This one is very easy. I can't recall the artist or name of that series of photos of very realistic looking sculptures. The most memorable one is a reclining, floppy eared, flesh-tone pig / dog / human thing that is suckling a bunch of young. Another, which I am not sure if it is by the same artist, is of a large octopus coming through a doorway.

That's Patricia Piccinini, and the sculpture is called "The Young Family":

That one was CGI, and the artists name is Bernardo Barbi:

People actually listened to those? I still wanna rehear the one when logging in, while you travel up the 'information superhighway'.

While thinking of the dragonmaster mp3 I remembered a thread a LONG time ago before I even registered that I hope actually existed.

It was a pretty large thread about who had the dirtest/messiest room. It was a very amazing thread and I recall one picture that looked like the guy lived in a dirt cave with exposed wiring everywhere.

I would love to find that thread again, if anyone even remembers. I think it was named "Most untidy room" or some poo poo like that.

Not too terribly old, but I remember a site that would warp-uploaded faces in to different styles. I don't remember all of the options, but some of them were artists and/or art styles. The only art style I remember is Baroque but it also offered racial switches, gender switches and even a silly chimpanzee option. It's gotta be out there still, I just can't come up with the right combo of words to pull it up in google.

We might have had a thread about it in GBS too, but alas - no archives.

Website where this guy writes very humorously about how much he hates his girlfriend. I want to say it had a long name like Iabsolutelyhatemyfuckinggirlfriend.com or something.

I recall one blurb from the site where he talks about how he walks in from the video store with his girlfriend, she sits on the couch, he pops in the tape and hits play and sits down next to her and a face appears on the TV in the movie and she immediately goes "Whos that?" and he states that he's been there just as long as she has. How would he know?

A while ago, I got an MP3 from here called Disco Bees. In it, the singer was singing the word "Bees" repeatedly to a discoish melody. I had it on my MP3 player so didn't worry about backing it up in my most recent reformat. However, last week my MP3 player got wiped too before I could copy the song back over. So if anyone has this piece of awesomeness or knows where I can get it it'd be greatly appreciated.

Any chance you're talking about the song they play when the stream is wonky on GBS-FM?

Not an Internet thing, but maybe I'll have some luck asking about it.

I remember an episode of that old show "That's Incredible" about how a guy was able to figure out when a group of progressive slot machines was going to hit the jackpot. I believe the casino was Ceaser's and he won a million dollars. (The jackpot was something like $800,000+, but they rounded up.) They didn't explain how he did it, but I assume he had some info on how they generated the pseudo-random numbers and was able to determine the seed(s). They mentioned he wrote a computer simulation of the slot machines and knew how many pulls it was going to take. That's the only conceivable way I know it could have been done legally.

Tried googling for this episode and came up blank. Any child of the 80s remember this?

I have found mention of the episode, which seems to go under the title "Millionaire Payoff/Cusa Cure/Double Dutch followup". I can't find any more details than that. I'm not sure if you have it in your area, but here the Detroit ABC station carries the Retro Television Network on one of it's sub channels. RTN is showing old episodes of That's Incredible on the weekends.

On the official Cartoon Network site, well before Adult Swim started, there used to be a section devoted to Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. The members of the Council of Doom all had homepages that were updated periodically. I wish I could find those again, they were the first thing I remember reading on the internet.

Put the Cartoon Network site in the Internet Archive Time Machine and you'll find it.

This one is pretty recent. I discovered a simple online game no more than a year or two ago. It's a sidescroller where you're a dog tied to an old man in a wheelchair who is playing a guitar (there's also awesome guitar music in the background). The goal is to pull him to the finish points because, as an old man, he can't get there himself.

That's about all I remember. I don't really know what to search for because Googling "old man dog wheelchair" mostly gets me results about wheelchairs for dogs.

Edit: I'm pretty sure I originally found it on addictinggames, but I couldn't seem to track it down when I looked there.

There was this music video online where there were these girls in lingerie, it had a lot of light pink - by someone like "mizz kitty" or something. It was a "dance club" type song; It was extremely annoying and I used it as a punchline in a joke during a conversation with a coworker, and they had never seen or heard of the music video. I tried to google it and/or find the stupid video online and couldn't get it. Very frustrating.

I've long since forgotten the joke, but whenever I have nothing better to do I try and track down that drat video. If anyone else can find it I'm going to be quite irate if you get it with your first search. I tried to find the malt-o-meal cereal commercial where they guy walks "down here, where the bargains are!" - and couldn't get it for the life of me, and some buddy of mine gets it on his first try. :|

Maybe I just suck at google searches.

A few years ago, in one of those 'post a funny video' threads, someone posted a video about 3 or 4 drag queens cooking vegetable soup. Well one was a woman, the others were dressed in old lady-ish drag, and I think the main character was Mavis, Maude, something like that. I think the title was 'Cooking With ______', and it was pretty funny, one of the drag queens made a joke about the spice Cumin, and they just threw in any old ingredient and boiled it up. I tried Google it only shows other drag queen cooking shows. Thanks in advance to anyone who posts the video.

Also a bit weird [edit: on second thought, post above is definitely weirder]:

Someone edited Star Trek clips (either original or Next Generation) to make it look like the captain and his crew were watching porn on the screen. Different crew members reacted differently; some were happy, some shocked, some amazed, some had knowing moments of eye contact. The porn sounds were overlaid. It was absolutely awesome.

As I recall, there was an original version, and a re-done version that was made as a tribute in higher quality.

Anyone remember this?

At one point I looked for new music with pandora and one other site. The other site was set up like a map of sorts. You would enter a name and a screen full of circles would appear with lines connecting to others. The name of the artist you typed in was the main one with other bands that are similar in some way connected tot that. And it kind of just worked it's way out.

I might be misunderstanding how it worked but it seemed like a great way to find bands that were similar to others.
