thanks!
Yes, it was great. Good food, good people, work went very well, and I got to do a little touristy type stuff. Not that SE China is a tourist spot. But it was interesting, nonetheless. I toured a historic village, and did some shopping in a mall of gargantuan proportion. They had all kinds of pirate goods… software, designer handbags, wristwatches, sunglasses, etc. The Chinese are very good at copying, and there’s little to no enforcement. I bought a Rolex that is a very exact duplicate of the real thing. I don’t think you’d be able to tell them apart if held side-by-side.
The most interesting part to me, however, is learning about the culture and the people.
*dangles shiny objects and whistles aimlesly*
*dangles shiny objects and whistles more directly* WHO WANTS SHINY OBJECTS, SHINY OBJECTS OVER HERE!!
here ya go, one nice bigshiny object for you!!
Are you fishing for an LCB, abstract?
If she is, she’s using the right bait.
…and I fell for it?
Yes. Yes you did.
*gooses abstract and walks away*
oooooh hee hee!
actually, for Leila, but I had a feeling it might atract LCB…that would be ok, i have many many shiny objects to give out
If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?
I would have telekenisis/telepathy because I could use it for just about everything. even to make myself fly.. pop into a bank and empty the drawers without being seen….like a Jedi…”there is nothing of interest here”
What, you mean if I could have one more?
OK, for you, if you had to give up one superpower, what would it be?
Hmm…the heat vision probably.
So you’re not going to pop this popcorn for me?
*pouts and starts to walk away*
I haven’t given it up yet!
*pops popcorn*
Thank you!! I was starving.
*squeeze*
Movie you are thinking about is Jumpers.
The ability to know what people are thinking.
what if you get stuck next to sarah palin… do you really wanna know what she’s thinking?
Oh, here we go… You know what’s interesting? She’s being replaced by Sean Parnell. I’m sure all the comedians made this observation, but I like the fact that they don’t even have to change the monogrammed towels in the guv’s mansion’s (or giant igloo’s) bathrooms.
I’m with you on that. I’d only use it for good purposes though. Honest!
I admit I wouldn’t.
I don’t need super powers to read your mind right now, MRN!
urp!
MRN, do you really want to know what the likes of Paris Hilton are thinking? Or, would you be a little more selective.
Interesting that the negatives on mind reading seem to revolve around not being able to shut off the power. The assumption with the other powers is that you can use them selectively. Can you !magine if you could only travel at super speed?
invisibility, cuz I wanna be that unseen fly on your wall.
i can do that with my telepathy….
Prove it.
um, look out your window at around 3:42am your time…
Hey! I didn’t see anyone outside my window last night. Was that you?
No, that was me.
Both times?
No, I was only there once.
Of all the classic super powers, I would want to be able to fly super fast, as long as I could carry Mrs. and Baby Starfish while I’m flying. I love to travel so much, but airfare is too expensive and flying overseas takes too long, especially with kids.
I’m with you, starfish. Forget mind-reading. No way do I want to know what people are thinking. But flying around at high speed? Cool!
That is usually something I wish for during the drive home from work. Stooopit traffic!
I thought about having the powers to fly but then I was thinking about teleportation. It’s faster and less bugs on your teeth.
Oooooo, I didn’t think of that. Teleportation would be good for the whole bug thing. One thing I would miss by not being able to fly is all the beatiful things you could see while flying. Also, I’m a roller coaster nut and think it would be cool to zip through places like a fighter plane. I think I would rather fly, but teleportation would be a close second.
I’d like to be able to teleport like White Mages do in Final Fantasy XI Online. I would be able to take five people (and whatever everyone is carrying) with me, cast a spell, and *poof* be somewhere else. Teleport-Disneyland and Teleport-Las Vegas would be the first two teleport spells I’d want.
I must admit, the geek in me has always wanted to Travel like the characters in the Wheel of Time series. Just open up a Gateway and there I am!
♥ My favorite series! I met Robert Jordan at a signing 2 years ago. It was funny, he started by spending 10 minutes giving us proper pronunciations
I loved those books up to a point. Then I just got pissed because he could have finished the series in four books and instead dragged it on and on and on and on and ON AND ON…..
That and the fact that he couldn’t write a sympathetic female character. But every now and then, I’ll go back and reread the first two, which is where I think he peaked.
The last book is supposed to come out in November! It’s a good thing he took lots of notes.
I think I stopped reading them at book eight.
*snork*
Book eight is the WORST one in the series. I re-read it recently and skipped whole chapters. Book six isn’t far behind it. But nine is my favorite so far.
Wow, I must live under a rock! How many books are there in the series?
It will finish off with eleven. But honestly I thought he was going to drag it off to 13. That number pops up a lot with him.
At the signing for book 11 I went to, he said, “There will only be one more book. It may come with it’s own hand cart because of it’s size, but there will only be one more.”
It really did get aimless in the middle books, but in 10 you could tell he was bringing things to an end.
My bad! 12! It will end with 12.
Oops! Then add 1 to all the numbers in my comment up there. ↑
I really did like all that he accomplished story-line wise in nine. Especially after the snoozer eighth book, it was a nice to see stuff happen.
I started reading that series when I was a junior in high school. A friend told me it was a trilogy. At the time, there were only three books published. I nearly exploded.
Yeah, 8 was a frustrating read. That’s when I came closest to giving up on the series. I’m glad I didn’t, and that things picked up.
Book eight is the one I got signed. I like book four the best. When the books started to cover only about two weeks worth of time, I got annoyed.
*Doesn’t read the rest of thread, just sees Final Fantasy and begins reminiscing*
addicted toplaying the online game for over five years now, as has my husband. We’re a nice little geeky couple.For the whole series of Final Fantasies I still play FFVII and VIII for the original playstation. I blame Sony for making me this nerd I am today.
I’d have something like Wolverine’s ability to heal, or be impervious to disease, injury, degeneration, etc. My body has always been my kryptonite…I could get on with my plans to take over the world if my body would just stop trying to kill me!
What are we going to do tonight, Dragon?
NARF!
Are you pondering what I’m pondering??
Uh, I think so, but where will we find a duck and a hose at this hour?
Hee…!
I’ve been wanting to incorporate NARF into my comments for days now! Finally an opening!
POIT!
I am Pinky Suavo, do you like my ensem-ble?
Brain: What is a “gonk?” Would you mind telling me that?
Pinky: It’s like a NARF! But from outside.
I wish I would eat all the chocolate in the world and not worry about gaining weight.
OooOOOoooh! That is a good one!
i can do that with my telepathy

