Most auto glass these days are tempered, allowing them to shatter into thousands of small pieces instead of a few dagger sized shards. The glass in this fail is no different, notice how it explodes into thousands of pieces even where he doesn’t touch it.
.
It’s part of the reason why people like the putz in this fail keep appearing in fails – they never learn because they never get seriously hurt.
Dunno ’bout the bunker, but my tempered glass shower stall door shattered right behind me as I was brushing my teeth once. Loudest sound I’ve ever heard, and it kept going as the chunks of glass kept cascading down into the bathtub.
After prying the toothbrush out of the back of my throat, I would have to change my shorts.
.
WN, it did this all by itself? No one fell through it or anything? That’s flat out freaky …
*hears Twilight Zone theme playing in his head*
Butt his little asscapade’s gonna make his rates asscalate asstronomically; there’s no asscaping it.
.
(And asscargo’s, his is prolly now like a snail.)
Whoops, sorry Leila, this isn’t equipped with proper safety equipment. Besides, it wouldn’t be proper of me to handle these curves.
*takes the first exit*
As soon as I saw his first attempt I said, “he’s gonna try it again, and he’s going through that back window when he does.” Why a handstand on the trunk lid of a car anyways?
Thanks, Admiral. The funny thing about the painful burn, I forgot about it completely when the aches kicked in. This has not been a good week for me…
I checked on it this morning though, and it’s starting to peel. So, we’ve reached the itchy stage. Fun!
*summons Red Stripe nurse*

Guinness gracious, he looks terrible!
Usually I wouldn’t mind a beauiful gal sitting on me but curse you Leila. Wait you’re her clone? Leila would never do this to the awesome technicolor right?
“Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there’s usually only one thing you can do.”
“What’s that?”
“Go through his clothes and look for loose change.”
Auto glass is very difficult to break, under some circumstances. I’ve seen a guy take a full swing with a fire ax and watched it bounce off. Then again, I’ve seen a fireman break a car window with his key chain. That guy is probably 200 pounds, that should be plenty on top of a back window.
It’s funny, I once cracked my windshield by tossing my keys on the dashboard (an unlucky hit). I was angry before I did it and seeing the crack didn’t help my attitude much.
Speaking of the temperature difference, my own FML story happened a couple months ago on one of the first sunny, hot (but not as hot as it gets down here in July/August!) days of the year. I finally decided to wash all the pollen off my car. Proud of myself, I turned the hose on to rinse the car first. I hear a THUNK. Huge freaking crack down the front of the windshield. Because I washed my car.
Nope, virtually the same temp Jimbo. It was an unlucky hit, I had a metal Alpine key tag attached and it wedged itself with it’s bottom edge on the end of the dashboard padding and the top corner on the windshield. I was amazed it cracked, it was a one in a million toss of the keys onto the dash.
That said, thanks Bearly for scaring me out of washing my truck anytime soon.
Yes, but there is a difference between tempered glass and laminated glass. Have you seen that video of guy trying to headbutt his way through the windshield, and it won’t break? That’s what laminated glass does. Tempered glass will still shatter when hit hard enough.
You actually have to cut laminated glass to remove it. In fire school they taught us how to remove a windshield with an axe. You cut all along the edge until you can fold it up onto the roof of the car.
Thanks to the invention of You Tube, the world has really gotten to see the extent of idiocracy in the world. Hospitals and other businesses thank you.
I think you mean “idiocy” (as in “extremely foolish behavior”), as opposed to “idiocracy” (as in “ruled by idiots”). Just because internet video has served to spotlight the idiots of the world, it doesn’t mean that the idiots are ruling the world (at least, not just yet, lol)–it only means that there are a lot of them.
HI EVERYONE!!!! i thing i’m building a super-human tollerance to caffiene. I just drank a 24 oz coffee and a 12 oz red bull and i’m still falling asleep at my desk… does anyone know anything that works better and won’t make me too jittery?
A good night’s sleep before you get to work, Abstract!
Um, seriously, the things I can think of are mostly illegal, but perhaps that 5-hour energy boost thing that the football players advertise? Has anyone tried it?
