I wheelie wish I didn’t have to roll out of bed this morning. It was so warm and comfy!
When my phone rang this earlier a.m. I was not too happy about it. I may crawl back into bed for a nap sometime soon.
Wheelie good pun there Avis!
Roll her into the corner!
It just rolled on by. . .
*applies circular reasoning in a round about way*
*rolls eyes*
Is too tired to pun.
(THAT one was intentional)
tyred avis?
they wheel go to hell for this
Haha, Good call Moomin.
I call dibs on the photo of the police cruiser driving over the guy in the wheelchair!
damn!
You can have the photo of the ambulance that finishes him off.
woo hoo!
Thats not very nice
Agreed.
It’s even worse when you realize that the people who designed “Stalk a Person in a Wheelchair Day” didn’t even realize that not all disabled people use wheelchairs. Completely ignoring the existence of most of a given minority has to be some kind of major fail!
Well there probably aren’t gonna be many other type of peoples with disabilities on a university campus…
osakhomen
Bipolar disorder, fibromyalgia, arthritis, dyslexia, ADD, heart disease, and that’s just the folks I can think of right off the top of my head that I went to college with – and not a single one of them was in a wheelchair, but all of them were disabled . . .
hands osakhomen back the stoopid.
Yeah screw you. I have a sever visual impairment, and that doesn’t stop me from going to college.
How about sight-impaired people? And hearing-impaired? People with mobility issues that don’t require wheelchairs? I understand they’re all allowed to go to college nowadays.
I wear glasses, do I count?
I can draw a gift certificate, all by myself.
*opens powerpoint*
*hoping it is for a free squeeze*
*gets in line for free kupn*
Right-
*hands out certificates*
No photos required for these!
And what exactly are these coupons for????
*waits for coupon* Free stuff. Hopefully something good. If not, we riot and take all her cookies.
Free squeezes, cake, coffee and pastries (not cinnamon) and happies.
CAKE!!!!! What kind of cake?
*salivates in anticipation*
Strawberry cake with cool whip frosting.
*holds out a plate*
Yes please!!!!
*Suspects the cake is a lie*
I’ll have the happies please.
Can I get custard with my cake?
*hopeful look*
Cake is delicious and moist! Go through that portal over there and you’ll find some. Ride the moving platform, it’s fun!
*waits patiently for strawberry cake*
You can get both custard and platypus!
RUN k@!!! RUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!
the cake is a lie.
now head on to the aperture science lab for testing.
I popped out to do some work, and come back to cannibalism *sniff
*produces industrial sized vat of custard*
*sits on step and cries*
*strokes hair* there there, *sniffs K@* mmmm!
*hands k@ an honest cake*
what the F!@#$#@@!!@#@!!@#$$#!#@#!###$$%
%^*(^%$%&()k are you talking abot
I prefer Strawberry Jell-O™ Cake w/ cool whip topping…yum…
That’ll work too!
Jell-O??? Doesn’t that have some kind of animal product in it?
Yes, it does. You don’t want to know what it is though.
I don’t ever eat it. It jiggles and it’s scary to me. I refuse to eat something that moves.
Do you not get vegetarian jelly over thar?
You don’t eat anything that moves, Leila? Does hubby have to hold very, very still, then?
*runs away giggling*
Brewski’s on a roll today!
Wait…that didn’t come out right…
ROFL!!!! Brewski that was a good one!
*squeeze!*
Brewski, baby, that was fantastic!
Wow, three women tell you that you were fantastic! Impressive!
*lights up faux cig*
Why, yes he was!
Chocolate, Mandarin, carrot, apple or lemon and lime cheesecake.
Mmmmmmmmm…Chocolate!!!
Sounds like your Umbongo reicpe went well wrong
My recipe went wrong too
Should have used Kia-ora. I’ll be your dog. Ruff!
Lemon and lime! mmmm
Can a late-arriving n00b have a slice?
*makes hopeful puppy-dog face*
*takes picture of self to submit*
What? I’m disabled! I’m kind of a nitwit!
*is kind AND a nitwit*
Oh…
Well, in that case…
*stands in line*
That works for me…
the CAKE is a lie!
I knew it!
*cries*
The cheesecake is a half-truth.
The cake is not a lie..
