MOD EDIT June 11 2021, for added links and whatnot. This list of sagas generated by Something Awful is incomplete. You can help by expanding it. (By writing your own summary, improving on mine, providing links to the original threads, providing more relevant or iconic images, providing actual screen names of the goons involved, or by going out and doing something dumb yourself.) Most images compiled by forums poster The Saddest Rhino in the previous thread. groverhaus Original Thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2253640 quote:GiP mod grover posts images of his DIY home renovation/remodel/addition. Hilarity ensues when the renovations are comically inept and grover has a staggering lack of sense of humor about it. Grover also insisted that his civilian contractor rank made him the same as a colonel in the armed forces and provided a bullet-point list of predictions for the Iraq War, all of which were extremely wrong in hindsight. The Doom Bathroom Original Thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3813464%22 quote:Forums user BeatMasterJ posts about his upstairs bathroom renovations in the DIY subforum, talking about wanting a sunken bathtub. In one image it is clear that he has sawed through the top of the I-beams in the bathroom floor in order to make this. After being roundly mocked for this and the mockup of the final design, he lets slip that he wants to make a bathroom that will appeal to women because they hold “disproportionate power” when a couple is purchasing a house. He disappears for months and then comes back with images of the final product, which is horrifying.

The Zipline of Death, or, The Machine Designed to Kill Kids in the Most Efficient Way Possible Original Thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3281586 quote:A goon posts images of a zipline he is building at a children’s summer camp.

Was it a goon that 1. had a terrible full back tattoo of a panther and 2. totaled his car, used the insurance payout to buy a motorcycle, and then immediately lost his arm in a motorcycle accident?

I think it was motorcycle accident first, then a Lambo that he couldn't drive correctly because he had one arm. Which he then wrecked.

I think Triticum Guzzler's saga wrap-up post should be included somewhere near the OP because it's definitely referenced all the time and is part of the fabric of SA sagas no less than the sagas themselves.

The Kontaur post was everything you want from those threads, a subject matter expert makes an effort post and explains just how poorly planned/thought out the idea is. Then the OP makes 'jokes' about buying buttplugs to prevent being raped and carrying a CO2 pistol to scare off potential robbers. It was some doughy spoiled boy who didn't like his easy life of office working and decided to make himself famous by walking across America and couldn't even make it a single half day.
