value-brand cereal posted:They just listened to the latest ep of All This For 10 Dollars and despite MLYP, the host, accepting its tenuous, they have not. To be fair it's an interesting series of dominos but I dint think it's the only reason why history turned out the way it did. Anyways listen to that podcast, it's not run by known pwrmabanned transphobe brain rot haver, guy mann. It's a good podcast if you missed out on major events and goldmine threads and want the summary instead of reading 100 plus page threads. Like if that's your thing. Is this the podcast run by noted freak Guy Mann?

Not so much a single story as a gift that kept on giving, much like herpes, but BFC superstar Zaurg would continually gently caress his life up, both financially and otherwise. He'd ask BFC for advice about what to do, and then either out of undiagnosed oppositional defiant disorder (or shortsighted impulsive thinking) do the opposite, or do the advised thing and then screw it up somehow. I seem to remember there were five threads total, spanning a decade or so. My first memory was Zaurg and his then-wife went to credit counseling or budgeting class or something, and then celebrated by going to Five Guys and getting the works. ("We need to celebrate being austere" or something like that.) The last I remember was Zaurg wondering if he should get ferrets as pets for his kids when he was on the verge of being able to save money each month after downsizing from a giant house to a condo. I followed and unfollowed him over the years, before I permanently lost track of his thread sometime before Covid. I just couldn't keep going back for more. He wasn't going to die like Muerte or molest kids like Aatrek or whatever, he was just somehow destined to keep hitting himself in his financial balls with a claw hammer, and could never really grok that he had to make sacrifices to get out of the hole he was in.

Didn't see either of these posted yet: 1. The annual Snatter Claus stories. I still say Snatter Claus is coming! to this day 2. Droopy or Dropsy(?) the Clown adventure stories. I think spawned a video game at some point. Both of these always had so much effort put into them and were wonderful to read.

One More Fat Nerd posted:Does anyone have the (extremely long) "Get a Divorce, Zaurg" .gif? Completely forgot about that. Zaurg's wife was actively toxic and a spendthrift (she made Z look like the financially responsible one; lots of stories there). So the first thing Zaurg did after getting a divorce was start running and then having sex with women he met at races, so he had far more game (or was a far better liar) then your stereotypical goon. (Actually, the first thing he did after he started running was use scissors to cut a plantar wart off his foot, but I digress.) I vaguely remember that one of his arguments for keeping the oversized house was "what if I want to move my girlfriend in?" but I could be misremembering that. Through the magic of Google:

Zaurg was valuable in that in the early days of his megathreads before his deal was figured out, patient goons would provide detailed & well written summaries of prudent ways to get a financial house in order, and as his threads got more popular they raised awareness of what a fantastic resource BFC can be. Great posters who aren’t trying to scam or sell anything but will patiently explain differences in retirement plans.

I think it was the old "Mod Challenges" that drew me in, and maybe we don't look back too fondly on them today. They just added a touch of consequence and thrill you know, and the consequence if you failed was to not be able to post for a while or on your account anymore and man so many lose their minds about probations to this day. And then there was 14inch and his methhead automotive saga that seemed an incredible series of events being told and documented and I kept F5'ing the threads for whatever came next. Then the worst thing happened, and it happened so abrubtly and any reason was so vague and nondescript I was left feeling a bit snubbed and going "Wait what was the bad thing" but all the threads got locked. We know what happened now, sort off. And the nightmare roommate and bachelor pad threads, those were so unbelievably crazy and revolting and descriptive. Not alot of pictures to document the insanity, but if I ever saw a bathtub filled with actual human poo poo I would simply take a photo while vomiting uncontrollably. Why was there so many stories involving feces! There was ONE photo though of a couch covered in poo poo stains caused by some dude with IBS that would just, plonk down, bare rear end'ed, on this light grey cloth couch. Just incredible.

I also remember a thread that was one of those saga threads, that started with trying to scam a Nigerian scammer or something. I was a lot more gullible then so I don't even remember how real it all was, because it got pretty intense with, I wanna say, someone actually locating and going to the place the scam originated. wesleywillis posted:If she was my step mom, I'd at least think about it while yanking my poo poo. In a way this feels like a kind of performance of what SA was like forever ago, when we were freaks and goons were more often than not a special kind of basement troll with mushrooms growing out of their walls and regular medical emergencies as a part of their biweekly showers like... what was the goon who had weird poo poo (not "poo poo" poo poo, but something that shouldn't be there) falling out of his rear end? I know that's really vague but I cant think of another way to write it. And the origin story/saga behind