Yes, I’ve tried the 5 hour energy shot. It has the caffeine of a cup of coffee, plus a ton of vitamin B12 and B6. No sugar. I’ve had good results, but only use it when caffeine isn’t working for me, and I absolutely NEED to be awake. The lemon lime flavor is disgusting, the others taste like Smarties.
You could try cocaine, but the I think that also fails your not jittery condition. Of course I don’t think you were interested in heart failure either, so maybe you should just get more coffee.
yeah. maybe i’m still worn out from all the running this weekend. i have off tomorrow to try to get things done around the house from when it exploded on our way out of town……. maybe i’ll just sleep late and take it easy in the morning
love it! we have this game at my friends house called “you’re in the movies” and it uses a camera that puts your image on the TV. we usualy play during parties, and the guys love to pretend they’re in beer commercials. We always yell at our one firend, “label out, label out”
Sleepy? Having trouble making it to work without drifting head-on into a milk-truck and exploding in a gigantic milky fireball? Well, we have your solution! The self-flagellator! Simply thrash the spiked tails against your back, arms, and legs, and you’ll be wide awake and screaming in pain in no time!

I am making a salad of roasted corn, grape tomatoes and chives. Another salad of roasted fingerling potatoes, green beans, tropeo onion, cucumber and red bell pepper. I’ll make pesto as well, in a little while.
There’s another free concert at Millennium Park this evening and I’m planning a picnic!
I’m working on figuring out a picnic business. Something with maybe 4 fixed menus, that you could order for 2 or for 4, and that you could pick up at the pavilion.
And no, I won’t be adding any other “supplies” to the items provided.
Though that would be funny!
More like picnic bag (the nice kind with handles) for 4 $80.
Everything is from scratch, and all the accoutremont come with, napkins, cups, flatware, moist towellettes, salt, pepper, corkscrew and so on. I cannot provide the wine, as liquor laws are very strict here. Also? The crowd most likely to avail themselves of such a service wouldn’t even blink at the price.
But I did some math, and that’s what they’d have to cost to turn a profit. That is unless I can find less expensive ingredients.
Another reason to hate where I live. They have the sadest most depressing farmers markets. Everything is in a jar (chutney, jam, etc) and hand made soaps and shit…I mean, where is the produce dammit!!!??!!!
This is one reason why the mid-west is a pretty good place to live. GREAT farmers markets! Those soaps are pretty nice too. I’m learning how to do my own canning though.
Uh, in my garden…tomatoes, corn, squash, cucumbers, watermelon, cilantro, cayenne peppers, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, okra, lettuce, bush beans, and last but not least….The Larch
I love everything you listed. I am not sure what bush beans are however. I’ve been banned from eating watermelon because I don’t have the strength to make myself stop after a couple of slices.
Bush beans are simply green beans that grow on bushes not vine type plants that you have to string up so they are off the ground. Hence the name “string beans”. I have peach and pear trees, but no avocado. Do have a pecan tree so I can fill up my nut sack. But, I don’t share those too often. Ms Skratdaddy gets mad…But I could make an exception.

Hi FB’ers, sorry to barge in, and more sorry if this is a repeat, but if anyone’s interested we over at ICHC are going to have a moment of silence and a balloon ceremony for Elsa_Mama on Saturday. The announcement by cweenmj is on the current picture (didn’t know the word help) very near the top of the comments. Thanks, and we now return you to your regularly scheduled hilarity.
(most comments that go into moderation never come back out. the moderators are always hungry.)
appropo (how’s that for a good non-lolspeak word? ) of this, i would like to remind all failbloggers who would like to participate that they should make their first post (if they haven’t already) on ICHC well in advance (at least a day), so that the moderators can chew you over and decide whether or not you are spam.
also (i didn’t think to mention this last time when we did the LBT) you need to do your breaking-in posts with the SAME NAME you plan to use at the event. ICHC doesn’t let you do spur-of-the-moment name changes.
finally, as gaynorvador learned, if your name contains anything that could be construed as being the least bit s*xual, you’ll need to find an alternative so that the moderators don’t go into conniptions.
they might not like your name; it might seem too violent or “anti-animal” try substituting a “@” for the “a” thusly: ro@dkill (this is what fixed gaynorvador’s problem). or you might just have to give yourself a special ICHC name if that doesn’t work.
