I recall coming across some white British rap group from the early 90s on YouTube not too long ago. The album cover was in fact blue and was of apartment buildings. However it had like 300 views so I'm not sure it's that.

Every once and a while I'll search Google for this middle school level collection of spooky stores that I know is across the country at my parents place. I may be merging 2 or more books together but the stories I remember are. 1. Two school kids make a carrot cake during daylight savings so it's like it never happened. Spooky. There was something about their teacher and they go missing at the end I think. 2. This one is called jaguar in the night or something similar. A guy is backpacking in central America? Sees a jaguar and runs into the jungle where he is captured by aztec guys and ritually sacrificed. 3. Two school girls go to a shady warehouse to buy second hand clothes. One gets trapped/rolled up in a rug and gets eaten by cockroaches and the other just assumes the first left and leaves.

If your dad was a lineman they can even put his truck number on it. Awesome! Thanks fella, this will make my mom happier than my dad that we're able to do this. Appreciate it. Thx to action Jacktion as well but none of those are con ed.

Wudz posted:It's not this but I hope this brings you inspiration on your search This is basically the idea. It got into their training and the enthronement rules. All the competitors had strategies and signature moves. I still remember one guy's movie was called "sailing to Ecuador on a ship made of shoestring." Most of the comedy came from the way the ridiculous premise was played completely straight.

I'm trying to find a web series I only half remember. It was on youtube, a live action thing. It took place in an office setting, and the main character was a woman. In the first episode there was something really surreal about it, all of the interactions between her and the people in the office were extremely stilted. It was kind of reminiscent of something maybe you might show to someone learning English for the first time in that statements were made so plainly, and would just kind of hang in the air before the next thing would happen. But it gave it this really uneasy sense. But, if I remember right that sense of vague unease was continually exaggerated until it became overt horror. I want to say it was produced over 7 years ago though when specifically, I can't say

I didn't find my last book, but there is another I'd like to find. It is probably a young adult book (or series of books), I am fairly sure the protagonist is called Ptolemy. I thought the book had his name in the title but that has not given any clues. He somehow found (or built) a robot and a coin, he put the coin into the robot and it came alive. The robot talked to him and guided him to do whatever the book was about. The main thing was that the robot was not sentient, and it had been programmed millenia ago and was simply acting out to match what they thought was most likely to occur. Probably about saving the world, or at least whoever had created the robots. Any ideas? Doug Sisk fucked around with this message at 01:06 on May 12, 2021 |

There was this old video that was briefly pretty popular on the forums, that was called something like "pokin a dead pig with maggots" that always made me laugh, but as far as I can tell it's been erased from the internet. It's not as gross as it sounds. It's some kid with a funny southern accent poking at a long dead pig with a stick and going "peeewwie that pigs a stankin ewwieeee"

Hip hop song probably between the years of I'd say 2003 and 2013 that had a refrain like "we a(re?) going hard, we a going hard" or something like that. I'd say it was a big enough song to get some decent airtime but I doubt it was ginormous

As long as you have a browser that will play Flash, or another way to open swf files (since you can just download them), you'll be set. https://www.somethingawful.com/series/platform-hero/ It's 8 parts, and although many Flash Tubs have been converted to youtube, all I can find is a short "ending" video that may or may not be part of those 8 (since I haven't gotten my own solutions up and running yet to watch them): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=demTJahJCtI Thanks sooooo much! I always liked the Flash Tub, and I was sure the name was Platform Hero and the author. They mainly came out after my third hospitalization and I had no internet access while in restraints, so I missed them and search was unavailable (according to Radium lmao). Also I re-joined to pass  to Lowtax because of Fashion SWAT’s “exposé” on Etro’s Beards. Lots of funny-at-three-am stuff on the front page every day.

Maybe not for years but I've been trying for a little while to find a high resolution image of a ?poster? of Su Daji from the Jiang Ziya movie and I have been coming up empty. I feel like there must be a source image out there but I just lack the search chops to find it. The design is siiiick as hell.

Ramc posted:The bigger the better, but that's Pretty Good. How would I best go about hunting a higher res version of this sort of thing? Oh, actually, I think I was able to find the original. It comes from a Pixiv artist apparently. Image #8 in this gallery - you'll need a Pixiv account to see original size and I'm not 100% sure how big it is. Google Reverse Image Search and TinEye are usually your fastest "close enough" sources - upload the copy you have (or paste the URL) and see what it comes up with for similarities. That's how I got the higher-res version before. Especially for getting higher-res copies, a lot of the process is just clicking the link at the top for "finding other sizes" and sifting through the hit-or-miss that will come up. It obviously doesn't help here, but if you are sharp-eyed you can often find an artist's signature hidden somewhere and try to find their primary homepages; poking around there is a good bet. For fanart and stuff that gets heavily slung around social media, saucenao can sometimes help you find the original, and seems to have better search around DeviantArt/Pixiv/etc. That's where I got this second link.

Less for me, more for work. We use an older (originally from the 90s if not earlier) RedPrairie management software suite for filling warehouse orders. Ancient poo poo, built for VT100 terminals, pure black and white text entry. This software is hosted offsite through a terminal that obfuscates what the software actually is, and nobody on the IT side will disclose, but RedPrairie only seems to have had one relevant product line until they were merged in 2013 (when our last version dates from). I've been looking for the bloody software manual for months now with minimal to no success. If there's some resources I should be plumbing the depths of, haven't found it yet. Finding this manual is a Very Big Deal but our own team has totally given up on its existence. I'm not convinced it exists either. But figuring out one specific function in this whole drat thing would let me automate away the core cause of my wrist RSI and maybe actually make a recovery instead of the current prolonging. I've nearly reached the point of reaching out to the company they merged into to see if they maintain old software documentation, despite this never having held true in the past. I'm aware of the odds that this is some custom job and that no documentation exists but I'm gambling on it anyway. If a future coworker somehow finds this in their own search: run while you still can. SkyeAuroline fucked around with this message at 20:38 on May 17, 2021 |

A cartoon where some prince turns into a frog then becomes a french secret agent with a very strong french accent. Double 0 freddie or something? He gets attached to british intelligence when a supervillain just steals a bunch of monuments with some kind of levitation ray, does some kind of infiltration mission by hiding in Big Ben with two british agents (sexy love interest and well-meaning potato). They make a joke about the frog thing:  The new agent is here sir, he's... well, he's a frog I say, that's no way to talk about our noble french allies! No, I mean green skin Oh. Well, send him in.

He'll still be the only one with any authority and his job is not nearly as at risk as he thinks it is. (ie, it's not at risk at all because he is literally the only IT guy above "can connect monitors and power cycle workers' computers" in authority for a multinational company)

In the 90s I had a board game I vaguely remember the details of. It came in a big blue/cyan box and had a picture of what I think was a big snake on it. It was western-themed, I think. The board itself looked something like a four-sided mountain or coal mine with doors on each side and your goal is to avoid a spring-loaded snake that gets flung randomly out of one of the doorways. I tried looking up snake-related 90s board games, but couldn't find anything resembling it. It's not Snakes & Ladders or Don't Get Rattled!

Biden is kind of squatting and has his arms spread out (possibly pointing). One arm is lined up with Obama's groin. Obama is looking down with a smug or proud smirk on his face.
