Discrete Effort Recognized in Person?
Do Everything Really Perfectly?
Okay, the blogmonster has officially eaten THREE of my responses to this, and it’s really pissing me off.
Don’t ever repeat posts?
Dramatic efforts ruin play.
Don’t eat remotes, please.
Dragon Expects Rejected Posts
nooo……… do emos rasp possums
effort fail?
technique win.

mmmmm, braaaaaaaiiiiinnnzzzzzzzzz.
*facepalm*
Should have known not to use the b-word.
You okay? Were they juicy enough?
Why are you looking at me so funny?
“I can’t get over how FAST they all are, it’s not even fair. I’m calling zombie bullshit on that, you know?”
Ninja Zombies. They are everywhere. Especially in bad Will Smith movies.
But not in I Am legend, that one had robots
Effort win!
Yay, more space to play!
Whhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And with that, farewell, and a wonderful evening to you all!

Happy Weekend!
The new Toyota window cleaner. It never stops!!
Grrrr. Video doesn’t work on my computer. Help?
did you press the play button?
~No, I just stared blankly at the frozen image of the window cleaner bloke and waited inanely for something to happen~
You’re just being impatient. Wait longer.
Loading…………….
Guy cleaning the glass sides of a flat escalator (the kind you get in airports). He’s just standing on the moving walkway and cleaning the glass while he slides.
Then he hits an overpass.
Then Billy mays jumps into shot and says..
Just from that description, I can’t stop laughing. Poor man.
It’s ok. The
truckman won.Jon; has forgot to describe the win itself. The guy is just standing on this moving sidewalk (that’s what they call them in LAX), holding a wool window cleaner in his left hand and a squeegee in his right. Poor moving sidewalk is literally doing ALL the work.
Then came the overpass out of nowhere. Total cheap shot.
Yeah, ZA put it much better.
I’m no Shakespeare at 11 30pm.
You want Shakespeare? I can do Shakespeare:
A bored servant doth stand on the pathway
And ho, look at how clever he doth be.
Thy lazy janitor just lets machines
do thy work for him as he stands and waits.
*STANDS AND APPLAUDS!*
BRAVA BRAVA
*Wipes a tear from my eye.*
It was so beautiful.
It was better than LOLCats.
Aw, shucks, guys. You hath embarrassed me.
Wait ’til Dragon sees it! I think she’ll like it!
Problem, NS?
Grr…
Wait, did you just call the servant a ho?
That does appear to be the case.
So does he hang over the edge to get the other side?
If it works, why not?
I noticed he is not concentrateing on the job in hand, he might have a work accident
Remember, Safety is Third.
This won’t leave a streak-free shine.
Congrats Aja!!! Woo-hoo!!
*starts bubble machine*
But…. why?
You do not question the bubbles. :[
*puts gag in feocart’s mouth*

Always good to have two choices, red and white!
*holds out two glasses*
Yes, please.
Any apple juice and sprite? (btw: to young to drink)
*throws an extra “o” in MGG’s post”
I am old enough I will have a White Russian thank you.
Oohh, that sounds good! One for me? Please?
*Mixes up a White Russian with Vanilla Vodka (that’s my secret recipe) and hands it to Avis*
Cheers!
Mmmm! Thankies!
*sips*
Mmmmm!

