moller posted:Do you mean the zipline? I managed to pull these pics out of the archives: lol yeah, that is one of the all-time fantastically stupid goon projects imo. I think it was originally an Ask/Tell thread and someone pointed out some super basic math about angles and velocity or something and said it'd pretty much be lethal for kids to actually use it, as if you couldn't tell by looking at it, too. The goon retreat & the desert hiking goons are separate, but similar and equally stupid stories about goons brutally owning themselves.

I specifically remember the OP posting pictures of his gear and his mapped-route, but didn't notice any pics from the OP in that thread. I guess he might have cross-posted to several forums, or just edited out some of the dumbest things since making the thread. There were some funny commentary on the original thread in FYAD and elsewhere, as well. Zore posted:Note he was trying to subsist on raisins because he refused to learn how to cook, ate like a particularly picky 5 year old and had the plan of stopping at McDonalds/IHoP across the country to feed himself on his 3000 mile walk. Yeah, I don't know if this is something the OP might have edited out later, but IIRC some people suggested something like bringing a battery driven hot plate or something, instead of idiotic stuff like a fake gun and an umbrella, in response to which the guy said he wouldn't be using one because he never cooked and just bought fast food. Surprisingly, after walking like an average of less than 10 miles a day for less than a week iirc, his hips had turned blue and he had to bail.

Well, 14 Inch fell off the wagon last night so he's back on meth. Saga ongoing. Also, who was that Canadian guy who drunk posted about thinking his wife left him and aired some grievances, then it turned out she just went to see her sister, she flipped out when she found the thread and made a bunch of horrible accusations at him, and they both got banned? Because he came back like 3 years later when someone posted about how lovely he was. Even posted his official court document showing the judge's decision during their divorce which was legalese for "you're loving crazy lady get away from this man and never see your kids again". That's one of my favorites.

To entice people further into reading this, the saga ends with the goon getting exhausted and hurt trying to leave a popular dog-walking park in San Francisco, and him sitting outside a park rangers' hut wrapped in a blanket with a thousand miles stare.

Nice find. I could swear that he also wanted to bring some kind of prop gun, like some realistic looking toy gun or a paint-ball gun or whatever, which he felt like he needed in order to scare away highway robbers and homeless people who might accost him. I'm almost certain, because I distinctly remember people giving the OP a lot of poo poo about how incredibly stupid that is.

People start with an idea but have no planning skills, sense, or actually ability. I'm at the part where the OP is earnestly asking if tasering a caged mongoose and then shooting or stabbing it is a sustainable and humane way to harvest them for food.

Look! A Horse! posted:Can anyone from AI explain the 14 INCH story? or is that too current? Like, the whole story? Basically, the story so far can be summed up like so: Man buys a series of increasingly terrible cars, and gets rewarded with a plague of spiders upon him. I think it was the Froot truck where it first started, then there was the Starion, where they would seemingly appear from the void to torment him. This would continue until he was done with the car. Sometime after that he moved to Seattle, and met up with a friend of his, who he started dating. Apparently they'd be friends for quite some time, and she was his dream girl. Unfortunately, she had an eating disorder that was causing her to slowly kill herself. This went on until finally he had to work up the courage to force her into rehab. While in rehab she started fooling around with another guy, and they broke up, and then she tried to come back to him, "Because she wanted to make sure he was the right one for her" Following these event 14 was professionally diagnosed with PTSD. Also in this time he bought his first good car, a former police cruiser, which of course, would not stand and was traded in for his current Civic. Following the breakup is where the downward spiral began, leading to things like the meth use and other freakouts. This continued until another forums poster called the police for a wellness check and he was sent off. After this, it was pretty much SOP for him to be freaking out about bugs/sores/etc, until I bought my truck, when and he threw down the offer to come out and help if we paid for his travel. So, after starting a GoFundMe, we raised some cash and we were set to meetup in Nebraska. Unfortunately, while our 20yo CrapVan made it from FL, he ended up going through 3 vehicles to get there. First, the Civic wouldn't start, at all, and the Camero was a no go as well. So, he got his hands on a Jeep from his buddy, (Who he also burned his bridges with after leaving) and set out for Nebraska. He made it out of Seattle before the first breakdown occurred, and then he had his cellphone stolen as well. He was able to get ahold of another fourms member and they relayed that to the thread and myself. He was able to get the Jeep running again, and basically brute force his way across the country, stopping at every parts store to grab oil to feed the beast. Unfortunately, due to these setbacks, he showed up the night before I was set to leave Nebraska, but we met up nonetheless, and showed him his new challenge. After we left he continued working on the truck, and pushed himself, way, waaaay further than I'd have expected anyone to do. At this point, while repairing the Jeep, is when it was immolated. He'd be working on a fuel leak it had, and that's when it caught fire and burned to the ground. But luckily Danno had plenty of cars to spare to get him around town. You can see his decent into madness on his youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?tyranid05 So he went HAM on the truck until the absolute last minute, and almost got it done. And through it, he found some clarity, and became a new man. And to thank him for his service and going way above and beyond, a bunch of us AI posters through together some more cash to buy him the car he wanted on Dan's property. Sadly though, this didn't work out. But he did get a first class flight home to his parents, where he picked up his current car, a Nu-Beetle.