Half the lies you tell aren’t true!
*Actually has a house full of pumpkin & apple cake, bread, pie and crisp*
Mmmmm, pumpkin cheese cake. I’m a believer!
“one of us always tells the truth, the other always lies”
“one of us is made of cakes, the other of pies”
I need a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake! Mama Bird wants me to bring one with us when we go out of town.
none of us goes to the lakes, we are all spies
@ Avis: I will check with my wife. I don’t think it’s a family recipe. If not I will send it to you.
Speaking of LIES!!!!
A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: ‘Talking Dog For Sale ‘ He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.
‘You talk?’ he asks.
‘Yep,’ the Lab replies.
After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says ‘So, what’s your story?’
The Lab looks up and says, ‘Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.’
‘I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.’ ‘I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I’m just retired.’
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.
‘Ten dollars,’ the guy says.
‘Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?’
‘Because he’s a liar. He never did any of that shit.
Avis, I have a pretty good one too. And it’s easy! I’ll find it and pass it on.
WooHoo! Thanks Marius!!
And thanks to Ms B too!
@ Leila
wheelchairs
the kupns are for wheelchairs
The University of Wednesday October 14, 2 should be ashamed of themselves!
I will tell them when I go to class.
Ask them if it’s just people utilizing wheelchairs or any disability?
They answered, yes.
Wait I re-read it. That’s discrimination for other disabled people. Not nice at all!
Ah yes, home to the U of WO14,2 Legless Irish!
University has mental disability?
What in the freakin’ hell????
I think they missed the point. By a whole lot.
I’ll say.
Good morning!!!!! You’re here earlier than usual, no?
Yeah, I got up to go get coffee and walk with Mama Bird to her office, but it’s raining. So we just got coffee and she took a cab to work.
*goodmorningsqueeze*
*squeezes*
It’s been raining on and off since yesterday here too. Traffic was horrible this morning!
But doesn’t Texas need rain right now?
You’re in Houston, right? When is traffic good?
Yes, the rain is much needed here.
Girl, it gets worse when it rains. The carpool lane gets jam packed with sole drivers and causes delays. I don’t know why there is no law enforcement for those who break the rules.
Because it’s Texas. Regular rules don’t apply. They never really have.
Here you get in the carpool lane you had better have other people in the car with you! They take stuff like that very seriously here. That and liquor laws.
I mean, why put something into law if you don’t enforce it?
Some jackass was caught driving in the carpool lane, going the wrong way with a dummy in the passenger seat. He inevitably crashed head on.
Traffic was great this morning! Clear skies, long straight stretches of highway, and 100+mph!
Wait … are you being insensitive again?
*raises left eyebrow*
I guess I’m “Mr. Novocaine” today!
Aw…you know I am just teasing you.
*SmoochSorriesAndSqueeze*
*smooches*
Just drive like a drunk maniac, people will clear out of your way!
I would if I didn’t care about my car. Hehe
Sounds like the dummy was in the driver’s seat!
You are back! Glad to see I didn’t scare you off. I am usually not that mean to newcomers. Anything texan brings the ugly outta me and I shouldn’t have done that to you.
*another peace offering – cherry chocolate cake*
Must be Insensitivity Awareness Day on Failblog…
Yup. Like Brewski bragging about his excellent metabolism on the previous fail.
I think I’m glad I missed that fail. I think I’ll skip this one, too. See ya next fail!
*squeezes failpeeps*
mmmm, delicious marshmellow failpeeps, I thought they only sold them for Easter…
*nom nom nom*
Do NOT eat your fellow failers!!!
I wondered why they were all crunchy and tasted like feet
What?!
*pouts*
You know what I am talking about.
*wink. wink*
I do, but Gracie left!
*squeezes Leila*
*continues pouting*
*feels all squozed up and happy*
Now, why are you pouting?
I missed that…
*goes back to check*
Hmmm…some people have all the luck. I look at any food and gain 10 pounds!
I have hypothyroidismand I must watch what I put in my system. I think people think I am finicky just for the heck of it but I’ve got a good reason. Took me about 6 months to shed 30 lbs. I am short and I really cannot afford to gain weight.
It sucks!!!!!
