How exactly do you wear a smoking? Please tell me so I can get my flying on. I have never figured out how to wear a present tense verb, and I have so many of them.
“Smoking” here refers to a set of clothes, like a formal black jacket for classy nights. I believe it can get you confused if you are not a native english (like me !).
I am a native American English speaker, and I have never heard of a set of clothes known as smoking, unless it is on fire. I have heard of a smoking jacket, but I’m not familiar with what it is, other than the one in the movie Toys, which actually did smoke.
‘Smoking’ as clothing is strictly a French thing; they call evening jackets smokings, due to some historical confusion. I don’t know what they call smoking jackets.
YOU YANKS ARE SO STUPID,THE SIGN HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN TAMPERED WITH.
IT WOULD HAVE SAID “STROKING” AS IN PETTING OR FEELING UP.

WHOOOAAH! Did you see that DollPS.com commercial on the right sight of your FB window? Did you also see that girls had cyprine dripping from beneath her dress? I wonder why they did that?
I read your students are alright so far? I hope they don’t disappoint you (if they do, tell ‘em I’ll come around and kick some asses!). Have a nice day teaching!
And yes! So far so good. I’ve identified one troublemaker of what I call the “indolent eyeroller” variety. These types of students sit in the back of the class with their arms crossed across their chests and roll their eyes whenever you make them do actual work. This one also tried to catch me out and make me look stupid by belligerently challenging one of my statements. I swear, it’s just like dealing with a troll on the blog. And, as with the trolls, he only managed to make himself look like an ass.
I have no problems with students challenging me or arguing with me…in fact, I encourage it. But that sort of thing is not cool. I’m really hoping that this one is going to realize that those tactics are not going to get him anywhere in my class and drop.
*crosses fingers*
But on the plus side…there are several students who seem really sharp and a lot of fun! So YAY!!
Heh…that’s for sure. People think that profs have an easy job.
…BWUAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!
*ahem* ‘Scuse me.
So to get a job like mine, you have to sell your soul to the devil and become his bitch. At least…that’s what grad school feels like a lot of the time.
Seriously: Be glad that you have a job that you love (several aspects of it, at least)! How many people have to spend a major part of their lifes with shitty stuff just to be able to pay the bills? You’re really fortunate (and I bet you know that ).
I can vouch for the “hard work” part. My dad was a prof. He worked constantly, late into the night, on weekends, etc. It was always something… lecture prep, research, grant applications, publications, etc. They earn every penny.
But summers were great, because he would take as much time as needed for family vacations, backpacking, whatever. And in spite of his hard work, he always made time for the kids somehow.
You also got loads of holidays as a prof, that makes up for the work at home! BEsides, in my country, it’s the best job you can imagine, coz you practically cannot get fired and your income is around 5000 dollars to start with!
So yeah, no more jarred baby food for me. I didn’t realize it was a component in my steroids too. It just goes to show, the internet can save our lives….
I saw the Penn and Teller Bullshit episode where they get a bunch of environuts to sign a petition to ban Dihydrogen Monoxide. Seeing them squirm when they found out how truly uninformed they were was priceless. Just goes to show that people should take the time to educate themselves on a topic before taking up the cause to ban it. Informed decisions prevent bad decisions.
That is too funny…
“Son you cannot have any more dihydrogen monoxide..
But dddaaaddd, I love dihydrogen monoxide…
Sorry son, it can kill you and everyone else on the planet.”

Class: Excuse me, my Dreamweaver is gone!
LCB: (goes to look) No, it’s still open, but it’s minimized. You’re looking at your page now in a web browser. (goes back to front of room) Ok, we’re going to keep this browser window open while we go back to Dreamweaver to make a change then come back here to see what it looks like.
Class: So I close the browser?
LCB: No, leave it open. We’ll come back to it in a moment. Now we’ll go back to our Dreamweaver window and–
Class: My Dreamweaver is gone! (OR) But the back button isn’t working!
LCB: Try using Alt-Tab to move between the windows.
Class: Alt-WHAT?

