It’s a secret. Shhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
It’s a secret to everybody.
“This version of mac won’t have any problems that the last version did”
But then again, something happened..
Lol, is this the UTA lab?
no, this is Uta: ht tp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uta_Pippig
typical mac, it doesnt even know why it sux…
it’s fake- it’s alerting about a title that someone called “something happened”
You, kind sir, are correct
Don’t be too sure — I’ve personally seen error messages like this (on Windows), and others that were just as useless. “The Daily WTF”: http://thedailywtf.com/ — has many examples of such things.
It probably is fake though, it would be very easy to do. The most useless error message I ever saw was for MS Access -
‘There is an error’
Yeah? Thanks for letting me know. Though is that worse than -
‘There is no message for this error’.
I think that fails somewhat harder.
This is not fake. I saw it on a computer in my lab when I was installing software for final cut studio. I am pretty sure it is a joke placed there by a programer. I also saw an animation of a cow walk by the screen in final cut a few years ago. Someone has too much time on there hands and wrote in a little joke for us final cut users. I got a big laugh.
Yeah or better yet they opened this in applescript…..
Tell application “Final Cut Pro”
display alert “Alert title” message “Alert: Something happened” with icon 1 buttons {“Cancel”,”Okay”}
end tell
that duplicates that alert perfectly…you can tell its a fake one because Mac OS X alerts never use “Okay” they use “OK”
Well I can’t tell for sure because I don’t have Final Cut Pro, but I have read in several mac discussions that people have this problem and ask what it means. But using an applescript to display stupid messages is kinda clever…
What a coincidence! Something just happend to me too!
Something kinda ooh?
*jumps on your toot toot*
♬ There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a jam with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware ♬
Everybody look what’s going down! ^
Did you like it?
again?
“Electric Potato”?!?!
That would definitely equal a bowel full of fun for the vicar!!!
Okay Brewski…. what is your avatar actually supposed to be right now? When I log in at work, I see a face… when I log in at home, I see a blue bottle of Guiness… I’ve cleared my cache at work, so I’m confused…
it’s a chimay blue fool! (best belgian beer ever)
Like I said, I’m at work now, so all I see is a face (old avatar?), and the text on the bottle is too small to be readable when I’m at home, so I took a guess at what it was.
At the moment it’s a Chimay bottle. You apparently still have some cached images at work.
My job is actually blocking avatars now
*grumble*
JW do a refresh on your computer. Ctrl and F5 or just F5 will bring up the latest changes.
I have. And because of where I work, I have to reboot my computer every night… so I have no clue why the old avatars are locked in place…
Clear you cache and cookies.
*your
JW is cash and cookies!
*POUNCE!*
*runsawaywithaquickness*
K@ brought noms down at the bottom of the thread!
Same thing happens to me at work, jaydubbya: Brewski is a face at work, but a Chimay bottle at home. (I have the same problem with a few other of the avatars here, also.)
There are instructions on the fail peep home page on how to enlarge an avatar:

Brewski, got a clickie for you (yes, it is safe for work)… and if I could find a way to submit it to FB I would, but it’s hosted on Yahoo not on Youtube!
Found the same video on Youtube… fun fun. I just like the one on Yahoo because it has English commentary.
Submit it! That’s a good one. Yeesh, talk about drowning in booze.
I did.
I wouldn’t want to drown, but I do like the idea of reclining and letting ones troulbles melt away. (clicky).
I specifically like the link to Yahoo because they make sure to say that the guy was okay and that only about $150k worth of Russian Vodka was harmed in the filming of the incident.
*sniffle* All those potential creamsickles..just gone.
Talk about alcohol abuse!
I have, just yesterday.
*snork*
I did read btw. And laughed. Hard.
As a sober Brit, I never got myself into any of those ridiculous situations. Must be a German thing.
pbbbbt
*snork!*
I could tell you more stories like that… I did lots of incredible stupid stuff when I was younger. Surprises me that my body isn’t more damaged.
No, I think the damage was mostly confined to your mind!
Are you the only one of your kind jam?
There must be others, I just never met them.
My Husband has a 3 single rums, or 1 beer maximum, on a maximum of 2 nights in any 7 days, thats pretty close to T total here!
My mom was an alcoholic and prescription drug addict when I was growing up. So I don’t find drunk stories quite as amusing. (Although Arthur’s experiences were pretty crazy!
As they say in AA, thanks for sharing!)
I don’t drink because I don’t like feeling altered in any way. I’m silly enough without the help, thankyouveddymuch! It was such a waste for me to live and work in Napa Valley.
One glass of wine and I am giggly for hours. When the buzz wears off then it’s like, that wasn’t worth it at all.
Hmm, I don’t get it :/
Anyways, the nick comes from the attack “Galactic Tornado” from Rufus (Street Fighter 4) where I always understood “Electric Potato” which clearly fits better to Rufus’ appearance.

