If you look at the picture of the video that they show before it actually plays, it looks like they might’ve done something like this on the other side of the box stack. I wonder if they did a different character…
See what you want to see
do you know Rorschach? Poor Blind american wealthy boys, open your mind guineas pig, your history is a guineas pig experiment since 17th
Our grocery stores don’t have the floor (or wall) space for a display that big. Of course I go to the smaller places, with Whole Foods being the grand exception.
Midnight shift was told to stop making out in the cooler at night and do something useful with the product. What would you do at 3 AM in a grocery store?
@Arthur: I would like to exchange email addresses. I guess you’re not on Facebook anymore. Dragon has it, among others. Can you drop me a note sometime? I want to start a torrid online love affair with you.
Oh yeah, I forgot the serious answer: No, I left Facebook. It was driving me crazy with its slooooooooooooooooow uploading. But I’ll ask one last time: Why don’t you come to MS? You can keep the profile private, no need to interact with 15 year old idiots. You can also keep your Facebook account. And you will meet about 20 failfriends there…
@jam: Hey sexy mama, want some hot action?
@arthur: I still would like an email, but if you’d rather not, I’m cool with that. I’ll look into myspace. I just joined facebook, and it’s already almost more than I can keep up with. I think because everybody I knew in high school is friending me. They keep rolling in.
Oh, and that wasn’t just a one-night stand! It was special!
I saw your pics Jam! Nice. I just got back from Miami myself!
Arthur, Dragon can give you my email. Just sign the Non-Disclosure-Agreement in triplicate, get it notarized, and send 2 originals to me by private courier.
Apparently Dragon cannot give me your email, because I don’t receive her mails. It’s about time for a GRRRR and some fist shaking.
*shakes fist at internet*
Arthur, could you try emailing me again? Maybe I’ll have better luck replying to a different email…my computer might have corrupted the first one you sent.
(You know what a bad influence I am…mwuahahahahaaaa!)
O hai. Here Brewski, you left your pants on my Wall. Again.
(FailBloggers are infiltrating my Facebook friends list! Brewski, DW, the Admiral and a few others can set up an introduction. Not to worry, your shinys are safe with me.)
*Wanders in*
Um, brew, you can (I would like to change this to can you?) narc me off Facebook from Jenny or Ms b. Malcite even if he ever comes back here.
Not to dilute the meaning of friend or anything, its up to you in the end.
Hey Emp! That’s cool. I’m hoping things will quiet down a notch at work next week, so I can get paid to get my Facebook in order! You can probably find me too if you poke around.
*squeeze*
When I lived out there, my friends and I would go up to a guy’s property outside of Astoria. We would each give him $30 and he would give us grocery bags and let us wander around his property and take as much as we could fit in the bag. The problem is we would eat them while we were there and wander aimlessly for what seemed like days. Oh the good old days. BTW, just say no to drugs!!
Here I am.
*eats a few slices of pizza*
Hey Brewski, did you always look like Malcom McDowell in A Clockwork Orange? Excuse me, I have to poop for an hour or so. Quit looking at me Swan.
Hmm… tried sauté and deep fried, but didn’t do the garlic… Interesting thought, thanks. (Plus this was entirely new grounds for me so I may or may not have prepared them properly anyways. Flour breading a good idea?)
I wouldn’t do that to mushrooms that cost in excess of $50 a pound!
Where did you purchase you morels? Next spring, find a farmers market or a really good green-grocer, get them as fresh as possible. Whatever you do, don’t get the dehydrated things!
Farmer’s market $20 per pound, that wasn’t the farmer’s normal crop they just grow here. I was sure to pull out a classification guide to make sure what they should look like too. Dehydrated mushrooms… Bizarre concept really. So just washed in salt water and straight into the pan after drying?
Yeah, with morels you have to, they tend to get very gritty.
I wish they could be farmed more easily. I have heard of farmed morels, but they just don’t taste the same. I’ve never actually seen them in the store, but I once read about a guy that successfully cultivated them.
Last time I was in Whole Foods they were $40 a pound (!!)
I once found a bunch of morels in my landscaping behind my house. They never have popped up again since, however.
I got some at Whole Foods right before they hit the farmers markets here this year, just a small box. That box was $14, and only held about 5oz. That comes to $70 a pound!!!!!!
They were cheaper (not by much) at the farmers markets later.
Uh… If my math is correct and I’m not makin a total idiot of myself, it should be a tad less since a pound is 16oz. It would be $44.80 (this is again if i’m not suffering from early morning idiot syndrome)
Oops, that may explain the water taste. Really they were fresh from the ground and there were even a couple ‘hitchhikers’ until I cleaned them though. Soaking was what the internet told me to do to clean and disinfect. Still a thorough scrubbing plus cooking might do it. Thanks much
Actually …. mushrooms soaking up water is one of those food myths. Alton Brown did a show on food myths and this was one of them.. He weighed three groups of mushrooms. Cleaned one w/ a brush; one under running water and one was soaked. The brush and running water groups did not increase in weight. The soaked ones gains a tiny amount …
So, for the leanest mushrooms – clean under running water toget out all the dirt (or worse since many mushrooms are grown on animal sh%t)
You can’t find morels in a “crop”. They have to foraged. You can find them in wooded areas, usually near a dead or dying oak (I think). But yeah, just wash them (salt water?) and cook ‘em. I would let the butter melt first, but that’s me. And where do you live that they’re only $20 a pound? I WISH I could have found them so cheap!
Iowa, plenty of places for them to grow here I’m told. So I did mess them up basically, but thanks for the tips. Now I just need to find that booth again next year. (actually there were 2 or 3 with morels this year, 20-35 dollars per pound was what I found. Here’s hoping they don’t get wise )
Suzie, I like to give the Failers of any area I’m visiting a heads up anyway, give them a chance to make other plans. Not that I’ve been anywhere recently.
Um… yeah, don’t risk life an limb to visit me while I’m visiting my insane family! They’ll try to convert you. And then you’d hate me for subjecting you to that! One of these days I’m moving to NM so, visiting should be much easier to work out!
I see you’re nomming 1% of the comments. Is that ’cause you think you’re fat? ‘Cause you’re not. But you could be nomming whole trolls if you wanted to.
It would be even funnier if, as people took out the blue and red boxes that make up his clothes, the person(s) who stocked the shelves replaced them with Mug root beer boxes so it looked like Mario was slowly becoming nekkid.
I’ll get some re mushrooms. *goes to forest* Holy Crap! There are walking scary looking mushrooms! What’s this there are turtles walking on to feet (what the H*ll are there turtles in a forest for!)
*gets attack by Goomba* HELP!
It’s a sweet thought Abstract, but then I’d be a lie. There is no cure for rigor mortis and that has pretty much taken my life away. Without a life, I’m just the walking undead.
That said, my drug dealer has found something that
allows me to ignore my rigor mortis, but in doing so
he's turned me into a needle junkie. Question yourself
if you care to probe further into my personal hell.
Hi guys
Failblog has built up a specific culture over the last year. It’s built on affection, intelligent and witty banter, and thoughtful conversation. There are a lot of people here who come here for this very reason.
You guys are having fun, and that’s awesome. But please tone it down a bit, and try to stay true to the culture we’ve established here. It detracts from the fun for the rest of the group when you spam the board like this.
I’m not the failblog cop, I’m just trying to be helpful. We always welcome friendly newcomers who attempt to fit in with the community.
Thanks.
Let’s give ‘em a chance first. We can point to these posts to make sure they see them. They haven’t really violated any official policy, just etiquette.
Time outs and children being sent to their rooms away from the grown-ups is a very well-established form of behavior modification. And I am THIS CLOSE *holds thumb and forefinger a millimeter apart* to trying it.
Except I’ve seen how banning a mildly annoying user for a couple of days can piss him/her off enough to turn him/her into a full-blown troll. We do NOT need another one of those.
I don’t think anyone would have any problems if you created threads of your own and played on them. But you continually interrupt other people’s conversations, derail pun-runs, and spam your comments all over the blog. This is incredibly annoying.
Talking is fine…go ahead and talk. But you should create your own space in which to do so and not disrupt what other people are doing. Fair enough?
Of course “as far as you’re concerned” you’re not bothering anyone. Unfortunately, you aren’t the only one concerned here. If you want to have those conversations, try one of the lesser filled sister-sites. Like Engrish, or Lol-celebs, any of the ones that don’t get the volume of traffic that this site gets.
Look, the point is, failinator, you are treating this comments section like your own personal chat room. You continually barge into people’s conversations, completely go off topic and generally fill this forum with grammatically incorrect spam. If you want to be integrated in our society here, I suggest you stop being so crude.
Andy Kaufman (RIP) used to do a routine where, after ten minutes or more of jokes (in his “Foreign Man” persona), if the audience then laughed before he had finished the next joke, he would say, “No, no, no! You must wait for the punch! I start over!” … and he did start over … the entire evening’s routine.
Wow… look at Mario… just… staring endlessly… at the mushroom…. That look he has… on his face… those menacing eyes… peering into the very heart and soul of the mushroom… the symbol of time and space itself… the cake is a lie… they… they’re going to get me…. They’re going to hurt me… the eyes…….
*colour returns to face*
*no longer has a blank stare*
Sorry, kinda lost myself there. What were we talking about?
The water… in such a fragile glass… glass breaks… it could break… at any moment… broken glass hurts… it can kill… glass will take over the world… with its power to kill… our world’s Kira… it will take only a few months… to destroy the human population… the end of the world as we know it… because of glass…………
*returns to normal again*
Sorry, I am just so TIRED today… What were you saying?
Pizza… it does nothing… but watch its brothers and sisters go away… to get eaten… by homicidal maniacs… and the pizza does nothing…. But maybe… it’s planning… for revenge… for all his siblings that have been killed… by us…. The world will be taken over… by Mario… glass… and pizza…..
he he. I was going to leave this one alone after I got my sarcasm out of the way. I guess it went too far out of the way for some people to even see it.
NO!!!! Don’t say it! They’ll hear you! That’s like…even worse than eating the chocolate statue of liberty! A day of infamy. Anyone who is in possession of a box, a can or even a drop of that soda should be flogged. I think they should be made into a permanent piece of art, a shrine to all that is full of awesome and goodness in our young lives.
1. This is such an epic win. (Combo of my favorite sodas and my favorite game!)
2. Let’s hope that no one adds pen!s sculptures to this.
3. That sign two fails ago? That’s in my school.

The person who did this display had better have had permission from Nintendo, Inc. or they are liable to be sued for damages related to unauthorized use of licensed images… Just sayin’…
If so, then yes this is epic WIN. If they didn’t get express permission to use the copyrighted “Mario” and “Mushroom” characters from Nintendo, then it is epic FAIL because they are liable to end up in the poor house.
Really? You need permission to advertise for other people? That in itself is FAIL. If I owned a company, and people put up giant Pepsi mosaics in its honor, I’d say “Cool!” not “Hey! You can’t do that! You need permission to use our image!”
Wow I can’t believe my video found its way onto FAILBLOG. The actual display took three of us from Pepsi 4 hours to build and we used 945 twelve packs of soda. I can post additional pics if anyone is interested.
Nope just that one but I am working on getting permission for a larger “Mario-ish” spread at another local grocery store. Probably nearer to Halloween.
Have you noticed the non-Pepsi product DR PEPPER!?!?! HOW COULD YOU MISTAKEN SOMETHING SO WONDERFUL AND DELICIOUS AS DR PEPPER AS A PEPSI PRODUCT?!?! THEY SHOULD BE SHOT!
At least we all know, by your proclaimation of superiority, that you are far more awesome than Mario lovers, and the rest of us are lower life forms. Thank you, Captain Douchebag, for the enlightenment. all of us nerds *99.9 percent of the population* will be over here, enjoying our lives without you. You can have that corner alone with your douchebaggery, and wait for us nerds to invent the internet, computers, cell phones, you know, the things that you cannot live without. Sorry for breathing your air.
Drink the green mushroom for eternal life!