It’ll have to be non-alcoholic until we’re done with this infernal class. 3 more hours, sigh. They’re nice people, but I can’t believe how they expect to be webmasters if they don’t have basics like right-clicking down yet.
It’s the kind of morning where I wish I had a flip-top head so I could just pour the coffee straight in to my brain. Then maybe I could get my eyes open.

fluffy: it may be to prevent smokers from fouling the air in underwater airdomes. we had one in a public pool when I was a kid, was fun to swim down and up into the airdome. Could breathe in there and look around. A smoker lit up a cigarette in there and I nearly died when I took my first big breath of that filth. Of course the smokers thought it was the greatest fun.
Why are animators always sneaking phallic symbols into kids’ movies? That’s sooo very wrong.

Missed all of ya guys and gals…
Can’t be on long today, I am using a library terminal. Just wanted to drop in and say hi to all.
Okay. A temporary fix is up on the website. I have no clue what happened. Clickie to get the fixed address (or just add /index.php to the old site address)
Speaking of which, Dragon, I’ve been without a fun side project for a while, so I’m just extending my offer of help with the FP blog if you ever want it.
Actually, I’m just an old regular who stopped posting for a ginormously huge relatively short period of time, and has returned to find he has fallen in love all over again. Long days, pleasant nights, stranger. May ka be with you always.
I dunno. If he had one of the default FB avatars that was a confusing jumble of dark-ish blue shapes, then yeah, that was me. But I like to think I’ve matured a bit since then. And thanks!
The wedding has a good story to it. A great one, with a plot twist. I have missed you guys too. I promise I will post pictures when I can so you can all see.
*HUUUUUGE SQUEEZE*
Thanks… This is only a temporary stop by… Looking for internet deals for my place. Apparently I picked the only location in New York that has only one provider… *sigh* oh well… it should be up and running soon.
Well I’ve been doing great up until a couple minutes ago. I haven’t been much lately so there’s a few people I haven’t seen in a while. How are you doing?
Strangely enough, I once met a guy who COULD smoke underwater. He’d hold a cigarette in his teeth (tip in) and close his lips over the filter.
Dip underwater, pop up, flip cig, carry on…. just to prove he could do it.
The sign is from Duluth, Mn, at the Park Point community center by the beach of Lake Superior. They make hilarious signs about once or twice a month. Ive got a couple pics of others I will try to post.
How is Smoking underwater even remotely POSSIBLE!?!?!?
Who in Minnesota wrote that law?
Did they have any idea how stupid that sounds?
Betcha they never get back in as a dogcatcher…
This is actually possible. Me and my friends have smoked Hookah off a Pontoon in our lake before while we were underwater. We brought the hose underwater with us
I take the photo to mean that the smoker and cigar, cigarette or pipe must be fully submerged with the cigar, cigarette or pipe light for the infraction to be committed…
I blame the republicans. They must have made this sign. And LOL at meowth. Fail to understand context of “English”. This sign doesn’t make me proud to be Minnesotan.
Not to worry Minnesotans, I think some natural laws already cover this burning issue. Not now, not in the future, or in the past, will underwater smoking plague your “beautiful” state.
“It’s bad for you, mmkay?”
no what they meant was, it’s prohibited to wear a smoking underwater, because when it gets wet it’ll drag you down and you might drown!
you got it right … but there is not fun in this interpretation
Now they need a tax for all fish caught in air on dry land! I bet it would be a great revenue booster!
so i guess its also illegal for smoking whilst flying over the state capital using nothing more than flapping too pieces of card really really fast.
dont worry. i do that all the time. get a pipe and light them up
Hey! Minnesota rocks!
How exactly do you wear a smoking? Please tell me so I can get my flying on. I have never figured out how to wear a present tense verb, and I have so many of them.
“Smoking” here refers to a set of clothes, like a formal black jacket for classy nights. I believe it can get you confused if you are not a native english (like me !).
I somehow doubt the state of Minnesota is using native English dialect in their signs.
I am a native American English speaker, and I have never heard of a set of clothes known as smoking, unless it is on fire. I have heard of a smoking jacket, but I’m not familiar with what it is, other than the one in the movie Toys, which actually did smoke.
a smoking is a tuxedo

‘Smoking’ as clothing is strictly a French thing; they call evening jackets smokings, due to some historical confusion. I don’t know what they call smoking jackets.