By the way, “Voldemort” is what I call my ex-husband. Just thought you should know.
Of all the mortals in the world…
His plastic surgeon must be amazing.
Why Lurk?
My friend Connie came up with the idea because I never refer to him by his name. Only “my ex” or things like that.
“Hey! I know! You should call him Voldemort!”
“Thanks Connie! That’s a great name!”
.
*Is obviously missing something here*
The bit you’re missing is my history with him. Let’s just say that he’s an evil, evil man.
I’m guessing he became evil after you married him?
That’s usually how it happens.
No, he was just very good at hiding the evil.
One of those eh Lurk?
“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men??? Only THE SHADOW knows!!!”
Did you not read Harry Potter?
Voldemort is known as “He Who Must Not Be Named”.
*squeezes Brewski*
Thank you! That was it exactly.
so is “He Who Must Not Be Named” in any way related to……..”The Artist Formerly Known As Prince”?
*acts confused*
we call my brother’s ex “She Who Must Not Be Named.”
hey, that’s my line!!! *grrrrrrr*
For those in the darkness, like me…Joseph Blatter is the president of the FIFA, and if you don’t know what that is, either you live on a box or in hogwarts.

Whats FIFA?
Something to do with kicking a ball around. Not very popular in the US, but really big everywhere else in the world. Wait for it….
GOOOOAAALLLLLL!!!!!
one-nil
Strangely enough, it is extremely popular among suburban children in the US (at least here in the Northeast), which might confuse some non-US people when I use phrases like “soccer mom” to describe someone.
It falls off dramatically in popularity among adults in the US, probably because there is so little scoring(?) Hockey is not that popular in the US either, so maybe we’re hard-wired to not appreciate sports with continuous action and little “result”. Even basketball, which is very popular in the US, is more about big scoring dunks and not a great appreciation of defense or setting up the scoring play. I know I’m generalizing here…
That’s too bad. Soccer and hockey happen to be my favorite sports!
I grew up in Buffalo, NY, and when I was a kid we used to take our sleeping bags to the auditorium where the Sabres played and wait all night for the general admission tickets to go on sale for the hockey game 30 days later. Amazing when I think about it now.
me like hockey
OK, then how do you explain baseball’s popularity? Before they expanded the league, 1-0 scores used to be commonplace. And low-scoring games are still pretty common.
Ugh. Baseball is soooo boring, in my opinion.
I’ve found it’s only (if then, somewhat) entertaining if someone you know is playing.
I see your point, Qwaz.
Most low-scoring games can be a little boring to people who like higher-scoring sports like American football and basketball. However, In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with seeing a minor league hockey game. At the rink, you feel the energy, the checking is hardcore, and the refs make little attempt to break up the fights. Even if the teams suck, the game still rocks!
I’ll be honest – I cannot explain baseball’s popularity, although I used to love it when I was a kid (up until about age 14), probably because for some reason it is so full of odd statistics, more so than other sports.
Even with low scores, it is easier to see progress toward a score in baseball (getting to first, then 2nd, etc) then in soccer or hockey. There are discrete steps. Also, it is more of a one-on-one confrontation, which appeals to people.
Don’t like soccer, but I am a big hockey fan in the South…Go Wings. I used to watch the Houston Aeros with Gordy Howe and his sons way back in the day….
FIFA 5 eagles is the International Federation of Association Football

