The fire hydrant brings it all together.
Just look at all those beautiful native flowers, and grasses! Are we even looking at the same photo? Because I’m seeing an amazing landscaped yard in front of an incredible mansion. It’s no wonder this place got an award.
ai tink sumon tuk toooo mani pillz
Hi! Could you please refrain from using lolspeak when you’re here? Thanks.
You guys are no fun…
I think you’ll find that we are just a slightly different type of fun. “When in Rome …”
I’m sorry, but I’m just thinking of the right words to say.
To finish the saying? I think it’s “shag a roman”, isn’t it?
♫ I promise you, I promise you I will … I will… I will… I will… ♫
Just so long as you do it as the Romans do, you’ll be fine!
♫ Sometimes if I shout, it’s not what’s intended. These words just come out, with no (grape) to bear. ♫
~ When in Rome *SQUEEZE*
♫ I know they don’t mound the way I planted them to be. (I promise) ♫
*squeezes*^^^
Actually there are no more romans. They’re just italians now.
It has been reported that all inhabitants of the city of Rome have vanished. Stay tuned for more on this story, but first let’s check the weather. Karen?
Karen:
It’s going to be a wet one, not a good day to be Roman the streets.
*sports newscaster*
The chariot games have been cancled due to rain.
Later, we’ll have a special report on unemployment at the circus. But now, the growing problem of the Italian bread mountain.
This just in!
All the Roma apples and Roma tomatoes in Italy have mysteriously vanished from grocery stores across the nation!
Italian flat-leaf parsley, however, is flourishing.
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Mass Roman Kidnapping by Etruscan Raiders!
News Director: Camera one, stop Romanoff!
News reports are now pouring in that the Romany communities are also missing, and people have noticed that the “Roman a clef” genres have started mysteriously disappearing from bookstore shelves.
This just in: Even all people named “Roman” have disappeared. We’ll keep you uo to date with the latest developements.
News Flash: Romance languages are dying around the world; tempers are flaring as people have difficulty communicating.
Well, pfft. THAT’S not new. :p
SPECIAL REPORT!!
A performance of “Romeo and Juliet” by the RSC is disrupted when the actor playing the lead characters mysteriously disappears from the stage in front of thousands of witnesses.
Wait, we have a breaking report that the chrome has gone missing from vehicles across the world.
To sum all of this up: “chango” is right.
Did anyone else think, “It’s Danger Island next”?
Plus ça chango…
Just a different fun.
Ok.
Thanks bye.
Okay fine I’ll cut off the lol-speak.
I just thought I could start something new.
I’m sure that Lolspeak would be permissible, in small quantities and in context, but it makes thing difficult for others to understand. Our motto here is “Eschew Obfuscation”.
Did you just talk in Lolspeak too?
o hai
No, but I would do so on ICHC or, sparingly, when commenting on a feline-related fail. The “Song Title Fail” of yesterday being a prime example.
Poor Gleb someone should have pointed him/her towards the failblog FAQuitty FAQ page…
Or he could have lurked for a while.
*Stops lurking in the neighbors bushes*
*Squeezes AE*
*Climbs tree in award winning landscaped yard*
A tree? How on earth did that disgusting garden win an award?
*squeeze*
It was a grass roots movement.
They got the mulch improved award.
*squeezes to all*
It helped that they were backed by the John Steinbeck Landscape Foundation.
*Squeeze*
What happened to the wasteland that this place normally is on a Saturday? Howdy, failpeeps!
*squeeze*
It won a price and then moved to Pacific Palisades.
*squeeze*
Good morning.
*squeeze*
Indeed, it was lovely to come here and see so many friends!
I’m heading out in about an hour, though. It’s time for the annual Chestnut Festival!
Are you in charge of the open fire?
(*smooch*)
Hee! *smooch*
I hope there WILL be some open flame…it’s cold out there today.
I’m still trying to figure out what a “Chestnut Festival” might be. Is that a squirrel thing?
