Believe it or not that used to bring in a lot of tourism for us. There’s actually several other places in the area where the cliffs supposedly look like things, but the old man was the only one I could ever make out.
Yes, Old Man of the Mountain was a scenic viewpoint in NH – it’s on their state quarter as well as their state highway signs. The monument fell down in 2003.
People seem to not know but there is another facial mountain formation not too far from the old profile (US 3, Lincoln, NH). It’s not as defined as the old man was, but we still get to save some face.
He’s everyone’s big brother. In fact, he should be watching you right now…Well, he would be, if this was 1984. And we were on Airstrip 1, formerly the UK.
It’s a FAIL alright. The old man crumbled years ago and they still have the signs up. Actually I do still enjoy the viewing area because now you can watch clueless people squint at the cliff wondering why they can’t make out the old man.
Most people go now to see where the old man was. There are before and after pictures. This viewing point was a big part of my childhood, I wish he never fell. The “old man on the mountian” is/was a neat natural rock formation and means a lot to people from NH.
Several jobs ago, I remember making making the joke at work that they need to recall the NH quarters and replace the “Old Man of the Mountain” with “The New Rockslide of the Mountain”
Then, after Ohio & Florida had a space shuttle on their quarters, and Columbia broke up, I started dreading anything else that was a rare/unique natural or manmade item showing up on quarters. I kept expecting someone to torch “My old Kentucky home”, or someone to die at the Indy 500, etc…
My favorite *kept secret* activity
You scare me Dape. You scare me.
Not very secret once you have tour guides and marked paths.
REPLY TO ME AND I WILL KILL YOUR DEAD PEOPLE IN A CASTRATED WAFFLEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is a PedoFAIL xD

you failzor, i was first some fail’s back…. xD
oh no damn!
Is that for the old man that fell off the mountain? XD
I think so!
Do you think he knew the gravity of the situation?
I think he knew it would have a major impact on him
Your puns are HILLarious, but mine fall short.
It Appears Your Spelling and Capitalization Fall Short As Well.
it appears your grasp of puns is crumbling
It Appears Sarcasm Once Again Doesn’t Work Over The Interwebs
I’m pretty certain this is what it refers to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_of_the_Mountain
Which actually makes this a double fail.
The Old Man of the Mountain – the natural formation that collapsed in 2002
Believe it or not that used to bring in a lot of tourism for us. There’s actually several other places in the area where the cliffs supposedly look like things, but the old man was the only one I could ever make out.
Scenic overlook.
Cataract spectacles.♬ I LIKE BIG BUTTES AND I CANNOT LIE…! ♬
Woops…! *turns down that dad-gummed music*
*SNORKROFFLE!!!!*
Do you knoll any others?
(I’m still falling over with laughter–scree!)
Tuya really want another one??
He’s modest; many people like a night on bald mountain.
Well, that climb would be a Mighty Handful, wouldn’t it?
Of Korsakov!
*rimsky-shot*
Gluck with that.

Granite, it wasn’t much to see. but I liked it.
lol… granite… most people wouldn’t have caught that. It’s still well worth the trip to Franconia Notch where he used to be….
♪ And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains … ♪
I miss him DX
…and our license plates, and our driver’s licenses, and on any tacky crap we can sell to leaf peeping tourists.
And I wouldn’t have described him as a “monument” as he was a natural rock formation…
That’s what “THEY” want you to think!!!

Remembering which fail we’re on is the first thing to go, old friends.

I don’t get it. Did Ernest Borgnine do something perverted?
Yep. He aged. That makes him a criminal in our society.
/runs like a mofo
Resistance is Ernest.
The importance of being futile.dammit. you beeted me.
I accidenty beeted an ass?*offers kafleen a honeycrisp apple*
Is that a Wilde Apple?
I’ll just go and Oscar.
I thought Ernest went to camp.
*bonk*
Is it just down the hallway from where the babies are on display at the hospital?
Next to the rheum with a view.And it’ll cost you a catarrh.
A vantage point for them to view us or us to view them? Either way, I want no part of it.
He still can view you.
*playes creepy music* He knows when your sleeping and when your awake.
*shakes hoof at Mr. Clause*
I believe there is a wrinkle in your plan.
What’s the old man viewing?
Road hogs.Your inbox.
And your browser history.
And your downloads.
Those magazines under your bed.
And those sexts you sent.
Britney’s trousers.
Shh… he’s sleeping.

