Well, I can walk, but I certainly can’t dance.
I can’t dance, I can’t sing.
I’m just standing here selling everything.
*squeeze*
You can dance if you want to…
Oh, wait.
you can leave your wheels behind…
And take a dump right there…
Why would he want to take your home? Where will you go?
♬ Get up, stand up… ♬
Erm. No. Sorry.
Would the real slim shady Please stand up!
*spins BFF round in his wheelchair* wheeeee!
oh, and i just met another ‘bondfan’ on the PS3! an impostor!
WHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOA
*dives out of wheelchair*
*walks dizzily around*
*steadies self*
*squeezes Loz*
Welcome back! How has life been going for you? An imposter you say?
…
I’ll be right back.
See what nostalgia can bring? Rael last night and now Loz and k-k-k-katy. Is POB far behind?
When three go, three come back! It’s like Christmas already! It would be even better if WN, Brewski and Emp came back, saying it was all a joke!
It’s kind of like when I moved to NJ. They always asked why I would leave Florida for NJ. I said “for every one of you that goes there, one of us has to come here to keep the balance”
what happened to WN Brewski and Emp? i miss my POB
i’ve missed you all! life has been going well thank you, ups and downs as ever. what about you two? *HUGS*
I just started coming back a week or so ago. Lots going on here in my world that had me more than a little distracted. WN, Brewski and Emp have all left in the last couple of days. It has been sadness on FB
The trio have gone, very sadly. I guess they’re moving on to greater things…
Anyway, my life’s been going pretty well so far. I’ve got exams at the end of this year, and GCSEs by next term! It’s pretty nerve-wracking stuff, and the coursework hasn’t helped either. Who knew Geography coursework could destroy an entire half term?
Heh, I can help you with GCSE geography! Which exam board, AQA? It’s definitely a nerve-wracking period, but I have faith that you’ll do splendidly
that’s a shame they’ve left, it seems to be the way of things round here. the old crew was fantastic in its hey day!
Really? I think it is AQA. That would be fantastic, but I suppose you’re way to busy with your university work! How is uni going? Aw, thanks for the compliment!
All those abbreviations make your comments look like some sort of lolspeak.
Hello Loz!
*waves*
It’s like stepping into a time warp.
*squeeze*
Let’s do the time warp again.
If I may politely ask, have you changed your opinion of FB’s status now?
No no, I graduated in July!
No more education for this girl. For now…
If you need help I could gladly assist! I remember those days well.
(Assuming you’re replying to me)
Oh, really? I guess I’m not really up-to-date on FB member news. Congratulations, anyway! What subjects did you graduate on?
Did you, now? What was the coursework like for you?
My degree was in Geography, Archaeology and Palaeoecology. And thank you!
If I remember correctly, one of the bits of coursework was going out and measuring the discharge of a river, and the other was to do with land-use in an urban area. I still have my GCSE geography school books, believe it or not!
So, all the exciting subjects, eh? I wanted to be an archaeologist when I was little, and no, that wasn’t because of Indy and his Lost Ark. I’m sure you’re going to have a brilliant career ahead of you!
We’re done with rivers in my year, thank god, and now we’re onto the “Future of the UK Manufacturing Industry”. Riveting stuff. Right now, we’re studying a steelworks in Southern Wales – Port Talbot, to be exact – and why it survived. The coursework, though, involved going to Bromley (not the most cheerful place on earth) and taking surveys, maps and pedestrian counts, on the subject of land use, as you said. And I’ve only done the first draft! We’re supposed to do a SECOND, final edition by December. AAAAAARGHHHHH!!!
Am I purposely being ignored?
Oh, no, I do beg your pardon! I thought that was a reply to one of Loz’s comments! I’m very sorry about this.
No, I haven’t really changed my opinion of FailBlog at all. It’s a great blog for people to hang out and chat. Why would I change my opinion?
*leaves a SQUEEZE for my little Lozenge*
Sooooo good to see you again, sweets.
Did I miss Loz?
*squeezes for my virtual sis*
Even with Brewski and others leaving just in the past few days? I’m afraid this will mark the beginning of the Dark Ages of FB.
Isn’t that kind of insulting to the other FB regulars? Yes, a few have left, for various good reason, but there is a great community still here, and new people have arrived sharing the wit and banter we all enjoy.
