Yeah same here. poo poo like fecal lasagna and the old saga of Mr. Water are some of my favorite classic SA memories.

What's even funnier is so many people just write us off as idiots when they look at the front page and find out you have to pay to post on our forums.

Funny how it becomes so trendy to jump in and call bullshit once there are enough people that you blend in amongst the troles. (that's the eastern european spelling)

Foodpie, do you have any pictures of some of your wounds? I'm curious to see how a gunshot hole heals. Also, do people at a hospital give you a hard time when your explanation for your injury is that you fell on a bullet or something?

Why would you ask for bullet wound photos from someone you know is lying? You was him to do special effects?

Who was the Goon that tied a string around one of their toes in order to force an amputation to escape a shady Mexican rehab place? I remember he had some other... interesting posts. I think he posted a pic of his foot post-amputation.

Don Danger posted:

I chat regularly with some dudes from TCC in Facebook and they can attest that I'm not that dangerous at all. Buuuut... I just did a Rat-stuck in a rat-trap stunt.

I got stuck in rehab again, because a friend got into trouble, told his mom I had sold him the morphine, which I WOULD'T sell were I able to score some easily, and got me into trouble at home.
I was in an art exposition having a few drinks and watching snobby crap, mostly enjoying the company of friends, music, the free whiskey and the free wine.

So, I arrive home at night after having a discussion with my mom by phone, unrelated to the alleged drug-selling I supposedly did. When I DO arrive I was stumbling, had a little bottle of whiskey in my coat's pocket, went right into my room, popped some k-pins and drank my bottle.
When my mom comes, it was pretty fuckin late, she woke me up and told me I was going to rehab for a YEAR for dealing drugs.

gently caress, that, I grab my coat and run outside to be greeted by the rehab-squad. They punched me, kicked me and slapped me all the way to the facility, giving me aweful bruises. Ok, "gently caress them" I think, I'll get out of here before 4/20.
So, I asked an old dude for a rubberband and wrapped it around my finger until it got kinda purple, everyone ignored me.
Did it again, it got kinda green, again ignored.
Again, it got gray, creepy and had a huge pustule. Now everyone freaked out but still waited for one loving day.

When they take me handcuffed to the hospital and release the cuffs inside, the doc comes inside, I just roll up my sleeves and show the damage that was done... the finger's death was just an excuse to get an outsider to see the damage. He looks all concerned and says he'll be back. Score. The Attorneys at General Justice come and take a look at the case.

Basically this all around both arms and legs, picture is old, this is what happened last year in the same place.

The finger in case looks like this:

Sorry, I don't have my good camera with me.

Well, they're now basically making GBS threads their pants, my mom granted me freedom which was my original intention (cuz gently caress! A YEAR STUCK SOMEWHERE?) and just got an attorney to press charges, unless Mr Oyervides wants to settle this out of court.
I got 3 MD's supporting the case, like 8 people still stuck inside that got to watch the beatdown (and also want OUT NOW), the people from the Attorneys at General Justice trying as hard to crack down on violent rehab centers and everyone who gets money from that place scared shitless. (According to a friend that still goes there from time to time, they left people painting last night and cleaned/washed everything to make the place seem nice, also reopened the "gym" which is not functional at all, it's just a set of old rusty dumbells, barbells and a smelly punching bag).

So...
If I get to keep my finger, cool. If not, I'm getting a tatt of a rat biting it's own leg off. Also, got my fucker friend to come clean to my mom and tell her they were his, but he just wanted to get some heat off of him, she agreed to keep it quiet. Mom's pretty cool, just not down with me breaking the law (selling drugs).

Note: Finger = toe, it's a Spanish to English translation thing and OP uses them interchangably.

JRE was a poster.

There's also the old thread X JAKK posted about urethral sounding, causing his penis to "spray blood like laser beams" - here (warning, 2004 GBS) but (un?)fortunately the pictures are lost to time.
That's not my X JAKK memory.

So back in the day Lowtax was dating Integral and elpintogrande was dating Fistgrrl. Everyone in that sentence was an admin at the time. Anyway, EPG made a thread "Fistgrrl: Please report to the Love Gym" where he made a really nice and heartfelt post about how much he loved her. It may even have been a wedding proposal, my memory is fuzzy. Anywho, Lowtax knew about this beforehand and also prepared a thread "Integral: Please report to the Love Barn" which had Jeff K style mspaints. Then X JAKK made a third thread called "YOU: REPORT TO THE LOVE ... SOMETHING" and all I'm gonna say is it was bad and involved self harm.

Commendable deduction.

I would have just googled "Amazon MMO" long before making that connection.

Tossed Salad Man. I met him at :gooncamp: and we even carpooled there one time.

He worked at the same school system where I went to school but started working there after I graduated so we never met before Gooncamp.


I remember he went busking with a "Will fix your computer for food" sign while dressed in a button up and kahkis. And it worked. He ended up fixing someone's computer and printer situation and got dinner and some cash.

It's the praxis of "gently caress YOU, gently caress YOU, gently caress YOU, YOU'RE COOL, AND gently caress YOU I'M OUT"



Speaking of, I just saw something that reminded me of another old rear end SA thing.

Infinitum posted:

YES! THAT'S WHY I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!

Infinitum italicized, underlined, and bolded that message, which is actually pretty easy with keyboard shortcuts or Awful app tools. But back in the day, there was a special BB code move "mod" that did all three at once. And no, it was not restricted to moderators, but like many things here it got ridden into the ground and was removed. Spoiler text also almost got removed completely because of overuse, and strikethrough went away for a time.

Sometimes that comes up in a story thread where the person has a choice of stories that will take a while to write up, and just conveying the idea of “all those are good just slam on the keyboard”.

Those threads are few and far between which reminds me I should make a new EMS stories thread in GBS, it’s been like three years since the last one.