Hey guys, I just called the Rohnert Park Safeway yesterday in a attempt to go visit this awsomeness BUT ended up being a EPIC “FAIL.” Corporate told this Safeway to “Take it down” because it was Pepsi related!!! D<<< BUT the guy I talked to was cool enough to tell me to call back on monday and ask for the store manager to ask him to bring it back! So if enough people call they "MIGHT" bring it back!!! The store number is (707) 584-8942. CALL AND ASK FOR THIS AWSOMENESS TO RETURN!!!!!!
Just desire to say your article is as astonishing. The clearness for your post is simply great and that i could think you are an expert in this subject. Well together with your permission let me to seize your RSS feed to keep up to date with impending post. Thank you a million and please continue the rewarding work.

Awesome. The photo doesn’t really capture the whole thing.
If you look at the picture of the video that they show before it actually plays, it looks like they might’ve done something like this on the other side of the box stack. I wonder if they did a different character…
After I have had time to reflect on what you said, I think you are mistaken.

I think you need to reflect on the picture a little bit. After some reflection, you will see what the other side of the box stack really is.
In case you can’t figure it out, the other side of the stack is a reflection in a mirror.
its actually a window. i visited that safeway and they have an american flag made out of pepsi and dr.pepper now
C-C-C-Combo breaker!!

They always have wicked soda displays there.
They never had the awesome soda displays til recently. Grew up in the town and frequented this particular Safeway many occasions.

Really? How could it be inappropriate?? DM’s usually suck anyhow.
Geez, someone had a lot of time on their hands!
The local grocery stores here usually do something similar with soda boxes – “OSU” or “WVU” in football season.
Our grocery stores don’t have the floor (or wall) space for a display that big. Of course I go to the smaller places, with Whole Foods being the grand exception.
I’m in Columbus OH and our Kroger stores almost always have some sort of pop display for OSU using Coke and Diet Coke boxes.

You people are absolutely wonderful and I love you all. I very much needed a laugh, and you gave me one!
Oo! An email!
*runs to look*
@Arthur: I would like to exchange email addresses. I guess you’re not on Facebook anymore. Dragon has it, among others. Can you drop me a note sometime? I want to start a torrid online love affair with you.
Wow, Dragon, AA, Arthur and Starfish, all on at once?? Aaah, life is good!!
*squeezes all*
*snork @Brewski*
I thought we already had an affair? What was I – a one night stand?
*sobs*
Oh yeah, I forgot the serious answer: No, I left Facebook. It was driving me crazy with its slooooooooooooooooow uploading. But I’ll ask one last time: Why don’t you come to MS? You can keep the profile private, no need to interact with 15 year old idiots. You can also keep your Facebook account. And you will meet about 20 failfriends there…
Hahaha… Brewski, Arthur will let you keep the Facebook account. That’s nice of him. :p
It’s not so bad on Myspace, nobody asked me to swing this time. Always a bonus.
Plllbbbbt!
Teehee!
Arthur, there are not many people I would consider getting a MS account for…but you are one of them. I’ll think about it.