or maby when you take a drag you’ll drown
By the way, the word ’smoking’ is de iure not existing in English. Ah, who cares?
Not nearly as dangerous as Dihydrogen Monoxide, however. (clickie)
“Research conducted by award-winning U.S. scientist Nathan Zohner concluded that roughly 86 percent of the population supports a ban on dihydrogen monoxide.”
I wasn’t even aware that roughly 86 of the population knew what it was.
What I love is the invitation at the bottom to sign up for their newsletter. I wonder what they do with that list…
I love how they try to make it sound like a conspiracy.
Thank God i’ve got family in North Dakota *SnORk!!!*
I would bet that at least 89 of the population know what it is.
The human body is about 60% dihydrogen monoxide in adult males and 55% in adult females, mmkay?
Err… thanks.
playing roughly, eh?
Such coarse language…
looks like you 86′d your percentage
WHOOOAAH! Did you see that DollPS.com commercial on the right sight of your FB window? Did you also see that girls had cyprine dripping from beneath her dress? I wonder why they did that?

*squeezes Skratdaddy* Looks like I started the roleplay hornychat already.
You’re so good at that. By the way, how did you ever manage to get back home from Cameraman Fail when you were passed out on the floor last time I checked?
1. I have a gift for roleplay hornychat.
2. Fail Blog Taxi dropped me off here.
3. Safety.
4. Squeeze.
1. So I noticed.
2. At least you didn’t try driving home.
3. Nothing to say here. Universal truth.
4. Return squeeze.
5. Just to make it a nice, even (odd) number.
Number 3 should always be Safety!
I try to look out for all of my multiple personalities!
Sheesh, you could have at least named them, the poor things!
Really! Even I named the chip on my shoulder!
But there are so many, and I was never very good at remembering names, Beatrice.

Can you still drink beer underwater in Minnesota?
If not this is no longer the United Stated of America….
I dissent!
*Trades Jimbo’s d for a s*
I totally did that on purpose. It was supposed to be a political statement? Yeah, that showed our oppression by the man!!
Not if you’re underwaterage.
Fish don’t want your second hand smoke.
And no smoking in schools.
Guess I’ll have to make smoked salmon in another state.
Ooh, mind if I join you?
*eyes Shadow sternly*
Are you old enough to smoke?
Old enough to smoke salmon, certainly.
Ok. Carry on then.
Smokin’ toke? When’s the road trip and where to I sign up??
*quickly swaps ‘t’ for ‘d’*
Fingers on autopilot…
I think Alaska is still safe
Really?!
*Snork!*
yah, it is too cold to start fires there…the ice will put it out
Thank goodness there isn’t any OIL there…
Fish don’t have hands – wouldn’t that be second fin smoke
yeah , i was fined 20 bucks because i smoked underwater.
fluffy: it may be to prevent smokers from fouling the air in underwater airdomes. we had one in a public pool when I was a kid, was fun to swim down and up into the airdome. Could breathe in there and look around. A smoker lit up a cigarette in there and I nearly died when I took my first big breath of that filth. Of course the smokers thought it was the greatest fun.
You see that wonderful little reply button at the bottom of every post on this page right now? Use it.
now how did the smoker manage to get a dry cigarette to that place and then light it with a dry lighter?
ziplock bag.
irony fail.
A plastic bag
no can do
…great things!
because we all know that the mermaids are crack addicts… >.<
You know, that could explain the film “The Little Mermaid”.
I think she was actually doing something a bit stronger…

Face it. Colorful, talking fish, singing crabs, disembodied voices… She had to be on drugs.
You just described my front room…..and I am sober!
You have disembodied voices in your front room? Where can I get some?
I have no idea how it happened, my new house is disturbingly echoey!….either that or it is haunted!
or in the custardy of fairies

Don’t forget the phallic symbols.
Phallic symbols? I don’t remember those being a treasured part of my childhood.
Everything is a phallic symbol if you look hard enough. *points to washington monument*
Actual size, too, I’ll bet. Everyone knows old George-y was a very big boy indeed.
They’re planning to rename it the Clinton Monument
Nah, that’s the name of the cigar shop down the street.
I can just !magine the souvineers they’d sell.
a tribute to bill clinton!
Why are animators always sneaking phallic symbols into kids’ movies? That’s sooo very wrong.
I giggled when it was pointed out to me, but still! WRONG wrong wrong…*giggle*
There’s an aroused priest in the wedding scene
Just HAD to be the priest, didn’t it?! Typical! *gigglesnorkle*
The Vicar got promoted, or whatever the clergy equivalent of promotion is.
it really depends on what you are smoking… pot is really fun to smoke underwater. One big water bong.
Camels do not handle the underwater thing very well anyways.
They get the hump, when drowning.
But…it’s not hump day anymore.
But Camels are permenantly grumpy!
*swaps k@’s ‘e’ for an ‘a’*
Thank you- I am not sure I have been properly awake enough to spell correctly for the last week….either I have been fluking it, or no one has noticed…which is nice!
Any time. *squeeze*

