Years back in I believe the ask/tell Military History thread someone posted a hilarious excerpt from a work of fiction where two characters are having a conversation when out of nowhere one of them says something like: A) "Yes, and (Braxton Bragg, I think it was) lost the war singlehandedly." B) "That is most unfair to (Bragg). A) "Now back to my earlier point." B) "No wait, now we need to talk about (Bragg)." And it goes on for a bit.

A book from my childhood “How to be funny”. Would have been from the 80s, I remember it being pretty meta for the time. It was intentionally terrible advice. Like, how to tell a run on joke that never has a punchline. I’d like to see if it holds up at all, I was really into Naked Gun as a kid and this book fits into that type of humour, but I can find no evidence of it existing.

That is it! Kind of. Searching for Jovial Bob Stein (aka R.L. Stine, writer of Fear Street) was the key. I found the version of the same book published in 1978. Thanks. I can’t believe my old Fear Street books were connected to this. https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/a/jovial-bob-stine/how-to-be-funny-an-extremely-silly-guidebook/

When I was 3 or 4 years old, my parents woke me up one night to watch the Frosty the Snowman cartoon. They sat me down in front of the TV and there was some show on that was just ending. A person was driving a car and another car drove up alongside it with extendable kneecappers hidden in the wheels. They drilled through the first car's tires, causing it to fly into a ditch and explode. It was vaguely alarming to me at the time because was this a common occurence on the road? Was this something to be concerned about on my way to daycare? Anyway, it might have been the A-Team or Knight Rider or something like that. Probably around 1986-87.

There's this painting, a self portrait of a young man. I think it was painted in Italy at some point between 1600-1800. He's standing outside and gesturing to a plaque next to him, which has words like "Mind your own business" written on it. The painting is titled something like "Motto". I think it was a Wikipedia picture of the day a year or two ago? It amused me, but I can't remember the artist or title. EDIT: That's it! Salvator Rosa. Thank you.

He painted a self portrait titled 'Philosophy" with the Latin inscription Aut tace aut loquere meliora silentio ('Either be silent or say something better than silence')

That sounds extremely in line with the best worst Mad Max ripoff ever, NBC's 'The Highwayman'. A totally not Max guy and his Aussie sidekick drive around a futuristic wasteland American southwest doing vehicle stuff in their futuristic semi that has a helicopter on it, and get into lots of vehicular road fights. https://youtu.be/4S43ASGEOuU

Ok here's one for you dudes that I feel like should be easy, but after periodically remembering this, searching, and seeing no evidence of it ever existing over the last 10 years I'm starting to question my sanity I am looking for dance remix of this song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkSruKt6m4Q] "Lucky Like St. Sebastian"by the musical artist Momus. From what I remember the song had a very 90's house sound, with those thick sounding rapid piano chords that you would hear in a lot of dance music from around that time. The weird thing about this song is when I bought the album on Itunes back in like, 2004, I swear it only had this version, and I thought that was the original song until like 2012 when I heard the real original. I have never been able to find this remix, which I think I liked better (The lines "Stripping naked in the Circus Maximus, With a martyr-eating lioness" sounded really nice with the more groovin rhythms I recall). If anyone finds this I would be so, so happy. It's probably not as good as I remember but I'm getting tired of remembering this every few years and being deeply confused when I can't find it. Also if you search "Lucky Like St. Sebastian remix" on google you get some dude on soundcloud who made a lofi beat out of the original song. That isn't what I'm looking for.

One more request. I swear this was on Brunching Shuttlecocks around the year 2000, but I can’t find any evidence it existed. The blogger did something to his feet. Wearing socks for a month or keeping foot in a plastic bag and reported on the experience.

This seems too obvious, but you said it felt 90s-ish and didn't explicitly rule it out: Momus re-recorded a bunch of his own songs, including this one, for the 1995 album Slender Sherbet. Is that what you're looking for? Both versions are on spotify or probably your streaming music service of choice if not on youtube somewhere (original is 3:19, '95 version is 3:12). P.S. never listened to him before but it's a neat song.

I'm looking for a sitcom episode, I think probably originally aired in the 90s. In the episode one of the characters is dating a puppeteer for a kids show. Iirc the puppet is a giraffe. The relationship seems to be going well but the giraffe keeps saying really mean pointed things on the kids show that could be interpreted as criticism.. The puppeteer is a woman and the character is a man. I think she has straight hair. That's all I got.

This one is from the late '70s, I think? There was a Japanese software initiative called the Fifth Generation. The idea was to move on from standard programming languages (OO being the "fourth generation") to "logic programming" where the programmer would write out logic clauses and the processing system would do the work of implementing it. Western software people were worried (because this was the OMG JAPAN IS WINNING period) and were certain that the ordered and methodical Japanese would come to dominate software as they had come to dominate [your technology here]. Anyway, a coworker of mine had a wall poster of American engineers forming a crazy human pyramid demonstrating that they weren't prepared to compete against Japanese orderliness. The poster was the blown-up version of a magazine cover. I thought it was either from Chronicles of the ACM or Computerworld, but I can't find it in either of their archives. Does anybody recognize what I'm talking about?
