t’s a story as old as time: Woman gets mad at bad parking job, woman stuffs banana in car’s tailpipe, woman writes angry note then gets arrested for damaging said car. It’s all pretty poetic, really.
Chris Barnes, 32, was just getting ready to dive into his chicken nuggets when he looked up from his glorious meal to see naked women onscreen very clearly..gyrating. Apparently someone pulled off the screen heist by using an app via their smartphone.
A McDonald’s spokeswoman said: “This is not content we would deem appropriate and regret it was visible for a short space of time. Having reviewed CCTV we strongly believe that this station was chosen by individuals outside the restaurant, made possible by certain smart phone apps which act as TV controls. Televisions are in place to enhance the customer experience in our restaurants, allowing them to access news, weather and travel information. It is unfortunate that some members of the public choose to ruin this for the majority.”

Best ever, Thanks!
Second picture down demonstrates the effects of lawn sprinkler systems on tree root growth. The water rarely goes deeper than six inches or so and the tree roots don’t either.
I did a concrete job one time for a family who wanted to re-landscape their entire back yard and part of our job was to remove all of the sod. We rented a sod cutter intending to sell the sod but due to the tree roots the sod cutter wouldn’t work. The yard was about an acre or so in size. They had one lone Ponderosa Pine tree that had sent out a mat of roots about 6-8 inches thick over that entire area. We had to measure out the lawn in sections and cut those sections using axes. Each section was about as wide as a Bobcat bucket and about 12 feet long. I’d use the Bobcat to lift and stack three sections then pick up three sections at a time and drive them out to the street. I would stack about 9-10 sections in the dump truck at a time and the boss would haul them away. I had sections stacked all the way down one side of a city block. When we finished that I just lifted the stump right up and moved it out to the street. Not a single root had penetrated the sub-soil at all.
I hated that particular job.
Snowflakes gets melted at the Fyre Festival. LMAO. http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2017/04/28/report-festival-goers-expecting-tropical-paradise-packed-with-instagram-models-face-assaults-wild-dogs-instead/
Greetings,
The Fyre Festival may be the biggest Friday Fail of all TIME! I’ve been reading the reports with glee as it couldn’t happen to a better crowd of people. I despise these people and my only wish is that it was 50X worse.
Great Friday Fail Admin, thanks. I look forward to this segment every week.
The dogs winning the kiddie car race take the prize IMO. 🙂
Can one get a Hindenburger to go? Or does one have to dine in?
‘Hydrogen flame broiled’
In or out … It’s to die for !
That humongous forked sausage is creeping me out … and that’s just the front side !
I’m gonna have nightmares with that one ….
I REALLY need to find one of those dog-headed gas cap covers ! That’s a hoot !
The Hindenburger was definitely no fail. That is creative though in poor taste.
As for the Movie Theater Popcorn and Abe Lincoln, it just brings a big smile to my face. Sad that all of the tragic deaths that befell others in his family did not take his life before he was able to inflict such tragedy on this country, but what are you going to do?
Actually, it’s sad he was shot too soon. He freed the slaves but had NO intention of them staying in THIS country. He shipped three boatloads back to Africa, where they landed they named Liberia in honor of their newfound liberty. Too bad he never got the chance to finish the job, America would have been far better off for it.
Sounds like Old Abe was a Neocon, maybe he would have built a wall on the southern border. Maybe Yo’bo will rehabilitate the memory of Wilkes Booth.
When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d
Walt Whitman
1
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom’d,
And the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night,
I mourn’d, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.
2
O powerful western fallen star!
O shades of night — O moody, tearful night!
O great star disappear’d — O the black murk that hides the star!
O cruel hands that hold me powerless — O helpless soul of me!
O harsh surrounding cloud that will not free my soul.