*falls asleep*

ew
Really? I think it’s hot.
*sets up a fan for Shadow*
There you go. Hope that helps.
Oh, exponentially.
If water is bad for smoking, we need to ban water. Lets ban Dihydrogen Monoxide. It kills! Look at the number of people who drown each year. Water=bad
Looks Photoshopped to me. If it’s real, how about posting its physical location?
Umm… Minnesota.
I think maybe she was asking where in Minnesota (now kindly answered below)
*headdesk* *sighs into keyboard*

What does the note say? *tries to look over Ms B’s shoulder*

Are you blonde?
In my opinion, If you can find someone who can smoke underwater, leave them to it.
Well you should see me in my speedo!
You fools! This law was created to prevent Michael Phelps being caugth smoking bongs in Minnesota
he would be moving to fast for it to be able to get lighted
If I had a nickel for everytime I heard “is that a lighter in your speedo or are you just glad to see me” I would be a rich man right now.
You should try it after you take the lighter out..
Just a lighter? Not a potato or a brick?
just my little dic lighter
the real reason they have this law is to prevent fires cause by people falling asleep underwater and lighting their seabeds on fire
Clorine is flamable . . . so maybe they are just afraid the whole pool will turn into a giant bomb?
If people Minnesota can physically smoke underwater, I’m so visiting!!!
Is flamable anything like flammable. I think flamable has something to do with farting. And really a swiming pool becoming a giant bomb is just dumb.
*grumbling*
no grumbling underwater
why not?
People keep getting smarter and smarter every day…
thank you!!!!
and aren’t you missing a “.”?
Awww, no way!
So much for my ingenious plan to sell magnesium-powered cigarettes…
where are puffer fish supposed to go?
I know that is really stupid because puffer fish cannot read
I am sensing a new olympic water event… syncronized smoking while swimming.
*POUNCESQUEEZE!*
*Large and long squeeze*
Missed all of ya guys and gals…
Can’t be on long today, I am using a library terminal. Just wanted to drop in and say hi to all.
Give Mrs. Aiki a *squeeze* from us.
Aiki! Do (*snicker*) drop in as often as you can!
*squeeze*
Okay. A temporary fix is up on the website. I have no clue what happened. Clickie to get the fixed address (or just add /index.php to the old site address)
Oo!
*runs to link the map on Aiki’s site to the failpeeps site*
Speaking of which, Dragon, I’ve been without a fun side project for a while, so I’m just extending my offer of help with the FP blog if you ever want it.
*extends*
*squeeze*
We miss you Aiki!
Aiki!!
*SKA-WEEZE*
Welcome back! How was the wedding? We missed you!
He/she got married? Congrats!
*makes sure he has notecards for introductory speech in order*
Okay… *ahem*. I’m Shadow. I’m Fail Blog’s resident shadow cowboy.
Actually, I’m just an old regular who stopped posting for a ginormously huge relatively short period of time, and has returned to find he has fallen in love all over again. Long days, pleasant nights, stranger. May ka be with you always.
*taps brim of hat*
/roland
HTML failure… ginormously huge was supposed to be
stricken. Oh well.Thanks Shadow. I remember a shadow posting a while ago that I used to read (back when I lurked) Was that you? Anyway welcome back!
I dunno. If he had one of the default FB avatars that was a confusing jumble of dark-ish blue shapes, then yeah, that was me. But I like to think I’ve matured a bit since then. And thanks!
You’ve Matured? When? How could I miss this?
Since I spent a little bit of time beyond the influence of… certain people.
Certain people, You mean Putin?
Off topic, but your clicky is great, it’s nice to see journalists doing the work that really impacts society.
The BBC Had a slow news day
Umm… yeah.
*shifty eyes*
In Capitalist Russia, State influences you!
=.=
Really?
Sure, Putin was a former KGB Agent & The communist party was elected into office repeatedly
The wedding has a good story to it. A great one, with a plot twist. I have missed you guys too. I promise I will post pictures when I can so you can all see.
I don’t want to bother you with unimportant stuff, but I’ll do it anyway: What happend to your website?
