The fact that he suggested all of that cost "around 2 grand" is hilarious.

Yeah, any one component of that story could have maxed out his budget.

Drink beer every day
From my FB feed, someone linked to an article about Kids These Days or whatever and the responses were a mix of "If I did that my momma woulda whooped my a$$! LMAO!" and the typical stuff you'd expect. But then there came this:

"I will tell you a real life incident: One of the Indian kids that was born here was blackmailing his father, he would call 911 and get him arrested if he touched him, so the father put him on a plane to India. They landed in India and the father gave him couple of tight slaps at the airport, the kid reported this to the Police at the airport and the cop slapped him for not listening and complaining about his father... LOL"

I'm not sure if they immediately turned around and flew back to America or what, but that boy sure did learn his lesson that day!

Of all the things to cheap out on in a fake story, why the cost? At least 5 grand would be a lot more believable. Let's break down some of the costs.

So, for a full week (7-day binge) of blow and hookers, assume that the coke is around 1 gram per person per night (very conservative estimate). Let's round up to an eight-ball (3.5 grams) per day. I'm not sure about coke prices in Mexico (where I am, it's about 100/G), so call it 200-250 per eight ball. So, 200x7 days = $1400 on nose candy alone. That gives you 600 left to pay for the girls, hotel room, booze, barbiturates, viagra, and sundry expenses (bet this guy ordered room service each night too).

This has been your "Terrible STDH.txt Math Textbook Question" post of the day.

You're way overestimating the price of coke in Mexico, but the point stands.

His fantasies doesn't involve him working in a McDonalds, it involves him eating in a McDonalds. Bet you fightin' dragons doens't seem so fancy now, does it :colbert:

I didn't realize this the first time- It even adds an extra layer of creepiness with the line "Doesn't your school have a dance tonight?" Yeah, sure buddy, you just saw the ad in the town paper...


Not to mention what elementary school has dances where kids actually partner dance individually, or if we accept that elementary school includes kids up to age 11/12, dances where kids partner dance individually to the point where non-partnered kids actually feel excluded

My favorite stdh trope is overexplaining / providing too many details for unimportant story elements.

Instead of "I was finishing my meal when ..." we get "I was just finishing off my 10 chicken nuggets, small fries, and small Coca Cola when..."

But then also getting the details wrong like forgetting it's "Coca-Cola" with a hyphen and "Chicken McNuggets" :spergin:

Note that, while he gives elaborate details about his meal, he never once describes the girl. That way she'll be indistinguishable from the other little bodies he's redressed for the eternal prom in his basement.

Also the girls go to it in their school uniform, or at least in a t-shirt with their schools name plastered on it.

It's how McDonald's employees refer to the dining area. I know it's hard to tell, with the whole lack of context clues, but I'm glad I could help you crack the mysterious code.

Agreed. If you cite urban dictionary in your complaint letter, you're either insufferable and probably deserve your annoying neighbors, or are just making it for internet points which means you live a sad, lonely life.
