Everybody is FUBAR when you use "Crane Style"

OH NOES! SOMEONE ALERT TEH GOVERNOR! REMEMBER 3/15 4EVAH!!!...


...eh, i got nuthin.

Run forest sandhill, run!!!

I want video of it actually coming down. Plumes of smoke and debris have become commonplace.

I'm a 3/15 Truther, and I'm not getting a kick out of this thread.

//Ides of March, baby, all I'm sayin'.

Its amazing that baby survived.

Scientology would like to have a word with you.

Why no tag?

Wow, this seems somehow familiar...

Oh wait. We already had a crane collapse discussion 12 threads ago.

Considering ------------------- I'm sure they would.

I say we carpet bomb, and *liberate* those responsible.

I'm thinking New Jersey.

No, you really don't want to waste the bombs there.

Mr Tumnus: Why no tag?

Fo' rizz.

"I looked up fubar in the German dictionary and there's no fubar in here."

Fubar, sir?

/is that German?
//I'm not finding it, etc../

BLAST!

Google Maps street-level view of fubar Fu Bar...

fu bar (pops)


FUBAR, for anyone who doesn't know, is a military slang term meaning "f**ked up beyond all recognition". It's pretty old and has been re-used/misused so many times that it has taken on new meanings.

Farked

Beyond

FUBAR

Huh?

Juan Perez, a cleaner at restaurant/bar Fubar on the ground floor of the crushed building, was removed from the rubble hours after the accident and taken to Bellevue Hospital where he is stable.

where was Spiderman when we needed him?

What was that baby doing on a crane anyway?

This was suggested at tonight's NYC party.

Seeing how the headline was recyled from the previous thread I will recycle someone else's response to the Spiderman conundrum:

He rescued the hottest chick and then left.



/or something like that

Subby: 'Fu Bar' FUBAR

That god chap sure does have one sick sense of humor.

A devastated Jeanie Squeri told CBS 2 HD she lived in a destroyed building her whole life.

Anybody else have to re-read that a few times? I was like, "why would she live in a destroyed building her whole life? I'm sure she could've moved. How did CBS 2 know to find this destroyed-building-living woman to get her insight on a train collapse?"

I am, in fact, that dense.

Also, I meant crane, not train.

evil saltine:
City Building Department records showed that on March 4, a caller told officials that the upper portions of the crane appeared to lack the proper number of safety ties attaching it to the building.

*facepalm*

The caller should've known that the appropriate city agency to which to report the problem is the tv news media*. If channels 2, 4, 5, or 7 didn't bite, then obviously there is no problem. After all, the media knows best.

*Print media does not count. NYT does not read actual letters... Post and Daily News would rather hear about the aftermath than prevent a tragedy.

Winner.

Carpet bombing NJ is like putting a bidet in an outhouse... sure it's an improvement, but in the end, it's still just a shiathole.

Someone in the proofreading dept let that one slip through.

If you are referring to the percentage of the state that is closest to NYC, which is roughly 16%, then yeah, I'd have to agree.

But damn near the rest of the entire state is actually really awesome.

If you don't know this to be true, it's because you are basing your opinion about NJ purely on what you've seen from Newark Airport. Or more likely, you are basing your opinion on everything said by OTHER people who have said such similar things, having only seen the immediate area around Newark Airport.

In any event. You are wrong. And I pity you.

//Haven't seen any Jersey defense in a while.
//Figured it was time
//All other stereotypes about other states are completely true.
//They must be. It's on the internet.
//You see what I did there?

You have it backwards, my dear. It is the southern NJ hicks and the Central Jersey meatheads that give NJ a bad name.

Don't think I've ever flown into Newark... my personal visceral reaction to Jersey stems from that time that a female friend and I went canoeing up a river the color and consistency of coffee. And the part where every time one ventures on the roads, it feels like the locals are playing chicken with you...

gigamortis: Huh?

don't you mean "EH?"

Isn't New Jersey the state that has a highway where 6 lines merge into 3 over the course of 30 feet?

Lot of smart people in that New Jersey.

Mr Tumnus: Why no [Ironic] tag?

Because it's not ironic. Traditionally Irony is the use of words contrary to their literal intention, a smart man's sarcasm, if you will.

Then in the more popular use of the word it means something contrary to what would be expected.

This fulfills neither of these, it is coincidence.

Correct. Irony would be if the Asbestos Bar burned down, or the DDT Bar had a bug infestation.

Dear god. You managed a Rayearth AND Champloo reference in one shot. Accurately.

Bravo.
