A few years back, there was that whole goofy Japan Break Industries thing, where that Japanese demolition company had a #1 hit single with their jingle. The song was pretty ridiculous, "building cannot take it for very much more, pieces of concrete are hitting the floor, these are the things that get in the way of world peace, break out!" I haven't had much luck finding that theme song since then, but the thing I'm really looking for is the flash video game they made too where you knock over a house, an apartment building, and then a big office building (I think.) It was a stupid game, but the whole premise was so hilarious. I can't find this game anywhere and I've always wanted to play it again.

You mean http://dagobah.biz/flash/Steel_Ball.swf ?

Instructions in English are at http://dagobah.biz/flash/Steel_Ball.swf/comments.

Finding the flash with the song was the easy part; just search "Japan Break Industries". The flash game took a little more digging to find an active copy.

I got a fairly easy one

1) There was a thread probably in the middle of '08 called 'Val's Open Late' or something to that degree that linked to this bizarre website sort of like http://www.yyyyyyy.info/

I can't find the thread or remember the url!

Was it perhaps a website about prom dresses and the like? With a horribly hand-drawn map?

I guess this is sort of pre-Internet, but...

I used to have a CD called "Family Fun", which was really just a collection of programs and funny quotes amassed from Usenet. One of the programs on there was essentially a customizable headline generator, with an editable text file it used to generate headlines from the commandline.

Something like:

[CELEBNAME] seen in [LOCATION] with [CELEBNAME]

would turn into:

Michael Jackson seen in café with Oscar Meyer

Only more creative.

There's also a program I remember called BABBLE, which would randomly generate gibberish text - also in MS-DOS. I only had the 'unregistered' shareware version, which had a few generator files but promised more after registration.

If anyone could find me the former, or a full version of the latter, I'd appreciate it.

I'm looking for the old Terrible Erotica thread, where recordings were made of a story that started with "Sees you across the room..." in a Grouch-like and an Ash Ketchum voice, among others.
