No one. In fact we’d be considerably happier if we hadn’t seen you. Sort your post out:
Step 1. Turn off caps lock
Step 2. Use a preposition
Step 3. Actually, just don’t post at all.
hehehe… my old band had one of those – hand made though – on the back of our trailer.
One day on the highway a convertible Mercedes went speeding by us – two attractive young things – with the driver holding the horn down as they passed us, both of them smiling.

I vaguely remember my oldest brother saying it was hilarious, but I was way too young to see it. It might have warped my innocent young mind, and turned me into a deranged maladjusted adult who frequently strips naked on public blogs.
Yet again someone here shows me how I have missed another good movie. I think it was K or Avis I have to thank for showing me the way to “Blazing Saddles”. LMAO!
See! I rest my case. There are crazy people here like Napoleon who think that Gracie is talking to him because she looked in his direction. They have split personalities like Arthur and such too.
Me? I’m normal….I just live in my own little world, but that’s ok because they know me there.
Maybe I shouldn’t reveal this (although it’s info publicly available on the Web), but if you really like his voice, he’s the vice-chair of the Board of Selectmen for his home town in VT. I wonder if people go to the meetings just to hear him speak?
hahahaha, I had a dream I did that same thing (without breaking the lamp post) last night. How funny….I forgot about it until I started watching it and it made me remember my dream. The funniest part, was I couldn’t do it one way in my dream because it was left-handed but I could do it the other way, which was right-handed in my dream….
It would have been much more clearer if you set up the fact that you were parodying some group first. Now that I get it I wouldn’t have directed my comment at you but made it more general.
I’m leaning strongly toward “People Who Can Wear Chartreuse and Mauve-Striped Jackets and Still Look Dead Sexy and of Whom the World is Not Worthy (Plus They’re Generally Fabulous)”.
I don’t think that would help. They already instituted something similar, and nobody cares about it. I guess that’s because they don’t make it mandatory.
Realize it could backfire. The mentality of the average youtube poster would likely enjoy having their inane diatribe vocalized back to them. It would make them feel – something. Something other than the fear that their mommies will catch them using her computer without permission again.
Oh, and they could just turn down or mute the volume so she couldn’t hear it.
nightshayde, it’s hard to have a global force of worker bees if they’re educated, think logically, know how to communicate, and know their history. Hence, the dumbing down of America.
I agree. But America was too educated, and people used to know history (and you know what they say about those who don’t know history). And the plan is definitely global, so America needed to be brought down or those pesky freedom-loving Americans would never have put up with what’s coming.