*gently insinuates an s into the above.*
I dare not intend to insult, I just share my thoughts. I’m not in any way insinuating that the regulars that are still active are not clever or hilarious, but Brewski just seemed like a vital part of the team. Without him, I don’t know.
Safety dancing again, bff?
Aaaw, want a hug?
*Squeeeze*
he’s just not trying hard enough
Exactly. You can dance with your hands – it’ll be…interpretive …
He’s not allowed to dance, cos he can’t walk. The sign says so.
Yeah, but, Jam, when have we ever done what we were told?
*chairdanceswithJam*
Perhaps if he had come in his WHEEEE! chair, things would have been different.
I c-c-c-c-can’t believe it! Look who’s here!
It’s a slow day at work and I missed you guys.
How’s the b-b-b-b-b-baby? She must be a year now, no?
14 months now. In the last month she’s learned the words “NO!!” and “MINE!!” and uses them whenever she deems it appropriate. I thought I had another year before that happened…*woeful sigh*
*snickers*
A friend’s baby was the same. Her first words were “no”, “I”, “mine” and “doch” (intranslateable; is used to contradict every possible negative statement, like “no you can’t have that” etc).
She’s been saying words since she was around 6 months old (“mama”). Her vocabulary now just amazes me, and everyday she learns something new. It’s a miracle she hasn’t learned to cuss yet.
My ex used to take our 2 year old (20 years ago) on deliveries for our flower shop. We stopped that after I heard him saying “gd bitch” in the car as a woman pulled up next to us. Apparently the ex had road rage back then. Now he drives like an old man including the never ending blinker and constant tapping of the breaks.
*leaves another squeeze for potato-k-k-k-katy*
LOTS of old friends today!
I can’t stay, but
*squeeezes*
for old friends!
Can she dance?
If she wants to.
Or she can leave her friends behind.
THIRD!@!!
I dont remember writing that
Haha !
lol xD rofl xD ^^ ._.” ^_^” ._.”
Are you two having a conversation?
OMG U MMD!
NO U!!!11!!! Srsly!
Well, I’m still sure he can dance better than me.
If you are the Shannon I think you are, he can probably walk better than you as well.
haha thats realy funny
and i think that guy is great becaus he can laugh with it too!!!
respect for the guy in the wheelchair!
Yes.
Love the sense of humour and the rueful smile.
Great photo!
which one there are 2
*facepalm*
cough*there’samirrorbehindthem*cough
@elias – That is the first thought that came to my mind.
watching fail; no it is not a mirror
Er, yes it is. See the woman wearing the black skirt? There’s a double of her in the back, and there’s a double of the woman next to her in the white skirt. Doppelgangers? No, a mirror. QED.
I don’t think they realize it is a dance studio giving dance classes.
But what about all those balloons? Looks like a pah-tee to me. Even that leopard print on the table to the right… only at pah-tees.
That’s a purse silly cow! And most dance studios, especially when they have an open house, are decorated up, at least the ones I have gone to. It’s to get you in the mood.
Also, the dude dancing with the lady in the white skirt has an power outlet in his foot.
Though that could be a fashion choice, who knows.
Inappropriate moment #12 to play Lady Gaga’s Just Dance.
ZOMFG, what happened to your name, BF?
Indeed, I didn’t realize that you went back to your old name. Is your midlife-crisis, which forced you to have a Porsche of a name, over?
*gasp*
HOW DID YOU KNOW?! I THOUGHT I- Oh, wait, I see what you did there. Heh. No, Ryannon was feeling nostalgic yesterday, and asked where the old BFF had gone, so I went back to my old self! How do I look?
Just fa-bu-lous!
Makes you look younger.
Sssht – he is quite young. At his age you have to say “older” to please him!
It certainly makes him look more trim and buff! I’m glad to see the old name back as well.
He’ll always be BFF to me, ’cause I gave him that name.
*squeeze*
Really? Tell me the story!
Not much of a story, just started using it as a play on best friend forever, only it was Bond Fan Forever, and it stuck. Some saw it as Bond Fan Four-five-one-eight, which worked, too.
zzzZZZzzZZZZzzzz
*poke*
*awakes*
*expects payment*
:[
*tickletickletickle*
:]
He’s cute! And he has a good sense of humor! I’d definitely ask him to dance with me.
Whoever made the banner doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Just enjoy the music and move whatcha got!
