Great Faceplam Moments

[Insanum]

That's the fault of the skaters, not the organizers. They give them lots of choices, it's the skaters that decide to do the same thing.

Also, watching skaters crash and burn can be just as heart racing when you realize, especially in the team events, that they can VERY EASILY die or be crippled for life from one mistake.

But the skaters are[/I] the sport. If all of the F1 Drivers decided they were going to follow each other round the track at 30mph, With slightly different racing lines, Interest would die straight away.

I see the rise of events like Ski/Snowboard Cross as a sign that people want to see competitions of people being the best at something worthwhile. Keep the artistic dancing for the theatres & gallerys, And the olympics for heart stopping moments.

Sure, Skaters may die from tripping and falling, But if a Skater slips on the ice im CERTAIN it wouldnt be as spectaular as the speed skaters falling, or the Skiers falling over.

I have to re-teach my dad how to check his e-mail every month and "oh, while you're here son, can you fix the DVD player, the surround sound isn't working, oh and upstairs the video won't record, only play, oh an ....".

How do they break stuff and forget these things so fast?! "I just wanted to clean that wire, it was looking a bit dusty." is the answer I normally get.

*facepalm*

This reminds me of my mother, I will be in the middle of something and I always have to help her figure out how to "work shit".

I don't even know half the stuff I have to do, but apparently "I'm an expert."

*facepalm*

When my mom was yelling "HELLO!!!" at the phone in the stand a few hours ago, she has asphasia and it's pretty severe so there's a lot of facepalm moments. She didn't realize you have to take it off and hit talk, but that's not her fault... I take care of her so I can't really facepalm....though I do anyway.

Maybe it's you spelling "Faceplam" in the name of the topic, eh?

Dare I say, someone spelling 'facepalm' incorrectly in the title of a topic about great facepalm moments?

...sorry.

Goddamned ninja.

My sister had some sort of economics class and everyone had a country to do and one of the groups had Poland. They had a bit in class where they had to report what they knew already. One of the people from the Poland group said, "Don't quote me on this, but wasn't Poland in a war with Germany at some point?".

Publisher: We love everything about this book you've written for us. We've decided to change the title, though. And the setting. And the main character. And the basic idea. If you could just entirely rewrite the book from beginning to end for next Thursday, that'd be great.

(And not in the sensible 'we were just being nice about loving it, it actually needs a lot of work' way. In the 'we have already approved the final draft but marketing decided it had to be about ponies' kind of way.)

My cousin with a serious face said "If Obama becomes president will he make all the white people slaves".
