I just got a letter that I have recently failed the unit ECF1100 and may be in breach of my enrolment terms at my fine educational institution.

A subject I never enrolled in.

I'm an Arts student. I don't do useful things like economics subjects.



So, what have you managed to fail at?
The Lone David
I failed chemistry, mostly because I can't write a lab report to save my life, also I'm really lazy and try to disassociate myself with all things scientific.
Verbose
But you were enrolled in and attended chemistry, yes?


Also, this needn't be academic failure. I feel I know you guys enough to say that you all have many, many, many personal failures outside of education.
The Lone David
I was enrolled, just not of my own free will.

And for non-academic failures... I failed to get a date with Emma Watson...
Verbose
I've seen her talk.

That's not such a failure. It's more of a lateral move.
The Lone David
Try watching her with the sound off. She's hot.
Verbose
Until I see her pleasuring a horse, I doubt she'll do it for me.

Asexual, after all. Only fetishes fetch my interest.
The Lone David
... wow, that's just disturbing...
Verbose
If it's not wrong, it's not right for me.

I suppose I'd reconsider if it turned out she used to be a dude.
The Lone David
That's just slightly more disturbing...
Verbose
If she used to be a dude and got it on with a horse that used to be a chick, I'd say I'm pretty much sold.
The Lone David
What? I expected more from you Verby...
Verbose
Oh, bizarre fetisheswise? Well, I could mention the more outlandish but most of their effect is in seeing the execution of the fetish.

Scat, bdsm, power playing, transvestitism/transexualism, zoosexualism, midget sex and the untold plethora of others don't really disgust in the telling.

It's in the seeing.
The Lone David
I can imagine, though I'm suprised you didn't mention amputee, it seems like your sort of thing.
Verbose
I hardly listed all of the ones I'm partial to, let alone the ones I know about.

An amputee with a fatty would be a watch and a half.
The Lone David
Disturbing...

Well to get this on track, I would call up you reg office and tell them that you never did all that and since you are no idiot and have done that go there kicking ass and taking name but add in middle names for some irony.
The Lone David
I have to disagree with the "no idiot" part...
Rae-Rae =^.^=
Considering how awkward this is, I figure now is the best time to tell a tale of my only academic failure.

At my old school, swimming lessons are required, and a large chunk of the grade. I don't go swimming on my period because I'm not comfortable using tampons, and my teacher considered that the same as an incomplete assignment equivalent to a large project.
iloverichard
same here, but man.. that sucks dry.gif
The Lone David
...because talking about your period is just so much less awkward than Verby's academic troubles...
iloverichard
lol
Rae-Rae =^.^=
Well, it's better than derailing from a fairly comfortable subject. While we're talking about the awkward stuff, why not include it?

I failed at blowing up a blockade in the requested time because i had to stop an idiot who wanted to use 100times more explosivs than needed because hes stupid (no insult..he just is. its not his fault and i like him : ) maths is just not his stuff)..he tried to use 50 kg of TNT and Hexogen instead of just 0.5 kg TNT..(which was dangerous enough by teh fact that he was using hexogen without gloves ..).

Well..i passed anyways because i was the only one who could do it right (ya..i guess 7*7 /100 mustve been REALLY hard on the others without any calculator..............................................)
..well our army consists of idiots. you wanne win a war ? come to austria tongue.gif
BigDeadMushy
sounds very blowy uppy,but since I am unfamiliar with explosives,I am interested in knowing why handling hexogen without gloves is so dangerous ph34r.gif
free
Hexogen is like C4, soft and you can kneat it.
The bad news is: If you handle it without gloves, the chemic-substance which makes the explosive "soft" will be absorbed by your skin and can make you very sick (damaging nerves etc). I think parkinson is very similar to the effect.
Ofc 1 or 2 times wont be bad, but if you forget the gloves the first time you use it, you will forget it easily next time, and next time and so on.