Just popping back in to say hi. Hi!
And have any of you guys been to peopleofwallmart (dot) com yet? No? Then go! But keep the eye bleach handy. It’s totally work safe, but SCARY!!
I finally made it through all the pages (there are only 6 or 7) and OH MY GOD is it disturbing! The one titled “Thank God I Live In America” or something like that is the worst of them. You’ll know it when you see it. The caption uses the word “delicious”. It is by no means a word I would have used in reference to that particular picture.
Try to clickie if you couldn’t view Avis link. Believe me, if it works for you you won’t want to thank me….unless you like the stripper one as much as I do.
Thanks for that, it’s amazing how one little extra ‘l’ can make such a difference. I should have known how to fix it, but:
1. It was a real site, not a 404
AND
2. What can I say, I’m brain-dead.
You failed to design it so that it could hold up a full sized man trying to hang off of it horizontally, but you succeeded at making it look like a real lamp post and that’s the most important thing in art. In fact, it was convincing enough to sucker our test moron into trying to hang off of it horizontally.
Actually, no — not censorship (well – not in this case, anyway). Just something that would let each user see/not see posts from other users. Facebook has such a thing, as do some message boards.
I’m all for TPTB (the powers that be) banning people for making sexist/racist/homophobic/etc… comments. I don’t think people should (necessarily) be banned for merely being annoying or socially inept. What annoys one person may well amuse another & I’m ok with that.
‘Zackly. No one is saying annoying people can’t post. Just that it would be really great if there were a way to block their posts from my own Failblog experience.
The only problem with un-seeing a single person’s comments is when others aren’t ignoring them. A lot of things would start to look out of context. Kind of like when people reply to their own moderated comment and a terrible nesting fail occurs. Noone really knows what’s going on or who’s talking to whom.
Still working, but in a good mood. As soon as I finish the work I need to do, my five-day weekend begins. I’m going to a scrapbooking retreat for a couple of nights — very much looking forward to it.
Oh, goodness, no. I’ve got my priorities straight! I do the minimum I can at work, and put all my good effort into school. ‘S the only way to do it. I’m just starting to lose out on lots of sleepy-time.
I hope your retreat goes well! I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun.
Nightshayde: *SNORK!* Yesterday, the PITA student actually asked me this question:
“So…can I break up my thesis sentences with other sentences that aren’t related to the thesis?”
Me: “…Um, why would you have unrelated sentences in your thesis?”
Him: “Well, not unrelated, but sentences that the reader wouldn’t understand. You know, until later, when you explained them.”
Me: “Well, that would be an organizational problem. You don’t ever want to confuse your reader, so you need to organize your sentences so they create a logical progression of information.”
Him: “So…you’re saying that I can’t break up my argument with other sentences, then? Even if the reader might be able to figure out what I mean by them?”
Me (Being very careful not to sound exasperated or condescending): “The bottom line is this…it isn’t your reader’s responsibility to figure out what you are trying to say. It is YOUR responsibility as a writer to communicate your ideas and claims clearly to the reader. So no…don’t put in anything that will confuse your reader.”
I used to be a CM consultant!! I have enough stuff to last the rest of my life!! We should have a scrapbooking party here … Road trip to Chicago anyone?
DW — does he think he is a creative writing class and is trying to write a mystery??? LOL – I know all about trying to talk to someone without conveying that you think they are hmmm less than intelligent. I am not sure I could teach.
My brother teaches physics – he loves the students that come to his office and ask “So, what can I do to raise my grade?” And then flee when he pulls out extra-credit problems. He does not even want to know what they were expecting him to offer.
I definitely need to visit Chicago one of these years, EM. Among other things, my husband and I simply NEED to see a baseball game in each of the stadia… and I want to visit the Museum of Science and Industry… and I know there’s amazing food to be had.
Maybe you could use some of your CM stuff to make an amazing tribute album.
Jazz (my 16 mos old Springer Spaniel) thinks he is a mountain goat. He is running all over the house following the trails the cats have left, even it means climbing the back of the couch and perching on the top of cabinets … *sigh*
He has never fully uinderstood why there is a difference between the floor and any other flat surface he can physically get to.
Probably not — but it is still funny to look over and see him perched on the top of something where his feet barely fit. Goofy thing! And you can’t block him — he sees all barriers and just a new fun puzzle to solve. When he figures it out he is very proud and usually comes to tell me — or show me what he found … *Hey mom — look I got that thingy you hid in the boig puzzle!*
I know I’m kinda late, so I’ll just add that the YouTube video on FailBlog offices was very enlightening.
BTW, do we still do the office thing here in the community?
This is not a lampost fail. The torsional stress placed upon the lampost exceeded its design limits, as it was not designed to resist the stress of this scenario. The lampost was clearly abused by the person in the video, who intentionally and recklessly excceeded the torsional strees of the lampoost.
not light enough …
… now there won’t be enough light.
Physics, do your thang!
Say buddy, you got a light?
Sorry, I don’t.

Emp – would you enlighten us on the pool construction project?
Judy – Emp’s house was hit by a tornado and I am sure the pool project has been put off for now (sadly).
OMG! I’m so sorry to hear about that! I feel embarrassed for asking about something so relatively insignificant now as a pool.
They can just be thankful that none of them were swept to the land of Oz. A tornado would be terrifying. I’m glad I don’t live in a tornado-prone area.

