I'm looking for a picture of a girl thats wearing glasses, and on the picture it says something like "I'm a nerd", and below that on the picture it says something along the lines of "CALM DOWN, YOU'RE JUST SOME DUMB BITCH WHO FOUND SOME GLASSES". I've looked and searched that but I can't actually find it anywhere, also I thought I had it but apparently I don't. I need it because this chick I know is doing the same thing. Thanks.

There was a site that had videos of people posing for a camera. But instead of taking the picture, they just started recording video and proceed to stall and delay. The posing people would slowly try to hold the pose and get really uncomfortable.

I couldn't ever find it again. Anybody know if it's still around?

What's really "funny" about that picture is that it's probably just some random girl who wears glasses but doesn't think of herself as a nerd, but she still gets called a whore just for having the gall to wear glasses.

You're right. Well, she might be a hipster, or maybe she's pretending to be a nerd, and either way she looks pretentious and annoying. I guess I'm a white knight for thinking she shouldn't immediately be labelled a whore just for wearing fake glasses in one single photo.

Pre-internet junk, but I am trying really hard to find a Youtube of a TV ad from the 80s, maybe early 90s. I think it was for Crispy Crunch, but I could be wrong -- some kind of chocolate bar at least. It had a crimped-haired schoolgirl in uniform, and the music was (probably, but maybe a cover of) Van Halen's version of "You Really Got Me". If there's a better thread to ask in, thanks in advance.

I can't seem to re-find a video from the earlier days of SA, I can't remember who it was by but it was a wonderful tribute to internet videos before youtube was a household name. The worst garbage videos you'd find cross-cut with a horrible band practice, a guy being buried wrapped in plastic while a cheery jewish guy is singing shalom, peace be with you, I watched it so many times but lost it in a disk crash. I need it, please. I think it was called "tribute to internet videos".

I once enjoyed a video on YouTube, that was a compilation of Doctor Who scenes (both classic and current series) of Daleks exterminating people. It was overlayed with a deathmetal soundtrack (can't remember the band sadly) and worked really well. I think it was put out in 2008 or '09.

Once upon a time when I was but a wee nerd with dial-up, I got all my violent video games from AOL Games. In the mid-to-late 1990s the AOL browser had an incredible shareware section with demos for Heretic, Strife, Rise of the Triad, et cetera. However they also had some cool RPGs and stuff that I've never been able to remember what it was called. Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the games they hosted there, so I can track them down from GOG or something?

So, this seems like the right thread to see if anyone knows if there is an archive of this poo poo.

I've been hunting for awhile this article, I think from the site Sweat Fancy Moses, called "Kill Self With Nail Gun" or something like that, where it starts with a basic description of someone who cut off their hand with a saw, and then decided to kill themselves with a nail gun. It then goes on to speculate what went through his head to inspire that: "Oh my god, my hand! Wait, suddenly I know what the sound of one hand clapping is! I don't know how to live with that knowledge!" *Kill Self With Nail Gun*

It's better written than than that vague recollection (I hope)

I remember several years ago when Melee Beats released a bunch of his albums on here for free download. I have all but one of them, his first album Bel Esteem. Had it on an old mp3 player that died and can not find it on any of my old back up cds and trying to find it through google just links to reviews or shady websites they try to make you download a exe file. If anyone can point me to the right direction would be great.

I figured this wouldnt be a :filez: request because the artist released them on the site before and also the way it looks you can buy it anywhere!


That leads me to another question. Has there ever been like a website that collects all the free albums that goons released onto the forums over the years?

I'm looking for what should have been a series of doctor who regeneration iterations (William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, etc.) that have been reimagined into a more realistic viewpoint.
They are written texts, and came out around April of last year. I hope the authors continued to write more but google, bing, and yahoo haven't shown me anything relevant. I would expect there to be at least 9-10 other similar writings if they kept writing.
The text:

quote:

William Hartnell: Every day is exactly the same. Talking about places. Talking about time. Talking about science. All this talk. Hang out at home, chatter with friends, day in, day out. Events come and go. The wife. The kids. The grandkids.

This is stupid.

Let's get the hell out of here.

How do you escape conformity? How do you escape the life so carefully constructed? Don't we all struggle with that? Isn't the danger of life, more terrifying than any natural disaster, more soul-crushing than any defeat, the realisation that your entire life has passed you by without a single, solitary moment in the sun?

Others speak of stability, of harmony, of control. Keeping the wolf from the door. Everyone who says this, I promise you, has never fought a wolf.

Neither have you, of course, but you have to get out of here, or else you know how your life ends. Eons pass and they might as well have never happened.

Anybody who would rebel against everything, drop the whole world and run like hell, they wouldn't do it alone. There has to be someone. Exploring alone, venturing out alone, what's the point? There's nobody to hear of your travels. Nobody to share the burden with. Nobody to take the wheel. You look at the other side of the vehicle and sigh when you notice that there's nobody there. That's no way to be.

Bring the girl.

It's every man's dream, whether it's your adventurous cousin, the girl who hates her job and wants to pick a direction and GO, the chick from the bar who has money in her pocket and an itch to spend it. The routine is what kills you. Sitting around the house and doing nothing. THAT'S how you grow old.

You bring the girl. You steal the vehicle. Nobody will notice. It was gonna be junked in the morning anyway. That's alright, though. You know a bit of mechanics. It may not purr like it should, but you can make it breathe. You can make it yours.

So you go somewhere else for a time. Where? Anywhere. But you're freaking out, aren't you? Oh poo poo. Oh poo poo. They're gonna find us, aren't they? They're gonna impound the ride, take you in, put you on trial, and that'll be it. A fate worse than you'd have had just sitting at home doing nothing. A moment's high for a lifetime's low. So you hide. Time to make a cover. Let's meet the natives.

The natives are confused. You're not one of them. They always know. Small towns can spot you because nobody has a rumor of whom you've slept with. Big cities can spot you because you don't fit into the culture, any culture. There's always one for you, but what if there isn't? What if you talk like you're from another planet?

They'll take interest. They'll follow you.

And now they're part of it. You didn't want to abduct them, but you had no choice. Your cover was blown. Run for it!

And now you don't know what to do. They need to get home. But you can't seem to quite place it. You keep trying, and you keep getting the ballpark right, but it's a big world. Lots of places to land. Lots of events to discover. But this is what YOU signed up for. You wanted to see! You wanted to know! So you saw. And you knew. You learned about the universe, for better and for worse. You learned about yourself, for better and for worse. A good road trip can teach you so many things about yourself.

You get them home eventually. And what stories they'll have. They got to get out too. And they can rejoin the routine, but not quite in the way they ever could. They know the world they've seen is tiny. It's not worth taking seriously. They'll have more fun now. They'll breathe.

You'll always be the gypsy, but you learn that the folks you meet along the way can settle.

It's not always about fighting. That's not you. You just want to explore. You're finding your feet. You don't act like you know, because you DON'T. The travelers change. Some enter, some leave. But you're getting the hang of this. You try to leave the places you visit a little better than you found them. Sometimes, of course, you just try to run like hell and get out of Dodge while you still can.

Sometimes, you can't just escape, though. Your body wears out. People beat it up. Friends, foes, the lot. They take their toll, especially if you don't rest. One day, you crash. You just need to rest awhile, don't you. Because you can't keep going forever.

So you change your style. You change your outlook. gently caress's sake, you change everything.

Your friends won't even recognize you.
