IM IN!
No one else is in? Its a brilliant idea
If the job is unsatisfactory…
Give her another job, get her to repair your chainsaw.
Then sadistically chop off her
shop fittings
You should really try it before you put it out :p
As several others have noted, this is not a “fail”. Mable Peabody’s Beauty Parlor and Chainsaw Repair Night Club is a gay bar — the only gay bar — in Denton, Texas. It was burned down by an arsonist; they built it back. The club’s name, of course, is intentional kitsch.

So, day or night, that place is really buzzing?
Ha… Nice
*proceeds to whack fuzz on the concept into ground with mallet*
That will teach you to call it a win you troll!
Ya, I live about half a mile away from that place. Right next to Bagheri’s. btw Bagheri’s = best hookah lounge eva!!!
lol! Me too. Thats a gay bar. I remember, a good friend and I, looking at it and just wondering… what the heck?!?!
Apparently, Denton has gotten cooler since I moved away from there.
no-it hasn’t- don’t worry.
Denton would be cooler if YOU moved away.
oh…. I Didn’t know it got Arsoned (if thats a word)
I thought that was The Flying Tomato.
STOP! You’re both right! But The Tomato didn’t burn until after it had closed. Mable’s was torched with all the goods inside.
Correction…
Mable’s was set on fire with the intent to do harm. We still think it was a hate crime.
The Tomato was set on fire to make a point to the City for allowing the entire strip to be sold to make way for Walgreens and the likes… However, as soon as the contractor’s got wind of the arson, they pulled out of the deal. The block is now just a fenced off, empty lot…
Ya, both were torched. the Tomato was by the owner, but the Mable’s investigation is still open.
Fuzz,
Thank you for pointing this out. I am from Denton and was heartbroken when Mable’s went up in flames… Much like the Tomato. The lady that owns the joint is just fantastic and it was heartbreaking to see her go through that. But, thankfully, Madble lives, again!!
I get so stoked when Denton is mentioned anywhere, but man-oh-man there are a million other fails in town!!!
There used to be a gay bar in Alton, Illinois called “Mable’s Discount Beauty Supply & Chainsaw Repair”. Probably got the name from the one in Texas. It’s been renamed “Bubby & Sissy’s”, but it’s thriving!
Repair her face with the chainsaw first
fail? i find it ingenius. i know what im doing next saturday!
going to a gay bar? Have Fun Buddeh!
Well it really puts the term “awful first date” a really strange connotation.
What happened Mr Peabody??
…quiet you!
FIRST
…to be after me…
Ahh, fail
…to be before me….
…Wait a minute.

#2 FAIL
Who could ask for more? You take your saw in for repair, get a facial while you wait for the night club to open, then on your way home (blazing drunk) , you pick your chain saw up and create havoc.
Sounds like a good day all round!
I guess I was a bit slow…
But, dearest jam: You should consider your words a little more careful. “Facial”? It may happen that someone sp*nks when he reads that…
*squeeze*
Hmm… is that the real Arthur? Why didn’t you shake your fist at me?
Well, it wasn’t the exact same thing… But for old times sake:
JAAAAM!
*shakes fist at jam*
Woohoo! You had me worried there for a minute.
Thought someone had stole yourself again.
It wasn’t me this time, I know how it upsets him.
Arthur, I must say I find “shakes fist at Jam” quite…suggestive.
*SQUEEZIES for both of you*
I wonder if that tells more about my action… or you.
*squeeze*
I’d say it’s more about Czuhc, after all I started it and everyone knows I’m angelic. :halo:
*squeezesall*
ORGY
A bit unrelated, but why not?
*shags Gleb*
*smiles and waves*
*clicks*
*chuckles*
Orgy? Where was my invite?
*Feels left out*
I’m done here. If you want him now…
*offers Gleb*
Under-aged here.
I am so going to sue you all.
So was the racoon, but it DID ask for it and it enjoyed it!
LOL sue me? So broke you’ll end up losing money.
Irony, I just watched a marathon of To Catch a Predator.