OH! Please excuse my silliness, I hadn’t read about Matt when I posted that above. My condolences go out to Elsa_Mama and all of Matt’s family and close friends.
I had a problem like that last year, Roadkill…. all of a sudden I was unable to post under the signon/email I had been using for months. Ended up trying new email/online name combos until I found another one it liked. Keep trying!
here is the official non-lolspeak announcement, from the cheezfrends facebook group:
“Matt, Elsa_Mama’s 14 year old son, lost his 10 month fight aganst leukaemia. Throughout this time Elsa_Mama, and Matt, showed great strength and dignity, kept strong by their faith.
Elsa_Mama sought light relief in ICHC, and we took her to our hearts and many of us cried with her when we heard of Matt’s passing.
A funeral mass will be held for Matt on Saturday 1st Aug at 9.30am, Chicago time. As so few of us can be there in person, I propose we show our respects at the nearest timed LOL – that will be 2am (ICHC time) /10am(EST)/ 3pm(TTI)/ 4pm(Rest of Europe).
WordPress won’t let you post an empty comment, so we can’t do a 2 minute “Silence” as such, instead please post just the name “Matt”, in a separate comment box, for the first 2 minutes of the LOL. I will post an explanation, similar to this, as the first comment.
Hi lunarmommy.
If one really would like to post an empty “silent” comment, you can simply place a “.” between a “<" and another one of those, going the opposite direction, in the comment box.
.
<3
hmm. i don’t know what you’ve tried or what the timing has been, but what seems to work is to post (and that first post will never ever be seen again) then go back in a day or so and post again and hopefully you’ll show up then.
or if for some reason The System has decided it doesn’t like you, try a variation of your name, like Alice from FB, and follow the procedure above.
I’m not sure who the bigger morons are. The guy who broke the back window, or us who are commenting and watching this … first and last time at this blog.
I mean, he just crashed through a window. I mean, I’m a writer, not a physicist, but doesn’t that tend to result in broken glass?
And broken glass, in my experience, results in multiple lacerations, which results in loss of blood.
Then all you can do can do is hope that it doesn’t have coral snake venom on it (Also, since when do Norwegian shamans carry around coral snakes anyways?)
There’s two references in here. First person to get both wins money dollars.
Is it right to say his car was rear-ended?
lol … I’m not sure there’s anything right about this one
You deserve a break today.

Probably not, if the glass had been actually
tempered, it might not have broken so readily.
Most auto glass these days are tempered, allowing them to shatter into thousands of small pieces instead of a few dagger sized shards. The glass in this fail is no different, notice how it explodes into thousands of pieces even where he doesn’t touch it.
.
It’s part of the reason why people like the putz in this fail keep appearing in fails – they never learn because they never get seriously hurt.
So for the betterment of the homosapiens sapiens species, we should use glass that shatters into deadly razor-sharp shards?
Eeeep!
Where’s that bunker, Brewski?
Dunno ’bout the bunker, but my tempered glass shower stall door shattered right behind me as I was brushing my teeth once. Loudest sound I’ve ever heard, and it kept going as the chunks of glass kept cascading down into the bathtub.
Amazing.
I would have probably been so startled my toothbrush would have ended up jabbed into my throat!
After prying the toothbrush out of the back of my throat, I would have to change my shorts.

WN, it did this all by itself? No one fell through it or anything? That’s flat out freaky …

First to rate methinks
third to rate!
not second! wait… i am second… anyways this scrores about a five on the funny scale.
F***ing 10th, really? Damn you guys are quick!
Try and explain that to your insurance agent.
It probably falls under “idiot brother” damage.
I suppose technically you could say:
“Some ass damaged my car.”
that’s some fancy ass’splainin’ right there
So are you going to ass’ist me in my claim or not?
I should probably butt out actually. You committing insurance fraud is none of my busin’ass.
What fraud? Can’t you see the back window is assploded all over the back seat?
Butt his little asscapade’s gonna make his rates asscalate asstronomically; there’s no asscaping it.
.
(And asscargo’s, his is prolly now like a snail.)
Can you assure me of this?
I hate assuming that people are always correct without assking for an assplanation.
…which isn’t covered.