Besides FinalCut fail it’s SCREENSHOT fail
The guy is using a mac. We can’t expect them to know how to use a computer.
Macs are so helpfull! You’d never get windows telling you that ’something’ happened!
The only good Mac is a BIg Mac…
Mmmmmmm!
You’re right… with Windows, you get a message that says ‘Error” and has a long, meaningless code.
There is nothing meaningless just not the right answers.
Hopefully someone will understand the code. Who understands “Something Happened?”
Hehe..thats usually how I explain it…”honey..come look at my comp!” “Why?’ “I dunno, something happened!”
Anniebunny, where do you disappear to? It’s good to see you.
*SqueezesTheBunny*
Work, family. Sometimes I get to sleep! I lurk at work sometimes, but its in the middle of the night.
*squeezesTheLeila*
Sometimes you get to sleep? What kind of work do you do if you don’t mind me asking?
I am a night auditor at a local hotel. I work my regularly scheduled nights, and I fill in when others are sick or on vacation. Plus April (my daughter) does not drive yet, so I take her to classes, and run Matt (my son) and his friends back and forth from school to practice and whatnot. There’s alot of loud whatnot going on most of the time.
*squeezes*
I have all that to look forward to. My kiddywinks are 10 & 8.
Sit back and enjoy it Gracie. It’s cliche’ but they grow up soooooooo fast!! I miss my girl being my baby girl.
Annie, you have your hands full. You need a break sister.
Yours are 10 and 8? Mine was 4 weeks this past Tuesday.
I like that they still run to greet me when I get home from work, and in the morning they cuddle with me for a bit before getting ready for school. Believe me, I’m enjoying every minute of it!
You all just reminded me that I have two birthday parties to plan a week apart! Gottagobye!
Just don’t accidenty a urinal cake.
Amazon CLICKIE Ms B. They have WALL-E cake pan.
Thanks, Leila! Ordering now!
not I. I can’t even figure out how to get my mac to sing.
I’m glad at least no flame wars have broken out yet. Applescript generated error dialogs ftw!
Wait what am I saying? SOMEONE START A FLAME WAR NOW.
“We didn’t start the flame war, it’s been always burnin’ since the worlds been turnin’ ”
LOL
Something happened *again* and I wasn’t there to see it. :pout: I miss all the fun.
Oh well. *squeeziesfomahFailPeeps*
Look! Over there!! It just happened again!!
Sorry, you missed it.
*squeeze*
*squeeze back* you did not miss a thing you are the thing..LOL
Something’s gonna happen…right…NOW!
Did you see it?

