life’s a beach

Luke Skywalker is the gimp.

Lucky guy…
Unless it was a mindtrick by the emperor to seduce him
he did the emperor too?
Dude!
What’s so wrong with eating seagull in the streets??
good point
NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM
I love how it specifies “in streets.”
Can I eat them in alleys? Or on sidewalks?
In a box with a fox? In a house with a mouse..
I do not like them Sam I Am! I do NOT like seagulls and ham!
or on the beach?
*grabs a seagull, runs into an alley, bites the head off, and eats it*
i dont think thts healthy… you should have grilled it first…
500 pound fine.
dotn dirnk and blog
your mum
But I’m hungry.
Eat something other than poultry.
But can I eat them on the beach?
Unless they’ve paved a road, or the beach is called street, i guess
That beach is always on the streets.
Just place the flying rats on your table and the problem is solved!!
I do not eat green seagull eggs or tastes-like ham.I do not like them, Jam-I-am.
I would not, could not eat a gull.
I could not, would not, as I am too full.
You can’t eat seagulls on the beach,
You can’t eat seagulls with a Sneetch.
You can’t eat seagulls, that’s a cinch,
But if you’re really hungry, eat a Grinch!
You cannot eat seaguls in the street
you cannot eat them as a treat
You cannot eat them with your feet
you must not dine on seagul meat
Green eggs and ham, however – thats fine!
Seagull eggs?
better than dogs eggs, that are normally found on the beach!
Those brown things aren’t eggs..
Those aren’t the eggs you’re looking for.
The eggs are a lie.
How about if I give you a koala?
koala cola?
Watch out for that Koala!
Alley ways are cool though, right?
It’s just the man trying to bring us down.
enter the sand manIt says that it’s a law.
.
..
…
No problem. I’ll go on eating my imperial eagle in the street until they forbid it.
For once, the UK tie the US
I thought Tony Blair had already successfully done that with Dubya.
TB + GB 4evar
Bromance of the ages. Why am I hearing “This is Sparta”?
I wouldn’t count on it. St Ives is a tourist hotspot, so no doubt it was a whole load of American tourists that required this sign to be put up.
…especially when they can’t put up with european beer, even if it’s english beer :]
Hah! yep, blame the yankee doodles, as though us Brits aren’t nutty enough
Yeah, because seagull eating is a time honored American tradition.
Surely it’s immoral to eat any bird out in the street. The sensible ones usually have a room to go to.
Freebird love!!With weekly rapes!
Is that what naked sara says?
It’s legal in Norway.
Odin you didn't!!Who would have Thor(t)!
This brought a Tyr to my eye.
Awww, Hel! Not another pantheistic thread!
Lokily there aren’t that many Nordic gods.
Its a misprint, it should say “It is forbidden to eat seaguls with The Streets” – Mike Skinner has a strong seagul allergy.
*hides his seagull*
I already knew it!
And you ran, you ran so far away.
Albatross! Aaalbaaatross!! Albatrosss!
What flavor is it?
tastes like ham
It’s bloody albatross flavor!
(Is anyone else suspicious that “eat seagull in the streets” is a euphemism?)
clam up.
I wonder if seagulls taste like chicken?
No, but smoked turkey legs taste like ham!
Babies taste like chicken!
… And chickens taste of human!
But the jam, oh, the jam…it tastes like Grandma.
Shall we spread it upon our bread? OMNOMNOMNOMNOM
No they don’t, humans taste like pork. Just ask the Papua-Newguineans, they refer to white folk as ‘long pigs’ for that precise reason.
Stands to reason that babies taste like suckling pig.
Chicken tastes like frogs legs.
St. Ives seagulls are crazy, and happily steal your food. They feast on all sorts of good eats, their meat must taste like glazed Crepes! Hence the perfectly normal fine sign.
I have the proof!
In Soviet Russia Seagull eats you
There’s a video of a pelican eating a pigeon, too.
i guess pigeons are just tht tasty… i would like to try one, but the sign says i cant..
Maybe it’s a case of two missing commas:
It is forbidden to eat, Seagull, in the streets.
You are wise in the ways of punctuation, Grasshopper.
In that case, tell hotdog vendors I’m taking my business elsewhere.
Speaking of… where the heck is Jonathan these days?
haha, nice one.