Hopefully the insurance company won’t see the video.
I don’t think he’s included in the rider clause.
He could be, in the hold harmless clause.
Ì hope insurance pays for that
The insurance report on that must have been amusing. I hope it was his car and not a complete stranger’s!
I believe it was a Hurtz rental car.
I guess he’ll have to try harder next time.
…and rent from Avis instead.
That car was not a Benz. It was a Breaks.
It’s all Bent(ley) outta shape now.
It definitely wasn’t Smart.

Seriously, who didn’t see this coming within about five seconds of the video starting?
I honestly thought his arms would buckle under his massive weight and fall to the ground face first.
The look on his face as he sits there in the window is HYSTERICAL! It’s that “wait- what just happened?” expression.
I don’t think he had a clue what had happened.
Imbecille!!!
As soon as I saw his first attempt I said, “he’s gonna try it again, and he’s going through that back window when he does.” Why a handstand on the trunk lid of a car anyways?
I was actually thinking he was going to face-plant into the trunk. I think, Jimbo, you had a hint of what was to come, this being FailBlog and such…
Because it’s there.
*snork*
I thought Jimbo’s
was rhetorical.
I did have a good strong hint, being on failblog. If I could ask him why he thought this was cool, I would, in a snide and sarcastic manner.
Might have been, but then it was sort of a rhetorical answer as well.
I’ve asked guys the “WHY??” question before. The answer is pretty much always the same.
“…Because it’s COOL!!!”
(I do not think this word means what they think it means.)
Inconceivable!
Hey, Ms B! Sorry to hear about your strip, er, strep infection. How’s your porcelain turned lobster bisque skin?

(I think that was the name of the credit card Ford Prefect stole in HGttG)
I didn’t know that american rear glass was so easy to break !
Generally, laminated glass is only used for the windshield. This is the case in most countries.
All auto glass is tempered and difficult to break.
Auto glass is very difficult to break, under some circumstances. I’ve seen a guy take a full swing with a fire ax and watched it bounce off. Then again, I’ve seen a fireman break a car window with his key chain. That guy is probably 200 pounds, that should be plenty on top of a back window.
It’s funny, I once cracked my windshield by tossing my keys on the dashboard (an unlucky hit). I was angry before I did it and seeing the crack didn’t help my attitude much.
Was the temp outside wildly different from the temp inside? In any case, I didn’t know zombies drove cars….
They have to drive cars. Public transportation may deny them access… and walking would be a drag with body parts falling off at random intervals.
Speaking of the temperature difference, my own FML story happened a couple months ago on one of the first sunny, hot (but not as hot as it gets down here in July/August!) days of the year. I finally decided to wash all the pollen off my car. Proud of myself, I turned the hose on to rinse the car first. I hear a THUNK. Huge freaking crack down the front of the windshield. Because I washed my car.
That’ll teach ya! It’s nature’s way of telling you to relax on a lawn chair with a cold drink, instead of slaving over a hot car.
*bearlysqueeze*
Nope, virtually the same temp Jimbo. It was an unlucky hit, I had a metal Alpine key tag attached and it wedged itself with it’s bottom edge on the end of the dashboard padding and the top corner on the windshield. I was amazed it cracked, it was a one in a million toss of the keys onto the dash.
That said, thanks Bearly for scaring me out of washing my truck anytime soon.
Hey ZA, you should come join us on the new fail. It’s thatta way —–>
Yes, but there is a difference between tempered glass and laminated glass. Have you seen that video of guy trying to headbutt his way through the windshield, and it won’t break? That’s what laminated glass does. Tempered glass will still shatter when hit hard enough.
You actually have to cut laminated glass to remove it. In fire school they taught us how to remove a windshield with an axe. You cut all along the edge until you can fold it up onto the roof of the car.
You went to school to learn to start fires??? I had to teach myself.
*flicks bic*
*flicks bic*
*gazes longingly at flame*
Nope, I went to school to learn WHO started fires, and to learn how to control bleeding when some idiot goes through his back window….
Bic, what a great company. They make the pens that keep you in school and the lighters that take you out.

Well, the window’s broken, so I might as well relax here for a bit…
He was laying back thinking “Damn I did a great job”
He is resting on his laurels.