(no disrespect, 5 Eagles — I admire folks who look up stuff … just like TMI Service does …)
The word confetti is a plural form of the Italian word confetto, which means “sweetmeat” or “candy”. It is related to the word “confection.” We get the word from the way candies used to be tossed at Italian carnivals.
.
“Fête” comes from French for “festival” and is related to “feast.”
.
… and now fuzz has a hungry for some reason … bbl …
What the heck you too are the same person LOL. You are an Italian?Mr fuzzon. One of my teachers (pipe) is Italian. he says some words i don’t understand.

I have the last comment again.
I see this as more of a platform building fail wtf was their a gap in it?
Yes Rayna my thoughts exactly. I guess to save room for somebody to fall in.
goodnight friends, I have to run, but I just wanted to say thank you for all the congratulations! I can’t even !magine what a real celebrity feels like. Sorry if I missed anyone specificly. love you all (not the trolls) see you tomorrow!
I looked and looked and didn’t see what you won abstract? But my fault.
Congratulation and many more.
She powered the fail, 5E. You know, pause right when it fades to black and see the powered by comment …
OOHHHH that is what it means to powered by. I do I power a fail?
so good. love how he reaches out for support but to no avail.
No walkthroughs for him.

At least he had a nice trip?
at least he didn’t buy the farm he never left
I was next door at the Engrish blog, and according to them, “starfish usually cooked a soup with crude drugs.” Uh…Has anyone seen Starfish lately?
Not for a couple hours.
Remind me not to eat his soup.
I’m just hoping he’s not IN the soup. You never know, with those Engrish translations.
Double remind me not to eat that soup.
Don’t eat the soup.
Don’t eat the soup.

YOU NAME COPIER!!!! At least I read the books first. You probably just saw the movie.
*look around…
Uhhh, sorry?I think this was supposed to nest in “Voldemort’s” thread. Because, you know, no one EVER reads these days.
Or maybe it was directed somewhere completely different!
oh. and uh…
TAG!
Aauughh!!…
You want the avatar too? Jeez.
*read books TWICE*
Oohh, you mean this guy...I don’t think he’s really referring to me. I’ve never seen Ivan Qwaz in a book anywhere.
I think he's paranoid.Well he has no right to use that name anymore. It’s mine!
Is he gonna get me?
And if he is talking to you, you were here f!rst! Therefore, he is the imposter! And a troll to boot.
Maybe he’s just a Radiohead fan?
He’s admitted that much. The question is…. does he have reason to be?
That depends… Are you carrying fish? Shellacked or otherwise?
No.
But I know where they are….
*5 eagles walks pulls the shelklacked fish from his mouth and hands it to Avis the shellecked fish*
Here it is, I had to get it out of my big mouth.
I had trouble understanding this comment.Long story lost my cool with AA. I sometimes ask to many questions.
And I added to many shellacked fish I think lol.
I just ate the last book. What does that get me???
Urp!
A high five!
The good thing about movies you can eat popcorn.
You can do it with books too but you actually realize you’re eating popcorn.
But you get butter stains on the corners. Yes and you don’t miss when eating popcorn with a book like a movie.
Tip for goin to action movies with popcorn: If you’re gonna go alone, sit with an empty seat on both sides cuz at the interesting parts some dude’s gonna jack your corn.
Oh, sorry. That was you?*Gasp!* You’re a MONSTER!
*realizes this will sound odd*
When at home, I eat popcorn with chopsticks for that very reason. And reading books is VERY much like watching a movie for me. If the story is involving enough, I forget I’m reading and watch the mind-movie the words create.
Dean Koontz is very good at making mind-movies.
Have you read the Odd Thomas series?
Only one of them. I have read many, many books by Koontz. And the way he writes makes for vivid mind !mages, this is true. But when you’ve read 5 of his books, you’ve pretty much read them all. All the women are strikingly similar to each other. All the kids are incredibly bright, attentive, well behaved, etc. All the protagonists are fairly quite mildly eccentric 40ish men (Odd Thomas is the exception).
*ahem*
*switches the “quite” for “quiet”*
Sorry ’bout that.
The only books by him I’ve read are the Odd Thomas’.
Quite frankly they are all I want to read by him for fear of the other books falling short of the bar Odd set for me.
I recommend Darkfall and Whispers, there’s also one about a super-intelligent dog ( I have forgotten the name of it- I remember what the damned dog named his kids {yes, he’s that smart} but have forgotten the title) that is worth the read. Don’t read Darkfall at night though.
Darkfall, Whispers, and The Darkest Evening of the year about Antoine the super intelligent guide dog. Don’t read Darkfall at night. Got it.
The one with the dog is pretty fun. Darkfall is just plain spooky. In a good way. Assuming you like to have the sh!t scared out of you.
I don’t necessarily LIKE to, but it sure is fun.
*likes it*
We have established that I am an odd one, yes?
Indeed we have.
*Accepts this*
I am not a Koontz fan, but if you like a good scare and it’s not too wierd, a good perusing of the serial killer portion of crimelibrary(dot)com will definitely put chills up your spine.
*Is DEFINATELY going to avoid that for now*
No offense, But it’s 1 in the morning here.
Chan, as a general rule, I try to keep my chills & thrills on the fictitious side. This way I can sleep….. better.
I completely understand. It’s less a look for cheap thrills and more an interest in the why of it all, but I get the aversion there.
Don’t get me wrong! I do peek in on such sights. Or read books in that vein. On occasion. Usually during daylight hours. I have an over-active and vivid !mag!nat!on.

