looking for a flash cartoon from around 2005, maybe 5 minutes long It started with a disclaimer stating that they had written the material sober and found a drunk at 2AM to read both characters. it was two people having a conversation at a party, i can only remember 2 parts: "I challenge you to a grizzled contest" (then they scream as a beard grows) "ahh you added a beard you bastard" "i dont cheat, i get results" Then there was something at the end where the guy is talking about how nice the party was and how it must be over, saying "pat is moving the amp, it must be time to go"

I found a hurried note in my writing from a space conference a few years ago, instructing me to look up a PhD thesis from the University of Uppsala that had some reference to Homer Simpson in the title (or a picture of Homer Simpson on the cover, but I don't think that's normal for a thesis). I do not know why, I think it's somehow space-related, and I didn't see it in the uni directory. What the gently caress was I talking about?

I have a weird one. Back when I was in grade five or so we had a teacher (maybe a substitute?) who read us a weird book. I remember it being an actual book. It was about some kid who got kidnapped by future people in sheets or something who refused to talk and used sign language. They were all about the environment and held the kid captive. Over time he learned their language and ways of the future people. Eventually he "escapes" and goes back to his time and shock horror the leader of the future people was him grown up. Even as a kid I thought it was dumb and hamfisted. But no one knows what the gently caress I'm talking about and my googling has netted me nothing. Really I just want to know if a weird teacher read us her lovely environmentalist fanfiction or if it was a legitimate book.

I don't think I've ever been able to find the original video for Lost In You by Chris Gaines (aka Garth Brooks) in any definition higher than "recorded on a tin can"; there used to at least be that on dailymotion, but now it seems like it's been scrubbed off the face of the earth completely  Childish Gambino did a cover a year or two ago that was incredible but I really just want to see Garth Brooks in that Spirit Halloween mall goth outfit again, in that video in particular

About 4 years back WWE put out a series of comedy sketches about a non-existent fed from the 70s/80s. John Cena was a straight laced announcer while various other superstars played roles. The name is completely eluding me and neither YouTube or Google is helping. Anyone remember it?

Posted in the GWS small questions thread and they gave me some pointers, but no one had the actual definitive answer: Here in England, if you go to any Chinese takeaway and get Crispy Peking Duck, it comes with what they call 'Hoi Sin Sauce'. You can also order this separately, and it's always the same thing, a tarry-thick black sauce that tastes like the tears of angels. However, if you go and buy Hoi Sin Sauce from a shop, it tastes like the tears of Criss Angel. Does anyone know exactly what sauce they're using in the takeaways? It's the same wherever you go, so I can't imagine it's a special recipe or anything? I've looked at Asian wholesalers before, and couldn't find anything that I hadn't already tried. The closest thing I can get is Lee Kum Kee Peking Duck sauce, which makes me think that actually (And the GWS thread pretty much confirmed) the stuff they're selling as Hoi Sin is really more like Peking Duck sauce. That doesn't actually massively help though.

!Klams posted:Posted in the GWS small questions thread and they gave me some pointers, but no one had the actual definitive answer: They are using Hoisin, it's just a sauce with a great deal of regional variation. A lot of supermarket brands are a lot thinner and fruitier. There's a lot of cross-over between Hoisin and Plum Sauce, and often they seem to be used interchangeably (and even namewise) for some reason even though they don't taste anything alike. You can definitely buy the same tasting Hoisin though. Flying Goose brand Hoisin (you know...the transparent bottle + green cap Sriracha brand) is very, very close to what takeaways use. You can also buy fancier versions that are thick + dark and glossy, probably better than the takeaway version (which believe me probably comes in multi-litre tubs). https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flying-Goose-Hoisin-Sauce-Pack/dp/B00710V7CC/ref=psdc_433166031_t1_B003WP0G3Q?th=1 Plenty of reviews going on about it, though you can probably get it cheaper from an Asian supermarket. e: Also for what it's worth, I would say it is extremely likely that every Chinese takeaway (that isn't fancy enough to make its own) uses Lee Kum Kee as a base. From there, they will add a bit of water and sugar and potentially some extra spices (i.e. a little garlic/chili/fivespice) to their own personal preferences as from the tub it's super thick and very salty.

There's a lot of cross-over between Hoisin and Plum Sauce, and often they seem to be used interchangeably (and even namewise) for some reason even though they don't taste anything alike. Yeah, the flying goose one is really close. I WANT the stuff that comes in multi-litre tubs, but couldn't find any at the Asian cash and carry in Greenwich. Well, no that's not true, I found a couple, neither of them right though. I don't want "Better than" I want the same as the stuff you get at every single Chinese Takeaway! I actually went and bought LKK 'again' to try watering down / adding sugar to, because this is exactly the response I got in GWS, and, it's just obviously not right. It's like browner and has a taste to it that I can only assume comes from the spices, that's actually kinda a little like Char Siu flavour? There's clearly no tampering with it with stuff I've got that's going to result in the exact one I'm after. I've even gone and picked up some Tian Mian Jiang to mix with a little sesame oil and loads of sugar to see if I can make my own. And, y'know, you can say it's regional, but every single Chinese takeaway I've ever been to has had exactly the same hoisin sauce! That's what led me down this path in the first place, the ubiquity suggests it's something I should be able to easily get / make without going to a Chinese takeaway. Reading your message again though, what HAS got me intrigued, is that you say "From the tub"... I've never actually found a TUB of LKK, only the store jars. That would completely explain everyone insisting its LKK but my experience being totally different... Gonna go search for LKK tubs. /Edit: Ok, so I 'think' what might have happened is that every time I got LKK, I was actually getting the gluten free version? It seems to come not in tubs (unless Im missing something) but rather in giant tins, so I'll see about getting a smaller tin of it, and try to make sure it's not the gluten free one. !Klams fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Apr 23, 2021 |

Oh yeah, no takeaway is putting money down on tiny jars. S'all bulk in the back, usually big cans, tubs or big multi-litre jugs. I dunno what your cash and carry is like, but Chinese takeaway owners if they aren't ordering online are hitting up the big warehouse Asian supermarkets like Hoo Hing/Loon Fung. They've got the usual stuff on the shelves, but big warehouse stuff in the back full of like 10 litre containers of soy, ketchup and all sorts. I looked online and Hoo Hing are out of stock right now but they sell a 10kg tin of LKK Hoisin.