Glass laurels?
He could hardy believe it.
If you wanna be a femme fatale, you can’t rest on your L’Oréals.
Why here Cloral? are you saying you had something to do with it ?
Yeah, that was my car.
Well you have a nice pieces of ride.
Thanks to the invention of You Tube, the world has really gotten to see the extent of idiocracy in the world. Hospitals and other businesses thank you.
I think you mean “idiocy” (as in “extremely foolish behavior”), as opposed to “idiocracy” (as in “ruled by idiots”). Just because internet video has served to spotlight the idiots of the world, it doesn’t mean that the idiots are ruling the world (at least, not just yet, lol)–it only means that there are a lot of them.
Actually, on reflection, probably both are true. The world IS ruled by idiots.
Did he die?
…I thought that would be more fun. :/
Thank you Mr. of my existence.
I was looking forward to some confetti throwing and some champagne. FB ruined it by using someone I don’t know in the Powered By.
Anyone know Cyn?
nope *throws confetti anyway* I can’t see the fail of the powered by because of my work filter, can you please help me out?
*or, not of
Ummm…. really?
what?
Never mind, I was looking at the wrong “of”! Apparently I need more caffeine as well!
lol *hands Avis nice steaming espresso* *squeeze*
*puts farting powder in Avis’s espresso* hehehe *puts on gas mask* *hides behind crates*
It’s a good thing I don’t drink coffee.
*lights and throws stink bomb behind the snickering crates*
*saunters away, whistling*
eww.. hope none of it splashed on me…
*throws single flake of confetti*
*attempts to uncork champagne but is already fizzled*
*looks at fizzled champagne*
*thinks it could be guzzled*
*makes sure the Admiral is nuzzled*
*fits together like jigsaw puzzle*
*helps to keep away the confuzzles*
*pours two glasses of good champagne, clinks and guzzles*
*and there was much rejoicing*
*Can’t help but think of the Holy hand Grenade*
HI EVERYONE!!!! i thing i’m building a super-human tollerance to caffiene. I just drank a 24 oz coffee and a 12 oz red bull and i’m still falling asleep at my desk… does anyone know anything that works better and won’t make me too jittery?
Like that Futurama episode?
The one where Fry drinks 100 cups of coffee?
I think the only thing stronger is meth and I think it fails your jittery rule.
I find a hot shower and a spot of exercise works wonders in the morning. And no jitters at all!
A good night’s sleep before you get to work, Abstract!
Um, seriously, the things I can think of are mostly illegal, but perhaps that 5-hour energy boost thing that the football players advertise? Has anyone tried it?
ha, sleep, who needs that. idk, i do sleep about 7 hours a nightidk, i’ll try the energy shots and see. thanks
Yes, I’ve tried the 5 hour energy shot. It has the caffeine of a cup of coffee, plus a ton of vitamin B12 and B6. No sugar. I’ve had good results, but only use it when caffeine isn’t working for me, and I absolutely NEED to be awake. The lemon lime flavor is disgusting, the others taste like Smarties.
You could try cocaine, but the I think that also fails your not jittery condition. Of course I don’t think you were interested in heart failure either, so maybe you should just get more coffee.
You might try dousing your feet with cold water. No kidding.
A good night’s sleep?
abstract!!
abstract!!
Yeah. Over here dear. Listen to me. Put the caffeine down. Step awaaaaaaaaay from it slowly and don’t look at it again for the rest of the day.
Go home and sleep for as long as you can. Turn off your cell phone, TV, home phone and just rest.
yeah. maybe i’m still worn out from all the running this weekend. i have off tomorrow to try to get things done around the house from when it exploded on our way out of town……. maybe i’ll just sleep late and take it easy in the morning
Sleep is my friend!
Someone needs to stock up on Five Hour Energy.
*Holds up tiny bottle, label facing abstract*
*Gives cheesy thumbs up*
love it! we have this game at my friends house called “you’re in the movies” and it uses a camera that puts your image on the TV. we usualy play during parties, and the guys love to pretend they’re in beer commercials. We always yell at our one firend, “label out, label out”
Sleepy? Having trouble making it to work without drifting head-on into a milk-truck and exploding in a gigantic milky fireball? Well, we have your solution! The self-flagellator! Simply thrash the spiked tails against your back, arms, and legs, and you’ll be wide awake and screaming in pain in no time!