Garnet, how tall can you be and still ride the rides at your amusement park?
5′5″ and under, typically. We may have one or two for taller people/most sizes.
Sweet!! I’m 5′3″. The children have grown so much taller I just reach their armpits now. It makes hygiene a dominant topic.
So 5′5″ is considered to be short?
Compared to 6′ 2″ yes, but short is good my wife is 5′4″ and it just means she is easier to toss into bed.
:lol and
I am only 5′ 1/2″…I guess I am midget to you if your wife at 5′4″ is short.
If it makes you feel better Leila, you’re still an inch and a half taller than my mom.
*stuts by at 5′7″*
But I feel short next to the hubby who’s 6′7″.
Stuts? Isn’t that a car?
Ms B I must tackle/tickle you cuz you are just being a show off now.
*TacklesMsBto theGround and Tickles*
*squeeze*
Stop! Stop!
Great, now I need a ShamWow. SuzieQ!
She must be bear[cat]ly awake this morning.
*brews strong pot of coffee for Ms B*
MsB: 6′7″?!
Now I feel short.
Wow, the ONE day I’m absolutely swamped at work…
*nanosecondsqueezestofailpeeps*
I bet Leila’s cute at 5′ 1/2″. Never feel bad about who you are.
As they say on VeggieTales, “God made you special and He loves you very much!” I love that talking tomato and cucumber!
*imagines a 5′ tall chocolate lava cake and drools*
With most people around me being 5′7″ and up, I wanted a nice range average to short.
Yaaaaay! I’m 5′4″. I like rollercoasters. Do you have any really extreme thrill rides?
(extreme thrill rides – ::: insert granny comment here ::: )
*snork* Where is granny today?
place in southern Ohio has a deep-sixer for those with heart problems… granny is prolly walking down electric avenue with the electric company looking for joan rivers. …
That’s Ceder Point, right? I want to go there.
Very extreme! We’ll have you panting and begging for more. You’ll find yourself flipped into positions you didn’t now were possible.
Does this person know about screenshots?
Yes, that’s why he took the picture before he blew up his laptop.
could’ve probably taken a picture to make it look real, while the truth may have been that the error message was done by a programming language like visual c. although that picture looks like it’s on a mac. so i dunno. whatever.
This is computerese for PHOTOSHOPED!!!!!11!! pIXeLZ!!1 sHADOWZ!!
No, it isn’t. What I meant to say was that he was probably hiding the fact that he made the error message look like a fail- that he MADE the error message (using a programming language).
Thats what he said
I meant exactly what you just said.
And I was just kidding around. We get these posts every day. “That’s faked!” “That’s a photoshop!” Stick around a while and you’ll see what I mean.
And someone is bound to say it’s a “win” for anti macs or whatever.
Please… PCs have much better error messages.
hehe… once had an executable set up as a spoof “gift from Coca-Cola”… You ran the program, and it thanked you for your support to the Coca-Cola company, and by way of thanks, they would send you a free gift. You click “okay” to accept the gift, and out pops your CD tray on your computer and a message box pops up that says “here’s your free cup holder.”
One of my faves:
“Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my hard drive?”
Is “reading my hard drive” code for something?
*SQUEEZEtoTheBlueBottle*
*squeeze!*
Clickie!
Clickie????
You know how I feel about ‘em.
It’s kinda hard to find you since you turned blue.
I may change back. Maybe I should put it to a vote? I never intended Dave Thomas to be permanent, it just kinda happened.
I vote you keep your current. Faces of dead non-presidents freak me out. Especially Andy Warhol.
I’m all for your old you.
What?! Dave Thomas isn’t dead. Is he?
It’s your duty to keep him alive.
I vote for Dave Thomas, but this time make it the founder of Wendy’s.
In the end, it’s the person makes the avatar.
Huh? I thought it was the naked dancing and goat sacrifice that made the avatar?
Did someone say naked dancing?
Those certainly play a part.
(*marshmallow squeeze*)
*swears at sticky backed plastic, glitter and pasta*
*Looks over at AA*
I wish someone had told me that before I came here!
So what you’re saying Admiral, is,”That which we call a Brewski. By any other
nameface would smell as sweet.”♫ I don’t practice Santeria
I ain’t got no avatar . . . ♫
GS, you can smell through your computer? Good thing I shower every day!
I vote for the Chimay bottle too!
In all seriousness, I find avatars that are faces, that aren’t the actual person’s face, to interfere somewhat with allowing the person’s personality to dominate the avatar. But it has to be a face, AE’s avatar, for example, doesn’t suffer from this. In general, the more symbolic the avatar the better, in my opinion, for creating an unfettered identity.
I’ll be honest AA, I hadn’t really thought about it that deeply.
*ponders an avatar change*
“No one can keep a mask on long.” One’s true personality oozes out eventually.
and that’s no bull.
moooooo. …
I am now wondering what my avatar really symbolizes? What does chocolate oozing out of a cake and a few strawberries have to do with me?
*goes off to do some soul searching*
One morning I woke to find on my PC “A fatal error has occurred. The keyboard is unrecognizable. Press any key to continue.” Let me say I am not a morning person so my brain was still asleep. So I pressed a button, unplugged and replugged the keyboard, and then shut the thing down. My boyfriend, at the time, laughed his ass off when I told him. Guess who put it on the desktop?
your mother? she’s a beast… just sayin’
She’s a bowel of fun!
Lol, I know exactly where you’re coming from! You should see me before I have coffee. I’m a total zombie.
Oh if I could get that and run it on my spousal unit my life would be complete.
Gets annoying after a while, doesn’t it?
I sent it in– it’s not a fake. The computer isn’t networked to any other ones, nor does it have internet access. I just took a picture of the message on my phone. Had to get fairly close so you could see the letters. So sorry, no photoshop here.
Jane, you’re being deceptive, or are just a bit confused: It’s not a photoshop job, it’s the work of a prank: done either by you, for failblog, or by someone else who uses that machine. Such an error message can EASILY be generated by anyone with ANY amount of knowledge of Applescript. Example: http://grab.by/iU3
I assure you I have nowhere near that amount of computer knowledge. If you’re insistent that it’s fake, just go to google, type in “alert, something happened” and see for yourself that it’s an actual error message on Final Cut.
thats easy, just build an error/confirmation for a website and insert the message u want it to say. it only take a couple lines of code
It’s probably just Applescript. Just a simple tell application “appnamehere” … blah blah blah
You know, I might get a stupid error message on my PC and say “look its a dumb message” post it, and some guy simply calls it fake just because you can make custom errors, Sure you can, I’ve done it, its funny, but that doesn’t mean any other odd or silly message is “faked” tho I must say, its not hard to try get a fail up here…
*runs into the room*
Something has happened
*runs out again*
OMG, call someone quickly.
*Calls 911*
Me: help! something has happened!
Operator: Please state the nature of your emergency.
Me: Well, uh, I dunno. . .a custard platypus just ran in the room and told me something happened.
-silent pause-
(. . .to be continued?)
cont….
Operator: Do you need help DITH.
-silent pause-
Everybody else in the room listening on speaker phone: More than you could possibly know…
What’s the fuss about?
I just accidentied the frisbee.
I wondered where the welt on the back of my head came from…
*yanks frisbee away from the platypus*
*scrapes off excess custard*
*throws back to k@*
Be more careful next time, young lady!
I wonder how long the operator will stay on with DITH? Will something else happen?
‘k
*squeeze*
*runs off to find more mischief*
It’s more fun if you just let mischief find you.
all I hear is David Cassidy singing that song. …
no… wait… sounds like… Frampton.
You know it’s alright somethin’s happening
Hold tight it might be lightning
Turn up the lights somethin’s moving
♫C’mon, get happy!!♫
I did an accidenty and the funny thing is, no one noticed. I called K@ a platypus, but today she is a fairy. Not a platypus, not a wombat, a fairy!
Maybe custard platypus wasn’t such a mistake! So I’m thinking, other than calling 911 for a rather bogus reason it wasn’t so bad. And, who knows, maybe the officers who take me away will be cute!
*pats DITH’s shoulder*
Good luck with that.
if you don’t know how to take a screenshot, then probably you deserve an alert like that.
I mean: do you REALLY think you would have been able to understand further informations?
I don’t think so.
last sentence, first three words… yes. yes, I see you are right.
Don’t know which idiot did that. It’s more of submitter fail. Obviously fake.
omg, that makes this picture so much not funny.. lets flame the submitter! *Roars into war*!
This is why I love Macs. The fanbois provide so much entertainment.
ALERT : Good morning all!!
ALERT: 5 eagles will be tickled in 5…4…3…2… *tickles 5 eagles*
Be ALERT,

