Boof Bonser: nvj is touched by your generosity!

Had a SA account like 10 years ago but never posted so I have long since forgot the name/password and just made a new one. BYOB is new to me. I would like to become a legend or, failing that, a demigod. Please advise.

About three days ago I *aggressively* omitted to put coins in the parking meter on purpose and skated without a ticket. NBD.

The best way to make a good byob thread is to first have a good av. Then make a thread about other popular posters and their avs. Example make a thread called byobus then find a picture of a bus and put all the posters avs on the bus. If posters around here like anything its seeing their avs doing things.

actually the key to good BYOB thread is to marry two disparate concepts and get people to speculate on what it would be like if it were to actually happen

examples:
[sexually frustrated]+[vampire]
[sitcom character]+[stars in action movie]
[mundane object]+[exaggerated claims about its properties and/or purpose]

Here's a good thread someone can post. I don't have the dedication to follow through with more than a funny OP.

Title: I make a good tank / I make a good tank irl (not sure which is funnier)

Post: A story about how you and your nerdy friends got in a fight at a (bar/school locker room/etc) and you realized your true calling as a tank. Talk about how you dropped some really bad rear end one liner and taunted the enemy letting your friends dps. Unfortunately you wiped because you didn't jhave a healer.
