I think it was colored green camo. "Crossbolt" from the toyline Megaforce! All those Megaforce vehicles were amazing. Edit: Oops beaten by a while, my bad!

It's just the right level of indie to have heard once on the alternative station's indie hour. I have no idea how it got twisted around in my head that it was about James Cameron. Thinking back, David Duchovny makes more sense based on my friend I heard the song with who went wild for it. Thanks!

A website that I'm sure I was linked to from these forums. It has chat logs of a conversation between some dweeb guy who keeps posting some type of emoji after everything he says and a girl he likes. I can't actually remember anything else, just the guy posting something like this (●´ω｀●) all the time.

A novel I read in the '90s. Arabian Nights type setting. A teenage girl runs away from her guardian to look for her parents who disappeared during a journey. She has a bad stutter. Dressing as a boy, and playing a magical harp she meets various people and have adventures. Among them a lady who tells her she had time travelled to a big city where it was never dark, the floors were softs to walk on, and a man offered her "frozen vanilla pudding on a stick" from a "magical cupboard". Also something about a man falling in love with a water spirit, which turns out to be the reflection of the girl hiding in a tree.

I've been trying to find a Conan O'Brien intro that goes like : "Last time on Conan O'Brien" and then it shows a bunch of made up clips from previous episodes where Andy was poisoned, and generally a bunch of evil behind the scenes/backstabbing stuff was going on, like the show was Dallas or something. It wasn't during the TBS era, it was older than that. Failing that, there's a show when he went to California and Andy sleeps with the actress Conan wants, that's another one I haven't seen in forever.

When I was a kid, my mom had a book that I remember reading one summer. it was a compilation of dark stories, not horror exactly, just with seams of betrayal and murder and stuff like that. I have tried to figure out the name of this book for years but I have nothing to go on except for dim recollections of three of the stories that were in the book. One, that I believe was the first story in the book, told the story of a young girl brought to her headmistress's office at the boarding school she attended. She was accused of drawing some graffiti on the wall of one of the classrooms that showed the headmistress herself and one of the teachers going at it. The term "in loco parentis" was used often in the story. At the end of the story, the headmistress examines the students hands to find that while they're covered in paint, it isn't the color that the graffiti was painted in. She's dismissed and the student returns back to her dorm room, where she goes to wash her hands, revealing that she has used a different color paint to hide the stains of the incriminating color already on her hands. The other story that I remember, is an incredibly, incredibly English story of a woman who has a very handsome baby, who she has named some ridiculous thing like Schubert or Pubert or whatever. She enters him in contests in pageants and he appears in commercials and he is given some title like "England's most beautiful baby" or something like that. She had some weird things going on with her mentally but I do not remember the specifics, only her having a confrontation with him when he's grown up. I remember the tone of the story more clearly than the others, but I cannot remember any details other than that. The final story that I remember, involved two identical twin sisters, one who was more outgoing and popular, and the other who was mousier and resentful. The popular twin conspired with her boyfriend to arrange the death of the mousy one, but it backfired and the mousy ended up finding out about the whole plot and assumed her sister's identity. I remember that the perfume Cinnabar played a significant part in some part of the story. Seriously, if any of you guys can identify at least one of these stories so that I can at least read it again, I will be so impressed. I have searched extensively for any trace of the book or any of these stories and I haven't been able to figure anything out.

Reposting this one I posted last year in hopes that someone will recognize it: Bold Robot posted:I've been trying to find an adventure game that I got on a MacAddict demo disc in the late 1990s. It was one of those games where you typed in commands like "look north," "search desk" and had black-and-white Manhole-style graphics. The plot was something like, you wake up in your house to go about your normal day, but weird stuff happens. I distinctly remember that you could encounter Busta Rhymes and if you got into combat with him, he would blow weed smoke in your face and you would lose health. You could also encounter an alien.

I'm trying to find the source for this amazing cheese story. In Manhattan/Long Island during the revolutionary war, a patriot dude was fleeing from the invading British, so he buried his most prized possessions in the garden. Chief among those possessions was a wheel of Parmesan cheese. The guy comes back 4 years later to find his house robbed/burnt down/something, but he digs up the cheese and it's totally fine. Can anyone help me find a source for this?

