sa had some gems mixed in with the insanity. the fun was that it was basically a crapshoot of which was which
 
That was really great but the pantsshitter Jones Town that was the Hawaii Yoga Retreat is hard to beat. It's long but there was some gold in there. One of my favorites.
I can see clearly now the gators gone

Also remember the goon that was going to walk across america but basically crashed and burned on the first trail he started on. Then a goon checked out that trail and ate a burrito.

The yoga retreat story definitely needs a good writeup.

Was is the one who bought some really unsuitable cart to haul his equipment, which broke down almost as soon as he started and so he gave up?
I think it was like some baby stroller for use in a city.

Edit, got this saved as "muerte" so I guess that's the guy I meant, and it was a shopping cart not baby stroller

Apparently this was the pitch:


Alrighty, based upon the strong desire of some people to come help and the fact that I need it, I'm going to offer the following:

A. The first two people who are willing to come help will be paid $500.00 per month at the rate of $125.00 per week.

B. Food or a food stipend will be provided.

C. I will provide a place to stay, but it may not be all that nice. I do guarantee you won't get rained on and you'll be protected from mosquitoes. Beyond that, I'm not sure yet. It will not be a little tent on the land though, don't worry.

D. YOU must pay your airfare. I can pick you up at the airport (Hilo would be preferred, but Kona is acceptable if it's a lot cheaper/easier for you).

E. I will ask you to sign a liability waiver since this is dangerous work.

F. I will ask that you work 5 days a week, for an average of about 6 hours per day. What I mean by that is some days maybe 4 hours, some days 8 hours depending on how we feel and what we're doing. The other two days you're welcome to do whatever you want.

G. I would prefer that you stay for at least 2 weeks, I'm open to max duration.

H. You may or may not have internet access. I'm not sure. I use mobile broadband.

Things to keep in mind:

a. Your romantic thoughts about Hawaii and working in the rainforest are probably wrong.

b. This is HARD work.

c. If you don't like rain, don't come. Because we will work in it otherwise we'll never be working.

d. There are bugs. Lots. They don't bother me, but they may bother you.

e. You will get hurt. Hopefully this is only a branch to the face or some minor cuts. But I promise you, you will get hurt. Probably every day.

f. I will NOT pay anyone in the future. So if you really want to do this but think you'll wait for another time when I pay, you're going to be out of luck. Seize the day.

g. Initial work is going to be exploring the land and cutting trails. We'll also be doing a lot of brainstorming, research, and planning.

If you're still interested after reading all of the above, please email me at david@yogatopia.org or PM me answers to the following:

1. Why do you want to fly to some actively volcanic speck in the middle of the pacific and help some guy you've never met?

2. Do you have any special skills or knowledge that may be beneficial to this project?

3. Any health issues, allergies, or disabilities I should know about?

4. When would you be available to arrive? And how long would you anticipate staying?

5. Do you have rubber boots, rain gear, cold weather gear (it can get cold here at night) and warm tropic gear?

6. Anything you want to add?

I'll accept applications until I choose two people. Thanks

No. I was one of those baby things for bicycles that have two big back wheels but a attachable little front wheel for when its not hooked up

like this

The front wheel snapped.

A goon whom I assume is banned now rightfully pointed out that the dude was mental Fuck I think he admitted to being mentally ill or on schizo meds.

Anyway a goon pointed out that the dude was just in a manic state and as soon as he didnt have his little cart adversting his walk across the country he just stopped.
 
look at this

Fuckers will tie themselves in fucking knots, about calling women ugly, dont say retard, dont call chinese people nongs or north korean norks.

But a fucking sucide is a joke
 
Johnny Five Acres in Zybourne Drop

If you were there for a specific time, Rich went "hey, if it gets me 10bux" when it came to copyright rules and regulations. There were boards for sharing TV shows (Mostly poor quality DivX), music, porn, and I think ADTRW even allowed animu for awhile. Then everything was privated and/or removed. Lots of butthurt over newbie accounts, as usual.

I don't think it was long after the callout from this and the perpetual lameness of GBS, he retired to FYAD and a pill bottle.

Lemme peep that chicken cheese!
 
It's about Musk using this as a PR opportunity to proclaim the Cybertruck is great at stopping bombs (wtf), and his bootlickers talking about how awesome it looked.

I mean, what better ad for the Cybertruck is there than the fact that it's so sturdy that rigging it to explode in a terrorist attack won't even cause significant collateral damage because it all stays in the car?

It appears to have been a flashy suicide, not a terrorist attack. It was not rigged to cause the greatest amount of damage.

Seven people were still injured, so it did not all stay in the car... but the driver certainly did. Primarily due to having been shot in the head, but also the car made sure to auto-lock the doors.

People keep dying in Teslas that way.

If it had been a serious explosive, not some camping fuel and fireworks, the Cybertruck would just make for a big-ass pipe bomb. It wouldn't contain shit.

Plus, if the explosives had been inside the truck rather than on the truck bed, the batteries would have caught fire, too.

Also, lmao:

Luigi would shoot those abusing their power, aka the mods. This would like a forum run by blacks having a KKK hood for the report button.

From what I remember.
A ferret or something was being a Bugs Bunny style annoyance. They manage to trap it and decide to put it down. Their weapon of choice: a BB gun. Poor critter, they had to shoot it so many, many times before it finally died.
As part of the clear cutting they had to uproot trees and pull out stumps. They got some tractor-like machine for that. After a hard day of work they chained the tree remover to a tree so it wouldn't get stolen. The local meth heads just rode away on it in the middle of the night.
They had no way to properly clean themselves and they slept in a rain forest. The heat and humidity made yeast grow all over their skin so everyone smelled like bread. The part that makes this so funny was that among the future cult members volunteers there was a married couple and the goon couldn't sleep at night because the aroma of his sourdough princess made him mad hungry.
And their water supply was a small kiddie pool of stagnant (rain?) water that wild animals frequented.

There were many other things that I don't remember, it was a really funny thread and none of it was intentional. Just goons doing goon shit and failing in ways you couldn't even imagine.[/sneed]
