July Siggy Challenge Nominations & August Discussion

PepperAT

Omg! Are we at that time already? I feel like we just changed this!

I am going to vote for @whiska Because that gif makes me laugh every time and I wanted to pick it for myself. 

[Deleted User]

I would like to nominate @linzrunz  That series of ridiculous baseball fails is just too epic!

PurpleRains

I'm in for @pretzel2plus1 because those Croc tan lines though 

linzrunz

Anyone have some last minute nominations?  So far we have @NYTino24 @BusinessWife @hezzer78 @whiska @linzrunz and @pretzel2plus1 nominated.  If anyone has any last minute noms, hurry and get them in!  I will create the poll in a little bit for voting.  Any suggestions for August's siggy challenge?

GrabberBlue2010

I think of august as "back to school" month. So maybe back to school fails?

PurpleRains

I second @GrabberBlue2010!

NamelessAria

If we do back to school are there any ladies who are going to have a hard time with that? Like "what if I never have a child to send back to school!?" kind of thing? I'd think probably not since children aren't considered something that need a trigger warning but I figured I'd ask anyhow.

GrabberBlue2010

@NamelessAria - Ya know... although I threw the idea out there, it DID/STILL DOES cross my mind. That IS a really great point actually...

hezzer78

@GrabberBlue2010 I was just gonna suggest that theme Or maybe like teaching fails...:)

NYTino24

I am a teacher who goes back to school in September and I want to avoid thinking about it as much as possible! But I'll follow the group decision. How about funny photobombs?

NamelessAria

@NYTino24 oh I like funny photobombs.

If we decide to go with something that doesn't exactly fit into a month specific theme we could also do something like "Favorite gif" or "favorite meme" or something like that.

I asked my husband to help me come up with something for August and he's like "Oh man... all August is known for is how it's the hottest month of the year. Reddit is full of funny things people are posting related to the heat like them grilling burgers on the street in front of their house and stuff. So many something with the heat or trying to stay cool fails or...?" It wasn't the best idea I've heard but...



ETA: A little Googling on my husband's idea shows that it would be incredibly difficult for everyone to find something. Sorry husband.

linzrunz

We could do a play on words and do hottest celebrity. 

mrsstuessy

I vote we do something involving the olympics. Olympic fails? I freaking love the olympics!

KirstinH88

I like the olympics idea, but I never put a siggy, so ignore me if you'd like 

Maggie1202

I also vote Olympic fails! It doesn't come around that often! 

NamelessAria

Oh hey! @mrsstuessy good call on the Olympics! I totally forgot about that.

mrsstuessy

Hey, whenever possible I try and bring up the Olympics. I am a total Olympic fangirl. 

NYTino24

Yessss! Love the Olympics idea!

GrabberBlue2010

Olympics YASSSSS

PurpleRains

YASSSS!  So are we going to do the Olympics in general (like funny Olympics stuff) or fails?

Maggie1202

If we do Olympic fails, can I call dibs on this one??

PurpleRains

Thinking this is my dibs

linzrunz

Looks like we are going with Olympic Fails!  This is going to be entertaining. 

pretzel2plus1

Love it! I'm between two. 


and



There are just so many good ones! 

TheJerilu

Not gonna lie: Olympic fails make me super sad because I actually love the inspirational nature of the world coming together in good-hearted competition, and the idea of working so hard to make the Olympics and goofing up on what might be your one and only chance bums me out.

That being said, calling dibs on this one:

eggplantface

Oh @pretzel2plus1 please don't pick the wrestling one because that is just so gross I can't see that every day!


I'm going with the nutshot heard 'round the world. He didn't even try to hide it...

mrsdaddario

I deleted my July siggy half way through July because it was slowing things down for me. I'll try August though, and call dips on this not too bad fail.

GrabberBlue2010

I am pretty sure I pick this one...

KirstinH88

@GrabberBlue2010 is that one real?!? Hahaha!

daisy62103

I got mine. I hate to see people get badly hurt...so gabby looks like she's ok haha

swimsister

@Daisy621

I hate seeing people get hurt too! I'm assuming this guy got out of this situation ok.

hezzer78

@thejerilu Oh man - I thought I was weird for feeling that way too Good to know someone else feels the same  

That being said.. this is not from the olympics, but it's an olympic sport.(hope that works?) And this guy gives absolutely zero f*cks lol. I think he was doing his kool-aid man impression..

alysapuggles

I love this one because it would totally be me. I need a do over! lol

MandyBeeSLP

@GrabberBlue2010 Rats! I was going to pick that one! It's awesome. 

Instead I'll go with this one: 

klstone25

Edit: Since @NamelessAria beat me to it.   I'm going to go with this one. The Russian Gymnastics Coach tried so hard to make a heart. lol

RedBreast35

@MandyBeeslp I was a pole vaulter in my younger and more athletic days, and breaking a pole like that is scary AF!!

pretzel2plus1

@eggplantface I was already leaning toward the soccer one, so you just made my decision easier.

swanbrooner

I'll play! This is Michael Phelps's mom thinking he got gold again, but he actually got silver. Her face kills me, and this is totally something I would do.

[Deleted User]

@Maggie1202 I love that one too.  Classic faceplant.
Personally, I prefer this extended version, if you <strike>can find</strike> feel like stealing ;) it...

That little toe kick, is like, "see, I'm so graceful!"

Not only is this a great fail where she's getting bonked in the face, but not actually getting hurt, I just feel like this is a fail on PRINCIPLE, like, why is this an Olympic sport?  Hula hooping?  Really, Olympics???

Or then there's this.

I'm (understandably) torn.

Maggie1202

@BusinessWife AHAHAHAHA!!! Girl! That makes it so much better! (Signature being updated NOW! Thank you for the tip!)

Also, such a hard choice, but that face in the second one has my crying!
