  1. OMG!!!!!111one11!!11! says:

    first

  2. MelONyx says:

    When they say rough, they really mean it at this course.

  3. 3rd says:

    3rd!!! what the hell is that?

    • Becca says:

      Phoenix open, I was there. That cactus is a jumping cholla. When you touch them, they actually respond by forcing their spines into you. I know the bush the guy fell into, it was massive, must have hurt like hell…

      • skyshade13 says:

        Yeah, I knew somebody who didn’t believe that fact…took a long time to get those spines out of them.

      • Ahmose says:

        Yeah, we have them here in El Paso too, they’re nasty little buggers. I got one in my leg once, and was picking out spines that I’d missed a week later, I HATE THEM! What I find funny though is when people think they know what they’re doing, and grab prickly pears (or tuna, or Indan figs, however you know them). Then they spend hours picking out the spines.

        • Jinny says:

          My mom had bits of cholla stuck in her legs when she was six, and I’m sure they were/are there for as long as possible (they could still be there if they’ve not dissolved or anything)

      • Suzy says:

        Becca? This guy got spined…you didn’t. Guess you have to be smarter (or is it faster?…) than the cholla! LOL

        • Becca says:

          Or know how to use the sidewalk? haha it was really narrow though and I remembered thinking that there shoulda been some sort of fence, I guess I know why…

      • see~jay says:

        Ya out here in phoenix we have those nasty cactus. Last year when i was playing i fell back onto some. One in shoulder and two in back they hurt Like Hell. i could barely stand from the pain.

      • Nyx says:

        Ah, the jumping cholla; the best joke to us desert dwelling people.
        Visitor (snow bird): “They don’t really jump! AHH!!! AHH!!! Get it off!!”

      • grannycatflap says:

        you know a bush?

      • Donald Zerli, former Tucsonian says:

        No, they don’t actually jump. They’re made of sections which break off easily when you brush against them even slightly. The spines are barbed and don’t pull out easily. But they don’t move around on their own power, and they don’t force their needles into you.

    • sauer kraut says:

      cacti, eh? the teener with auntie flo visiting thought he put on tampons that were run thru the dryer. …

  4. TG Solus Sica says:

    He didn’t see the hazard markings until it was too late.

  5. OMG!!!!!111one11!!11! says: says:

    I just keep hitting REFRESH until there is a new post!!!

  6. Laura says:

    Looks like someone fell into the cactus…ouch. Might even be cholla. Double ouch.

  7. skyshade13 says:

    Ouuuuuuccccccchhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

  8. faceh says:

    Ow.

    Ow.

    owowowowowowowowwow

  9. Colin says:

    Looks like Tucson. I’m from there, and tourists are always falling into cactuses (Laura I think you’re right about it being cholla)…or falling asleep sunbathing and getting hospitalized for burns.

    • Jesse Freshwater says:

      I’m from Tucson, too and I see a lot of cacti related injuries. It’s fantastic… What a jerk-off.

      • Mandaloin says:

        Where in Tucson do you see cacti? Maybe I was living in the wrong part… But in Scottsdale they’re everywhere.

        • Steve D. says:

          They’re all over the place in and around Tucson. A lot of people have them in their front yards, and they’re all over Saguaro National Park, both east and west of Tucson. They also line the streets in some areas, and in landscapes in and around businesses I’ve seen. They’re everywhere. I can’t believe you’ve never seen cacti in Tucson.

          I do remember having a nasty run-in with a prickly pear shortly after I first moved here back in ’79, but no cactus-related injuries for me since then.

          • matt c says:

            That does looks at look more like Tucson that Phoenix (I live in Tucson). Maybe it’s from that Marana Golf Tourney that they just had a few weekends ago…

          • Anne says:

            This actually happened to me too back in 2002 in Scottsdale. Had them all over, just about as bad as this! My aunt had to pull them all out with tweezers. Soooo painful!

  10. rekam says:

    Aaaaaaaaaaa that suck cholla cactus are really really painful The really hard part is getting them out

  11. BusyBee411 says:

    PAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN!!!! If he moved it would only hurt more, that’s the ONLY reason this guy is not doubled over sobbing, then again he might be macho. . .

  12. Btrstarwolf says:

    Must…Resist…Tiger Woods joke!

    • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista says:

      Done for you, Btrstarwolf. Thank Mushy ↓↓.

  13. Loryxxx says:

    At least they dont need handcuffs if he did something wrong or if there is a warrant for his arrest so to me its a fail and a win.

  14. Mighty Mush says:

    Those firemen are clearly just admiring the new line of Tiger golf apparel. If I’m not mistaken, his wife designed this particular outfit.

