The truth is that SA was never funny. I thought the forums in the early days had good Photoshops but that was it. Zack Parsons is as bad of a writer then as he is now. That’s why his writing career never took off despite several attempts. Water finds its level eventually.

I did read his "Your Next Door Neighbor is a Dragon" book which I thought was a pretty good snapshot of web culture in 2007/2008.

It's ironic that SA used to give shit to furries and otherkin only to be taken over themselves by some weirdo online cult.
 
Somebody deemed that book worthy of review on some back corner of NPR;s website. Here is the link and archive.

I swear I remember hearing about that book coming out at least 6 mos to a year ago.

I wish I could find the thread but the author actually showed up at one point on SA and was mocked like crazy for the book. If I remember correctly he actually changed the title a little bit cause of how much GBS was dunking on him
 
I doubt this is the full story. The prescription medication most likely had something to do with this user's cardiovascular system which could potentially kill him if he continues to use them while being obese enough that the doctor sees it as a problem. Doctors will do this for any patient with a condition which alters their physiology, like being pregnant. Because this user is stupid, he interprets this as the doctor "holding the medication hostage." Or he has an addiction to some prescription medication, like Xanax, and the doctor attributes the dependency on psychological issues stemming from their obesity. Actually, I can envision that too--the doctor most likely offered to refer them to a physical trainer or therapist, and the user interpreted that as the doctor holding their prescription as a "bartering tool" to get help.

The fact that this user is noticeably indignant about this (to the point of filing a complaint via one of his buddies who apparently works in the same department as the doctor) and with how vague he's being suggests to me that his issue stems more from an addiction to whatever prescription drug he wants, rather than an actual need for it. If he actually needed the medication to survive, he would unquestionably give its name for extra pity points. The only reason he would hide it is because it would show the doctor had an actual reason for denying the prescription. While there is a possibility that he's hiding the name of the medication because it's embarrassing, I'd say we're beyond him embarrassing himself when he openly admits to being obese. There's no doubt that this user is extremely manipulative as well, judging by their actions.

Do you have a link to this? I'd like to see if he follows up this post.

Anyone else notice @Lowtax signed in here back in May after last being seen in January 2017?

Didn't post anything, but something made him log back in for at least a bit.

He is exactly the kind of person to check in here and also Google his own name while also pretending that he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him.


You won't keep giving me benzos (which I am addicted to) because I am morbidly obese and might stop breathing in my sleep? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
But they aren't attempts at jokes, a joke is a story with a funny twist or a clever play on words.

Random snippets of grotesque imagery thrown together in no particular order isn't humor. You can rearrange the first and seconds parts of those "jokes" with any of the others and the effect will be the same.

"If the gibbering outer darkness closes in around you and the only light you have left is a butane powered by your own chitlin farts...you might be a redneck."

Literally anyone could write that stuff.

If goons saw the shit that Zack used to put on the front page, they'd unperson him in a heartbeat. Around the time of Hurricane Katrina, he posted a DuckTales-themed article on hurricane survival where "Beagle Boys" were a stand-in for niggers rioting and looting everything.