*SNORK!*
Erm…no. Here.
ht tp://w w w.centerforagroforestry.org/events/chestnut/index.asp
I just had a quick look at your clicky. Am I correct when I say lots of people meet to celebrate… a nut? From today on you are no longer allowed to laugh at strange Spanish celebrations!
I’ve NEVER laughed at strange Spanish celebrations!
I ALWAYS do.
Have a great day, Dragon! Protect your chestnuts!
Yeah, have fun!
I gotta leave, too. See you all next week!
Yeah, listen to Judy. You don’t want the girls to turn blue.
*squeeze!*
Oh, bye, Arthur. It was a pleasure.
*seeyalatersqueeze*
*snorkroffle*
I love you people.
*hugeaffectionatesqueezes!*
*Waves*
lol, its the emperors new bush! if you cant see it, your low class!
…How many mistakes can you make in one comment?
It’s actually quite clever when you think about it…
I counted 6.
Let’s check:
1. No capitalisation at beginning of first sentence.
2. No apostrophe in “its”.
3. No apostrophe in “emperors”.
4. No capitalisation at beginning of second sentence.
5. No apostrophe in “cant”.
6. Incorrect usage of “your” (correct word is you’re).
CORRECT! You win 1,000 internets!
*bell rings*
*lights flash*
*studio audience cheers*
Meh, I would count the usage of “lol” as a seventh mistake. That term is annoying, only to be used under very specific circumstances.
Some of my classmates say “lol” instead of laughing, like normal human beings. It really gets on my nerves when they do that.
Do they use it as a replacement for the word “laughing” or do they scream “lol” when they are laughing?
Just thinking about that possibility disturbs me. Thanks, Arthur. Say are ya back to footballing yet? (It’s been a while)
Yup, every Wednesday – indoors, damn the weather. And the whole season. But it’s great fun, I don’t understand how I was able to survive five or six months without The Beautiful Game.
Good god, that would be absolutely terrifying. No, whenever they see or hear something humo(u)rous, they give a terse “lol”. It really does bug the hell out of me.
lOoKs liKe Some peopleS have two geT out of thier paRents BasemEnts.
It’s the mauve stucco which blends so well with the almost green leaves of the … what kind of tree is that? A locust? Or those cheap non-native stinky trees that were brought in from some other planet?
I’m pretty sure that the blue sign that says “Outstanding Landscape Award” is what won them the award.
yes, it does go nicely with the yellow phallus.
garden club. wooden or made in china?
The fire hydrant is the first clue that this is fake.
“1 Comment” looks lame under anything.
Outstandingly mundane maybe?
No, no, no! That’s Babylon. I’m only a couple of blocks from there. The hanging gardens are just out of shot to the left.
No … wait … It’s just a patch of crabgrass. My mistake.
There’s a shampoo you can get if you are suffering from crab grass.
I don’t bother with shampoo any more. It’s worth the extra effort to use the real thing.
you mean like… tweezers?
(I think s/he meant “real poo”)
eeewwww. …
Thats just nasty.
Also, why isnt my picture working.
Dx
It’s Saturday … and they have a good union?
If the subject isn’t working, I don’t see how the picture can be.
inane
Just got to say, not a very good yard to play “hide and seek” in.
Unless you’re a flea.
or a vole.
Anywhere is a good place to play hide and seek if you are a flea or a vole!
Or Pigpen.
“Don’t think of it as dust. Just think of it as the dirt and dust of far-off lands blowing over here and settling on Pig-Pen! It staggers the imagination! He may be carrying the soil that was trod upon by Solomon or Nebuchadnezzar or Genghis Khan!”
Wow, someone pulled a sign from one house and planted it in front of another for ironic effect. Never done THAT before… *yawn* This fail is a fail.
not just that, but i think its photoshopped. The lighting on that sign just doesn’t look right.
I think they call that thing the sun. But I’m not sure.
Sol-ed
Correct, someone moved the sign, then photoshopped it. Because that makes perfect sense.
We all know that everything on the internet is photoshopped.
I know! Like there are any such things as sloths! What kind of crazy world do they think we live in.
If I toed you once, I’ve toed you three times…I like to hang around with you.
