Yeah, I’ve got all my Failpeeps to cheer me up! I got a very pi$$y sounding voice mail last night requesting I call back. I don’t think I’m going to do that. I’ll e-mail, I won’t set myself up to listen to an angry tirade.
Avis, I wouldn’t give him the benefit of a reply. He left a beautiful, intelligent lady like you, and that’s his loss. You should let him realise that he’s probably made the biggest mistake.
Oh, bull. I wasn’t possessing him, I was pwning him. There’s a subtle difference. Besides, you know it’s better to be piston than pissed-off, and if you can’t take the heat, get out of the suns.
It happens to me all the time. If I start a reply and then decide not to hit “add comment”, invariably my next reply goes to where my previous attempt was started. Did that make sense or am I drunk too?
That is Globie..the mascot of the Harlem Globetrotters. I saw him do this at a show just last week. The ref knew it was coming…but it was still damn funny.
For the record, I have checked out Failbooking. It’s kind of like the Burn of the Week, but it’s every single post. Sure, it’s kinda funny, but it’s much more fun here!
♪ Mascot Sally, now baby
Guess you better slow

I don’t know how this relates but that’s the first thing that came to my mind after I watched the video.
“All right brain, you don’t like me, and I don’t like you. But let’s just get me through this, and I can get back to killing you with beer.” ~Homer Simpson
*leads parade on Yoshi, as huge floats of goombas, koopa troopers and bowsers follow*

That scene is actually scripted out. The mascot is from a national company that travels to random sporting events to perform. They’re called Zooperstars, you tube them.
I have a regular chopper and it’s good for small quantities. I especially like using for chopping garlic since we pretty much put garlic in everything we eat.
I lust after a very specific and ridiculously expensive garlic press. We used to sell them at the gourmet kitchenware store I used to work in. It has umlauts in the name, and I can’t seem to get those to work here for me, but the name is Roesle (I think I spelled that right). I managed to sell something like ten of them. And when they cost $30+ a pop, that’s saying something!
It’s really sturdy and well made. It’s also very easy to clean. It isn’t plastic, doesn’t have the brand name in BIG BRIGHT letters, and generally looks good.
I use garlic nearly every day, but only a clove or less at a time, so a press is a better idea for me than a chopper.
I do have two tiny electric choppers, they get used for other things.
That not only wouldn’t happen with this one, I don’t think it could happen.
I have reached a point where I am willing to pay for things that are really nice. No more “I-need-one-but-I-don’t-want-to-spend-a-lot-so-I’ll-just-get-this-one” and end up replacing the dratted thing six times, by that time spending MORE than if I had bought the nice one in the first place.
My theory on pretty much everything I buy exactly. I would rather do without – which I do many times – than end up with something I have to replace over and over again.
I’m very fond of my Pampered Chef garlic press — it’s made of metal (so the part with the holes is sculpted right into the handle). It has a little plastic part with a flat side you can use to scrape the clingy bits of garlic off the press, a long sticky-out part you can use to take the skin out of the press (you don’t have to peel ahead of time, though I usually do), and little prongs that fit into the holes to make cleaning it quite easy.
Pampered Chef also has a nifty chopper much like the one Vince is currently trying to sell. I haven’t tried it on anything really hard, but it works like a dream on mushrooms — makes prepping for homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup very easy. Incidentally, my red tabby, Skimble, zooms to the kitchen whenever I get out that chopper — he knows that means mushrooms are apaw & they’re his favorite treat.
I have a Pampered Chef chopper that I love to bits. I got it mainly to do onions, because I never did master the art of cutting one without crying a river.
I got one of those “aligator” type onion choppers, only to have it crack the first time I used it. It can still be used, but I really should have gotten a better quality device.
I guess they think it looks vaguely like an alligators head. It’s flat at one end (where the hinges are) and rounded at the other. It has two interchangeable cutting grids. You open the thing up, put the cutting grid in, place your onion (or whatever) on top of the grid and close the thing. It takes quite a bit of effort to close it, too. It is a P.O.S.
This is terribe, why did this make failblog? It’s a Harlem Globetrotters game. The mascot does this all the time. The ref knows it’s coming. He’s playing along. You can youtube a ton of other videos just like this. Failblog should research before posting.
This is terribe [sic]. Why did this person post this? A bunch of other people have already said everything in this post…there are a ton of other comments exactly like this on Failblog. Posters should research before posting.
Exactly. That ref is as real as pro wrestling refs.
I think I will post a video of Chevy Chase doing a fall on Saturday Night Live and call it ‘TV Star Fail’. That should meet the recent standards on failblog.org.

Theres also a video of this mascot dancing in a very original way (:
Go figure where it is
Would it be some gameplay footage of SMB? Coz this mascot totally reminds me of Mario.