Might I have one, too, please?
*blink.blink*
*makes an extra strong WR for JGB*
*poofs into Classy fail*
Pass one this way to. What mommy don’t know won’t hurt me.
How young are you?
I am 14.
BTW. My beginning was on the unbreakable phane fail LGB.
You’re kidding. You’re way too mature for fourteen.
*replaces a in phane with o*
*facepalm*
sorry MGG but i will get in trouble if I support in the delinquency of a minor.
*hands MGG a virgin WR*
(which is just half and half)
enjoy
No. I’m not kidding. I really am 14. And anyone in my class will say I’m not mature.
BondFan was 14 when he started off here. His 15th birthday was shortly after he started, but he was still 14.
SORRY LGB!! That “J” snuck in there…I swear I know your name!
Yes… but BondFan was a sophisticated Brit. Duh.
No worries, Jaysen!
And Shadow, you are how old again? Right around there if I’m not mistaken.
Yup. The key difference being that I am in no way mature.
I beg to differ, Shadow. You are quite mature for your age. I’ve always thought so, and so do all the other FPs…
One question. What definition of mature are we using?
oh boy y’all are making me feel old. and I’m only 22…
I propose a test.
A man driving a truck crashes into a freeway overpass. Do you point and laugh?
☐ Yes
☐ No
Well, we are all across the board when it comes to ages here. If you can hold your own with the “grown-ups”, you’ll be considered “mature”.
Jaysen, I remember 22. It was some time ago, but I remember it.
*checks yes*
*(footnote) HAHAHAHAHAHA! The fool!*
Mature in how you express yourself, MGG. Also, using proper grammar, punctuation, etc., here counts as maturity here…
I thank you, LGB.
Yes. There are several other, less important rules… For example, my favorite is Irrelevant Rule #3,376-J:
When acting “fancy”, one must wear a monocle, a top hat, own an estate with at least one large grassy field for playing polo, and speak in a horrible attempt at a posh, upper-class British accent.
*adjusts monacle*
*swaggers cane*
You mean pewlew, old bean.
*sips tea*
*holds out glass*
*looks hopeful … and thirsty … and very hopeful*
There, there nightshayde.
*pours her Jaysen’s special mix*
Can I see an ID kitteh? You are far too cute to be of age…
*giantweekendsqueezesJaysen*
Jaysen – that’s the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day.
I have shirts and stuffed animals that are over the legal drinking age.
Well — except for powering the 10am fail…
Ooh, thank you. I was wondering where I’d put those.
*puts glasses on*
Now I can see!
*¡ƃnןƃ ƃnןƃ ƃnןƃ ƃnןƃ*
*blocks off local roads*
*starts dance party*
Feocart, there is a celebration for when a regular’s fail gets on the page.
*grabs a hand full of noise makers and passes them out.*
As long as that’s really a bubble machine and not Jules again, we’re good.
Poor timing, it’s early morning Aja time! Congrats, buddy!
*pops bubbly anywho*
We’ll leave a mimosas out for your breakfast.
how do you power a fail anyway? is it purely random or did Aja submit this? Congrats to Aja either way!
It’s random. You just have to leave a comment and hope that it powers a fail. Although half the time the ‘Powered By’ is just a generic comment posted by a passer-by.
ok cool, thank you Shadow!
**WOOOOOO-HOOOOOO!!!**
Yay, Aja! Yay!
WHOOO! AJA!
*shoots fireworkers that spell out A-J-A*
They must be very limber.
And dead now.
Yes. They are. Poor Fireworks, but they had it coming.

That was impressive…

it’s like Ms B’s still here.
Hard to tell, but it looks like DCA (Regan National Airport in DC)
I was thinking the Incheon Airpor in Korea. Airports tend to look alike.
Here is a question. You can have an Airport, a Carport, or a Seaport. Why do trains only have yards and stations?
Because “Trainport” is hard to say.
Why do you park on the driveway and drive on the parkway?
*Bad seinfeld impression*What’s the deal with Airplane food?
I can never seem to open the little packs of peanuts…
There really isn’t airplane food anymore… is there?
And that is why I have started the charity “Feed the Airports”. We can’t let the airports starve. There are airports right now that don’t have any food.
*Holds up spoon*
Here comes the airplane…
You know how those runway models are about food.
Do not want?
They think that they can live on air.
They certainly try to at least.
Why is it called a Hot Water Heater? If the water was hot, it wouldn’t need heating.
I’m pretty sure it’s just a Water Heater.
I get annoyed when people talk about going to “ATM Machines.”
“Progress” and “Congress” amuse me.
I came up with a new strategy for Obama. He can propose the direct opposite of whatever he wants to have happen — then the Republicans will all vote against whatever Obama proposes & the good guys will win.
*SNORK* I think you’re on to something there!!! Knee-jerk (emphasis on jerk) does seem to be popular in that group.
I was thinking it was Incheon as well. It brings back memories of a very long layover.
99% sure it’s Hong Kong…
That’s one way to signal to your boss that you can easily be replaced with a machine…
Or that you can work smarter, not harder.
<Geico>So easy, a zombie could do it.</Geico>
*RIGLMAO*
Now, that just won’t slide here.
moving on…
Exit, stage left.
Easy come, easy go.

