About that lovely "eco-friendly" "forest resort" with its supposed "enchanting luxury" and "soul-driven entrepreneurs"...

What a shitty post to start the day, Althouse
That's useful fertilizer. They should ask that it be credited against their unpaid tax bill.
Musk could buy it up and ship it to Mars. Get a jump start on his potato farm.
Our baby fell out of the window
You'd think that her head would be split
But good luck was with her that morning
She fell in a barrel of shh--aving cream
Be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll always look keen
…if Zoloft mining ever becomes a thing…
The entire Green movement is full of shit.
I am a ShitMan for the county
And I empty the loo
Searchin’ all around
for another barrel of poo
Where’s my coffee?
Just now the Secretary of Treasury (a very smart and accomplished guy) announced that there are talks between the US, Taiwan, Japan and Korea regarding Alaska oil. They invest in the infrastructure and we sell them the product. Trade deficit goes down. Russia hurt. Revenue for US companies. Greens hardest hit.
I fear I’ve just sullied the memory of one of my favorite songs.
China is in deep shit.
You can tell a lot about a man
by the way he styles his hair.
Roll out the barrel...
All these eco-cultists trying to recreate the Garden of Eden.
Their eco-Ponzi schemes always look successful... until they run out of empty barrels to hide their failure.
The green movement, as distinguished from the protecting the environment, personified in two people.
Yeah, @Iman, lol. As soon as I saw the first line I plugged my ears, sang out "la la la", and stopped reading.
158, who wanted the exact count?
Holy crap! Swedes won't like that. Besides the environmental angle, this couple violated all kinds of Svenska social norms. Guatemala seems an odd destination, making me mildly curious.
Sven came home from work early one day and Lena asks, "Sven, you're home from work early. What happened?"
Sven replies, "Vell, I got my ting caught in da pickle slicer."
"Oh no!", says Lena, "Let me see your ting".
So Sven shows her his ting and everyting is fine.
"Sven, your ting is just fine, what happened to da pickle slicer?"
Says Sven, "Oh dey fired her too."
The equivalent of TV-evangelism; making money off the religion.
I heard some middle aged Japanese people beat them up in the pursuit of Infinite Wealth, but then it's an unconfirmed report. Watching the Gaia dream die is going to be a fantastic aftereffect of Liberation Day.
Good News ! If they're in Guatemala, they must have a forwarding address.
Is there reason for keeping barrels of shit? I mean other than the art.
SHe looks normal, but he looks a little wigged out.
"Is there reason for keeping barrels of shit?"
My presumption is that it was to age it. before using it on the veggie plots.
The evidence for that surmise is that the webstore for their eco-retreat is selling merch with the phrase
'Topsoil – it's the shit'
Funny thing about running an inn or a hotel, or running a restaurant properly. It's hard work. It takes know-how gained from years of experience in that work. It takes more than a promise to save the planet.
Treat it as nuclear waste and use it in fast neutron reactors.

That brings to mind "potatoes and Vicodin."
Yah, these eco retreats obsess about footprint. Human’s existence is an invasion and so the impact of their oresence must be obsessively minimized. No ‘permanent’ structures like…septic. Still, they cheat. In the Okavango Delta there were bore holes…
@Iman, it didn't ruin the song for me. I love a good parody, and that was a good one, but Jimmy Webb's writing, Glen Campbell's rendition, and Carol Kate's brilliant bass lines guarantee my love for that song.
At least they left it in barrels. Could have been worse, left in a pit, or dumped in a stream.Thanks, eco-hotel management!
"Is there reason for keeping barrels of sh*t?"
My guess is, they had composing toilets as part of their eco scheme, or some other such nonsense - maybe a zero footprint type thing. It's amazing how far this stupidity progressed in complete defiance of common sense - like ignoring why septic tanks have proven to be so popular for over 100 years, because they're little biological digestion mills.
Yeah, a great tune. Vivid memories of it being played hourly on AM radio.
Liberal Environmentalists are full of shit.
Swedish Meatballs and the Bikini Team are the two great things Sweden has contributed to the world. But these two are the image in my head of European smarmy liberals who are admired and envied by America smarmy liberals.
“We came very far with Stedsans, but we also had to realise on the way that being soul-driven entrepreneurs on a mission in a country where taxes are some of the highest in the world and bureaucracy is relentless, it is an impossible task.”
Environmental liberals get buried by liberals. Sounds like California.
"in a country where taxes are some of the highest in the world and bureaucracy is relentless"
Global wealthy leftist authoritarians (Soros/Gates types) are the same everywhere. Destroy the little guy.
The extremist punitive democrat regime ruining Colorado in every direction... do so because everyone on the left in CO worship abortion. It's now enshrined in our CO constitution - but it's not enough. It's use works nicely to keep everyone on the idiot plantation.
Abortion in Colorado is a distraction that makes it easy for democrats to destroy the business environment with massive punitive taxes, fees and regulations.
Businesses are closing and fleeing.
Colorado is just like California.
"Its use"
Roll out the barrell,
We'll have a barrell of shit,
Roll out the barrell,
We've got a case of the runs.
Thanks, Iman. Tings like that crack me up!
These people always have a certain look about them.
Poop hoarders, you mean? Cause there's this couple in my neighborhood...
The Green.. brown blight.
Are they Greta Thunberg's parents?
They won't get far if they can only go by foot, horse, or sailboat.
Didn't the North Koreans use human poop as fertilizer and end up with parasitic diseases?
One of the Rockefellers was promoting the Clivus Multrum, a (Swedish) composting toilet. It worked (I guess) but you couldn't put water into it (at least for the early models) and you had to be a Rockefeller to afford one. 50 years on and the Clivus still hasn't caught on.
Excuse me, that's "150 barrels of PRECIOUS human excrement..."

150 barrels worth.
If they're standard 55 gallon barrels that's over 8,000 gallons of shit.
At least they kept their shit together.
"Soul driven". That's very creative.

I assumed that was another way of saying "devourer of souls". Like how I"m "chocolate driven".
Sounds like a kakatastrophy
It's a long way from Squatamala to Guatemala.
Here's a report from happier days before the shit hit the fan.
He did not act alone, there was a conspiracy.
