Nessa posted:When I was a kid, I remember we had a tape of old cartoons from I’d guess the 50’s and one of them was about babies. It was a sing-along and had a little baby head bounce across the words as the song was sung. “Oh what a beautiful baby...” I think there was also a song about sugar and spice and everything nice. I remember scenes of storks delivering babies to homes. I wanna say it was Disney, but I have no idea. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3a8qjs (Sing-along part with bouncy baby heads comes later in the video) Enjoy, and congrats on the little one!

There was a toy or a game from the 80's that I can't find anywhere online. It was basically a building set that came with two factions or something. One was gray and blue and the other was white and red. I remember they shot blue and red flat plastic discs. I know you could make like a big walking tower or smaller vehicle like things. I asked my parents if they remember it and they do, but can't remember the name of the toy. Any ideas?

I almost popped up with that answer but I was like "big walking tower???" and that scared me away. The best thing about Crossbows & Catapults is simultaneously wanting to own a set again and also finding one single piece of it every six months for the rest of your life and realizing if you had just kept the pieces instead of throwing them away you would probably have a nearly full set

I've owned a single red Crossbows and Catapults disc starting from the very beginning of my memories but I still can't really tell you if I owned or even played the game at any point in my life. Its the most ethereal of games.

The one I'm looking for was futuristic. Also it may have been just a toy and not a game, but I seem to recall it being a game. You'd build things with the pieces. One was a walking robot with a crossbow kinda thing on it's head and another one on it's arm, but you could pretty much make what ever you wanted out of the very oddly shaped pieces. Like a weird combination of Capsela, Voltron, and Crossbows and Catapults. There were also little red and blue guys that could be positioned on all this stuff (like maybe an inch high, which is what gave everything "giant" scale). edit: Immortals of Change!

The Walrus posted:Been thinking about this one. I think it was drawn with a very stylized clean style, sort of like an airbrushed photoshop? I seem to recall that the main character or someone else breaks their leg in a very gruesome way near the beginning? Also I seem to recall that the main character's parents had some sort of secret human alter egos that were all he knew them as, but they were killed by two hitman type characters from their past. Could this possibly be Zenith by Grant Morrison? Some of the things match up...

If one of the other answers hasn't satisfied this question, you might be looking for a series of books published in the 90s by "Candlewick Press," where they created fake newspapers set in various ancient civilizations. There were definitely books on the three civilizations you mentioned.

There's a Choose Your Own Adventure book (or possibly a knock-off series) published sometime before 1987 (I could be a year or so off) that contained a scene where two kids get kidnapped on a boat, tied up and thrown overboard to their death. (This is obviously one of the bad endings.) I think there's an illustration of this happening but my memory of it is very hazy. It disturbed me so badly as a kid that my mom took it back to the store.

My dad worked for a company called Viking Freight for 20+ years before it got absorbed by other freight companies. It was a trucking company that served the western US from the 60s through the 90s. Before it got terribly corporate, they used to have shirts with a big illustration of a stereotypical viking driving a cab-over truck (flat front), with their foot smashed through the front grill of the truck, presumably accelerating hard. I've been trying to find this image for a while now, and I've come up empty. If someone can find a decent image of the illustration, it'd be much appreciated.

A video from TikTok or Vine or something, of a russian comparing teabag brands. Two teabags wear out after a few cups. Another brand fills cup after cup after cup, then a large canister, then a bathtub. The video ends with ominous music playing as he carries the teabag towards a lake.

An old PC game from the early 90's that nobody played. It was on one of those old DOS games collection CD's that would typically have things like Miner VGA and usually a shareware copy of Doom on it although I can't remember what was specifically on this ones CD. But it was like a top down RPG/Adventure kind of game. I think it took place on a space station or something like that, and the graphics were really simplistic. Every character was essentially just a colored dot and if someone attacked it was just a straight line and it would change the colour of the dot to purple or something. Can't remember the name or the plot, I think there was an underclass of aliens or something involved, I dunno. There were different levels of the ship/space station that you could visit and some levels were restricted or hostile or something. I just remember it was really hard and I wouldn't mind giving it a go again, because it seemed interesting. I also remember there was like oxygen mechanics, there were I think dark red tiles in the game that were essentially vacuum and you'd die if you were wearing proper equipment. I've scoured websites that have loads of these kinds of game uploaded to them but I just can't find the thing. Anyone have any sort of idea?

I had this book, and I remember the villain being kinda hardcore for the series. It was set on the coast and I'm pretty sure there were boats involved. I don't have a specific memory of the bit you are talking about, but it feels like it could fit into what I do remember of the book.

I'm looking for an older (the early 2010s, I think) web series that was thematic montages of old movie/tv footage set to music. Usually old sci-fi or horror material, but I remember that there was one episode that was all Christmas movie footage. Usually, the montages were done to create humorous juxtapositions or to show patterns across different pieces of media. Episodes ran for around 20-30 minutes and I remember the name of the series being something really silly with words like "cosmic" or "incredible" (may not use those actual words, though). I had originally downloaded the show from Cinemageddon, a torrent tracker for B-movies, and had thought that it was some kind of original creation from one of the users, but later found the same series on a streaming site (I think it was Dailymotion or maybe Vimeo?). I've since lost the hard drive I had saved the videos on. I really liked the series and would like to watch it again, but my old man memory is failing me. If anyone has any idea what I'm talking about, please let me know.

The format sucks and it's not the highest resolution but here's one:http://skateboardnostalgia.blogspot.com/2015/11/ccs-summer-1997-catalog.html Some other years I found while looking: ~1988, Fall 1992 (and another brand from 1994), ~1995, Summer 1996, and partial scans from 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 There's also a lot of covers here, but unfortunately the rest of the pages didn't get archived and the website died about five years ago.

Back in the glory days of MTV, they played a song called "Onion Skin" by a band whose name I can't remember. I just know it wasn't by Boom Crash Opera. It was the same song, just by a different band. YouTube and Google just give me the Boom Crash Opera version.

A pyramid or maybe ice berg meme about conspiracies. There are a BUNCH of these, so I have little hope. At the lowest (highest? the most esoteric theories) rung, I think it had "golf stories".

I can’t find any other covers of it, although there’s an extended “remix.”

I can’t find a good copy for sale anywhere Everything in my post is probably less helpful than five minutes chat with someone living in Russia, but... What's "good quality"? Despite being filmed on an IMAX camera (says Wikipedia) it looks like it was only commercially released on DVD, so the physical product probably won't be much better than the 720p rips on youtube and mail.ru. https://blu-ray-shop.com.ua/mulytfilymi-aleksandra-petrova-korova-son-smeshnogo-cheloveka-rusalka-moya-lyubovy-dvd maybe if you're determined, they show a price in dollars and apparently ship internationally (if it's actually in stock). ("Фильмы Александра Петрова PAL DVD", like you I couldn't find the original release anywhere) On the other hand the artbook looks amazing - e.g. https://baxmyp-ka.livejournal.com/20323.html - 1 (of 1000?) copies is on Abe Books for $200, again assuming it's actually available. A few photos from some exhibition https://vk.com/albums-16380468 just because. I spent way too long looking at info about that movie instead of mopping my floors.

Sorry  If you have archives, the 2015 ghost story thread has links to a lot of the past ghost story threads. If you don’t have archives, this site has text versions of some stories. Also, this PDF on someone’s Dropbox has a lot of stuff in it. You might be able to use Calibre to make your own ebooks, but I haven’t used it myself so I can’t say for sure.