I have often thought that if I knew everything I would know enough to not to let anyone to know.
(So I either am a great actress or I don’t have this problem)
I think that if I knew everything, I would lose the will to live. What would be the point?
Food. Food would be the point.
That, and the company of good friends.
Two very strong arguments NS.
Teach. Surely not everyone would know everyting – so you could teach (and eat too of course – I agree with NS food, family and friends)
I wonder if that is how the christian God would feel – this is so boring *checks watch* or would it be like watching your favorite movie… again?
Would it be all of his everything or only all of our everything?

CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS IN TROUBLE!!
I remember it being a high-larious movie, but do keep in mind that was at least 25 years ago.
32 in fact, 3 years before Zucker, Zucker & Abrahams put out Airplane!
I MEANT 25 years since I saw it.
I’m pretty sure my parents wouldn’t have let me go see it when I was seven. :p
It’s definitely not child friendly. I only get to watch it when my girls aren’t home. Still had to own it, though.
I vaguely remember my oldest brother saying it was hilarious, but I was way too young to see it. It might have warped my innocent young mind, and turned me into a deranged maladjusted adult who frequently strips naked on public blogs.
Hmmmmm. Are you sure you never watched it?
And just what are you implying?? Hmmm?

Sorry, I was just trying to be helpful, and point out it was made by the guys who made Airplane!.

I’ve gotta rent that one!
See if you can find Amazon Women on the Moon, too. It’s just as funny! I own KFM, but I still need to find Amazon Women.

I wish there was a District 9 poster nearby: Lamp Post for Humans Only.
Maybe there was, and he took it too literally.
Maybe it was the post taker from the post fail.
Aculley I Saw This Bus And On It It Said BUS FOR HUMANS ONLY! it Was FUNNY!
headlines read, “Escapee from mental health facility, fancies himself a Monkey, rampages park”
The headlines read that? Wow… smart newspaper.
Smarter than Vancouver’s “24 Hours”.
The breaking lamppost caught me off guard like a bolt from the blue.
That was Post-apocalyptic.
They should bar this from ever happening again.
I think we should take a pole first. Get everybody else’s opinion.

The funniest part, was I couldn’t do it one way in my dream because it was left-handed but I could do it the other way, which was right-handed in my dream….
The pole… was left-handed…
Whadufah?
All poles are left-handed…..geeez, get with the program.
Chiral pole. Perhaps boootothat is a mathematician, or is currently taking a course in organic chemistry ???
Maybe he’s the guy in the video…his comment has a heavy-handedness to it.
I believe you’re right! What made him think he could pull this off?
He was little light headed.

Unless you’re just trying to get a workout, I fear you’re wasting your time.
Well, she may be doing it for her own catharsis.
That’s a worse post than the ones on YouTube.
Oh, *snap!*
Yup, that’s what the pole did.
Exactly. Also, america sucks your all so stupid and arrogant therefore were better then u!
No america doesnt suck we saved u in ww2 and can nuke you evan tho we r ur allys USA!

Excuse me???
This is going off the rails.