Oh, and that wasn’t just a one-night stand! It was special!
*double-sigh-o-relief*
Sorry Arthur, couldn’t resist it.
And again, I forgot something. No, Brewski, email is fine for me, I just don’t want to exchange it here – for obvious reasons.
You don’t want Brewski’s lurkers harassing you.
@Brewski: I just had some hot action. I’ve returned from Florida’s theme park heaven this week. HA!
*snork*
I saw your pics Jam! Nice. I just got back from Miami myself!
Arthur, Dragon can give you my email. Just sign the Non-Disclosure-Agreement in triplicate, get it notarized, and send 2 originals to me by private courier.

Same.
Though, I thought it was Pacman at first.
Dude… those mushrooms must’ve f*cked me up, man… everything looks like it’s made out of soda boxes…
sounds like you got a hold of some Super Mario brews
Well you know Mario, the best mushrooms are grown right there in Oregon, or so I’ve been told.
Yeah, actually, they are. I’ve seen them growing wild during walks through the forest.
When I lived out there, my friends and I would go up to a guy’s property outside of Astoria. We would each give him $30 and he would give us grocery bags and let us wander around his property and take as much as we could fit in the bag.

Mushrooms.
Unless we’re talking morels, I’m not a fan.
You know, maybe I just don’t cook them right but I can’t get morels to not taste like water. Advice?
Don’t boil them. Sautee them with butter and a tiny (I mean
bit of garlic. I put them in a light cream sauce (after sautee-ing them) over pasta. And only get them fresh. In season.
Hmm… tried sauté and deep fried, but didn’t do the garlic… Interesting thought, thanks. (Plus this was entirely new grounds for me so I may or may not have prepared them properly anyways. Flour breading a good idea?)
I wouldn’t do that to mushrooms that cost in excess of $50 a pound!
Where did you purchase you morels? Next spring, find a farmers market or a really good green-grocer, get them as fresh as possible. Whatever you do, don’t get the dehydrated things!
Farmer’s market $20 per pound, that wasn’t the farmer’s normal crop they just grow here. I was sure to pull out a classification guide to make sure what they should look like too. Dehydrated mushrooms… Bizarre concept really. So just washed in salt water and straight into the pan after drying?
Technically, you’re not supposed to wash mushrooms. They take on a bunch of water. You’re supposed to brush them clean.
I use a paper towel that is only the slightest bit damp for the stubborn spots.
That makes sense. I wash morels (well, rinse quickly) because they have all those nooks and crannies that collect dirt so easily.
Yeah, with morels you have to, they tend to get very gritty.
I wish they could be farmed more easily. I have heard of farmed morels, but they just don’t taste the same. I’ve never actually seen them in the store, but I once read about a guy that successfully cultivated them.
Last time I was in Whole Foods they were $40 a pound (!!)
I once found a bunch of morels in my landscaping behind my house. They never have popped up again since, however.
I got some at Whole Foods right before they hit the farmers markets here this year, just a small box. That box was $14, and only held about 5oz. That comes to $70 a pound!!!!!!
They were cheaper (not by much) at the farmers markets later.
Uh… If my math is correct and I’m not makin a total idiot of myself, it should be a tad less since a pound is 16oz. It would be $44.80 (this is again if i’m not suffering from early morning idiot syndrome)
Oops, that may explain the water taste. Really they were fresh from the ground and there were even a couple ‘hitchhikers’ until I cleaned them though. Soaking was what the internet told me to do to clean and disinfect. Still a thorough scrubbing plus cooking might do it. Thanks much
“Soaking”?!? Of course they’d be watery! They’re very absorbent. Whatever cooking site you got that advice from, you should stay away from it.
Actually …. mushrooms soaking up water is one of those food myths. Alton Brown did a show on food myths and this was one of them.. He weighed three groups of mushrooms. Cleaned one w/ a brush; one under running water and one was soaked. The brush and running water groups did not increase in weight. The soaked ones gains a tiny amount …
So, for the leanest mushrooms – clean under running water toget out all the dirt (or worse since many mushrooms are grown on animal sh%t)
:ick:
Just ruined mushrooms for me.
Every year I add “Mushroom Compost” to my garden — it is manure (cow usually) that has had a crop of mushrooms grown on it …
You can’t find morels in a “crop”. They have to foraged. You can find them in wooded areas, usually near a dead or dying oak (I think). But yeah, just wash them (salt water?) and cook ‘em. I would let the butter melt first, but that’s me. And where do you live that they’re only $20 a pound? I WISH I could have found them so cheap!
Iowa, plenty of places for them to grow here I’m told. So I did mess them up basically, but thanks for the tips. Now I just need to find that booth again next year. (actually there were 2 or 3 with morels this year, 20-35 dollars per pound was what I found. Here’s hoping they don’t get wise
)
*makes mental note to go Iowa next spring, just to get a boat-load of morels*
At least you won’t be low on moral.
*Ahem*
*facepalm* at Rian’s pun
Hehe it’s been a while
*squeeze*
Hey, Avis…let me know if you come out. You’ll be in my stomping grounds…
Btw, after you soak and dry the morels, the best way to eat them, in my opinion, is to put them in flour and fry them…yummy!!!
Suzie, I like to give the Failers of any area I’m visiting a heads up anyway, give them a chance to make other plans. Not that I’ve been anywhere recently.
Avis needs to come visit me. I’ll have my kitchen stocked!
Ms B ♥, there’s another new post up!
Where do you live again?
Utah. Please come feed me!
The closest I’ll be is in New Mexico this Christmas.
I’ll be in Grand Junction, CO next Christmas, are you at all near the CO border?
Not really. Horizontally I’m right in the middle, vertically closer to the top. Oh well, maybe I’ll make the drive…in the snow…and ice…or maybe not.
Um… yeah, don’t risk life an limb to visit me while I’m visiting my insane family! They’ll try to convert you. And then you’d hate me for subjecting you to that! One of these days I’m moving to NM so, visiting should be much easier to work out!
We’re talking about the ones that taste like sh*t (literally) and make the flowers on your bathroom wallpaper move.
Shittakke?
I remember those!!! They made the tie-dye wall hanging at a friends house really fun to watch! 14 years ago.
Yeah, it’s been about that long ago for me. Crazy college days.
now in the silly sigh bin of history
Are mescalin with me?

