The criscodisco thread. So adorable!

Step 1: I don't have any cats, because I don't like cats.
Step 2: I have six cats. Do you see any other cats that might need a home? I have room behind the bookcase.

I don't recall the details but the eight year old had to put the rooster down for some reason or other, which led to some altercation with another chicken, I think? Which led to the goon owner freaking the gently caress out at the kid and making them cry because how dare you not be as good at taking care of chickens as I am with my decades of experience

This is why I don't watch the egg hatching chickam stuff they do anymore.

The woman who runs the chickam is different than the one that yelled at her nephew. If I remember right, the nephew-yeller only just starting out keeping chickens in her back yard.

e- Found the post, sorry it was her niece:

Chido posted:

I'm so angry right now. I was outside with the chickens and I asked my younger niece to grab Megatron and put her in the crate so I could let Roo out of the run. What does she do? She gets distracted trying to grab another chicken and puts Megatron on the ground. Roo mounted her and ripped off the scab, tearing the wound wide open again and only part of the scab is attached on one edge. I yelled at my niece and she said it was an accident, but for gently caress's sake, how hard is for an 11 year old to do as told before playing? And this is supposedly her chicken.

I put EMT gel on the wound and bandaged it again, and brought the crate back to my room and she'll stay here until the wound scabs over again. I really want to be harsh and tell my niece how thanks to her Megatron's healing is back to square one, and that if she cries so much and whines about tiny scratches, to imagine how Mega feels with a hole on her side, and that if Mega was her size, that hole would be like 10 inches long, and how she would feel if she had a hole that big, and her muscle exposed. I won't do it because I'm not her mom, but I certainly won't let her help me anymore, and that will get through, because she hates being excluded.

He also had a supernatural gift of drawing special cats to his house. The first one was a bobtail (which granted, might not have been natural) and one of the other cats was a polydactyly.

Chido was a regular poster in the chickam threads, and she wound up adopting Megatron from them at some point, which explains the confusion.

Microwave at some point lost his loving marbles with regards to video games and would go on absurd tears about the dumbest poo poo ever.

The best example I can remember was when people were talking about Poker Night at the Inventory. For those who don't remember, it was like a 5 dollar download game that was just a poker game but with the gimmick of playing against a variety of webcomic/game characters. Like the Penny Arcade guys/Strong Bad/Heavy from TF2 or whatever.

Everyone thought it was, at worst, a bland poker game using webcomic characters to sell itself but Microwave lost his loving mind over it. Like he would spend pages and pages flipping out about how this random poker game was the downfall of all video games, that the entire medium was dead and that there would never ever be a good game ever again. He wouldn't shut up about it and got unreasonably mad about it to the point where he was making personal insults over a stupid meme poker game.

Axemaniac messed with him in the Duke Nukem Forever thread where he started saying that Duke was never good and all fans of Duke Nukem games were misogynist idiots who don't know good games and all FPS games were bad and for idiots.

Axe just posted the pic of his mom and Microwave basically had a giant meltdown.

I love this thread. No one's posted in awhile and I'm not active in it at all since the Chicago one was discovered a while ago, but it's still a great read to see people try and figure these things out. Also I think a goon is roaming around digging poo poo up in New Orleans.

The TL:DR of the last few years of that thread:

Goons got intrigued by the idea of using intelligence to solve a real treasure hunt. Turns out everything in existence is up to interpretation. One goon claims he has a perfect solution and teases how he is totally going to dig for two literal years, before disappearing for three years and acting like it never happened. Along the way various goons go insane looking at paintings and maps. The past year or so the only developments have been some obscure, dead, offsite forum dedicated to the treasure hunt where some idiot says crazy poo poo and goons here apparently have nothing better to do than catalog it.

Someone recently buried a new treasure and had a painting commissioned for it, leading to a small uptick in the insane theorycrafting but not much else.

Of the original 12 treasures two were found, but a long rear end time ago pre-SA thread.

OK, this is weird, because I've seen that thread hanging around for ages, and just assumed it was the same thread as the one that we had, years ago, about a completely different "buried treasure/puzzle book" - Masquerade, a book I received as a child. But my understanding is that the singular treasure from Masquerade was found ages ago, even though supposedly not all the puzzles in that book have been solved.

So there's two, nearly contemporaneous picture puzzle books about buried treasure, both of which have had long threads on SA.

Masquerade is an interesting story, it was 'found' by a guy who cheated literally just before someone actually solved the puzzle iirc.

Yeah, someone solved it and dug in the right spot but somehow missed seeing it in the dirt pile and filled the hole back in (treasure included)

Shortly after, someone who knew the artist realized where he must have put it and just went and got it after falsely claiming to have solved it.

I vaguely remember my mother finding 1-2 treasures from a book mystery or something, should probably call and ask to see if its the same book because that would be hiliarious.

travel channel aired a special about the book on their series which is usually about ancient bigfoot aliens. Cue thousands of people lacking the critical thinking skills to not believe in ancient bigfoot aliens flooding every message board about the puzzles with insanity.

I feel like there's a difference between "forum is generally dramatic" and "forum has one high-profile poster turn out to be awful." Everything I saw come out of AI re: the 14 INCH DICK revelation was support for the people he'd hurt, along with a donation drive for sexual-assault charities, which seems like the healthiest way they could have handled it.

We still have way too many people in DnD that love to play the debate club game bullshit. It's better now than it used to be but seriously, renaming Current Events to Debate and Discussion was the worst decision ever made for that forum and renaming it back would be awesome. Get rid of the debate club :decorum:
