Even though I have no doubt it would have stopped being exciting by about a week later, to this day I sort of believe winning a $1,000 shopping spree at Toys-R-Us would have been the greatest moment of my entire life

I know someone going through high level government security clearance, and I remember seeing a blog (I think it was linked through from here) that was just lists of applications for the highest level of US clearance with transcripts that went into why they were/weren't accepted. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I remember one that was someone waxing lyrical about fantasising about their daughter or something and getting accepted.

Real wildcard request from before YouTube. In 2003 my roommate showed me a video. It was a mockumentary type thing about the sport of "shoeing". Basically running around a skate park doing "tricks" but with no skateboard, bike or roller blades. All the tricks are just running up a ramp and jumping off. The movie itself is a series of interviews with various Legends and trendsetters of the sport and clips shot in the style of 90s skate videos. I think it about 15-20 minutes long. It was floating around my schools file-sharing hub, but I'm not sure if it ever made it to the wider internet.

The whole joke was that they were literally just running around pretending to do tricks. Their version of grinding a rail was to hop on and take a bunch of little steps and jump off again.

When my wife and I were staying at a lodge in the Amazon a few years ago, the owner was doing a “movie night” during dinner in which he was playing various clips from concerts. He had a hard drive just full of concert videos. In particular was this one of a Latin dude doing a cover of “All Night Long” that was absolutely amazing. He was wearing typical 70s disco garb that was reflective and shiny. Possibly a white suit. He was sweating his rear end off during the super passionate and energetic performance in front of thousands of screaming fans. For the life of me I can’t find who this guy was or where it was filmed but it was such a good cover I just want to experience it again.

im dead posted:freestyle walking maybe? This isn't it, but its basically what the video was. The one I'm looking for played it straight like "shoeing" had become a popular past time and shoeing stars were household names. More like a look back at the history of the sport.

So many people made the same kind of joke videos back in the mid-00's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-bmYUm4PkM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VWslmWt5qU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1IQapsgtPs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtCcUquK09I I started searching because I remember a specific video from pre-youtube as well, and it's none of these. I don't know if it's the same one you're describing though. If you're sure it was called "shoeing", then I got nothing.

I'm still looking for any recording of All the Wrong Parties by Jejune (2019) but I'm also now looking for the old edit of the Oracle scene from the Matrix that was on Albinoblacksheep or something and has her saying "I'm making fingers! They're MONKEY fingers!!"

A mashup of DMX's "Where the Hood At" and the slide song from Mario 64. I swear it was on Youtube and titled "Where the Slide At", but I couldn't find it last time I searched.

EDIT: It was Captain Harlock after all. An anime style show. Don't know if it was a series or a movie. Or ever a series butchered into a movie for the western audience. It was about space pirates, I don't 'think' it was Captain Harlock related though. All I remember is a spaceship gets attacked by a pirate ship - skull and crossbones painted on it's nose which fires missiles into the target which penetrate the target's hull and release a gas that paralyses/freezes the target ship's crew. Then the pirates board wearing possibly armoured space suits and search the target for something. I remember one or more of them chatting to or commenting to the frozen crew of the target while they searched. Would have been available in the UK, either having been shown on TV or on video, probably late 80s or early 90s. Mr Darcy fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Oct 28, 2021 |

Looking for a screencap of a facebook post. It was a guy, named Charlie I think, who posts in all caps about riding his atv or dirt bike. And then his wife responds sweetly that they could be riding it together. And the guy basically responds with SEX or BOOBS or something and she tries to keep up with him and he blurts out the all timer YOU MY WIFE and she says yes I’m your wife, Charlie??

I could well be wrong then. I'd just never managed to find anything that resembled the scene in my head in a Harlock show.

The "great art that reflects society" thread or whatever it's called set me wondering about and searching for a specific piece of art I can best describe as environmentalist propaganda from the 80s. It's a painting (oil?), fairly realistic, of a kid (boy?) sitting by a dirty puddle in a polluted industrial landscape. There may be leaking barrels involved, and I'm not ruling out a nuclear power plant in the background; and things are rather grey. I think he is looking at a flower? I think I may have seen it in a schoolbook in Norway the early 90s, and IIRC a few other places after that - but I'm fairly sure it's from ... somewhere in the rest of the western world.
