This is a long shot but a while back there was a thread where people posted about how they lost their virginities. Someone posted how they lost it to Regina Spektor and the resulting incident was the inspiration to the song Samson.

Some points :

#She couldn't pronounce his surname properly so just ended up calling him Samson

#He was acting all tough when they first met but sweet at the end

#She offered him some weird food, instead he ended up just asking for a slice of wonderbread

It was a great story, slightly far fetched but totally believable. Mostly because the poster didn't realise how important his words were to Regina fans.

He actually deleted it when it got him a load of unwanted attention. So is there anyone who had the good fortune to save it before he did so?

I have no idea if this is true or not - I think it might be, but heres a post I found on a forum with an explanation...

"I doubt many people are going to believe me, but here's the story anyway. I warn you now that this is pretty long.

It was 2001 and I was celebrating my 19th birthday visiting some friends in New York City. My friends got me some "alternative forms of identification", and we got into a bar. I really hate the taste of alcohol, but I didn't want to let my friends down, so I had a few drinks.

This place was kinda dark and empty, but up against one corner of the bar was this beautiful young girl playing the piano kind of softly. Most people were talking to their friends or busy drinking a lot so she was pretty much ignored, but she sounded so beautiful that I had to get closer. Time seemed to go by incredibly fast (must have been the alcohol in my little body) but after a while I ended up being the only person listening to her. When she took a break from playing she came down and talked to me for a few minutes just about a few little things. We hit it off almost instantly as I was able to make her laugh, and I was surprised that even though she had a slightly thick Russian accent we could completely understand each other. My friends were ready to leave, but I told them I would catch up later.

She went up and sang for a little while again, and again I was the only one listening. She stopped after two more songs and came down to talk with me again. She told me all sorts of things about how her parents got her into music, how she'd lived in Russia, about all these little songs she wrote as a kid (she had hundreds).

At first I was trying to be all tough and manly, to kinda impress her.. bragging about things I had done in my life. She caught on to it, and she told me, "Listen honey. There's hundreds of strong men out there. I like men who are kind, who are honest, men who can be open with me." I switched gears from there, and it turned out she was much more happy to talk with me being myself then someone who was trying to be showy.

It was almost time to go so she got up on stage and sung one last song, she started by saying "This one's for you, honey," and pointed at me. I was amazed because I couldn't remember up to that point a girl ever being so friendly with me.

The bar was closing up and I asked to help her put her stuff away. I asked her if she had a cd that I could buy so I could hear her again. She came back with, "You don't need a cd, I'll give you a private performance. Why don't you come back to my place?" My jaw dropped to the floor, but I did my best to keep my cool.

We were driving back to her apartment and we talked for a bit more, and I realized I hadn't even asked this girl her name! I embarassingly asked her, and she told me, "That's ok, I don't know yours either. My name is Regina, Regina Spektor." I told her my last name, and because of her russian-english, she couldn't pronounce it correctly. She tried a couple times, "Samsmanskay.... Samskemansk, can I just say Samson?" I said sure, and her saying that brought us up talking about Samson the biblical figure. She told me again how she liked sensitive men and she said that maybe if Samson had cut his hair then he'd have to be more sensitive and she would like him.

Anyways we got back to her place, one of those big studios with a really high ceiling. She got the place so she could play her music all the time without people complaining. She played a few of the more softer, quieter songs which I loved. She offered me something to eat, but we got into the kitchen and she had all this weird Russian food, so I just asked her to get me a piece of wonderbread, that would be good enough.

She asked me if I was going to stay and I said I wanted to. I won't bore you with the details of the afterwards, but I'll say it was my first time and I was no stallion, but I held her for a while after. I told her how beautiful she was and how beautiful this whole night had been, but at the same time sad because I knew that I didn't live here and we couldn't have a relationship. We talked for a while about stupid little things and eventually fell asleep in each others arms.

She had another gig to go to the next day so she was off in a different direction. I thanked her as she left and she told me that she was proud to be the first girl who loved me.