Wait a few hours and I’ll come give you a hug!
But I want a hug no…Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
We’ll hang around here as long as it takes to get our hugs. We’ll have a three told sloshed party.
Wait… You mean there is something else than internet, too?
PLASPHEMY!
Brrr! I had a terrible nightmare last night, the grossest one i have ever seen! You dont want to hear it, believe me!

*Sparks up a bonfire and sits tentatively to hear Mawcrow’s scary dream*
Okay… Here we go!
WARNING! FOLLOWING TEXT MIGHT CAUSE TRAUMAS TO YOUNGER READERS!
So, i was waching some grazy bug-involved stunt. There was those long, manylegged worm like bugs. The something went wrong, and those bugs were anywhere. Then some of them went to my hair, and the guys dong the stunt started searching for them there. They found so many, and all the time was puking some kind of blue gel, jellyfishes and those worms. When i woke up, I kinda felt sick… It was too realistic nightmare.
in russia nightmares own you.
*bring forth marschmallows and warm chocolate*
*Ponders on how Marshmallows and Warm chocolate look like bugs-guts.*
*Snaps fingers and day turned into Night*
Bow before my omni-potence… Continue.
Sorry…only DW, AA and Avis can do that. You’re still a rookie.
What other amazing powers come with becoming a regular?
Uh, have humor?
Then we both have a long way to go…
That was a first step.
What did the walrus say to the gleb?
Is that a trick question?
“Koo koo kachoo?” (Or maybe that was to the apeman…)
No one ever brings chestnuts anymore…
what about the plain old nuts?
Old nuts suck.
Chestnuts, Walnuts and Peanuts please :3
Wal(rus)nuts?
The only kind of nuts I ever had in my life are peanuts.
*SQUEEZE*
I wish my hose looked like that!
*squeese all*
There is so much wrong here, where do I start?!
Indeed, he seems to have spelled “hoze” wrong.
You know what a hosser is… that’s a pig that don’ fly straight.
It’s got the swine flew?
Anyone would think it was the aporkalypse
A porkenox of what is true and untrue.
I kill a pigs on the wing for fun, but for a silk purse, I gonna carve him up real nice.
Squeal like a pursie!
Just make sure they don’t swine about it.
Oh, by the way, which one’s pink?
They come in pink, white, black, and brown.
my hose whoops that could be taken the wrong way
As could your name. :[
*leads protest march against the hunting of moomins*
I think the law is quite explicit, on this matter. Hunting moomins is only permitted when:
1) It is solely for the purpose of squeezing and/or tickling them.
2) Said moomin is given the opportunity to hunt you right back.
3) You can throw a handful of jagged rocks as hard as you can into a small pen filled with moomins.
4) No you can’t.
Sure you can, I call it Thursday Night Fun-Time. Try it!
What a preposterous notion. Even a primate should know that third is “Safety”.
Yea your right! I should think of safety. From now on ill wear a helmet whenever im out hunting moomins. Thanks!
*kicks PVM-MVP into the good ol’ fashioned troll cage*
Haven’t used this in a while. That oughta keep you quiet, and the moomins safe.
To hunt a Moomin one must pass the first black heavyweight boxing champion who also happens to be the greatest of all gunslingers. Then it becomes really difficult (hint: an angry Dragon).
*nods*
Even equipped with Adamantium Armour and level 10 Pants of Soiling, success is not an option.
Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum, Who’s that hunting our Moomun?
Mm, troll-bread with a little butter and salt…
@Arthur: *SQUEEZE!*
*squeeze*
Ah, good, you’re still here! Good to see you on a Saturday!
*squeeze*
Today it’s almost like a normal day on FB! Maybe we’re uncool now. YAY! Less trolls!
*squeeze*
Yeah, this is nice. We’re taking a weekend fail back. (I’ve been quite trigger happy with some the weaker elements lately.)
What did I miss? A war? Bloodshed and massacre? Dang.
Noooo, not really. But even minor irritants can get to you when they absolutely refuse to go away.