What i always wanted to try was to kneat something that looks like a lil donkey / snowman or something like that and hide a remote-detonator inside. So ild just have to place it infront of the enemies door, knock and run.
Theyll go like "HAHA hey sarge see what i found !".
and..well..POPP goes the weasel hehe

edited, still sucky due to sucky vocabulary. hope you understand what i mean xD

ooh...plasticky
I'll probly be sleeping by the time you get to edit,but thx for the info...gotta get me some o' that tongue.gif

This year I failed social studies, but I got the best grade in school for English.

But that's just this year. 5 years ago, I started my first year of high school. I only spent one year in that school, but I am to this day widely known there. Many records that I set that year are still standing. Like getting kicked out of class in the shortest period of time (minus 3 minutes, class had technically not even started yet) and the worst grades. Ever. That year was the most fun I've had in my life. Too bad I hadn't discovered weed yet.

I did a survey once and they told me if it had been a test i would have failed... i cried for weeks.
Also ive failed math... twice... my math teachers are idiots and im just generaly bad a math.

Oh, I got it all sorted a while back. About an hour after getting the letter, really. I don't mind failing but I prefer to fail subjects I had and didn't attend rather than ones I didn't.

This isn't awkward. It's Verbysmooth.

I, too, consider it a failing offence.

Who said that the two were entirely unrelated?

Aside from it being Knead (Kneading and Kneaded), it made more sense than particular english-speaking poster's efforts.

I was asked to stop attending year 12 English by the teacher. About five minutes in, she asked me to stop coming and promised she'd mark me as present no matter where I was so long as I wasn't in the class.

She liked me lots.

Hey, now, you can be the best math you can be if you apply yourself!

Group incest do much for ya? You've got the whole internet at your fingure tips, I bet you have wild parties. Clerk 2 much?

Anyway, back to the topic, I tried to stop masturbating and failed that. I've failed multiple times to go to sleep at a normal time. I failed to stay a faithful christian in a hippie city, but who didn't see that coming? Now I'm depressed.

I failed failing.

That's not true, you failed to be suitably arrogant as to win my respect. It's why you're a lackey.

You wanted to stop masturbating AND remain a faithful Christian? Who are you and what are you doing on my intarweb?

I failed basic algebra two years in a row in high school. I just didn't care for numbers at all. I still don't.
Verbose
It's why we have accountants.

Well, that and as an aide for absitinence. "You might spawn... this!"

I was failing social studies for about a week or two halfway through the seventh grade. I managed to finish the class with a B final grade. that is about the only time I have failed academically. Man he was a harsh grader.

my non academic failures are: just generally failing at life. woo!

See, the thing is I failed. Funny, I know.
Verbose
Wanting to try is almost as bad as succeeding.
Rae-Rae =^.^=
Succeeding at trying is worse than failing at completing.
Verbose
Succeeding at failing is worse than failing at trying.
Grym
failing at succeeding is a double failure. but in that sense, it is the only failure. which makes it a single failure.
Verbose
Could it be a single failure simply because you only fail once in that whole situation?
Grym
not if you fail twice in the same situation
Verbose
Then that would be three failures, because trying a second time is failing to accept your failure.
Space_Mummy
This argument is ridiculous and should stop meow. Why should it be bad for some people to accept some religion as their own and try to uphold that religion's rules or laws within their own house? I failed to keep my faith because I found parts of the religion to be faulty and so I stopped believing in it.

But that's my pov so tongue.gif

On the subject of Emma Watsons ... I knew an Emma Watson in middle school... she was a satanist bi-sexual who often times hit on me : | You could try getting a date with her, I'm sure, and succeed. >.<

I've played the trumpet for over seven years, great instrument!

Anyway, I've failed seventh grade, but that's just because I didn't go... at all... o_O The only time I went was to arrive, walk through the halls to the next exit and leave. Yep. >.<
Guh?
I failed at achieving my goal time for a 2k.

Because. It's so... wholesome.

It makes my skin crawl.
