This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

"The drug's dangerous," she said, "but it gives insight. When a poster iss gifted by the drug, she can look many places in her memory — in her body's memory. We look down so many avenues of the past . . . but only chill avenues." Her voice took on a note of sadness. "Yet, there's a place where no yobber can see. We are repelled by it, terrorized. It is said a man will come one day and find in the gift of the drug his inward eye. He will look where we cannot — into both yob and fyad pasts."
"Your idiot philosopher king?"
"Yes, the one who can be many places at once: the the idiot philosopher king. Many posters have tried the drug . . . so many, but none has succeeded."
"They tried and failed, all of them?"
"Oh, no." She shook her head. "They tried and got perma'd."

This thread, where OP asks goons if he should open a coffee shop in a lovely part of town:

Shamino posted:

I've been unemployed since January and am trying to figure out my next career move. I have a lead on a spot in a lovely part of town for $900/mo and figure it'll cost me about $20,000 all in to get the place open, which is about 90% of the savings I have left. It's near a busy intersection and an office park so there is plenty of vehicle traffic. If I can do even 200 drinks/day (just 25/hr assuming I'm open from 5-2) it'd take care of all my bills and then some.

Also there is no need for a vent hood. What say you goons.?

"Hi Ken, what did you get up to this weekend?"

"Well, I worked on my porch and a little bit of work on my jeep. Oh, and I also ripped a wall out of my house and replaced it in a weekend for about the 16th time because this time the previous owner forgot to include a bottom plate and so my second floor was floating on floorboards, This latest fix brings my house up to about 60% overbuilt atomic command bunker and only 40% papier mâché moulded into the shape of a house"

Kastein's house thread is amazing. Buying the house he did is quite possibly the worst decision of his life. The way he just keeps fixing it up learning as he goes but doing everything properly is quite inspiring.

The house that he is working on now is the 2nd that he's owned and 3rd in the thread (also fixed his parents' house significantly) that was actively rotting that he has done a remarkable job overengineering.
