When Social Media Sharing, Tragedies, & The Web FoF

While cleaning out an old folder on my computer, I came across this very old FoF that I shared with a few co-workers on a slow day, but I thought it really deserved a permanent home here.

To set this one up, I have to say that occasionally I traipse over to our local news station to check the weather, especially during the spring and summer months because I like to know if I should have an umbrella handy or if I should prepare for a hot sauna when I step out of any doors and into the environment.  That being said, I happened to find this little gem while on the local news site:



Now, let me be the first to say that I certainly do not condone suicide and I feel this was a great tragedy, but when the news decides it wants to incorporate social media in the site, they may want to curb the way they set up their links and news headings so they do not create FoF side bar widgets like this...

Shifting Gears

Over the past year, I have neglected this blog in favor of honing my artistic eye and working with my photography and digital design. Since that has been the case, this blog is on temporary sabbatical for an undetermined time.

When I Grow Up, I Want To Be An Amazon Roober


That's right!  I am back (after a bit of a hiatus) to share with you the emergence of a new genre in the television viewing arena - Cops And Roobers!

You may facepalm and FoF now! =)

Happy humpday!

'Tis The Season To Be FoF'ing

A classic tale from the lips of the dear Mary Brown:

No, we did not visit cannibals for the day, we simply went to McDonald's for breakfast. My child said "Man that Christmas tree is disturbing". I turned around to find baseball sized Santa heads decorating the tree. My first thought was we had somehow been transported to the Amazon and perhaps those who came before us were decapitated and then eaten. Only their heads remain, shrunken of course, and for this festive holiday decorated to look like Santa.

Alas, we are just at McDonald's....still, Santa...I'd be careful!

<3 Mary Brown
 

My thoughts were this:
 
That's just creepy...Like a crazy Christmas pygmy village chalk full of shrunken Santa heads!

'Tis the season and all....

Keepin' It Clean and Fully Failed

Another one straight from the life and times of Mary Brown.  She really has a way of finding some gems.  Here is one of her latest and greatest FoFs:

Who knew?....

Alpaca soap....turns out it's really made from goat milk, but I digress.

One wonders how to use furry soap thankfully there are directions:

1. Get wet - Duh...isn't that the pre-requisite for any soap
2. Squeeze and message until lather forms - Squeeze? and MESSAGE....I'm not sure I'm bringing my electronics into the shower! Even if I did, who am I messaging to get this soap to work, the Alpaca?
3. Wash Body - Well, now that I've squeezed and "messaged," I do feel a little dirty
4. Rinse and set aside to dry - This probably means both the soap and your electronic device.

A Series Of Unfortunate Full-On Fails

Welcome to another installment of Full-On Fail.  This time we will look at a few tales of FoF woe.  These stories come from Mary Brown and me.  All of these stories are true, though, all nouns (people, places, and things) have changed.

Story #1 was provided by Ms. Mary Brown:

As Mary Brown opened her email to begin her day, she was confronted with a terrifyingly tragic event, indeed.  Her first email was from "The Family Guy", and it was riddled with countless typos and grammatical errors.  This is quite commonplace with him, but the true FoF occured when she reached his follow-up email, which read:

"Sorry I hit send bfore spell check. Howevwer, it is just wghat we were talking about ."

Well, ummm, some of the words were spelled right, correct?  "The Family Guy" (ficticious psuedonym) has been Full-On Failed.

Story #2 was also provided by Ms. Mary Brown.

Later in the day, Mary Brown's email lit up again with another FoF.  This one came from another department, but from someone who has been around long enough to know better.  She will be known, for the purposes of this story as "Busch Gardens".  Busch did not seem to remember the universal email address convention implemented by our establishment.  For those not in the "know", it is a first initial / last name convention, which has been in place since the dawn of time, AND not at all complex.  However, she (Mary Brown) received this message:

"Is 'The Water Boy' still in charge of the 'Water Filtration System'?  If so, can I please have his email address?"

"Busch Gardens" has been Full-On Failed.

Last, but not least...

Story #3 is provided to you by me.

I went for my midday tinkle break, which is quite normal, yet equally scary since a trip to the restroom can be a distressful experience.  It can be full of non-handwashers, cell phone-talkers, seat pee'ers, and the gambit of other disgustingly unhygenic hooligans.  On this occasion, however, I ran into something all together new and terrifying.  As I entered the bathroom, I was greeted by "Persons Unknown", and they stopped me from entering the stall to ask me how the faucet worked.  That's right, ladies and gentleman, I was asked how to use a pull knob faucet in a public restroom.

Mr. Bunny even knows that this was truly a travesty.  A travesty of Full-On Fail proportions.  This is why I refuse to touch much of anything in those restrooms and always use hand sanitizer once I get back to my office.

I hope this has at least entertained you and possibly made your life seem a little less serious!  You may completely laugh at the series of unfortunate FoF's that Mary and I struggle with daily!

FoF'ing Stereotypes

Just because we are in Florida...


...doesn't mean we need to have more "Cracker Jokes" or roadways feeding the stereotypes.  Let me also thank TomTom for pointing it out as well!


Happy FoF'ing Hump Day to all! =)
