I'd love to find this thread because it's my all time favorite probably:

There's a thread from probably over a decade ago. It was in games and guy posted his lovely RPG game for sale for $10 and the game sucked, the art sucked and the game was poorly programmed and full of bugs. It had like memory leaks and poo poo. I wish I could remember the name of it but it was just an RPG, the only real detail I remember was that it had levels for some reason (like levels like mario, not like an RPG).

It started with people pointing out the problems, then people pointing out you could get the Barkley RPG for free so charging $10 for a broken first time side project was unreasonable, but eventually broke down into outright mockery. It was just page after page of people dunking on the guy, editing together trailers for the game, photoshops etc. and it went on forever.

This thread is like a white whale for me, I think it got goldmined but I'm not sure, I've looked for it like a motherfucker on several occassions.

I keep hearing people say how great the chicken cheese thread is but can someone explain it to me since it's before my time? It just looks like a bunch of goons putting cheese on chicken dishes which doesn't seem too odd. What is so funny about it? Does something crazy happen halfway through the thread or something?

Unfortunately this goes for most classic SA threads and old SA humor in general. If you weren’t there it’s not especially funny, especially in retrospect. Try telling a non goon about chickencheese or microwave’s mom and see if they laugh.

At least with keyboard goop or groverhaus or the doom bathroom something real happened besides goons just being awkward nerds.

Yeah but its slurry coefficient approached 1 and tequila wasn't widely available at the time so it was more like a mezcal snowcone than what we think of as a modern margarita. Still, for the time it's amazing to think a whole party could get something like margs before the wide adoption of electricity.

I miss margarita machine threads too. :(

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN AN EXCITING BUISNESS OPPROTUNITY?
I've been thinking about this thread for a while but don't have archives access to go looking for it.

There was a guy here who got hired by his brother to exterminate the wild hogs on his property. He got bored with guns and started spear hunting them barefoot at night. I think he would go out with night vision goggles and record himself stalking and killing them, and he spelt OINK out with their bodies. Pretty sick gently caress.

At some point, he built a surveillance drone with infrared cameras to track them, and eventually mounted a handgun to it and used it to hunt them down. Pretty sure the FBI contacted him. This was before the use of drones in iraq and afghanistan was widely reported.

There was a thread called something like "metal.com" like the type program, not the website. It was a program that would randomly generate a metal phrase and then people would ms paint it. I think the first post started with "a nose breaking a tombstone above a thousand bodies" or something along those lines.

I bet it doesn't hold up now, I think it was even pre-irony.

Yesterday sunny Orlando Florida got a little sunnier.

Amanda Bynes is in town. You might remember her from nickelodean's Amanda show, What a Girl Wants, or She's the Man. She's shooting a movie on the UCF campus right accross the street from where I live.

http://www.amandabynes.com/WB5.jpg

Now, you must understand, I'm not a man given to celebrity crushed. I have no posters of some scantily clad chicks in my room, I never watch lame movies just for the hot babes, but Amanda Bynes is something else.

She makes my head swim, my knees get weak, and my heart and stomach plays musical chairs with my ribcage. She's so beautiful, charming and funny, with that little bit of devious mischeif to make it interesting. Since I was 13 I've pined for her. I watched every episode of that horrible "what I like about you" show

Naturally, since her trailer is basically in eyesight of my apartment I have determined to find a way to meet her. But what would I do if I met her? Tell her I'm a huge fan, and then let the next person in line go? Get a side-hug, a quick polaroid, and then move on?

No, I want a kiss. Not, nessecarily a date or anything, just a kiss of some sort. It would be the perfect little memory to hold without destroying my delusions of what an amazing person this Amanda Bynes is or landing myself in jail

So, goons, how do I do it?

How does a fairly average guy land a kiss from Amanda Bynes?

I'm open to almost any suggestion that won't land me in prison, and of course I'll photograph and document the ensuing events... Let the games begin.
