watch videos: not a good day for news anchors

The Super Moon must have gotten the best of the news anchors/reporters/meteorologists this weekend! I had a pretty fun morning/day looking through the crazy amount of screw-ups they had!

First, a weather-lady who's terrified of spiders has to face her fear... BIG time.



Then the lady who can't stop laughing during a really serious bunch of stories...


I like it so much better when they don't apologize... but I guess if they wanna keep their job they have to do it. Dumb.

As if I haven't laughed enough [people laughing makes me laugh, duh]... there's this woman who's just trying to get closer to the story... but she should know that people are a-holes.


But, if I'm being honest... my favorite one of the day/week/maybe even year so far... is this lady dropping the f-bomb twice. It's not her doing it that makes me laugh... that mostly makes me wanna punch the photographer/editor in the face for letting that go through to the show... The anchor's face as soon as it cuts back to her- that's priceless.



Oh man. I love them all. Thank you, news people everywhere. These are reasons I didn't get into hard news. I can't just yell "DRINK!" every time I mess up.

pinspiration fail!: fishnet nails aren't easy

Part of the reason I want to do this here month is to try things that I'm not sure I believe will actually work. These fishnet nails that seem like they'd be pretty easy to accomplish were the first trial... and were a total fail.

[Don't mind the messiness around the edges. I took pictures pre-cleanup like a dummy.]

I used a thicker mesh that I had leftover from my earring holder, put it down on my nail when it was only halfway dry, and patted loose glitter on it. The only "fishnet design" going on is the slight indent you can see, almost like I just stamped the fishnet on.

Maybe I shouldn't call it a complete fail, though. Even though there's nothing fancy to the glitter design, I do enjoy the black and glittery accent nail. 

Also, they went perfectly with my outfit. I tried to embrace the whole black and white in the summer trend with some pink accents for our artist spotlight with Capital Cities. [Sorry the picture quality sucks!]

As always, if you've tried this pin and done something to make it actually work, let me know! Post a link, send a picture, etc!

watch etv: grown men give my stilts a try

A couple Fridays ago it was "National Walk on Stilts Day" again. Last year, I made my coworkers try my stilts out, this time I had volunteers while doing at event at the Nissan of Chesapeake!

These guys were down to try them immediately, even though they had dress pants and shoes on, and even trusted just me to spot them. Luckily, I convinced them I'd need more help... and they soon found out why.

Watch the crashes!


I try to tell people all the time- you just have to go for it! No holding back, get your chest up, and sieze the moment. Wait... am I talking about life or the stilts now?

Either way, it's true! If you ever see me out and about, I ALWAYS have them in my trunk, and I love a reason to bring them out, so ask to give them a try! We'll have fun!

watch: reporter drops the p word very inappropriately

Some news reporter mistakes are a little more discreet than others... and some are so blunt, without any hesitation, and jaw dropping, that I just have to share.

Homegirl said one of two words that I hate, in a very interesting sentence:



I don't even think she did that on purpose to be funny... I think someone is just an idiot. Oh dear.

watch: oven planking epic fail

Now that there's owling and toothpicking, among other things, I'm going to go ahead and say planking is on its way out... Especially since Richard Simmons did it.

Plus... It's just dangerous! Hilariously dangerous, though.



Idiot girl. That's a door.

the new amarillo sox mascot is inappropriate

Ohh, this is a pretty big fail.
...Or win, depending on how you look at it.

The Amarillo Sox are a minor league baseball team in Texas, and they decided to reveal their new mascot they've been so excited about:


Oof. That's... Not a sock. It's up to your imagination to decide what you want to say it is, but it is certainly not an appropriate mascot... Unless, of course, it was for the Dirty Sock here in College Station.

I applaud them for going through with it for at least one game. They've decided to get it "fixed" before using him again, though. I wonder what they mean by "fix"......

watch: motorcycles crash, dance, and cause temper tantrums

Obviously motorcycle crashes should never be funny, but this one has me in tears because of laughing. Woops.

What happens when two racers crash, their bikes find each other, and decide to put on a show of their own? Just watch:



What the bikes are doing is not the funny part at all! The funny part: The multiple FAILED attempts at trying to get the bikes, then the temper tantrum that followed.

Hey dude, you fell off. Sit back and enjoy the show as much as you can.

watch: reporter can't make it through fart story

True statement: Even the WORD "fart" is hilarious, and that's taking away the fact that it represents smelly air coming out of your butt.

It's no wonder this news lady couldn't make it through the story about passing gas. I would have geeked out, too.