I think Feocart was continuing the pun run?

Cherish that word while you can use it. It may be moderated tomorrow.
The ‘I’ word is no longer moderated?!
For now… there don’t appear to be ANY moderated words.
There’s a fail from yesterday that reads like a script from the Sopranos. F-bombs everywhere!!
My goodness — I was cracking up so hard at Leila’s post with all the Fs in it…
Shadow, I think it’s important that you know —–
There is no moderation on the blog at all. Whatsoever. None. Zippo.
Pour. Damn homonyms. They’ll get you every time.
What are nyms? And why are they homo?
*raises one eyebrow*
Nono, MGG. No homo, k? K.
Homo-nyms. Which raises the question “Why are they homo?”
Nono, MGG. No homo. K? K.
K…
Mature people don’t use words like that. We don’t even make jokes like that. It can hurt peoples’ feelings and it perpetuates stereotypes.
Okay. I’m so sorry everyone. I wrote the first thing that popped into my head.
*facepalm*
*headdesk*
*applies bandaids*
KKK? Where?
Yeah. Sorta.

You’re okay, sweetie. You’re among friends. Don’t worry about it.

I’ve made mistakes too. Here, check this one out:

That taught me to be careful before I use the “TROLL!” branding iron.
That was a nice thing for you to do for MGG, Shadow.
*squeeze*
Well, what can I say? It was the mature thing to do.
Thanks Shadow. I needed that.

*clicky* NSFW
Now lets watch the file about the F word.
MGG, when someone says NSFW, it means ‘Not Safe For Work.’ And they mean it. The clickie might contain sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll, and other bad stuff you don’t want to know. Ever. Ever. Be warned!
oops. sorry, forgot about the new Failpeep.
It’s okay, CR — I just wanted to warn MGG because he’s a bit young for the blog…
*squeeze*
*shrugs*
Seen and heard worse at school.
Given your age, and the current social atmosphere in this country, I bet you have seen worse! It shouldn’t really be that way, but what can you do?
Just sit back and laugh. That’s what I do, unless I’m involved in some way.
A couple of words to the wise, first, NEVER EVER click on one of granny catflap’s links. They are almost all of them not safe for work. Second if I say you should clickie my link, but there’s this icon
you might not want to do it. Unless you happen to have a vat of eye/brain bleach handy.
In general be very careful about clicking links people post here. Some of them can not be forgotten, no matter how much brain bleach you apply
Yeah, I’m sorry about that.
I heard through unofficial channels that the moderator took a small vacation to try out for Zombie Idol (clickie clickie!!) after repeated attacks by me turned him into a zombie. Repeatedly. Again. And again.
Escalator…. moving…..
moving on……………….

