mongoose murder, a fatal zipline and suicide by san francisco area park: a compendium of internet failure

I reached into my shoulder quiver, produced a dysentery-tipped arrow, and fired it straight between the boar's eyes, missing its brain by mere microns. I wiped the yeast from my hands on its piss-soaked fur and began to harvest what could stand between another night of survival and a slow death. Upon removing the boar's eye I was reminded of my baseball career, and a sudden rush of emotion, dirt, leaves, rat teeth, worms, katydids, nails, gauze bits, nickel ore, mealworms, etc. began to surge forth from my ass. My teak flooring began to whir with the sound of midnight pests. My diseased guts twisted into knots.

Then I heard the bees.

This is pretty amazing stuff; glad i took your advice and paged through to find details like

Oh, man, that Twitter thread about the dude's house.

recessed lighting on an angled ceiling, beaming directly into the room. absolutely phenomenal. the longer i look, the better these pics get

i think the groverhaus thread might somehow have led me to the stories i posted originally, i forget, but yeah that's one for the annals of internet idiocy too

the thing that still baffles me about groverhaus and samadhi village is just how these staggeringly idiotic people managed to get their hands on the money required to build a slipshod dreamhouse or buy land on hawaii in the first place

like, even if they were born into affluence i find it hard to imagine that they wouldn't have exchanged their fortunes for the chance to buy three magic beans or something

yeah what makes the unfolding of samadhi village so great is the detective work on exactly what kind of terribly dumb failed internet businesses this guy was able to spin into the (literal) gold that he was now squandering on a long-term project of succumbing to parasites and self-inflicted machete wounds

smash capitalism: the samadhi village story

Also, I'm covered in yeast right now (fun).

samadhi village guy watched Into the Wild and thought, "How tragic. If only McCandless had just kept all of that money and thought to bring some victims."

WE HAVE RESPECT FOR THE LAND WE LOVE MOTHER NATURE!!! *ties pig to chair, cuts off its ear with razor to the tune of Stuck In the Middle With You*

Oh... my... God...

This thread has totally made my day. Bravo, ILX.

all the backstory about yoga village guy's shonky websites and tea party shite & gold/economy definitely adds layers of color to the crazy story

tbh yoga is the least-believable aspect of the story by the time you're done reading the thread

Fellow Hawaii goons, if you think you have the flu it's probably another actual disease because you're some retard who lives in the jungle for no reason. "Bee" aware (theres lots of bees and ants in your bed probably)

can we not repaste the r-word, please?

oops sorry. it was the bee joke that I really liked anyway. If a mod wants to edit that out it's fine by me

appreciate you saying so, thanks.

Do archives of these exist?

You could pay for archives access at Something Awful and dig up the originals I guess
