A kickboxing gif in which a guy is about to get kicked in the face. Right as it’s about to connect there is an inserted close up shot of a guy just licking a person’s feet. I think I saw it in the lol trump thread a while back.

I'm trying to find two things on the internet: - A seminar about arachnophobia I saw about 8 years ago. I thought it was a TED talk but I couldn't find it on their channel. A woman talks about how she was deathly afraid of spiders but got over her fears through exposure therapy, and now she researches spiders for a living. - An animated gif that might have veen kekeflipnote or someone with a similar style. A cartoon character is trying to draw a calf muscle on a drawing tablet and keeps redrawing the same line and pressing Ctrl+Z 50 times in rapid succession.

That reminds me of this story from This American Life about a guy who had a huge fear of spiders and had exposure therapy plus beta blockers and was cured. I don’t think he studies spiders though so it’s probably not what you are looking for. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/740/transcript

This is a weird one that I’m barely half-remembering from many years ago so it might not even exist, but back in the day I’d bought Myst on CD-ROM for the PC. A friend from school told me you could look up the video files for the books in the library where the brothers would tell you the code for the fireplace and you could run through the game really quick that way. You could, and that was no problem. While fooling around with the other files on the disc, I remember finding another executable on there. It was another point-and-click game in third person, and it was set in either Ancient Greece or Rome. I only remember a few screens, but there was a ship that left a dock and the rock cliffs in the distance split open to let it through then closed when it was gone. There may have been a room with an oven and another with silks. I vaguely remember a scene where the player may have been from the future and had to take the form of one of the ancient Greeks/Romans. I haven’t thought about this in years and can’t remember much more for the life of me, but I’m pretty sure it was on the actual Myst disc. Someone elsewhere mentioned a game called Wrath of the Gods but that doesn’t appear to be it. I can’t find anything made by either Cyan or Broderbund from that time (1993-1994) that seems to match it. Again I might be making it up based on how long ago it was, but I can’t find anything relating to “other games or demos also on original Myst CD-ROM”.

It would be great if I can find it, but would just love to know that someone else remembers it. An MTV interstitial from the 90s set in Compton (feels like it was more inspired by 1995's Friday than the earlier genre explosion). Black and white, or maybe sepia-toned. Two buddies are making fun of two women from the neighborhood, one of the buddies gets caught, and the women read him for filth. I remember the line, "One of them's got a weave, and the other one got hair so short, it's unbeweaveable!" I also remember the line (from one of the women), "You bald head greasy Uncle Fester." I think the two guys had a series of interstitials, and I wonder whatever happened to them.

Okay. Right. I remember years ago seeing a player in an online game with the name OOZE POUNDRY. Which is just hilariously grotesque. I asked them what the name meant and they replied, it's where ooze is pounded. I'm wondering: is this a phrase from a game? Or something? Or has some random gamer from fifteen years ago come up with a phrase that has lived in my memory ever since, even while I forget my parents' birthdays...

Speaking of 90s MTV interstitials: On MTV Europe, they had a few videos by this Scottish sort of beat poet, titled "The Jock Scot Experience". I've managed to find a few: Mod Poem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d2NvpSI8So Bob Dylan's Dream No. 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be6CUPsHt10 Just Another F***ed-up Little Druggy on the Scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPxY4vRA5rI The one that eludes me and that I can only half remember starts with him standing in a meadow or on a field yelling "seven miles south of hell / that's where you'll find me". Buggered if I can remember the rest, and Google will reveal nothing. EDIT: Now my rear end in a top hat of a brain whispers to me that it may also have been "sixteen miles", but all the same, no results.

It was a music video for a like, aggressive rock song with fuzzy guitars. The video focuses on a woman and a guitar in a bedroom, and while I can't remember the beginning, the entire thing was just an extended sex thing that ends with her aggressively humping the guitar while naked. It might've been shot in black and white? Or at least, everything was in very muted or desaturated colors. I swear it wasn't porn. It was incredibly NSFW though and on Vimeo, not YouTube.

I am looking for evidence of a marketing campaign held by a billboard company that would have at least been run in northeastern pennsylvania in the middle-to-late 90s, if not elsewhere. It looked professional enough to be a national campaign, however, in the time period in question, I was not traveling around the country and thus could not tell you if it was. Instead of your average "advertising works! made you look! rent this space!" pabulum your average billboard company would do with unleased space, this company went artsy in an extremely late-90s aesthetic that I absolutely respect, even as I grimace at being reminded that advertising, as an entire concept, sucks. The ad campaign started by being mysterious, and it's this phase of the project I find most interesting. The billboards, instead of being left blank or being given a rote sales pitch, were covered in large, singular, clear, bright images. An extreme closeup of corn on the cob or sunflowers. Clouds in the sky. Green grass. Over top of the photos would be singular words or very short phrases in a clear sans-serif font. I honestly don't remember what the billboards said, and part of this is because after a period of time of getting to drive around and enjoying the weird billboards, new versions of the same images went up in the same spaces, except the text had changed to some dippy bullshit advertising the billboard company, which soured me on the entire concept. However, now, 25-odd years later, I feel like a crazy person even contemplating that this existed, so I need to pin it down in some kind of objective reality.

I’m looking for a book of weird/unusual ‘facts’ from at least 25 years ago that would’ve been available in the UK - I believe it was collected or endorsed by a radio DJ maybe? I think there was a caricature of him on the front at his desk. The stand out story I remember is a jazz player hitting the exact tone of some internal organ and exploding on stage, I’ve since googled and found the ‘real’ story but that one sticks with me.

