Go to Google and type in the search bar "failure" (without the quotes), then hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button. Be ready for a fun surprise. THis is probably time sensitive, so be quick!

No, let's hope it works that way until the end of recorded history.

Old old old OLD...
I wonder why the resent resurgence of this? I've seen it around the net this past week a lot.

I also saw it 3 years ago, so it's not very 'time sensitive'. Although the Michael Moore link as the second entry is new (since the last time I saw it [3 years ago]).

I particularly like the URL for the link. You'd think it would be just a link to Google, but instead it's a redirect through a Yahoo! server, with all kinds of other garbage thrown in.

Go to JetBlue and book a flight from L.A. to New York, then hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button. Be ready for a fun surprise. THis is probably time sensitive, so be quick!

Uh-oh.

What's with the weird link to google with the yahoo address and all the other stuff in it?

...and yes, I know how asinine this is. It should include a Michael Moore tag too I guess. And a Jimmy Carter one.

oh, damn. you mean i'm the only person on earth who hasn't seen this before. *blush*

Hey guys, I found this cool new video! It's called All Your Base, I wonder what it means...

Correction: uh-oh.

Sorry. I missed it three years ago. I'm just seeing it now, and did a quick check thru the archives and saw nothing about it there, so...

anyway, delete away, matt.

*does an embarassed shrug and slinks away*

I don't post FPP's often, and when I do, I'm always worried that they may not be worthy.

I no longer have to worry. This is bad... and redundant.

Yeah, this what happens you open the floodgates to new members like Matt did in November '04. These damn new people are so....oh wait.........never mind.

Moving along.

Who wants to place odds on how long before this is deleted?

Who wants to place odds on how long before someone ELSE posts it back up?

What can I say, I'm a gamblin' man.

So, what else can this Google do?
posted by fenriq at 5:57 PM on September 21, 2005


oh god.

dear ashbury, I'm so sorry. I think you're probably a fine human being, and under most circumstances wouldn't deserve the flaming pile-on that's about to happen.

this time you most decidedly do, however.

why? here's why.

now, normally double posts are bad, but not horrible, but then when you realize that MY MOM knew about this before even the original two year old mefi post happened... well, it's a little absurd. although, some things that work in your defense:

Mefi search for "google failure" (no quotes in search)

mefi search for "miserable failure" (with quotes in search)

So, it's a little understandable. But then a mefi search for failure, while dense, can reveal plenty.

but hey, the scorching of today's lash will make you wiser for future posts.

Hint: confess early with plenty of humility and penitance. They'll go easy on you.