I know now that pedos will abandon all suspicion at the sight of cookies.
Please take a seat.
Never mind the 40oz and condoms, I was just coming here to warn the kid.
He was taped.
I heard everything.
Now please take a seat.
Ok. Would you like me to pour you a glass of Vod… Kool Ade? It’s cherry flavored, my own special mix
Then why are you wearing nothing but panties?
Why are YOU wearing suspenders? after columbus day? for goodness sakes!
I guess I owe you some apol…Wait a minute!
.
This halo is made of styrofoam!
Do I still get points? It does glow in the dark.
You shouldn’t bend ET’s finger like that. It may break.
And how are you gonna cure hiccup then?
It’s detachable. Just tickle it a bit and it straightens up.
Aah, the miracles of nature. Or technology. Whatever.
>JAAAAM!
>*shakes fist at jam*
is this part of her facial?
Well, you do want to look good and have a fully functioning chainsaw when you go to the nightclub, right? So where’s the fail?
No need for a dress-code, either. All the patrons are already looking sharp.
Be careful when they try to do your nails.
Don’t worry, they’ll repair the chainsaw before they use it.
Also put glitter on my nails. Tech’s seeing a lumberjack tonight. Maybe we’ll go clubbin’ who knows.
Not like you have to travel far.
Fail: This is neither a beautyparlor nor a chain saw repair, but a (gay) night club.
Terrific name for a bar, i think
I believe you. After all, you are known to watch out on everything.
I can confirm that this is a gay bar.
>I can confirm that this is a gay bar.
it can’t be a gay bar, it’s not called the Blue Oyster.
does not compute, does not compute wdihwdefiwbd#sd
dsob##dsd#####”"”"”"”"”"”"”3$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I can also confirm that this is a gay bar… it isn’t that far from where i live. they have a great drag show!
Yeah our gay clubs, friends, and supporters. Raise your chainsaws in the air, get em up, get em up, get em up!
I can also confirm that this is a gay bar. I grew up a few blocks away from it.
OK, it’s definitely a gay bar. Would anyone else like to confirm that?
I will!
HI BILLY MAYS HERE

Only the French eat Kermit, though.
mmm…roasted French
*drools a bit*
*Buys shiny new fork and knife, bib and plane ticket for France*
Its not even a fail, its just a funky name for a nightclub – pretty cool anyway
Not even? How … odd.
cos it clearly says NIGHT CLUB at the end on the same sign – its a nightclub, not actually a chainsaw / beauty store!
I always wanted to call my night club ” the Piston Broke” a biker theme bar if you will.
or
“Wear The Fox Hat” but that’s old hat now.
Hehehe! I wanted to share a SFW-picture – but my comment is awaiting moderation! That didn’t happen to me for quite some time.
FB just told me to slow down. Says I’m posting comments too quickly.
Screw you FB you ain’t my mommy. Are you?
That happend quite often to me. Failblog seems to be a granny… talk slowly or it won’t understand.
FB is no granny. FB never overfed me. FB never called me a handsome devil. And FB doesn’t kick funky fresh rhymes yo.
My grannys never kicked funky fresh rhymes. I’m disappointed.
My Granny makes cake.
I swear to God if you’re going to say that line I’m thinking…
My Granny makes cake.
(Whatever helps you to think is fine.)
What lien?
Hold the line, love isn’t always on time
one of my favorites of all times
Oh, now this is fabulous!
All that’s missing is Chicken ‘n’ Waffles
Rosco’s
Hell yeah!
It´s a viral ad for the Remake of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”
Sex Sells
Texas Chainsaw Orgy comin’ up
Roland? Is that really you? My grandson!!!
Sure, but have to go now, am in a desert and following a Suspicios man in black…
Which is what you’ll be doing again and again. But don’t despair, next time you’ll have your horn. Bye!
Something for everyone.
Or everything for someone.
Some people get greedy.