OK, I should have read further before posting.
I’ve seen dumber posts. See above.
Never confuse weakness with stupidity.
Whoa! I thought only the pole snapped.
Was I that convincing?
TOO convincing, in my opinion. My brain almost exploded reading that comment.
It pained me so much to write it…
Please, you don’t need to do this to yourself. Now, sit down, and have a cup of tea.
Sorry, I don’t drink tea. I’m American, I don’t know how to make it right.
Fine, then.
*swaps tea for coffee*
Now, tell us what made you do it.
I was on YouTube earlier today and needed an outlet to mock the commenters and expose them for the mental retards they really are.
And in the process, it looks like I brought the judgmental types on this site crashing down on me.
You need to set your parody bit when you do that.
Well, they didn’t know you when you were a part of Grammarian’s Corner, so it’s not all that surprising, really.
I don’t blame them. That was a year ago. How long is that in Internets-time?
Eighty bazillion.
…Or 42, I can never remember.
It would have been much more clearer if you set up the fact that you were parodying some group first. Now that I get it I wouldn’t have directed my comment at you but made it more general.
You’re right. Sorry. Sometimes I have a tendency to assume that others can tell what I’m thinking about.
Join the club, we’ve got jackets.
Ooh! Ooh! I want a jacket! I want a jacket! What color are they?
*jumps up and down excitedly*
Chartreuse with mauve stripes. I went with the lowest bidder.
… I think I could pull off chartreuse.
*eyes jacket*
O.o
o.O
I think it’ll clash with my balloon reflections, but I’ll try it anyway.
*tries jacket on*
How do I look?
*whistles*
Sexy.
*takes jacket off hanger*
*festoons jacket with a myriad o’ brass baubles and ribbons*
Count me in.
Like an off-color watermelon. *thumbs up*
Same here.
*walks down runway wearing chartreuse jacket and strutting his stuff*
Well, the “People Who’ve Misjudged Me Club” jacket is rather slimming.
Slimming? Count me in, too.
That’s the name of the club? Can we change it to People Who Wear Chartreuse with Mauve Striped Jackets?
Or perhaps “People Who Can Wear Chartreuse and Mauve-Striped Jackets and Still Look Dead Sexy”.
*continues strutting stuff*
That works, too.
*struts stuff next to Shadow*
I’m leaning strongly toward “People Who Can Wear Chartreuse and Mauve-Striped Jackets and Still Look Dead Sexy and of Whom the World is Not Worthy (Plus They’re Generally Fabulous)”.
I think we have a winner.
PWCWCMSJSLDSWWNW(PTGF) it is, then.
Amazing. It just rolls off the tongue.
Hooray!! *squeezes everybody*
That’s gonna cost a fortune in embroidery, though.
Who cares? We’re fabulous, and dead sexy. We deserve it.
Who’s dead sexy? ZA?
Hey that acronym actually looks like a word in Welsh!
Can I get my jacket with the arms tied around the back? Those are so comfy. It’s like you’re always giving yourself a squeeze.
One jacket, super long sleeves, extra buckles and zippers, and stain resistant coating. Check.
*Dons Jacket*
*Struts stuff.*
This jacket is cool, let just create a jean model.
Too bad the educational system has apparently failed.

Did you not catch that I was parodying your average Youtube comment?
Nope I don’t read Youtube comments. Not until this gets invented.
http:// xkcd.com/481/
*snorkroffle!*
I don’t think that would help. They already instituted something similar, and nobody cares about it. I guess that’s because they don’t make it mandatory.
The virus would make it pretty mandatory.
Realize it could backfire. The mentality of the average youtube poster would likely enjoy having their inane diatribe vocalized back to them. It would make them feel – something. Something other than the fear that their mommies will catch them using her computer without permission again.
Oh, and they could just turn down or mute the volume so she couldn’t hear it.
ROFL! Nicely put!
Not sure if that would be enough for most…
*hefts shellacked mackrel*
Nope. I think I’ve only looked at YouTube three or four times, and have never read comments there.
I have, you aren’t missing anything.
I’ve only looked at YouTube three or four times today and still don’t read the comments. You are correct, very depressing.
nightshayde, it’s hard to have a global force of worker bees if they’re educated, think logically, know how to communicate, and know their history. Hence, the dumbing down of America.
I weep along with you.
I agree. But America was too educated, and people used to know history (and you know what they say about those who don’t know history). And the plan is definitely global, so America needed to be brought down or those pesky freedom-loving Americans would never have put up with what’s coming.
Ah well. It WAS a nice ride while it lasted.
I would counter that, but can’t find any logical basis to do so. Curse my public-school education!
LOL
Well, here’s to bread and circuses!
*raises a glass*
Can we have shiny, sparkly, thingys also?
From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs.
Ahem.
What about the “hers” around here??
Them too
I don’t think that was part of the manifesto. Crazy communists!
To free, rational thought! We shall carry on your legacy! You shall not have died in vain!
Then you shall not have been mortally wounded in vain!
Saw it coming, lol’d anyhow.
Wha?
They dont make lamposts like they used to
see kids, this is what happens when you mistake the sound of FIBERGLASS for metal and try to hang from the object.
I hope he cut himself on the glass lenses
almols week end woo hoo
I bet he had been playing with the pole dancing doll too long … so that is a irrepairable damage (that the lamp post had to suffer
)
Should’ve paid attention to the fact that the light bulb over his head was burned out…

And to think this guy owns the site.
I would venture to say that is the only thing he/she owns.
No, he owns end. He said so himself.
*invokes his power of disbelief*
He doesn’t look like a site owner. Besides, if he really owned this site wouldn’t he be able to afford a keyboard where the ‘l’ key doesn’t stick?

