Cannonball!
well, he couldn’t really jacknife
He could SWAN DIVE!
He swims in circles.
Not if he’s missinf one on each side!
Oh, fail… I thought it said one arm, one leg.
You were just wrong by one leg…
An armless mistake.
Actually, legless.
Miss steak?
Ham…
He knows how to make a splash.
NINJA BOMB!!!
Hey, he’s got the same swimmingstyle as me!
It`s a mermaid!
he’s a merman! a merman I tell you!
Merman, dad! *cough, cough* Merman!
Oh what will happen in his thirteenth year
Um… I am a little uncomfortable about this one.
*gets a fluffy pillow for Leila*
There! Is that more comfortable?
Personally I like stories like this one. And it says he swims under water, so the splash would be most appropriate. And a photo of a kid with no legs & 1 arm would freak people out more. I admire him!
Thank you.
*leans on fluffy pillow*
I love stories like this too but I am not sure I am ready for trolls’ ridicule.
No question about it, but the photo might have been taken halfway under water?
Yes, I also made a few jokes, but I truly believe Gabe is a HERO! This was a great story. I’ll even forgive the writer (“…he’s definitely keeping afloat with the other children.”)
Indeed, we may have a few laughs, but at the end of the day, this kid truly is spectacular!
The thing I don’t like is how other people are uncomfortable around someone handicapped like that and are trying to discourage him by saying that he just doesn’t realize he is handicapped or by saying that you can only swim if you have two arms and two legs.
I had thought that was the fail in the article, when I read it. ^^;
I think the quote was taken out of context and that what was ment was that the kid simply sees himself as other kids. At least I hope it was
Me too. Yes, it’s a bad picture but that on it’s own doesn’t make it a fail. What FAILblog is inviting us to do is poke fun at a 6-year old because he only has three limbs. I find that quite nauseating.
POKE POKE is that all you do?
You read that wrong, catflap. He has three limbs missing And he could probably still kick yer ass!
(BTW – yer granny is up there ↑ )
You shouldn’t be… that kid walks on his backside all day, does he seem uncomfortable to you?
Nah, seriously http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo_24_qTNac take a look at that one, and see if you feel a bit more comfy =)
I don’t know if comfy is the word.
I wonder if his nickname on the swim time is the one arm bandit.
you should be ashamed
Does it help if I say, it’s because he swims like he stole something?
Buoy! Come here, buoy!
Jules! I laughed at that! Guess I’m coming with you to Hell
kid WIN
Absofreakinlutely!
*nods in agreement too also as well*
*in addition, nods*
*joins in nodding in agreement*
Agreed.
My husband has a client (tattoo) who produced the greatest excuse for not turning up for his appointment.
He is a soldier, he had a bit of an accident with an IED in Afghanistan, and ended up with one remaining arm…did he stop that letting him get the tattoo….hell no, he just waited till the hospital let him out! (He is still serving too)
I have the greatest respect for guys and girls who don’t let anything stop them doing what they want to do.
I’ll drink to that!!!
CHEERS!
Tattoo is your husband’s client?!?! I always wondered how he was doing after Fantasy Island got cancelled!
TV show from back in the seventies. One of the characters was named Tattoo. Lame attempt at humor by me.
But have a free squeeze!
*squeeze!*
Yay free squeeze
*squowzesfreesqueeze*
Yes, I do think this is more of a win than a fail.
This doesn’t belong on FB except as a win!
*nods head in agreement*
I’m beginning to feel like this site is being run by trolls and the PTBs are tied up with ropes in a closet somewhere.
It’s about swimming and there is a picture of a pool with water splashing, creating a sense of action. Perhaps the kid didn’t want to be featured.
It would be fail if the picture were completely unrelated to the story.
My sense about the trolls taking over goes beyond this one fail. I don’t know if you’d agree, but the quality of this site has plummeted.
I opened failblog, then walked away. I came back and was reading this story, and actually thought I was on a news site or something, until I got to the Red Fail words. Its not a fail, it warmed my heart.
Nothing to make fun of.
The fail is the picture they used, not the photo.
Wow that was odd…
I swear I fixed it but now I have two comments.
*Twilight Zone music plays*
The fail was the photo, not the article.
did he live?
Did he dive?
Okay, you will. You’re the one that is going to Hell.
*squeezes Jules goodbye!*
Now WHY do my stupid fingers type whatever they want? They were supposed to type “win”, not “will”.
*thwacks fingers with ruler .dkv ajvlakjdbaj asdkjsds.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Why you hittin’ yourself?
Why you hittin’ yourself?
Why you hittin’ yourself?
Why you hittin’ yourself?
Why you hittin’ yourself?
Because my fingers are possessed by the Demons of Confusion and Typographical Illusions.
Typing in tongues?
That sounds tricky. And rather disgusting.
*removes thumb from mouth*
Huh?
Did you just bite your thumb at me?!
How did he make such a splash in the middle of the pool? He didn’t jump in.
It was international ‘drown a deform day’. The kid was dropkicked in.
VVV
Maybe he needs a hand getting out of the pool…… and an arm and two feet and two legs.
I love the smell of cremated troll in the morning.
I apologise for my behaviour, I feel bad and very sorry for stumpy.
What does Twilight have to do with a deformed kid?
*gasp*
IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED! THE NAME OF ALL DARKNESS AND DOOM! EVACUATE THE AREA! WE MUST SANITIZE ALL!!!
But, seriously, the sparkly bit has nothing to do with the terrible series that shall not be mentioned by name. What’s important is that the bat is used primarily by Gracie to mash some troll brains.
They have a replica but it doesn’t work so well.
Cerebral ganglion….
This kid started drinking at a very young age. He is completely legless all the time !
*thunderous applause erupts from the gallery*
Wheeeee!!!!!! Look at it sink!
*holds score card*
9.9999
I woulda given you a 10 but there is still a little twitch on the troll.
That’s not a twitch, I think it just farted.
…plus it appears I psychically predicted its’ movements……
Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggghhh…..
How do you get the one armed kid out of a tree?
Wave at him!
Ew, is that what plugged up your drain??? AND YOU THREW A HANDFUL OF IT AT YOUR HUSBAND?!?!?
…. *feels very bad*
I love the optimism his foster parents showed for him lol.
“Give us a wave, son!”
“Uh, oh”
“I can still swim like the rest of you”. The Black Knight in “Monthy Python and the Holy Grail” said that too.
One of the random 100+ thoughts that went through my head when I saw this was a movie based on this kid starring Zack Effron.
Zack Effron … he is too pretty to look at.
Pleh. No thanks.
Did he die?
Yep, they caught him with performance enhancing drugs in his system.
no but he bite people asss
i don’t belive it
do he use his D*ck?
as propeller!
How’s that so bad. How does he get in the water? You would pretty much have to drop the little mongloid in the pool.
round
Later in life, he’ll have to explain how he got his nickname: Skipper
How did he jump in with no legs? Or is that just what a one armed no legged person looks like when they swim?
