I was going to start a thread about this, but (luckily) I re-read the rules and as far as I can tell I would be the only person to benefit from the answer, and it probably wouldn't make much of a thread, so here goes! Is there any way to figure out what the music playing on this site is? http://web.archive.org/web/20011217000142/http://tsbolton.com/bertramslair/ I'm fairly certain it isn't from the game (Redneck Rampage, I played it years ago but I don't recall hearing this tune), and I don't see it credited anywhere. I had to find an archived page of the site, as it is no more. I started out by writing to the old owner's (TSBolton) friend, Jon Hunt, at his Redneck Rampage site (Redneck Rampage home-made levels, etc.); http://www.jonhunt.com/redneck/ Apparently, Mr. Bolton has dropped out of contact and his email account died with the site. Mr. Hunt was nice enough to write me back after I asked him if he could ask T.S.. He also told me about the wayback machine for searching, which is how I found the link up there. So, at least I can listen to the loop again. Searching youtube, I found around eight tracks of music that must have come from a CD about the game, but again, not the music that's playing on the site. I'm at a loss as to how to find out what it is, and by whom.

Pogo the Clown posted:Here's the link to the music file itself, if that helps at all: Thanks for trying. For now I'll just content myself with the archived site, maybe TSBolton will reappear one day. Wagonburner I don't know for sure, but my guess would be that the "Bottle Drunk" thing is more that hard liquor comes in bottles, like Whiskey and Vodka. Like; "He drank an entire bottle" is how drunk he was.

The Geoff posted:Also, some vinegar slopped on the (laminated wood) coffee table and it's stained parts of the table a whitish colour. Can I reverse this? Check hardware stores/ craft stores or Wal Mart kinds of places for furniture markers. Usually you can find sets of them or them being sold separately. Get one that matches the color and basically you just "color" over the stained parts then let it dry and buff with a cloth. If you can't find any of them, get some colored markers and try to match the color as best you can. The furniture ones are really just industrial strength permanent markers anyway, so there's not a whole lot of difference between them.

Many years ago, a good friend of mine was going off to Prison and we had a nice send off for him. I gave him a "Get out of Jail, Free" card from Monopoly, and he's kept it in his wallet ever since, haha.

ChubbyEmoBabe posted:On that topic I'll ask again: Anyone know the deal with the forums gift certificate or buying others upgrades avatars? I'm not sure what you mean by "the deal" with them...I assume you just click on whichever and input your credit card number, and the email address of where the cert. is going? If you are buying someone else an avatar or what have you, it's the same deal only you would input the username and upload the image/write the text. I imagine it's pretty straightforward, though I've never done it (yet, muhaha!). I was gifted this account, and it came by email, if that helps. If someone didn't know the email was coming, they might have it in their junk mail.

Rankine Over Gash posted:My girlfriends' housemate has come back to the flat a bit giddy. He's found a large amount of money in notes on the pavement (three figures) and is rather excited. However, without wanting to piss off any Karma Gods, we've all agreed he should notify the local police that he has found it. Am I correct in assuming there's a set time for it to be claimed before it becomes finders keepers? Any help or experience in this matter would be appreciated. He should just keep it. There's no "bad Karma" involved in random chance like that, it isn't as if he stole it. If anything, the Universe has obviously just tossed that stuff into his lap..."Don't look a gift horse in the mouth". If it were a wallet, or on the steps to someone's house, then it might be a different story. Edit; I say this because once I found over a hundred bucks in an envelope and yeah, I spent that money (gave some away as well).

If a guy was to very slowly swallow a very long piece of unbroken twine, suppressing his gag reflex the entire time, could he end up with one end of the string coming out of his butt and the other still sticking out of his mouth? Yes. It's done with cloth as a cleansing ritual by some people. Slooooooowly swallowing a very long bit of cloth. I think it's also coated in something, like oil?

Well, obviously he wasn't being a dick about it because he clearly stated he wanted him to have his question answered, before suicide. I really just wanted to post about making a Oil drum/barrel into a fireplace; you should poke a few air holes along the bottom, an inch or two off the ground. It's also a good idea to toss a cinder block or two in there to keep the fire aloft a little bit and help air flow.

TremendousMajestic posted:I'm trying to buy someone a gift card online. Ideally, it'd be like a same as cash Visa card or similar, but many of those sites seem to require actually physically sending it to the person. I don't know their home address and I'd rather not ask them, as i want it to be a surprise. Is there anywhere I can buy a gift card that they can redeem and claim using their email or a login that gets emailed to them or something like that? I just did this very thing yesterday, on Amazon. A gift card that's an email. The only problem I could see would be if the recipient didn't know it was coming and it went into the junk mail.

