Illustrated FML (46) - About FMyLife (9) - Competitions (5) - Books (5) - Special guests (3)

FML’s Xmas COMPETITION

Find the 10 FMLs that were published in the fmylife book by hunting for them amongst the website’s pages, and win one of the fmylife books up for grabs.

Before explaining the rules, your mouse can already start hating us because it’s going to have to go into overdrive. Quotes from the book’s FMLs are hidden in the pages of Fmylife, and you’re going to have to find them.

How to enter the competition

Step 1: Sign up on FML and log in. This is mandatory if you want to take part in the competition. Click here to create an account. Everyone can enter the competition. No matter where you live or how old you are.
Step 2: Find the link called "FML Competition" in your member's panel on the right hand side of the site.
Step 3: Click on it (yeah OK, seems obvious, but you never know with some people).
Step 4: Follow the instructions to start the hunt. None of the members will have the quotes in the same place. To find them, use the page numbers at the bottom of the home page and… click away (and you can then start hating us). The quotes will only be in the website’s archives, nowhere else. There’s thus no point going into the Top, the Flop, the Random FMLs… All you have to do is go and look in the previous pages. Once you’ve found one of the texts, a link will allow you to update your participation.

This is how a hidden quote will look like (the size has been reduced a little voluntarily):

On the 20th of december at midnight, the competition will end. All the people who’ve found the 10 quotes will then be part of a draw, which will select the 20 winners, who will get a copy of the book. The results will be announced on the 21st. Good luck, and happy clicking to all!

keep up the good work FML Staff!

#100 - On 12/10/2009 at 7:21pm by cheergurlxx2

fake fourth?

#164 - On 12/13/2009 at 12:57am by YDI_King

done lol. only took 4 hrs split between 2 days because the site messed up. how many have completed it?

#240 - On 12/17/2009 at 8:59pm by marks06

that was crazy but i finally got them all =)

#252 - On 12/19/2009 at 9:01am by girl56789

Just finished finding all 10. Man was that a lot of clicking - my eyes hurt.

This better be worth it!

#2 - On 12/09/2009 at 9:18am by Lasak

you could have just googled 10 in the book and they take you right to the page

#102 - On 12/10/2009 at 7:39pm by AliasFan4Lyfe

but that's cheating and where's the fun in that? :D

#143 - On 12/12/2009 at 5:41am by brkn_hearted

hahahahah your right

#212 - On 12/15/2009 at 10:39pm by ilikepie121

Are they hidden consecutively? Or can #2 be hidden in a page i already viewed if clicking previous...

#3 - On 12/09/2009 at 9:28am by Sakura_Yuki

They're hidden in any of the pages, and if you've looked at a page, it can't be on that one after you click away. They're random, but don't change pages.

#4 - On 12/09/2009 at 9:42am by Lasak

Was far easier then i anticipated, found em all in 30mins, now just gotta win this draw =D

#5 - On 12/09/2009 at 9:57am by htmlrules

Do I have to click on each FML to find them or will it notify me on the front page??

#6 - On 12/09/2009 at 10:42am by wolfpackchick10

Check out the example, you have to find ten like these in the pages! Happy hunting!

#7 - On 12/09/2009 at 10:51am by Alan (FML Staff)

So I don't have to click on each individual FML to find them. Just wanted to make sure! Haha...thanks

#8 - On 12/09/2009 at 10:52am by wolfpackchick10

no, just scroll down each page and you'll see them.

#18 - On 12/09/2009 at 12:58pm by Frans (FML Staff)

I found them!!! FTW It only took ten minuts. ...Three browsers and ten minutes. Not bad.

#9 - On 12/09/2009 at 10:56am by PennyLanex0

Whew, that was work! Instead of writing my English term paper, which is due in less than four hours, I spent an hour trying to find all of the icons. That's a FML in itself.

#10 - On 12/09/2009 at 11:57am by asharksrevenge

Hahaha, feel free to hate us ;-)

#11 - On 12/09/2009 at 11:59am by Alan (FML Staff)

No, you can hate Alan, but not the rest of us.
:]

#13 - On 12/09/2009 at 12:07pm by Vanni (FML Staff)

No, no, no! Don't hate Alan!

#61 - On 12/09/2009 at 11:50pm by RachelTM (FML Staff)

No! Hate Rachel instead!

#93 - On 12/10/2009 at 4:04pm by GloomySkyz

Rachel and Alan sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G
etc. you people should know the rest of this

#166 - On 12/13/2009 at 8:58am by posampo

I wish!

#204 - On 12/15/2009 at 2:33am by Alan (FML Staff)

He does.

Hate me all you want. ;-)

#205 - On 12/15/2009 at 2:44am by RachelTM (FML Staff)

That wasn't too bad. Kind of easy actually.

