I'm looking for a graphic novel. Back in 1998 when I would go to the library (yes, people use to do this)I found this really awesome graphic novel. The story (from what I remember and spoiler alert)was about this guy(we will call him tom) who started to take notice about the world around him. He walked with a guy(has a biblical name)who was immortal and destined to walk barefoot for the rest of eternity. So tom would walk with guy and noticed things like; there are two worlds that coexist in our one. The day time is all business people on the street and night is all homeless people on the same street. Guy would take tom to different points in history and would tell him stuff. At some point Tom was face to face with himself and I believe he shot himself. I have another book in mind too but I'll save that one for later. It would be a much harder search since when I found it (again at the library) they didn't even have a record of owning it, but they still let me check it out. Thanks for your help.
If this isn't the very low key start of an ARG then I don't know what.

Back in the early days of icantcolourin.co.uk, they had "The Rotation" uploaded with music in the background. For whatever reason, sometime between 2005 and 2009 it was re-uploaded with new music. I'd love to find the original version with the original music.

No it is not an Alternate Reality Game. It is a graphic novel that reads sorta like Ghosts of Christmas past. Except that its just guy taking tom around to different points in time.

Hoping someone can assist in finding a youtube music video of a guy playing a banjo.

What I know of the video:
1. Features a dude who is kinda tall and skinny, its just him playin the banjo and singing.

2. I remember it being very "brown" in tone, and perhaps there was an empty pool. Perhaps someones backyard?

3. It was posted in a thread that goons were posting videos in, but I cannot find the thread.

4. A goon may have produced, or directed, or had some part in the creation of the video. Unsure of the validity of this one.

I'm interested in purchasing the guy's cd (if he has one) but don't know his name at all, and only vaguely remember this video. :/

Did someone say "chimichanga"? Never mind, that was just the sound of my skull and brains healing.
I'm after an article that is probably going to break my heart by not being half as funny as I remember it.

It was actually an article on SA, and I have searched and searched but can never find it - I'm sure my SA-fu is just really poor. It was around the time a shooting must have taken place in America, as well as some shark attacks. It was a guide on how to determine if you were being hunted by a sniper or a shark. I remember it had a line it about a really determined sniper swimming after you and biting you which just had me in stitches. Can't remember the author, it's years old, and I have no great expectations.

I'm looking for an artist. His website contained a large gallery of his works, which were all small paintings arranged into categories.

His paintings were these very weird and surreal parodies of Americana. I recall one had a bunch of pigs riding on a clown-themed roller coaster. Pigs, clowns, and the Pope all showed up with some regularity. (I think they even had their own categories.) It was all very violent and creepy, with a very colorful, sort of contoured style, which made everything seem rounded.

I believe he was originally posted in the very first, legendary "unsettling images" thread.

Looking for two things:

I'm looking for a video that I haven't seen in years. It is either a video or a YTMND (could be either or, unfortunately), I think maybe the main guitar riff from Du Hast is playing in the background, and at one point, it shows a scene from American Psycho with Patrick Bateman and the hookers, where he points off to one side while posing in the mirror. I believe there is also a lot of random color changing.

Second thing is a video I think that was produced on SA regarding a news report about a bear that was tranquilized out of a tree into a trampoline. The main thing I remember is that the video ends with big letters on the screen that says "THIS BEAR IS DEAD".

I'm trying to find a clip from the Bill Cosby show, or SOMETHING. Basically the setup is this young black kid is chowing down on a hamburger, and an older woman is telling him "Eat your burger baby, 'fore it gets COLD!" I think it had something to do with McDonalds?

It's a weird request I know. Maybe I just imagined it almost two decades ago.

A few years ago I found this homemade Legend of Zelda fanmovie on youtube. It was made by a bunch of 8-year old kids in their backyard and was obviously pretty poorly done but I remember being impressed they actually made a 90-minute movie. It was split up into 9 10-minute chunks and I think it might've just been titled "The Legend of Zelda", making it impossible to google. The only part I remember was Ganondorf yelling at his minions for playing Halo instead of finding Link. Can anyone help me?

A long time ago, there was some educational show that had a bit where a guy named "Farmer John/Jon" would have a set number of apples, then take a few away as a simple math problem. What made it stick in my memory is that for some reason, Farmer John had a dog's head. I don't know what show it was, and it's been bugging the crap out of me.

Back when (Tobey Mcguire) Spiderman came out Best Buy had a commecial of this overexcited black guy talking to Spiderman then fading to reality where he and his wife were shopping at Best Buy. What cracked me up was the lines he was saying. "Hey! What you doing Spiderman?! Alright, getting the girl, saving the day. Oooh!" The original commercial is easily found on youtube.

Anyways the video made the rounds here on SA and someone posted a remix featuring all those goofy lines. I'm pretty sure it was just music, not a video. I dont know why I thought about it after all these years but now that I have I think it'd make a great ringtone.

Can someone please help?

I have been looking for an old video posted on the late ifilms site called "my first sex tape". It is an amateur-like film that features a couple trying to make a sex tape, but then they get into this argument that culminates into the girlfriend admitting she slept with the guy's brother. There's even a brief part when she squeezes his belly button and goes "dick dick... dickdickdickdickdick".

This was circa summer 2002.

There was a website around 2005 or 2006 that posted ghost stories or scary stories. Each update, there'd be a new post in the list called "Scary Story Gallery #XXX" or whatever number was there. The url was something like "savedro" or something strange like that. If I could find it again, that would be perfect.

I seem to remember that the homepage for the site had categories other than ghost stories too.

I'm looking for a list I saw a long time ago about what rape is.

It seemed like it was written by an angry woman because it had like 50 different definitions of rape, things like "if you've been drinking (you or her) then it's rape" and "if you have to ask for sex more than once then its rape." and so on and so forth.

Tried looking for it but all I got was list of best movies with rape scenes in them and other stuff.