Act now, and you’ll get a FREE electro-shock therapy kit! Great for use at either home or office! How much would you pay for both these fantastic items? Well, don’t answer, because it’s only $10.99!! That’s right! Order now!
I tried self-flagellation. It didn’t work very well for me. It got all red and raw. I had to put lotion on it for a week before it felt better.
Doh..
*scurries to get lotion for nuts*
Ahhh…that is better!
Thanks Jimbo spoken like someon with lots of experience???
*pulls out rifle and shoots “e” to above post*
*hides bag from DW’s behind back*
Psstt. Hey Jimbo, you have anything with a bushy tail in that bag??
*takes a break from the kitchen*
So, how is everyone?
I am awesome!!
Um…what are you making?
Let me guess, something with pesto?
Among other things!
I am making a salad of roasted corn, grape tomatoes and chives. Another salad of roasted fingerling potatoes, green beans, tropeo onion, cucumber and red bell pepper. I’ll make pesto as well, in a little while.
There’s another free concert at Millennium Park this evening and I’m planning a picnic!
…Wow…You should start a home cooking show or something.
I’m working on figuring out a picnic business. Something with maybe 4 fixed menus, that you could order for 2 or for 4, and that you could pick up at the pavilion.
And no, I won’t be adding any other “supplies” to the items provided.
Though that would be funny!
I understand that the “supplies” come with a great profit margin, you might want to increase the bottom line.
Avis, that is a brilliant idea! Let us know how that turns out for you.
I may only work out the logistics by the end of this summer, but next spring signs go up, and business starts!
Let’s see.
Picnic basket for 4 $55.00
Picnic basket for 4 with “special” brownies $150.00
Get em while they are hot!
More like picnic bag (the nice kind with handles) for 4 $80.
Everything is from scratch, and all the accoutremont come with, napkins, cups, flatware, moist towellettes, salt, pepper, corkscrew and so on. I cannot provide the wine, as liquor laws are very strict here. Also? The crowd most likely to avail themselves of such a service wouldn’t even blink at the price.
But I did some math, and that’s what they’d have to cost to turn a profit. That is unless I can find less expensive ingredients.
*salivating*
I want some!!!!!!!! The fingerling potatoes are sooooo good when roasted. Crunchy on the outside and buttery on the inside.
*thanks her lucky stars for farmers markets*
Another reason to hate where I live. They have the sadest most depressing farmers markets. Everything is in a jar (chutney, jam, etc) and hand made soaps and shit…I mean, where is the produce dammit!!!??!!!
*takes a deep breath*
Ooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!
This is one reason why the mid-west is a pretty good place to live. GREAT farmers markets! Those soaps are pretty nice too. I’m learning how to do my own canning though.
You can can?
*dances*
*opens a can of legumes*
Soon!
*hands Leila a fresh bunch of beets from the garden* these are so good!! You should see the crop we’ve turned out this year
I ♥ beets!! Especially cuz it makes pretty colors when you … never mind!
Thank you abstract!!!!
Ooooh….PICKLE those suckers!!!
Yes, then you can make PICKLE SURPRISE!!
With pickled beets? That’s gonna leave a mark.
That’s beta than being vulgaris.
*SNORK!!*
The vicar calls it the root of all evil.
Yeah, but you know he’d tap that root.
When he was younger he could keep a beet for a long time; now that he’s older he gets borscht.
“When he was younger he could keep a beet for a long time; now that he’s older he gets borscht.”
Congratulations on that comment, Admiral. That’s really given me the giggles.
Uh, in my garden…tomatoes, corn, squash, cucumbers, watermelon, cilantro, cayenne peppers, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, okra, lettuce, bush beans, and last but not least….The Larch
ONE thing is missing……no avocado tree?
I love everything you listed. I am not sure what bush beans are however. I’ve been banned from eating watermelon because I don’t have the strength to make myself stop after a couple of slices.