I found the stupid princess (I hate the damsel in distress drama) – at the last level and that ugly big turtle is hard to beat.
Princess, schmincess. I’ll take the knight in shining armo(u)r.
Do you know how long it takes to undress a shining armour?
Hee! That’s Bowser. You’ll kill him and save the princess for all of 2 weeks before Bowser resurrects and steals her.
It’s been the base storyline of the Mario franchise for over 40 years now.
He comes back???

It was actually a number of small things that added up to I-can’t-deal-with-it-anymore. Let’s just say he has some growing up to do.

Sorry it didn’t work out, Avis. Just do what you have to do to be happy. *squeeze*
Avis, I wouldn’t give him the benefit of a reply. He left a beautiful, intelligent lady like you, and that’s his loss. You should let him realise that he’s probably made the biggest mistake.
I left him. He’s hurt and sad, but doesn’t know how to express that in any way other than anger. Also one of the reasons we aren’t together anymore.
I know it’s none of my business buuuut, sounds like someone is looking to lay it on you for some closure.
I’m sure he is, and he can type it out.
Shouldn’t the mascot for the Cavs be like, a knight or something?
That’s not any Cavs mascot that I’ve seen. The Cavs mascot, Moondog, is named after the guy who invented the term “rock ‘n roll”.
His behaviour does seem a touch cavalier …
Obviously a maverick mascot.
Now, you’ve bruined everything!

You’re drunk.

We’ll have to keep an eye on the occurrences to see if it is related to the previous letters typed or some other pattern.

As long as you have a big enough dinner, missing t shouldn’t be too bad.

Wait, wait, wait. Arthur…you were missing a ‘t’ in your “previous comment”??
So you had meant to say, “Had that toot”?? Or perhaps, “Thad that too”?
Oooooh…you meant to say “NOT really”! HAH!! I think I need to drink more, because your “No really” made perfect sense to me.

Yes.
I watched Ghostbusters on video once. Does that help?
I like that he stuck his tongue out at him.
Is that what it was? I thought it was an arm that didn’t agree with him.
It’s a Harlem Globetrotters game/show. I’ve seen the mascot do that before.
Well, that would make a lot more sense.

ZOMG!!! Are you gonna buy some?
ROFL!
Considering the quality of the ShamWows, NO!
I have a regular chopper and it’s good for small quantities. I especially like using for chopping garlic since we pretty much put garlic in everything we eat.
I lust after a very specific and ridiculously expensive garlic press. We used to sell them at the gourmet kitchenware store I used to work in. It has umlauts in the name, and I can’t seem to get those to work here for me, but the name is Roesle (I think I spelled that right). I managed to sell something like ten of them. And when they cost $30+ a pop, that’s saying something!
I like garlic presses but you can only do one clove at a time. I usually grind a lot of them and put it in the freezer to keep it ‘fresh’.
What do you like about this particular press?
It’s really sturdy and well made. It’s also very easy to clean. It isn’t plastic, doesn’t have the brand name in BIG BRIGHT letters, and generally looks good.
I use garlic nearly every day, but only a clove or less at a time, so a press is a better idea for me than a chopper.
I had a garlic press that I had to replace. The bottom – where the garlic squeeze through literally fell out.
That not only wouldn’t happen with this one, I don’t think it could happen.
I have reached a point where I am willing to pay for things that are really nice. No more “I-need-one-but-I-don’t-want-to-spend-a-lot-so-I’ll-just-get-this-one” and end up replacing the dratted thing six times, by that time spending MORE than if I had bought the nice one in the first place.
My theory on pretty much everything I buy exactly. I would rather do without – which I do many times – than end up with something I have to replace over and over again.
I have to look into this garlic press.
I’m very fond of my Pampered Chef garlic press — it’s made of metal (so the part with the holes is sculpted right into the handle). It has a little plastic part with a flat side you can use to scrape the clingy bits of garlic off the press, a long sticky-out part you can use to take the skin out of the press (you don’t have to peel ahead of time, though I usually do), and little prongs that fit into the holes to make cleaning it quite easy.
Pampered Chef also has a nifty chopper much like the one Vince is currently trying to sell. I haven’t tried it on anything really hard, but it works like a dream on mushrooms — makes prepping for homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup very easy. Incidentally, my red tabby, Skimble, zooms to the kitchen whenever I get out that chopper — he knows that means mushrooms are apaw & they’re his favorite treat.
I was just gonna say that I LOVE my Pampered Chef garlic press! All one piece and EASY to clean.
That’s the chopper I have. It’s fun, and I can work out my agressions while I cook.
I have a Pampered Chef chopper that I love to bits. I got it mainly to do onions, because I never did master the art of cutting one without crying a river.
I got one of those “aligator” type onion choppers, only to have it crack the first time I used it. It can still be used, but I really should have gotten a better quality device.
“Aligator” types?
*ahem*
Alligator.
That’s how it’s described in a lot of the print ads and in the cooking magazines.
I think she was actually asking for clarification on what an “alligator” type chopper IS…’cuz I have no freakin’ clue, either.
Ah.
I had to google it.
*squeezes Dragon*
Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.
Is it an Ali-gator if someone from Turkey breeds with a crocodile?
I guess they think it looks vaguely like an alligators head. It’s flat at one end (where the hinges are) and rounded at the other. It has two interchangeable cutting grids. You open the thing up, put the cutting grid in, place your onion (or whatever) on top of the grid and close the thing. It takes quite a bit of effort to close it, too. It is a P.O.S.
Why would you chop turkey with an alligator to make bread?
*hic*
Because I can.
Good night!
*squeeze*
*goodnightgladyoucouldcomeandplaywithussqueeeeeze*
You can your turkey bread? Weird.
*squeeze*
I got a nice chopper for x-mis last year and it work great
Is it possible that the ref deserved it?
So…bored. Need…reply. Someone…REPLY.