I have no clue!
Drat… just when you think that it is safe to look away.
WELCOME BACK!
*BIG squeeze!!*
*HUUUUUGE SQUEEZE*
Thanks… This is only a temporary stop by… Looking for internet deals for my place. Apparently I picked the only location in New York that has only one provider… *sigh* oh well… it should be up and running soon.
Oh, PHOOOO! I missed Aiki!!
*belated squeeze*
We look forward to having you back, furry one!
It’s the elusive Aikiwaza! *squeeze*
Elusive?! Me?!
*Squeeze*
You have now been squozen.
WELCOME BACK!
the other thought is shouldn’t the sign be underwater in case puffer fish could read.
did you know that puffer fish smoke just for the halibut
i see them shelling packs of cigarettes to the other fish all the time.
I asked the puffer fish about this but he just clammed up.
… As do the Laws oh Physics.
Sorry. We follow the laws of nature fairly closely, here. : /
Oh Sh*t! That’s my state! Guess no more underwater smoking…
Hey Ninja, LTNS! How are you?
Well I’ve been doing great up until a couple minutes ago. I haven’t been much lately so there’s a few people I haven’t seen in a while. How are you doing?
*on Fail Blog
What happend a couple of minutes ago? I’m fine, thank you. Come over on the new fail, will ya’?
I found out I have to go down to Iowa when I want to smoke underwater.
Strangely enough, I once met a guy who COULD smoke underwater. He’d hold a cigarette in his teeth (tip in) and close his lips over the filter.
Dip underwater, pop up, flip cig, carry on…. just to prove he could do it.
Screw you Minnesota!
The sign is from Duluth, Mn, at the Park Point community center by the beach of Lake Superior. They make hilarious signs about once or twice a month. Ive got a couple pics of others I will try to post.
..and firing in the sky
How’s that possible? It’s extinguish when you do it underwater… Admiral and General admit it whenever they smoke underwater.
*puff puff* …. Sorry what?
How is Smoking underwater even remotely POSSIBLE!?!?!?
Who in Minnesota wrote that law?
Did they have any idea how stupid that sounds?
Betcha they never get back in as a dogcatcher…
Hence the fail…
Man, I haven’t been on failblog for a while!
the law of physics prohibits that too.
Minnesota – land of 10,000,000,000,000 laws.
Such as it is illegal to give or receive oral sex. I don’t think that one’s enforced though. There’s a lot of stupid laws here.
Can I float and smoke?
like sponge bob with patrick and the fire
Maybe there are submarines
And fire in the sky!!!
what?
It would be catastrophic if they did allow it.
The sad thing is, for them to have to post that, someone probably tried it.
Is there a policy about Fire in the sky??
This is actually possible. Me and my friends have smoked Hookah off a Pontoon in our lake before while we were underwater. We brought the hose underwater with us
Do they mean a smoking jacket?
this is hilarious because its in duluth at park point near the beach.
There is a way to smoke underwater.
Use a snorkel.
I take the photo to mean that the smoker and cigar, cigarette or pipe must be fully submerged with the cigar, cigarette or pipe light for the infraction to be committed…
I blame the republicans. They must have made this sign. And LOL at meowth. Fail to understand context of “English”. This sign doesn’t make me proud to be Minnesotan.
Wait, what? Are you saying that I failed to understand context of “English”? How so? Or am I misunderstanding you again?
no smoking underwater, because it might burn up the underwater basket weaving that’s going on…
Not to worry Minnesotans, I think some natural laws already cover this burning issue. Not now, not in the future, or in the past, will underwater smoking plague your “beautiful” state.
Well i was going too burn all of minnesota’s water but not that its illegal i guess i can’t.
you know it makes me glad to see law enforcement officers really cracking down on the laws of PHYSICS ~_-
this law is for the mafia, you just can’t smoke people underwater
HAHAHAH MINNESOTA! yes…dang no underwater smoking??? already did it :0
Maybe they mean underwater blowjob ?
Hey we like our water like our resturants. Tho that defys the laws of physics XD