  15. iNAKO says:

    Introducing Prick: by Tiger Woods

  16. zacker says:

    i signed up just to say that

  17. Fresh says:

  19. Mega says:

    Play the (OUCH!!!!) ball (OUCH!!!) where it (OUCH, OWIE!) lies (OWWWWW!)

  20. Critter Rhode *killer of threads, teller of dead jokes* says:

    I can just see it. Friend “You got to hit the ball where it lies.”
    Golfer: “I get to move it out of this fuzzy plant for a one stroke penilty.”
    G: *leans over*
    F: “BOO!”
    The rest as they say is history.

    • FLB *Drinks Acerglyn* says:

      You have to be careful around your fellow pierce, they’ll sometimes play tricks on you.

  21. Prickly says:

    You must play the ball where it lies…

    • Prickly says:

      Beaten to the punchline, but the sting to my pride still isn’t as bad as that golfer’s…

      • ReallyEpicBlowfish ~Awarded Best Poisonous Fish of 2010 by Minty Green Guy~ says:

        Your name gos so well for this post. :)

        • PlutoniumBoss says:

          This dude must spend an hour before each tourney in front of a mirror with the most vicious game face chanting “play it where it lies, play it where it lies…”

  22. Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista says:

    Golfer loathes this plant
    He got too close to it and
    Cacti got revenge.

    • Mighty Mush says:

      *dims the hipster coffeehouse lights*
      *signals jazz band to put down a steady base line*

      That’s one smooth jive you’ve got there, you cool cat you.

    • TG Solus Sica says:

      The cacti spikes hurt.
      The Golfer is not happy.

  23. nightshayde says:

    I’m thinking the little blue gloves the firemen are wearing aren’t really going to help much.

  24. Avis says:

    I think we have a couple of those cacti on our land out in New Mexico. I don’t think I want to get close enough to it to find out though.

    • ReallyEpicBlowfish ~Awarded Best Poisonous Fish of 2010 by Minty Green Guy~ says:

      Once…I was in Arizona and I was playing with a toy gun. (I was about 7 or 8 years old) The (It was like a foam ring) bullet got stuck in the needles. I went to go get it and my cousin tackled me. I got jabbed in the hand and have a small scar from it.

      Ahh the memories.

      • Avis says:

        Sounds like your cousin knew what was what! I try to avoid thorny or spiny plants, I like to keep my blood on the inside!

      • draco says:

        I have a similur story… I used to live in Arizona, and when i was about 6 years old, my sister and i were playing tag outside (I know, I know… two-person tag sucks.), and my sister had a mirage. it was really hot out, and she said later that she saw a comfy chair with a glass of icewater, so she went over and plunked down on the “chair”. It was actually a very spiny cactus. she had spines stuck in her back from the back of her head to the back of her knees! being a classic brother, I laughed. XD

        • Malfeasant says:

          um… a mirage is a trick of the light, when heat close to the ground causes a reflection (technically it’s refraction, but who am i to split hairs, the end result is the same in this case) of the sky, therefore the illusion of water- anyone can see it if they’re in the right place, it can even be captured by a camera- what you describe is hallucination- not at all the same thing, in fact could be a sign of heat stroke, rather more serious. happened to me once in my younger days, on a 100 mile bicycle ride in the desert, i ran out of water halfway through but kept going anyway- by about 65 miles, i noticed i was no longer sweating… by 75 miles, i felt like mind and body were only halfway attached- it was at that point that i figured i better find some water (and shade) or i was going to be in severe trouble… and then there was a gas station, thank you civilization. the remaining 20 miles was rather uneventful.

  25. Old Gus says:

    Well, he’s obviously being mobbed by your desert-variety tribbles.

  26. Mighty Mush says:

    ♫ ‘Cause every girl’s crazy ’bout a sharp-dressed man! ♫

  27. AG says:

    It’s FAKE.

    • Todd the Todd says:

      Yep, no shadows. Fake. Failblog fail.

      • me says:

        no, you fail… look at the shadow on the ground of his leg… they’re definitely there.

        learn how to read shadows… the sun is hitting that side of his body straight on and all the shadows are on the other side

        also look at how bunched up his sleeve is. I’m pretty convinced its real

      • PsychoDad says:

        Jeebus Chrissmus, don’t you fkkwads have anything better to do than call every photo you see a ‘shop?

        Is the “First!” hobby too difficult for you?

  28. uvulu says:

    his friends call him spikes now

  29. nightshayde says:

    Alien Prickly Bear Caterpillars to Firemen:

    Get this guy off us!!!

