Fuzzy is kind of fuzzy sometimes Elsa_Mama. He’s talking about Fluffy putting the screws to the t_r_o_l_l_s.
(I like that Suzie halibutt’d in, too — as “fish” can be plural, those scales of justice can be added to the collective invective)
Inexorably fishy.
♪ By the light of the silvery moon
I want to spoon ♪
“And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon.”
‘Spatial depths of being survive
The birth to death recurrences
Of feet dancing on earth of sand;
Vibrations of the dance survive
The sand; the sand, elect, survives
The dancer. He can find no source
Of magic adequate to bind
The sand upon his feet, his feet
Upon his dance, his dance upon
The diamond body of his being. ‘
It doesn’t really rhyme, but it’s a beautiful poem nonetheless.

Whew! Thanks Fluffy! That was a long one!
*squashed by the Admiral*
Btw, if you are going to call out a fail…make sure you blame the correct person! It’s a Director Fail…camera man had nothing to do with it! Fail to the Fail!
Actually it is the Technical Director who controls what shots show up in the program. Different person from the director completely. So fail to the fail’s fail?
The director tells the technical director what and when to take it and the tech director just pushes the button.
Fail on Calling a Fail on a Fail.
I was gonna say that…Cameraman doesn’t have any say on when his camera takes.
Yes, but from a former TD, if you aren’t paying attention, it’s really easy to screw that up. If you change your source on the M/E live, you get the result that you saw here. Probably a new TD or one who doesn’t care anymore… like Most of the people at WCNC in Charlotte. http://www.wcnc.com
Trust me, A director would not call for for that to happen. Unless he’s as incompotent as some of the ones I work with.
co-anchor win!
Actually, that would be a “Director Fail”.
you make a good point …
as in ” => => => “
*raises eyebrows at fuzz*
Careful. The girls will be all over you before you know it.
*tackle squeeze smooch*
Do it again!
Or a control room fail! Plus, the mislabeling of this fail makes it a FAIL Blog Fail.
Or a FAIL Blog submission fail, since the submitter names the fail.
Actually it would be a technical Director Fail… the one switching the cameras
At a station that size the Director and technical director are usually one in the same.
Or more like ‘Technical Director Fail’
or Submission fail, the recording of the TV sucks. Use a tripod.
Or a VCR.
Exactly right Ian. That’s a “Director FAIL”. Don’t blame the cameraman for the director’s screwup.
I wouldn’t even call it a director fail. More likely a switcher fail.
In studio news production, there are generally three cameras: one pointing at each anchor, and one wide shot showing both of them. (You saw the wide one a split second before the end of the video.)
Generally the director is supposed to say “Ready two…take two” to advise the cameraman he should be paying attention and getting a shot ready, then to tell the person sitting at the switcher console to switch it.
Looks like the person at the console hit the wrong button.
as was previously pointed out, at a small station like that, the director and switcher are often the same person.

Uh, Aja — your eyebrows, please just waggle the eyebrows!!! *hidez eyes, but peeks just a little*
Never knew I had two eyebrows.
Well, there is two of something wagglin there!!
Oops, guess I should stop now.
yep – you wouldn’t want to pull a muscle …
He has a prosthetic forehead on his real head.
A fauxhead?
Does he have a rock to wind his piece of string around? Because everybody wants a rock to wind a piece of string around!
Isn’t that what Brewski was doing yesterday after he unraveled his sweater?? (and was Nekkid yet again — LOL)
♫Everybody want prosthetic foreheads on their real heads.♪
Aww, I missed the point that you were making, I’m uber-late tonight.
Be careful, Dilly. Someone in this town is trying to burn the playhouse down.
I will be very careful not to throw the crib door wide, then.

*crosses fingers*
Thanks for reminding me, Judy!
Happy Hump Day!!!
*throws confetti*
*humps the wumpa*
*doesn’t wanna know*
*…okay, sorta does*
Yes, yes. Please share.
I’m thinking about it, trying as hard as I can to seriously consider the question without acting perverted… and yet, all I can think of is the similarity of the word wumpa to a Wompa from Star Wars or a Womp from Super Mario 64.
So you got your choice between humping a walking piece of stone, or bestiality with a yeti. I’m sorry.
Uh-uh – ain’t sharing – no how, no way! This ‘un is all mine!
You know, most of the time I can read around here without making the slightest noise not because I don’t find everything funny but because I kinda saw it coming. But then someone throws something like “bestiality with a yeti” at me and I lose all control.
This usually scares me because my boss’s desk is roughly 10 feet from mine, but today is his day off so it’s all good.
In the Crash Bandicoot games there are wumpa fruit that you collect for extra life. Kinda sticky to hump them, though.

Is there a medic in the house? Czuhc!
That’s our Brewski, going where others fear to tread.
He’s got sole…that’s for sure.

