I'm pretty sure it was the episode where he committed tax fraud and ran away to Alaska to live in the wilderness for 7 months and lived off of squirrels. It is where he discovered how to paint due to the agonizing loneliness he experienced while isolated from society. Now he takes care or squirrels as a way to pay his karma back to all the squirrels he had to kill to eat.

It's all in his book.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Here is the summary from Wikipedia:




In a world of happy little trees and serene landscapes, Bob Ross found himself entangled in a financial thicket. Accused of tax fraud, he made the bold decision to escape to the untouched wilderness of Alaska. For seven months, he lived off the grid, surrounded by nature's beauty and a chorus of chirping squirrels.

Bob, armed with his trusty paintbrushes and a mantra to justify his survival, would mutter, "Normally they say you can't go wrong with right, but not this time." It became his mantra, a reminder that sometimes one must embrace the unconventional to find their way.

Loneliness settled in like an uninvited guest, and as the squirrels frolicked in the vast Alaskan wilderness, Bob had to confront the harsh reality of survival. Each stroke of his brush on the canvas mirrored the struggles he faced – a reflection of both the external world and his internal turmoil.

As the days turned into weeks, Bob's connection with nature deepened. The squirrels, once his playful companions, became his source of sustenance. The internal conflict was palpable, yet he found solace in the notion that he was a part of the circle of life. "Normally they say you can't go wrong with right, but not this time," he would repeat, a mantra that echoed through the vast, silent landscape.

In the solitude of Alaska, Bob discovered more than just a means of survival. He found himself in the stillness of the wilderness, in the dance of colors on his canvas, and in the resilience of nature. The loneliness that initially weighed heavy on his heart transformed into inspiration.

With every stroke, he painted the essence of his journey – the struggle, the solitude, and the acceptance of the unconventional path he had chosen. Bob's Alaskan odyssey became a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a story told on canvas that transcended the boundaries of time and space.

As the seven months came to an end, Bob emerged from the wilderness, not just as a painter but as a man who had faced the shadows within himself. The accusations of tax fraud were but distant echoes in the vastness of the Alaskan landscape. And though he had survived on the squirrels of the wild, he left with a renewed sense of connection to the world and a palette of colors that told a story of self-discovery and redemption.

I guess this is all he said about it in an interview


"In an interview about his unconventional dining experience, Bob calmly remarked, "You know, these little critters may not be on my palette, but in the wild, they bring their own flavor to the canvas of survival. It's all about embracing the happy little accidents nature throws your way." With a twinkle in his eye, he added, "Happy little squirrels, doing their part in the grand masterpiece of life."

conservatives are just the most vocal.  the platform is effectively based on hating other working-class people so its easy to sit in a truck and summarize your whole political stance in 100 words or less.

thoughtful ideology isnt so easily expressed and theres a recurring theme of social media not being the best venue to express opinions so you wont often hear a mouthful from members like myself or B traven for example.  we're here though..




US politics are obviously very different from EU politics, but we got our fair share of populists shouting hateful ideology based in untruths that appeal to the lowest commen denominator as well. Every year we are losing more and more rights that we fought hard for the previous decades. If I see someone regurgitating bullshit like that I will always e quick to call it out.




Many in Britain seem to think our government is conservative, or right wing, because that's what the conservatives are on paper. But they ain't conserving anything!
My own sister "Jenifer" (who works for the council) would be fired from her job if she refused to specify her own sex/pronouns!
Like her name "Jenifer" (or the fact she is clearly a woman) isn't enough of a clue!
This utter madness has all happened on the watch of a 'right wing/conservative' government, that has made only token efforts to oppose the insanity! 

The opinion I am expressing here may be 'far right' or 'hateful' today but was simple common sense (or rather sanity) when I was growing up!

In Britain coming up, we learned only really of Nazism and the dangers posed by the far right.

Far leftism/communism/Marxism however was always more vague and unexplained!

How far-left is the Shroomery?

Head off over to politics and find out!




I just never even cared about that stuff cause it's overshadowed by caring about shit that actually matters

I stumbled upon a Bob Ross livestream on youtube recently and it just showed his episodes... it was super nice.  Really calmed me down and made me appreciate the sound of the brush on the canvas. 
It reminded me of when I used to go to speech therapy in school and there was this one woman who I talked to and she always ended our meetings with her writing down stuff with pen on paper... and IDK what kind of pen she used, but it was soooo relaxing to hear her write... almost like euphoric.

As it should be. I feel like every thread should end with talking about Bob Ross being our universally agreed upon father.

False. The average was thrown off because most died in childbirth or soon after. But a few lucky people lived to 350+

Shroomery is secretly an antifa training ground for the cia lizards.  Its basically mkultra all over again.

Anyone who disagrees is committing a thought crime lol

I think politics is all a hoax and people should rise up and come up with a plan to stop our problems without sucking govt boots.  Police are useless and need to be dealt with.  Why we arent "allowed" to defend ourselves from mobsters anymore is just part of a proxy attack so I hate both sides.  Vote with your fists guns and knives and molitav cocktails.  Im not saying dont vote either.  I just wish more people would put their money where their mouth is, instead of playing twitter all day.