Here is a very appropriate xkcd comic.
*clickie*
When did the city council start contracting Hobby Lobby for public utilities?
Hmm… that explains the HO-scale subways.
If you are a city official you will want to hunt this moron down for a vandalism charge and payment for the damages….
hope they get’em.
Alternatively, if you’re a flying monkey you will want to fly around and around this maroon while the Wicked Witch cackles “…and your little lamp post too!” from a high altitude.
If you are a dove you would be angry that your favorite place to sit was destroyed. You would probably shit on that guy.
Watt does he think he’s doing?
Seriously. :[
We are very serious. :[

Just popping back in to say hi. Hi!
And have any of you guys been to peopleofwallmart (dot) com yet? No? Then go! But keep the eye bleach handy. It’s totally work safe, but SCARY!!
I tried earlier, apparently there is too many people trying to hit the site that it crashed the internets.
…are so many people…
See, I told you I needed a frosty beverage.
*steals root beer from Brewski*
Here ya go.
ummmm, do you have anything with a little less root and more beer?
*extracts root*
Here you go. Pure root. Pure beer. Light up and drink.
Well, its gota taste better than Milwaukee.
*drinks*
Hey…I grew up in Milwaukee.
I was born in Milwaukee (Oregon).
I finally made it through all the pages (there are only 6 or 7) and OH MY GOD is it disturbing! The one titled “Thank God I Live In America” or something like that is the worst of them. You’ll know it when you see it. The caption uses the word “delicious”. It is by no means a word I would have used in reference to that particular picture.
Aaahhh! Someone pass the mentalfloss!
I’d be happy to!!
(forgot to say “clickie!” ^^^)
I hope I don’t bump any strings doing this.
Try to clickie if you couldn’t view Avis link. Believe me, if it works for you you won’t want to thank me….unless you like the stripper one as much as I do.
Thanks for that, it’s amazing how one little extra ‘l’ can make such a difference. I should have known how to fix it, but:
1. It was a real site, not a 404
AND
2. What can I say, I’m brain-dead.
I love that sites icon.
;(
I didn’t link to it, I merely suggested you go to the site! :p
I’m hooked… I’m also terrified! What is with these people?
*shakes head in disbelief*
Pimpin ain’t easy at the walmart.
OMG.

It appears our math doesn’t agree.
But then, math is only a matter of opinion.
*snickers*
I wish my math teachers would have agreed with Verizon.

You’d think the emperor of France wouldn’t care about his math teachers.
Teehee!