*Pays a few giggles for that one*
I think I’m dead too. I’m at work, time is going really slowly and I didn’t even eat anything!
I’m rather curious as to what work is out there for an apocalyptic zombie…
Oh, the usual… Law for Instance
I work for the mafia Shadow. I … um … “destroy evidence”.
Thanks, I’ll check it out when I get home and have sound.
Well it may be time to upgrade to SNES.
*Gessa had the feeling that someone was playing her life as a video game* Gessa’s sight stone recorded the sight of the third SNES reference.
It’s-a me, Mario!
I’m just going to take this case of root beer riiiiight down here.
I have to say, I’ve never seen a yellow mushroom in any of the Mario games.
They screwed up the mega mushroom. IT MEKES EVERYTHING BIG!!!!!!!
overdose
guess they had no else color
Someone doesn’t know their Super Mario Bros (clickie).
Do a google search for ’1up mushroom nes’ (failblog won’t let me link to the actual image)
Google search for ’1up mushroom nes’. You’ll see that yellow was the original color, not green.
…and now my other two posts show up. Great.
The blog monster is bulimic.
I told him he isn’t fat!
I see you’re nomming 1% of the comments. Is that ’cause you think you’re fat? ‘Cause you’re not. But you could be nomming whole trolls if you wanted to.
The Blog Fashion Show is coming up. He wants to look good at ANY cost.
The blog monster is John Prescott?! That explains a lot of things.
For the story on this pic, go to:
http://leveloneboss(dot)com/2009/08/27/super-mario-soda-art/
He actually has a bogus story. Let me know if you want the first hand experience.
Totally bogus.
What a loser that report was written by.
Thanks for getting my back Mr. Bean
Glad someone said ‘Mario’ or I would never had gotten it. Maybe someone has a better picture?
No, not ‘blonde’. Gray maybe, but not ‘blonde’.
It’s Me!!
You’re not Mario! If you were, you would’ve said “It’s-a me, Mario!”
It would be even funnier if, as people took out the blue and red boxes that make up his clothes, the person(s) who stocked the shelves replaced them with Mug root beer boxes so it looked like Mario was slowly becoming nekkid.
*scootches away from Shadow*
Hey, one of the trolls would have said it if I didn’t. I’m just covering all the bases.
Bet em’ to the punch?
Beat

punch
Thought we were supposed to spike it?
Really, I don’t mind some bases being “uncovered.”
*uncovers second base*
You ain’t Justin Timberland and this ain’t the Super Bowl!
*covers back up*
I think it was a rather interesting exposition, to be honest.
Sorry Judy! Don’t know what came over me.

I’ll get some re mushrooms. *goes to forest* Holy Crap! There are walking scary looking mushrooms! What’s this there are turtles walking on to feet (what the H*ll are there turtles in a forest for!)

That WAS the whole link. Did you replace (dot) with .?
yes it dont work
thats ugly

There’s too much win in this for me to comprehend.
Well, win you do manage to figure it out, you let me know.
Will do.
i love the mario games to death (except sunshine) but …..
ROFLMGDAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is WIN in so many ways….
All of you will burn in lava for this insolence.
RIGLMAO!
Princess is in another supermarket, sorry
God#$%*ing darn it to heck.
you have died please insert 1 coin to continue
*inserts coin for technicolor*
You continue being dead.
*inserts coin*
Would you like to revive?
*clicks yes*
*system crashes*
*kicks machine and it works again*
Maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong, I’m not kicking enough machines!
*offers ZA some syrum* it’s new and improved. It cures the zombie thing and causes rapid tissue regeneration!!
Do what you think is right.
ZA
dont take it than im the only zombie on failblog
It’s a sweet thought Abstract, but then I’d be a lie. There is no cure for rigor mortis and that has pretty much taken my life away. Without a life, I’m just the walking undead.
I say you should say “No to Drugs”.
*Moves STS’s second ” to after “No*
Actually…
*Replaces ” in original spot*
No to drugs! No to drugs!
Oogah boogah boogah!
Well you can’t. GAME OVER.

