I bought deer jerky from a guy in a truck on the side of the street once. I'm 90% sure it was mule though.

Old GBS loving loved him and his wacky mod challenges, like "post your tits or get banned" haha what a cut up

the tits thing was axemaniac, not abe, also the tit challenge recipient was found to be underage but axemaniac stuck to his guns on it anyway
the worst thing abe did directly was make a bet that he'll eat his hat if X, X ended up happening so he got some stupid fruit hat and ate that instead

otherwise i think the worst thing about abe wasn't anything he did directly but that he always had a cloud of sycophants hanging around like a bad smell who would smug the absolute poo poo out of any topic he issued a challenge in because they were clamoring to see someone get punished or humiliated
always thought people getting all excited for someone's banning was kinda discomforting and creepy tbh

AFAIK he didn't even eat that fruit hat, he decided he would eat like one piece of fruit a day, and not even get into cores and peels.

Nah, he ate some of it at an anime convention and then I think either gave the rest away or threw it out.

It's important to note that he longed for and constantly requested the "fatty jerky," the jerky with the most fat in it.

There was a thread in DIY I think where s guy wanted to dig a bunker in his backyard, and some guy who an engineer kept bringing up the variety of ways that this was a bad idea. Mainly that the OP was going to die in a trench collapse. Somebody bought him a diagram of a guy being caught in a trench collapse as an avatar along with some snarky text about how he just needed a little help with some of the details. He ended up filling the hole in. I was kind of disappointed.

I remember that group from Boston, (I think, it was somewhere in the Northeast) who bought an acre of land out in the middle of loving nowhere west Texas. They made this big deal out of how they'd be self-sustaining artists/commune, but couldn't make it two days without going to a McDonald's. I think they lasted two weeks out there.

It's in saclopedia under "goon in well" and google turns up a pastebin

http://pastebin.com/F83ZG2L6



The "goon in a well" is an analogy used throughout GBS and E/N to describe goons with horrible relationship problems who refuse to take good advice.

OP: "Help! HELP! I'm stuck in a well!!!"
Goons1-4: "Climb! Climb up and take our hands!"
OP: "I'm thinking I should dig... should I dig?"
Goon5: "NO! I was trapped in a well, and digging is a bad idea! Climb out!"
Goons6-8: "Were lowering ropes! Take hold of a rope!"
Goon9: "I've even tied a harness to the end of this one!"
OP: "I can feel the ropes, but I don't want to hold onto them... should I dig?"
Goon10: "No! If you dig, you'll hit water, and then you'll be proper hosed. I should know, I almost drowned."
OP: "I dug a little bit just now, and I haven't hit water. I'm gonna keep digging..."
Goons11-18: "No! Climb! Climb out!"
OP: "Guys, I'm seriously stuck in this well! Help! HELP!!!"
Goon19: "I was trapped in a well once. It took me two years, but I managed to build a climbing machine that pulled me to safety out of a well bucket and a pocket watch. I'm dropping the blueprints, extra buckets, and an assortment of pocket watches."
Goon20: "I've engineered a jet-pack that will rocket you to safety. Stay where you are and we'll lower it down!"
OP: "Thanks for your help, guys. I'm gonna keep digging. I'll find the Mines of Moria and I'll just walk to the surface."
**Goons1-20 piss in the well**
Goon21: "Guys, seriously... stop peeing in the well."
Goon22:"Yeah, like any of you guys have even seen a real well, you neckbearded, WOW-addicted shut-ins."