#12 - On 12/09/2009 at 12:03pm by CharleneW

easy

#14 - On 12/09/2009 at 12:08pm by OPISDUMB

I'm confused on how you do this

#15 - On 12/09/2009 at 12:44pm by amandahope123

How you do the competition?

Ok, over on the right of your screen you see "FML Competition" in bold.
Click it.
Click the start button.
Go through the regular pages of FMLs by clicking the numbers at the bottom of each page.
Look through the FMLs. You will see a link to click when you find one.

#31 - On 12/09/2009 at 2:53pm by Vanni (FML Staff)

Ohh... So when you see a little clicky-thingie on a FML that means you found one..?

#115 - On 12/11/2009 at 12:32am by meunknown101

took an just under an hour, not too bad. just a lot of clicking and scanning...

#16 - On 12/09/2009 at 12:51pm by pathoren

Today, I went through a couple of hundred pages of FML's for the competition only to realise I wasn't logged in. FML.

#17 - On 12/09/2009 at 12:58pm by SherriTrifle

I did the same thing...it was horrible

#117 - On 12/11/2009 at 1:56am by u_serious

I just did the same >

#206 - On 12/15/2009 at 3:30am by Heaven666

Got 8 so far, but redirecting to that celebrity site every 10 or so clicks is a real pain in the ass. Well played, FML guys, well played.

#19 - On 12/09/2009 at 1:17pm by derschadenfreude

What are you talking about?

#21 - On 12/09/2009 at 1:26pm by OPISDUMB

virus maybe ?

#23 - On 12/09/2009 at 1:52pm by Frans (FML Staff)

Well, it seems like some of the ads that you're running bring up windows for malware in the form of trojans (pretending to scan your computer, trying to force your browser window to stay open). Thankfully I've only encountered it 3 times, of which all were on your website.

I'd suggest background checks, or maybe a higher standard for adverts? I mean, I realize it's business and sometimes hard to prevent, but ads trying to circumvent security and trick users is never a good thing.

#38 - On 12/09/2009 at 3:56pm by Synthuir

Every tenth click or so, I would be redirected to this page:
http://lastnews.ws/index-hz.php?

it would begin to load the fml, load the page, and when I was about halfway done scrolling down, it would reload and morph into that, some celebrity news site. I figured it was intentional, since he said "feel free to hate us." It wasn't a big deal, just slowed me down some. I actually thought it was kind of funny

#45 - On 12/09/2009 at 6:34pm by derschadenfreude

I think it's something on your computer. Is anyone else saw this url?

#48 - On 12/09/2009 at 7:15pm by Didi (FML Staff)

I had no problem in regards to pop-ups or security risks, sounds like an infection already on your PC

#60 - On 12/09/2009 at 11:43pm by htmlrules

happened to me too! sooooo annoying. i was about to punch somebody

#69 - On 12/10/2009 at 12:40am by shannonfosho

yeah mate thats a virus, you wanna do a virus scan

#85 - On 12/10/2009 at 11:22am by Kinpower

I found out when you click "Next Page" the pop-ups occur, but when you click on the page number on the left this doesn't happen. I'm guessing it has to do with ads that come from the site..

#89 - On 12/10/2009 at 2:00pm by Kenyon07

If you use Firefox, you can use an add-on to get rid of ads. But you should get rid of your virus first. Browser redirects can be NASTY.

#108 - On 12/10/2009 at 11:12pm by amykathleen

yeah. you've got a virus. I've clicked both "next page" and the actual page number and i havent been redirected.

#190 - On 12/14/2009 at 8:04am by jeniiladoosh

done

#20 - On 12/09/2009 at 1:21pm by derschadenfreude

Easier than I thought it would be... I know you're drawing winners, but today IS my birthday, just thought I'd throw that out there...

#22 - On 12/09/2009 at 1:33pm by darcloki32

I'll send you my book if I win ;)

#24 - On 12/09/2009 at 1:52pm by Frans (FML Staff)

Well that's 1 and a half hours of my life I'll never get back lol. Still, it could have been worse.

#27 - On 12/09/2009 at 2:27pm by ever_enthralled

that wasn't so bad. took me longer though cause i got distracted reading most of the FMLs, lol

#28 - On 12/09/2009 at 2:33pm by kalelja

I agree completely... Reading the FMLs is distracting. But finding the hidden ones was easy

#63 - On 12/10/2009 at 12:05am by spidersnot777

done. took a while, but done. found 7 in the first 100 pages, found number 10 on 504.

#29 - On 12/09/2009 at 2:34pm by hippoz64

Wait, announces on the 21th? 21TH? Isn't it the 21st?

#30 - On 12/09/2009 at 2:40pm by kirbyfan23

Erm... I'll try to get someone to fix that.
:/

#32 - On 12/09/2009 at 2:55pm by Vanni (FML Staff)

I thought I was the only one who noticed that......thank G-d! Im not paranoid!


Today, FML had a spelling error. FTL.

#34 - On 12/09/2009 at 3:09pm by Mookdaruch

ftl ?