I think I recall having seen a fail where some regulars insult eachother – the troll-away syndrome, I believe.
*Runs screaming from cage*
Aaargh! That is the last time I use a disused troll cage to take a nap.
Hey! Come back here!
*chases after teff7 with “Cease and Desist” notice*
*Ceases and desists*
I’m an Ape, not a troll =( and I alrdy live in a cage (Zoo). So HAH.
They were going to put me in a cage once but I used my great speed and agility to outmaneuver them.
……ok…so I was napping and they thought I was dead, same thing.
That reminds ome of this one time when a sloth was walking along an extremely average garden with a single tree when he was set upon by a gang of vicious snails. The snails left him bleeding and confused at the bottom of the tree where several hours later he summoned the strength to go to the police station and report the assault. He was asked by the desk sergeant to describe his attackers. He replied, “I don’t know what they looked like, it all happened so fast.”
The Moomins defenses are formidable and legion.
The normal treatment is rest and quiet. It’s difficult to know what to do for a shell-shocked sloth.
Can someone please get my out of this cage now? I’ll behave i swear.
No. You threatened to hunt down a brother of one of our beloved failbloggers. Until you realise the error of your ways, you shall sit in that cage…FOR ETERNITY!!!
*cackles wildly and walks away*
the ‘landscape award’ sign looks fantastic
dats hou dey wun
Theres a wrecked house down the street that has the sign “Best Exterior Designer” outside.
It has a better sign.
I’m curious, do you have six fingers on your right hand?
Leave it, Inigo!
He can’t spell or type, he should prepare to die!
*slips Iocane powder into LolGleb’s drink*
Here’s a clicky, in case you have not seen it yet.
you don’t have traffic cones on your concrete steps?
So nice you can’t even park.
I woodland a plane there though.
I veldt it might be a little bumpy for that.
That is prairie observant of you.
Nothing gets pasture level if intelect aye!
With a little effort, they could tundra place into a recreation area. Maybe add a few benches, foresting on.
I’m sure others will field-a same way.
We should hold a public meeting. Savanna make a speech? I’d try, but I alway sound far too pampas.
You should try the Dale Carnegie steppes to public speaking.
I usually just marsh on up to the podium and begin, but I often end up using the wrong sward. Then the crowd will either turf me out or desert me.
I am at a loess for words.
Haha!
Well, I didn’t, that’s for sure. But I’ll continue with
♬ staying alive, staying alive ♬
so your poor little comment mustn’t live alone.
Fankoo!! *squeeze*
Haha (or ha-ha): n. A walled ditch or sunken obstacle, such as a hedge, serving especially as a barrier to livestock without impairing the view or scenic appeal.
My brain is hurting trying to figure it out…
*sitcks refresh often post it note to screen*
Well I never…
I feel terra-ble over what I’ve done tuya Dragon. I completely missed it.
I would have liked moor time; I typically dig through all of her references.
It’s okay Guv’, I’ll just stoke up the ‘earth and we can sit around and be for-lawn toge’er
I’ll goa-ground to help I grass.
It appears to be a rather arid location. Perhaps if they had mor’ raine there, the garden wouldn’t look quite so … umm … terminal.
Its obvious that the other side of the building is a super awesome magical garden.
Shhhh!!!!
♫ It’s oh … so quiet … ♫
♫ So long, see ya, hope ya had a good good time . . . ♫
♫And so peaceful until…
YOU FALL IN LOVE!
ZING BOOM!!♫
My desk should earn an award as well
it’s tree :l
Forget it, man. It’s tree.
What is a tree,
wood and bark,
leaves and branches,
rooted in the ground,
living in one location.
Just out of shot is a Jeep buried past its axles…
It’s art. Minimalist art.
Today on this old bunker: Reductivism & the bulldozer.
It’s fall… maybe the landscape award was given out in the summer.
And then someone cleaned all the dead stuff out.
Or not.
*contemplates fail*
*realizez dis iz da fahlt of teh picture-taker*
The landscape is being stood in.
*yells at Who me?*
This landscape is “outstanding” the same way as in “out standing in a field” without the field. . . .
