Someone in the group posted a screenshot of the Dude In Question (DIQ) messaging him on facebook, being all, and I'm paraphrasing, but it was really bad "You think that when your daughter gets old enough, you won't try to gently caress that? Oh man, when she brings all of her friends home, you'll start thinking things, blah blah blah' and then he says something about a tight 'pussybone'. So, guy who gets the message posts the screenshot in the group, asking very much 'what the loving gently caress?!'. DIQ then starts to apologize, saying that he was drunk and he was trying to be super edgy and goony, and went too far.

Meanwhile, literally everyone is commenting with various forms of 'WHAT THE gently caress?!' and 'you know, being drunk isn't an excuse', and a bit of 'stuff you say when you're drunk is likely to reveal some deep-seeded issues'.

DIQ then posts a separate post, once again apologizing, he went too far, he was drunk, blah blah blah, and then he left the group.

THEN, someone took the screenshot, tracked down the guy's wife, and messaged her with the screenshot. Now both DIQ and wife have completely locked down FB profiles, and his life is likely (understandably) ruined, at least for the foreseeable future.

And I guess someone showed his mom. Roro obviously knows more about that than I do.

Hell, our prez got away with it...

Yes it's 2017 let's get our API via some third-party addon to our PHP forum rather than expecting it to be built into the drat software like something modern. Maybe we can bring on XenForo addon author "xfrocks" as Radium 3.0 when his code makes the forum slow to a crawl because no previous XenForo installation ever had more than 30 users online.

you have been visited by the Tasty Garlic Bread. you will be blessed by having good Garlic Bread in your life time, but only if you comment "ty garlic bread" in the thread below
I read through the first 51 pages and didn't see anything about this...does someone have a link to the thread from around 2010 about the goon and his friends who foolishly bought a plot of land sight unseen in some desert wasteland in Texas? I think they called their camp "Texarakas" or something like that. Everything about their failed plan was hilarious except the part about them bringing a German Shepard with them in 110° heat.

One of them was a goon or at least was friends with them because I remember the OP starting the thread to show GBS how awesome his enterprising friends were only to get ridiculed for how horrible their plans were.

I didn't think it was possible but time hasn't rendered this lot of fools any less pathetic than I remembered them to be. From the Boston.com article preceding the move:

quote:

In Texarrakis’s founding myth, charismatic ringleader Gene Atwood, 28, of Watertown bought the land off eBay in 2003 for $550 plus $100 in fees. He put it on his mom’s credit card...

...So the foursome set up a trading post in Somerville last Saturday to sell the detritus of civilization — a “Braveheart’’ DVD, a croquet set, Nintendo controllers, ski boots. Atwood presided over the proceedings in a cowboy get-up.

Is this different from the Goon that proudly bought land in the desert of Texas that was smugly bragging about getting so much land for so cheap, then everyone tore him to pieces over things like having to have water brought in by truck because you couldn't even reach it with a well?

I don't remember this exactly, and would be grateful for anyone who found the exact quote, but as I recall, the dude was really angry about a naked (green-skinned, cadaverous) female vampire model, and when people expressed confusion about how he found this sexy at all, he compared it to how if you found pizza in the trash, it would still make you hungry for pizza. poo poo was quality

Honestly, that dude being the kind of extremely sheltered religious kid who is both repulsed and uncontrollably aroused at the vague sight of anything resembling a sex characteristic would explain a lot about that chain of posts. But not the garbage pizza analogy.

Fun fact about that guy: He was banned from the SA pony offsite for being too obsessive.

the MLP threads on SA quickly devolved into goons introducing their ponysonas and adopting pony language and pony avatars and posting really weird stuff.

They threads were banned from SA so they created the Ponygoons.net offsite forum which is apparently still around today and known as "The Round Stable".

If you're going by what you saw in the social media thread, they weren't talking about the shooter, they were talking about someone who'd posted a page or 2 earlier.

Not really a saga, but does anyone remember when someone made a big thread dedicated to much they thought the movie Lucky Number Slevin was bad? It was pretty great. I think it was in CineD, but it could have been in GBS. It was quite entertaining.

I've seen a few of those threads, usually in GBS, where someone does a super-long, incredibly detailed write-up on a random movie and why it's good/bad

They're usually pretty entertaining
