I have an idea. Maybe we should hold a contest, who fails biggest. I mean lets make it art.. art of failing. Lets take it to another level! Discover the new hights of loserism, and say NO MORE will I succeed or fail just a little. Oh no.. we will start failing like there is no tomorrow. And when we are gone, they will make songs about us and teach them to children and future generations of future.
Who's with me?!

Nah, that's what we have country music for - those guys sing about losing their jobs, getting divorced, putting down their dog Rufus, crashing the pick-'em-up truck, and getting shot down by that pretty waitress named Lurleen - all in the same song.
Anyway, if you're posting to Apolyton, you're already a card-carrying member to loserdom, right?

One humilitating failure was the guy who tried to run up the wall in "The Full Monthy" and dropped flat to the ground.
Otherwise I don't know who is the loser of the losers. Perhaps Hitler or something, but that kind of failure is not so fun to discuss in a thread like this.

Chemical Ollie, yeah I don't mean Hitler types of losers.
I mean like fun failing. You know, missing your appointment, that is very important, because you forgot about it, got drunk and possibly even naked and arrested, and then tried to lie something pathetic why you didn't show up only to be caught from it.
Fun failing.

There was a Swedish TV comedy about a loser. He had lost his job, his dog had died and his wife run off with some nerdy clerk. He thought the only option was to kill himself, so he sat down by the railroad track to jump in front of a train. He waited and waited, but no train came, because they had permanently shut down the operation of that rail.
The guy had a motto: It's never to late to give up!

THat's a good motto. I heard a radio show years ago and there was a loser too and his motto was 'if I don't finish last, I'll give up'.

When I was 19 or something, some buddies and I was preparing a "surprice box" for a guys birthday. It was full of technology and the idea was that he should press a button and step back, then the box should open by itself, sound a loud car honker, flash a police light, blow off a smoke bomb and finally spray water in they victim's direction. My job was to rig the smoke bomb. I checked the triggers switches several times to make sure they were off before I attached the cords. As an extra security measure, I put a plate to protect my face from the bomb if it would go off anyway. When I attached the cords, the bomb blew, and my friends garage was filled with smoke. The trigger switches had been on all the time, despite my checks.

Try to find out why you failed. Find out your weakspots and strengthen them.
Violence is not going to prevent a repitition.
Absinthe and Amsterdam are OK in small doses, but it's too easy to get sucked into the latter. I only went for the Millennium and stayed there 6 months!

Give it your best, and if you still fail, learn what you can from it and move on. Your control over the situation already ended.
And for those of you that have never failed.......
just means that you've never really challanged yourself enough.  (except for MTG, he's probably that good. )

MtG:
How do you keep it up? Surely the pressure must be building.
As for failure:
I try to see what I can do to fix the problem. If I can't I just have to deal with it and move on. Depending on how badly I've messed up will usually correspond to how long I hibernate before moving on.

How do I deal with failure?
I've learned to live with it and nuture that resentment that failure brings.
That way I can always cast the blame at someone else.
 ACK!

a 7-11-6 syllable haiku? Maybe a haikai, but a haiku is in a strick 5-7-5 syllable format. Therefore, to put your haikai into haiku format:
Failure option, not
Ted Striker decimates all
Losing is homo
The first line doesn't work so well, but couldn't think of better way to shorten it. Jamski is the haiku master though.

I know it sounds like something from the simpsons. I guess you can say I gave up. But I really have everything I need in life now. So it's no big deal.

I said SO is gay- because it is.
But something being gay isn't necessarily a bad thing. gay is just... well gay.