  30. Critter Rhode *killer of threads, teller of dead jokes* says:

    Now the Question.
    Did he finish the course before going to the EMTs? Or did he let the other golfers play thru as he was being attended to? :?:

    I can also see his golf partner going, “Hey, I think you got something on you.”

  31. Rich says:

    Just remember, no spikes in the clubhouse.

  32. stix213 says:

    Attack of the giant caterpillars

    /sarcastic off

    that was actually pretty funny, those things hurt like hell if you even get 1 spike in you

  35. Suna ookami says:

    And we Floridians complain about sand spurs in out feet? This takes it to a whole new level.

  36. Koo Koo Chu says:

    He got attack by a whole bunch of little pricks.

    “What a prick”

    DON’T get in the hole!!!!!!!

    Cacturne uses Needle Arm! Its Super Effective!

  39. PLP says:

    Dang..Jumping Chollas really jump.

  40. Smitty says:

    Sure… Laugh. But, when those giant caterpillars turn into giant butterflies and he conquers the sky on a flappity rainbow – who’s gonna be laughing THEN?

  41. One-Eyed Jack says:

    Fireman 1: “I’m not touchin’ him.”
    Fireman 2: “Well *I*’m not touchin’ him.”
    Fireman 3: “Buddy, you’re screwed.”

    He’s such a prick

  47. FLB *Drinks Acerglyn* says:

    How golf differs from the rest of life:
    In golf, you’re doing well if you can finish-up with the hole and sink your balls with as few strokes as possible.

  48. Rave says:

    Well….I think he got the point of golfing now.

  49. landon says:

    photography fail (nice finger in front of the lens)

  53. rb says:

    fail on this fail, picture is totally photoshopped! you can tell the sunlight on the back of the guy doesnt match up in any way, and the cactus are cut out from another picture!

    • Avis says:

      Please look at the shadow of his lower legs. You may change your mind.

      • Ferme La Bouche *Drinks Acerglyn* says:

        It’s really just a big trick. There’s not enough failure in the world, Failblog has to make it up.

        • BusyBee411 says:

          Actually it was on the news the other day. I heard from a friend. apparently the dude was chasing his cat, tripped, and landed in the chollas, it was at some golf course or other.

          • Momghoti says:

            Oh, fer cryin out loud. You can make an argument for almost *any* pic being shopped. This one–it’s just not that spectacular nor unusual; why would anyone bother? Cholla is all over New Mexico and Arizona at least, probably the whole Southwest. The sections break off at the least touch–if there’s a good wind they can scatter. The poor guy has a bit worse than usual but I didn’t even raise my eyebrows. I did wince, though.

          • Ferme La Bouche *Drinks Acerglyn* says:

            Not strong in the ways of sarcasm?

  54. Ninjacactus says:

    Cactus WIN are you kidding me.

  60. grannycatflap says:

    proof of what golfers really get up to
    straight to the bushes with a nice stiff wood

  61. Mr Moo says:

    OMG, he is being nommed by furry alien larva!

  62. joggl says:

    Are the officers to arrest the cacti for hurting the poor guy?

  63. Andrew Ong says:

    What are those sticky green cones? Large nettle cones or something?

  64. biggles1 says:

    the bald tan on the police officers head is the real fail

  85. THOMASNATOR says:

    LOOKS quite shopped… the light looks a little wrong…

  86. Mark says:

    ^^ Belongs to the section: “This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time”

  87. Daniel says:

    You know at first when I saw this I thought it was some dude with Christmas decorations wrapped around him. Then upon closer examination I realize it’s cactus.

  88. busy @ work says:

    During the drought the Phoenix Open had to replace it’s water hazards with a substitute to keep the course challenging….

    I think this experience is going to stick with him for a long time

  96. pureNRG says:

    I’m glad Bruce Willis was there to help.

  97. Stacy M says:

    Ah, the painful wages of being a wiley sooopergenius.

  98. Vex_Z3 says:

    omg, those things look like giant spiky caterpillars that are consuming him XO

  99. Jiko says:

    Those aren’t cacti! They’re OBVIOUSLY large-friendly-caterpillars! We should all be so lucky *sigh*

    • AccountName says:

      You may be right about them being caterpillars, but I wouldn’t be so sure about their friendlyness. They will be through the skin in a minute, and then the true horror will begin…

  100. Ugly says:

    For a sec I thought he was covered in giant fuzzy caterpillars.

  101. Melissa says:

    Please anyone in the Midwest I will pay shipping & handling and your fee to send me a few of these cholla to me here in NC! I want to plant them under a few choice windows at my house :)

  107. FenderFlares says:

    I bet that guy was in some pain the next day! He must’ve been drinking a little too much on the golf course and couldn’t keep himself from stumbling down the hill. A video of the fall would have been so much better.
