The fat kids drinking Nesquick will sure be happy when they are obese and have heart attacks at 50.
What a stupid thing to say. You don’t get obese from Nesquik.
Actually, yes you do.
No you don’t, Nesquick is delicious.
See? Everything which is fun either makes you fat, is morally dubious and/or illegal.

Then which glass of happiness am I drinking?
That’s the spirit!
You could make a good case for that.
Wow, i just found out that Nespresso also was from Nescafé. That was a huge commercial success for them.
I got a QUESTION that’s been bothering me for some time now, maybe an english or american blogger can help me with:
I often read people writing “of” instead of “‘ve”. Is that some new way or is it just wrong’
For example saying:”You could of told me” instead of
:”You could’ve told me”
Has anyone noticed that too or am I going nuts here?
THANK YOU ALL FOR REPLYING! I WRITE IN CAPS SO THE MESSAGE WON’T GO UNNOTICED!
Well, “ve” is for You could have told me, with could’ve being short for could have.
I’m pretty sure could’ve is correct, but you should ask Dragonwriter. She should know.
And I just failed at changing my name back to normal.
yes, exactly, that’s how it always was, but nowadays, i happen to read more and more often “could of” or “should of” etc.
TOM, to replace “have” with “of” is a heinous crime in the grammar world. Arthur Eld would explode if you used “should of” instead of “should have”. The people using “of” are failing at English. “Have” is, and is always, correct.
I think it would be worse for Dragon. And BTW – I doubt that Tom’s question was serious. He’s craving for attention, all the time, by every means. Which is even more sad since he proved yesterday that he is able to contribute (see the discussion about health care).
The question actually was serious. If i was craving for attention i’d ‘ve made a seemingly racist remark.
The question was slightly rascist towards grammmar.
Rascist? RASCIST?!
*head explodes again in fury*
my mistake, RACIST.
*Cleans up head juices*
Say, Badger Whisperer, are you by any chance unlimited?
come again?
I guess the answer is no. Never mind.
What do you mean, I’m confuzzled.
We have a regular here who recently changed his name on MySpace. I tried to find out if you’re him. No.
Nope, ‘fraid not
You’re welcome as yourself!
Like you did yesterday (more than once). Or you would reply to your own comments again and again, like you did yesterday. Or you would randomly insult people, like you did yesterday. Or you would interrupt other conversations, like you did yesterday.
Face it, you’re a troll.
I always found replying to oneself’s comments rather cool. But i don’t agree that i insulted people yesterday, let alone randomly!
So, after all i’m not the only one reading this nonsense?
Isn’t Arthur Eld german?
What do you mean “Isn’t Arthur Eld german”?! He speaks perfect English! I didn’t know he was German until he told me! Why would that make a difference to anything?
we don’t know if he speaks perfect english! He writes perfect english, but maybe, just maybe, without knowing for sure, therefore not insulting anyone, he has a slight german accent?
It is? You should of told me!
*runs away before grammar police finds out*
*zooms to C.C in police cars*
*blocks road*
*shouts in megaphone*
You have been surrounded! Put down the mangled English, I repeat, put down the mangled English!
Gak!!!
I’m merely the transporter! The folks on Carver St. are the ones growing it!
*hands over green mass of mangled English in plastic bags*
*bomb disposal squad eliminates mangled English in controlled explosion*
Don’t let us catch you transporting such contraband again!
*drives off*
It should be “could have” where the ‘ve is a conjunction between a base word (could) and the word have. People just talk so fast that they hear “of” instead of “have”. They are wrong.
I know its a grammar FAIL.. but it happens when people type how they talk .. the ‘ve kind of makes the of sound… you see?.. and yes .. I type all the pieriods because I type how I talk … yes I’m slow .. don’t judge me.
The correct term is “could have.” So this is correct…”could’ve”…but most people PRONOUNCE “could of”…hence the written out could of.
Does that help?
no we like coulda, woulda, shoulda
“You could of told me” is completely wrong.
could have
or
could’ve
could’ve is short for could have which is proper English. Could of sounds the same but isn’t correct.
Kind of a weak fail
You’re not going to start wineing about it, are you?
Beeriously!
Hoppy to see you AE.
Ale you feeling wine, Cognace?
I racked my brain to come up with a real corker to end the night on, but I’m tapped out. Night all and don’t lose your heads.
Sleep well and to your health!
*sips*
those who go to sleep are douchebags!
Real men never sleep!
M-hmm…
ask Chuck Norris if you don’t believe me!
So everyone but Chuck Norris is automatically a DB?
No, but Chuck is representing all the real men!
Thats the yeast of your problems, right?
i don’t get it?
Soda person?
Are you asking me if you get it or not?
He does. I’d say yes, he gets it.
yeah, otherwise he’d not have used a question mark!
Drinking for all ages… WIN!!
Your move, Nestlé.
You were quick tonight.
I’m pretty stirred up today.
As long as you’re not shaken.
Yesterday I was left shaken by a dark eery tale.
…and lost my spelling abilities.
~ie
Are you sure it wasn’t a dark ale?
Yes, and unfortunately I got some on mai tai.
But fortunately you’re a black belt in muay thai!
I’ll take some Quick shosts of happiness!
Hey! My ban was removed! Yippie!
