This is a real longshot, but I used to gawk at crazy conservatives on a site around 1997 or so where the authors had written an insane manifesto wrapped in a piece of fiction Ayn Rand-style. It was written like a Tom Clancy novel (short chapters each focused on a different character) and it about the establishment of an absolute theocratic Christian monarchy in America. IIRC, it included Bill Clinton being arrested for treason, Dan Rather getting executed and a system of government whereby the absolute monarch was chosen by random lottery (one state is picked, then one person from that state is picked, giving the vast wasteland in the middle of the country a huge edge). Unfortunately, this tour de force was titled "The First Hundred Days," so it seems to be un-Google-able, if anyone even thought to save it.

Back in the mid-'90s, I was on Prodigy (remember those "$400 off a computer if you sign a contract with an ISP" deals?). It was pre-internet as such; around the same time or slightly before AOL got started. They had a science column I liked, that I'd like to read again/more. All I remember that might help further is that it did a multipart series on slime molds. Anybody remember that? Does it still exist on the internet? Is the guy still writing it?

There was this old Web 1.0 site run by some girl where she just put up illustrations, and quizzes etc. It had a beige background. Some things I remember were that there was a quiz about the Blair Witch project, a page about adding "in accordance with the prophecy" to the end of sentences, and a few other things. Anyone have a clue?

About 10-15 years ago, give or take, someone posted a gigantic rant about how they were renouncing GUIs and were going all console from here on in. All of his desktops would be total CLI and nothing but Linux or *BSD. What made this person really stand out was that he also wanted to get married, have children, and raise them in an exclusively console-only environment (and require his wife to renounce GUIs as well). Need to type a report for school? Use vi and LaTEX (or whatever). Want to watch a movie? Use a CLI-based player. Surf the web? Lynx. Email? Mutt. I clearly recall him posting a long-winded goony manifesto to the effect of "heh, you plebs aren't REAL computer users". I've been curious to follow up on this, because holy poo poo. Especially in this era of smartphones and GUIs for cars, it's a ridiculous notion. Especially trying to explain to your kids' teachers during parent-teacher conferences why your kids are dumbfounded by Windows. And good luck getting a job. Anyway, I suspect this might have been on Slashdot or somewhere similar, but I can't find anything at all. Anyone remember this?

I'd love it if someone could please help me with this. About 2004-2006, there was a music video. Mainly percussion. The video had a man come in with a head in a suitcase. The group set up a bunch of human heads, which would make beats when hit. I remember a head spinning on a turntable, maybe?. I think there might have been yellow hats? Sorry I can't remember more.

I read a short joke, possibly in a signature or quotation or (non SA) forum post, in which as best I can recall it was supposed that Morrissey or The Smiths were on the phone in the scene from the Matrix: "What good is a phone call", the quote started out, then followed up with a humorous adaptation of the melodramatic style of Smiths lyrics that went on for a few lines, rather than the expected "if you're unable to speak?", I don't remember if it was actual Smiths lyrics or just something that referenced their style but it has been wracking my brain ever since and I keep finding myself in awful situations where I want to tell people how hilarious it was but I can't remember what it said just how much it made me laugh. When I discovered it first I was sick and under the influence of drowsying cold medicine so it might not actually be quite as funny as I remember but still it must have been humorous enough for someone else to have seen it and liked it, of this I am certain. I really want to know what it said mostly so I can lol once again.

De Nomolos posted:"I hope you like punches, because I have a whole sack full of them for you" I think so. It was back when the internet was small enough where all the humor sites could just link to each other, and then webrings started. I'm fairly sure Eric Conveys an Emotion is still up. Although to me it is less funny than it used to be.

I'm looking for a video I saw a few years back, it was a documentary-style thing about poor people in some Eastern European country (my memory tells me Latvia but I'm not sure), and I think it focused in particular on a woman living there (and I think she was harassed by her ex-husband or something). All the men were drunk as poo poo and everything was miserable. At one point the woman finds someone she knows passed out drunk in the side of the road and she's just like "hey, stop lying in the road". Another time I think a man (maybe the ex-husband?) stabs himself with a pair of scissors to try to get her attention. I really want to watch it again and I can't find it by googling obvious terms, please help if this rings a bell! Edit: I'm also looking for a commercial (not sure if real or fake) for a Mexican restaurant, I think it was on Today's Big Thing back around 2007-2010 but their archive doesn't seem to go back that far. In addition to really poor editing it involves a man propelling himself into the air by shooting his two revolvers downward, and there's a quote about a burger I distinctly remember: "You won't hear any mooing from it, cause it's meat-free - black bean!" kilogram fucked around with this message at 12:30 on Jun 18, 2014 |

Posting in the correct thread now... In short, I'm looking for article I read years ago about some kids who got into mostly-legal arms dealing by supplying Iraq/Afghanistan with surplus soviet weapons from eastern europe, but in the end got busted for something stupid. The problem is that I don't remember any names or other details, so searching for this just turns up recent news articles. There's this one that's quite close, but not it, and it was definitely not on buzzfeed.