Oops! I just noticed he’s married. Oh well. My dancing would have embarrassed him anyway. . .
This wasn’t even his party, he was crashing. He was at the party next door with the banner that read “If you have hands you can wave”
Married? You can still dance. It’s not like he’s giving you a foot massage.
i thought failblog had stopped the stupid joke titles. its NOT funny. it rly is funnier when the title is ‘… fail’
DOT ORG!
Your complaint is duly noted and will be discussed at the next round table meeting. And by “discussed”, I mean mocked and ridiculed. And by “next round table meeting”, I mean when everyone wakes up and really starts posting. You will be contacted when a decision is made.
I vote for waffles. I don’t know if that is helpful to the meeting, but I think they would be so good right now.
Great, thanks for reminding me that I never got the waffles that I wanted yesterday. Every day should be waffle day.
Mmmm…French toast with berries and jam for me today!
Now if I could just get jam to stop wriggling and hold still…
*holds still*
Spread me generously.
Wow, this jam is tart!!
*wicked grin*
They see you rollin’, they hatin’
Shake, rattle and roll…
Actually, maybe not.
The guy’s expression is just invaluable
*sticks $350 price tag on guy’s expression*
$350! $350, ladies and gentlemen, do I have a higher bid? Last call for a higher bid! Going, going, gone!
*bangs gavel*
Sold, to the gentlemen with the hairy knuckles!
*ahem*
*quickly swaps “gentlemwn” in final sentence for “gentleman”*
You never know, it there be a group of gorillas in the auction house… Maybe.
But can they dance?
If they can walk…
Maybe it’s one of those Hallelujah-lay-on-hands type deals? (praise the LAW-duh!)
Haven’t seen you in a while.
Feels really nice to stop by, I’ve been missing you people
Welcome back! Stop by more often, if you can.
I don’t work as much in the office these days but hopefully I will again in the not too distant future
*squeezes all ’round*
I can walk, but all I actually do is type.
Oh, I get it…he’s a white guy, so he can’t dance. Ha hAAAA!
He can’t jump either.
He sure can. Clicky, imägine.
Wow, the air he could get on that is immeasurable.
Very healthy experience, until the landing.
He could wind up in a wheelchair!
Oh the irony!
Q. What’s the hardest part about eating vegetables?
A. The wheelchairs!
*runs away*
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball!
He may try to dance the robot, this could work
I like the humor of the handicapped
Just do not ever park in a handicap spot… or some guy named jack will pee on your tires.
Personal experience, sauer?
No. Seems I’ve always known someone in a wheelchair or on crutches. I’ve heard the complaints, and my old buddy jack has told many a’tale about peeing on the tires of law breakers.
btw – jack thinks the guy’s legs are too “thick” to be handicapped.
It is fail becase mister guy can’t dance.
Really. You don’t say. Was this fail also photoshopped? I thought I saw a pixel…
It’s not photoshopped, it’s fake! And I was first to say it.
He can always do the robot, which is always in style.
I think your answer was manufactured in a factory.
Oh Wall-e, you are so crazy!
first for this, copyrighted
And you two should get a room
Then no one would be able to see our nasty sex acts. What’s the fun in that?
Pffft…prudes…always trying to ruin a good time.
Well, factory asked for this:
*publicly shags factory*
*smiles and waves*
He’s looking awfully sheepish now!
He just knows how to turn me on. And Granny.
Sounds like you’re building-up to a big finish, AE.
*squeeze*
That’s not a look of shear terror on the sheep’s face.
*blushing*
Gather some other people in wheelchairs and do a wheelchair ballet like in them movies
This is where he should have gone…
That is just fabulous, Olur.
These people have to have some serious upper body strength.
+10000005798454678567988 pts for another gimp having humor.
Instead of the running man we should do the rolling man
And yet you negated all those points for using the word gimp.
Great spirit from the guy on the picture though…
I like to think the picture was taken just minutes before he detonated the bomb under the dance floor. It looks more like a smirk than a smile and a “now let’s see who can dance” meaning behind the smirk.
Or moments before his mobster goons tooks out 1920s machine guns and sprayed the floor around the dancers, shouting “DANCE! DANCE!”
For the record, the saying at the top is part of a Zimbabwean proverb…
If you can walk, you can dance. If you can talk, you can sing. This guy in the wheelchair is married to the mute woman next door at the recording studio.