WHA?! How did I get volunteered for this?
I’m quite happily clothed today, thank you!
Besides, that A/C is a little nippy.
Happily clothed, eh? That could be changed, y’know.
Given enough beer, yes! But I haven’t had anything to drink today.
So, you were just handing out large alcoholic drinks down thread???? Hmmmm….
Oh, erm, THAT drink! *hic*
Well, uh… that wasn’t beer! *sways*
Woah… delayed rayackshun. Woooh.
Uh-oh. Brewski’s been at the dragon grog again. We really need a lock for that cabinet!
Now’s our chance! Lurk, you grab one leg and I’ll grab the other…

There, did that help?
Your squeezes always help, Admiral! Even when I don’t see them for a few hours!
*squeezes back*
Aw, I just got back to the blog myself, Judy, so your reply was right on time.
*squeeze*
You’ve been squeezing her for a few hours?? Dayum, sweets, your arms must be tired!
I needed a lot of cheery juice, and nobody is juicier than Judylicious.

We need Velvet to get this Disco party going!
*salsas*
You called?
.
I have a coworker that keeps trying to print 50GB (yes, that’s 50GB) photos, which keeps crashing the printer. You’d think she’d listen after trying 12 times.
50gb? EACH?!
Exactly what kind of resolution would you need to have a 50 GB photo?
Over 9000?
*winces*
Okay, even I’m embarrased by that one. Bukkit, please.
Yeah, I wasn’t quite sure how to respond to that one.
*hands Shadow the bukkit*
*Ker-SPLORCH*
A heck of a lot more resolution than our HP laserjet has to offer.
.
The last time she tried, there was a group of people standing around at the printer when she crashed it. They all gave her dirty looks. Then she came to me and asked me to show her how to downsize the photos. I’ve offered to show her how to downsize them many times before, but she always turned me down.
Were they really 50GB? I’ve never heard of a 1GB photo, let alone 50.
According to the printer task manager they were 50GB. They’re also photos coming from our China rep, and I know they have high-end technology that greatly exceeds our company.
.
Then again, we use dot matrix printers for some AS400 reports.
I got a little surprise for you Velvet.
*drags the printer out into a field*
*hands Velvet a baseball bat*
*put on “Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangster”*
oooOOOOoooo. Thanks, jimbo!
.
It reminds me of a coffee cup I want. It has Dogbert walking away from a bashed-up computer and it says “The network is down but I’m feeling better.”
I need that one too, Velvet! Actually, I need two, one for me and one for Ron.
I hope those photo prints included the new cover sheet. Did they get that memo?
A computer once beat me at chess,
but it was no match for me at kickboxing!
Velvet, just so you don’t feel so alone, the company I work for has those blasted dot-matrix abominations at every location. At least two, though my location has dozens.
Guess who gets bothered when they start screwing up.
We have dot-matrix printers for our delivery tickets.
*peeks in bukket* Hey – whats in here??? I can’t tell, its not very clear?
9000
The bukkit’s a bit like room 101 – it contains everyone’s own worst nightmare.
Aja’s right. For me… it’s boiled green beans and broccoli, the way they made them in elementary school. All limp, and rubbery, and disgusting. Ugh…
Those peas that would disintegrate and collapse when you touched them…
Olives and brussels sprouts.

Rice and cheese casserole.

*furrows brow*
*fails to understand himself*
*shakes head sadly*
Nope, they never learn. I have a number of engineers who act the same. It was pure chaos for them when we got a new printer!
Damned engineers!!! They are just impossible.
Engineers aren’t good with people!! I have people skills!!!!
There’s a few exceptions that prove the rule.
*sends love to Brewski, Jules, Moomin and any other engineer FBer*
*burns the building down*
Holy crap, da roof, da roof, da roof is on fire!

Oh frell, I thought that sounded like something Stephen Lynch would do.
*squeeze*
I can see the printer from my office, and there’s one guy in particular who walks up to the printer and just stares at it. Like he’s trying to do his copies through telekinesis. I just sit at my desk and laugh.
I just hope he doesn’t put his head thru it like that guy with the automatic doors.
Not my brand new printer?!?!?!?! It’s too pretty! He would die!

The YouTube vid? My stepfather’s computer is not being co-operative. I can’t watch any vids right now.
No, Brewski is putting on his own show … a nekkid Brewski pose down!!
Our printer/copier/fax machine hates one of our salesmen. He can never get it to work, and stares at it like that’s going to help. Then he goes back to his office and hits “print” 10 more times like that’s going to help. He’s the only one it won’t work for. It’s really funny!

