...But I could hardly wait six months with a red hot jape like that under me belt.

So what happens to stuff that will one day be lost to the ether?

I mean in 15 years time people will be making internet necromancy threads looking for things like http://www.27bslash6.com/ or that stupid hamster dance thing. How does one preemptively necromance that which still lives?

JET FUEL CAN'T MELT SEALED BEAMS
In 2005, there was a music video (Pakistani?) that featured a thin young man singing in the hills before shooting what appeared to be a pregnant witch. I believe it was called "The Curse Part 1" and distinctly remember most of the lyrics consisting of "the curse, the curse, I fought the curse" until he Glocked that knocked-up sorceress.

I ran across it on SA, but aside from this enlightening exchange, I've seen nothing of this poo poo song in years. Any clues?

This is probably a longshot but on youtube a couple years ago there was a video called "doug doin doug stuff". In it some guys sneak into their friend's house in the middle of the night and go upstairs and catch a glimpse with their camera of the guy (presumably Doug) having sex with his girlfriend (it's not explicit). He notices them and they run downstairs. The video then cuts to Doug coming downstairs to talk to his friends in his living room. He says some stuff like "You guys fuckin' happy? My girlfriend? She's fuckin' cryin'! You wanna see the dance? Huh? Here's the fuckin' dance! gently caress you guys!" and does this funny dance before storming off. I can't find it on youtube anymore, if anyone else knows another place I can see it I'd be eternally grateful.

I am looking for an animated video, circa 2000 perhaps?

It was done in the style of a Mickey Mouse animation from the '30s but had frogs (I think) that end up murdering and raping each other.

It was fantastic.

A few years ago I read a sort of proto-blog of a convicted paedophile in the UK. It basically tells his story of being arrested on Child Pornography charges and how his life fell apart, wife left him, kids, etc.

One thing I remember him saying is he would take pictures of young girl and draw knives into them because he got off on the idea of little girls being subverted.

Does anyone know what I mean?

Nice title.
I had a song pop into my head recently, and I can't for the life of me remember who it's by or it's title. I know it was by someone who posted at least two of their albums here, and I know one of the lyrics was "you've got fire in your veins". I remember liking some of the other songs from the same album, but I can't remember any of the other lyrics to anything. Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about?

EDIT: I might be completely making this up, but I want to say the name of this song or another song by the same person was something like "Confidence Drop".

I'm looking for this one flash game. I think it was in a series of three or four. Anyways, you could click various objects and interact with them. To complete it, you had to click them in a certain order and sometimes you have to time it right. I remember it having a hand-drawn aesthetic and that one of them took place in a jungle/rainforest.

I remember everything being on one screen, so you didn't have to scroll anywhere.

There was a video of some ridiculous Japanese horror/action game (PS2 I think?), it was the ending cutscene with death metal playing in the background as the main character gets his sword and starts brutally hacking away at all these zombies. I think it was originally called "most badass game ending ever" or something, I can't find it anymore though. The music did made it pretty awesome.

I know that Siren: Blood Curse on the PS3 has that ending, but I think maybe one of the PS2 Sirens may have done that as well?

I don't think that's it. I remember that the first game had a grassy hill and a small building on the right side, with power lines running from that building to a larger building with a pool if water near the bottom. I think at one point, you trigger something to make a bird fly away and you needed to click on this creature in the ground to jump up and eat it. You could also click on the clouds and they would release a greenish gas.

I think the game also had little stick men that would pull levers/interact with the environment depending on what's around them.

Edit: the name is one word, I'd like to say it starts with an I or T.

I'm looking for the first album made by "tanner4105". He released a free album on the forums called "Bad Apollo - I'm Burning Fart IV - volume two: no butts for lmao". It was apparently his second album, and he had released something else along those lines prior to this album. It's amazing mashup insanity, and I wish he had kept releasing stuff.

Did he? I have no idea.

Edit: His current username is felipebacon and his album ruled. Sadly, he has no PMs or email written on his profile, so I cannot tell him this fact.

I'm looking for a website that this guy set up that tracks everything he does and where he is. I think he even posts pictures of receipts and stuff. He set it up because some law enforcement agency was investigating him cause they thought he was a terrorist or some poo poo like that.

I believe it was set up in the mid-2000s (somewhere around 2005-2007 I would guess). He may have been featured on BoingBoing or Rocketboom since I used to visit those sites a lot at that time.

I read a sci-fi story about a year or two ago on the web. I think it was on the blog of the author. He (She?) posted it in about 3 or 4 installments and the final ending was only written because someone guessed it in the comments (if nobody guessed it he wouldn't have written more). It was about people finding two races at about the same time, one less advanced and one more advanced. The more advanced one had problems with the human race's morality and wanted to solve the problem by.... genetically engineering humans, or something like that. In the end the humans blew up their warp gate after sending some ships through it to tell the rest of humanity about the threat It was a super good story and now I want to look up the author.

Does anyone know the name of this flash (maybe java) game? It involved firing a ball/rocket from the left side of the screen to try and get it into the exit. In between there were gravity attractors and repulsors which would change the trajectory. Later levels had moving walls and so on.

I'm almost positive this is called Portal but it's going to be incredibly hard to find given that it predates the game most people think of when you say 'portal'. Either way, the game revolves around turning on said portal (which looks like a stargate) and it definitely does involve timing. I remember a scene which involved a ball falling off a cliff that took me forever to figure out just because the game never directly tells you that two objects activated at the same time can interact with eachother (you had to trigger something that would knock the ball off course as it fell). I really want to find this again too.

E: I'm fairly sure it was either on newgrounds, albinoblacksheep or kongregate. One of the really big flash portals that was around circa 2004ish when it came out, and there are at least two games in the series.

You can find poo poo like Elmo Pimps Hoes on Youtube last I checked but all his good stuff is too obscure I guess. Even Mr. T's a Bitch is hard to find and like everyone in high school was playing that.