*sigh* once again, proof that Maryland is just one big giant fail itself. I live about midway between the city on this bilboard and Baltimore -_-;; (About 15 minutes either way)
Isn’t Washington DC in Maryland? I don’t think you need any further proof.
No, DC is in no state at all, but instead inside of the District of Columbia (for DC). However, some of its suburbs might reach into Maryland, and geographically speaking, the district digs into Maryland and Virginia.
Learn something new every day. Amazing, these internets.
THERE’S TWO INTERNETS?! Why was I not informed of this?
Maybe even more!
MULTIPLE INTERNETS?!?! That’s….that’s…
*head explodes*
*janitor comes by and cleans up the chunks*
Multiple Internets for multiple realities.
*janitor listens to the coversation while cleaning up the chunks*
*opens door*
…and once the lazer is trained on Washington, we phone the White House and-
*looks at Shadow*
How much did you hear? HOW MUCH?!
*looks* Not much *looks away and mutters to self*
Good. Now, run along. Here’s your $50 dollars.
I think the Janitor needs to be ‘removed’ before Operation Pravus can be put into effect
See, you do learn something new every day.
Washington DC is not in Maryland. It is adjacent to Maryland, mostly on land donated by Maryland in the 18th century, but it is not IN Maryland.
I live less than a mile from this billboard. With or without this billboard, Maryland *ugh* blows.
Then move. Staying where you are unhappy is a FAIL in itself.
oooohhh I get it
Took me 3mins
“You can’t buy happiness… but you can drink it”?
That’s what she said.
Damn you.
Good morning and cya later to who knows when.
*squeeze*
BTW Shadow, I created a website for us C.C.’s (or C.C.C.’s), but I’m not quite sure what to actually do with it right now. Do you have any ideas? I’m sure 5eags will have ideas too, and maybe a few other Cool Cats that I’m not aware of.
Here is the link: htt p://coolcatscentral.weebly. com/
That is so cool Halifax!. Good morning bro!. I will check it out. We should ask TOM to be a memeber of C C C lol.
He needs an avatar 1st though.
5 eagles, you do know TOM is a troll, right?
Yes GBF But my comment still stand and I hope he doesn’t see this but you guys really make me laugh when you play with him like a cat on a string. He chases the string right into the wall and sometimes he gets the string but gets his claws caught!. Does that makes sense?
Side Bar: I finally get the should of and have.
have is something you possibly have on you
of is the future possessive.
Is this correct?
Too late my friend, i read it and i’m amused!
Could you please give me an example of me chasing the string into the wall or getting my claws caught?
Side Bar: I dont’ think it’s correct, you normally can’t say “should of”.
Cheers!
Bondfan, you do know that what you’re doing ain’t politically correct, right?
“ain’t politically correct”? What in blazes are on about?
because trollcalling, with all the negative associations that come with that word nowadays, can be very offensive or upsetting to some people!
I agree it is a cool site.
You cannot beat over happiness over drinks. How about a nice song to cheer everyone!
Good Morning all. I should of brought cookies.(hehehehe) grammer.
Good morning 5eags!
Clickie for u.
That is so awesome!!. Man you have talent.
*blush*
It’s actually pretty simple. The only difficult part is the banner, and right now it looks kinda fuzzy cuz I’m using vista paint, which is pretty lame.
Ideas: a chat room? a link to Failblog? a new member sign up list?
Simple to your talents but I wonder at the how the h e l l you can do this?
The blog comments can be used as chatrooms like they are here I guess. I’m not sure if I can link to failblog, but I’ll try. And there isn’t a member sign-up list feature available, but I’ve worked with another site-building site that might work well. Maybe the current one will be just the blog, and the other will be the members one.
I’ll try in these next minutes and send you the links.
However, I’ll need your email (I know, if you don’t feel comfortable sharing it here, just contact me via shurikenmoytaru @gmail .com, or just make another personal email account) in order for you to create your profile.
My email is five.eagles@hotmail.com

I’d call that a Win.
i could of read of mice and men in the oven, but that should of put me in the office of would of
It’s not a fail, it’s clearly a WIN!
That’s billboard itself is a FAIL because I suppose they’re trying to say that Nestle Quick is happiness with that last line. But then the first line…Are they trying to tell me I can’t buy Nestle Quick?!
I think the same thing many times a day…
this fail wasnt even funny it was just stupid the fail is that you can drink happiness and there is an alcoholic beverage propaganda next to it
This looks more like a WIN to me!
/agree def WIN
I just wanna know where I can buy those 18 dollars 30 packs!
Dont you have to buy milkshakes?
also ‘happiness’ sounds like ‘a-penis’
Wow nestle are almost as dumb as me
Drinking Advertisement Win?
Not a fail- is a WIN!!!
hm… according to the numbers below the ads, the alcohol ad came after the nesquick ad… so… WIN!!
That is so Baltimore.
Ohhh my. I passed this a few times and thought it was a pretty good fail, didn’t expect to see it on failblog though! Nice going, MD. I missed you.
Hmm… milk over alcohol…
which would I choose…?
i bet the wine company was saying to themselves. damn, that’s a good slogan.
Cheers!!!!
Ummmmmmm this is a WIN.
I don’t get it. Is it funny because both ads are so close together or is is something on the nesquick ad?
@Arthur Eld
I wonder what the people who examined our behaviour would make of this?
Speaking as one of those people, I find it shocking!
