So, Ben Lesnick, the developer working on Star Citizen (and it's public face) tweeted the link to his personal website the other day.

https://twitter.com/banditloaf/status/721130582361505793

At first, goons were like: "Ha ha, some funny food quotes for a fat dude."

From the Journal of Ben Lesnick:

quote:

A new H&R Block opened downstairs and they dropped a box of Dunkin Donuts donut holes off at my desk to advertise. I'm slowly eating them all. They have an odd taste... a brown powdered sugar on the outside, but with an unusual level of crunch when you bite into them.

I'm going to try walking to the grocery store at lunch; what treasures will I find? What mysteries will I unlock? Maybe a new kind of Oreo?

They have invented a new kind of Snickers that has caffeine in it. I recently tried the Mint Three Muskateers and wass *immensely* disappointed. Way to spring dark chocolate on me, jerks.

I'm going to get a weekend where I can just sit in my chair with a bottle of Scotch and some M&Ms for two days.

They sell giant chipwhiches across the street and they're incredibly expensive.

It's Valentine's Day at work and there's candy and cupcakes and stuff everywhere. Free food is one of the great benefits of working for a school system


But then people started looking at the other jokes on his website:





Literally HUNDREDS of images of this woman.




quote:

-Anyway, it turns out my mom taped the news for me while I was away, so I have like a week of Kerri-Lee to go through... #13,502

-Oh, I followed several women who looked sort of like Kerri-Lee around the science museum, but none of them turned out to be her:~( #13,846

-And with my position as Kerri-Lee of the CIC, cool knife AND uniform, I'll be the cult leader! #14,539

-As in "Over the Kerri-lee for the traffic, she's got great breasts.." #15,608

-What good is the world when I've no Kerri-Lee:~(? Of course, if I took over the world, I could have all the Kerri-Lee I wanted. The world it is, then, chaps. #17,284

-Wow, Kerri-Lee at the hardware store. I'd like to ware her... hard #19,478

-I have two pictures in frames on my desk at work: a picture of a spotted stingray marked 'Cat' and a printed glossy picture of Kerri-Lee. #20,382

<Byydo> some guys try to un-circumsize themselves by hanging weights from their penis
<LOAF> !Kerri-Lee
<LOAF> The concept of something hanging from my penis reminded me. #21,608

Needless to say many goons thought it was hilarious and we pressed on.

"There's always more. It's always worse."

The website contained a detailed list of what Ben says are his funny jokes, that are "still pretty funny". Literally thousands of Ben's sayings. Here's a SMALL taste:

quote:

I want to bang Misty. #17,033

I want to catch all the Pokemon fish, so Misty will notice me. "Oh, my", she'll say, "your Waillord is so big." Then, with the help of the glass-making guy, I'll give her my pink rod. #21,635

This is Misty.



She's 9

quote:

And they get to have sex with thirteen year olds all the time. Instead of once or twice a month. #21,244

Why don't you come with me, little girl, on a magic carpet ride? #18,734

Wow, Hades, do you try to pursue homosexual relations with children age 8-13 too? #7,673

Children have nudity... #9,621

Legions of children worldwide are having sex with 40 year old men. #14,178

It's funny, oh, you need the e-mail he sent me when I revealed that he posted to alt.sex.children #14,747

On the same day he posted a message to alt.sex.children commenting that a previously posted story "got me hotter than hell, post some more man!!!" #14,726

But wait! There's more!

quote:

Poor Old friend of the family Thinks It's A Cadillac. #17,627

I would have been back earlier, but I got jewed in CounterStrike, friend of the family. #21,860

I had a dream that I was giving a speech in speech class and I ended up saying something really racist, and then to cover for it I claimed it was because I secretly wished I was black. I really shouldn't do any public speaking ever. #21,601

A black guy who can't find crack? I think not. #21,603

I don't hate anyone. Except those gull durned black people. #13,857

You know what they don't have here in college? Black people. #18,464

There are absolutely no black people here. #18,465

And you call black people cute names like dawg. Well, not as cute as that, generally more very very offensive. #19,678

And it goes on, always more, always worse.