Are thick as a warthog’s backside.
But thick as you are,
PAY ATTENTION! ♫
No tickling in 3 2 1 . It hurts when I get tickled.
Even with a feather?
5 eagles! What happened to the cornucopia I gave you! You need to change your seasonal decorations, you know.
*swaps out plastic skeleton for cornucopia*
Its there Gracie actually I changed it this morning on a prevoius fail but I could spell cornucopia (copying yours) so I said horn of plenty??.
Works for me!
*squeeze*
You have to follow the retail example and start putting out Christmas stuff now LOL.
Nope. My unwritten rule is that Christmas stuff doesn’t come out until after Thanksgiving. And then, I usually leave it up until just after New Year’s.
Thanksgiving is over with here in Canada.
You mean… I missed the pumpkin pie?
*sobs*
What’s pumpkin pie in Canadia?

Ooh I say!

At least your documents are hot off the press!
If you need a copy, we can burn them.
don’t worry, it’s just jammed.
…hopefully.
Alert: It is happening again…that something LOL
whew, im so reliefed seeing that “LOL” at the end.. didnt know what to think of your comment, thank God for ‘LOL’!
LOL wil save us all.
nooo! that’s what it WANTS you to think. LOL is the antichrist.
I thought that I will be a good little Loltheist (is that even a word?), and now I’m confused.
so that’s what happened!
No Miley Cyrus is the Antichrist
Have a donut. I brought hot chocolate, too.
No need to thank me.
What? No chocolate cake?
That’s an error box from Automator. Automator is a programming …program… that allows you to create error messages. The default text looks like that. FAIL on Failblog’s part.
Actually it isn’t. Try googling the error message
Also I don’t think you could have the final cut icon if you did it with automator.
Based on the Apple Support forum, it’s real.
That’s what i meant. Still very weird though
Didn’t mean to reply to you. I meant Drumrobot. You should read the forum. They are trying everything to figure out what it is.
maybe they would have better results if they try something?
Adding something to the something that has happened apparently makes more something. Wild!
… sounds like the 3rd grader’s description of health class. …
They already found the solution. In case anybody cares you need to remove the alert start up item on the accounts preferences pane.
Why isn’t this one’s title “Alert Fail”?
just to make you ask questions…
Print Screen Fail.
+1, but on a Mac, it’s not PrintScreen, it is Cmd+Shift+3 (for a full screen screenshot); other numbers are for the active window, etc.
there’s a thread here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=972768
Reminds me of this: cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=554847488
Whoa! No way!
Just so y’all know, the only thing that says “alert: ” on osx is the alarm clock, so, this dude must have actually set this up which is a little sad.
and, screenshots are easy, this person is fail all by themselves
Sorry, you lost me after “y’all”.
Come with me Leila, I’m not lost, just wandering aimlessly.
*follows Annibunny*
Where are we going?
There’s a birthday party somewhere..I heard they have a vat of whipped cream AND a canister of helium.
What on earth could we possibly do with a vat of whipped cream and canister of helium?
High pressure enemas. Hey, it’s just an idea!
Eeep! I’m regular! I don’t need one!
*speedsaway*
I am vegetarian. ‘nuf said!!!