CLAPITY CLAP!! did it work really? is it really gone? I have to see this, BRB….
Its not gone — but hardly anyone posted to it …
What on earth did I miss?
Oh, and *squeeze*
Just a refusal to participate on the last fail.
*squeeze*
I took a peek back there. I am now happy I was unable to get online ’till now.
*squeeze*
I even *gasp* worked! Just logged off the internet, and…worked! Can you believe they caused me to stoop to that level?!
The nerve of them!
That’s just not right.
*Shakes fist at failblog*
Yeah this would definitely be a technical director fail… poor camera guy taking the blame. Though it is quite funny how the anchor is like “Not on me, you stupid idiot moron.”
Nice and technical fail.
*puts a check mark next to today’s date*
Couldn’t wait, Brewski, I didn’t want it to get away.
buba® never lie.
But how do we know you’re not lying right now?
Everything I say is always a lie.
This post is a lie.
*is awed by the logic required to understand this*
buba® takes a stand
the cake is a lie!!
This lie is a lie
This is confusing, I need to lie down.
Does that make it a Truth? *gets headache*
Who has the Head On?
The Cretans are always liars.
Hmmm, let me sleep on that.

Thank you! I was hoping someone knew what I was referring to. *squeeze*
*hates that commercial with the passion of a thousand burning suns*
They came out with a few more products too.
Oh dear… Now that we know, we have to bring it up over and over. Just like Arthur and BMW WIN.
I kinda have a cure for commercials, it’s called Tivo. I hardly watch anything live anymore, except some sporting events (NFL, NASCAR, NHRA), which of course are … mostly …
BTW, ZA, didja watch the Bristol races? Gotta tell ya, when KB hit the wall Friday nite, the crowd went wild! It was awesome!
I can take it. I can also inflict insidious earworms with glee!
Trust me, people, she speaks the truth!
This Bud Light is A lie! It Don’t Turn Dark Blue When Its Cold!
We give no credit to a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
~Cicero
Believe me I lie all the time.
Methinks this is more of a control room failure.
Methinks you’re right.
Unfortunately, that is NOT a cameraman fail. It could be a Switcher fail, Director fail or Producer fail. It still made everybody look bad nonetheless.
lol that guy isnt very subtile
Or subtle.
No, he lives under the floor — he is actually very subtile…
*gigglesnork*
*pops his head through the tile floor*
You called?
Hay – you don’t live there anymore.
Go eat a brain!
He doesn’t live anywhere! Anymore.
Forevermore
Nevermore?

*resists urge*
No need to put subtitles on there.
But I couldn’t hear what he was saying. It must have been important if they had the camera on him!
Whatever he said didn’t subtract from the story.
Still, it had very little substance.
Subconsciously, I think he was enjoying it.
He was, as the female anchor was beating him into submission.
We’ll need to find a substitute to anchor tomorrow.
He was a bit subdued after that.
Too bad no one got his subliminal messages.
He is part of a misunderstood subculture.
A suburban legend in his own time.
“yes, yes, but you’re so much prettier.”
Good job Abstract.
Never lose your focus when stalking anchormen.
mmmm, anchormen… *drool*
Meh. You’re lucky. You get to drool at both of them. Double the fun.
*Gives Abstract a Shamwow*
Anchors aweigh my friend!
Uh oh. Your syrum was supposed to cure you of that hunger for the living.
She’s referring to a different type of hunger, ZA. Actually, more of a yearning than a hunger. Almost to the point of obsession.
Obsession? Ever see a zombie on a quest for braaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnss?
Ummmm….no. Care to demonstrate? I’m safe – I leave mine at work at 5:00 everyday.
Hey, I live in this area…..totally saw this on the news.
You totally saw it? As opposed to only partially seeing it?
yea like — she like saw it all, totally, fer sure dood!!
Like, she saw the fail…and stuff…
An the she got pitted… just like so pitted..
Suzie, you should rotate this clickie in every once in a while.
Sorry…
Is this better??
I meant the one I had.
I used to love those things…they taste different now that I’m older…
Would you two move away from the front of the TV? I can’t totally see the picture.
PS: no mockery intended towards Christine. We’re just joking around, okay?
Of course not. I’d do it to any of you.
Yep – no one is exempt from the smartassikal comments on FB
That’s why I love you guys…and gals…and just about everything and everyone else on here!
*squeezes to all*
Just about? Not completely?

Well, you know, like, l HAD to put that in there cause, like, you know, trolls might think I, like, LIKE them…
Qualifiers are very important around here!
What should I do?
Nothing you’re not qualified.
Yea — awl in fun!!
Brewski – -you like so totally PC and stuff!! That why we like so totally love you — and stuff (its the stuff that like the totally funnest)
She’s probably a post-and-run type, but just in case I don’t want her to think we’re slamming on her. I don’t think of myself as, like, PC, ya know? Totally.
*squeeze*
yea – but you are always lookin out for the other guy — unless they like piss you off an stuff … then, well …
*squeeze*
Awww – you’re such a sweetie, Brewski.
*squeeze*
that wasnt a cameraman fail, it was a technical director fail.
whoever titled this should get a fail!
pretty good fail.