#83 - On 12/10/2009 at 7:25am by katgurl

f their lives?

#267 - On 12/20/2009 at 12:46pm by MEORAWRRemily

Just found the last one :)

#33 - On 12/09/2009 at 3:08pm by Sven_58

i've found them all, what now?

'Once you’ve found one of the texts, a link will allow you to update your participation.'

nothing has changed, minus the fact it says up to 'number 10 has been found' etc

confused :(

#35 - On 12/09/2009 at 3:11pm by Kaleigh_o

Once you find them all, then you're automatically entered in the drawing. You don't have to do anything else.

#44 - On 12/09/2009 at 6:31pm by derschadenfreude

After finding all 10, I just realized a much easier way to get around it using Firefox. FML :(

#36 - On 12/09/2009 at 3:39pm by Synthuir

I realized this too, but when I had just one left to find, and I figured it would be too much work to restart my browser at that point (I have that feature disabled because it bugs me quite a bit).

#39 - On 12/09/2009 at 4:04pm by dawnsdream

I found them all!! :)
Thanks for that much-needed distraction from doing homework haha.

#37 - On 12/09/2009 at 3:48pm by PureGold

Woohoo! I'm done. That was a lot of work Lol.
What do we do now? Just wait till dec. 21 to hear who won ?

#40 - On 12/09/2009 at 4:10pm by JustSoLost

Started my search with two tabs - one to go from the beginning, and one from the end. And of course, the last one was RIGHT in the middle :)

#41 - On 12/09/2009 at 4:46pm by pyost

Actually, it wasn't that hard. All I did was scroll from top to bottom, and look for the bright yellow FML book.

#42 - On 12/09/2009 at 5:08pm by FieryIceFantasy

Are you guys serious!!! this took me forever. I dunno what this ten minute business is about but I certainally wasn't that lucky

#43 - On 12/09/2009 at 5:20pm by dralph

i should have been studying but i just sat and found them all :)

#46 - On 12/09/2009 at 6:42pm by caronmonster

was really quite easy, shame it's a draw thing and not who's quickest. ah well :)

#47 - On 12/09/2009 at 6:57pm by soiree

Yay, found them all! [: Damn clicking.

#49 - On 12/09/2009 at 7:30pm by ShimmyPizza

EPIC WIN!

#52 - On 12/09/2009 at 8:22pm by andyourpointis

i got them all in 4 hours :]

#53 - On 12/09/2009 at 8:37pm by omgitsnikkie

I did this in under two minutes. Used Firefox with Autopager to load all pages, and then searched for each one, and clicked it

#54 - On 12/09/2009 at 9:50pm by remuslupin93

I also used firefox and find'm all but via scanning page by page.Where is the fun if you cheat?

#221 - On 12/16/2009 at 10:12am by lugalgal

Took me the better half of the day (had to clean the house in betweeen looking) but I found them all! I felt like a little kid on Christmas morning every time I found one. LOL

#55 - On 12/09/2009 at 9:59pm by egads

=]

#56 - On 12/09/2009 at 10:03pm by egads

I decided to go backwards, and of course, the last one was on page 19... lol

#57 - On 12/09/2009 at 10:06pm by connorod

i just finished finally! and it was tedious lol cause i did it the old school manual way. procrastination? hell yeah. and after all that work you guys should give out a 100 books! :D

#58 - On 12/09/2009 at 10:27pm by yeahreally

I am happy to hear that I am not the only student procrastinating studying to sift through pages and pages of FML's for a slim chance to win a book that contains things I already have access to for free lol.

#59 - On 12/09/2009 at 11:42pm by DarkJoy

But there are illustrations (quite a few and they are really funny, IMO) that you can't see anywhere else but in the book. It makes a great gift too. :)

#113 - On 12/11/2009 at 12:23am by Vanni (FML Staff)

The book is quite nice to have too! It looks wonderful on my bookshelf.

#239 - On 12/17/2009 at 7:45pm by RachelTM (FML Staff)

Darkjoy, you're my new hero.

#62 - On 12/09/2009 at 11:52pm by CloClo

I gave up after 6 pages of looking.

#64 - On 12/10/2009 at 12:13am by Daaniellee1234

*like*

#139 - On 12/12/2009 at 1:16am by whatevershesaid

I found my first 2 with in 5 min in 2 pages... then for my last one, I apparently skipped it! I had to back track to find it. Oh well. I is done... FINALLY!!!

#65 - On 12/10/2009 at 12:14am by little_unhelper

I still dont get how to do this,
anyone care to help?

#66 - On 12/10/2009 at 12:19am by Broken_Alexx

Login, start looking at every page (e.g., start at home page, click "next page" at the right-bottom).
Somewhere after (on average) 40 pages or so, you'll see a page where one of the FML's has
a gif of a yellow box with hat, and a link with text "I’ve found the FML, and I’m confirming it here!"
Click that link.
Keep searching.
You can check your status by clicking on the "FML Competition" link on the right panel (just
after "My Account" ... make sure it's there before doing this work, and make sure you registered
for the competition!) (To check that you're registered, click on "FML Competition"and look for
text that says something about you participating.)