*runsawaywithaquickness*
I don’t blame you. AE is in one of his kinky moods again.
At least he’s not shagging and eating sheep.
Aren’t you supposed to eat them first THEN shag them?
I am not advocating sheep consumption by any means.
The strident prosecutor begins:
”Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the State will prove that this defendant did in fact discard his breeches and insert his member into the innocent sheep; that he did ejaculate into said sheep and remove his member, whereupon this sheep turned around and licked his member clean.”
Then one member of the jury turned and whispered to the other juror and said, ”The good ones will do that you know.”
Ewwww! Jules!
I didn’t know Arthur was taken to court.
I didn’t know Granny was in the jury!!!
It’s disturbing all around.
*records court proceedings*
You are at Fail Blog. The possibilities are endless!
Let’s send him a formal invitation.
I’ll have to find out if he has internet at home. But then, I haven’t been able to access my “borrowed” internet lately.
*sigh*
How do you borrow internet?
One of my neighbors has an unsecured wireless network that I can access from the west end of my house. It hasn’t let me bring up any pages lately, though, so either it’s been shut off or they’re on to me!
Don’t you just hate neighbors that won’t share?
Mean, rotten neighbors!
*passes Leila an extra “e”*
It kind of reminds me from the dog from the movie ‘UP’. I almost expect another message saying ‘SQUIRREL!’

SQUEEZE!!!
*return squeeze*
Sir, are you not happy with the squeeze? Can you tell us the reason you are returning it? Is there something wrong with the squeeze?
You do know we don’t give refunds. All squeezes are final.
It’s too small.
Can I return it for a larger size?
*relieved sigh* Oh yes, you can do an exchange.
*gives larger size squeeze to Jules*
SQUEEEEEEEEEEZE
UP is on my Neflix list. I can’t wait to see it.

I have always been inclined to lean that way.
Me too.
Ear Scratches?

Isn’t that what I just did?
Happy birthday. How many bumps do we have to give you?
well… as some would say, I was spawned 27 years ago today… Others would say I was hatched… and yet others would be more polite and say I was inflicted upon the world.
*grabs your ankles*
Help… someone get his arms!
Wait!!!! this happened to me before… somebody get my cell phone out of my pocket (never ever ever ever leave expensive electronics in your pockets when celebrating a special day near a pool/hot tub/large puddle)
*grabs arms*
And a bumpy bumpy we go!
Heavy bugger, isn’t he? :p
My arms hurt now!
Mine too.
Hot tub?
I can’t get my finger wet. You’d be surprised how much bother that’s causing me.
I meant should we throw him in!?
Ah well, you now have more info than you really needed.
Brewski had some whipped cream to throw him into. He seems keen to be in there.
*tosses JW*
*flings*
*grabs arms*
*wraps duct tape around JW’s hands*
I have his arms! Now what? Shall we throw him into that huge open vat of whipped cream that just happens to be sitting 6 feet away?
As usual, you’re late to the party! :p
Meh. And I brought all this beer, too.
Guess I’ll just have to drink it all myself.
Please yourself. I don’t drink. :p
BWAHAHAHA! That was a good one! A sober Brit!
*wipes tears*
*pokes Arthur*
Oi! We aren’t all like our ambassadors abroad……for which I am truly sorry!
Did I miss a drunken ambassador? On the other hand, judging by groups of British tourists I regularly see, that would be an appropriate representation…. :p
They are who I was referring to, Yick!
If you’re travelling around, you represent your country to others. This is how generalisations occur.
At least I think that’s what K@ meant.
I see. But there’s no need to be sorry, we generally had a good time with ‘em. Some have to learn the hard way that it’s not a brilliant idea to piss off the locals when you’re abroad…
(Oh, and I know for sure that Germans abroad can be horrible, too. Often.)
Thankfully, American tourists always represent their country so well! Patient, understanding, tolerant…a model for other countries to emulate!
Jam is Psychic…….wow!
Speaking of which, I left you another drunken-Arthur story. Dunno if you saw it.
Yep!
I could tell a couple more drinking stories of my own, but I’ll take the fifth. No pun intended.
*gives Brewski a fifth*
*squeeze*
Perfect timing, Gracie, the clock just ticked over to noon!
*good-afternoon-squeeze*
when a man drinks beer all by his lonesome, something usually happens.
Well Brewski, I wouldn’t want you to be burdened with all of that beer.
*passes beers to Scott and kraut*
It’s 5 somewhere!
*votes for the tub of whipped cream*
and here I was going to give you some extra pants today, Brewski…
Happy Birthday, JW! In honor of your birthday, I will not steal your pants today.

