Guy Mann posted:Aside from above mentioned subpoena, there was also a guy in the mid 00s who posted (obviously fake) stories about working in the secret service that were full of all these silly but believable details (Dick Cheney had horrifically bad breath due to a prescription mouthwash he had to use, Laura Bush had all of the SS call her "mom") that a lot of people took as fact. Martin Random iirc e: yeah https://forums.somethingawful.com/dictionary.php?act=3&topicid=1750 has links to threads + apparently some political blogs thought it was real lol

I like checking ban reasons for posters in those really old threads because it's funny to see how times have changed For example, this poster got permabanned for having "3 bans and 11 probations" back in 2007

During the Obama administration there were a zillion variations on "The Bushes were nice and good and loved America, the Obamas are terrible and have no friends and Michelle is actually super ugly and I hate working for them" from totally legit anonymous secret service members.

A lot of the TCC stories ended up getting mixed together and exaggerated until you've got the story "everyone knows" of the dude who blacked out and woke up naked on the roof while a SWAT team was trying to break down the door and later melted to death in his car while high and his wife snorted the remains while hiding his pills.

I mean I think a goon did overheat and die on a drug binge in his car, and his wife later posted on the account that she found and impulsively took some unmarked pills that he had because they were that kind of hosed up couple.

There's a grain of truth in most of these TCC stories. Like some of them were talking about eyeballing doses, and some goon came along and asked "how do you eyeball a drug?" That's true. The story now is that dozens of idiots were putting drugs in their eyes.

I don't remember which chemical it was, but there was a research chemical that goons kept taking because it was legal and some goon got a line on the supply to start selling to other people. The big problems with it: 1. It made you beyond high as balls, to the point where taking too much would cause you to black out and wake up as much as a week later with no memory of the bizarre poo poo you did while high. Trying to buy a piano was only one of the many things goons did while blacked out. I'm pretty sure at least one had a psychotic break and ran around attacking people/inanimate objects. 2. It took a long time for the high to kick in, so people would think it was too weak and take way too much to try and force it.

I can't remember if I she posted to identify pills or get resale value or both. I get theses all mixed-up up, but is the car guy the Immodium OD or was that the one in/at a theater?

I know I read that thread where a lunch of dudes were so high on Krokodil that they bought some land in Texas to try and turn it into a self-sustaining goon retreat. They made a zipline that made kids break the sound barrier before slamming into the side of a Hot Dog stand owned by a impoverished Arkansas man. One of the guys who rode on it ended up in a coma and when he woke up they had to amputate his arm because he was laying on top of it and it was half dead due to Krokodil rot and lack of circulation.
