Is there a pyf av/custom title thread that similarly explains their origins, like this thread does with smilies?

For years I've wondered where this title came from:

King Kong of Megadongs
Gobblin' them mega schlongs
Makin' sure they mega long
Stroke 'em if they mega strong

I can't remember who had it and I think they've changed it since because I haven't seen it in a while, but every now and then it pops into my head and I hear it in this cool Ice Cube voice in my head, googling it only returns hits from SA, but it seems too specific to have just come from nowhere.

HairyManling: Jul 20, 2011; No flipping.; Fun Shoe

That's from a thread in PYF anti food porn where some poster was incapable of seeing shrimp on top of a carton of chow mein or something. They were very obviously shrimp, but in their (the posters) overly excited rush to criticize and generate laughs they asked if the shrimp in question might in fact be some small pastry that they didn't recognize.

It's currently been brought up in this thread as a matter of a lost, never before seen gif:

I made the small pastry tag about a week ago. I think it made it onto the forums only a few days ago.

Edit: also as a side note, this is my favorite (new) tag:

Because the first flag was 911 which was sad. Then the 911 smilie got used as a general american flag. Which lead to other flags, and they cry too because goons.

Poland is known for vodka, and I believe that thing on the Quebec flag is supposed to be poutine (a Canadian delicacy).

I think that might be poutine, actually.

Poutine for Quebec, obviously.
Finland is known for her supreme memes, such as Spurdo Bear.
Belarus is, indeed, known for eponymous tractors.

Spurdo Sparde is a finnish thing. It has nothing to do with a GBS shitposter.

Not about smilies, but I don't really know where else to ask. When you try to open a bookmarked thread, but aren't logged in you're taken to a login prompt with a video of a window smashing a kid and whole bunch of other crazy poo poo. What is that video clip from?

The clip where the kid goes BOOGEYMAN!!! you mean?

It's from a film called The Boogeyman (1980).

Now you know.