No choking on that 1 now!
He obviously thought before doing that ‘I fil-a-ment al episode coming on’
Now that is NOT what I call “Hang Time”
LOL hangin
Am I the only one or right before crashing, he let out a fart?
No, I heard that one too. He farted.
HEY! THAT WAS MY SCHOOL ART PROJECT! I MADE A REALISTIC LAMP POST!
Hmmm.
You failed to design it so that it could hold up a full sized man trying to hang off of it horizontally, but you succeeded at making it look like a real lamp post and that’s the most important thing in art. In fact, it was convincing enough to sucker our test moron into trying to hang off of it horizontally.
A-
NICELY DONE!
Thank you.
*squeeze*
*smells smoke*
Awww, ZA — you borked my sarcasm detector.
I really hope I can find a new one this close to a three-day-weekend.
*sigh*
ZA posted a circular link!!! Arghhh….. can’t get away!
Well, we already knew you were loopy.
*hands Elsa_Mama a drink*
*Grabs drink – uses leverage to pull out of the loop* Thanks DW — sorry for spilling that on you … whatg was it anyway?
*asks nicely*Can I have a drink?
Sorry — I spilled it pulling out of the clicky loop …
Thats ok. *takes the drink* Thank you.
*squeeze*
What kind of drink was it?
I got some pop.
Ohh sorry there Qwaz — it will grow back — next month??
*I moved up a “reply” to try to bring on down — did it work??*
*sigh*
It would be really nice to have something on here that allowed you to not see posts from specific people.
Really nice. Especially at this hour.
Hey DW — is that the drink you were handing me? Or, did STS CCC lick up someone else’s drink???
Nightshade!! Are you advocating *gasp* censorship??? LOL …. I have mixed feeling about the triple C …
It would be really, really, really nice, nightshayde.
And Elsa_Mama, I have your very own drinkie refill right here…and anyone who tries to take it will have to deal with the *FOOOOOM!!*
Actually, no — not censorship (well – not in this case, anyway). Just something that would let each user see/not see posts from other users. Facebook has such a thing, as do some message boards.
I’m all for TPTB (the powers that be) banning people for making sexist/racist/homophobic/etc… comments. I don’t think people should (necessarily) be banned for merely being annoying or socially inept. What annoys one person may well amuse another & I’m ok with that.
Yum!! My favorite drinkie — tank and jeeps DW… *slurp* (I love straws) … that hit the spot!!
Yeah, the masking tape I’m using has some drawbacks.
*MMPH!*
‘Zackly. No one is saying annoying people can’t post. Just that it would be really great if there were a way to block their posts from my own Failblog experience.
And there’s more where that came from, Elsa_Mama!
The only problem with un-seeing a single person’s comments is when others aren’t ignoring them. A lot of things would start to look out of context. Kind of like when people reply to their own moderated comment and a terrible nesting fail occurs. Noone really knows what’s going on or who’s talking to whom.
*snerk*
you could try white-out …
I’m willing to take that risk, Chan.
Welcome, Admiral & Qwaz & Chan!
*squeezes to those who just entered*
*gives a round of squeezes to failfriends*
Yea — I think I am going to need it tomorrow …
*squeezies!*
Um AA… did you tape Qwaz’s mouth by mistake???
That would probably be his parents doing.
*Rips tape off*
GAH! What little facial hair I had… Gone!
Just wondering since his “MMPM” was after you were taping the screen ….
Ohh sorry there Qwaz — it will grow back — next month??
*I moved up a “reply” to try to bring on down — did it work??*
NOPE — didn’t oh well!
*Squeezes for all failpeople still hanging around this evening*
How is everyone?
Still working, but in a good mood. As soon as I finish the work I need to do, my five-day weekend begins.
I’m going to a scrapbooking retreat for a couple of nights — very much looking forward to it.
How are you tonight, Chan?
I have not been on a scrapbooking weekend in ages!! Is it Creative Memories or something else? Have a great time!
Ooh, have fun nightshayde! My long weekend starts at about 2pm tomorrow…wheeeeee!
Very cool. A scrapbooking retreat sounds awesome.
*Jealous of all the people with long weekends*
I’m wiped but good. This whole school-then-work thing takes a toll!
Yes, E_M — it’s Creative Memories. I love all the toys!
DW — is the obnoxious student still being a pain in your scales?
Chan — yup … school + full-time work can be awfully challenging. Don’t work yourself too hard!
Oh, goodness, no. I’ve got my priorities straight! I do the minimum I can at work, and put all my good effort into school.
‘S the only way to do it. I’m just starting to lose out on lots of sleepy-time.
I hope your retreat goes well! I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun.
Nightshayde: *SNORK!* Yesterday, the PITA student actually asked me this question:
“So…can I break up my thesis sentences with other sentences that aren’t related to the thesis?”
Me: “…Um, why would you have unrelated sentences in your thesis?”
Him: “Well, not unrelated, but sentences that the reader wouldn’t understand. You know, until later, when you explained them.”
Me: “Well, that would be an organizational problem. You don’t ever want to confuse your reader, so you need to organize your sentences so they create a logical progression of information.”
Him: “So…you’re saying that I can’t break up my argument with other sentences, then? Even if the reader might be able to figure out what I mean by them?”
Me (Being very careful not to sound exasperated or condescending): “The bottom line is this…it isn’t your reader’s responsibility to figure out what you are trying to say. It is YOUR responsibility as a writer to communicate your ideas and claims clearly to the reader. So no…don’t put in anything that will confuse your reader.”
Him: “Okay!”
Lol!
Sounds like he’s trying to play “deep, mysterious, and intelligent”, and coming off as “pretentious and irritating” instead…
I used to be a CM consultant!! I have enough stuff to last the rest of my life!! We should have a scrapbooking party here … Road trip to Chicago anyone?
LOL! Good description, Chan … and nice job not *FOOMing* the guy, DW.
DW — does he think he is a creative writing class and is trying to write a mystery??? LOL – I know all about trying to talk to someone without conveying that you think they are hmmm less than intelligent. I am not sure I could teach.
My brother teaches physics – he loves the students that come to his office and ask “So, what can I do to raise my grade?” And then flee when he pulls out extra-credit problems. He does not even want to know what they were expecting him to offer.
I definitely need to visit Chicago one of these years, EM. Among other things, my husband and I simply NEED to see a baseball game in each of the stadia… and I want to visit the Museum of Science and Industry… and I know there’s amazing food to be had.
Maybe you could use some of your CM stuff to make an amazing tribute album.
*MEGA-SQUEEZE*
Just ’cause.
MEGA SMOOOCHES — cuz you are you!!