The nice thing is that the "FML Competition" page gives you a clue as to where you might need
to look for more of the 10 links. I.e., if you found one on page 100, and the "FML Competition"
page says "you found link 1 at page 100", you know you don't need to look at pages 1..99.

Woah. Thats really something to be proud of #67. I think you deserve a championship cookie.

#68 - On 12/10/2009 at 12:29am by Daaniellee1234

Wow... Glad i only had to check 325 Pages instead of all of them xD. I also got redirected to that weird URL but i didn't care... I have a Mac you know :D ! I honestly thought it was to slow us down :p !

#71 - On 12/10/2009 at 1:11am by sweet_j_tbr

I haven't found any yet! I'm gonna see if I can get my mom to help me out tomorrow cuz I have to go to sleep!!

#72 - On 12/10/2009 at 1:15am by Tigg3r

I finally found them all. I went through almost 300 pages without finding one and was worrying I skipped them lol

#73 - On 12/10/2009 at 1:22am by sassyray

It was appreciated that they showed up on our contest page in numerical page order.

#74 - On 12/10/2009 at 2:50am by superlizzy16

Finished in 58 minutes . Great use of time I'd say so myself (:

#75 - On 12/10/2009 at 2:59am by drinkupbabydoll

wow that took long for me, like an hour, i had to look at basically 480 pages..

#76 - On 12/10/2009 at 3:31am by rockertoad

hmmm I think im a little bit late right? i just found all in like 45 minutes ._.

#77 - On 12/10/2009 at 4:09am by Gabos

eh wasn't too bad, coulda been worse.

#78 - On 12/10/2009 at 5:10am by Kaldra

FOUND THEM

#79 - On 12/10/2009 at 5:25am by Maxine17

Found them all. Wasn't that bad though my finger feels a little weird from scrolling the mouse too much.

#80 - On 12/10/2009 at 6:02am by chalkboards

Done and Done. I hope I win.

#81 - On 12/10/2009 at 7:04am by jerago

Ah the wonderful nice things of having opera and a many button gaming mouse. Set screen to 50% which shows all the fml's in little tiny text, then click foward on the mouse to automatically load the next page, scan for book icon, repeat.

Easy!

#82 - On 12/10/2009 at 7:20am by Zero_Demon

Done :D I was getting worried near the end though, since I still had 4 or 5 left. But they were all stuffed in the last pages ^_^

#84 - On 12/10/2009 at 10:37am by Melwen

2 hours later, found them, my eyes burn....Thanks Alan! :/

#86 - On 12/10/2009 at 12:32pm by srhmldndo

did it :D
i did the stupid thing of starting from page 529 and going backwards.
haha

good fun though!

#87 - On 12/10/2009 at 1:26pm by laurenthegreat

Found them all. I had to take a break after finding seven of them. But horray! Now it's a waiting game...Thanks Alan. :/

#88 - On 12/10/2009 at 1:28pm by Griffay

finally done

#90 - On 12/10/2009 at 3:40pm by ChiZah

Done took mein 60min.. this must be worth the 529 clicks i did...

#91 - On 12/10/2009 at 3:54pm by dj_priyam

you actualli clicked the 529??? even thought the last one was in page 400 and something?

#92 - On 12/10/2009 at 4:03pm by Gabos

The last one was on page 505 for me, the rules state that "None of the members will have the quotes in the same place. "

#147 - On 12/12/2009 at 2:12pm by jennam

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh so thats why ._. LOL I was kind of dizzi while reading it

#203 - On 12/15/2009 at 12:16am by Gabos

**519

#94 - On 12/10/2009 at 4:05pm by Gabos

they're on different pages for everybody

#95 - On 12/10/2009 at 4:26pm by ChiZah

YAY!!! I hope I win!! I'm so poor, I can't even afford coffee. :-(

#96 - On 12/10/2009 at 4:29pm by Darling_Cherry

Fun fun (: Done aha.

#97 - On 12/10/2009 at 4:58pm by Raych_Riot

Is there anything we have to do after we've found all 10? Or do we just have to wait until the 20th and then we're entered automatically?

#98 - On 12/10/2009 at 6:15pm by bcash

You just have to wait!

#121 - On 12/11/2009 at 4:34am by Guillaume (FML Staff)

Gahhh I feel useless just having to wait!

#141 - On 12/12/2009 at 3:05am by bcash

Make me a sandwich!