Can you give us an approximation of the year you read it? That'll help whittle away anything published after that. Also, probably a stupid question, but have you asked The Book Barn? They've got a dedicated "identify this book/story for me" thread stickied there. If someone can nail down one of the stories, it might lead you to finding the whole book.

I honestly can't find ANYTHING else about buried cheese out there; old-timey London ---> old-timey Manhattan seems like a logical memory jump...

Samuel Pepys diary, Sept 4 1666quote:Sir W. Batten not knowing how to remove his wine, did dig a pit in the garden, and laid it in there; and I took the opportunity of laying all the papers of my office that I could not otherwise dispose of. And in the evening Sir W. Pen and I did dig another, and put our wine in it; and I my Parmazan cheese, as well as my wine and some other things. His house ended up surviving the fire though.

BROS, a very old rear end youtube video probably 2007-ish. The video in question showed the title screen to a bootleg Super Mario Bros. game titled "BROS" with horrific compressed music on par with the crazy bus theme. The palette was greenish and it had a ton of "video responses" back when that was a thing on YouTube. Probably cause Youtube Gangs used to do that. The Super Mario Bros. title screen for reference:

Over the past couple weeks I read through the whole thread before making a request of my own, hoping there was something I could help with but I guess I just don’t know a lot. Mine is an old cartoon segment from what was probably Pinwheel (a children’s show on Nickelodeon in the 80s that had these knock-off muppet segments and then they would show these cartoon segments which I think were probably mostly cheap to broadcast European things) The cartoon segment I am looking for is about a baby goat who doesn’t want to grow up. He gets these lumps in his head where his horns are going to come in but he puts tape over them to try to keep them from growing out. That’s all I remember. There is a small chance that it was Sesame Street and not pinwheel, since that show also had little segments too. I’ve looked at all of the “PINWHEEL FULL EPISODE” videos on YouTube and it’s not in any of those. Edit: this would have been 1983-1987 when I would have watched it but the cartoon might be older, as a lot of the stuff on that show was.

A short history channel or TLC or discovery channel parody video about mining. The narrator has a overdone movie trailer voiceover type voice, with lines like "We're gonna dig a biiig loving hole" and "Look how big this loving hole is, gently caress yeah!" It's pretty much ungoogleable apparently, and me not being able to find it has haunted me for a decade now.

Back around 2002 or 2003 I saw a thing on the internet with a pair of boots singing/talking over a simple beat. The lyrics went something like, "I'm boots, you know that's the troots, I'm boots". There was more to it, but that's what I remember best. It continues on from there, the boots had kind of an attitude and maybe made threats about what they would do if you didn't believe them. The boots were a drawing, and they were minimally animated. I remember thinking that the voice sounded like H. Jon Benjamin. I just did some fresh googling on it and I found almost nothing. The one thing I found is what I'm pretty sure is a reference to it on someone's blog from 2005. http://becklectic.blogspot.com/2005/02/what-strange-thing-to-say-as-you-pass.html?m=0 quote:H. Jon Benjamin = human version As soon as I read that I was 99% sure that "I'm boots, I just shot you" is how the song ends, but googling that brings up nothing. Funnily enough, it doesn't even bring up that blog (which I found by googling "I'm boots" and "h Jon Benjamin").

PIZZA.BAT posted:Oh gently caress I thought of one. I was on a long distance drive and while bored out of my skull started scanning the radio channels. I want to say this was on some NPR station because who else would do this but there was a narrator telling a story about a spy who was under cover in the soviet union and falling in love with another spy. It sounds cheesy but it was a really compelling love story and I think I lost reception or something happened that I wasn't able to hear how the story ended. This was probably around 2008-2011. The key component was that the guy's handler knew he was in a sexual relationship and was coaching him on not falling in love and the guy was telling himself he wasn't while he actually was. Was this The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, by John LeCarre? They did a audio play of it, its possible they played it on the air and that is what you hear. From what you are describing, that's the plot of the book.
