I didn’t realize there were more Moomins out there in the world until yesterday. I can’t remember what I said, but my British boss thought I said “Moomin” and got all happy — after his reaction, I googled & found that there are many more of your kind.
Oh, nightshayde…you really need to get the books for your daughter. They were my favorite books when I was little. Last year for christmas, my mum got me the whole set of Moomin books and I love to reread them again and again.
It’s a favorite implement of the “trainers” and physical therapists these days. I’m sure there are as many injuries as there are success stories. A dangerous thing for the untrained, imho.
I see so much stupidity at the gym that maybe it does, but only in the general room and not the back room with serious lifters (where my grandson works out!).
*poke poke*
And now for the payment.
I yen for the winning powerball numbers.
I yen for chocolate.
I yen for a good man to cuddle up to at night.
I yen for better spelling skills.
I yen to have the right words at the right time.
I yen for …………..
I would have paid an arm and a leg, but if we want a starfish in there you folks can pick. Or we can have Starfish as a first name and then take both the arm and leg.
*as usual, refuses to say where he got said arm and leg*
I typed “adverbs” the first time I posted it, but the blogmonster ate my post. I THOUGHT I had typed “adverbs” the second time, but I obviously didn’t! Either that or the blogmonster played a practical joke on me.
You should see me when I make an arse of myself in front of a class. The students are terrified to correct me, but they know I’ve said something wrong…usually I figure out I said something off by their “deer in the headlights” expressions. Then I laugh uproariously at myself, and they relax.
I just utterly refuse to take myself that seriously.
I have a very firm policy on this very situation, because I decided long ago that it was not part of my job to decide what is a “good” excuse and what is a “bad” excuse. Therefore, in terms of attendance, every student is allowed a certain number of absences for the entire semester. If they go over that number, I drop them from the class–no exceptions. Attendance is one of the requirements for passing the class–but there is no such thing as an “excused” or “unexcused” absence. You just get as many as everyone else, and how you use them is your business.
Same thing with assignments. I absolutely will not accept late work in any form. However, if a student contacts me at least 24 hours before an assignment is due, I will grant them an extension on the deadline. It doesn’t matter why–I don’t need to know. I just know that they didn’t wait until the night before it was due to start working on it, and realize in a panic at 2am that they weren’t going to be able to finish it.
Believe me…people like you are very few and far between. If you had to read a pile of papers written in the wee hours of the night before they were due, you would do absolutely everything in your power to make sure you never, EVER had to do it again. *squeeze*
Some people need that deadline pressure. I could do all of my reading and research way ahead of time. I’d even draw up an outline in advance, but I could never do any quality writing until the night before it was do. Something about it made me focus better.
Most of my papers were written the night before they were due, and I always did quite well on them.
I really liked when the people who would be grading the papers (usually teaching assistants) warned that they were excellent at spotting BS. I’d BS my way through & get an A almost every time. I think my lowest was a B+ I got on a paper about Moby D!ck – a book I didn’t read. I started the book, but couldn’t get past the first chapter. Even the Cliffs Notes were too long & not interesting in the slightest. I paid very close attention in lectures & discussion groups & was able to completely BS my way through the paper.
See…I’d love a classroom full of students like you guys. First of all, you would actually FINISH your “at the last minute” papers and not send me whiny emails at three in the morning explaining why you need more time, and secondly, you guys seem to forget that you are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more intelligent than “average”. Intelligent people can get it done and done well pretty much no matter what. 98% of the students I see in my classes…can’t.
I tried some madlibs and came out with an excellent action movie script involving DW and AA “The Squeezinator”, and some explosive investigative journalists.

