@John Price, a notorious poster on HFBoards’ infamous “Useless Thread,” lived for chaos. Known for his snarky wit, relentless trolling, and peculiar habit of attaching pictures of plushies to his posts, John had cultivated an online persona both reviled and beloved. Among his eclectic hobbies was a deep, unapologetic love for collecting plushies, a fact that baffled many in his online circle but endeared him to a small, devoted following.
One evening, John stumbled upon a viral thread about Zack Hample, the prolific baseball collector infamous for snagging foul balls and home runs at MLB games. The post was ablaze with memes mocking Zack's antics, but what caught John’s attention wasn’t the ridicule—it was a photo of Zack holding a baseball plushie.
“Finally, someone who gets it,” John muttered, cracking his knuckles as he began crafting a reply. His post was a perfect blend of biting sarcasm and genuine admiration, signing off with a photo of his latest acquisition: a giant, smiling plushie shaped like a hot dog.
To John’s surprise, Zack Hample himself replied.
“Nice plush! I’ve got one of those too—part of my stadium giveaway collection!” Zack wrote, adding a photo of the same hot dog plush sitting atop a mountain of baseballs.
Intrigued, John decided to take the conversation to private messages. What started as a casual exchange about plushies quickly spiraled into a whirlwind of shared interests. Zack revealed that he, too, had a penchant for posting ironic, over-the-top comments on forums and social media. Though his reputation online was mixed, he admitted to enjoying the absurdity of it all.
“You’re telling me you troll people?” John asked skeptically.
“I don’t troll, per se. I... ‘stir the pot,’” Zack replied with a winking emoji.
The two quickly bonded over their love of trolling and plushies, sharing their favorite finds and dissecting the art of a perfect shitpost. Zack introduced John to his collection of limited-edition mascot plushies from MLB teams, while John countered with his eclectic mix of anime plushies and bizarre thrift store finds.
One day, Zack invited John to join him at a baseball game. Initially reluctant—John wasn’t exactly a sports guy—he agreed when Zack sweetened the deal by promising a plushie exchange.
At the game, Zack was in his element, darting between sections and charming ushers for the best spots to snag a foul ball. Meanwhile, John, wearing a shirt emblazoned with “Thread MVP,” took notes on Zack’s ability to blend genuine enthusiasm with calculated antics. The highlight of the evening came when Zack caught a home run ball, handed it to a nearby kid for good PR, and then pulled a tiny, custom plush baseball from his bag to give to John.
“Consider this the start of our collection,” Zack said.
From that day forward, John and Zack became inseparable, a duo united by their shared love for the absurd. Together, they hosted livestreams where they unboxed plushies, dissected internet drama, and coached viewers on the fine art of shitposting. Their antics turned them into unlikely internet legends, proving that even the most chaotic corners of the web could foster genuine friendship.
In the end, they agreed on one thing: life was better when you didn’t take it too seriously—and when you always had a plushie in hand.

What a surprise, zero sense of irony from the guy that posts his plushie collection regularly.
He's obviously posing for a photo for a media story.
Where has your picture been featured, other than the wall at Build a Bear, where it reads "Don't let this man take plushies into the bathroom"