Ok, this is what they’re trying to tell us:
“It is forbidden to eat (=FEED) seagull in streets” which can be misunderstood in a very funny way.
5 Thumbs!
FAILblog needs more of these jokes
Don’t be a fool.
FAILblog needs some proper FAILs.
There is no bizarre eat/feed mistranslation occurring here.
It is a somewhat lame practical joke.
Especially as it is supposed to be Penwith District Council – whihc was abolished in April…
Oh aren’t u are smart one Wanger… Good for you… You figured it out all by yourself…
A flock of seagulls, and I ran…
How far?
So far away.
You must be in dire straits.
You couldn’t get away?
Far away towards the sunset?
Mine.
*snatches it and runs off*
Awwww, it is? Darn, I’m going to have to stop doing that from now on. But, it’s still legal to eat pelicans there, right? X3
Naw. You can’t eat pelicans without barbecue sauce!
they would eat anything in Cornwall
Thats why the beaver is now extinct in Cornwall
I eat beavers frequently and we still have a sh*tload of them in Canada…
All birds are edible. Just remember that if you are lost. Eat an endangered one and watch how fast the park rangers find you.
And once they do, run like the wind!
I do what I want
eat fish instead >:(
It’s another prank…Hello? not fail? it’s more of a Win because it makes people go “O.o what?”
I prefer eating birds in my bedroom, if you know what I mean.
I have heard both women and penises referred to as birds.
Well remember what a male bird is called.
A transvestite?
For crying out loud, the sign’s a joke. Read the bit at the bottom of it.
FAILblog = Epic Fail. Remember when there used to be proper fails around?
How does the bit at the bottom make it a joke?
BTW, it IS illegal to kill seagulls in the UK (even if they’re attacking you in your own garden), and we do have a lot of immigrants who, however decent they may be, are occasionally unaware that our wildlife is not there to be killed and eaten.
“This is a UK law under Section 536781″ is clearly fake. For starters, the term “UK law” is rarely used as England/Wales and Scotland have different legal systems, and if there were any such law it would be cited as “Section x of the Something Something Act 1995″ or thereabouts. And there aren’t many acts of Parliament with more than 100 sections, let alone half a million.
And yes, it is illegal to kill seagulls in many countries, just the same as it is is illegal to kill many other wild animals who dare to not understand the very human notion of “my garden”. That doesn’t mean this poster isn’t fake, though – not least because it says “eat seagull”, not “kill”.
Also possible it’s a mock up by a disgruntled local, fed up with tourists eating in the streets and feeding, or leaving behind their rubbish for, the seagulls.
Still funny.
*flops over and wails*
Oh, those were the good old days,
of the proper fails…
*comforts kafleen* We can go cruise through upcoming fails. It will cheer you up.
Aww…but they’re soooo delicious =(
When was this law passed??? now what the hell am i supposed to eat for lunch??? god i hate the government…
Have failblog turned into smartassheadlineblog.com????
Why can’t the line for this picture just be ‘Holiday Food Fail’ as it says below? All these crappy headlines are making failblog less funny and VERY lame. Please stop it.
I like my albatross with wafers.
Fake as hell.
1) Terribly produced (ie. not official) sign.
2) Stuck on top of another (official) sign.
3) A “UK Law” under” section 563781 – it doesn’t exist.
So yeah, from that perspective, it is a FAIL.
Dang. Now I can’t stop wondering what the sign behind it says.
It’s a parking notice.
How do you know?
We must double check, you can slightly see through the fake sign since its simply paper, IT’S NOT EVEN LAMINATED FOR GAWD SAKE!
4) It’s just paper, it’s not even laminated! (You can see through it.)
feh you kill joy, and to you I’d like to quote Directive 5796…..
.. I mean Directive 68250
But… It’s Saturday. Whatever will I eat for dinner if I can’t have my usual Saturday seagull?
I mean, of course I could take my meal inside, but it just doesn’t give the same thrill as seagull-on-the-go.
image how stupid the sign underneath is to be covered up by this fail
heheheheehehehehehehehehehehehe….. dieareah =]
One question: Can i eat them inside?
“This is a UK law…”
That’s in the UK? The UK weather is way too crap to have anything like that in the background…I should know, I live there. …so WTF?
That aside, would the UK write like that…this looks to me like another fake. D:
This is in the UK. Looking at the harbour and lighthouse in the background I’m quite sure this is St Ives, Cornwall, which is part of the Penwith District.