#168 - On 12/13/2009 at 9:24am by Didi (FML Staff)

No, Didi, YOU make ME a sandwich. ;-D

#238 - On 12/17/2009 at 7:40pm by RachelTM (FML Staff)

Got so caught up in reading all the FMLs, so it took me forever, haha. Well, now I just hope I win; being a poor student I can't afford to buy the book... *hinthint* ;)

#99 - On 12/10/2009 at 7:06pm by Hipsus

Go to http://www.fanformittliv.com/, you'll find some more quote in swedish :-)

#255 - On 12/19/2009 at 1:23pm by Didi (FML Staff)

Found em all in a little under and hour yesterday. I was held up a bit by reading FMLs that caught my attention while scrolling =P

#101 - On 12/10/2009 at 7:29pm by Nakedsquirrel

Ugh!! Only took me about an hour though....but now my eyes are killing me!! :(

#103 - On 12/10/2009 at 8:06pm by iGetKnockedDown

I must be retarded....I've read this page a hundred times and I STILL don't get it.

#104 - On 12/10/2009 at 8:56pm by slyolddog

Click over on the right "FML competition".
Click the start button.
Start going through the pages of FMLs.
:)

#120 - On 12/11/2009 at 4:32am by Guillaume (FML Staff)

Sly if you still don't get it start at the last page and scroll down each page..you'll know when you've found one cuz you'll see the book with the santa hat..just click that and keep going..it'll seem like you aint findin shit but keep goin..good luck

#105 - On 12/10/2009 at 9:05pm by ChiZah

A good way to kill some extra time.
No hate for you, FML staff.

#106 - On 12/10/2009 at 10:45pm by TheLetterZero

Finally finished it. Hope this is worth all that clicking. :)

#107 - On 12/10/2009 at 10:58pm by FreyaMau

done!

#109 - On 12/10/2009 at 11:16pm by eandi

Just to make sure, if my brother and I do this inside the same house on the same internet connection, we won't be disqualified right? Otherwise, I have to force him to not do this competition :D

#110 - On 12/10/2009 at 11:31pm by samiams00

I don't see how they could tell. As far as FML would see...You both have the same external IP going through the same modem/line. But I wouldn't wanna risk it for such a great prize! :D

A safer bet would be to both use separate FML accounts, which re-reading your post...sounds like you are already doing. That should be no problem :)

#134 - On 12/11/2009 at 10:58pm by kurtiskain

haha That was fun! I managed to find them all in 30 minutes!

#111 - On 12/11/2009 at 12:16am by Panther

I don't get it, lols, what quotes?! Reply please? :[

#112 - On 12/11/2009 at 12:20am by meunknown101

Click over on the right "FML competition".
Click the start button.
Start going through the pages of FMLs. You'll know when you see one. You can't miss it.
:)

#114 - On 12/11/2009 at 12:26am by Vanni (FML Staff)

Ahhhh.... finally, i have found the ten quotes, now i cant say fmylife unless i dont win the book.see ya.

#116 - On 12/11/2009 at 1:02am by jrgarza11

i havent been able to find one in almost 50 pages.. do i have to click them ALL? or will i be able to notice that is different?

#118 - On 12/11/2009 at 2:16am by snowman18

After 100 pages of looking for the last one, I started laughing REALLY HARD (at midnight) when I found it. HAHAHAHA! oh, i better win.

PS: When you find all 10, do you automatically get entered in or...?

#119 - On 12/11/2009 at 3:48am by frivolous

BECAREFUL!!!!! THERE IS A VIRUS WITHIN SOME of these pages... my computer was given one, and i lost all of my files removing it! All of this just to find something to get something i can see for free

#122 - On 12/11/2009 at 4:38am by xavel

There are indeed no viruses IN the fml pages..... you probably just downloaded something with a virus.

#126 - On 12/11/2009 at 8:50am by Panther

finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy found alllllllllllllllll 10 FML quotes.... crappy internet connection does not help..

saludos to FML staff for this contest :D

#123 - On 12/11/2009 at 6:06am by f_all_our_lives

Done!

#124 - On 12/11/2009 at 7:17am by tirc

Found them all. A lot of clicking & scanning! :P

#125 - On 12/11/2009 at 8:25am by XHakudatsuX

#127 - On 12/11/2009 at 1:24pm by gabbie82

#129 - On 12/11/2009 at 5:20pm by LiquidBaseline

Wow took me at least 2 hours.... :S
My Eyes are red & burning!

So? What do i do now?

#130 - On 12/11/2009 at 6:34pm by SHARIFFO

Btw, what about all the rest of the new FMLs in the site, will they ever get published on another book or will you just expand the original or what?

#131 - On 12/11/2009 at 6:37pm by SHARIFFO

Just sit back and wait!