Side note: Spellchecker did NOT catch !mag!nat!on.
*finds that odd*
Maybe spellchecker didn’t know what you were saying, and just ignored it completely?
I always say I’m just “going to have a peek”, and then I get sucked in. They’ll mention something about another case, and then I’ve got to go read about that one too… It’s kind of wierd, but the more I read, the more I feel a sort of obligation to the victims to continue. Sort of a “full of sound and fury” thing. It should signify something.
*Realizes she got waaayyyy too serious there*
Sorry.
Just got done reading Ted Bundy’s case file.
*Is glad he is not female, slender, and straight haired.*
With long brown hair parted in the middle?
You know, that started that whole thing around that time with the bleaching? Women in the area thought it would make them less of a target because he went after brunettes. It started to spread, and morphed into a fashion thing.
I know he’s been executed but you can’t be too safe. Have you ever SEEN Saw??
*Dyes hair blonde. Lookin fine.*
You’re right. It’s a scary world! And on that note, I’m off to head home! Nighty-night… Sleep tight, FBers!
Is this random comment day?I believe that was a nesting fail.
Jeopardy is on in five minutes yes Jeopardy, ya Billy Babbitt.
*whispers:* I think you mean CharlieBabbitt?
I was reading comments about books versus movies.

And you, as well, and don’t eat yellow snow. Or yellow concrete. *squeeze*
I’M SORRY!!!!!!!
Next time I’ll let ‘em find out the hard way!
*picks up misplaced comment off the ground*
What do we have here?I was about to ask, let who find out what the hard way?
It's from the interrupted Dragon-Admiral run. ^^I found that. I was having a hard time finding somewhere where continuity occured. It all makes sense now!
Don’t forget mr
there.
Oh, sweet! I made an Emoticon!
It’s not misplaced. TRUST ME!!
Oh, yeah. It makes sense now.*goes up to check out the pun-run*
Uh-oh.
Ummmmm…. I think I should hide now.
I think I should too.I still have my bunker I lent to Marius, should you guys want to use it.
*starts a protection program for those (including herself) witless enough to interrupt a Dragon/Admiral steamy pun-run*
*names it “Witless Protection” for good measure*
I don’t understand why you need protection. I was the witless one; you were merely on an errand of mercy. *Sigh* Please forgive me.
*squeeze!*
*Looks at Recent Comments section*
*Wonders what will happen if McChicken catches up to us*
In two weeks? Not much.
Sure it will take awhile, but they may go crazy once they’ve run out of fails to comment on and just start attacking people.
And with the multitude of fish, the bull, AND the whale (not to mention the GLOWER and possibly the FOOM!!) , do we really need to worry?
I guess when you put it that way, we really do have quite the arsenal on our hands.
Said arsenal does not in any way diminish the capacity for any failer to wipe the floor with the dweeb.
*Checks Laser*
Indeed it doesn’t.
*poke-poke*
I have a finger for a weapon.
Ow!
Jeez, that thing’s deadly!
Just don’t pull it.
…silent but deadly.
A finger is an appropriate weapon for a digital battlefield.
*wink-wink*
*nudge-nudge*

Hah, Sepp Blatter. Classic.
Can’t say he doesn’t deserve it.

Heh. The first time I watched this, I was listening to “Bodies”.
It worked out quite nicely.
This would have been 113% better if he’d got a grip on the other fellas hand before he fell
Che bello, gli italiani su failblog!!!
I Gialappi sono grandi!
Cool! Italian on Failblog!!!
The Gialappa’s band (speakers in this video) are GREAT!!!
How many time must I say it! It’s step step, then shake!
That is Sepp Blatter, the idiot president of FIFA, the governing body of world football.