*harrumph*
That happens to me sometimes. And sometimes the computer lags so much that when I’m typing I’m three or four words ahead of what is showing up on the screen. It’s a wee bit frustrating.
Or nightshayde you are eating nightshade?
hope you’re not flabbergastedupsetimated
Yeah, just so you guys know that has nothing to do with the camera man. THey just follow their scripts. Its the technical directors job to switch between which camera is up.
Gee, thanks. No one told us that yet.
Darn! Now that I know that it’s just not funny any more! Cameraman fail? Hilarious! Technical direction fail? Nope.
Now I’m confuzzeled. Where’s the fail and who did it?
The fail is at the top of the page. The guilty party did it.
*hopes that helped*
It was the Butler!
*looks hopefully around for Gerard*
He’s busy working on a project titled “Teacher Man”.
I think the detective did it.
That is a unexpected ending!
grrr.

Why do I keep doing that!?
If he shows up, I’m stealing him…

If you know anything about TV that fail has nothing to do with the cameraman. That is a producer fail.
*headdesk*
*footbutt*
Ahem!?
Who is that directed to?
Why, a certain chris thomas of course!!
*shakes head*
Well, it’s not so easy to tell with the nested comments! But by all means, don’t stop on my account!
Heavens no.
I didn’t even slow down
Takes the “h” out of whoaNellie name until I get my two eagles back.
Wrong, it’s a DIRECTOR fail.
More like a TD fail.
And the guy shooting the TV with his camera failed, too.
Yeah, should have used a .44 magnum.
this would be a master control fail. not camera man
So witty and original.
*hands bukkit to nabby*
*laughs as he/she looks at it, wondering what it’s for*
Master Control Program does not fail.
Cameraman’s fault? I’d blame on the director (or something like it) who’s in charge of the broadcasting angles…
As no one has pointed out yet that this isn’t a cameraman fail, but a producer/director/master control fail, I’ll do it:
This isn’t a cameraman fail, but a producer/director/master control fail.
Ummmm…
*points up to various previous comments*
*headdesk*
I believe I’ve gotten my daily allowance of irony of of this one.
He’s winding you up.
*hands free coupons for irony recognition lessons to Ms B*
Really? I heard it was a producer/director/master control fail and not a cameraman fail. But what do I know, I’m brain dead.
Off Topic Alert.
Does anyone have a favo(u)rite cookbook? What is it? I need some fresh ideas.
The Cook’s Illustrated cookbook is AWESOME. Lots of amazing recipes in there.
I’m compiling a list of all the cookbooks I “should” have. I have a goal to attain.
10,000 hours of cooking. And that many internets to whoever gets that reference.
Your Brain on Music
This is the one that said you need that many hours to be a master. At anything?
I think so, Dr. Daniel Levitin? Didn’t you reference this a long time ago?
It’s likely I did. But I don’t remember who the person who originally said it is/was. I heard about the idea over a family dinner. I love the idea. But in order for me to attain that many hours in less than a decade, I need to cook 4 hours a day (average). That will get me 10,000 in 6.89 years. This does not count the hours already spent cooking.
So did I get your reference or not? I’m confused.
Tee hee…! Avis didn’t know her own reference!
*takes 10,000 internet points from Avis*
I’m sure I deserved that.
*sigh*
Don’t worry, sweetie, it happens to all of us.
I’d recommend my favorite cookbook to you, but it’s probably not findable. We got it back in, 74 maybe, as a bonus when we were suckered into buying a set of encyclopedias. Us, married just a few months, buying this stuff? We were young, and easily suckered. Anyway, it was the first and most favorite cookbook I ever had (and still have). “The Family Home Cookbook”, 1973, by Lexicon Publications, Inc.
I can probably find it. I don’t know where, but I’ll try.
Last year for my birthday one of my aunts gave me the Betty Crocker cookbook (I asked for it). Having perused it I have found that it is somewhat lacking. I was surprised to discover this. I remember when my mother had a copy of it (I don’t know what happened to it) and loved when she made things out of it.
Now. My oldest cookbook has a copy-write date of 1963. “Better Homes and Gardens BEST BUFFETS”. I have never made a single thing from it, but appreciate it for it’s antiquity.