The guy is just kickin' back like "HAHAHAHA YOU HAVE TO DO THIS, NOT ME!" And then he can't do it either. Awesome.

watch: big wheel derby in san fran

Everything about this event is pretty wrong. It's adults, stealing kids' toys, and doing exactly what their parents always said not to do: Race down a public street, with tons of people doing the same thing, and no helmet on.

Dangerous and exciting? Count EVERYONE in!

Check out the Big Wheel Demolition Derby that happens in San Francisco. [The interesting parts, anyway... AKA the crashes.]



Seriously.. CAN I PLAY?!? I want to wear pads, though... I'm not that big of a badass.

watch: break dancers knockin' people out... including themselves

I've changed my ways of finding "bloggable content" since being on the radio. I gotta make sure I get everything posted the day it leaks or else I'm behind. Sometimes that sucks. A lot.

Tonight I've been surfing around like the good ol' days and found some gold in the break-dancing department of videos.

First up: I know you feel invincible when you're drunk but like, you probably shouldn't think you're the best break-dancer in the whole world. Nor should you be throwing your body around.



Congrats, homeboy. You officially KO'd yourself.

And then there's the boy trying to impress the ladies....



Hmmmm.. Call me crazy, but I don't see that being the way to get the girl. Just sayin'.

Next time you think about break-dancing in front of people.... rethink it. Then rethink it again, cuz I know the first rethink probably told you to just go for it.

watch: the most epic news trainwreck ever

Tweet I was once a news reporter... I know things go wrong. I know sometimes it's hard to make a quick comeback after a mistake and sometimes you have to just laugh.

But this "incident" is one of a kind... And there's absolutely no overcoming it, so you might as well zoom in on the most hilarious thing in the scene.



If that's not the biggest ADD mind eff, I don't know what is.

Thank you, news reporters and producers, for putting your job on the line to give us a good laugh.

world cup broadcasting woopsies

It was only a matter of time that a spelling error or something would happen when broadcasting a Niger soccer game... You'd think broadcasters, producers, everyone would be on their toes and paying attention to what was being shown.

Apparently not.


Yikes. It's funny, though... Ya gotta admit that! As much as I hate that word, it's fun to point and laugh at the dumb people who let it happen.

watch: elizabethany FAIL #2

This weekend while going home on the Metro after a girls night out, I decided to take it upon myself to finally try all of the super sweet tricks that the professional pole dancers do.

As you can imagine, it uh... Didn't go so well.



Fail, elizabethany! Epic. FAIL!

I'm still convinced I can do better if given a stationary pole, though. And maybe some training.......

love,
elizabethany

PS: I enjoy these FAIL columns! :) For more, click here!
PPS: Thanks to my McFadden's BFFs for catching it all on tape and supporting my talents... Or lack there of.

watch: pole dancing and wedding fail

Sometimes a wedding needs a little spice to add some flavor. The bride in the wedding I was in double-dog-dared me to trip down the aisle, so of course, I did... And almost fell on my face. Next thing I know we're all crying from laughing so hard.

That being said... When you're pole dancing is causing a scene and the bride is giving you some serious death stares, you may want to stop what you're doing before a disaster happens.



I can't tell you how glad I am this entire thing was on tape. It was as if we were watching an entire building collapse as people tried to get out. [Hmmm.. Maybe I shouldn't say that?!]

The fact that the bride came out with a bloody nose is like the ending to a great movie. It couldn't have turned out better. [Unless, of course, she got a black eye to match thanks to fighting the girl in the red dress.]

I don't see these ladies being friends any time soon. Mrs. Bride doesn't seem to have the best sense of humor on the block.

elizabethany mom FAIL

I've been waiting so long for something like this to happen, and it finally has.

My mom made a comment on my new Facebook profile picture, and someone else in the family yelled at her.

I hadn't even seen this until I got an email from her saying sorry she said it but that she was shocked my belly was hanging out!

First of all- Thank you Aunt Annette for realizing it may not be the best thing to say to your daughter on her Facebook. Especiall your daughter that has a blog.

Second, MOTHER [She hates when I say that]... I'm not preggers, you don't have to worry. I was simply rockin' the beer gut, which if you didn't know, is totally the in thing nowadays.


Ohh the combination of family, Facebook, and FAIL. F-cubed. It's beautiful.

elizabethany friend FAIL

So I got quite a few messages saying that my elizabethany FAIL post was hilarious and I should post more of them. I 100% agree, so I'm glad you all liked it!

Today I don't bring a picture of me failing, though. I do bring someone who's a familiar face to this here blog, though.


Again.... Thank you alcohol for letting him believe that it would be okay to get into the car like this, try and fasten his seatbelt, and tell me to go ahead and drive.

You are somethin' else, kid.

love,
elizabethany
