Some sort of online presence for my 9th grade math teacher. I was super attracted to her as a 14 year old and I want to see if I was right or just a horned-up ball of hormones.

Edit: and maybe have a nostalgic wank

An animated movie, probably from Japan, but definitely requiring subtitles from before early 2009. There were a pair of brothers, and I think they were orphans. They were in some sort of futuristic city and the younger brother was wearing a bunch of watches.

I always wanted to be a Wizard
I saw a piece of commercial artwork in October 1992 that scared the absolute poo poo out of me. It was an image of a post-apocalyptic roadside scene. There were quite a few skeletons strewn around and at least one harley-type motorcycle. In the sky, a large group of crows fly in the shape of a skull, seen face-on. It was a large, fairly standalone piece of work, at least 10 inches tall and wider than it was tall. I don't remember if it had any writing on it. It would have been printed on some kind of paper or poster material. The poster was for sale in a store that may have sold music, i remember then having books and music and gadgets and knickknacks, like a hot topic? But the store was in the outskirts of Paris so I can't look up what kind of stuff it might have been.

Looking back at it now it was probably a metal album cover or a poster from one. Any ideas?

I've been searching for this for a couple years and I've basically given up.

I love the sample at the beginning of this music video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTG8U-FzmZg

It can be heard at 47 seconds into the video.

It's obviously an old folksy religious song from forever ago but I thought it was such a cool intro for a hip hop song. I check Youtube every once in a while for "God's Gonna Set This World on Fire" but none of them are ever the source of the sample.

Whosampled.com doesn't have it (obviously the first place I checked).

I'm starting to wonder how the producer of this song found the drat thing in the first place.

I have vague memories of watching a cartoon with a kind of scribbly or soviet aesthetic about all the animals of the world rising up against the foolish humans. I remember next to nothing about it except for a scene where moles or another digging animals would tunnel all through a representation of planet earth, and one of them dug into the ocean, maybe?

At this point I'm almost convinced I made it up, but I guess it's worth a try.

e: I actually found it in the last of many attempts to find it, by actually googling in my native german instead of english. It's called the conference of animals and is based on a book by a famous german kids book author.

Just in case anybody is even interested in this, here are a few minutes of it.

There was a book when I was a kid in the 80s that was all about armored knights. It had a lot of mythology writing in it (I have no idea if it was made-up mythology or actual historical stories) and the images were these beautiful classical-style fantasy paintings of knights. I feel like this book heavily influenced the sort of characters I play in video/tabletop games and I'd like to take a look at it again if possible.

I am trying to find an old typing game. I don't really remember much but you would go around and fight stuff in a medieval/fantasy setting. I would have been playing this on an old mac in the very early 90's. I know it's not but for some reason I though the name might be Dvorak Teaches Typing. Anyone remember this???

I could have sworn there was a kingdoms heart commercial with a remix of a song from The Nutcracker (or some other christmas song), but I haven't found any evidence that it exists on youtube. I seem to remember it playing fairly frequently too. I'm not even a Kingdom Hearts fan, I just want to know if I'm just misremembering or not.

Those look cool but I don't think it was it. I remember either the front or back cover had an image of a knight in full armor with, like a fur cape or collar. He had a lot of blue highlights to the armor and may actually have been labeled "The blue knight".

By "silly" do you mean "exaggerated accent?" I think brief forums star Futhman did a rendition of this with his native Bangladeshi accent, as I remember that going through my head all the time about a decade ago. I do not have it, but I still occasionally talk to him, if that might be the one, and I could ask if he had it.

Futhman responded to me almost immediately to say he thinks he does still have it, and will look tomorrow. I will look tonight to see if I can beat him to the punch now that I know it definitely exists

Now with less breakage.

Not me, but my boyfriend: He's fairly sure he borrowed short audiobooks at his local library that came on some tape format that was smaller than regular cassettes. We're in Norway, he was born in '88, and they had both Disney stories (he specifically mentioned The Sword in the Stone) and Norwegian children's TV (Portveien 2 and the like). He also thinks they looped, so if you left it alone at the end you got a sound effect and then it started again.

He's also fairly sure they were specifically in the kids section, so you had a split between "small cassettes" for kids things and "normal cassettes" if you wanted to listen to Scandinavian crime noir in your car or whatever people did in the mid 90s.

What brought this up was seeing Techmoan demonstrate Pocket Rockers - they never made it over here, but he thought the tape format looked familiar. However, I have found absolutely no hint of Disney or anyone releasing audio books on any sub-cassette tape format - was this actually a thing? Were they actually repurposed Pocket Rocker 4-track infinite loop cartridges? Was this specifically a Norwegian library system project?

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I really want to tackle this one because the idea of disney not trying to make money off of any format is breaking my head, but I don't know a ton about norway and even less about it back in the late 80s, early 90s so it seems like it'd have to be local or maybe just a more generically european w/ localization?

If you figure it out, let us know.

One question comes to mind, how did he listen to them? Did the typical Norwegian home have something that could play these tapes (weird answering machines or perhaps some Teddy Ruxpin knockoff), did they use an adapter to fit in a normal tape player, ...? Though unless that really narrows it down I don't know that I'd have any suggestions that didn't get mentioned in the Techmoan video.

You should call the library and ask. They may have records of their inventory at the time, some mid-50s librarian may remember these tapes, they may even have their actual old card catalogue still around and be able to check that for what type of media they had The Sword In The Stone on. Even if they don't have a direct resource: they're a library, that kind of stuff is literally their job, and they'll probably be happy someone's interested in their own history in a way.

If they can't help you, a university library may be able to, if they have a library science or media studies faculty. They may in fact still have similar tapes. If all else fails: National Library of Norway.

Chessex borealis clear dice to go with the D20 someone gave me as a birthday present. I’ve never seen any other outside of an ID guide online.

Also I remember a book I loved in school that had two short stories and a longer story about the fae. One had a woman whose eye had been taken by a fae named Magda (?) who had raised her to be a vessel or something and she escapes and has a daughter. There is a short story in it about a woman who the fae try and take that features a stiletto knife mentioned a bit. I cannot remember the name AT ALL but I remember that the color of the cover was a pinkish hue.
