There she blows!!
inside the john, a man full of hot air passing gas
Outside the john, a man passing with gas in a hot air
♫ Up up up and away in my beautiful balloon♫
That is a WIN, my friend.
WIN!
That’s called air balloon toilet bowling.
STRIKE!
I believe that’s a spare.
I think this sport is called Flaunkerton.
No I am pretty sure its a strike
Gracie, sweetie, you really need to work on your aim.
(I suspect she did that on purpose!!)
Of course I did.
(The outhouse is full of Trolls)
PS: I sent you a friend request on FB2, Dragon.
Both in the balloon and out(house).
And with John(boys)
Sorry. Typo. Jon(boys)
Maybe he was trying to take it with him incase he had to go?
They actually have smaller versions of that now. I believe that I saw the ad here on Fail Blog.
Now that you put it that way, it was a smart move.
No one likes to poop on the floor of an air balloon.
Urine sh!t now, buddy!
That is a balloon WIN.
Why thank you.
Nice checkered outfit, BTW, Gracie.
I was flying incognito.
Are those the old 80′s checkered sunglasses?
*snicker*
Watch that 1st launch its a loo loo.
I think gary from london was in there what made him go to statue of liberty, unfortunatly he now lives, were She blows….
And the failblog diet continues.
The pressure in his bladder must have been ballooning.
i was having a shit why did they do that
When I first looked, I didn’t even see the porta-potty. All I thought of was Balloon Boy.
It’s a much more pleasant thought without the porta-potty.
Try to think of the poor person in the balloon, panicking over their lack of elevation.
Try not to think of the poor person who had to use the facilities at this unfortunate moment.
I was actually thinking of the poor person who had to clean it up after it toppled over.
Or the person under it that it fell on.
The whole point of this event was to knock over the porta potty. That’s crazy-n-blue at the indianola balloon festival, I was there. It takes a lot of skill to take off from a location miles away with only the wind to steer you and to hit a target that low and that small. In fact the event was sponsored by a porta potty company so it was a clever idea.
And there was nobody in there at the time.
Does anyone else find it odd that nobody in the pictures seems terribly upset by this? All the fans are relaxed and there doesn’t seem to be any flinching body language. Huh. Just another day in the crapper for those folks.
Peter Grifin:”it is just everywhere”
It is part of their cult(ure)
Nobody is upset because it is a planned competition in Indianola, Iowa. 100 balloon pilots fly in to the field where the empty porta-potty sits. The pilot who tips it over wins a prize.
Then shouldn’t some of them appear to be cheering?
Perhaps that pilot is an a$$hat & nobody was rooting for him.
Like the Jeff Gordon of hot air baloonists?
This was at a competition in Indianola Iowa, the first person to hit the outhouse with their basket won a cash prize. (no joke)
That is because it is done on purpose. Its a competition to see who can knock it over. Trust me I crew for these guys in that town.
It’s actually a competition where the goal is to tip the outhouse- that guy won a pretty good prize for doing that. The tradition of the competition does stem from an actual accident supposedly, though.
Ppl weren’t upset by this because it was the entire point of the event, nobody was in there or had been in there ever.
It is the new and improved portable restroom.
They need to improve. These are crap!
“Ugghhh. It’s everywhere! It’s in my raccoon wounds!”
Whoever was in there is going to have the blues.
Or the browns.
That’s the sh!ts.
Looks like someone’s down in the dumps.
Well, crap. Now what do we do?
Commence an evacuation?
A gas-filled balloon?
I hear those are crap.
Jenkem?
*sends self to naughty corner*
Gracie, shouldn’t you stop and leave your insurance information?
Muahahaha! Try to catch me!
*shoots into the air and flies away*
*jumps*
*hands grab nothing but air*
Hooray!
Next time go for the toilet paper stuck to the bottom of the shoe.
Who was that masked checkered balloon woman?
Perhaps she’ll be back, 3Bs, perhaps we’ll never know…
Although, she does look suspiciously like Gracie, in a mask and a checkered outfit.
hmm…
*takes away gun*
Careful! You’ll put a hole in the balloon if you keep shooting like that.
They’re taking it in case someone needs to go while up there.
Has the site been down for a while? I couldn’t get in after lunch.
I had technical difficulties earlier too, around 10:30pm (so 2:30 FB time)
WordPress was down, apparently (clickie). For those who don’t know, the FB1 Twitter stream (ht tp://twitter.com/failblog) is public, so you needn’t be on Twitter yourself to read it, and you can also subscribe to it in your RSS reader / RSS-enabled browser:
ht tp://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/14999880.rss
I feel so old, now. Waaaay too much of that looks as if it was written in Swahili.
I get the gist (though I’m still not sure what RSS readers and RSS feeds are).
I have no idea what RSS feeds and RSS readers are either.
RSS (=”Really Simple Syndication” or “Rich Site Summary”) is a method of distributing frequently updated content (from headlines with links to full articles or posts, and even audio podcasts). The presence of a feed is usually indicated by the square orange and white icon shown enlarged on the Wikipedia page (clickie). Feeds are supported in most of the major browsers (FF3, IE8, Opera 10 via Opera Mail, Safari; but not Google Chrome), some e-mail programmes (Thunderbird) and other software including dedicated readers: in FF, for example, once once subscribes to a feed (usually a single click) it appears as a kind of constantly updated bookmark folder on one of your toolbars; while in Thunderbird feed items are displayed and managed much like e-mail.
