A couple youtube threads ago, someone posted this white college kid playing a Dock Boggs song on Banjo and singing with a crazy deep voice. I can't remember what it's called and searching for dock boggs on youtube brings up a lot of videos that aren't what I'm looking for.

I believe I was looking in a thread a long time ago with random cool things from history. One thing I enjoyed in particular was this artist who did portraits which had very modern "mannerisms." It was like the portrait subject was someone from now stuck in 19th century. This is probably the most vague description...anyone know what I'm talking about?

I remember a video from maybe a couple years back, it showed some really drunk guy at a a festival one time. He kept stumbling around and trying to hit on girls. I think in one of the scenes it shows him sliding in a ton of mud while people cheer for him. It was decent video quality; recorded with a phone or something like that. The guy had a name though, it was in the title.

Sounds like it could be Tobi, a drunk off his rear end Swede (I think) at Roskilde Festival in 2007, the wettest year since they started in 1970. I was there, it was pretty bad.

If not that one, youtubing Roskilde 2007 should give you plenty of muddy people.

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.

Oh no!! The girl is a fake nerd whatever will we do? How can this injustice stand when true nerds like you and I are unrecognized for our amazing nerdery!!?

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?

It might be this:

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 am looking for a youtube that someone made of "The Deer Hunter" where it replays the russian roulette scene and somehow makes it funny. I can't seem to find it, despite looking for it for an hour.

The scene in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCW9NsrV6VM


EDIT: The guy keeps yelling "MICKEY MICKEY" and almost the entire sequence replays with DeNiro and Walken again as a dream in DeNiro's head,

It's probably this:

A couple of pages ago, but the video was from a 2007 GBS thread by MrSpiffy called My roommate Brian. The Shawshank video was called "crazy Shawshank alternate ending!!!" and was uploaded May 04, 2006 by dhollister.

"The Deer Hunter" one can be found here (not youtube). It went under the video name "Deer Hunter Russian Roulette Scene - Director's Cut".

I think contacting Brian is the only way anyone will find the Shawshank one at this point though. :(

Edit: My grammar went out the window

There was once an incredibly funny and slightly sarcastic post or a story SOMEWHERE I read, though I'm not sure if it was on SA that I saw it, which was basically extrapolating from some "what if" someone once posed. All I remember of it is that in the end Zoroastrianism became the dominant world religion instead of Christianity, with America being majority Zoroastrian and the Cult of Isis surviving to the modern day, and the author ends his post with something like "All hail Ahura Mazda".

I dunno if it's this:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120122104028AAMXmrC

quote:

Christians, what if you're wrong about Ahura Mazda?

Best Answer:
It has been conjectured that during the Babylonian captivity, the Jews exiled in Babylon picked up some Zoroastrian doctrine from their Median/Persian masters and incorporated into Judaism (and by extension Christianity). Doctrines such as a beneficial all-powerful Creator single God (Ahura Mazda) in constant conflict with a Prince of Darkness "Ahriman" for the souls of humanity. At the ends time, Ahura Mazda will defeat Ahriman and usher in a Golden Age.

Other answers:
All hail the upholder of Arta, God of light and wisdom!

I lost my laptop and wanted to show my son some of the Captain America cartoons that I first saw here on SA. The ones like where he comes out of a toilet and a dumpster and fucks people up.

It's not an emergency or anything, but trying to make a 16yr-old laugh is harder than it sounds :-).

There was a short youtube video back in the day. It was less than 10 seconds long and looked like it was ripped from an old VHS tape. It consisted of a claymation head with human eyes shouting "NoooOOOO NOOOooo" in a distorted voice. Good luck finding Shouting Claymation Head on youtube. I think it was in the same vein as that Mark Twain Satan claymation video, or at least those two videos ran in the same circle.

I don't know it, but have you tried looking for Will Vinton (who did the Mark Twain movie) clips or on google image search?

Could it be somewhere in this one?
