Either my googling is off or I'm misremembering the details, but I'm trying to find what I think is a tweet along the lines of "behind every successful boomer is an intern helping them open an pdf" or along those lines. Been looking through listicles on that theme but couldn't find it. Anyone?

Maybe 15 years ago, SA had a contest that was 'cover a song, in a different genre'. I think the results got posted on the front page? Anyway, there were two songs that just stood out, one was a techno reworking of 'Kashmir' by Led Zep and the other was a lounge act version of 'Space Odyssey' that I distinctly remember being titled 'Space Oddity'. Did anyone save them? Or am I just remembering something that didn't happen?

I didn't look super hard though, and that might not have been the only time a thread like that happened.

there was a long-running series of threads called "sa rockstar" in the music subforums that involved goon cover contests, and some of them may have been posted up in gbs for voting/exposure unfortunately i know there were more than fifty of the things, so it's going to take a deep dive to sort through them

I don't know what year this would be from, but I remember coming across a recording on here possibly for a SA Christmas album. It was Carol of the Bells, but with a dude or maybe chorus of dudes, going like "herp herpy derp" in tune with the song. Anyone else remember this?

Mine is the meme animation(flash video?) of the dude who got banned from SA way way back in the day. I vaguely recall it quoting one of his posts, "I'm a god, I'm a LEGEND" I recall not really having any context but I laughed so hard I had tears. I would love to see that again.

This is definitely a SA one. A bloke singing an acapella version of the Flintstones theme. Except, he only did the "We'll have a gay old time" bit, just that bit on its own, and he absolutely SHREDDED that one bit. This was before the internet got good at acapella but he had it down.

Hi Guys! 1)A few hard drive crashes ago, I lost all my image archives, spanning back from the early 2000s. But I am trying to replace them when I think of the again. This one I've been trying for a few months: It is a color illustration that looks to be in an Alchemy/Study. There are 2 figures, shown directly from the side. One is a large, scary monster wearing a robe. The other is a girl or woman, much smaller in scale. The monster is extending a robotic bladelike hand towards the female character, but in an almost gentle, paternal fashion. The image made the rounds about 10 years ago? 2)There's a complete White Whale that no one has been able to help, and I've been searching for years: When I was growing up in Winnipeg in the 70s, we had a lunchtime kid's show called "Archie and His Friends". I *have* been able to track down a couple of those shows, but I'm not interested in that so much as the HORRIFIC safety films they used to feature. I think they were Red Cross, and certainly were 60s, but they were extremely graphic. One showed a kid playing on a dirt hill, and getting suffocated, and another kid had to save him. There were drowning in pools, falling through ice, you get the picture. These were North American for sure, not PSAs, but short features, maybe 3 minutes long? Thanks in advance Good Goons!

I'm looking for a series of prank phone calls. I saw them on the internet around 2000, but I think they were originally from a radio station. They kept calling up this same racist redneck type and bothering him. In one they pretend to be telemarketers that somehow keep getting connected to his number and insist on sticking to the script each time complete with a commercial jingle. In another they pretend to be doing a survey from Nascar talking about how they're planning to focus on the career of a black driver. There's probably others but the guy freaks out every time.

I know the second one right away because it came up when i typed in "nascar prank call" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxi1J2EntVU You can probably google "mr bergis" for the rest.

I have it on a cassette (Rock 103 w/Tim, Bev, & Baddog in Memphis) I got for supporting St. Jude, and don’t own a cassette player anymore. Pre-edit: Gladys from Crank Yankers. https://youtu.be/ly8l0QKDa_Y Did get to hear some awesome rock songs from current-Stern Show guests and bands while searching, though.

Alright, this is kind of a different request for this thread, I'm looking for a patent from 1954. It's referred to here: https://www.engnet.us/c/c.aspx/OMN006 "First patented in 1954, our High Capacity 'Endless Track' Ball Transfer Units have been in continuous production ever since and continue to solve the industry's toughest applications." And described differently here: https://www.engnet.us/c/c.aspx/OMN006/productdetail/high-capcity-ball-transfer-unit "First patented in 1954, our Omnitrack High Capacity 'Double Recirculation' Ball Transfer Units offer maximum precision & smoothest performance. Machined from solid steel bar, this innovative design provides the highest load capacity & longest service life available." That patent should be long expired and I really want to see how they're recirculating the balls, but patents that old are hard to find.

After puzzling over that patent for a while I determined it's not the correct one, but I used that site to look up other patents from the same company name and managed to find several other patents from them relating to the type of recirculating ball transfer unit I was curious about. It turns out to be very simple, basically a normal ball transfer unit but with space to hold multiple layers of balls and a free floating plate that separates the layers.  I'm kinda surprised that works, now I gotta build one and play with it.

I'm looking for an late 80s/early 90s CGI math video. The premise involved two space travelers who had crash landed and needed to use geometry (I think) to solve problems. The aesthetic was extremely low poly and shiney. I don't believe children were really the intended audience because the math seemed pretty advanced. I'm pretty sure I saw this on PBS in ~1994

I finally found this, almost two years after posting this request. It is a skit from 2001 and it's called Rezelscheft. Looking for any other words or other spellings gave a bunch of bad results. It's from a San Francisco troupe called Killing My Lobster, although they didn't upload it so I found a random vimeo upload. It was funnier when I was 17, but maybe someone else wants to see some early internet silliness again. https://vimeo.com/36736010

Fantasy MMORPG between 2003 - 2009. Not AdventureQuest, Everquest or Runescape, but Everquest-ish graphics. F2P, but you could subscribe. Was NOT buy to play. Could have been in a browser. There was a loading screen right away with some acoustic guitar that was awesome. Early on, there was a snowy zone where I believe you could farm werewolves near a lake. Definitely snow, not sure on the werewolves part. I played on a lovely dell PC. I believe it was $30ish/month because I remember asking parents for the money. I've dug through every list and I can't find it. I'm really just looking for the plucked acoustic guitar song.

I remembered an old comic book I had as a teenager and want to finish the series. Here's what I remember about it: It starts with a framing story, a bunch of adventurers(?) trading myths in a bar. The first story involves a knight/warrior who is bonded to some kind of crystal on/in his chest. He's some kind of "hero across time" - he will save the world, and then the crystal grows around him and sends him into hibernation, and he wakes up again hundreds of years later to save the world again. I think it turns into armor and maybe a sword for him when he's doing the hero thing. Eventually he is released from this obligation, gets married, and settles down. I think he does not age, and when his wife passes, the crystal cocoons him again... just in case. The comic ends with another adventurer joining the table and promising to tell another myth in exchange for a drink. I want to say I found the comic in a back-issue bulk bin in 2000 or maybe 2001. I'm almost certain it is not Marvel's Crystar, from the few pages I can find of it.