Well, if this helps, it’s Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 73-4708. I heartily recommend it. And, like you, love to peruse old cookbooks. And I mean old. It’s kinda cool to see what our grandparents and great-grandparents had to deal with to prepare a meal. My youngest daughter would starve – no microwave?!?!?!?
Let me give you the ingredient list for “Arctic Salad”
2 (3) oz packages cream cheese
2 Tbsp mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 (1lb) CAN {2 cups} whole cranberry sauce}
1 9 oz CAN crushed pineapple or pineapple tidbits, drained
1/4 cup chopped california walnuts
1 cup whipping cream, whipped.
Let me reiterate. This is labeled a SALAD!!!
The Barbecue Bible by Steven Raichlen.
*pouts*
We aren’t allowed to grill on the property.
*pouts some more*
Avis – could you bring some Arctic Salad to the cuddle puddle on Friday? Puh-leeeeeez?
Personally I love those family cookbooks that get passed down through the generations, where each generation adds a dozen or so new recipes… :yum:
In Wisconsin, we called that a Waldorf salad.
:ick:
Judy, sure but WHY?
Shadow, you wouldn’t say that if you were part of my family! They can feed themselves, but they can’t cook!
Challenge yourself…do it for the taste. Clickie.
I loooooooove fried green tomatoes! I’ve made them before but I’ll have to try that recipe!
Oh….YUM!!!
The pictures! OH the PICTURES!!
Now I’m hungry.
Try any of the recipes that you find interesting there. I’ve never had a bad experience.
I have a lovely hull cleaner, squishee, and corn nuts soup…
I may have to try that — but most likely with actual eggs and milk (or buttermilk).
I did finally get to make a phyllo-tomato tart with our garden tomatoes. It was pretty tasty, though I realized I should have gone with the salted butter rather than the unsalted (I keep getting sucked in by recipes that call for unsalted butter — but I simply NEVER like them as much as I like them with regular butter). Unfortunately, the tomato plants didn’t produce enough tomatoes for me to do a second version. Our cherry tomato plants produced insane amounts of fruit, but those aren’t quite so easy to slice up & use on a tart.
I had an amazingly good tomato crop this year–no pests or diseases! I was eating three tomatoes a day for a couple of weeks to keep up. I made lots of salsa and gazpacho. Some cherries are still being produced, and I’m eyeing green tomatoes for frying.
My romas are coming so heavily my plants are falling, even with the cages holding them up! I’ll share with ya, nighshayde!
I wish I could grow tomatoes! Hell, I wish I could grow anything! I have a tiny basil sproutling that I started in water and just put into soil. It’s been a week and it hasn’t died yet! This sadly is progress for me.
We used Topsy Turvys to grow our tomato plants & they did great. I think some neighborhood bunnies discovered the big tomatoes, though. They didn’t pay attention to the cherry tomatoes, but something was definitely nomming the regular tomatoes.
We like the bunnies though, so we’ll forgive them.
You can add salt to the recipe. I use only unsalted, as you can be sure it’s fresher. Salt is used as a preservative in butter, so it lasts longer in the store and at home. But, it still gets… old tasting. And the difference can be by weeks.
The hazards of having worked in a grocery store.
I know nobody cares, which is why I didn’t to completely derail an innocent comment thread, but I managed to find out where the paranoia about the stealing popcorn thing started.
Clickie. Then keep reading.
A few notes before you all look at me weird:
1) I was a pervert back then. (Emphasis on was.)
2) What I was saying was more or less perfectly acceptable by the FB etiquette rules of a year ago.
3)
Admiral, don’t kill me, this was a year ago, it was before you and Dragon “got together”, as it were
.
4) I think this was one of my very first commenting sessions, for lack of a better word.
Thanks for that blast from the past! That was fun to re-read!
And you weren’t really a pervert. Not by our standards anyway.
Our discussions seem a lot quicker, a lot more on the spot, when viewed in hindsight. A lot weirder too. What the hell were we thinking?
Were we? Thinking I mean.
I know I wasn’t. So many fails on my part in that thread… it’s embarrassing.
*snork*
Thanks for that blast from the past, Shadow!
Heh, silly Shadow, that barely passes for flirting these days. A LOT has changed since then.
Yes, but the standards of what I could get away with with Dragon today (i.e. none), it’s pretty flirtatious. If I do say so myself.

