Today, I met my daughter's boyfriend, who she hopes to marry. I asked what he does, to which he answered, "I'm a Flamencologist." Flamencology? The study of Flamenco? Huh? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
So exotic
Today, my mother met a new member of my band. He's a piano player from Mexico City. She introduced herself as my mother, then asked him if he spoke Spanish or Mexican. This lead to a long talk about how they speak Spanish in Mexico too. She didn’t believe him. FML
Are you OK?
Today, my husband started taking language classes. Not something sensible like French or Spanish, but fucking Latin! Why the fuck would anyone learn Latin? What a stupid fuck. FML
Today, I introduced my Spanish friend to a girl I've had a crush on for a long time. Because he only spoke Spanish and she only spoke English, I was the translator. The first thing he said to her was, "You are really pretty." I translated it as "I like other men." Later, they found out. FML
Truth bomb
Today, I showed up at my boyfriend's work to surprise him by speaking in Spanish, his first language. I've been taking classes secretly. He smiled, kissed me, and then finished telling his friend, in Spanish, that I'm boring and ugly but he's got nothing better going on. FML
Today, I introduced my mother to my new girlfriend. My mom made a very nasty comment about her in Spanish, not realizing that my girlfriend teaches Spanish at the local school. FML
Today, at my daughter's fundraiser, I noticed that a guy with a face only a fist could love kept staring at her. I said "Beautiful, isn't she?" Before I could tell him to keep it in his damned pants, he replied "Hah. She's my girlfriend, dude. Total beast in the sack." Complete news to me on both counts. FML
References
Today, I was talking to a smokin' hot Cuban sorority girl. She told me her mom only speaks Spanish, so she translates for her. Without thinking I said, "Oh like Chewbacca and Han Solo?" FML
Today, I found out that all the everyday Spanish words and phrases my boyfriend has been teaching me have very vulgar meanings. I found this out after I said a few to our waitress. FML
Today, I spent the day studying with one of my classmates whom I've just met. While studying, she kept bragging about her boyfriend and decided to show me a picture of him. It was my boyfriend. FML
Today, I finally met my daughter's boyfriend. He has a face tattoo. FML

wtf is flamenco????
allmidnighteyes 11
Flamenco is a form Latin art. Flamencists often spend years training tigers to swim and fight underwater in order to engage in undersea battles against Great White sharks. If the tiger makes it out alive, the Flamencist rewards it by letting it feast on its fallen enemy before riding it off into the sunset. I don't know why OP is so against it, it seems pretty awesome to me.

if your elbows can cover your boobs then they aren't big enough
Acousticpixie14 6
No kidding...small boobies. Also, did anyone else get what I got from that small rant of his? "OMG a naked girl! I'm in loooove!!" You need help.

144, I agree, that guy has NO game whatsoever.
MrBond007_fml 6
sorry guys, I wasn't really talking about the boobs or the sexuality of the pic, I thought it was artistic and creative, and I rarely see a photo that I really like. I think it's really funny that she removed the pic though. sorry didn't mean to creep you out!!!!
MrBond007_fml 6
oh and by the way pixi, I really like your comments, and respect you, means a lot that you took the time to bash me, but common go easy

The study of Flaming Colons. Or irritable bowels.
Acousticpixie14 6
Yes! It's just like studying any other type of dance. So what if it's Flamenco? I think it's pretty cool that he does that [:

Let's take a vote. How many here discredit wikipedia as a source?
Lolzords 11
Everyone always jumps on the bandwagon of saying how shite wikipedia is, but as long as you doublecheck the sources, there's nothing wrong with using it...
Acousticpixie14 6
I discredit Wikipedia as a source. I just already knew what Flamencology was. I learned some about it in one of my Choreography classes.
DVecc 0
wikipedia is basically a collection of information from the sources it list at the bottom of the page so I wouldn't really call it a source as there's nothing new being added... but that's just me
5t3ff1k4h 47
31 - I never once said I was against Wikipedia. I simply said that I'm going to take a vote. I for one, use Wiki all the time, but I make sure I cite the sources at the bottom (after checking that source out, of course) instead of citing Wiki. I'm amused that so many interpreted my comment to mean I'm against Wikipedia. I also must have failed in my reply - the Wikipedia comment was meant for #17.
Acousticpixie14 6
It was originally under #17 This is the comment bouncing I was talking about... Our threads keep getting shuffled between comments
5t3ff1k4h 47
I must have missed that comment, then. Good to know!

"Flamencology, from the Spanish word Flamencología, is an academic discipline pertaining to the Flamenco arts. It combines research, documentation, and other techniques to achieve the diffusion and preservation of the art." - Wikipedia

I hope your daughter has a good education because it looks like she's going to need to support him.
DocBastard 40
No, you heard wrong. He obviously said "flaming college" so he's studying to be a firefighter. You're welcome.

Nicely done there.