MAD magazine had a (fictional) feature of this kind of thing once, a long long long time ago. The only “Great Business Idea that Failed” that I can recall was “Larry’s Sandwiches and Urine Analysis Shack”
Hey, gotta eat something while waiting in the waiting room, right?
i dont want to know about the night club bit lol
It’s a gay bar in Denton, Texas. The name was picked on purpose to be kitschy. I grew up a few blocks away.
I’d like to think they prettify chainsaws, for the fashionable zombie-killer. Or lumberjack I suppose.
OT: Aja is having a FB anniversary today. I was able to track myself back to Okt 23 and yourself to Okt 22.
I’m impressed! How on earth did you manage to find that?
Just browsing, my dear sir.
Quiet day at work?
I’ve placed myself on October 17th laughing. On the log throwing fail, that’s just spooky considering the thread below.
ht tp://failblog.org/2008/10/16/log-throwing-fail/#comment-137042
I think you’ll agree the comment sets the benchmark for everything else I have said
>for the fashionable zombie-killer. Or lumberjack I >suppose.
talking of zombies – has anyone seen Zombieland? is it any good – not sure whether to see it or not.
PS – i tried to be a lumberjack – i couldn’t get into the fishnets; lost balance during the skipping and lost the pressed wild flowers.
Random poll:
When you hear ‘chainsaw’, who thinks ‘lumberjack’ and who thinks ‘dismemberment’?
Dismemberment.
I think about lumberjack contests. Log rolling and all that. It’s ridiculous how much time I spend watching that on TV – I’m not even interested in it, but I can’t seem to use the remote when that’s on.
Random contests are compelling TV, you can’t help but watch no matter what the event is.
True. I even watch strongman-contests! Human giants pulling trucks and all that. How senseless is that?
Or holding an anchor at arms length to either side of you.
I prefer not to watch those contests. I’m very competitive and would be compelled to think “I can do that!”
Ohhhh, I see a fail in the making
i once had to sit in a truck during a strongman contest in Scotland – the expected champion was struggling to move it until i realised i had left the parking brake on. i was ever so quiet about that.
Lumberjacks use chainsaws?
♫Am a lumberjack and I am ok cutting wood til the break of day♫
Poll Fail
We had a place called Mabel’s Beauty Parlor and Chainsaw Repair in Birmingham, AL back in the 80s. It was a fantastic gay bar.
I laughed once at the first bit, then I saw “night club”, and laughed again. Harder.
I pass Mabel’s on my way to work every morning, so was tickled to see it on the Webs. I don’t consider it a fail, however. Some of us are quite proud that Denton finally has a gay bar that doesn’t hide itself, even though as a non-gay person, I’ve never actually been there.
This is actually a lesbian bar next to Texas Woman’s University in Denton.
when i first drove by it i was like.. “WHUUUUUUH”… lol
yep gay bar it is.
is your dad named steven k meek??
I’m currently at the Texas Women’s University near the gay bar in Denton, TX. Hows that for a coinkydink?
Denton? Isn’t that where Brad and Janet attended the Habschack wedding before they ventured off to Dr. Frank N. Furters castle???
Yep, and where do you think they developed the Time Warp?
cool, i live close to there.
It would be a win if they would just add mini-golf
Actually, it was an awesome nightclub. The name was a joke… too bad it no longer exists because they wanted to rebuild the area… So, knowing what this actually is, its really not a fail… But it would seem like it to everybody who hasn’t been there.
I think it still exists on university past TWU
It’s still there! They had to go through alot of red tape that suddenly “appeared out of nowhere” since it was a gay bar, but they opened up at a new location.
Yeah, I heard that they had a oily wrestling this past weekend! Unfortunately I’m broke and couldn’t go, cover charge and all.
That’s not a fail, it’s just a clever and strange sign for a night club, it’s hardly a first… and come to think of it I think that it’s homosexual night club too lol
i think the fail was the name.
peole who walk in hopeing to get their hair done or chainsaw fixed and found mostly nekkid men and very tall ugly women. :/
There’s a goth club in Dallas called The Church, you wouldn’t go there expecting to find religion would you? lol
Never date Church Take-out!