A computer once beat me at chess,
but it was no match for me at kickboxing!
its no good at wrestling too
You have decided to go along with the fact that you cannot revive. You are now dead for as long as you live.
Sh!t. I mean forever.
thats not long
NO SH!T!!!!

Hi guys
Failblog has built up a specific culture over the last year. It’s built on affection, intelligent and witty banter, and thoughtful conversation. There are a lot of people here who come here for this very reason.
You guys are having fun, and that’s awesome. But please tone it down a bit, and try to stay true to the culture we’ve established here. It detracts from the fun for the rest of the group when you spam the board like this.
I’m not the failblog cop, I’m just trying to be helpful. We always welcome friendly newcomers who attempt to fit in with the community.
Thanks.
And once again, Sir Brewski tries to bring good to the world!
I’d like Emily to step in and ban one or two people here.
.
Please?
Let’s give ‘em a chance first. We can point to these posts to make sure they see them. They haven’t really violated any official policy, just etiquette.
…for a couple of days… Just sayin’.
Time outs and children being sent to their rooms away from the grown-ups is a very well-established form of behavior modification. And I am THIS CLOSE *holds thumb and forefinger a millimeter apart* to trying it.
…But okay. They get another chance.
Except I’ve seen how banning a mildly annoying user for a couple of days can piss him/her off enough to turn him/her into a full-blown troll. We do NOT need another one of those.
Yeah, just to give them some “thinking time”.
sry guys but were else are we to talk
were just having fun and as far as im concerned were not bothering anyone
“not bothering anyone”? This is rich.
I don’t think anyone would have any problems if you created threads of your own and played on them. But you continually interrupt other people’s conversations, derail pun-runs, and spam your comments all over the blog. This is incredibly annoying.
Talking is fine…go ahead and talk. But you should create your own space in which to do so and not disrupt what other people are doing. Fair enough?
exept for you sry
you dont see me complaining about everything when you guys talk
Of course “as far as you’re concerned” you’re not bothering anyone. Unfortunately, you aren’t the only one concerned here. If you want to have those conversations, try one of the lesser filled sister-sites. Like Engrish, or Lol-celebs, any of the ones that don’t get the volume of traffic that this site gets.
can i go where my friend are
Look, the point is, failinator, you are treating this comments section like your own personal chat room. You continually barge into people’s conversations, completely go off topic and generally fill this forum with grammatically incorrect spam. If you want to be integrated in our society here, I suggest you stop being so crude.
Also? FYI, playing the pity card gets you no sympathy around here. Just so you know.
Beat them! Beat them like little red headed step children! They’ll be so traumatized we will never see or hear from them again.
Ok I feel better.
There is no pity only Zuul.
(sorry, it was too tempting)
Why do I ALWAYS die on FB? Why am I hated so?
*finally snaps*
MUST. KILL. FAILBLOGGERS. OUT TO GET ME!!
i die alot too dont snap
I was out to get you A present.
in the cooler?
*Puts knife away*
What did you get me? It better be good.
I got you a stuffed princess peach doll.
*Asks STS to leave the room*
*Turns to Peach doll*
Alone at last.
*peeks tru window*
*Asks like he doesn’t know he’s being watched*
*Secretly likes being watched*
*Puts on a great show*
*claps*
Who gave me “the clap”?
*looks angrily at Peach.
its my sword zerg have burned half of your city and are approaching your house
*breaks in* I hear you have kidnapped a princess… Mario would be ashamed… AT LEAST PUT HER FRIENBDS IN OTHER HOUSES!
Its a stuffed princess peach doll.
sir that is sonic
What you talkin bout?
that is a sonic doll
*hands failinator glasses*
That is a lie. I have the only Sonic doll I know of.
eats glasses
*hands indestructable glasses*
theres more than one in the world
Why are you so wrong all the time?
*hands another pair of glasses*
*to Failinator*
*eats glasses*
why are you so insistant all the time
wait thats not sonic thats a zergling
Why are you so you all the time?
That’s a REAL Metroid!
its fun being me now give the zergling back to kerrigan
*wacthes Failinator get attacked by a metroid*
*cuts metroid up with kriptonite sword*
*cough*icekillsmetroids*cough*
the sword also has ice in it
NO! USE THE ICE BEAMS!
shoots icebeams out of sword of eternal power
Did you remember the
*shoots more missles*
OMG! A baby Sheegoth! What weapon do you use?
sword of eternal power to send to the volcano planet
a zerg invasion force what do you do
THERE IS NO SWORD.
The choices are Power Beam, Wave beam, Ice Beam, Plasma Beam or Missiles.
uses cheat for sword
Then how to fight Magmoors if Magmoor is in lava?
send thenm to a water planet
How the hell to do that?
i have a TARDIS(time and relative dimention something else)i crossed it with my sword to create power sword
tardis
If you’re gonna play Metroid Prime, do it right.
fine
*gos to play crysis*
sinks kpa ship
I fear your first tardis broke. What you have there is a second one, or a retardis.
Re: repeating retardis:
Andy Kaufman (RIP) used to do a routine where, after ten minutes or more of jokes (in his “Foreign Man” persona), if the audience then laughed before he had finished the next joke, he would say, “No, no, no! You must wait for the punch! I start over!” … and he did start over … the entire evening’s routine.
it didnt brake and docter who haz the retardis
Did you remember that you need
shoots missles
Did you specify what to shoot at?
sends metroid to doom dimention
Looks like you need this more than I do.
*Throws technicolor a Game Genie*
Great job! you can repeat what I posted a few days ago!
sry bout that
you posted that to me and we had our second or third fight