CowGuy posted:How do I get this green cord to the other end of my ceiling? If you haven't already gotten a bunch of answers, you can lightly coil the cord and throw it. I'm assuming that's a drop ceiling I'm looking at, so you will likely repeat this process a couple times. You can also use a ball of twine/string and lob that to the other end, tie it off to your cord and then pull it over there. Once, when running phone lines, we used a toy bow and arrow to shoot some string across a similar expanse.

Golbez posted:I have a nascent ear infection coming on that I've been trying to stave off. I've been popping sugar-free cough drops like tic-tacs the last two days, mostly for comfort but also to cut down on coughing. I went through a whole bag of 25 in one day. Could having this much mentholyptus (and whatever else) in my system potentially be bad? I doubt it, but honestly I don't know the answer to that question. The bag would have some sort of warning if there were a chance of O.D., I'd assume. What I wanted to say was I think you should get some sudafed (or similar stuff) and use that, not cough drops.

A few years ago I had a stopped up feeling ear that I just ignored for a week or two and it ended up bursting my ear drum.  The Doc told me I was prone to ear infections and should use sudafed when there was an issue, so I thought I should pass it along. Bursting ear drums are not a pleasant feeling.

Speaking of Best Buy, anyone ever work in one? I wonder if they train the staff to treat everyone like a criminal or if it's just me? I've been to ours maybe four times and every time I get followed around and asked repeatedly if I need help. "Well, these dvds are in aphabetical order, so no...I don't need help with the alphabet, thanks". Doesn't help that the music is uncomfortably loud, either. I really avoid the place like the plague.

BorderPatrol posted:Asking someone if they need help does not not mean they think you're stealing. And I'm guessing you don't read entire posts before responding. I've worked retail, and there's a difference between offering to help someone and (as I wrote) being followed around and asked repeatedly. Actually, I've had a number of jobs waiting on the public, even the one I'm at now, and I've never followed people around a store.

It just seems odd to me. Cameras all over the place, anything you try to pocket will set off the alarms, there's someone standing at the door 24/7 and still they gotta follow you around. I figured it had to be training, since I don't think I look like I'm going to steal stuff but they watch me like hawks. Also, with my "working in retail" cred,  I can usually spot a thief. I've even given one the "I'm watching you" look and whattya know, he decided to leave. I've never worked a job with commissions, though.

Teeter posted:Man I feel so stupid for asking this, but here goes... Honestly, he's big enough that they would already have a double or three lined up. I would imagine he has at least one regular double on call. I understand you are thinking "younger him" but even that would probably be something his agent has already looked into. You could ask in the CineD subforums, as there are a fair amount of people in the biz there, who would know much more about this than I. I'm not an expert on these matters in the least, but in order to get onto film, I am pretty sure you have to be a member of the Actors Guild (I am almost certain of this if the role involves speaking) and probably some other things as well. I don't think it's as easy as "Hey this person looks like that Actor so much we'll hire them". That said, it probably wouldn't hurt to try, assuming you really are a dead ringer for him. I kinda doubt it, if you can't see it yourself though. I wouldn't try to emulate any of his roles, you would need to look enough like him outside of that to be considered, in my opinion. I mean, you either look like/resemble him or not.

Well, I am pretty sure you will hear all the horror stories from those in the know over in CineD, but I also think those who are in the business are going to have the best insights as well. Personally, I don't think it's retarded to hope or try. Why not? Youtube is one really good way these days to reach a huge audience. Especially if you do look a lot like him, that might be a good idea, combined with something funny and flavor of the week, showing up all over, and maybe something would happen. Who knows.

Are they still 'microwaving', or is it only the fan running for 2-3 seconds to cool components down for a moment or something? Ours has done that for a long time, but the amount of time it continues to go after 0 has gotten longer. I think it's a symptom that the machine is dying, myself.

Rollersnake posted:What was up with the "songs about cameras" trend around 1980 among new wave bands and progressive rock bands trying to be new wave? I mean I know there was a general tendency toward futurism and critique of commercialism and the impact of images, but is there anything more to it then that, or some more specific impetus I've overlooked? Why so many songs by so many bands specifically about cameras and photography, in the span of a couple years? Well, I don't really know for sure but video was still pretty new and MTV showing up made it so music and visuals were being meshed as never before. I don't remember there being any huge Camera fetish going on, but MTV definitly changed the way music was/is presented. "Video killed the Radio Star" was the first video played on MTV, sorta prophetic. Nobody has made a "Internet Killed the TV" song yet, have they? Someone needs to get on that.

Rollersnake posted:This was still about a year before MTV debuted. I know music videos were an emerging artform, but I dunno if that explains it either. Really the whole thing seems to have started in the late 70's and then moved into the 80's. I'm just speaking as a person who lived through the 80s, and I don't remember any specific thing that lead to the whole video/camera fetish thing (or the drat pastels). All I know is you are right, cameras and lenses did play a pretty big part in the media (across the board, really). Maybe because we were all acutely aware that we were coming up on 1984.