We Star Citizen goons didn't think we should have all the fun of reading these hilarious jokes. You can find your own here: http://trelane.hamtwoslices.net/index.php?query=lowtax

Just replace the search word "LOWTAX" with any word you like and you will get numerous hilarious jokes written by our very own Ben Lesnick.

Please post the best ones you can find!

P.S. Here's pic Ben gave us!




*edit* I was reminded to add that he was working for a school system during this time.

**edit** Ben made a statement about his website: http://banditloaf.livejournal.com/105991.html Because you know we all went through a racist pedophile stage in our mid-20's.

***Edit*** Uh oh. Ben is erasing stuff from his website! Good thing his stalker stuff was saved here: http://web.archive.org/web/20150314145920/http://www.hamtwoslices.net/kerri-lee/

****Edit**** Some good goon actually checked out some of what Ben said in his statement and found it to be false.

This wasn't a doxing, or a hack, or some smear campaign. The idiot posted this on his twitter proudly. I mean Goddamn, when he found it was still up he should have trashed the site and pretended this poo poo never happened.

You get the prize. That's the funniest thing about it.

a hole-y ghost posted:

is that true? why isn't he banned yet?

Although many think it's true. Here's an analysis by one of our brave goon commandos:

Scruffpuff posted:

CIG has a number of accounts here, all registered in the past few months, that they rotate among certain staff members for monitoring purposes. Whenever something really bad gets uncovered here, CIG determines whether or not to burn one of those accounts to attempt to derail the thread. Most things, like DonutGate, are handled internally (editing the video, tossing in a backhanded reference on the next stream, etc.) Some things, like Ben-Ghazi, in their minds require a derail. The rules about what is and is not allowed to be posted are very specific.

Allowed: personal attacks on Derek Smart, general proclamations against CIG approved for purposes of "fitting in" i.e. "SC is a scam, there are problems with management, I don't like space games, I wouldn't give them a dime" etc.
Disallowed: personal attacks on Chris or Sandi, focus on specific acts of mismanagement by CIG (fraudulent refund denials, closing accounts with a $15 extortion fee)

They don't like to burn the accounts because the newly registered ones will have a more recent date, and lose some credibility during a derail. Posts have to be approved, and so on. It's a bit of a pain in the rear end, so you can see just how seriously they take it that they chose to burn one on this topic. Ben was always an embarrassment to CIG, but this takes it to a whole new level.

To be honest these do look kinda bad at least without knowing the context in which they were made. It's a tough decision but RSI and Chris will probably have to let Ben go because of this, doing otherwise may cause damage to the image of Star Citizen and to it's development.

I don't think context really matters when there's literally hundred (thousands?) of these rape/racist/stalker/pedaphilic/mysoginistic/etc quotes over the course of his adulthood.

I mean, we've all said some dumb things, but that much? And to save it all? And then brag about it?

Nah, "context" isn't going to save this.

quote:

The Kerri-Lee Hackett photos were a running gag in 1999. I was a senior in high school and met her when she showed up to interview folks about a school shooting scare. I went home and dreamily told all my internet buddies I was in love and they teased me forever. One of them wrote a script for my ATI All-in-Wonder TV card that’d grab her picture during the traffic report and add it to a gallery. I recall it didn’t last too long, as she moved to another station around when I graduated. (I met her again in line for Phantom Menace and actually talked about this, which I’m sure was super creepy for her! If you can find this video, it me be the worst thing you can see me do.) I am going to kill that now—not because I don’t want people to know it existed (Ben liked GIRLS?!), but because she’s certainly a real person who doesn’t need old TV news photos spread around the internet. If you’re out there, Ms, Hackett, I’m sorry I was a weirdo! (I am still a weirdo, but I have a bit more respect for other people now!)