Bush beans are simply green beans that grow on bushes not vine type plants that you have to string up so they are off the ground. Hence the name “string beans”. I have peach and pear trees, but no avocado. Do have a pecan tree so I can fill up my nut sack. But, I don’t share those too often. Ms Skratdaddy gets mad…But I could make an exception.
*big squeezies*
I didn’t see basil on that list! I don’t think I or my step-father could survive without basil! Of course, we can’t have a garden, so we make do.
We had problems with the herbs this year…DEA raid
I mean deer raid.
Uh-huh. Yeah. Ok.
garden… *sings softly* Id like to be under the sea, in an octopuses garden, in the shade.la la la la la la la la la la , hm hmm hm hm hmmm hm hm hm hm…
*gives Leila’s Clone a sham-wow*
*sneaks some farting powder into salad* hahaha… *sneaks off into distance*
*follows into the distance and TWACKS Tofu with a shellacked mackerel*
*tosses an “H“into above comment*
Grrrrrrrr!
ow! hey, get out of here! this is my distance!!! >:(
Then stop tampering with the foodstuffs!
ill tamper any foodstuffs i want! … wanna cookie???
*THWACK*
*rubs head* :\
I can’t speak for everyone but I’m doing great. And you Avis? And what are you doing in the kitchen?
*Crosses fingers and hopes Avis is cooking*
Decent, haven’t had the time to surf Failblog recently.
Why not?
Work, family problems, etc.
*squeeze*
Good to see you anyway and sorry about the problems Bobby.
Yeah, what she said!
*points to Leila’s Clone*
*squeezes back with superman like strength*
Meh, it’s nothing serious. Just time consuming.
*bear hugs Bobby with super human strength*
Save the super human squeezes for the super humans. We don’t want to have to clone Leila again. You’ve seen what that does to BFF.
Wait. What?
What did I miss?
You were almost super human hugged to death.
mmmm hmmmm.
What’s going on here?
*bear hugs Jenny*
Young lady, where have you been all morning!?
Probably fighting a hangover. What was that about drunk dialing?
*squeezes to everybody I haven’t squeezed today*
Hi bobby, long time!
I am splendid, but hungry….
*looks at Avis with puppy dog eyes*
*whimpers a little*
Well jeez! Help yourself! The beauty of virtual food is you never run out!
*
*was tempted to make you beg
Oooooh, awesome.
*goes silent, because his Mom taught him not to talk with his mouth full*
He couldn’t find anything else to do a handstand on? What a moron
Hi FB’ers, sorry to barge in, and more sorry if this is a repeat, but if anyone’s interested we over at ICHC are going to have a moment of silence and a balloon ceremony for Elsa_Mama on Saturday. The announcement by cweenmj is on the current picture (didn’t know the word help) very near the top of the comments. Thanks, and we now return you to your regularly scheduled hilarity.
Oh, and *squeeze.*
parrothead, what a nice thing to do for Elsa_Mama. I will go check out the announcement.
I am still miffed that my comments to Elsa_Mama never posted.
(most comments that go into moderation never come back out. the moderators are always hungry.)
appropo (how’s that for a good non-lolspeak word?
) of this, i would like to remind all failbloggers who would like to participate that they should make their first post (if they haven’t already) on ICHC well in advance (at least a day), so that the moderators can chew you over and decide whether or not you are spam.
also (i didn’t think to mention this last time when we did the LBT) you need to do your breaking-in posts with the SAME NAME you plan to use at the event. ICHC doesn’t let you do spur-of-the-moment name changes.
finally, as gaynorvador learned, if your name contains anything that could be construed as being the least bit s*xual, you’ll need to find an alternative so that the moderators don’t go into conniptions.
Thanks. So now, can you translate the announcement cweenmj posted in plain ‘ol English for those of us who don’t do lolspeak? *squeeze*
IDK!
For some reason no matter how many times and how nicely wrtten my posts are, They NEVER seem to show up on ICHC! :tears:
they might not like your name; it might seem too violent or “anti-animal”
try substituting a “@” for the “a” thusly: ro@dkill (this is what fixed gaynorvador’s problem). or you might just have to give yourself a special ICHC name if that doesn’t work.
OH! Please excuse my silliness, I hadn’t read about Matt when I posted that above. My condolences go out to Elsa_Mama and all of Matt’s family and close friends.