Once upon a time, there was a wet knight named Admiral, who, by his valiant promiscuity, saved the kingdom from the scaly Dragon and shot the princess in the nick of time. He rode his dirty marmot from the white cuddle puddle upon which the kingdom was built, journeying into the unknown. He was discombobulated and did not stop for fear Dragon would snork them all.
By and by, he came to a giant spatula which blocked his path. He stopped and flirted abashedly to himself. Then, summoning his embarrassing infidelity, he condemned the spatula out of his way and continued onward.
At last, he reached the silky penthouse blog of the mushy Dragon. Dragon curdled at his approach. They fought sarcastically. The battle was cold and conniving, raging a whole millennium, until at last, the knight seized Dragon by the uvula and tounched her in the earlobe. The princess was grateful, and the knight nommed her over his shoulder and returned to the king. The two promptly roffled, and they lived obnoxiously ever after.
Whether he falls backwards or forwards, I can’t really see it ending well for the man standing on that ball.
I’d put him up as a potential candidate for the Darwins. Only continued effort on his part will determine whether he willmake it through as a Darwin entrant in time.
I’m so glad I’m not the man who has to calculate their insurance premiums.
Wow, Im so glad Im not him, when he slips or that thing pops, that weights going to come down on his back and snap! KIDS, DONT DO THIS AT HOME!!! HELL, NO ONE DO THIS AT HOME!!!
I’m keeping it with the apostrophe I nicked yesterday. I’m sure I’ll soon have the opportunity to insert both in a “your” that really should be a “you’re.”
I wouldn’t have been able to see it (here at work) if it had been a video. I actually look forward to Fridays because I know I’ll be able to see the 10am FAIL.
Big Men don’t squat on swiss balls…unless you’re training for the circus this makes no sense whatsoever and is a big training FAIL. Risk far out weighs the rewards. Until we start rolling around on swiss balls all day every day, there is no scientific basis for this. I’d slap anyone upside the head for doing that in my gym. People should focus more on quality exercises and less on trying to look cool. You’re there to work hard, not roll around on a swiss ball. You know what else looks cool? Front Squatting 3 plates a side with perfect a#s to the grass technique. Until you can do that, I suggest you stay of the swiss ball.
This DOES make sense, u fat unknowing geeks…
it streghtens the stabilizers…the ball won’t break and the dude can’t fall because there’s the guy behind him…
dang a shit load of stuff is wrong in this pic 1 his ack is not straight 2 he is on a ball 3 he is not wering a belt and 4he can ecome paralized if he is like that eilive my caoch yelled at me for not waring a belt he said i could have died and i was doin 45′s like this guy
1 r u a skill player 2 yes i strained 4 muscels trying at 350 having a straight back makes all the difference i would have been fine if i kept proper form
I don’t want to say this is very common, however, I do notice a few people doing this at my gym but not with so much weight. This person has two 45 lbs bells on it so it’s about 120 pounds in total with the bar weight and all which is quite a lot and I’d say having a good spot is important here as both can get hurt.
EPIC COMPREHENSION FAIL! haha im j/k. Imminent – likely to occur at any moment. Take a second to Google the word you do not understand it saves a lot of time lol.
I hav ein fact seen this very picture as an example of the most pointless and dangerous exercises you can do. By all means, combine balance and weightlifting to improve core stability, but not like this. He loses the possibility to lift anywhere near what he should to build strength properly and risks injury as well, and he’d train core stability much better with heavier weights on a steady surface.
You sir, are the only person that has posted so far that actually seems to know what they are talking about in terms of physical education. Thanks for being a normal intelligent human being.
It’s not fake. I wasn’t there as it was happening, but the guy doing the Swiss ball squat is a friend of mine who has a pretty high profile in the fitness world.
I love the pompous morons that are personally attacking people because they made fun of some stupid arse workout technique. I don’t give a sh1t how well you are balanced or how good your “buddy” behind you can “hold” you. Basic PHYSICS says the risk far outweighs the benefit. How about you stop going to the gym so often and start going to the library.
This can’t end well.
Well said NS.
Well, if he balances very carefully and maintains that balance throughout …
No, you’re right. This will end in pain and screaming. If he’s lucky!
… and laughter on the part of others.
They’re trying to raise the bar on weightlifting fails.
They have comprised a hefty portion of the fails lately.
There’s lots of density to go around.
High density and low resistance can be a nosebreaker.
I’ve had too much on my plate to notice.
You’ve had other pressing engagements?
She’s curling her hair.
…and crimping mine.
That style makes her look squatty.
I wonder how it did turn out…
I like how lately the fails have been clean and jerks are less abundant as a result.
Me too!

Was it perhaps “moonin’ ” that made your boss happy?
Nope – definitely Moomin. He suddenly had a boyish glee look about him.

Thanks Dragon.
Speaking of “drink”, you seem to have recovered quite nicely since the last fail!
I hit bottom.
Cheap gin will make me forget anything and regret being alive.
I couldn’t help butt crack a smile.
But for who? Seem like the guy in back is in more danger than the guy in front.
Thats what he SAID!!!!!! >,<
that is not a real picture….
Actually, there was a video of that one guy doing it right. For this guy on the other hand… Ouch
This is not even a fail. Common training for many athletes.

Well, the ER doc will be a Lifesaver for this guy.
If he keeps straining like that he’s going to get Altoids.
I’d hate to be arount when they cinnaburst.
At the very least, his stride will be a little off from now on.
That’s what he gets for trying to go that Exxtra mile.
Probably not more than a few Tic-Tacs of the clock from this point.

Second, I can’t wait to try.

Why do folks always insist on standing/jumping on those bouncy balls? The end result is always spectacular fail…
I don’t even trust myself to sit on one of those yoga balls, let alone stand on one! How can he be holding weights without the ball popping?
They do it to amuse the rest of us.
… bless their little hearts. ♥
Oh no, Nightshayde. Their hearts are HUGE. It’s their brains that lack stature.