Thanks Avis. You saved my day… or rather afternoon.
I hate to tell you this… but I have to go take care of some laundry now. I’ll only be gone for a few minutes though.
You will be missed…
*snork*
*GASP*
Avis! You’re back!
*squeeze*

What do you think?
I think the earth is having another bad day… damn global warming.
Perhaps earth needs to take a chill pill and just…chill.
Sigh…anything to save the penguins…
*plants chill pill in backyard and hopes thet it helps*
*replaces “e” in “thet” with an “a”
This is terribe, why did this make failblog? It’s a Harlem Globetrotters game. The mascot does this all the time. The ref knows it’s coming. He’s playing along. You can youtube a ton of other videos just like this. Failblog should research before posting.
This is terribe [sic]. Why did this person post this? A bunch of other people have already said everything in this post…there are a ton of other comments exactly like this on Failblog. Posters should research before posting.
This is termite?
Termites do invade from the ground up.
Is it terminal?
Only if you’re a termagant.
No.
THIS. IS. TERMITE!
*noms wood*
THERMITE???!!!
*dives underground*
*keeps tunneling down until he hears Chinese*
Or at least stay in their caves.
ARTHUR! ARTHUR! IT’S MGG!
*thinks it’s hysterical that that name is sticking*
*feels like she’s missing something*
What name?
*facepalm*
Nevermind. I figured it out.
*was missing her brain, apparently*
Something about minty green guys from outer space…we humo(u)r her.
Yep, cause 7 posts out of 300+ constitutes a ton. So, from now on, 2% = a ton.
I guess that makes you smarter than a ton of 5th graders.
WHINEBLOG… DOT ORG!!!
GRIPEBLOG… DOT ORG!!!
How many times do you have to read the same thing before it gets through that ton of brick wall?
42!
If you know there are 7 posts all stating the very same thing that you did, then you should know that WE ALREADY KNEW THAT!!!!!
Not to mention that “2% = a ton” failed as sarcasm.
~Not at all!~
The fail is not in the reading, but in the comprehension.
*throws back shot*
*catches shot*
*drinks*
*holds up cards that say 9.7*
Exactly. That ref is as real as pro wrestling refs.
I think I will post a video of Chevy Chase doing a fall on Saturday Night Live and call it ‘TV Star Fail’. That should meet the recent standards on failblog.org.

Because it is the people here that are responsible for promoting this to the front page.
How can you be so sure?
Singular, please. It’s MY fault.
Oh hell…you beat me to it. I was going to blame you anyway.
You just said it! Does that mean I can be blamed again?
WOOHOO! That’s unLAME! We can blame again!
It’s all your fault we couldn’t blame people in the first place :p
WOOHOOOO!!!
That means I can FLAME again!!!
*goes to find someone to *FOOOOOOM!!*

I am not impressed.
Just send in your picture, that’ll be enough.

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
Thanks GS. I needed that.
Glad to be of service!
*SQUEEEEEZEY!*
Hmmmm…. let’s try this again…
not a fail. Just entertainment. I see two Harlem Globetrotters in the back.
*not a WIN. lmao wow.
Every NBA player’s dream. How sad that only the mascot can fulfill it.
Yes, that was a Harlem Globetrotters game. It was around Christmas, and being from Cleveland I went to it.
Neither fail nor win.
Failblog is getting boring.
This win is really a fail.
In case anyone didn’t know, that’s Globie from the Harlem Globetrotters. You can see more video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
This is the Harlem Globetrotters, the the globe does that every show…

That mascot has the weight of the world on his shoulders….
This is the mascot is from the Harlem Globetrotters. They do this all of the time.
