So I was wondering about Farmer Joe, recently. I started to look over my old shit, and wrote a bit of it recently... but I was wondering. 

Should I make it full-blown madness? Like a path where you get sucked into the Internet, eaten by mutants, etc. 

Or should I keep going with what I have? I'm curious as to what y'all think. 

It's your story.  You can do whatever you feel like.

However, you shouldn't throw away everything.  I feel that if you suddenly have all this random stuff, it may ruin the game.

Then again, being eaten by mutants sound cool...

You already got furry half human hybrids running around, you're already pretty far from realism.

Unless you're already bored of the original premise I'd say try to stay focused on Farmer Joe combating the furries since you'll actually complete the story if aren't changing things every other week.

But you could still have other weird shit happening on different paths like him enlisting the help of aliens that were stealing his neighbor's cattle until the furries started raping all the cows and fucking up the control group for their experiments.

This premise alone almost made me spit my coffee all over the keyboard in a fit of hysteria.

That makes me bizarrely proud. 

As far as actual advice goes, I agree that you should try and stick with your main concept over full blown anarchic randomness. I'm sure you can conjure funny events that still fall in line with your overarching theme.

There could be a total LOLRANDOM path, if that's what pushes your typey squares, but, if I were you, I'd make it insanely difficult to find. You see, humor is best when it's structured... Although, who am I kidding, LOLRANDOM has been the only thing I've ever published. Don't follow me down this dark path, you'll never get higher than 6.

Dude, just stick with what you got going. Don't deviate too much.

What would be hilarious, though, is if at a certain point, the coyote god from GOLAD shows up to offer Joe guidance and Joe takes a few potshots at him. Or even better, if Joe kills the coyote god, skins him, and gives his pelt to his treehugger daughter to cover up her "indecent midsection".
