Fleta Mcgurn posted:Queen Elizatits' response was so loving good. I wish I wasn't on my work laptop so I could find the bookmark. I got you, McGurl! Link goes straight to that post, but the whole thread's worth a read. Watching the mood shift from "aww, sorry you have to give up your dogs" to Elizatits dropping that atom bomb was incredible. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3610831&pagenumber=2&perpage=40#post426212298 Also, we mere mortals got a glimpse of what mods-only forum threads look like thanks to that thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3611265 Both are goldmined, so all y'all should be able to see them.

It's extremely easy for humans to kill birds, and in this way we will stop the new rise of the dinosaurs.

Man, I raided with Woj in Cataclysm and he was a grade-a dick, on a level of dick that even 2011/12 goons could only aspire to be, really, which is a shame because as far as a poster went, he was pretty okay with his Wrestlehut 2000/Punchsport/Ringsports posts. Raiding with him though he was a complete loving knob and spent so much time lording over his achievement points in the game. When I found out about the dogs, I wasn't surprised in the least bit, especially after the part where he was insisting on playing and raiding from the hospital, complaining about the hospital internet, while his wife was mid-labor.

Maremmas aren't house pet-type dogs and are bred to have an overpowering drive to imprint on things to obsessively guard them from danger. She left it in their small yard because it was playing rough with her autistic son, so it imprinted on a tree and in lieu of wolves or coyotes to pile drive to death it ripped out all the bushes around the tree. Aphrodite posted:No, it was definitely a Pet Island mod because it's one of the lines in the Triticum Parisian catacombs post. It was Pile of Kittens, if I remeber right. They modded PI for a short stint and probated a FYAD poster for earnestly asking questions about chickens in the chicken question thread, so FYAD pointed out PoK roasted a sick parrot to death by putting it too close to a space heater.

That was the chicken thead's OP, I think. They had a rooster named "Megatron". Anyway, the Maremma thing and the chicken thread/bird roasting are the only real "fun" bits of PI drama. The rest is just what you'd expect from the Venn Diagram overlap of goony hobbyist posters and online animal fanatics. The extremely gay Ohio farmer who went from 0 to 4 cats in about a year was heartwarming though.

The single most insane thread was the dude who went to E/N to complain that the cell phone he snuck into the shower in order to film his sister malfunctioned. Like he makes a thread, goes into detail about his plan and how disappointed he was it failed and then expected goons to pat him on the back and say "It's okay" That also led to the most intense mod challenge of all time when I THINK Axemaniac showed up to reveal he had the dude's info and would call his family if he didn't promise to get therapy. What a rollercoaster.

That, or like MorallyInept tried to make it their gimmick after outing themself as a dog rapist.

sneakyfrog posted:only goonpiles i have seen in PI have been people being dicks to their animals, or completely ignoring the good advice they are being given and start getting chirpy or sarcastic to the folks trying to help. Oh don't get me wrong, most of the PI drama was valid-but-milder variations of the Maremma scenario: a goon says they'll do a thing, people reply that it's a dumb idea, goon does it anyway and it goes wrong usually harming an animal/person in the process. It's just that most of it isn't quite as memorable. Now that I'm thinking about it though there was the time a lady got a "house duck"... It had to wear duck diapers around the house because ducks have no control over their bowels. The thread died off after the duck hit puberty and she had to give it away because her boyfriend couldn't stand the constant horny quacking. (People warned her that this would happen.) She also managed to accidentally film her cootch when she was in the shower with the duck. Antivehicular posted:That was criscodisco, right? I remember that thread. Extremely cute. Oh, right, that was his name! I think he gave up posting because people wouldn't stop giving him red titles about how he irresponsibly bred his pug years befoe he knew better.  Funktastic posted:Does anyone actually have a link to the follow up? I can't remember what thread it was in. I'm phone posting or I'd link it, but it probably still shows up if you google her username. She used the same one on both SA and the other pet forum.
