I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
Don't forget you have Elise the Great who never did do a book but has incredibly interesting entertaining stories Plus big peelers original zoo stuff is killer it's funny. I was also entertained by Joey Vapes toward the beginning before he got way out there.

Of course I'm biased but people that gave a lot of effort shouldn't be mocked quite so hard I think just saying. Effort threads are good and rare now

Joey Vapes would have been fine if he had just rolled with the punches when FYAD invaded his thread. Instead he got all mad that they were making fun of his stories.

I'm pretty sure I read the thread they're talking about it was like ridiculous teenage gang war and the Op was able to expertly dismantle people in fights. I think it ended with his rivals framing him for murder so he had to get a new identity and flee(??), it was basically an anime plotline.

Oh, sure. I've never doubted the Health Care Stories Thread's tales of hell-stench, just your average GBS "I had pizza and beer at lunch, and that afternoon I farted so bad that everyone puked and some lady straight-up died, and they had to replace all the interior walls in the office because the fart sunk into the drywall" story. Medical smells are their own terrible thing.

friend, you may have lived a charmed life

someone i knew, someone with real bad lifelong GI issues, was trying out new meds and did actually clear out a small fast food joint with a silent killer once... but that's it, that's the story - the gbs 1.0 version of that story would tell it like the fart's shockwaves blew out windows and it was smelt up all the way in valhalla, like, yggdrasil's wilting, freyr's crying, heimdallr's confused and blasting the last trumpet, odin's blind in both eyes now and everyone's blaming loki who's just going :drat: at the chaos, etc

it can definitely be fun sometimes, but it was eventually super overused when everyone got to doing it, there's lots of other ways to write funny stories but i guess there was too much fixation on that one way for a time, posts in other styles would get swept up like users have complained itt, and when the tallest tales stopped being the flavor of the month there was a void

Humper monkey had the dbz child, he pretended he did not know anime because he was a huge man's man who don't do nerd poo poo and eat raw bacon all the time, but somehow understood every single anime reference the kid made

He "died" and 50 foot ant, the "nephew", took over. One of his finest ghost stories involved a fridge left open overnight, which miraculously created an ice trail on the kitchen floor, which anybody who said was implausible was shouted down for spoiling the best writing in the forums, just second to that bees dude who was a car jockey in a hotel but also a fat James Bond

Also featured a series of stories of the world's most misogynistic nerd(s) in the tabletop gaming store, where he would heroically destroy the nerd with his incredible one liners and maybe a kick or two, the nerd will poo poo themselves while he kisses his hot pregnant wife while the shop owner congratulates him for being a bad rear end with a hot wife

People got sick of his stdh which kept taking over threads, he went to creative convention and wrote a new series of military ghost stories that pretended to have some legitimacy at first until it became Alien but a sentient mountain

Self published his books with creepy poser models on the cover featuring a bad rear end in a trench coat and dark glasses. Never got a publishing deal I think, he blanked his posts to sell his self published stuff

I know a lot of people liked 50footant stories but the ones I have read mostly just annoyed me. He alao edited a lot of his posts blank at some point which is against the Poster's Ethos.

He changed his username at one point, too, so that might be part of why it's hard to track down the old posts. The posts are under "Nostalgia4ColdWar" now. I noticed that when I went looking for his tabletop gaming stories about how he, his hot (so pregnant) wife, his wife's hot ex-military friend, and another ex-military guy they knew would all style on a bloated, incompetent game store owner he called "Fatback" and composite character of every negative game store patron stereotype called "Stan"

This probably came up in another iteration of this thread, but wasn't there someone (and not a writer superstar I think) that came up with a e/n thread about being in a youth gang years ago and it ended up with them being some kind of kid superhero beating up rival gangs' members? I seem to recall something and that it was farfetched even by mid-late 00's SA threads. I think they got laughed out of their own thread.

My favorite part of that thread was when everyone started dunking on Edgecrusher, and M R CRACKER came into the thread and started posting just completely idiotic stories about being in a gang. Like joining the army and taking mushrooms before killing and eating Saddam Hussein.

Speaking of MR CRACKER, he wrote a book too, but it was under a slightly different name than that. Anyone happen to remember what it was? Apparently there's a band called Mr. Cracker and my google-fu has been defeated.

Also, some people here were real mad that he wrote a book for some reason, if i recall correctly.

The book is called "Veins" and the author is "Drew" and it is very good if you like weird outsider literature.

Does anybody have a link to Hot Bread? I can find quotes but not the original thread

M R Cracker posted:

I got a crock pot on Friday (garbage day and someone threw it.) One tip I have is to put newspaper inside it, so when your recipe is done, you just throw the wet paper, and you don't have to clean the pot. It saves a lot on water.

Today I did Hot Bread, great for dinner. You put water in the bottom, and then you put Roman Meal, so you get whole grains. Turn it on in the morning. By dinner time it's really hot and moist. I can get 2 meals of Hot Bread out of 1 loaf. (The second half is breakfast for tomorrow. Work fuel.)

M R Cracker posted:

I figured out today that you can put food and it stays hot, like a heat lamp, so it's good all day. I put Chicken Tenders in it when I got home today and the crock pot keeps it warm all night. You don't have to swallow them all at once to get a hot meal. With the crock pot, you have a warm snack when you want.

Can you put 2 crock pots at once? If I get another I would put mayo in it, and chicken in the other, so I can fill it and have a great meal any time. You wake up at 3am and you need a snack to relax from dreaming, so you grab a hot chicken with good hot dip. It makes your whole life better.