What the **** is your profile picture?!

Hahaha Doc I love it!

I love that you organized the list in your profile by length. It looks wonderful.

I would be careful posting surgical or pathology pictures on the internet. Direct HIPPA violation. The patient signs consent for intraoperative pictures and video for teaching and learning experiences. FML does not qualify. Don't want to see you get in trouble. Unlikely, but who knows?
brianjman14 23
Doc, I'm sorry, but that picture is creepy as ****!!!!
dc295 3
awesome
DocBastard 40
Ladybug, I'm going to assume based on the "obgyn" in your name that you are an MD also. There are no identifying features in the picture whatsoever, and noone could prove that this picture either was or wasn't anyone. You can't even tell if the person is black, white, Hispanic, Asian, or Martian, let alone the gender. There is no HIPAA violation here. Brianjman- it isn't meant to be attractive. :) Mrs. Bastard asked me not to use my daughter's pictures anymore (sorry, folks), so this is what we have now.
sirdolittle 0
I think Mrs B. is right, doc. So you don't have to be sorry. (which, I guess, you probably aren't really :p) That's too bad because she's cute (no creepy side to this point), but it can be a little risky to show picture like that on the net. And we don't come here for that kind of stuff ... or at least it should not be the case ! *throws accusing looks all around* As long as you are a happy family. Damn, it's not exactly the subject of the fml ... ^^'

People are sneaky. And with the lawsuit happiness that surrounds us, it isn't too far-fetched to think that someone could put two and two together. For instance, someone at the hospital who knows you and you family, sees the pic of your sweet gal and connects the dots. There were no identifying markers on the ulcer pic, however, looking back at your OR schedule and-there you go. Dots connected. We always have to practice CYA. I wouldn't do anything that puts you or your family at risk. Just some friendly advice from one doc to another!

there is no way that anyone could be sued for the picture shown above. reason being if you look up x-ray photos on the web you will find many like it. and like doc said before there isn't any PII so case closed
Ruff_fml 3
God damn doc. Did you ask the patient how/why they did it?
ladybugobgyn 0
My comment was about a previous pic.....an open case. Correct about the current pic.

At least she got the stereotypical dream of every girl: A guy who'll take her dancing. I don't know about what this entails, but I do have to give him props: Anyone who actively pursues a career like this has some major balls. If I could get good, guaranteed jobs playing guitar, bass, or singing... No, I'd still go to law school.. But, OP, you need to respect this guy. It takes a lot of courage to do something like this, especially in America where this art gets more mock than praise. But he'll probably end up teaching part-time, though

How is that the "stereotypical dream of every girl"? I have yet to meet a girl whose dream guy is one who'll take her dancing. A girl's dream is more likely to be a guy who likes to cook nowadays...
justsomgirl 4
I was thinking the same thing. don't know a single girl who's dream guy is one who will take her dancing. what a load of crap.
Acousticpixie14 6
No way. I wanna do the cooking. I'd love a man who'd take me out dancing!
dudeitsdanny 10
That's why i said stereotypical. Or am I the only one who's tired of watching tv shows with a girl/woman who says, "You never take me dancing!"? Seems we watch different television shows. But that's why I said stereotypical: It's a stereotype television has given women for yearssss. But I apologize if my use of stereotypical didn't make it obvious that it was just my way of making fun of the career-choice, which is why i later defended it.
besosforme 26
I agree with both Pixie and Danny; I would love if Mr. Besos were more of a dancer. Thankfully, we both are pretty open to trying anything new, but it would be more fun if he were actually enthusiastic about getting on the dance floor. There's just something about a man who knows how to move... =] And it's true, not every lady's dream is to have a fella that likes to dance (Maybe a mechanic, perhaps? Or a cook? Or a poet?) We all have different preferences, but I didn't think Danny was wrong in stating that as a stereotype. Many women in my circle would delight in a guy who knows his way through the Cha-cha, Salsa, or Flamenco.

No, he meant Flamingologist. He studies Flamingos.

whoever looks on wikipedia.. let alone cites it as a source should be cockslapped to death.. cuz their life sucks balls..
scrapmetal58 9
What?? You need to do some research about Wikipedia. If it was wrong, nobody would use it. They check the entries.
geminiwings87 0
"Cockslapped to death"... that doesn't sound so bad. I mean it'd be better than being eaten alive by piranhas or subjected to stoning. You just figured out my choice of death. Thank you!
DVecc 0
wikipedias good for info as long as you check it's sources, I wouldn't call it itself a source because it's not bringing anything new to what it found it those sources that it list
amypr 20
Wikipedia is convenient, and generally gives the right idea about topics. No, you shouldn't base your dissertation off it, but if you want a quick, consise answer about the general explanation/definition of something, it's not the worse site you can go to. If anyone read this and thought, "Huh? Flamingos?" Wikipedia cleared that up, and that's more than you did. So shut the **** up.
