Benny, serious question here, what do you want in life? Like assuming you somehow got a book deal because some publisher wanted to share stories written by a retarded sex offender or whatever your deal is, so you actually had money to not mooch off your parents any more, what happens next? Or does your fantasy just end with "wow im a writer with my own tvtropes page and everything"?

Benny, I know that people have just sort of made up this sex offender angle but you have never done a single thing to say it isn't true. Can you at least deny it so that people can move on from it?

Also, why don't you address the two people claiming they proofread your story?

I was not expecting the Target redux plot twist. I hope his second run through of cart retrieval duty proves to be a smashing success.

I am still hoping for an hour-by-hour breakdown of a day in the life of Benny (not an oddball interview day, just a normal Wednesday).

Let me clear up the proofread lie thing:

Illegal Carrot saw an earlier draft, but I can't tell from what he actually said whether or not he did a proofread of it.

Here is a cut-down IRC log with the relevant parts:

http://pastebin.com/9TbXLfuj (this conversation happened after the judges decided Bird of Fortune had lost, and Benny was supposed to claim it as his at this point, but he never did. This is why we are asking Carrot to tell us.)

I don't think this is an ironclad lie we can catch him in unless Illegal Carrot confirms that he did proofread it rather than just "asked me for a critique".

Remember that one kid in gradeschool that would follow you and your friends around with a dumb smile no matter how many times you told them to gently caress off. And you eventually had to shove them into a ditch and they still didn't get the message. And pretty soon you're just wailing on their stupid face and you still can't drive it into their skull. And you eventually realize with horror they will never get it. They are destined to wander through life completely oblivious to how loving stupid and useless they are. Their vacant, bovine eyes and slack grins will endure for eternity. And for every genius and luminary whose limitless contributions to society are cut short by cruel fate or self-destruction, an endless tide of Bennies will endure, their lives fulfilled by the successful operation of a shopping cart.

Your words evoke anger, frustration, confusion and suffering. This is art.

I know this might seem weird, OP, and maybe a little gay, but I want you to know that you're a real rebel and gently caress what everyone wants you to do, and that gives me a boner. You don't give a gently caress about what you should do, you go against the grain son. So what if your life is poo poo? So what if the chances of your thread becoming an E/N success story are effectively nil after more than a year (if the odds were ever in your favor to begin with; I'm betting not)? You gotta live your life, OP, and you shouldn't let anyone tell you how to do that. The world is out to get you and thwart your efforts at every turn to better yourself. Fight it, brother. Fight it. You've gotta clear your name and let everyone know it's not your fault. I believe in you, OP. No, not about becoming an E/N success story, but I believe in you about something and that's what matters.

Shine on, you crazy diamond. You make my day every day, Che.

Are you seriously arguing the semantics of a one-sentence sarcastic parody-comparison?

The point is that Benny has enough issues, and provides enough frustration (or entertainment, depending on your perspective) without goons randomly making (actually serious and borderline libellous) poo poo up about him.

So, I don't think anyone here is afraid of making 'borderline libelous' statements about him, what you said has nothing to do with a parody and I'm not sure you know what the meaning of the phrase you used is.

Again, what's wrong with him just saying 'no'?

There is absolutely nothing libelous —borderilne, serious, or otherwise— about any statements anyone here has made about Benny. Y'all need to carefully read up on what constitutes a libelous statement, son.

Then again, you spelled (or should I say spelt) libelous with two "els" and are whiny, both of which imply you are a Britgoon, and we all know what kind of poo poo libel laws you have over there. Here in 'murica that don't fly.

Then again further, given the chicken loving incident you yourself were involved with back in 2009, I'm not sure you have any leg to stand on here. :iamafag:

The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Luis Pedro Gonzalo y Merino
Chapter 3 and Final: Dances with Snakes


Holmes and Luis walked for miles. Soon they walked into an empty village that was empty of people. The buildings were all there, but not the people. A bird made a noise in the sky, and Holmes looked up at it. It was not the bird he saw flying in circles flying earlier, so he stopped looking at it.

Luis tapped Holmes on the shoulder. "Yo, Holmes. I know this village. It's my village. But there should be people here."

Holmes looked carefully around the empty village. Then he looked at Luis and spoke carefully. "Yes, Luis, where are your people?"

Holmes and Luis walked into a dusty coffee shop full of empty tables. They sat at an empty table and looked at the dusty menus which were lying on the empty table.

"Yo Holmes," Luis said, "I'm hungry. Let's eat".

Holmes laughed a harsh laugh and barked at Luis "But there are no waitresses! How will we order our food?"

Then someone came through the back of the restaurant. He walked through two creaking doors that swung open and closed like in a saloon. The person walked over to Holmes and Luis.

The person took a dusty chair and scraped the chair on the ground and sat down on the chair at the table where Holmes and Luis were sitting.

"Welcome to my village," the person said. "I am Benny."

Benny talked again. "I am the person who brought you here. I made sure you got jobs at the gold mine, I made sure you saw the bird in the sky, and I made sure you walked to this village."

Holmes looked at Luis. Luis looked shocked back at Holmes. Holmes looked at Benny and then asked him a question.

"Why did you bring us here, Benny?"

Benny answered Holmes by laughing a loud, shrill laugh. When he stopped laughing he got serious and said to Holmes "because I am the snakedancer. I dance with snakes and everyone calls me Benny the Snake. So I made you dance! I made everone in the village dance! For me!"

Benny got up ominousy and pushed the chair away from the table. He yelled at Holmes and Luis.

"I SAID DANCE!" he yelled.

Holmes grimly stood up. Luis also scarededly got up.

The hour had come.

Holmes looked at Luis and asked him a question. A question he had always wanted to ask but never knew how. Now he knew how.

"Tango?"