I am, too, so I completely understand. Of course, I didn’t start out that way…I was on the other end of the spectrum before they ‘fixed’ it… Kind of a sucky fix, if you ask me…
Oh girl…
… I feel you. 
I work with a bunch of insensitive buffoons to top it all off. They went out to lunch and got upset with me cuz I didn’t want to go. Their thing was that now the wedding is over, there is no reason to watch what I eat. What?
There will always be people who either have no clue or choose to be ignorant. I choose to ignore them…
Just know you have a sympathetic ear here…
*thankYouSqueezes*
So, is work stressing you out? I mean losing 20 lbs is awesome but if it’s due to stress…
*youarewelcomesqueezes*
I only wish it was because of work… Don’t get me wrong: work is very stressful right now, but that’s nothing compared to…let’s just say my significant other isn’t my significant other right now…
*squeezes SuzieQ*
Want me to thwack ‘im?
Aww… *SympatheticSqueezies*
I am sorry to pry.
@Avis: He could use a good thwack, but I don’t think it would do any good. He’s just telling me he needs some time and space…yet he left me with quite a bit to handle. Because of that, I’m extremely stressed out…and I don’t eat…and I keep myself very busy.
@Lelia: Don’t feel bad…if I didn’t want to share, I wouldn’t have. He’s been gone for almost 2 months now…
*sssssqqqqquuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzeeeee*
*jumps in to squeeze w Avis*
Suzie, if you need anything, let me know.
*sniff, sniff*
Thank you both very much. Just having a place to come, laugh, and joke around a bit has been very theraputic. There are a few others on here who know a bit more, but I haven’t really said too much, only because this is supposed to be fun on here. I don’t want to be a downer…
Last downer comment: I’m in a similar situation. I come for the laughs so it’s not so hard and I don’t focus on my lack of relationship right now.
*hands empathy cookie*
It tastes like happy.
*sympathybuttersqueezes*
I’ve been through that (minus the losing 20 pounds part, anyway). I’m here if you need me.
They’re not even in the same galaxy as the point.
They misspelled wheechiair. Can’t believe it’s only been spelt right the once.
Wheeeeeee!
*snap*
*sets leg and puts granny in wheechiair*
*takes photo*
dang!
I want half of the winnings!
You got the free set of wheels out of it!
It’s like a gameshow where at the end you get to risk your winnings against what’s behind the curtain.
It was a hairy bloke with a sledgehammer
wanna swap?
*hides behind the curtain*
Careful playing with the curtains in the nude, rumour has it there’s rogue potatoes about.
beef curtains?
*grabs the peeler*
Beef Wellington?
*grabs fork*
Cows eating beef?? The horror!
Sounds like BSE is here to stay.
*milks cow*
*gets Milk of Amnesia*
AAAAHHHH!!!! MAD COW!!!
I’m a BUTTER cow. Nothing in the manual says we can’t eat our beefy cousins…
Pork trombone?
Turkey dinosaurs?
Potato smilies?
its winking at me!!!!
*runs away crying*
You don’t like it when the potato is up for it too?
bit of a turn-off – all those eyes
I thought you liked it when they watch. Oh, wait… don’t look down, right?
Your mouth says no-no, but the fries say yes-yes.
I like my vegetables…… no
Not an ex-nurse with a pig and a sledgehammer?
beating a pig with a sledge hammer can cause involuntary muscle spasms
For you or the pig?
Yes.
LOL!
*Squeals and runs away*
when you’re taking the pic – don’t forget to shout “hey, soaz! – SMILE!!!!”
or even “hey spaz”
lazy
sneezy
*squeezy*
Parcheesi?
Louise-zee
Gesundheit!
*squeeze*
Every picture submitted turned out to be Photoshopped.
I know! Amazing, isn’t it?
I have a whole bunch, it’s my hobby.
Why does that not surprise me?
Her eyes are easily turned by a man with a nice set of wheels.
as long as there’s a back seat
Do they have couch width ones for couples?
If not, dibs on the patent.
another brilliant money making scheme down the drain
I’m gonna book me a place on Dragon’s Den.
the gift certificate is for free admission to a game of murder ball
But I don’t want to play. *pout*
And ask how to get your Rascal for FREE
Out of a school of 2,000 students, they received 1,000 photos of random people sitting in wheelchairs.
