Circa early 90s Young and the Restless had a storyline of one of the main characters having a husband/boyfriend who was going through cosmetic surgery to look different to get back into their lives and kill them or something.

The two things I seem to remember was that at some point the surgery someone did on them was a success, but also someone else did a surgery on them and decided to carve them up really good and I think left the word 'murderer' on their face with a scar. It's possible this was part of that storyline.

However, depending on the time and place, it COULD have been a sci-fi. I seem to recall for years that WGN would play random shows during their morning/afternoon slots to fill out time during the 90s and 00s. The original 80s "V" TV series kind of had a prime-time soap opera feel and probably was right in there between reruns of Dukes of Hazard and In The Heat of The Night.

This is informative enough to lay my curiosity to rest. Thank you, fellow goon.

There's an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway? (US) where, after some skit, Drew Carey just shouts "Points! Grab the points!" and all four of the contestants pretend to grab flying objects out of thin air. I can't find it and easily I'm not rewatching the entire series just to track it down so I'm really hoping someone here just randomly know this :shobon:

Good luck tracking that one down. Even if someone else remembers the skit unless they happen to have it saved somewhere they're back to where you are and trying to google "whose line is it anyway + points". :smith:

Right? The exact phrasing turns nothing up and if you just try "points" you get the (admittedly, incredible) stuff like the youtube user who watched every episode to count up everyone's total points.

I'm looking for what I think was an article or possibly a youtube video on interface ergonomics. It compared an old late 80s or early 90s store inventory / order handling system that was keyboard only, vs. a modern interface based around a mouse.

The older system had a steeper learning curve but once the user learned it (which wasn't that long) it was massively faster.

The new "jellyfish UFO" craze that has popped up on r/UFO got me thinking of an old video of someone filming the road through the windshield while driving and a "ghost" walking in front of the moving car that is actually just a bird crapping on the windshield and it dripping down. I have tried searching for it but can't find it.

You can definitely get some of them out if you try a bunch of the different capture dates (eg https://web.archive.org/web/20180731141510/http://tindeck.com/listen/bnbx works but none of the other dates for that do) (also you might have to click pause and play again to get it to start) but yeah unfortunately no guarantees.

Kid's blasting everything in sight with that new-fangled musket.


Twenty years ago Channel 4 put out one of the best sit coms ever, Green Wing. My white whale is one particular song from the show, which I believe is a remix of Bran Van 3000's classic "Drinking In L.A."

You can hear the track playing in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJt0At32ALM&t=2597s

Sadly the guy (Jonathan Whitehead aka Trellis) who composed the original music for the show passed away a few years ago, and I believe it was him who did the Bran Van 3000 remix too. But it's not on the official soundtrack (available on Spotify)

Here's a hero recreating the loop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amp6GKGDkL8

But I want a full version from Trellis himself!

in case you were wondering, it's S02E33 after the first game, about five minutes in, he does indeed say "grab as many points as you can"

source: I found a wordpress site where someone was rewatching every episode and someone in the comments remarked upon it existing

Is that the one where its a bigger guy and he has blades in both hands, and he's calling out the names of his moves? Like he spins around and says SPINNING DRAGON TOOTH like he's in an anime

Ohhh, those! They were made by the Japanese dollar-store chain Daiso about ten years ago, although I'm not sure if they still carry them.

That being said, I have one, which I never use. If you want it, PM me and I'll send it to you. Hopefully it won't break in shipping.

There was a documentary around 2004-2005 I think (or at least that's when I think I watched it), in the UK, about people who had chronic seething anger. In one segment the presenter went to speak to someone whom I think looked like Bobcat Goldthwait in the Police Academy movies and asked him a question. The guy replied through his teeth "I'm not going to talk about that" whilst looking like he wanted to attack.

I've not been able to find it in years.

Thanks, but I don't think so for two reasons:

1. The thing I'm thinking of, I feel was more of a documentary on people who had a medical condition that rendered them constantly angry, with the example of the guy I mentioned trying to contain his rage over a totally calm situation.

2. I'm pressure sure I watched it in my first year of university which ran from 2004-2005, whereas the Griff Rhys Jones thing was apparently in 2008.