But the good thing about the Twitter stream is that if one can’t or doesn’t want to go the RSS route, anyone can read the public FB1 feed just as a webpage, and there’s even a pared down version suitable for mobile devices and slow connections at
ht tp://m.twitter.com/failblog
The advantage is, of course, that Twitter is independent of this site, so can be updated even when FB1 or WordPress is down (and while Twitter is famous for its Fail Whale when over capacity, chances are it won’t be down simultaneously with FB1).
Clickie for more on the WP downtime.
Yup…it’s only just gotten back up! WHEEEEEE!
I was wondering what had happened.
It appears that my DSL is also having issues. Again.
Which issues? I think I missed some when my subscription ran out.
Wrong kind of issues. I’m only on-line right now because someone nearby has an un-secured wi-fi signal. My DSL is down for the count. It might have something to do with the crappy modem the AirPort is hooked up to.
It got knocked over by a balloon.
What a crappy thing to have happen.
Then they had to call over the EPA to clean up the mess.
We need to get you a more stable grave, ZA.
“I Wonder If Anyone Was In There” is not a question.
Yes, it is. It has one of these “?” things on the end. It’s called a “question mark”! Did you not learn about them in pre-school?
If it were a question, it would make no sense.
Eg. “I hope nobody got hurt?” <– nonsensical. How would you answer that?
Easy, with “Did they die.”
Right. I believe a correct way of asking would be: “I wonder – was anyone in there?” Perhaps “I wondered if anyone was in there.” The latter would be a statement rather than a question.
As written, it’s incorrect.
*squeeze*
It’s so lovely not being the only total grammar geek on the blog!
Have I told you lately how fond I am of you, Dragon?
*squeeze*
I just had to remind a colleague (who came to me for the info — so I didn’t have to harass him or anything) that apostrophes show possession rather than plurals. I didn’t bother to mention that apostrophes also hold the places of missing letters.
You confused me
Sowwy.
No Pwoblem
It is if it’s uttered by a teenaged girl (yes, that was a broad generalization). There’s even a term for it, “upspeak”. And it drives me up a wall!
if that thing ever flips over in mid-air, there’s going to be some smelly rain sprinkling across the neighborhood…
“OH SHI-” *splooge*
SSPPEEELLLUUUNNNKKKK!
i wonder if this is balloon boy part ii
See?! I wasn’t the only one whose mind went there.
I went there too
oh, shit!….literally
That guy must have been pissed off.
Better than being pissed on, I often say.
Really…? Often??
Now I’m kinda wishing I had more situations in my life where I could use that.
NS must have some amazing conversations alright.
We know it’s you, Gracie.
first!
not.
Bad ideas for Punkd #122.
Once again no one is about and this time I feel lousy. There is a great promise that I shall feel lousy all night and into the weekend. With that in mind it is time for a chicken soup joke to make me feel better.
Moments before a famous Shakespearean actor was to perform Hamlet to a packed house in New York, he dropped dead. The house manager solemnly went onstage and announced, “We are sorry to bring you this news, but our performance tonight has been canceled due to the untimely demise of our featured performer.”
From the back of the theater a voice cried out, “Give him some chicken soup!”
Startled, the stage manager cleared his throat and replied, “I apologize if in my grief I have not made my solemn message clear. The man is deceased.”
Once again, but more emphatically the voice rang out, “Give him some chicken soup!”
Having had about enough, the manager bellowed back, “Sir, the man is dead. Giving him chicken soup couldn’t possibly help.”
To which the voice replied, “It couldn’t hurt!”
Now a cancer joke. Before anyone gripes, I’m allowed to do these. So there.
What do you call a person who has a compulsion to get lymphoma over and over again? . . .
A lymphomaniac.
*snorkity-squeeze*
Hi there.
‘Allo!
Survive your Make Like a Pincushion Day?
I did…and things are much, much better. Thanks!
I’m heading off to bed now…sweet sleeps for you! *squeeze*
Me too. Night.
I wish all the Fail Peeps could be around when you are able to post, coyote. We miss you.
If there was a fan in there, I’m sure
something unpleasant hit it.
Hey guys,
I’m from the town this happened and it’s actually a competition who can knock this thing over!
SO don’t make fun about them!
Yay! I am from there too! I am so happy someone else knows this is not a FAIL and that its a competition. I actually crew for one of these guys!
must have been a floater
Airborn(e)
Oh no! It hit the TARDIS!
LoL, I thought that too, I know it’s a port-a-loo and not a blue phone box, but they look pretty similar. XD
*fap fap fap fa-* WHAT THE F*CK!
Must be a high pressure area.
win.
Oooof!!!!!
This is why you should never get on my bad side.
Oh are you the pilot of that balloon?
No, I am the balloon.
Oh god, it’s everywhere!
ewwww! thats like the ultimate swirly.
now i know why the toilet i used fell of…..
that is a hilarious because i was in a baloon and we almost hit a buck
………….thats would be unfortunate with a capital “U” if someone was in there……..
“o god, it’s everywhere! it’s in my raccoon wounds!”
”There’s sh*t every wear!”
Oh God, it’s everywhere. It’s even in my raccoon wounds!
It is actually a contest they do at Balloon Days in Indianola, Iowa. That is a win!

!
What a Crappy take off!
beautiful. *_|_*
if someone was in there it’s not good