A book is a good idea. ;-)

#237 - On 12/17/2009 at 7:38pm by RachelTM (FML Staff)

i just got done...i have no life... :( only took me 30 mins

#132 - On 12/11/2009 at 9:43pm by fauncezepeda19

I don't think it was too bad...That being said I'm on a 56K modem :D took me over 2 and a half hours to load over 350 pages to find them all ;)

#133 - On 12/11/2009 at 10:54pm by kurtiskain

... after I logged in and looked at over 100 pages, confused to why none were coming up, I realised that I hadn't "started" the competition yet.. fml :P

#135 - On 12/11/2009 at 11:10pm by jesmck

Wow that took a while but I did it lol. I'm assuming that if we win we'll be notified by email right?

#136 - On 12/11/2009 at 11:21pm by Frank_Sinatra

Totally just finished.

#137 - On 12/11/2009 at 11:58pm by rin_kimata

I do it! OMG!

#138 - On 12/11/2009 at 11:58pm by wwyln

dont you mean, "I DID it" ?

#242 - On 12/18/2009 at 11:36am by Gabos

i'm 15 and today's the first day of my 7 week holiday. i finished finding all ten, and now realise where my holidays are headed. FML

#140 - On 12/12/2009 at 3:02am by missdot

This took me hours and hours, because I kept stopping to read the FMLs.

#144 - On 12/12/2009 at 9:26am by 64Moonshoes

Ahahah - I did the same. It's a trap!!!

#167 - On 12/13/2009 at 9:23am by Didi (FML Staff)

Today, I almost gave up on the FML X'mas competition before I even found the first FML because it appeared on page 118. After finding the next 8 relatively quickly over the next 240 pages, I had to flick through another 158 before I found the last one. FML

#145 - On 12/12/2009 at 10:26am by misterie

First on page 18, last on page 473.... >.>

#146 - On 12/12/2009 at 1:35pm by Dashu

I did it!... instead of studying for my finals...
At least I'm not the only one!

#148 - On 12/12/2009 at 2:43pm by Scarlett1324

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!! I FOUND THEM ALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! # HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally, WOOT!... now what lol

#149 - On 12/12/2009 at 3:14pm by obliterationx

Today, I had nothing better to do than go through 532 pages of FML's in an attempt to win an FML book. FML.

#150 - On 12/12/2009 at 3:25pm by easrc

It took me two days... I better win one of the freakin' books D

#151 - On 12/12/2009 at 3:41pm by Doreiku

so once you find all of them, you just sit back and wait?

#152 - On 12/12/2009 at 4:35pm by jessuhhlynn

Yes, that's right. Wait the draw!

#153 - On 12/12/2009 at 4:57pm by Guillaume (FML Staff)

Yeah, I got way too caught up in reading random FMLs along the way.
Today, the most productive thing I did was finding all 10 of them. FML.

#154 - On 12/12/2009 at 6:01pm by SargonZ

At page 100 and nothing so far... weep.

#155 - On 12/12/2009 at 7:09pm by DavidChu

now give me a book hahaha

#160 - On 12/12/2009 at 10:38pm by bittersweet818

Today, I had nothing better to do on a saturday night, Then to Stare at a computer screen for 2 hours trying to find all the 10 FML's. For the FML competition. FML

#161 - On 12/12/2009 at 10:38pm by CryingBlood

Using four browsers I managed to find it in about thirty minutes.

#162 - On 12/12/2009 at 10:47pm by Sioraf

Today, I realized all I did was sitting on my ass for hours and hours finding all of the posts. FML.

#163 - On 12/13/2009 at 12:25am by 20ths

Ha! I found all ten. I feel accomplished. Now back to flirting with this guy and him calling my Christmas tree gay. (long story but it works. lol)

#165 - On 12/13/2009 at 1:29am by PotatoBlankey39

i finally finished after 3 hours

#169 - On 12/13/2009 at 9:35am by katherinebby17

Finished! =D



I do hope I win!



It took me about 15 minutes to look through 50 pages. I finished on Page 438...so about 120+ Minutes or 2 hours+

YAY! The only thing is here is what it says:



The FML number 1 has been found on page 32.
The FML number 2 has been found on page 58.
The FML number 3 has been found on page 84.
The FML number 4 has been found on page 135.
The FML number 5 has been found on page 313.
The FML number 6 has been found on page 326.
The FML number 7 has been found on page 330.
The FML number 8 has been found on page 345.
The FML number 9 has been found on page 365.
The FML number 10 has been found on page 438.




As you can see, number 5 took a LONG time to find... 135 to 313...



Numbers 6-9 were SO Easy to find!! They were like 4-20 pages away from each other! Look at 6 and 7! 326 and 330! 4 pages away from each other!! =D



I sure do hope I win!

#170 - On 12/13/2009 at 10:18am by DavidBetancourt

Well after going through ALL 533 pages I found them in 1hr and half. Also I used my head a bit i went half ways from 1-236pgs and 386-533pgs I noticed from going backwards I found a few FML qoutes a lot quicker between a spread of a few pages.

#171 - On 12/13/2009 at 11:26am by JrossDaBoss

Woooooooooooo! :) finished.