What happened?
Well, I know something happened…
happy birthday JW this is the only place I could jump in.
I think he just did.
*cuts confetti*
*tosses cake*
…Wait
That would only work if it contains cream.
Coffemate, bavarian or coconut?
coffeemate?? blech!!!
It is ‘cream’ isn’t it?
I think it wants to be cream when it grows up.
What turns you off exaclty? Is it the corn syrup solids? The mono and diglycerides? The sodium aluminosilicate? The artificial flavor? The partially hydrogenated coconut?
Sounds painful for the coconut…
the fact that it is not milk… this may sound udderly ridiculous but farmers need you to buy real cream for your coffee!! Not that chemically processed junk called coffeemate.
The calories. Trying to lose weight without going on the Biggest Loser.
I understand. I cannot have coffee without cream it seems. I quit sugar but I can’t quit cream. Coffee is just too bitter without…something.
I found some of those flavored syrups that fancy coffee places use for coffee at my grocery store… and they’re sugar free. If we have ‘em in Podunk, NE, you should have them somewhere, too.
Have you seen the amounts of weight they gain back? Not as successful as one would hope for all the trouble.
Haven’t seen that. Ali from a couple of seasons ago has been back a few times, and she still looks great! That’s what I’m shooting for. Get my out-of-shape butt in shape and keep it that way.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JW!!!
Are you doing anything special to celebrate or are you just going to let something happen?
Honestly… I’m slightly concerned with what my wife has planned for me… all week she’s been glancing at me, saying she can’t wait for Thursday, and then cackling ominously…
Maybe something will happen. Then you can tell us what it is.
Yeah. We wanna hear all about it.

You must work for my mortgage company.
*raises eyebrow*
Are you saying that your mortgage company deals in fertilizer?
They made me sign piles of bullsh1t forms. Does that count?
“Sign this to indicate that you acknowledge signing the prior form that vouches for your signature indicating that you read paragraph 34, which indicates all signatures must be in chartreuse ink unless otherwise approved with a signature waiver form, in triplicate.”
I usually know to have my right hand do a lot of push ups before I go close on a house. Gotta be in shape to sign all those ridiculous documents.
Well, I was thinking about buying a house within the next year or two.
Go into training now. I recommend waxing 10 cars using cottonballs held with chopsticks. That’ll get the hand-strength up!
*takes notes*
Would it do the same thing if I just wax my car 10 times?
Where do you live Gracie? My car needs a good wash.
Podunk, Nebraska. How long will it take you to get here?
What are we looking at? At least 800 miles? I will be there in a couple of hours.
Nah, just seen one too many contracts and worked with corporate lawyers for many years. *sigh*
Yeah, Happy Birthday!
*birthdaysqueezies*
♪ Happy Happy Birthday, JW, dear!
Happy things will come to you all year!
If I had a wish, then it would be,
A Happy Happy Birthday to you from me! ♫
Happy Birthday JW! Sorry I can’t take part in the cream bath party, but I hope you have a fun fun day.
Why not?
Lactose intolerant?
LIES!!!
You’re kidding! Today is my little brother’s birthday too!
No Shadow — he is :[ Birthdays are nothing to joke about.
Happy Birthday to Shadow ©’s little brother!!!!! :[
And this is why I hate macs. They never tell you what the error was.
Macs have errors
Those commercials lied!
That’s what’s great about PCs. They fail so often that there is a great wealth of “how do I fix this stupid error” sites on the internet.
With a Mac, there isn’t that much online help, so it’s usually easier to just go and get a new one.
never had a problem with mac online help (gotta go to the “genius” site), but help for a pc? the last one I just let be. and got me a mac. not a problem since.
mine never errs, just the operator.
Can we replace him? Take him in for servicing?
that’s… like… a personal question?
Errors are to Macs as advancing American tanks are to the Iraqi Information Minister
You put them on inside out.
Don’t forget to shake them.

