A song I've been looking for for years. Might have been on a punk-o-rama compilation but I've listened to most of them and couldn't find it. Kind of sunny undistorted guitar with a ridiculously gruff Oi guy singing. Probably 1997-2001??? I know that it's on some compilation. I can't remember any lyrics I just remember how funny I thought the juxtaposition of the music and guy's voice was.

actionjackson posted:what's that really well known epic choral song where you have the chorus that says the same thing (prob in Latin, there's four words dun-dun-dun-dun) over and over but they get louder over time, from a whisper to the point at which they are practically yelling? and then there's a huge orchestral ending. I believe you're thinking of the song "Bye Bye Bye" by N*Sync

rodbeard posted:I'm trying to remember the name of a really lovely old PC platformer I played probably in the mid to late 90s. It had one of the weirdest design flaws I've ever seen. Whenever you scrolled the screen it just showed you garbage data unless you went into the menu and back out again. The programmer's solution to this was to have this demonstrated by the game's demo that autoplays in the main menu so you know it's supposed to look like that. NO ONE CHANGE THIS POSTER'S AVATAR.

Late 90's/Early 2000's spanish language talk show. Either univision or telemundo, I think. The only thing that I remember EXTREMELY VIVIDLY is that the entire audience was made up of people who were, for lack of a better term, mega ugly. The audience was seriously like a freakshow. Would love to find that show again.

The rest of the internet thinks it's impossible but can anyone find more than one episode of Old Friends... New Friends? It's an interview show Fred Rogers did in the 80's(?). I can find a single episode out of 24. I know it's the longest of long shots but uh, can any of you find them?

Does anyone have this? Can anyone tell me where to procure one of these guys' records?

I am trying to find an old typing game. I don't really remember much but you would go around and fight stuff in a medieval/fantasy setting. I would have been playing this on an old mac in the very early 90's. I know it's not but for some reason I though the name might be Dvorak Teaches Typing. Anyone remember this???

Christmas related white whale: I'm looking for a group of toys that were popular when I was a little kid (late 80's/early 90's). They were simple wooden dolls that I think are sized and shaped like "little people" toys. The most specific thing I can remember about them is that they had a train and where the tracks connected were shaped kind of like the edge of a puzzle piece. There were houses and maybe like a playground set up as well. I really want to get some of these for my little one but I CANNOT freaking find these things. Maybe they don't even exist...

Maybe swing by GiP? kupachek posted:The designation scheme is usually along the lines of "Cover, Barrel, [object name] [caliber]", in this case, I'd reckon that for a 20mm, it's probably a M1 or AN/M2 which were in use during the war by the US Army Air Forces and by the US Navy. So this all seems to start making sense when i take into account that the toolbox in question was filled with metal working and fabrication tools...

kupachek posted:Do you have a photo of the contents of the toolbox by any chance? No, I since returned it to the Old Man because he realized there was something in it he needed but I am a total idiot and didn't snap any pictures. I do remember most of the contents though. There were tap and dies, a "c" metal stamp, a variety of socket wrenches and sockets larger than any I've ever seen, pin stock for replacing machine pins, various metal boring drill bits, a couple small hammers, a gapping wrench for some king of spark plug, a few very long screw drivers, twenty or so files of all shapes and sizes, and a set of various blunt chisels. It was cool as heck and I am dumb for not taking pictures.

Mostly because he's been known to have no interest talking about stuff that happened in and around the war and, frankly, as his...uh...grandson-in-law(?) I don't ask many questions when he's like  "You want these old toolboxes???

Lost media, you say? I don't know if any of you realize this but I've been looking for episodes of the television show Old Friends, New Friends for over a year now. There seem to be only two that are in any way digitized or available. I will, no foolies, pay someone who can find me even one more episode. I know it's impossible but who better to ask than goons, right?

Dr. Quarex posted:It really makes no sense how "Old Friends, New Friends" is so inaccessible considering how amazing it is, and how relatively recent and high-profile it once was. But I guess that is what makes for interesting lost media. Though obviously from what little there is about it online I realize people were apparently not ready to enjoy it yet back then Fred is actually a pretty intense guy and he asks adults the same kinds of questions he'd ask a child. It's jarring to say the least. But drat it's so engaging.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:quite possibly, and I do not say this happily, redditors Been there, done that. That's where I first heard about the two episodes that are available via inter-library loan as the earlier goon was talking about. Problem is that no one can get them so in essence even those two are gone too. The only real hope I can think of is if the estate releases the originals. I keep trying here though since I know there are a lot of goons with weird and often fortuitous connections.

Okay, here's one that someone will probably get instantly: A nickelodeon show, somewhere between '90 and probably '96. It was a documentary that featured a bunch of shots of the interior of a school. It was about kids/teens that suffered from, I guess, depression. Like they were suicidal or something like that. This has to be a real thing and not a dream. It was maybe? done in an all interview format.

If it’s the latter, it sounds like something they might have done under the Nick News (with Linda Ellerbee!) banner - I recall them doing a special explaining the Clinton impeachment. I think it was a special. The nick news thing sounds right but I don't remember anything aesthetically that would give that away.