My takeaway from that thread is that I want to eat Thanksgiving dinner at Avis’ house.
This year the maintenance guy friend of mine has asked for Turducken. He’s gonna order it online and I’ll cook it, along with some side dishes. He says he wants to help me get started catering. Last year I… well… go look up the posts around thanksgiving last year and see what I did.
Will it come with all birds already “nested” together or will you have to do that?
Yeah, it should. And trussed as well. For all I know, it’ll even come with it’s own foil roasting pan! *hopes* *doesn’t like washing dishes*
*buys ticket to Chicago for Thanksgiving*
I’ve always wanted to try Turducken! I make a pretty mean mashed potato, I’d be willing to contribute!
Um… this is gonna go down about a week before Thanksgiving. I’m actually gonna be out of town the real day of.
What do you put in your mashed potatoes?
*changes date on ticket*
Well, I’m a purist when it comes to my potatoes. Just salt, pepper, butter and milk…but it’s enough butter for a heart attack according to my mother. Gotta be enough milk and butter to make them creamy. If you want fancy garlicky mashed taters you’ll have to look elsewhere.
Oh, I would never! But sometime, if you want to be decadent, try adding heavy cream. Plus enough butter for a heart attack. Trust me.
I’ve been meaning to try cream instead of milk for sometime now. It’s just a matter of remembering to pick it up at the store, seeing as how it’s not a staple I keep in the fridge.
*adds heavy cream to grocery list*
You can also try cream cheese and/or creme fraiche. In addition to. Not instead of.
Once a year is not in excess.
When you get the heavy cream, it would probably be a good time to try out a recipe for some sort of cream soup (so no cream goes to waste)… or use it as whipped cream for a scrumptious dessert.
*seconds this idea*
I did one of Giada’s recipes this past year. Potatoes, milk, sour cream, butter, mozzerella cheese, and parmesan cheese — topped with garlic herb seasoned bread crumbs. OMG — super delicious & super easy.
MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm.
My potatoes always have a bunch of ingrediments…no purist here! I like ‘em with garlic and manchego cheese, a dollop of sour cream with the half-and-half, bacon…
*goes into a mashed potato-longing coma*
Before I swim laps, I’ve been making instant mashed potatoes for myself. The past couple times, I’ve put in mozzerella, parmesan, sour cream, garlic salt, margarine, salt, and pepper.
I love potatoes.
I have a roasted potato recipe that is deeeeeeeeevine! Greek potatoes with lemon and a bunch of other things. So good.
*is now cooking pasta with sun dried tomatoes and feta*
I got hungry! And it’s all I have in the house right now!
I did some super-simple roasted fingerling potatoes Saturday night on the grill. I made a bowl out of aluminum foil, sliced the potatoes & put them into the bowl — drizzled liberally with olive oil, seasoned with garlic salt, salt, pepper, and a little lemon juice. Sealed up the foil packet & left it on the grill for 25 minutes.
Bonus being that there’s no cleanup required for such a thing.
If you can find it get some white truffle infused olive oil and mix just a tiny bit in with the rest of the olive oil for fingerling potatoes. I almost died it was so good!
Ooooh. I wonder if Trader Joe’s would have such a thing. We also have a Bristol Farms nearby … but I prefer Trader Joe’s.
Try a Whole Foods or a specialty shop. Penzey’s is a spice shop that I think is online as well as brick and mortar that has white truffle salt. This stuff is to die for. Just wonderful. And it only takes the tiniest of pinches, less than you would think, to add to anything you might be cooking. But definitely add it during the cooking, not after.
We also have a Whole Foods close to work. This could work out nicely!
*sigh*
I love Bristol Farms and Trader Joes. And we don’t have anything even remotely like that around here.
*pout*
I am unfamiliar with Bristol Farms, I do know Trader Joe’s very well though. I go almost every day!
Here’s the recipe for the potatoes.
It’s not very often that talk of potatoes around here will make us hungry. Way to go!
Me too. I’ll be the waiter.
*puts on waiter costume*
May I take your order, m’lady?
I still do. And reading that list of food still makes me droolzz.zfksod;fiaosfa.
Damn keyboard short-circuited.
Hey! That’s my local news station!
Cameraman Cameron!
Nice work by the anchor there.
Completely off topic (not that it matters here), what’s with Engrish? Why are all the avatars there shapes? Anyone friendly with that side of the FB family?
Wordpress allows you to choose the avatar type for posters on blogs. The Powers that Be chose the shapes for that one, the geometric designs for this one!
And I think there are a few cross-posters, but I don’t know who specifically posts on Engrish.
I know they gave us some fugly geometric shape faces (kind of like the blocks in “SNOOD,” in case you’re familiar with that odd yet addictive little video game) as default avatars on ICHC one day. We begged for our little quiltee squares back & got them back pretty soon after that.
*shudder*
Those things were horrid!
Oohhhhhhhh…I love Snood.
LOVE THE SNOOD!!!!
Pfft. Blocked at work, of course.
Sheesh — it’s like they’d rather have me WORK than PLAY GAMES. *sigh*
Nawwww… they wouldn’t be that mean. Surely.
Yes, they would… and please don’t call me Shirley.
All right, all right. No need to get shirty.