Fix your damn CSS errors up top. Hella amateur status.
ZA, Scotty? Can anyone translate this for us?
I, being a modern, hip, young OG from da hood, can translate dis shizz fo you:
“In this sentence, I am complaining about an error with the website that most likely actually stems from a problem specific to my computer. In this next sentence, I am attempting to instult the PTB, who will most likely never read this comment, using a word I learned from the ‘cool’ kids at elementary school.”
*removes extra ‘T’*
*stores for later use*
Thank goodnes you were here!
*squeeze*
It’s all in a day’s work for Shadow Man.
Looks like the Incheon Airport in Korea. Anyone?
*speeds up clip and plays Benny Hill music*
and now it’s perfect.
*edits clip to have the guy go by multiple times and addeds Crazy Sax song*
That’s how you’re supposed to clean those things. What else would you do? Try to crawl really quickly and squeegee up and down? And then when he’s done with that side, he goes back the other way on the other moving sidewalk. Usually, they spray the bottom while they squeegee the top, by the way.

I snore.
Win… I lol’d.
Which one, Avis? Failbooking?
It’s the one they mention below the fail. All about work related “fun”.
I LOL’d.
MthruF.com?
Oh, man! That is frickin’ funny! The PTB have another winner there….
Yes, that would be the one.
There can only be one.