The winning photo was of someone going down here:
ht tp://failblog.org/2009/01/28/handicap-access-fail/
Are they supposed to be disabled before the contest, ’cause we can use that access to add to the population.
Well they did say staff and faculty were fair game.
Snap a picture with cell phone? Not all cell phones have camera…
It might be time to trade in that dinosaur you’re carrying around then.
umpteenth.
So if someone came into the office with a self-portrait, would that be eligible?
Or would they tell him that people who have disabilities don’t need to be made aware of them?
And if he files a complaint he doesn’t have a leg to stand on?
Not to put too fine a point on it, needing a wheelchair does not necessarily mean the person is an amputee.
Not to put too fine a point on it,
say I’m the only bee in your bonnet.
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
I knew someone would do that. Have we figured out the antidote for earworms yet?
Decapitation.
*snork*
That’s a little drastic, don’t you think????
That depends on who you’re decapitating.
And the earworm.
This is true…I could think of a few…
*thinks about making butter*
*glances @ SuzieQ*
hmmm…what do you do? Just shake the cow or what? Who made butter last time?
Hey now…no shaking the cow…I’m a one-of-a-kind!!! In fact, that’s a very good way to get a mad cow…
*snerk*
Actually, talk to Judy. She made butter this weekend…
I have this experimental earworm antidote. Wanna try it?
*opens case after entering the code to unlock*
*shows Avis a vial with orange fluorescent liquid and empty syringe*
Ummmm… yeeeeaaah…. I think I’ll pass on that one. I’ll just try and come up with a new and different earworm to share with the group.
*relieved sigh*
Good thing because my last test subject didn’t … um, my cell is ringing. I gotta go!!
Aren’t the orange ones poison? I think that’s what they say over at ICHC.
Except we say “poysin.”
Yes it is, but as it was used in an explanation, I think we can let it slide. RIGHT, Leila?
*takes a deep breath*
Yes.
Right.
*snork*
, it uses up more calories!
*gives Leila a cookie*
Remember, just be
COOKIE!!!! Oh thank you!!!! Thank you.
*nom-nom-nom-
nom-nom*
Yes it was… do I need to spend some time in the Naughty Corner?
I thought that, if the curious visited ICHC and looked for the word “poison,” they wouldn’t find anything, so I supplied the search term.
However, one of my majors in college was English, and I usually use grammatically correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation while at Failblog.
*wrings hands anxiously and waits with trepidation*
No worries. Avis straightened me out.
*squeezeJM*
So I don’t have to go to the Naughty Corner?
*celebrates*
*squeeze Leila and Avis*
just follow these instructions
Haha! Harsh! I love it!
*Takes picture with Team Jetpack 104*
Only funny when it isn’t you.
*sells it on eBay*
*splits profits 14/99*
Now, is that internet math or fuzzy math???
Correct.
It’s a matter of opinion. Math in general is.
That’s true. It’s 50% opinion but 9 times out of 10, it’s just a point of view.
Precisely.
I shall keep the profits – all 1594% of them.
they see me rollin’….
They be hatin’
This sounds like something Michael Scott would do.
You’re so very right. People would *howl* at this if it happened on The Office.
Good grief, you’re so right.
I am completely jealous! The last time a squirrel came up to me it started yelling at me and my little brother! She was NOT happy. That same one threw a nut at my other brother. So, to see you guys petting those things, congrats. :l
The failures here are, as usual, the comments of my fellow users.
I don’t touch drugs, sorry.
But do you use fellows?
I believe you are free to exit as you please. Why read the comments if you don’t enjoy them?
But then wasted complaints can’t be posted, adding to the original complaint. ohhhh!
This shouldn’t be on here. It’s not a fail. Don’t you guys think disability awareness is a serious issue?
We’re aware. We already have loads of pictures.
*makes note in log book*
Yes, it does belong here.
Yes it IS a serious issue.
But encouraging folks to go around snapping pictures of others in wheelchairs might not be the best way to raise awareness.
Exactly! They should have urged their students to point at them and yell!
Encouraging sensitive and appropriate interactions with people who have a disability is even more important, IMHO.
Lets raise awareness by snapping pictures like paparazzi and not interacting with the subject. Just running off to an office for a mystery coupon.