check out the default avatars on Look ALike – lol
… The poor GraphJam folks get nuthin!!
I’d say it’s an online editor fail.
Camera over that way >
Please?
Um, that is not a “cameraman” fail. That is a director’s fail. The cameraman has nothing to do with the changing of the shot.
I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you
Um…Marius. Lookie and the timestamps. VV
AT. AT the timestamps!!
*bukkits*
I hate to tell you this, but according to the recent comments box Marius’ comment came in just before yours.
*cringes*
What…? That doesn’t matter. I just thought it was HIGH-larious that we both did the same thing at the same time to the SAME COMMENT!!
*snorkity*
That is pretty amazing actually!
Hee! What are the odds?
*snerk*
Cheers Marius!
I won’t let you down.
You are the lucky thirteenth person to say that! Or something like it. Congratulations!! Here’s what you’ve won!
*hands over a slightly stained, minimally used rubber pink fist*
Enjoy!
Does anyone know where that Fist has been? Or where its going??
Some of us think we don’t want to know.
By the way — this doesn’t appear to be a “cameraman” fail. I believe someone else is at fault.

I just want to tell you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.

No – I’m not suggesting that ZA be chided. He made me lol!
Actually, you made me lol too.

Not at all!
For some odd reason, the living usually frown upon those who copy the brain dead. That said, I’m flattered.
Troll-lover maybe.

Yay! She said “yes.” I’m going home.
I have to bake cookies tonight for DD’s school’s bake sale tomorrow. I’ll package up a few to bring to FB tomorrow.
Woohoooooo!!!
Happy early day to you, nightshayde!
Actually this is not a Camaraman Fail, it’s a Technical Director Fail. Looks like he did a take instead of a standby on the switcher.
*facepalm* OF COURSE!!! A take instead of a standby on the switcher … how stupid we are …
that’s really more of a “Switcher Fail”. Don’t blame the cameraman.
AAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!

So you are an URBAN cowboy, huh?
Fo shizz, pardner. *taps brim of hat*

Happy to help!
In Soviet Russia, bukkit gives YOU!
Errr… you do realise that if Shadow catches you, you are going to be spending 10 minutes in the bukkit as well?
It was worth it.
In Alice’s Wonderland, Shadow does not do what she does.
Oh noes! It’s the fuzz!
*runs to the getaway car*
*joins in getaway car* I need to avoid the owner of the building I flew through the windows in.
I gave up. I only two minutes ago came back here. It was that or there wouldn’t be any fish or shellack left in the world.
At least nobody is pointing out that robotic cameras are often used in TV news these days. Woops!
Out of deference to Dragon, I’ll do nothing.
I don’t think that it’s actually a cameraman fail. I think it might… no, I know that it is…
…
…
A BMW WIN!!!!!!
That should be director fail.
*flies through another window*
hello hello is any one here?
*yells while out of the window* Yes!
This is misnamed. That wouldn’t be the camera person’s fail. That would be the director’s fail.
I guess that makes this a fail at naming your fail.
How many people have said this now? 15? 16?
That wouldn’t be the camera person’s fail. That would be the director’s fail. LOL 18 now
That wouldn’t be the camera person’s fail. That would be the director’s fail. #19 yay!
Didn’t you look below? (xnamkcor)
#20. Win for me!
Did you count my one above ^ ?
*elementary math fail*
(mea culpa)
I think you’re missing the fail that I’m pointing out. Plus… How can you people actually take the time to read all of those?
Anyway: It’s a naming fail. Which you have then read my post and failed to realize the fail being pointed out… So it’s like a quadruple fail.
If this is a camera man fail, I have to ask two questions.
Where did he learn to teleport himself AND a studio camera?
Why is he working at a studio?
Well, *sigh* I have school tomorrow (I’m going to 12th grade). So I won’t post that much anymore.