Unfortunately being a programmer, I hesitate with this one. I have created an alert like this for a mini assignment.
Aww what the heck. Way to be specific ya damn alert. Please notify me the next time something happens.

There’s stuff happening over there, sir.

Um… something just happened at my work. Somebody is knocking on the roof. WTF?
He is trying to break his glass floor and get to the social class he is accustomed to.
We had to have guys shovel the roof at the last place I worked. The roof was on the exposed west side of an old school (those who live in the Ohio, Indiana, Michigan area know what hazards an exposed west wall can cause). The furnace kept icing over (stupid roof top furnace units) and the ice got so thick on the roof that when it melted we had a waterfall in the middle of the room (not good when we’re all on $2k computers), so they had to shovel the roof every time it snowed.
Yep, very common out here. Last winter we had several feet of snow. My neighbor’s house got flooded, due to ice dams and an improperly built home addition. My attic flooded, and the water drained down into my living room. Urgh.
My roof is way too high and too steep to clear without killing myself.
What is this ’snow’ you speak of?
Umm… it looks a lot like cotton… except a heck of a lot colder… and wet… and… I’m going to stop before I say something I may or may not regret later…
ROFL!
I’ll gladly ship some to you, Leila. Of course, we haven’t gotten any yet this year…
When you ship it and I open it, will it mimick falling from the sky and stuff?
Only if you hold the box upside down over your head.
But by then it may be either melted, or one solid frozen lump… so holding it over your head may be slightly painful.
So I will either end up wet or with a concussion.
Sounds like most of my nights out!
*snorkroffle!*
k@ … what the heck is it you get yourself into?
Details please…
MMM?
I miss snow I grew up in Western New York. Usually all we get is frost scraping and a whisk-broom clear. Happy Birthday btw.
is it christmas eve yet?
Fake.
Anyone with even a tiny amount of vbscript can make one of these.

I thought you were a F*&%ing ShamWow?
Yeah, well I could do w/o the colorful metaphors…besides, I like badass better.
I was wondering if you were providing a window to the inside of your life. …
TeeHee. I think it’s called Applescript.
How do I change the picture? Where are the ‘motacons? Why didn’t I listen to my programmer husband instead of playing “The Girl from Ipanema” in my head?
you would be better served listening to herman and his hermits:

Something just happend at work!!! Someone is hacking a lung in the cube over from where I am.
*searches for ear plugs*
Don’t forget the hand sanitizer and the mask!
It’s the type of cough that doesn’t need to be loud necessarily. GAH!!!! She drives us nuts.
The woman whose desk faces mine is forever coughing without covering her mouth. Pisses me off that she’s spreading her germs to everybody that way. Good thing I take vitamins and have Golden Seal. I hate being sick!
As a hint, someone left her a bag of cough drops at her desk. Maybe you should do that with your germ spreader too. Of course, if she is anything like this one here, she won’t get the message and will eat the cough drops as if they were candy in a meeting.
I have forwarded emails from my sister (who works at the health department) on the importance of covering your nose & mouth when you sneeze/cough, but it doesn’t help.
Whirly Birds new beau has a coughing problem, though his is legitimately come by. Inhaling rubber dust while it’s aflame can do a number on your throat. No, he didn’t do it on purpose.
Sounds painful.
I can only assume that it was. I need to ask Whirly Bird if I can nickname him KFC. She may not go for that though.
oh, sorry. didn’t mean to be so loud. I’ll be done with the hacking in a few days. or weeks.
You’ll thank me later.
oh, no I will not. It’s gonna take tons of bbq sauce and beer before my system gets over all the anti-bitchotics I’ve put into it the past couple of weeks.
*scowls @ sauer* Have it your way mister! If you get one of us sick we will have no choice but to strip you and hose you down with Purell.
Make sure you eat some yogurt and/or take some pro-biotics to get your system back in shape!
(Caveat: I’m NOT a Doctor but I play one on Webcam occasionally. . .that or naughty nurse or candy striper. . .whoa did I say that out loud?!?)
Yogurt is a regular item on the menu, sickness or no.
I’m sorry! I’m recovering from the piggy pukes!
*runs away crying*
Aw! I am sorry Ms B. At least you have a good reason. I think this woman does it just for the heck of it. She’s been doing it for the past 6 months.