Don’t they leave you a little unsatisfied, ZA?
It’s a favorite implement of the “trainers” and physical therapists these days. I’m sure there are as many injuries as there are success stories. A dangerous thing for the untrained, imho.
Well, trying that means you need to have ball….s

Yes. Yes, you are. You can cross that off today’s to-do list.
Well, he/she was last very briefly.
Forgot to ask her/him, “Why so angry, kitteh?” That wouldda been a hoot!
Ok that’s the BEFORE picture. Now I want to see the AFTER picture.
What a jerk.
It’s a tear-jerking image.

And what makes you think there is ANY possibility of that happening?
what makes you so sure there isn’t?
That’s funny. I left yesterday on a weightlifting stupidity fail. Huh. I hadn’t realized how many there were.
Are you inferring that stupidity and weightlifting go hand in hand?
Have you seen the picture up there?^^^^
There are pictures here?

THE KNIGHT AND THE DRAGON by FailPeeps
Once upon a time, there was a wet knight named Admiral, who, by his valiant promiscuity, saved the kingdom from the scaly Dragon and shot the princess in the nick of time. He rode his dirty marmot from the white cuddle puddle upon which the kingdom was built, journeying into the unknown. He was discombobulated and did not stop for fear Dragon would snork them all.
By and by, he came to a giant spatula which blocked his path. He stopped and flirted abashedly to himself. Then, summoning his embarrassing infidelity, he condemned the spatula out of his way and continued onward.
At last, he reached the silky penthouse blog of the mushy Dragon. Dragon curdled at his approach. They fought sarcastically. The battle was cold and conniving, raging a whole millennium, until at last, the knight seized Dragon by the uvula and tounched her in the earlobe. The princess was grateful, and the knight nommed her over his shoulder and returned to the king. The two promptly roffled, and they lived obnoxiously ever after.
‘Tis a silly story.
Can’t…stop…laughing!!
It was “for fear Dragon would snork them all” that pushed me over the edge.
Poor mushy dragon.
Life must get lonely in your silky penthouse blog, so you come to snork us all!
“Seized Dragon by the uvula…”
*roffles some more*

Oh, that’s going to HURT.
Whether he falls backwards or forwards, I can’t really see it ending well for the man standing on that ball.
I’d put him up as a potential candidate for the Darwins. Only continued effort on his part will determine whether he willmake it through as a Darwin entrant in time.
I’m so glad I’m not the man who has to calculate their insurance premiums.
He should be using a Bosu ball, not that yoga thingie.
Wow, Im so glad Im not him, when he slips or that thing pops, that weights going to come down on his back and snap! KIDS, DONT DO THIS AT HOME!!! HELL, NO ONE DO THIS AT HOME!!!
Well, I guess this is safe to do at home!

It’s good that he’s found a new hobby that doesn’t involve Jeeps. We’ve got plenty of clones left, but we’ve run out of Jeeps.

Hey, has anyone seen my “e”? I left it in a post and now I can’t find it anywhere.
Finders, keepers…
I’m keeping it with the apostrophe I nicked yesterday. I’m sure I’ll soon have the opportunity to insert both in a “your” that really should be a “you’re.”
Hey, that’s some nifty planning you go going there.
So close yet so far.

How would he get the bar up there? Plus look at the lines and the contrast between blurry non blurry. I say photoshop FAIL!

Hey Gracie, I think I found your marbles!!!!
Does that mean she can fly now that she has her happy thought again?!!
only chuck norris can succesfuly do something like that
Didn’t he hang himself in Thailand?
Chuck Norris doesn’t get hung; Chuck Norris is hung.
Ok, that’s a visual I did not need…
Failblog diet, part deux…
The guy in yellow in the earlier Fail didn’t turn your stomach enough?
I have no memory of that fail.
We can fix that.
No. That fail didn’t happen.

Wrong guy. You’re talking about that elderly bloke who starred in Kill Bill.

My bad. I can’t keep ‘em straight.
Not so Imminent Fail

…and you haven’t *HappyNewYearsqueezed* me because…….???????
Ahem?!! You will find yourself squeezed elsewhere in the fail, if you care to look.
*extraLGBsqueezesjustforfun*
Aw, hooray! Dint scroll up to there again!
It’s crazy here at work this month, so I’ve only been allowing myself limited time on here. Mistya!
*extrabigsquooshysqueeziesher3Beezies*

Missing ALL my Fail Peeps!
Three more weeks and I’ll be back regularly. January is hell month here at work….
I wasn’t on much for the last couple of weeks myself. It’s been dark. vv

*steals that quote for the other FB*
The sad thing is his golf swing stinks. No balance… Go figure :/
Okay, so one person successfully did a few reps with a much lighter weight. Does that somehow make it not extremely dangerous and idiotic?
imminent coït ? lol
I tried that once but was killed
Are you one of ZA’s minions?
*asked from a good distance*
My minions are smarter than that.
Imminent fail?
So the accident happens after a 10 seconds?
Looks like a doublefail this time…
How is it an imminent fail? This is done quite often b/c you have to tense up your body so much to keep your balance etc to stay on the ball.
And of course, nobody ever get’s hurt if something has been done often.