The angle of the image is bad. It took a while to see mario and the mushroom. The comment with the video up there is better.
You think this is an awesome Mario contrivance, clickie. There are 4 parts remember and this is just the f!rst.
And with that I’m back to French class… Stupid mandatory attendance… Miss 5 and they knock your grade back a letter

Wow… look at Mario… just… staring endlessly… at the mushroom…. That look he has… on his face… those menacing eyes… peering into the very heart and soul of the mushroom… the symbol of time and space itself… the cake is a lie… they… they’re going to get me…. They’re going to hurt me… the eyes…….
*colour returns to face*
*no longer has a blank stare*
Sorry, kinda lost myself there. What were we talking about?
It’s alright, Johnny. Just take a deep breath, and sit down. I’ll fetch a glass of water.
runs trough while general is gone
The water… in such a fragile glass… glass breaks… it could break… at any moment… broken glass hurts… it can kill… glass will take over the world… with its power to kill… our world’s Kira… it will take only a few months… to destroy the human population… the end of the world as we know it… because of glass…………
*returns to normal again*
Sorry, I am just so TIRED today… What were you saying?
Er, oookay. Why don’t you have a lie down. I’ll call for a pizza.
*dials number*
Hello? Freud & Freud Psychiatrists?
hallo who is crazy
No mushrooms on my pizza, please!
Pizza… it does nothing… but watch its brothers and sisters go away… to get eaten… by homicidal maniacs… and the pizza does nothing…. But maybe… it’s planning… for revenge… for all his siblings that have been killed… by us…. The world will be taken over… by Mario… glass… and pizza…..

How is it possible to make a correct comment and FAIL so hard at the same time?
Only the trolls are capable of doing that, HHNF. Only the trolls.
*shakes head sadly*
I was under the troll bridge once upon a time. It was a dark and stormy time in my failife.
he he. I was going to leave this one alone after I got my sarcasm out of the way. I guess it went too far out of the way for some people to even see it.

THATS IS THE SINGLE COOLEST THINK EVAR!
Oh, wow. I want to find the place that did this now and steal the display XD
So I’m OT here.
I’ve been busy packing, but I wanted to stop in and wish all you failpeeps a long weekend full of win.
Same to you!
Enjoy your long weekend, Scott!
Have a great holiday, Scott. And remember…safety third!

How has no one used the phrase “pop art” yet?
We accord a certain degree of decorum, respect, and affection to Arthur on this blog.
(Apologies in advance. This is stronger than I am.)

Yes — somebody popped a bottle cap in his ass.

That’s the last straw, LCB. Now your comments are getting up my nose.

Don’t worry. Her Barq’s is worse than her bite.
Thats pretty cool

No.
Oh dear. Here we go again.
Hmmm? I just tried if the smileys work in the name bar. No impostor, if that’s what you thought.
Aaah, thank goodness. We didn’t want that nasty incident happening again.
Nope!
Wouldn’t it be cool if smileys worked there?
*sigh*
Alas, it is not to be.
At least we have our old smileys back! Even though I miss the :angel:
And the :monkey:
I miss the shellacking.
I blame Arthur.
I liked the angel too, but I missed
and most of all
while we had those other smileys.
We still need an :ick:
And the :monkey:. I liked the :monkey:.
I’d like to point out that the :monkey: was cool, too. And BMW WIN.

It will be a sad day when people buy those drinks and Mario fades away.
NO!!!! Don’t say it! They’ll hear you! That’s like…even worse than eating the chocolate statue of liberty! A day of infamy. Anyone who is in possession of a box, a can or even a drop of that soda should be flogged. I think they should be made into a permanent piece of art, a shrine to all that is full of awesome and goodness in our young lives.

Ah beeleeve AH posted this vid last fail but without lyriics.
*Didn’t check last fail*

True, but I think I beat you to the punch.
Even more random/obscure than that vid Qwaz posted (it’s all over Newgrounds)
BEHOLD!
Geez, the person who made that has no idea how to fight that thing. I’ve done it in half the time.
Geez, the person who complains has no idea how to just shut up about it.
*gasp*
Random Video time?!!
I haven’t seen you in a while
It’s all over New Grounds?
You mean they JUST discovered Fusion?
No. YOUR vid.
Here’s another BTW.
Less obscure though.
Are you 15 years old?
Why?
I’ve only beaten 3 of these bosses on their respectable modes. What does that make me?

