Yeah, they're one of my favorite urbex channels on Youtube. I just wish they had done a 'works cited' at the end or something. Maybe I'll see if No Music knows the song...

I’m looking for a story that the teacher read to the class when I was a kid. The details are fairly fuzzy, but maybe somebody can help. This would have been late 80s, early 90s. It was a short story about a kid that either travels in time or space travel. The kid eventually makes it back home, but the mother has aged while they was gone and is now elderly. The illustration accompanying the text reminded me of a statue in a graveyard, but that might be dumb little kid logic. I don’t remember the gender of the kid and it might have been a brother and sister.

A few years ago I was in a Habitat store and saw a smaller electric range/oven (burners, oven, etc.) that seemed to have wheels on the bottom instead of feet (this might have been a modification). The REAL oddity about this was that it seemed to be running on 120V instead of 208-240V, which I've never been able to find an actual oven that is like this. I think some in-wall ovens have 120v versions, but this wasn't that. I recalled that it seemed fairly old, though. It wasn't a countertop oven or anything, it appeared to be a regular oven with burners, maybe a little bigger than the size of one of those apartment ovens. I've looked and looked, but just about every hit I get is wall oven, countertop, or the cord is just to power various electrical components of the gas stove, and this was electric. edit: I'll leave the question up because I took one more stab at it and found something like it on eBay that lists 120v. But looking up the model number information of the item online shows 200v+ on other sites. JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Dec 13, 2023 |

Ah, I know this (I think) but the story I'm thinking of was in a really small book, that was part of a big collection we had at school that were just referred to as "five minute reads". They were all similar kind of, twilight zone, single gimmick "what if?" books, mostly sci fi. They all had a bold (different) colour and then a hand illustrated cover, but beyond that I couldn't tell you a single thing about them, and my cursory googling suggests that "five minute reads" might have been a name that Mrs. Phillips came up with herself. Sorry.

I'm reminded of reading a collection of sci-fi stories for kids in the early 90s at the school library. All the stories had a dystopian/spooky theme. Of those I recall, one was with a pair of kids living on an ice planet, where summer happens when the local sun thaws a small patch of the planet for a short while. The kids have made it a game to calculate where the thawed patch shows up, and the younger precocious one has a track record of getting it right. Except he gets it wrong this year, and he can't handle it so he runs away into the dark and cold and they never find him. Another was with a scientific expedition loking for alien life setting down on a desolate planet to look for evidence. There is a bit back and forth between a senior and junior scientist if this dead dirtball really is a good spot to dig, but they set the robots digging and sure enough they start finding skeletons. An analysis of a skull helps them create a model of the aliens' speech, and upon playback the model starts lising off names of car brands. It was Earth all along and the scientists are the aliens. A more dystopic one is with a clever kid who goes to a hiring agency for an interview. On his way there he meets a friend leaving the agency, lamenting the tests are difficult. Most of the story is a conversation between the kid and the interviewer who becomes more and more despondent as the story progresses and the kid gets all the questions right, and with the kid noticing the sound of machinery slowly spooling up on the floor beneath. At the conclusion of the interview the kid is asked to wait a moment in an adjoining room, from where he then is teleported into a small holding pen orbiting the moon. The interviewer talks to him over the radio, lamenting his situation as clever people are a threat to society but since he aced the test he's allowed a small respite to enjoy the view. Out a viewing port the kid sees skulls or skeletons also in orbit around the moon. The story concludes with the door opening and the kid being sucked into space.

This one could be The Vacancy, which you can read here.

Thanks! a friendly penguin posted:This one, if you skew the details slightly, sounds like All Summer in a day by Ray Bradbury. Thanks for putting in the effort but this isn't it based on its synopsis. I think the kids in my story were brothers, and they wore space suits because the young one turned off his suit's radio when he ran away.

Maybe I'm not the kind of person to be excited by tattoo ideas anyway, but for what it's worth I would think on getting a tattoo of a living person who might yet turn out to be some kind of awful creep

Rossellini herself stated that she might have been naked a lot, but she never felt more respected, more safe, or more cared for on a film set. This pattern has continued throughout the rest of Lynch’s work. He’s not a creep. edit: to be clear you’re not wrong to be concerned in general, it’s just not something you need to worry about for David Lynch.

If the subject of your celebrity tattoo turns out to be a sex pest, you simply get the "no" symbol tattooed over it, so people know where you stand on the issue.

Not really a white whale but my mind is drawing a blank. Movie intended for kids, early to mid 80s I think. As usual, aliens have been listening to our broadcasts, using them to learn about Earth and its inhabitants, come to visit. There's a scene where this big green bug-like alien wastes something like six days (at least that's what it feels like) just quoting and reenacting greatest-hits TV shows from the 50s and 60s on a stage, for some reason. Howdy Doody, Li'l Rascals kind of stuff that no kid in the 80s would care about, or find remotely entertaining. What's this movie? Just in case someone proposes putting it on, I need to prevent that. Related, is there a term of art for directors who want to sell their childhood memories to subsequent generations like this? My teenage years in the 80s were poisoned by like Lucas and Spielberg shoving '57 Chevies and jukeboxes down our throats. But I guess there's shows like Stranger Things now, which I hear is set in the 80s. So there's some Gen X Spielbergs out there carrying the flag.