No prizes will be awarded if you’re the one that put them in said wheelchair.
Well that sucks!!
*puts University of Wednesday October 14 student down*
That gift certificate is probably for cafeteria food anyway. You sure you want to “win” that?
This years awareness program was much better than last years “Laughing and Pointing” contest, whose winners all won a ticket straight to hell!
And hand baskets. Don’t forget the hand baskets.
I went a little crazy on the glitter on those ones over there
Ooooh… sparkly!
I have to figure that whoever made this sign had his or her heart in the right place. Just didn’t think it through very well.
You’re right, it was probably where their brains should have been!
Sounds like ZA has been rifling through his organs again…
The bad thing is, I think this picture is from my college… I think I saw this on my way to my class about Special Education this morning. They’ve got these TV screen things all over campus, and I remember seeing something a lot like this and going, “What in the world?”
…and THERE it is ladies and gentlemen!
*applauds*
*offers gilded edge certificate to catsrae*
Thank ya
*takes certificate”
Who thought that this was a good idea?
When it’s least expected – you’re elected. You’re the star today
Smile! You’re on Candid Camera!
With a hocus-pocus – you’re in focus. It’s your lucky day
Smile! You’re on Candid Camera!
It’s fun to laugh at yourself. It’s a tonic, tried and true.
It’s fun to laugh at yourself as other people do.
How’s your sense of humor? There’s a rumor: Laughter’s on its way.
Smile! You’re on Candid Camera!
Smile! You’re on Candid Camera!
I don’t get what is wrong with this. Since when is it wrong to take a picture of someone disabled?
It’s not, particularly. But it’s always been at least a little wrong to photograph a random person who’s just trying to get on with their day, especially if you don’t ask first. This is encouraging people to do just that.
Add to that, wheelchair users only account for a small proportion of people with disabilities. A disability awareness exercise that only mentions one group, specifically the group that are already most visible, is failing completely at its stated purpose. Equating disability with wheelchair use is just reinforcing an inaccurate perception that the rest of the disabled population don’t count or don’t exist. That’s the opposite of disability awareness.
It doesn’t raise any understanding about what it means to be disabled.
It encourages you to treat people in wheelchairs as objects, like a tree or any other scenery.
It does nothing to make people aware of the fact that most people with disabilities do not use wheelchairs.
It raises absolutely no awareness about the fact that a huge number of disabilities have no visible presentation at all. Many disabled people “pass”, they look like non-disabled people. And able-bodied people often treat them like crap, because there is an assumption that you should look as disabled as you are, which is ridiculous.
It encourages the views of people who do use wheelchairs as wheelchair-bound, as if the wheelchair is a part of them. A wheelchair is a tool used for mobility, just like a car is. People who use wheelchairs do not spend the entirety of their lives in the wheelchair. It isn’t the wheelchair that is relevant, but the person.
Basically, how does it raise any useful understanding about disabilities at all? And it does seem to encourage people to annoy people who use wheelchairs. Most people with visible disabilities already get enough ignorant people staring at them. More such people with cameras isn’t helpful.
Maybe the prize is a course in sensitivity training. And they consider if you did this, you need it.
Yeh but do you need a hundred people taking pics of you.
*hands Jennifer a diagram of proper Reply Button usage*
Start at the beginning, and take your time.
You may start…. now.
So it’s insensitive to prod fun at disabled folks but it’s not insensitive to bash fat people as fails? hmmmm…. FAIL.
Where are fat people bashed as fails? And no, they shouldn’t be.
Anyway, the goal of the authors of that sign was not to prod fun at disabled folks, they did it by accident, so that’s a fail either way.
Sounds like the makings of another fail site….
rick rolled?
Does anyone know what school this came from?
haha my university in virginia
RADFORD
I dun get it.
WHEEL cool!
Ok I m on my itouch rite now and I m trying to zoom in so I can take pics. And share them at school but it’s not letting me Zoom in on this website,but I can zoom in on other websites y is that?
Who in the hell thought that would be a good idea?
That is total nonsense man, whats the use there anyways?
Such incentive!
It forgot to say, “Remember to point and laugh very loudly after you snap the picture.”
hahaha!!!1!1 spot the crippled !!!1
OH i get it they want you to hunt the people and you will get bounty if you win the draw =p