Well, it certainly stands out.
this is just like the “best parking job ever” pic
Too often landscaping schemes ignore the beauty of dirt, by covering it up with horrible green stuff. This one celebrates it, and I think they deserve the award for that.
in this case, some of that sterile dirt is hidden behind that yellow phallus.
Well, maybe they need the hydrant to water the dirt now and again: to celebrate the alluring, though transitory, beauty of mud.
(looking out the window)
yeah… mud be my friend.
OMG! John Wilkes Booth?
*jumps in the mud and rolls around in it*
*oink oink*
Hahahahaha!
In the future, one of his descendants gets into tribble.
This reminds me of the nobel prize for Obama: it was awarded hoping that it would be merited by future developments…
And the award goes to….the ugly new kid, he has a lot of potential *clap clap*
Hey, you should of heard what that landscaper was planning, it sounded really neato.
Good morning all.
*squeeze*
I feel really really sick. Right now I think I either have the swine flu or a stomach virus.
That sucks. Feel better! *squeeze*
I know how you feel, STS. I had (possibly swine) flu a two weeks ago, and had to stay at home for a week! Get well soon, ShadowTheSniper!
*sends STS card and basket of fruits*
The funny part is that I was so thirsty that I couldn’t throw-up.
I felt sick this morning too… After throwing up blue gel, live jellyfishes and worms in my dream. There were also worms in my hair. I couldn’t eat right away breakfast after i woke up.
I lied in bed for more than 12 hours most was sleeping.
Ouch… Hope you get better soon!
Thanks, and yea I just didn’t want to throw-up.
I know how you feel. Some time ago, I was really sick for a long time. It was not nice.
But I love right away breakfast!
I don’t know where you find the energy!
So few people understand the right of way breakfast. That’s why so many people crash halfway through the morning.
Right of way breakfast? Is that when you pull out all stops and go for broke?
Pedestrians always have the right of way breakfast. Except from London bus drivers.
They typically have bangers with their scrambled in the morning.
It’s too cold to be walking around without socks.
WOOPS!
*finds one sock hanging from the ceiling fan and the other under the couch*
Um…I think Agatha chewed this one a bit, but…here you go.
Heehee!!
*scritchies*
Wow – horrible Photoshopping. Who reviews these things to confirm they’re legit before posting them?
Wow – horrible Commenting. Who tries to ruin everyone’s fun?
that sign had to have been stolen from another front lawn!
Since I’m a zombie I don’t need grass where I dig in/out.
All of the other landscapes must’ve been crappy.
In other words, it was the least crappiest.
Or more crappier? Maybe “outstanding landscape” really means “hideous eyesore.”
Either way it won while being crappy.

(For those who don’t get the reference, clickie)
Sarcastic sign is sarcastic.
If *this* one won the award, I wonder what the other houses looked like. :S
It’s amazing how they pruned that shrub to look just like a fire hydrant…definitely an award winner.
Ha! xD
It saves water.
Well the fire hydrant certainly “stands out”
Pull the grass and you can WIN
Nobel worthy.
That is quite a landscaping failure right there. Or maybe someone put the sign there as a joke. Who knows?
What do you mean? I think they did a great job! You should’ve seen it before…
It’s perty.
I guess that they have labelled it the ‘WORST Landscaping Award’! Just plain barren earth and no grass!
obviously photoshop. the lettering for the ‘award’ is way too bright for the rest of the sign…noob mistake unnoticed by internet lolsheep
form the scrape
fake. so sad. tired of seeing fakes on here
Holy shit! I see a ghost!
the people who awarded this, must have nominated Obama for the Nobel peace prize.
Sarcasm win!
“”Outstanding doesn’t” have to mean “excellent,” just “highly noticeable.” I think I’m going to nominate the neighbor with all the junk in his yard for this award.
THIS LOOKS SHOPPED. I CAN TELL FROM SOME OF THE PIXELS AND FROM SEEING QUITE A FEW SHOPS IN MY TIME.
If this won the landscaping award, then i wonder what the other contenders looked like.
