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

Posting because Sid bullied me. This is something I've been thinking about recently....

The origin of "goons" as the collective term for SA members goes back a long time, like 2004, 2005?. Per the Saclopedia:


IIRC, the actual context was something like "you and your goons," or "Lowtax and his goons" or something like that. The implication is a "goon" is specifically a lackey of Lowtax, someone working his nefarious intent. Funny at the time, no so funny now.

I think most of us would prefer a collective term that doesn't have the implied allegiance to lowtax. What do you think would be better? I have some bad ideas:

Awfuls
Awfulites
SAPs - Something Awful Posters
The Chosen Ones

There, Sid, I de-lurked. Happy now?

probably the best course of action, there doesn't seem to be much impetus to change.

Future netizens will tell tales of the Noble Goons who steadfastly held the line against internet stupidity. "Were you a Goon, daddy?" "Why yes, son, I was shitposting in GBS during the Tik-tok Wars of 2021....those were the days...."

I think we're the goons of the house of yospos now.

While we're talking about changing things names, I say we redo The Toxic Waste Dump. It's lame and also insensitive to those of us who are trying to get a leg up on the apocalypse by living in a toxic waste dump. I have some proposals for a better name, The poo poo Pit, The Turd Cemetery or perhaps A Reverse Butthole That Eats Poops.