I went back to my friends bragging, of course, but I figured this was girl was just one of hundreds trying desperately to make it and never succeeding. My life went on, and it never really occurred to me to look up this girl and see how she was doing, partially because I was busy with a serious relationship. Out of the blue, a few months ago she sent me a CD in the mail -- autographed, saying: "To Kyle Samsonsanssky.. I loved you first - Regina."

So now I do a google search and it turns out, wow, this girl got really popular. Even cooler than that, she wrote a song about that night! It's called Samson, and when I heard it for the first time, it brought back lots of memories.

Sadly, I've gotten married in those in-between years, so nothing will come of it. But I wrote her a nice letter telling her what's happened since that night, and telling her how happy I was that she had gotten so popular. I hope to hear back from her eventually."
People I've shown this to call shenanigans on it, :laugh:

There's an image I've lost. It's a few years old so it's likely lost to the lords of computing, but it came from a "photoshop old advertisement pictures" thread, or something similar. There's a kid in a pedal car, honking its horn at a monkey, who's jumping in surprise. It's all done in '50s style, like it came off a box full of apples or something. All the text has been redone, so it says "MOVE YER rear end you stupid loving monkey!" Then there's the name of the producer on there, something like "Davis and Schmidt - Packers of Stupid loving Monkeys"

I think I titled it something like "I went to Wharton. It should go without saying that you want to gently caress me."

There was a story posted a while back about a guy who attempted suicide in his back yard, but when he woke up there was some kind of frog growing from his dick. The frog developed magic powers (I think) and eventually gained the ability to fly. the story was really weird but ended on a positive note about meeting other people who have frogs growing from their dicks and flying around with them. Really obscure but if anyone has the story could you post it? Cheers

A while back someone started a thread that asked people to post porn of things that should never be porn. I have archives access but I can't seem to find it, there were some pretty hilarious pictures posted, mostly from deviant art of everything ranging from saturday morning cartoon porn to mythbusters porn. There was even a picture of a six titted mattress doggy styling a table. I tried to reference this thread to find a few pictures to disgust a friend of mine but never could find it.

A really really long rear end time ago, at least 5 or 6 years ago, someone (I want to say maybe Hamburglar?) made a fake geocities/tripod/angelfire/etc hosted site that was written from the viewpoint of a frat guy or something, with javascript poo poo flying all over the page and annoying graphics everywhere. But, the thing I'm specifically looking for, is there was a looping background wav that was just a simple drum loop and someone (edit: with a high-ish, nasally voice) going "Aw yeeaahh!! Aw, aw, aw yeaahh!" over and over. It was like a two second loop, if that. If anyone has that, that would be amazing.

That would be "Day of the Barney," which I remember getting from a friend of mine when we shared a high school Latin class way back in the mid-90's. If anyone is into bad sci-fi/old school B-movies you might get a kick out of this. Hating Barney also helps. Either way, your friends will know better to believe you in the future (and will also be relieved to know you're not just imagining Barney snuff sequences on your own).

One gigantic block of text from the original website. Check out jihad.net itself for more than you ever wanted to know about this person's personal vision of Barney as an evil overlord.

Wikipedia's page on anti-Barney humor, including the Jihad to Destroy Barney.



They even had target practice sheets of Barney you could print out. To this day the scene from the first sequel when the female protagonist runs Barney down in her car, then backs over him for good measure still sticks with me.

Wow, I'm actually surprised this thread still exists. I actually do have a request for something on SA that I can't find anymore.

There was this one front-page feature that I simply cannot find anymore but I'm sure it exists. Basically, there was this one thread where an argument got kind of heated (sorry, cannot remember what the argument was about). It ended up with one guy putting his rifle onto his keyboard, taking a picture (with the thread visible on the computer screen) ordering everyone to back off. What happened next was all the participants of the flame war putting nonsensical and random objects onto their keyboards and taking pictures as well. I know SpokkerJones was involved and one object someone put onto their keyboard was their cat with the post "My cat will gently caress you up!".

It was made into a front page article and I only read it once and laughed hard at everyone's comedic reaction to something that would have been serious anywhere else. I tried to find it last week by skimming the comedy goldmine but with no luck.

I'm hoping someone has it bookmarked or maybe can point me in the right direction.