I have no doubt you've done this, but I have you just asked at your take-aways? It seems you like the food and go often enough so go to the one you most frequent and just ask what it is they use/where they buy it?

I used to listen to New York Public radio and there was a show on near midnight called the Night Shift and it's host was Mike Sargent. Anyways, for the intro, they had a rap sample there where the bass really stuck in my head for years and I don't know the name of the song they sampled.

I genuinely can't remember the time period that I heard the sample and asking him to remember an 8 second sample of a bass guitar(?) going "bum BUM bum bum...duh duh duh duh duh (with the second duh going up and then it all scaling down)" may be too much work. My memory is faulty but I think I must have emailed him about the sample because of how much the sample was stuck ( and is still a bit stuck, thanks to this thread) in my head but I don't remember the result of that possible interaction. Ehh, whatever.

You don’t remember because I was wrong he is clearly way too busy. quote:Mike has recently returned to filmmaking and is currently editing BAD BOYS: A Documentary. This is a six years in-the-making in-depth, investigative film that examines why women and society in general are in love with Bad boys through out history. He has also created the website https://www.badboystories.com that is a standalone component as a place intended for women to share their stories with each other in hopes of having a greater understanding of why they do it – get involved with those bad boys -- & whether it is helping or holding them back -- whether it is empowering or diminishing their power – whether the attraction to bad boys is nurture or nature. A six year journey. Bless him.

There was a hip-hop group in the late 90s early 2000s that use a lot of scratching and sampled a lot of horns. I want to say they were Italian or had an Italian name? I cannot remember the name of find a suitable way to google it because "early 2000s italian rap" doesn't yield anything familiar.

Long before Youtube and Angry Game Reviewer became a thing on the Internet, there was a video game review series done in Flash. It featured an alien named Diego. I don't remember much about it except that Diego and his family were this shade of turquois, and there were intro segments and sometimes sketches at the start and end.

Third time lucky: A series of badly drawn russian cartoons, featuring two guys, two gals, and a talking alien rabbit. They'd hang out and drink? They all lived in St. Petersburg. I remember in the first episode, they said only alcoholics, criminals, and crazy people lived in St. Petersburg. "Once a normal person visited, but he didn't stay long" *cut to man sprinting through streets screaming in horror* Also still after the comics and the finnish homer simpson thesis in case anyone didn't see those asks

They weren't obscure or anything. They weren't huge but they were big enough that people in Australia bought their CD. So sorry, when I said Italian I meant Italian-American.

This is a weird dumb one. For a long time I've had this little bit of a song in my memory. I believe it may be from a children's show or an old commercial. The lyrics are: Pizza Pizza, Really hits the spot, Pizza Pizza, Eat it while it's hot https://vocaroo.com/14SjC2gVYqhN There's more, but this is all I can remember. My wife and I were ordering pizza and I sang it, assuming it was a widely known pizza related song. She claims to have never heard of it. I go on youtube to show it to her and I can't find a copy of it. There's hundreds of videos of "pizza songs" but none are the right thing. With a little digging I find out that the tune of the song is and old Italian song called "Funiculi Funicula" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XW0W7j04iRQ Going off of this gives me a little more to work with. I quickly discover that there is a Funiculi Funicula/pizza connection via an old Spiderman video game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdQ0hMBNp6I But I'm sure my memory of this song is far older than the game. Plus I've never actually played this game. The wiki page for Funiculi Funicula lists a bunch of appearances in popular media. For example there's the 1992 commercial for the board game Grape Escape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3C5rB8sm4Y This one I actually do remember but it has nothing to do with pizza. Finally I found this random video dated 1995 of some sort of middle school music concert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRIRLuFvJG8 It's pretty close, but still has different lyrics. It also doesn't explain where I actually ended up hearing the song. At this point I was ready to just give up and assume I was misremembering the song or had made it up myself. But I mentioned this search to a friend and he immediately knew exactly what I was talking about. He remembered the words about as well as I did, but also had no idea what it was from. So now I put it to you. What is the origin of the true Pizza Song?

It seems to fit the rhythm of a poem I found a while back in my Dad's childhood scrapbook from the 1950s. Except his was about Pepsi and how it made you pee. Off the top of my head, it was something like Pepsi-Cola hits the spot Pepsi-Cola puts you on the pot Push a little lever, Pull a little chain There goes Pepsi down the drain

No idea why this popped into my head tonight but hopefully might pop a bell for somebody. I'm looking for a video of a studio performance by an unknown band circa 2005-2006ish; heavy music, possibly post-hardcore or noise band (not Blood Brothers but similar era), but the hook was that it was a one take performance done across three rooms in a studio complex. It was all one long shot following the singer as he moved between the rooms as the song progressed through different styles - particularly there was a bridge with a string section set up in a smaller room and then he moved back into the bigger room for the ending.