#172 - On 12/13/2009 at 11:26am by Lillyannnn

Wow My eyes are killing me, but I hope its worth it. I can't afford xmas gifts and my gf wants this book. ::crosses fingers::

#173 - On 12/13/2009 at 1:47pm by cecilep

#174 - On 12/13/2009 at 2:35pm by ktesport95

Alright. I did it. Now what? It wasn't too bad.

#175 - On 12/13/2009 at 3:35pm by PsychoGorgeous

I went through 130 pages forwards and another hundred from the end backward and got nothing... and so I am giving up.

#176 - On 12/13/2009 at 8:29pm by nightswimming

That was fun. Thank you FML team

#177 - On 12/13/2009 at 9:20pm by kmaster1991

woo! i getta gold star!

#178 - On 12/13/2009 at 10:12pm by tdizzles

Done! Glad I started from the end, mine on pages 200+.

#179 - On 12/14/2009 at 12:12am by Teeki

Oh Yay just finished, took me over 3 hours, maybe it's because i would got distracted with FMLs i scrolled past and the converstaion i was in, internet stuffed up like half way through and i sat here clicking away rapidly on the next page button but it wouldnt work, and i think maybe i have no life because i had nothing better to do today, thank you FML staff for giving a very bored 13 year old something to do during school hols.

#180 - On 12/14/2009 at 12:22am by thexlovexfromxnz

mine were spaced pretty evenly... it's sad that this was the most exciting part of my day.

#181 - On 12/14/2009 at 12:22am by cburkhar

I know, i almost cried when i got to the end because i realized that i had just spent about 3 hours of my life scrolling and skimming and clicking though pages, sigh,

#182 - On 12/14/2009 at 12:26am by thexlovexfromxnz

yay i'm done! ^_^ what a way to avoid studying lol

#183 - On 12/14/2009 at 12:35am by semi_gemi

Ugh finally done.

I'm jealous of you people who's last one was on like the early 400s. My last one was on page 514.

#184 - On 12/14/2009 at 1:30am by hotpinklovee

Wow, you know, you could start at the end...that's what i did. and then just narrowed em down. there was a pattern to mine and i figured it out fast, which is why it only took me 30 minutes. ^_^ now i need to study for a test i know i am going to fail...*sigh*

#185 - On 12/14/2009 at 1:39am by fauncezepeda19

Found them all:) Took about an hour, an hour I could've spent studying for my history final. Oh well.

#186 - On 12/14/2009 at 1:46am by melllFACE

it took me 3 hours to find them all!

#187 - On 12/14/2009 at 2:22am by shraderkara

Got them all! Is there anything to do once you get them? Seems weird that there's no confirmation showing that you, indeed, got them all.

#188 - On 12/14/2009 at 2:27am by esushi

i went through all 535 pages and didnt find anything
and yes I did press the start game thing button.

#189 - On 12/14/2009 at 6:24am by mariafferrnanda

Well, if you didn't find anything on all the pages, you're either lying about it or obviously didn't do something right.

#191 - On 12/14/2009 at 10:37am by hotpinklovee

It's impossible :)

#192 - On 12/14/2009 at 11:51am by Guillaume (FML Staff)

I found all ten... took about an hour! This was intense

#193 - On 12/14/2009 at 1:49pm by candicane

#194 - On 12/14/2009 at 2:18pm by Rude_Girl_Ska

#195 - On 12/14/2009 at 6:08pm by meggie60390

#199 - On 12/14/2009 at 9:01pm by chenmaster

#211 - On 12/15/2009 at 7:31pm by esushi

Wow, that was actually harder than i thought it would be, but at least i found all ten:) I'm so happy I can be a part of the draw now because I REALLY want one of these books.

#208 - On 12/15/2009 at 6:09pm by malaksoufan_xo

all you have to do is go look for them and when you find one there will be a link that you click and it closes and it gets confirmed and you just continue looking for more until you have all then. and no there is no start butten...

#209 - On 12/15/2009 at 6:13pm by malaksoufan_xo

it didnt actually take that long

#210 - On 12/15/2009 at 6:15pm by danny_dog

#213 - On 12/15/2009 at 10:56pm by ilikepie121

#230 - On 12/16/2009 at 11:35pm by conartist66

#216 - On 12/16/2009 at 1:42am by i217

OMG Finally found them all, it took me an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes.. i'm tired at looking at the computer screen...

#217 - On 12/16/2009 at 5:19am by Soda_Pop02

all the page says is : FML number 1 is still hidden
isn't it suppose to say " today ...........................,fml" and we have to find THAT quote???

#218 - On 12/16/2009 at 6:05am by gutless86

That is what I'm trying to figure out, but no one has answered me.

#246 - On 12/18/2009 at 9:15pm by fionaflamingo

Yep - it means "Quote FML number one is still hiden" - you have to find this one.

#254 - On 12/19/2009 at 1:18pm by Didi (FML Staff)

I'm DONE and I took my time and did a bunch of pages each day and spread it out, so I hope it was worth it.

