Okay, here's something I remember but haven't seen for years. It was posted on these forums well over a decade (possibly two decades) ago. It was a flash animation, with characters in the sort of stick-figure-eqsue look you see now in places like the Oversimplified youtube videos. There were two of them, and the details of the two kinda mix in my memory. I believe in both the main character was this grandfather. They were both set during the holidays, possible Christmas. Grandfather was with his family, and he was having a flashback to when he was in WW2. In one video he had island in the Pacific where a Japanese pilot also crashed. He ended up killing the other pilot, and then the video went back to the present where the grandkid was kinda being a dumbass. It ended with the Johnny Cash cover of Redemption Song. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? EDIT: It's the same one Chef Boyardeez Nuts is looking for. Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:A crude goon made animation about an American pilot shot down on an island with a Japanese pilot that plays out to Johnny Cash's cover of redemption song.

Pretty sure that I found there here so here goes: During hurricane Katrina someone posted a link to a kind of blog of a guy that was working in a datacenter in New Orleans. He stayed at the datacenter throughout the hurricane and for a few days/weeks after as well. During this time he would post pictures that he took looking out the windows of the building to the blog and gave kind of an hour by hour account of his experiences. The posting was probably less frequent than hourly, but you get the idea. Anybody else remember this and have a link?

Someone could replicate it with a little bit of work but any unauthorized mirror or copy that anyone tried to make of the original site won't function without the backend and the missing bits.

There was a video on YouTube some goon made during 2008 that was just a video of John McCain saying "How about Sarah Palin, heh? HOW ABOUT HER, HHEGH?!" and it just keeps repeating the HHEGH?! over and over for like a minute over footage of Palin winking interspersed with random bits of horror like it's the Ludovico technique. I'm almost certain the video and the YouTube account are gone now, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Many years ago, in the early to mid 90s (though it was second hand so could be older) I read a book about a British sailors and Pacific islanders in the age of sail. It might have been historical fiction based on Cook or the mutiny on the Bounty or perhaps more just inspired by those events. The main female character might have been a princess and went off with the sailors. It felt like a mix of trashy romance and adventure and I mainly enjoyed it because it had some very saucy scenes. I think the cover was largely red in colour, possibly with said lady/princess looking alluring. Having read more about the Bounty and its history I remembered the book and tried to find it just out of curiosity and it's driving me crazy that I can't find it. Would be amazed if anyone was able to ID it from these half remembered snippets that might all be wrong, but any help would be super appreciated.

Okay I got one for you guys... I'm looking for something VERY similar to Beyond the Mind's Eye. When I first started looking for this video, I came across Beyond the Mind's Eye, and was originally sure it had to be part of the series, but the more of it I watched, I was never able to find the any Beyond the Mind's Eye that was what I was looking for. And in retrospect, the video I am looking for differs slightly in that Beyond the Mind's Eye seems much more created for the purpose of art. Whereas the video I'm looking for seemed like it was created more as a tech demo of computer graphics. This VHS video would have been from the late 1980's-early 1990's. My dad had this video and was an architect at the time. He would have been using computer programs like AutoCAD, so its reasonable to assume he was given this video as part of a tech demo at work or something. It wasn't feature length, and was probably 20-45 minutes long on VHS. All the different computer animated segments were set to synthy music. Some of the ones I remember are a skeleton playing the drums to a rock song. There was something that looked like a demo of laser eye surgery. And something about a butterfly. Any ideas? Here's Beyond the Mind's Eye for reference. But As I said I haven't seen any of those segments from any of these videos up on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHllSEYSYcU

Pretty sure the one you're thinking of was by goon Luxmore. Some of his stuff is still online, but flash is dead: http://www.mediatyrant.com/flash/index.html Can't find that specific video though

Are you thinking of Horatio Hornblower? The main female character is a duchess or something who has to be rescued but then ends up on the ship with the hero for several books.

I don't think so, I think the English sailors were mostly the baddies, though there might have been a couple of good guys. Appreciate the suggestion, especially as my description is super vague and I could be misremembering. It's a long shot with so little to go on, but it's driving me crazy!

It sounds a little like Nation by Terry Pratchett, but there was no sauciness in that and the timeframe's off

It's a Twitter or a Tumblr post with an image of an erotic painting or sculpture (can't remember) and some kind of prudish remark, and the punchline is "looks like she's doing all right for herself," and it made me howl with laughter and now I can't find it.

When the new Star Trek reboot was about to come out, someone made a faux-trailer that interspersed the trailer with scenes from The Original Series, especially the episode the Enemy within where Shatner gets split into two parts, and at one point he gets upset and starts beating up equipment saying "I am Kirk". I got a kick out of that faux-trailer, but I'm pretty sure it got DMCA''ed off the internet, it disappeared from my bookmarks and I've never seen it since.

A pretty well written but obviously fake account of some guy being taken to an alien planet. I remember reading it from a website years back. The author kept alluding to the fact that he would look at his watch "but 6:30 was Earth time and had no meaning here". There was a part of the story where he observed an alien game that was somewhat like soccer, and he accidentally committed some sort of faux pas and was given the message 'Don't do it again' in no uncertain terms. I wish I could remember the name of the planet he supposedly visited, but those are the only details I can think of.

Person B: He never said that. Person A: He said that you son of a bitch.

I have two, both 80s movies I saw when I was too young to form correct memories of them: 1) Someone does acrobatics over a black and white tile floor in an exotic locale. They land on the wrong tile and explode. 2) A paintball place in a forest where someone is using live rounds and they have to be stopped.

back in the late 90s in canada this new channel appeared called Teletoon. nowadays it's a pale shadow of its former glory, but back when it was new they would air just about fuckin anything late at night. I remember they'd sometimes have these old crappy cartoons that looked like they were from the 70s or something. I don't remember what this one was called, but it aired right after The Nudnik Show or around the same time as it (after 9PM, circa 1997/98). Here is how I remember this show: it featured a boy and a girl who were playing in a junk yard or landfill or something and built a car out of an old bathtub and some other trash that was lying around. There was some explanation of how it worked narrated by the boy as it showed the moving parts appearing on the bathtub as he described them to the friendly junk yard owner. they get in the bathtub car and start to ride around in it until it breaks down. the children lament that "delilah" isn't there to pull them back home, and the junk yard owner who is also riding in the bathtub car with the kids, tells them that she is. A smiling donkey then appears, apparently having been riding covertly in this bathtub the whole time. the boy exclaims "deliah! are WE GLAD to SEE YOU!" then some other stuff happens that I don't remember, i think my parents made me go to bed at this point. it was exactly as crappy as it sounds and it's been seared into my memory since i was 11. please someone help me get this awful cartoon out of my system Junk fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Oct 4, 2022 |
