There was this one thread a few years ago where a goon for one reason or another received autographed photographs of some very random celebrity. He took pictures of himself admiring the photos and whatnot, but what I really remember is that this goon had AMAZING teeth, they were just perfect. Who was this goon with the lovely teeth? And who was the celebrity? And why did I think that thread was just hilarious?

goon is justin on fire, or justin_on_fire i forgot how its spelled.

Is there an archived link to the lovely roommate thread?

If you are talking about the Martin Random one, yes it is in the archives.

Folks, you can also use the SAclopedia for a lot of this stuff. There's further info about the wheelchair girl thread, for example.

If you have an account, you can read the 'clopedia. It's really quite interesting to browse when the forums are slow.

So through multiple hard drive crashes and such I've noticed that I've lost and can't find some old somethingawful images, because the old links are down, and the hard drives are borked. I'm guessing that I'm not the only one, so here's a thread for requesting and filling requests of old lost SA images/mp3s/goldmines/etc.


In a twist of irony, I'm interesting in getting something from you. Specifically, your famous animation from the JudoHobo thread. Through SAclopedia and other threads I've discovered that it is the hobo being the probe droid from Star Wars, but the thread in the archives is missing that image. (Which is about the worst image to miss, since every post after that is "OH MY GOD THAT'S THE AWESOMEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN 5 MANBABIES" which is really depressing when you can't see the goddamn image). Could you please post it here?

I request this in every lost stuff thread, but nobody ever knows what I am talking about. There is an image with a large Tinker Toy being worshiped by a crowd surrounding it, and the members of the crowd have Tinker Toy tattoos and Tinker Toy shapes shaved into their heads. The last time I saw the picture must have been five years ago, and I don't know where it originated. Does anyone know what the gently caress I'm talking about? Better yet, does anyone have the pic?

There is a goon whose custom title is something like "Ask me about crippling my girlfriend" or something. Someone offhandedly mentioned in a different thread that they wanted to know how that thread concluded. I had never saw the original thread but my morbid curiosity lead me to search for it. Couldn't find it. Does anyone have a link?

Whatever happened to the guy who was going to start pulling out his teeth because they were all rotting out, and he couldn't afford to see a dentist?

I think there might have been two of these. One of them, at least, was tutoring a college classmate of his, and in a heartwarming twist, that classmate's father just happened to be a dentist or dental surgeon. The father extracted the guy's diseased teeth and I think even got him dentures as "payment" for the guy tutoring his son.

I remember the guy writing that the dentist warned him that it would hurt, but pretty much the chronic pain was so bad already that the pain of extraction didn't even break through. All he felt was instant relief.

"Maybe making a thread wasn't the best idea. It made me man-up and talk to her in the first place, which was good, but once the detectives struck I should have closed the thread and forgotten about it.

I wasn't too worried when someone posted my myspace profile, it was creepy and I didn't like it, but the offending post was edited and all was well. Or so I thought.

A few months later my wheelchair-bound friend had been hearing about myspace and how everbody had one, so she jumped on the bandwagon. I was among the first people who she added as a friend, and I accepted without much thought. Apparently some goon had still been monitoring my profile, even though I had closed the threads months ago. He figured out who she was and sent her several messages via myspace containing information about the forums, what I had done, and a stalkerish love note from him to her.

I died a little inside that day."

The thread that someone pointed Wheelie to also had a lot of speculation about her uncle actually being her father. drat. But that update is over a year old. Has Evil Agita said anything else? That thread really drew me and my friends into as it happened.

I remember the Evil Agita thread too. I'd always wondered how things wound up between he and her. Stalkers ruin everything.

I think there was a thread from about the same time about WWI photographs. One photograph was of the blast of a bomb or an artillery shell. The explosion killed the photographer, who was setting up the camera to photograph something else.

I bought archives access specifically to find that thread. I've tried different combinations of WWI, photograph, photographer, killed, blast, explosion, tripod, anything that could have conceivably been in the post or the thread. I still haven't found it.

The topic of the thread was Fantasy Island things you'd do, and about the 10th post down was an Adaptive Sytems post about what he would do with 80k. The whole thing was amazing, and I haven't been able to find it since I last read it.
I'm sure it's in the archives somewhere, but since I don't have that, I'm hoping someone has a .txt kicking around we could grab.

Anyone ever know what happened to Adaptive Systems? The guy was a genius.
