Failed Projects
You start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

There was a time... long ago...
The first project me and a few mates decided to embark on, actually turned out to be a success. We managed to build a massive fuck-off big vehicle, bigger than monster trucks, once jokingly referred to as the size of a small moon, and it actually worked really well. Granted, due to its size, it didn't move very fast, and wasn't that great for picking up chicks on account of the one time we accidentally destroyed her house with it, but that was cool. Me and my mates loved it so much, we were gutted when some kids trashed it. So we cursed a bit, and my mates decided "Fuck it, lets build another one, an even bigger one." a few months later.
So we did. We took the original blueprints, scaled them up a bit to make this monster even bigger and better, and got to work.
Of course, this is where the project started to fail. I had brought my son along as he showed some interest in mechanical stuff, and he and my eldest mate had a massive falling out when we were all working on the vehicle. They start verbally fighting, and I step in to calm things down, and my son, being a stroppy teenager, starts fighting with me. The little bugger slices my hand off, and then immediately begins to apologize, and my mate goes apeshit on him and begins to kill my son. So I throw my mate to his death, and then, whaddya know, five minutes later, the bloody vandals who destroyed my first project turned up again and destroyed my second project before it even got finished.
And there is the story of my failed projects.

I regret nothing!

I haven't seen it in a while.
However, isn't that slightly wrong plot wise? Or am I reading it wrong?

Meh.
Got suspicious at "a time...long ago..." and got it completely at "small moon".
Still. Have a click.

As well as throw stuff at him and almost caused him to commit suicide.
Good parenting skills, no?