Jazz (my 16 mos old Springer Spaniel) thinks he is a mountain goat. He is running all over the house following the trails the cats have left, even it means climbing the back of the couch and perching on the top of cabinets … *sigh*
He has never fully uinderstood why there is a difference between the floor and any other flat surface he can physically get to.
Is there a difference?
My cats don’t think so. Neither does my child, come to think of it.
Probably not — but it is still funny to look over and see him perched on the top of something where his feet barely fit. Goofy thing! And you can’t block him — he sees all barriers and just a new fun puzzle to solve. When he figures it out he is very proud and usually comes to tell me — or show me what he found … *Hey mom — look I got that thingy you hid in the boig puzzle!*
Please give Jazzy a skritch behind the ears (if he likes that) from cyber-Auntie Nightshayde!
Jazzy likes EVERYTHING!! He is the happiest creature on the face of the earth! Everything is fun or can be made to be fun …
Surprisingly it can be a little annoying sometimes (but never for very long)

G-O-O-D Evening everyone!

That was a fail just WAITING to happen.
That was a fail just READY to happen.
The fail that was ready to happen.
Completely OT…
Isn’t he awesome?
Great stuff, it reminds me a little of The Killers.
errr its called GRAVITY!!!
That was a bright Idea !
En-light-ening.
That was too risky you know. That guy is too strong like Hercules for breaking up the lamp post. He might learn the law of gravity there.
*makes note of it*
I would like to see a video of him doing that with a pole that can handle it (not meant to be dirty).
“your never going to be a flag, you aren’t light enough!”
*guys falls*
I know I’m kinda late, so I’ll just add that the YouTube video on FailBlog offices was very enlightening.
BTW, do we still do the office thing here in the community?
*slept for hours wakes up to the sound of the guy falling* Hey. How are you doing?
Random, Obscure video time.
I miss this movie. After taking a baseball bat to my VHS I want to buy a new one simply because of this clip.
Well that was a bright idea.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!
Pigs can’t fly!
This is not a lampost fail. The torsional stress placed upon the lampost exceeded its design limits, as it was not designed to resist the stress of this scenario. The lampost was clearly abused by the person in the video, who intentionally and recklessly excceeded the torsional strees of the lampoost.
Comment Fail
Lamp post fail…. or Vandalism Win?
LOL… N00B
Is this guy looking for work? We have way too many lights near our observatory that could use this treatment.
when did jackie chan go viral?
Poor lamppost! Is it okay? SOMEONE DO CPR NOW!! HURRY, I can see the light going out of it!
Why did this guy do that anyway? What was he trying to accomplish in the first place? or is that also part of the fail?