True story: My sister’s daughter is mute, she was born without vocal cords, and works at a recording studio. She is a Foley artist.
Her biggest problem is that many people assume she is also deaf. She’ll write something on a pad and most people want to write back, or yell everything they say, and a few people have even tried sign language. Inside the front cover of each new pad she writes, “I can hear fine!”
I was unable to stop my parents to talk slowly and loudly to a Dutch friend of mine – even though she said she could understand better if everything was spoken normally.
Many years ago I was in hospital with a guy next to me who was totally deaf. The nurses and doctors all talked very loudly and basically treated him like a retard.
HI…ARTHUR! HOW…ARE….YOU…TODAY??
*ska…..weeeeeeeeze!*
What? I – can’t – hear – you!
I have a deaf friend who reads lips. People yell at him. Weird.
*SQUEEZE*
Have you ever told him that?
Of course! He knew. It makes it harder for him to read.
That must be terribly annoying!
He has a very good sense of humo(u)r.
His friends usually remind folks so he doesn’t have to say anything.
I find it impressive when people are able to read lips. Must be difficult to learn.
i’m glad someone else here knows this
No, I’m not.
It’s called sarcasm
Walk of Fail?
i never thought they’d take a proverb to such an insulting level ><
the guy in the picture obviously thinks it's pretty humorous.
|the kid|
I think it’s for those who think they have two left wheels.
“Dance like no one is watching”

Confusing – there definitely is a mirror somewhere, though it’s very hard to see the actual mirror (where it meets the floor/ceiling etc) so the whole thing looks weird. Also at first I didn’t think of the mirror since the banner with words would be a mirror image if it were reflected. But I guess it’s probably hanging right against the mirror. O_o
OMG The Dance Doctor! I always park at the garage that is above that place whenever I go to the promenade. I always thought it looked sketchy, so thanks for proving my suspicions right. The guy who submitted this rules.
The song “Save the Last Dance for Me” was co-written by a polio survivor, Doc Pomus, who couldn’t dance because of post-polio syndrome, but urged his wife to enjoy dancing . . . listen to the words with that in mind, and the song is not just “catchy”: it’s poignant, generous, and loving.
Teacher wanted to encourage people to dance.
Now the handicaped comes… what an irony. Typical Murphy law. If you want to make others happier you fail everytime.
I request to remove that from failblog. Its not any fail….
“Teacher wanted to encourage people to dance.
Now the handicaped comes… what an irony. Typical Murphy law. If you want to make others happier you fail everytime.”
So it IS a fail.
request FAIL.
Auwe what a good sport. And cute, too!
Awww poor guy.. but at least he had the sense of humor to let this pic be taken and be turned into a failblog WIN.
im not sure is he pissed at the sign or his he trying as hard as he can not to fall out of his chair laughing his ass off
same here.
I feel really sorry for him.
I enjoy that this guy has a good sense of humor.
The dance lesson ad I saw said, “If you can count to four you can dance!”
Heh, want a bet?
I use a wheelchair too.
Ah. I see. Break dancing, I presume? lmfao
aww.
Formal logic fail.
I’m stuck in a wheelchair too, but I was able to dance at a wedding recently. As long as your upper body is able to move, you can chair-dance all you want. Just remember to set the brakes! I almost tipped my chair over once, I think I got a little too wild.
They did not say, “if you can’t walk, you can’t dance”. So there is no fail in the photo, only the poster’s logic fail
Didn’t I see this scene in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?
i disagree. this is inspirational win. maybe he should try harder at walking.
Why don’t you…dance a little?
Best expression ever!
Thanks to those who liked the pic! It’s of me and I thought the sign was hilarious. The dance lesson was actually pretty fun too. Much to the dismay of the sign maker, I can tear up a dance floor.
I’d sit in that handsome mans lap and wheelchair dance with him until he said ENOUGH! what a HOTTIE!!
i live in santa monica
People are generally stupid…
Does anyone know the name of the person in the wheelchair? He looks very similar to a person that I have not seen in a long time.
Jeff.
Thanks,
That is not him then, but it could easily be his twin.
oh thats so a fail
Looks like the lead singer from “Queens of the Stone Age.”
He needs scientology
bet he felt as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit!
Props to the guy for having a sense of humor about it.
you can roll with it
poor guy. dance class fail for sure. dumbass sign.
dude in wheelchair WIN for posting this shit.
