What if you Fail to Fail?

Just a question for you all to ponder...

Do you Succeed? do you Epicly fail? or do you do nothing? Eh?

Interesting question.... I really don't know what to say about it myself...


If tomorrow may never come, and yesterday is just a memory, then what is today worth?

Re: What if you Fail to Fail?

I fail so epically I disgrace the word by using it in the same sentence as the words "I fail".

Re: What if you Fail to Fail?

if you fail at failing, that means you're really bad at failing, right?

so if you're bad, at being bad, that must mean you're NOT bad, at being good.

which means you win. not fail.

Re: What if you Fail to Fail?

Well, in computing, if a variable goes so low, it may wrap around and become a very large number. So failure may eventually lead to great success. Not my case, though. If you fail to fail, then you fail at the easiest thing to do, so you fail.

Re: What if you Fail to Fail?

It would still be a fail. If you fail to try and screw something up then you have failed the thing that you were trying to acheive.

Re: What if you Fail to Fail?

This is just like the thing i came up with today.

If every thing you is a choice, like even decideing to think or not to think or move your right are or not which is all a choice, how do how not make a choice? Wouldnt thatmake a choice for not choosing a choice? X3

Re: What if you Fail to Fail?

True, but how do you get around that? Is it possible, might, might not. Thats just like the worm hole thoery. Could be possible its not a black hole, chances are that it is.

You obviously fail if someone punches in you in the head.

Re: What if you Fail to Fail?

"In a literal sense, 'failing to fail' means to win, or succeed.
- One minus negative one is two.
- The opposite of the opposite is, in a way, the original. "

This is logic not maths so that doesn't apply here.

"You obviously fail if someone punches in you in the head."

1) How is this relevant
2) Are you by any chance drunk?

Re: What if you Fail to Fail?

If you fail in failing, you:

- Are that dumb that you fail in even failing so you epicly fail.
- Fail to fail, so fail to do something very wrong, so you don't fail, you succeed. WTF...

Re: What if you Fail to Fail?

my mom watches old movies all the time, and sometimes I watch them with her, and we recently found a really good example of "Failing to Fail."

In the movie "The Mouse That Roared," a small country in Europe (Which takes up about 5 miles) is in financial trouble. seeing the way americans always sent all this relief to the countries they defeat, they decide to declare war on america, with the intent of losing, and then profiting from the relief America sends. However, their strike force (whose men are using the country's weapon, the longbow) somehow manages to steal a new nuclear bomb with the power to obliterate all of North America! Thus, they end up winning, and they had gone in with the intent of losing! you can imagine the hilarity that ensues.

perfect example of "Failing to Fail."