Hey, you might as well be comfortably mortified, you know?
*falls asleep on the couch* Good night ZzZzZzZzZz
*dreams about sleeping on a couch*
Say what???!!!
I can get a chance on the weekends though.
Awwww! I remember doing that! Nearly half a lifetime ago.
I’m off to catch a plane. There’s a chance I won’t be able to get on to FB where I’m going. So in that case it’s goodbye from me and see you all in a week!
Is it an American plane…made in America? Safe travels, Aja. Thanks for dropping a note.
*squeeze!*
Have a wonderful time, Aja!
*squeeeeeeeeeeeze*
Well, this is the first time we’ve been able to set up the wasteland and have more people than just Captain Obvious, Alice, me, and a bunch of trolls there.
*sets up lawn chairs on scenic cliff overlooking the city*
*lights bonfire*
This is actually a tradition, every year, after the Chevrolet hydroracing cup event is over (We’re volunteers for the event.) Me, my dad, and a bunch of his and my friends will go into a little grassy area when it gets dark, probably 50′x50′ behind the will call booth (where we do our volunteer work), set up a circle of lawn chairs, light a bonfire, one of them usually brings a cooler full of beer (although I obviously don’t get to drink it), and we’ll… talk. About our life over the past year since we last saw each other. About the antics that went down at this years event. About stuff.
To be honest, it’s one of my favorite parts of the entire race week.
*nostalgia*
How the hell is this a cameraman fail? Obviously the moron who titled this knows nothing about the production of a newscast. There is no “cameraman fail” here. The cameraman had nothing to do with the fact the DIRECTOR changed over to the other camera on accident. The cameraman has no control over this what-so-ever.
*facepalm*
Seriously, dude, you are the 21st person to say that.
Actually those comments are all TV production fail.
It’s probably not director fail, or technical director fail (as at least one person suggested). It’s vision switcher or vision mixer fail.
Typically the director calls the shots, the vision switcher pushes the buttons on the controller to make the cut.
The technical director is responsible for control the image from the cameras (CCU operation) and controlling the lighting.
In news some of those roles could be mutli-tasked, but it’s unlikely the director is actually running the desk as he has other stuff to focus on.
Ha. I just commented on that too. There’s too many comments to scroll through to bother to see if someone already said it. ^^;
Wow, my local news channel on fail blog, I knew the day would come.
KLTV 7 Fails in general
oh my god he is SO cute and that eyebrow thing…[sighs with delight and desire]
Isn’t this more of a wearing awesome t-shirt win?
Title fail. It’s actually the people in the live editing suite that choose the camera view – the cameraman just stands and points at one person. There would be a camera for each person in this example, so to get a head on view.
Thanks! I was surprised that no one had noticed that! XD
Rammed by the writers.
that’s no cameraman fail, that’s technician-behind-his-cpu-fail.
Yes! Thank you! I just commented on that below, as well! *Laughs*
uhhh… the fail here is the student suing a nonprofit organization thats educating him. the reason schools can do that kinda thing is the same one that allows them to search your locker for any reason at all
Actually, this could count as a fail… I worked at a TV station, and that wouldn’t have been the cameraman’s fault. There are usually at least 3 cameras running the different angles. 2 for close-ups on each anchor, 1 for the pulled back shot of the news team. (That’s minimum)
The people in the control room are in charge of what shots are appearing on TV, they program which cameras to queue up on screen. Usually the anchors have a TV for themselves to see exactly what’s going on, so that’s probably what happened. ^^ the control room fell asleep!
Exactly what he said.
Not that anyone but morons and monkeys read and write most of the comments anyway.
Really more of a TD (technical director) fail.
That’s not a camera man fail, that’s a control room fail.
And thats why I dont watch KLTV 7 in Tyler
KETKNBC 56 owns!
I rather enjoy KLTV though I grew up watching 56, it’s just not the same as it use to be. Reflecting back on the days with Doc as the weatherman was it?
Well their corny ‘Does it Work’ segments can be funny sometimes but other than I never watch.
haha East Texans on failblog
Yeah, that’s a switcher/director fail.
Notice how the camera doesn’t swing over to the second anchor.
Entry titling FAIL!
The camera man fancies to co-anchor…………..
An agent from the Matrix!
this was a director’s fail, or perhaps a switcher operator fail, not a cameraman fail
I knew my local news would end up here one day.
east texas represent! yay for tyler, tx!
Actually It isnt the camera mans fault or failure, It is the people working in the gallery. the camera mans job on a tv set is to stand there and get told where to move to and which way! The person in the gallery who is called a switcher or a Vision mixer controls what is being feeded to your televisions and obviously pressed a wrong button and was that stupid that he/she didnt know what had actually happened. You could even argue to say it was the directors fault because in some cases they tell the switcher/vision mixer to either switch to camera one or switch to camera two. but this idiot switched the camera 3!
Don’t blame the camera guy…blame the stupid technical director that pushed the wrong button!!!
How about TITLE FAIL? That’s not the cameraman’s fault. It’s the technical director’s fault. The TD is the person in the control room pressing the buttons that determine which camera appears on the air.
Source: I worked in broadcasting for 8 years and have witnessed various TDs make tons of mistakes similar to this one.
I wish I had video of the day we were supposed to open the newscast with the anchors at the chroma key wall (green screen) with a graphic behind them… but instead, the TD opened with the camera aimed at the news desk — and nobody sitting there, just 2 empty chairs! He got so flustered, he then went to the “raw” feed of the right camera — meaning he had anchors, but no graphic behind them, just that big ugly green wall. Seconds later, like magic, the graphic just “appeared.” Classic.
Anyone else think that the presenter looks like Lily Thai?
This is fail because of the use of Fat TV mode.
How ironic.. I graduated from said school. The person who sued the school was known to take a leak off the balcony of hotels on band trips… A bit of an idiot that one.
This is a Technical Director fail, not a cameraman fail. Both anchors are on separate cameras.
There’s a white man hiding under the skin of every black news anchor.
ha. my boyfriend is the teleprompter for this news station :b
Not the cameraman’s fault. 100% the directors fault, or the TD. He’s the one who chooses which camera to grab from.
What this guy said.
Dumbass, it’ not cameraman, it ‘s the guy behind videomixing desk
Actually it’s the guy using the switchboard who failed, not the cameraman.
i have to admit…thats pretty funny, but the camera man had nothing to do with that. as you could see, the image went from the camera on the woman to the camera on the man. it was someone in the control room who screwed up, not the camera man…but it was funny either way xD