I wish this had been a video!
Yes, fails are so much more fun when there’s motion and sound effects.
And crunchy noises…
I wouldn’t have been able to see it (here at work) if it had been a video. I actually look forward to Fridays because I know I’ll be able to see the 10am FAIL.
If some of you would push back the Klondike bars and hit a gym, you’d see this isn’t so “fail”. In addition to the video above:
Big Men don’t squat on swiss balls…unless you’re training for the circus this makes no sense whatsoever and is a big training FAIL. Risk far out weighs the rewards. Until we start rolling around on swiss balls all day every day, there is no scientific basis for this. I’d slap anyone upside the head for doing that in my gym. People should focus more on quality exercises and less on trying to look cool. You’re there to work hard, not roll around on a swiss ball. You know what else looks cool? Front Squatting 3 plates a side with perfect a#s to the grass technique. Until you can do that, I suggest you stay of the swiss ball.
Why though he’s working his core with the ball.
It’s by no means a fail though, I wonder what half the people that half posted on here look like in comparison to someone that does train…
“Alright, here’s what we’re gonna do….” Who ever thought this would be a good idea? lmao
In b4 ambulance.
This DOES make sense, u fat unknowing geeks…
it streghtens the stabilizers…the ball won’t break and the dude can’t fall because there’s the guy behind him…
This is FAR too dangerous no matter the benefit. Add this to your workout and one day, FACE! It’s inevitable…
The guy behind him has a boner. I wouldn’t trust him…
noy sure whats funnier that fact that he looks like hes gonna shit his pants or the fact that its 95 lbs XD
135*
“Hey, I have an idea!”
Not in my dojo Wince.
dang a shit load of stuff is wrong in this pic 1 his ack is not straight 2 he is on a ball 3 he is not wering a belt and 4he can ecome paralized if he is like that eilive my caoch yelled at me for not waring a belt he said i could have died and i was doin 45′s like this guy
1 r u a skill player 2 yes i strained 4 muscels trying at 350 having a straight back makes all the difference i would have been fine if i kept proper form
I’d be more worried about the back of his shorts than the integrity of the ball….
I am worried about his head
It sure looks crazy, but it’d make for a killer workout… quite literally.
no you moron this is for humans with a great skill to kill
Imminent fail or short-time win?
I don’t want to say this is very common, however, I do notice a few people doing this at my gym but not with so much weight. This person has two 45 lbs bells on it so it’s about 120 pounds in total with the bar weight and all which is quite a lot and I’d say having a good spot is important here as both can get hurt.
This is a balance win
WTF does Imminent mean????
It means that the fail is definitely going to happen soon.
EPIC COMPREHENSION FAIL! haha im j/k. Imminent – likely to occur at any moment. Take a second to Google the word you do not understand it saves a lot of time lol.
I hav ein fact seen this very picture as an example of the most pointless and dangerous exercises you can do. By all means, combine balance and weightlifting to improve core stability, but not like this. He loses the possibility to lift anywhere near what he should to build strength properly and risks injury as well, and he’d train core stability much better with heavier weights on a steady surface.
You sir, are the only person that has posted so far that actually seems to know what they are talking about in terms of physical education. Thanks for being a normal intelligent human being.
anyone else notice the guy spotting him is starting to get hard lol
Ooooh I want the video
Another fake picture.
It’s not fake. I wasn’t there as it was happening, but the guy doing the Swiss ball squat is a friend of mine who has a pretty high profile in the fitness world.
I think I smell Fail coming
Who-hoo! That’s my man right there. Always on the ball.
I was wondering what the Ambiguously Gay Duo were up to these days..
hahaha, my trainer actually had me attempt that with dumbells; and yes, it did end with failure
My god why would anyone want or NEED to do this at any point in your life? That’s just a Darwin award in the making.
I love the pompous morons that are personally attacking people because they made fun of some stupid arse workout technique. I don’t give a sh1t how well you are balanced or how good your “buddy” behind you can “hold” you. Basic PHYSICS says the risk far outweighs the benefit. How about you stop going to the gym so often and start going to the library.
crazy ^^
*KABOOM*
Just saw somebody do this on Leno. And didn’t fail – which he had.
…why. just why.
imminent and epic
Someone’s going to the hospital fairly soon…
Constipated win!
I’m rooting for him! I think he will succeed!