An unusual suggestion: If these billboards were on interstates or major highways, there's a chance they might show up on someone's old driving video. For some reason, it was a bit of thing for people to aim camcorders out their car windows in the 1980s and 1990s and people have uploaded several of these to YouTube.

I woke up at 4am thinking about the random books my grandad kept in his spare room. He was really into pulp. Late 80s, maybe early 90s, he had this sci-fi book (may have been YA, probably was) about a bunch of teenagers doing saving the universe stuff, very typical tired plot. The only distinguishing feature i can recall is one of the characters was a child-sized flying squirrel who was super strong. And in my head the cover image was a pretty good illustration of the team leaning against their spaceship, faded ringed planets in the background, but in the fashion of a group of teens leaning against cars at a 50s car hop. I don't want to reread it, just curious how well my mental image of the book cover matches reality.

This thread is a great read. Someone from way back was looking for the short CGI movie Fallen Art and found it, and I’m a little sad I missed out on IDing that one because the studio, Platige Image, made one of my favorite CGI shorts ever. So I’m gonna post it anyway! https://youtu.be/msIjWthwWwI (They also worked on Resident Evil 8 apparently, so they’re still active!) Random moonshot on a post from over a year ago: IronicDongz posted:some old indie japanese shoot em up. low res graphics with a lot of simple geometric shapes, including pickups, and a fairly monochrome light blue/white color palette. hard to describe what it looked like but it's fairly clear in my head Was this maybe noiz2sa or rrootage? Made by the same guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABA_Games For my own asks, I was going to post about the original airing version of The Point. Ringo Starr did the narration for the version most people have seen (and it’s the one you can still buy), but it was originally narrated by Dustin Hoffman, once. His contract said he was in for the first telecast of it and then never again. Well, someone uploaded it to YouTube since the last time I looked! https://youtu.be/OAamtrV-AeM (They’ve got the Alan Thicke version too, though there’s a fourth version that’s considered totally lost, which is a shame.) Things I haven’t found: 1. Some kids’ cartoon from the 60s or 70s, there’s a little kid trying to fix a tiny car, it isn’t working, and he gets all sad and sits down on the sidewalk and lets out a really distinct sigh, “we-OOOOHHHHhhh”, like it could have been a trumpet instead of an actor almost. Something else was taped over the rest of it so this is the only part of the cartoon I know. 2. A one-off cartoon strip, hand drawn and scanned in I think, about “LONGO THE BARBARIAN”. Longo defeats his enemies with his tree-sized dick. That’s the whole comic. Pretty sure I first saw it in BYOB. 3. Some weird crappy horror movie, easily could have been on a TV series like Tales From The Crypt or whatever. Something to do with voodoo gingerbread men cookies. Guy’s girlfriend gets pissed about I think lipstick on the cookie bag and crumbles them up in anger, and the guy’s in the shower at the time and starts screaming. Scared the crap out of me as a little kid but I have a feeling it was really stupid. 4. Commercial from the 90s or early 00s at latest, a bunch of really old white dudes in a boardroom talking about computer stuff they obviously don’t get. One guy likes the sound of RAM because it sounds tough, and he yells “we’ll RAM everything! even the megabytes!!!”. I forget what it was actually advertising but it was funny.

A detailed synopsis of the episode from here: Act I Advertising agent Henry Hogan arrives at a small New Orleans bakery called "Cuzzin's Dozens" to try and partner with its owner, Ruby. Henry has come up with an advertising campaign already as the shop is something of a local hit, and Henry thinks it could be franchised to make them both rich. Ruby is not interested in the idea, however, but Henry manages to talk her into it. Ruby begins yelling at her father, Aloysius, and leaves the room. Aloysius passes a new cookie over to Henry, a gingerbread man. Aloysius sends Henry off with a warning: that Ruby is a witch who works for the devil, and uses gingerbread men cookies as voodoo dolls. Henry laughs this off and leaves, and Ruby is enraged, torturing her father with voodoo magic and turning him into a rat. Act II Back at home, Henry's wife, Helen, is convinced he is having an affair, but he denies this. He dips the gingerbread cookie into some coffee, and this causes Helen to burn her leg. Henry laughs, realizing that this partnership will make him rich. There is a montage as Ruby becomes rich and famous, and Henry eventually loses all of his money. Some time later, Henry returns to the original bakery, demanding more cookies from her so he can use her magic to get his wealth back. However, Ruby has no interest as she was actually the one behind his financial woes the entire time, so he would be forced to focus on her business. Rick is enraged and thinks about using his last cookie to kill her, but he thinks better of the idea and decides to leave. Act III At home, Helen is still thinking that he is not faithful to her. Henry is annoyed by this so he goes to take a shower. Helen looks at the gingerbread cookie on the table, and sees some lipstick on the wrapper. She takes this as proof of an affair and destroys the cookie in anger, however this act tears Henry to pieces in the shower, killing him. At the bakery, Ruby finishes her nightly routine of sadistically torturing Aloysius. He swears that he will get even with her and she again turns him into a rat. Ruby laughs at him, only to realize that Aloysius only gave Henry twelve cookies to begin with. The rat then begins eating the last cookie's head, torturing Ruby for a change, and presumably killing her.

The site is up on archive.org, but it doesn't seem to generate images any more. Does anyone know if the page was ever mirrored or if something similar exists? https://placeit.net/c/design-templates/stages/mixtape-cover-creator-with-a-cassette-graphic-2713g This one isn't quite what I'm looking for, I just want the plain old-school look of words on a cassette tape.
