Nobody can identify the tech commercial jingle from the '90s? I thought sure someone might remember what company had that tune in its commercials. I'm just curious because the jingle gets into my head sometimes and I can't remember where it comes from.

If it's intel, it's probably gonna be the intel play (89 seconds in), but that's still not what you sequenced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW8LLhHq9_c&t=89s

There was a long form article from maybe 2 or 3 years ago that vividly described earth's climate in various past epochs. I think it may have worked backward from the present, it may have been an excerpt from a book, and it may have been linked to climate change. Anyone have any idea?

I've been looking for a song I heard on a program on NOW Channel for years now. All I remember, somehow, are the last two verses, which went something like this "I am your darker side within, everyone/The Winter Man" and stop. It's not a whole lot to go on, but if anyone can help me it's appreciated.

I've been looking for this for a while. A long time ago, possibly even before the internet, my dad found a list someone had compiled of all the things that Charles Ingalls, from the Little House of the Prairie books, was described as being able to do at least competently. It was impressively long, over 40 discreet items as I remember. It might have been from the front of Harpers magazine.

A blog post from around 2002. A guy was describing the process of getting a stag's head tattooed on either his left or right pectoral. He emailed the artist of the stag drawing or painting to ask permission to get it tattooed and the artist agreed. His next couple of photos were concept art of how to tattoo would look as well as different sizes, next to a ruler. I've searched for this off and on the past twenty years but many many people have gotten stag heads tattooed on their chests in the years since. It's possible that this was on livejournal because I spent a lot of time on this site around 2002.

Growing up, my mother bought some kid's activities books. These were shortish books probably no more than 30 pages, and each book was a different color of the rainbow. I want to say that there were 40 books or so. And I would guess sometime in the 70s or so for publication based on the illustrations.

Spooky train art. There was a website with a bunch of digital art, most of which had something to do with subways or street car type trains. The one I remember most vividly had two people (maybe holding each other) on a train platform with a single street lamp overhead, surrounded by a dark void. The platform was suspended by a metal pole and there was no where to go except wait for the train. Another was a subway train crawling from a tunnel like a caterpillar and I think it was eating up the grass on the ground, or maybe it was eating the tracks. Anyway the art was so spooky it still invades my nightmares sometimes.

This is a follow-up to a post from a while back about the cat answering machine message. I actually found the message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWyRVZ0s5tg&t=190s It occurred to me while watching classic commercials on Youtube (yeah, I'm weird) that the cat in my answering message was very much like Morris the Cat (a spokescat I had completely forgotten about). e: Another update. I found the "good breakfast" commercial I asked about three-ish years ago. It was a Trident ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wf8acG7oS0 F_Shit_Fitzgerald fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Apr 21, 2023 |

I'm looking for something called October electro. It's a mash up of electronic covers of songs. It was posted on something awful awful years ago and I haven't been able to find it. It had American boy, crystal castles, etc. If anyone can help it would make my roommates day. Window Kisser fucked around with this message at 08:39 on Apr 14, 2023 |

I've been trying to find the first 'horror' or 'scary' movie I ever watched. I watched it when I was like maybe 12 or early teens in early 2010s I think. I want to say it revolved mainly around a group of kids that were around 10 years old, and there was this 'monster' that lived in the tunnels under the town and would come out and kill people. I think the kids or one of them at least explores the tunnels towards the end (or they might have been throughout much of the movie actually) and finds the monster and it is revealed its like some guy that is maybe quite physically scarred or something and mentally not all there and was maybe abused or shunned in the past or something and that's why he is some murderous guy living in the tunnels now??? I remember a VERY significant side plot is that one of the kids is in a single parent household, his mom being the single parent, and the mom is revealed to be like..... sexually abusive towards him I think? I watched this as a kid and I don't think I realised the gravity of how hosed up that was at the time and how badly the movie probably dealt with such a serious topic like that. I might be misremembering parts but I don't think anything major. I haven't been able to find anything by searching for horror movies for underground tunnels or horror movies where children are abused or anything, so I feel like someone is only gonna be able to get this if they also saw the movie but actually remember what its called. I'd really love to be able to find it because it actually seemed to have some interesting themes/topics but I am almost SURE that it was some incredibly crappy b-movie that did not deal with the themes well at all.

About 10-12 years ago, a goon made a thread about a box of slides they bought at an antique or pawn shop for next to nothing (although I’m also thinking they found the box at a deceased relative’s home they were cleaning out). They scanned and digitized almost all of them and found the slides to be from some sort of promotional parade put on by Budweiser beer, and from the looks of the era, it was circa 1980-1984. It was like a small town parade with Budweiser logos and cans visible everywhere and I think even the Clydesdale horses were in some pictures. It was an interesting time capsule of the early ‘80s and I’m certain the pictures were probably on Waffleimages and no longer exist, but does anyone remember this thread?

When I was in middle school (we're talkin... late 80s?) our music teacher played a song that was supposed to teach you what Measures meant. It might've been a video, or even one of those beep beep manually advanced filmstrips, or just a record. Anyway there was a male voiceover that said, "MEASURE IN THREE!" and then it played a kind of boppy easy listening song. The voice goes, "MEASURE IN FOUR!" and the song changes accordingly. I want to hear that song again! Anyone???

It was a simulation!". I couldn't find what he was talking about, any ideas?

Some western where they do that thing where they turn in a bounty to be executed and shoot the rope so they can escape but for some reason they don't shoot this time, they might have been stopped. Gonna laugh if it was one of the obvious ones