“something happened”… that’s all the typical Mac user has ever needed to know. I guess the “bomb” icon isn’t as well-received in these fearful times.
I posted one with this a while ago it didn’t get on, wtf, though mine was for garageband not imovie
Don’t take it personally, Ben.
I blame Joseph Heller.
And the rest of us blame Arthur.
Arthur’s as Good As Gold.
Not Platinum?
God Knows I would have luvvved to have been part of this (failed) pun run! Dang it all! That you, Moomin, for trying.
Picture this…really, the screen was captured with a camera.
Hey, we got it going again! Too bad it’s almost Closing Time for this Fail.
What kind of trap did the camera set?
Because the computer isn’t networked to anything else…not even a printer. No way for me to capture the screen and send it anywhere else. Camera was really the only option…and yes, it was a real error message. Nothing faked about it.
As a computer service technician, this is a prime example of my complaint about Macs vs. PCs…
When something goes wrong with a Mac, it is either completely silent about it or gives a very generic error message which could mean a thousand different things. This is epic fail.
At least PCs (usually) tell you exactly what is wrong, and provide useful, Googlable error messages. While this may not be win, at least it gives you a starting path away from pure fail.
Yeah, but just how often does something go wrong with a mac?
Indeed. If something goes wrong, it’s usually a badly made program.
Of course, when it does go wrong, boy does it go wrong!!!!
Speaking of going wrong, any word on the PTB on the glitches you were having? Are they website related, or is your Mac messed up?
No word yet. Still wonky.
Bummer. Hopefully it’ll all get fixed soon.
Oh dear. We must do something about this!
*gooses Shadow*
Did that help?
It’s hard to say. I think something happened. Not sure what though.
Well will you find out and let us know please?
i dont know what’s worse: the obvious fail of the message box or the fact that, whoever submitted this picture, actually used a camera to take a picture of the screen
C. All of the above.
I disagree to agree.
More like: “Taking a Screenshot Fail”
The pop-up alert.
Now we know “something happened.”
O, technology.
The pop-up really is just an illusion.
nice screen shot there, mac user.. reminding us all that dumb people do whatever the advertising tells them to do.
Lol, Mac users… always good for a fail
I am going to be the first one to call BS. Heck, even I can make that happen!
Here’s a screenshot of a version I made in 2 minutes using AppleScript.
http://lrflew.ismywebsite.com/Screen%20shot%202009-11-05%20at%201.16.47%20PM.png
I could get the font correct if I tried.
What do you think? BS or not?
urmm…that’s the main wallpaper for the Mac OS on the background…so it’s not FAIL….just mac
This is proof that Macs aren’t perfect. Take that crazy Mac fans! I have a PC and it is better!
Ahhh, now I have one of my favo(u)rite (and greatly underrated) Beatles songs of all time stuck in my head…
Which one is that?
“Anna”, from their first album. Excellent vocals by John, although not all the critics agree.
ht tp://www.last.fm/music/The+Beatles/_/Anna+(Go+to+Him)
Critics, schmitics! I liked it!
*squeeze*
Yay! *squeeze*
Isn’t it also fun to find a quiet corner in the blog amidst all the noise in the main room?
Can’t say that I’ve ever done it before, but I like it.
It’s an error error!
Notice that it’s on a MAC.
ever here of a screenshot?
oops… “hear” … guess i’m just as dumb
Wow. Anti-Xyzzy.
I’d like to comment on this picture. First: Apple does not use “Okay” for their OS. They use “OK” or “Dismiss”. Second. The Alert Box title is “Alert Title” Meaning that the poster was using Interface builder to build an error box. (Interface builder is the way to build the error boxes and general UI in OSX.)
Third the display is a CRT which implies this is an old machine or an Old Monitor
Very Fake.
Yep thats right on the money, this one is so fake. The Okay is a dead give away. Im guessing they used a camera to try to make it seem real, so it wouldn’t appear photoshopped.
Bit of ‘quality’ control needed here.
I’m such a debby downer, I know, but that alert was made by someone using apple script. It’s not a legit error.
the real fail is the Mac user who uses a camera to take a freaking screenshot
and people tout mac as something great, yet the alert doesn’t even say wtf is happening.. atleast windows does..
…When it does. Half the time, it just crashes the whole computer.
Take that!!!
What happen?
the porn movie cant play
That’s a Mac for ya.
FINAL CUT PRO FTW. seriously, that’s the greatest program out there.
what program is this in??? final cut pro? LOL
this fail should be removed cuz its faaakin fake >:(
Ever heard of the screenshot button?
O RLY?
YA RLY
NO WAI
WAI
Screen capture fail.
OH MY GOD WE HAVE SOMETHING, I DON’T KNOW WHAT, BUT YEAH….
a bunch of them here:

Never choose ok button
wow, you blame macs for a shit programmer? nice
It just go to show – apple really is retarded.
Well, if you say that they’re retards, at least they know how to get the money rollin’ in.