Big Brother never did go into retirement.
Your big brother or thee big brother?.
He’s everyone’s big brother. In fact, he should be watching you right now…Well, he would be, if this was 1984. And we were on Airstrip 1, formerly the UK.
Ok I have to do research right now about airstrip1 and big brother.
It’s a trick comment, 5E… everyone knows McHale was in the Navy.
The lemon party escapes the interwebs.
The Old Men Who Stare at Goats ?
In Soviet Russia, goats stare at you
WIN COMMENT!!!@!
Didn’t Charleton Heston warn us about Borgies problem with white cotton underpants? (it’s trapped in my subconscious…)
Free ee, free ee your subconscious. …
is this where you go when you want to look at your old man?
No. Not unless Ernie B. is your old man.
I see they finally cancelled ER.
Old man watching: Twice as riveting as bird watching, but you don’t have to wake up early to get to a vantage point!
The Eiffel Tower. Now that was Riveting.
The Left Bank. Now that was Rive Gauche.
Old man dying is better
Dead man walking is zombier.a zombier is an elegant zombie, who no longer deals out playing cards, but death’s cards. You need some brains to get him to pay out
A dead man dealing death's cards is tarotfying.Scares the craps outta me.
heh ... you poker you pay with your lifeI haven’t the patience to poker; have to find the lady first.
Lady Luck? Lady Liberty? Or Lady GaGa?
Lady Godiva, she’s ready to ride.
Lady Godiva would be more photogenic if she’d adopt Sinead O’Connor’s hairstyle.
Ernest Borgnine is pretty scary. I just watched MST3K’s Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders last night.
MST3K is AWESOME!!
*does a little donkey jig*
**stops and looks around**
***trots off nervously***
…..but Joel was better
Yup.
ty
OH! It’s you!
Hey, don’t run off!
I applied to you know where and haven’t heard back.
Does it take a week or so???
You farm aminals are soooo silly.
Yesh. We makes asses of ourselves sometimes…
And I bet the cows milk the jokes for all there worth.
This is nothing to do w/ Ernest Borgnine. It is New Hampshires State Logo: ” The Old Man of the Mountains” The REAL fail is the posting… LOL
This is nothing to do w/ informing me.
This is nothing to do w/ doing a sensible reply.
^^^^ ouch. me fail. sounds to snipity, when ment as joke. remember read twice post once.
lol ... to snip a critter fixes itnow…
isn’t that a bit harsh?
Literate friends don't let critter friends make litters in their letters.
If the critter ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Get Borgnine after 100 Taxi Fares
It’s a not-too-shabby cabbie!
NH’s motto is Live Free or Die.
It’s a FAIL alright. The old man crumbled years ago and they still have the signs up. Actually I do still enjoy the viewing area because now you can watch clueless people squint at the cliff wondering why they can’t make out the old man.
im pretty sure i know this sign. its from the white mountains in new hampshire. its the old man in the mountain- a face that looks carved in the rock
Old man here
*views*
I haven’t been since he crumbled, but it was pretty cool with it was up there! I’d love to see the clueless people!
this is most likely from New Hampshire…poor old man, fell apart.
Had rocks for brains.
And he was stoned all the time.
Most people go now to see where the old man was. There are before and after pictures. This viewing point was a big part of my childhood, I wish he never fell. The “old man on the mountian” is/was a neat natural rock formation and means a lot to people from NH.
I agree that the sign sounds funny
When’s feeding time?
Sorry, I don’t know.
Total carnage! No such place as an ‘old man viewing’ area.
What. You’ve seen all areas in the universe down to their atomic level?
I think NOT!
*trots away haughtily grumbling to self*
Sweetie…you’ve been a very Grumpy Gus the past couple of days. Come here.
*BIG HUG*
Now stop responding to the posts that annoy you and come and have some fun instead.
Isn’t this just the sign to view the “Old Man in the Mountain” that used to be in New Hampshire?
yep. it has to be.
this must be from NH, where the old man in the mountain is. its a rock formation that looks like a man on a mountain. but he’s broken now.
He lost face.
I’m looking forward to seeing this exhibit when I visit the zoo
