Sometimes They Caption Themselves

We never wondered how stray fighters and other innocents got returned to their custodians when they got lost without having things like Post-it notes to stick to the little guys ...

… but I think we have a good idea now.

I would probably pee my pants if I encountered this guy on the field

Of course, to be fair, I would probably pee my pants if I encountered anyone on the field, and that's why I'm not a fighter.

Historical Accuracy Fail, on failblog!

The fact that failblog posted this pretty much justifies the entirety of this blog. FTW!

Thanks again to Beothuk, who nails it ... and nearly us, but the looks of things.

This is always my fear at demos

Medieval Day Fail by Flickr user kwijibot, captioned by Factorial.

I seem to end up talking on my cell phone every time I do a public demo ("Are you here? I'm at ____") and it's precisely my fear of someone snapping a photo of me just like this one that motivates me to hide when I do it. So I have the utmost sympathy for this guy! Still, you have to admit it's hilarious.

Beautiful on the inside AND the outside!

In a similar vein to the last one.

The looking is free!

Maybe this can karmically balance out the snark of Part I of this series.
