I don't have the pattern, and honestly don't even recall anyone finding or making them back then, so hopefully WC would be able to find it. I might have the 3d model around somewhere still, which I suppose could be somewhat useful for recreating the pattern if it's not recovered. I think there used to be a thread for general, non-SA lost poo poo that I can't find now. In short, I'm looking for article I read years ago about some kids who got into mostly-legal arms dealing by supplying Iraq/Afghanistan with surplus soviet weapons from eastern europe, but in the end got busted for something stupid. The problem is that I don't remember any names or other details, so searching for this just turns up recent articles. There's this one that's quite close, but not it, and it was definitely not on buzzfeed. Edit: aah thanks, I'll repost this in the appropriate thread. mobby_6kl has a new favorite as of 23:59 on Aug 13, 2014 |

A few years after the meme took off somebody tried selling an original Get Out frog plushie on SA-Mart and the thread was split equally between genuine bids and people making fun of the fact that a bunch of overpaid computer janitors were spending more than most people earn in an entire paycheck on a crappy plush toy that was made in a chinese sweatshop for pennies because it's used in funny internet pictures

Unfortunately, that thread was a little too "touch the poop" because after people started making fun of Nicky, he fought back with some incompetent internet detectivery (but a little bit hit the mark) and handed out death threats to some of the goons involved talking about murdering their kids and poo poo, which understandably escalated things. It went back and forth from there and got kind of depressing. tl;dr, folks got overinvested and it stopped being fun.

Oh, man. Does anyone have that old thread that was something like "Why is everyone acting so immature all the time?" It was by P. Grothsmore or something, I think, and it was about this 15 year old who had read Karl Marx's book like 13 times or something. Also, the old thread where people wrote new hosed up republican chain emails. I think it was called something like "A bear walked into a..." Most of the stories ended with "And that student was einstein!" or "Welcome to the republican party."

Anyone have a link to the thread from maybe 6-7 years back where someone convinced a bunch of goons that they could make their own pheromones to make women instantly attracted to them by pissing/jizzing onto a frying pan, boiling it and rubbing it on themselves?

Trying to remember the thread / name of that badass story someone posted about ants. Starts with a kid taking care of an ant hill, eventually involves giant ants. That poo poo ruled and I always try to google it every so often with no result. It may have taken place over multiple threads.

It has some shades of that (assuming the story is similar to the Outer Limits episode, anyway), but it had a lot of other interesting elements too if my hazy memories of it are at all accurate. All the stuff with his girlfriend?/rival and the pheromones and him just going to crazy lengths for his ants and so on.

I haven't thought about this in years but close to probably 10 years ago on SA some goon made a video of like a mock horror thing. It wasn't very long but I remember one of the punchline/scare gags was a shock pan to a nerdy looking guy sitting down tapping his fingers together like Mr. Burns and kind of horror-chuckling, going 'heh heh heh'. I literally cannot remember anything else about it and don't want to fill in with hazy details that probably aren't true, but I'm hoping it'll trigger somebody's memory. Anybody? I'd just like to watch it once again for some reason.
