And Jessamyn wept...

Everybody fail's at something... We've seen this site before, but this one 'failure' was pretty good... unless you're a librarian.

Nothing really more to say than follow the link... although I'd be interested in reading the whole BB thread if someone can find it.

I also have bad grammar skills... fail's vs. fails. Oops.

"Everybody fail's"

Indeed.

More like EPIC'S FAILES.

A link to the forum topic, maybe.

A link to a FAIL pic from a single post? DID NOT SUCCEED.

How will you ever fill up your bookshelves if you *borrow* books? That's crazy talk.

"I don't know how cool it is to reference the moderators in post titles."

Well, saying "And Burhanistan wept" would have made no sense. Unless you also have a librarian background and we just don't know about it.

Get it now??

I hope this isn't deleted, just so I can giggle at the apostrophe all day.

Ok, I admit it, I can't read!

How did I manage to read this thread and write this post you ask? I poked the keayboard and got really lucky!

I refuse to believe that someone actually wrote that seriously. They may have; this is possible. But if I were to believe it, I would be forced to give up on the world and sit gibbering in a corner.

does an intentional fail still fail?

Since this is a doomed thread, I will follow up on my experiment the other weekend with the pancake-batter-in-aerosol-can experiment. They were thin, but very tasty. And faintly spiral-y, as that's how I laid down the batter in the skillet.

I think this counts as a metafail.

What's with all the cranky puppies?

Try to share a little humor and the - meta-razzi get all 'OMG an apostrophe in the wrong place'! Including comments from some people who have been members for literally DAYS.

Posts don't always have to be perfect, well researched little gems made strictly for the intelligentsia. Sometimes it's ok to want to just point out other things on the web that others might get some fun out of (like no doubt, some of you are getting out of this).

Relax, have some fun, and don't be so serious about everything!

Further to this weak post: Our locally owned video store does, in fact, rent books. Typically "spiritual" best sellers, self-help, and Oprah-type picks.

I don't know how much they make doing this.

This is why we can't have the img tag.

I'm reading Oliver Twist!

I remember now that this local video store first started the book-rental thing when our libraries were closed due to lack of funding.

They have since re-opened.

Fails to load for me. Is this the point?