And what does this have to do with Mario and/or soda?
If you pause the video at just the right time, you will see Mario.
Also, Soda’s not that good for you, neither is staying on topic around here.
Good point.
good point
This could have fit in at pre-school fail.
OHHH. I see it. *facepalms*
Well, it looks like everyone hailed a cab for home. See ya tomorrow, and I’ll make sure to post random and obscure videos with you next time Qwaz.
The person who did this display had better have had permission from Nintendo, Inc. or they are liable to be sued for damages related to unauthorized use of licensed images… Just sayin’…
If so, then yes this is epic WIN. If they didn’t get express permission to use the copyrighted “Mario” and “Mushroom” characters from Nintendo, then it is epic FAIL because they are liable to end up in the poor house.
Really? You need permission to advertise for other people? That in itself is FAIL. If I owned a company, and people put up giant Pepsi mosaics in its honor, I’d say “Cool!” not “Hey! You can’t do that! You need permission to use our image!”
Wow I can’t believe my video found its way onto FAILBLOG. The actual display took three of us from Pepsi 4 hours to build and we used 945 twelve packs of soda. I can post additional pics if anyone is interested.
im interested
Did that display appear in more than one store?
Nope just that one but I am working on getting permission for a larger “Mario-ish” spread at another local grocery store. Probably nearer to Halloween.
Well now they’ll never sell that soda! oh well. WIN!!
Holy shit, that’s a lot of soda! (that’s for you, Noel)
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi.
too bad if you take one it falls on you
just one pepsi! and she wouldn’t give it to me! just a pepsi!
Hey, just got back from another store (I was locked in for the night), I got you a Pepsi!
someone is going to sex my ass this morning
I’ve never been so proud to work for Safeway.
And I never will be again.
lol … taking stock
the Safeway isn’t always the best way?
Hello Mario
Nooo!
*goes to therapy*
Yeah sorry about that. We put it up on a Friday and Safeway’s District Manager made the store manager make us take it down on the next Tuesday.
And I just want this one box of root beer right here…..Oh noooooo!
Whoever did this needs a *huge* raise. Now.
Eh! Scusi! It’sa me! Mario! The Italian Stallion! Mama mia!
Somebody has too much time on their hands!
I’ll swap to Pepsi instead of real Coke now.
Have you noticed the non-Pepsi product DR PEPPER!?!?! HOW COULD YOU MISTAKEN SOMETHING SO WONDERFUL AND DELICIOUS AS DR PEPPER AS A PEPSI PRODUCT?!?! THEY SHOULD BE SHOT!
Only a plain dipshit nerd who still lives in his parents’ basement would call this ‘win’
At least we all know, by your proclaimation of superiority, that you are far more awesome than Mario lovers, and the rest of us are lower life forms. Thank you, Captain Douchebag, for the enlightenment. all of us nerds *99.9 percent of the population* will be over here, enjoying our lives without you. You can have that corner alone with your douchebaggery, and wait for us nerds to invent the internet, computers, cell phones, you know, the things that you cannot live without. Sorry for breathing your air.
^everything she said, plus, eat my ass buddy.
Sooo cool! I wish I got to set up displays like that in the store where I work.
Wow, something cool in Rohnert Park! My own town and I missed it! I guess I gotta shop safeway more often.
I want someone to so pull one out from the bottom XD
i like to stick my hand up my ass, and then smell it
Drink the green mushroom for eternal life!

Amazing work, hope they will make other art !
Wow…I need to pay more attention at the Rohnert Park Safeway…
So what did they use for the yellow?
I believe that is Squirt.
No, I’m not being lewd.
This won the internet
ROHNERT PARK!
Can i have the Pepsi from the bottom?
Go Sonoma State! XD
yeah but it’s still not as good as the Rohnert park apple bees. That and Scandia pwn all your faces =D
Squirt Accessibility Fail!
Haha, that’s amazing!
Do do do do do do DO!
I have been here. It’s in Oakland, California. I think I have seen the American Flag one.
Hey guys, I just called the Rohnert Park Safeway yesterday in a attempt to go visit this awsomeness BUT ended up being a EPIC “FAIL.” Corporate told this Safeway to “Take it down” because it was Pepsi related!!! D<<< BUT the guy I talked to was cool enough to tell me to call back on monday and ask for the store manager to ask him to bring it back! So if enough people call they "MIGHT" bring it back!!! The store number is (707) 584-8942. CALL AND ASK FOR THIS AWSOMENESS TO RETURN!!!!!!
Those people have alot of time on their hands. But they did a great job.
Creativity WIN!
So I totally saw this in person xD I go to school in Rohnert Park. It was way cool
thats defenitely grool!!
it really won! i wish here in mexico people actually had this kind of imagination! im still proud of being mexican!
BIGGEST WIN ON FAILBLOG!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!
That is Epic!
It would be funnier if Bowser was built mostly with Sprite boxes at the same time (no pun intended) since Sprite is a Coca-Cola product.
MAJOR WIN!!!?
SO MUCH WIN!
wow…WIN X INFINITY
makes you wonder what would happen if someone took a soda box from the middle.
1-up!
must be the union