But this is is definitely a fake. An official council sign wouldn’t be posted on top of a parking control sign.
Can you eat seagulls here?
Can you eat seaguls there?
CAn you eat seagulls in a box?
Can you eat seagulls with a fox?
Can you eat it anywhere?
Can you eat it over there?
Wow, at first I thought I was at the Engrish site!
Is this commentz?
What was your first clue?
When was the your first clue?
Soviet Russia? I think there is a canadian flag reflex on the water :\
Damn Canadians and theyr seagul
What water?!? It’s like the Sahara desert out there! And we Canadians never eat our seagull without barbecue sauce! It’s a known fact!
Dang it, now my afternoon is ruined because I can’t eat the seagulls.
i didn’t know seagull tasted so good
Learn something new everyday…
Aw, those warm summer days with Papa Hem. An alfresco cafe. A fresh crispy baguette. A bottle of good wine and a seagull.
Mhm..do you remember how, the more wine we drank, the better the seagull tasted?
This doesn’t sound like the Brit-speak that I know. It would be more like “Would pedestrians please not eat seagulls whilst in the street. We regret any inconvenience that this might cause.”
Don’t know why, but when i saw this sign I thought of somewhere in the West Indies.
Can’t really see a Brit eating a seagull, just not the done thing don’t you know eh what old chap?
Considering that it’s on the beach in Penzance, maybe it’s a warning to the Pirates…
It’s not a beach in Penzance though, it’s on the other coast, sorry.
Gah, I can’t control my pedantry.
Or are you saying that it’s on the north coast of that spit of land, in St. Ive’s or Hayle? All three are listed at the bottom – are within a 10km range of each other.
You’re really going out of your way to ruin a funny, you know, considering it was a reference to a comedic stage show.
I’m saying that St Ives is on the north of the spit of land and Penzance is on the south.
Believe me, coming from Penzance I have heard every damn pirate joke going…
Loadkirr?
Ok, I fail because I thought this was in the Engrish section. Never do this at 2 am!
what about 1:59?
I think this suits the Engrish site the best, not failblog. Although it is pretty fail.
well obviously there must of been an incident where someone ate one or something. i wouldn’t call this a fail, failblog is really starting to suck IMO.
*Noms on seagull brains on Road.
Good morning all.
*squeeze*
*Squash*
Yeaaah! I knew that the photo was taken in St. Ives
This sign is really fake.. and bring back old-style simple headlines!
It’s a Banksy-esque type of art. Enjoy it!
Old picture is old.
Penwith Council hasn’t existed for 9 months now, and given that it’s sunny, kinda points to the photo being 15 months old.
I think the fail is how obviously fake it is.
So fake its not even funny. Aside form looking photoshopped, the law number they gave is completely bogus.
oh rly? good cuz i eat mine on the sidewalk.
But I didn’t want to eat them on the Beach! D:
Darn it.. Kids, looks like we have to find our lunch somewhere else..
So fake. The council don’t go around sticking paper signs over parking signs. You fail.
..But chicken is okay.
A cooked bird is pretty much a cooked bird, seagull or not.
It was probably put up by a disgruntled police officer. Sick of getting called out to a “Man Eating Seagull on the beach” and breaking out the heavy artillery to go and tackle some Irradiated, Giant,, Killer, Monster and ending up pissed that its just some bloke having a snack.
seagulls taste like cheese
Should be in the list of Funny laws, like:
It is illegal for children to eat ice-cream cones on the streets on the Sabbath in Ottawa.
or
In Texas, it’s illegal to put graffiti on someone else’s cow.
theres a town in california that has a law that says, if you detonate a nuclear bomb in a 3 mile radius of this town, you can get a $500 fine
Ya, tell that to cats, who eat poor seagalls everday
I wish I knew that 5 minutes (burp) ago!
It’s ok to eat them on the sidewalk and beach. That’s all I care about. I’m Good.
and what about fish sandwiches?
lol
no fish are allowed to be eaten in the sea.
it hurts the alive one’s feelings.
Does that mean we can take them home and eat them?
I’m surprised nobody’s brought this up, but…
ALBATROSS!
Darn. I like seagull in the streets, you can just leave crabs on the road the seagull comes and you run it over, then you eat it
The only reason they would make a sign like this is if this has been a problem in the past. Now……who the hell is eating seagulls?!?