I had a problem like that last year, Roadkill…. all of a sudden I was unable to post under the signon/email I had been using for months. Ended up trying new email/online name combos until I found another one it liked. Keep trying!
here is the official non-lolspeak announcement, from the cheezfrends facebook group:
“Matt, Elsa_Mama’s 14 year old son, lost his 10 month fight aganst leukaemia. Throughout this time Elsa_Mama, and Matt, showed great strength and dignity, kept strong by their faith.
Elsa_Mama sought light relief in ICHC, and we took her to our hearts and many of us cried with her when we heard of Matt’s passing.
A funeral mass will be held for Matt on Saturday 1st Aug at 9.30am, Chicago time. As so few of us can be there in person, I propose we show our respects at the nearest timed LOL – that will be 2am (ICHC time) /10am(EST)/ 3pm(TTI)/ 4pm(Rest of Europe).
WordPress won’t let you post an empty comment, so we can’t do a 2 minute “Silence” as such, instead please post just the name “Matt”, in a separate comment box, for the first 2 minutes of the LOL. I will post an explanation, similar to this, as the first comment.
Ruth/Ambercat”
(note: “TTI” is Teeny Tiny Ingerland, aka England (also the rest of Great Britain) )
oops, i found a correction that needs to be made on the times:
10am Eastern, 7am Pacific, *4am* ICHC time (the same as Hawaii time; this is the time that will show on the time stamps on the comments)
Thank you for the info and the translation. I hope I can post.
Hi lunarmommy.
If one really would like to post an empty “silent” comment, you can simply place a “.” between a “<" and another one of those, going the opposite direction, in the comment box.
.
<3
*silence*
*loud-type silence*
Thanks for the announcement, cheezpeeps…I’ll be sure to stop by.
*squeezies*
I’ll certainly do my best, too.
I can’t. I tried posting, but my comments kept getting chomped.
hmm. i don’t know what you’ve tried or what the timing has been, but what seems to work is to post (and that first post will never ever be seen again) then go back in a day or so and post again and hopefully you’ll show up then.
or if for some reason The System has decided it doesn’t like you, try a variation of your name, like Alice from FB, and follow the procedure above.
See, this is exactly why chasing parked cars is dangerous and should be banned!
The car was still and the pavement was moving!Mrs Zorro.
ouch… that must hurt… I wonder if he’s stuckk…. XDDDDD
Can u make a iphone app of ur website?please
iFail?
Please NO.
I hope for his sake that’s not his car…
I hope for his sake that it is his car.
I think our pile driving wrestler had too much sake.
idiot
We prefer Logically challenged
I love it, he is like, “hmm, this is kinda comfortable”
OMG what a moron
Did he die?
yes
11 times.. ON FIRE
and being stabbed with dry ice!!!!
*likes the growing violence*
he died caused of starvation. he never came out
oh, poor man D:
Bye y’all…Time to run.
*squeezes all around*
bye!
I wonder whether it was his own car, and if so, whether that makes it more or less of a FAIL.
AHEM!!
Everyone go to the new FB post.
GO!
GO!
Frailblog!
N the car doesn’t have an alarm…
That’s breaking into a car… in style.
E-C-F^**ING W!
hahaha his dull and emotionless expression!
HAHAHA
Way to go- fat ass!!!
glass always shatters in contact w/ an ass xD
I’m not sure who the bigger morons are. The guy who broke the back window, or us who are commenting and watching this … first and last time at this blog.
the look on his face was priceless…
poor chamade….
Shouldn’t… Shouln’t there be blood?
I mean, he just crashed through a window. I mean, I’m a writer, not a physicist, but doesn’t that tend to result in broken glass?
And broken glass, in my experience, results in multiple lacerations, which results in loss of blood.
Then all you can do can do is hope that it doesn’t have coral snake venom on it (Also, since when do Norwegian shamans carry around coral snakes anyways?)
There’s two references in here. First person to get both wins money dollars.
Damn, that’s three.
cars have some kind of security glass, such kind of accident does not have to lead to bleeding injuries.
THIS IS GOOD
there is only one thing to say…. L!O!L!
lol
clown ^^
Hes like “W0t”
is it me or did he look comfy?
