The Human Cow posted:This sounds like Roy D. Mercer to me. How big a boy are you? I looked up Roy Mercer. The character was created too late to be my culprit, but the Wiki led me to who it was: John Bean as Leroy Mercer. The Roy Mercer character borrowed a lot of what had been bean's prank calls. I'm pretty sure this is one of the bits of the unlabeled tape they were given. NSFW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS1Wqoo_1nM

this series of how to draw books I liked when I was a kid. I estimate they had to have come out in the 1980s. They were not Lee J. Ames or Mark Kistler. They were not the kind where a cartoon character or animal is drawn in various stages of completion and you're supposed to follow along. It was more about how to make and elaborate on ideas of what to draw - I think there was a lot about drawing things by adding shapes, but there was no emphasis on an object's actual 3d structure, or making anything realistic. Instead everything had a really simple cartoonish style. No shading. The only specific thing I can recall is a drawing of a big pirate ship. The author recommended that it's easier for your hand to draw a straight vertical line than a good straight horizontal line, therefore when you want to draw long horizontal lines, just turn the paper sideways and draw them vertically. Really wish I could remember more.

limaCAT posted:I want to know the name of one song I hate. There is a lady singing and when she says sings one sentence and a guys answer "HAYYY HOOO!". Before the refrain the lady does a musical stair (like the piano exercise when you sing from low octave c to high octave c) with her voice. It's a version of Jai Ho (not the Millionaire version) and probably it is the Pussicat Dolls version, now that I have could hear it properly maybe it wasn't that bad or irritating like when it used to be on the radio.

There was this PC Game back in the mid 90's where you could customize robot fighters and then play 1v1 street fighter style with them. My asian friend back in the day had it at his house and we would play for hours, was a fantastic game for it's time, for the life of me I can't recall what it was called.

Horror movie, saw once on HBO or Showtime ~ 5 years ago. Was very high. Never found the name or seen it since. Seemed like it was made recentish (2005 to ~2015) but don't really know. There's a cabin on a small island in the middle of a lake, couple moves out there. Weird, poltergeist-y poo poo starts happening. Has a "knock once if you're a good spirit, twice if you're an evil spirit"[tense music] KNOCK ...[tense music stops]....... KNOCK!!!! moment and a confrontation with the evil in corporeal form in a crawlspace which was weird? End is some cliche'd demon/angel battle and the husband rowing away from the house on the lake.

Okay, here's a tough one. I make music, and have occasionally been called on to do some soundtrack work. Sometime around the mid 2000's decade, I had an artist call on me to make noises for their installation piece. He lived in Utah, and the theme was "downwinders" --- the people who lived in Utah and got cancer most likely because of nuclear testing in Nevada that spread downwind in Utah. The PC I had at the time is way dead, and I don't have the files anymore. Nor the saved emails. And shamefully I can't remember the artist's name. If anyone's an artist or runs in those circles in Utah and has a loving clue as to what I'm talking about, please help. Would've been 2005-2009, if my memory serves. The art show made the local news, I used to have a link to y'alls local news station talking about it.