#219 - On 12/16/2009 at 6:51am by zeon_x

Finished! Have no idea how people did it so quickly!! I now have 3 days worth of emails to sift through...neglecting work for a chance to win a book!!

#222 - On 12/16/2009 at 11:08am by dontworry_behapp

Just finished finding them all!!
i spent almost 8 hours just searching through! haha

#223 - On 12/16/2009 at 11:31am by emjay10

That took me, like, less than an hour...

#224 - On 12/16/2009 at 2:02pm by ebmc23

well, that was addictive :D

#225 - On 12/16/2009 at 4:31pm by paprik

Today, I finally finished the FML XMas Competition, which had taken me three days. I realized that on those three days, I hadn't gotten any homework done. FML

#226 - On 12/16/2009 at 11:19pm by McDeane

wtf 3 days. it took me 45 minutes

#228 - On 12/16/2009 at 11:24pm by conartist66

Damn its a long way from 9 - 10 i thought i missed it. but i finnally got all 10 hurray :D

#227 - On 12/16/2009 at 11:23pm by conartist66

Are you kidding! That took me three days!

#229 - On 12/16/2009 at 11:29pm by McDeane

Done. Took me 4 open tabs and around 30 minutes. Not too bad.

#231 - On 12/16/2009 at 11:49pm by BambiCharmed

I started with 2 tabs ended with about 5 lol, gotta love time wasters.

#275 - On 12/20/2009 at 11:59pm by Sillymimi

Today, I found out that the French version of the site had a similar contest going on. I entered it. I have no life. FML

#232 - On 12/17/2009 at 12:53am by McDeane

I'm glad I did this at work!

#233 - On 12/17/2009 at 10:44am by connorsji

Done. Great way to waste time at work instead of actually working.

#234 - On 12/17/2009 at 11:28am by skatterbug

yay, done. ^^

#235 - On 12/17/2009 at 6:24pm by astronautess

I found them all, now what? Does something pop up, or do I just leave it?

#241 - On 12/18/2009 at 12:51am by sleeping__beauty

I don't understand. On my page it just says, "The FML number 1 is still hidden.
The FML number 2 is still hidden.
The FML number 3 is still hidden.
The FML number 4 is still hidden.
The FML number 5 is still hidden.
The FML number 6 is still hidden.
The FML number 7 is still hidden.
The FML number 8 is still hidden.
The FML number 9 is still hidden.
The FML number 10 is still hidden."
What do I do?

#243 - On 12/18/2009 at 7:46pm by fionaflamingo

Reset the page.

#247 - On 12/18/2009 at 10:55pm by BritishHobo

I did, I've gone there tons of times and reloaded it and everything, and it's still exactly the same.

#256 - On 12/19/2009 at 5:36pm by fionaflamingo

To the people who are still looking for the FMLs: Look at the ones before June 9th because that's when the book was published! No FMLs after that could be in the book. Hope this helps!

#244 - On 12/18/2009 at 8:06pm by cookiesncream123

SORRY! I meant that the book became available on June 9th!! So I guess all of the FMLs will be a little bit before that... But still check there, just in case.

#245 - On 12/18/2009 at 8:25pm by cookiesncream123

no, I thought that, too, but they're really random. My first, second, third and fourth one were among the november/august ones.

#250 - On 12/19/2009 at 2:02am by Sam_Licker81

Oh, well I doubt I can find them all in one day, because I think today or tomorrow is the last day and I still haven't found any!

#253 - On 12/19/2009 at 11:19am by cookiesncream123

it's easy to scan the pages, because there's a big yellow FML book with a Santa hat, so just click and look for the yellow book on the right :)

#261 - On 12/20/2009 at 1:25am by Sam_Licker81

FINISHED. FINALLY.
After SIX HOURS. I'm wasting my life, aren't I? :P

Anyway, I started from page 1 in one tap, and 540 in the other... and the middle four FML's were within like, the middle twenty pages. That sucked XD

#248 - On 12/18/2009 at 10:58pm by BritishHobo

Wow! That was crazy! I didn't find my first one until well into the 200s...good contest, Fmylife! I'm betting y'all will have a phenomenal next few days regarding page views!

#249 - On 12/18/2009 at 11:08pm by Jebbica

wow!! took a while...how did people do that in 10 minutes???

#251 - On 12/19/2009 at 8:18am by sezza1987

I can't find the last one. I've looked through all the pages...

#257 - On 12/19/2009 at 6:42pm by Inksoul

That took forever.. really something to do if you really havent got anything to do! but i finally found them all... I started from the end... I tell you.. I have no idea how ppl did it in 10mins!

#258 - On 12/19/2009 at 10:41pm by sydney_5_2009

done, hope I'm not too late!

#259 - On 12/20/2009 at 12:40am by Thnkyou4thavenom