You guys should rename this blog to Winblog because of the HUGE amout of wins you postet recently!
I’m so bored. Someone. SPEAK TO ME! (please. no trolls)
*uses mind control to bring people to him*
Dude, I responded to you up there a bit ☝.
It does get kinda slow about this time of the evening.
I know. It’s killing the mood.
The mood? Failblog has a mood?
… Wait. So is that why there’s so much flirting going on here?
Yes. That’s also why there are secret vents that excrete a “special” gas.
*Spins around*
Wheeeee! I love this gas!
That would explain a lot, now wouldn’t it.
Can someone tell the Stranger below to leave me alone. He keeps staring at me…
Turn your webcam off!!!
That’s just it. There’s. No. Webcam.
*shudders*
That’s creepy.
HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL!
And it’s about to get slower. Night!
G’night ZA! Have fun… doing… whatever it is zombies do when they aren’t at work!
Night night Zombie dude. You will be missed.
Bah – no wonder he never replied to my Oingo Boingo-related posts.
*pouts*
hey there little one i am gonna speak to you while you sip your tea and eat your cookies…
GASP! STRANGER DANGER
*5 eagles picks up Minty green guy and drops him back into Avis”s safe yard.*
Thanks 5 Eagles. He wouldn’t stop staring.
Ok, totally off topic (as if we ever stay on topic):
Who here has seen the movie “Home Alone”
(Yes, there’s a point to this question and I’ll get to it AFTER people answer)
Of course a question mark might have helped.
*tosses one up*
I’ve seen bits and pieces.
But it’s a cute kid’s movie right?
That kid?
He grew up a little and starred in a film called “Party Monster”.
I will never be able to see “Home Alone” the same way again.
Really? What happened?
Young Mr. Caulkin plays a twenty(ish) club-kid in the early 80’s. He was a freaking sociopath. Homicidal at that. That sweet little boy grew up to play a narcissistic, drug addled, murder… and he did a fantastic job of portraying the creep!!
You could go buy the DVD, but be warned, your folks? Will not approve!
Hhmmm… sociopath… I like it already…
It’s sad, heartbreakingly so. And has you on the edge of your seat, not because it’s action packed (it’s really not), but because it’s like a trainwreck in action and you just can’t not watch to see what he does next!
It’s very counter-culture, and shows just how seedy the club scene was in those days.
It all sounds pretty good, but I gotta go. My mom’s being bitch again. Good bye til tomorrow my failpeeps!
Ah youth!
And “Party Monster” is based on a true story!!!!!
But what happened?! The suspense is killing me!
SUSPENSE!!!
Relax, it just took me a bit to type it. I’m not the best typist around and I was trying to choose my words verrrrrrrry carefully.
Never would I have guessed that “Look for a Macaulay Culkin movie to add to Blockbuster queue” would be on my to-do list for today.
Is it out on DVD? Avis.
Macloy Maolcome one Yes. I have. Where was Children services on that movie.
OMG IVE BEEN THERE
Whoa, I wish I could go through school like that.
hey, is the the airport at hong kong!?
I second Hong Kong. If it’s not, it’s a close twin. Been through there 6 times (3 round-trippers).
It’s the Shanghai airport!
That’s what I thought! It looks like the Pudong Airport.
I’m positive. Lovely airport; it’s just in the middle of nowhere and that’s the part that annoys me about it.
Indeed Pudong Airport!
So let’s see if I’ve got all of them. This is either an airport in Washington DC, Korea, Hong Kong, or Shanghai. Any other possibilities?
Really, this is all giving credence to the concept that all airports look alike.
It looks just like Paine Field International Airport. Except Paine Field doesn’t have a people mover. Or a terminal. Or a building that looks anything like that. It does have airplanes and a runway though.
It does sorta look like the Barcelona airport. Twelve years ago. If memory serves. Kinda. Maybe.
Since it is on the other side of the Atlantic wouldn’t the people mover move in the opposite direction due to the effect of the Gulf Stream?
Looks like KLIA to me.
Which is where?
this isn’t the only way to fly!
Photoshopped
ur foot is photoshopped!!
oh wow…. I just noticed that he was actually washing with his left hand and wiping with his right…… brilliant O_O
I’m pretty sure that looks like the HK airport..
Nope that is Incheon Airport in Seoul.
I’ve seen a guy wash an escalator’s glass sides that way before, but it looks so much funnier when it’s completely horizontal.
efficiency WIN!
Work Smart Not Hard.
Since no is about (yet again) it is time for a chicken joke (yet again).
Why did the chicken cross the road, roll in the mud and cross the road again ?
Because he was a dirty double-crosser
Should read “…no one is…”. It doesn’t matter. No one is about to read it.
Okay. Okay. Since everyone insists, here is another chicken joke.
Why did the dinosaur cross the road ?
Because chickens hadn’t evolved yet
Well that’s all for tonight folks. Thanks for the standing ovation and three curtain calls. Time for me to go to bed now. I’m here all weekend and CDs are for sale in the lobby. Night all!
‘Night, brother canid. I can relate — I usually see them right about the time everyone logs off and goes home. (shrugs) What are ya gonna do, huh?
In my case, I went to bed.
Coyote, whatcha doin’ over here in yesterday?
Seeing if anyone showed up after I went to tomorrow.
Little coyote!!!! Why, oh why, don’t you play during the day anymore?
*squeezesextrahard*
*gives small smoochonacheek*
*doesn’t say which cheek*
Passel of appointments. I also don’t like to tie up the phone line for too long.
lol
Thats a win
Epic Win !!!!!
Please stop brainwashing us with Failbooking! Ok, we saw it! Ok, we are gonna visit it! Ok, we are gonna add it to our RSS feeds!! Now leave us alone!!!
Easy way to clean glass banisters of travellators (and escalators).
Apparently no one here has ever worked with or as a janitor. This is how they clean those things. Both moving sidewalks and escalators are cleaned like that. Can you think of a better way?
lol what a hard job
omg… dad!
now that’s a man who knows how to do his job. Why fight it. I love it.
How is this not a win?
LOL that guy is awesome and he knows it, he has a grin on his face.
This guy is a genius
can anyone explain WHY this video is here???? it’s not a fail or funny… what’s the point?! ALL the cleaning guys do this in the airports.
critical hit on glass receives -9999 hp, it was super effective!
cant call him stupid… i call that a win
Finally, a fail that actually made me laugh.
It’s neither a win nor a fail… it’s just NORMAL
*Zombie approaches blonde*
BRAINS!!!!
*walks away from blonde*
easiest way to do it
and funny
Best job in the world! I bet he gets paid $20/hr too!
thats not a fail. I would have cleaned them the same. that is if that was my job! lol WIN!
wish i could wash my windows like that
thats a win..
Fail? You mean, WIN.
Seems reasonable to me.
Thats HKIA.
That proves that Asians are very smart except for the ones that work for Toyota.