I love telling my family that I went to The Church on Sunday.
depends on your definition of “religion” hehehe… (been to The Church a few times myself..)
I have to agree this isn’t really a fail. If out on the town one night, and saw this place, wouldn’t you be at least a little curious?
This was my fave hangout in college – I miss Mables!
photoshopped..
Not photoshopped. Been there many times. Cool place.
OMG! I went to school in Denton and was dragged there one night. By far the scarriest place in the entire city. I thought it was burnt down or something like that?
Is it a salon, or club? *confused*
I love this place, great gay bar
and we wonder why buisness’s today are failing, they can’t decide what to do….
beg pardon, but that’s a total win! And it’s only 20 minutes away!
I live literally down the street from here! It’s kind of the only gay bar around.
Haha yeah it really is! Pretty much the only gay bar from there to Dallas.
You wouldn’t happen to be a Anthropology major, would you Michael?
I hate gate bars. Get out of my city!
Brought to you by Frankestein
If you people think this is crazy, just go to Denton. I guarantee you will find stranger places in this wonderful city.
OMG that’s right down the street from me!
Hey!!! That’s the gay club from Denton, TX! I just moved here and drove past that!!! CRAZY!!
Face-palm!
HAHAHAHA! That’s in my town! The funny thing is Denton is so weird, no one really thinks this is. Gay bar win!
That’s so true. Denton is so wacky. I mean, the buildings alone! This is just one of many.
Good for Denton, but it’s not the first to have a Mabel’s. 20 years ago, in Birmingham, AL was a gay bar called Mabel’s Beauty Shop and Chain Saw Repair. Closed a few years back, or renamed. The late 80’s were my partying days, so it’s kinda foggy…
ha! this place is actually a nightclub in Denton TX. my band played there in 2003 and it’s a great spot!
I’m really curious about going to this place. Driven by with my boyfriend several times going out to Denton. I swear I get a city history lesson every time we go somewhere out there.
Funny to see this on here.
There was a gay bar called Mable’s Beauty Parlor and Chainsaw Repair in my old hometown in Southern Illinois as well.
Holy crap that’s our gay bar!!!
UNT/TWU WIN.
I live in Denton & the place is actually a gay bar. Just makes it all the more random!
What? Just what?
Hey, in today’s economy, you have to diversify.
OMG! I GO THERE ALL THE TIME
Whoa! I drive by that place all the time!
Wow! What a surprise to see something from Denton!! (Seriously, of all the ‘actual’ fails in that entire ‘city’, this is what ends up on fail blog??) Nice to see so many Dentonites in the comments. I’m so glad they rebuilt Mable’s! I have some good memories there. You know, before the arson.
Carnage! Looks like the Chainsaw Massacre is there!
HAHAHAHA.. This place is near my house. Its actually the funiest old people that own it.. its a college bar.. wow..
Definitely ps. The shadows on the letters are all wrong.
I used to go there when I lived in Denton. It’s a cool place!
Oh and it is definitely real, but it’s just a lesbian bar… there’s no chainsaw repairing or beauty shop… the name is a fun joke.
I live in the area. Thats a fem gay bar
I always laugh when I drive by that place…
Though, I’ve wondered about getting a drink at Ur Moms…by the Movie Tavern.
It’s my favorite place to dance in Denton!
Boo, I actually like this bar. I have many gay friends and go there with them. Went last night but they had live Sucky bands.
I wanna take you to the gay bar! gay bar! gay bar!
Holy crap, I drove by this place and thought it was hilarious… I should have taken a picture of it.
If this was a hate crime I hope it is really being investigated!!!!I live in Frisco and saw this on a friends FaceBook page…..I am glad this establishment rebuilt……I am not gay but might go check it out and give them my support!!!!! They’re here They’re Queer…..Get used to it TEXAS!!!!!!
I live in Denton, and have always loved the sense of humor of the owners of this establishment. It’s such a fun title for your nightclub. Didn’t know it was a gay bar. Thanks, internet!
HAAAA!!! GAYYYYYY BARRRR!!!
(it is)
