There's a museum that is obligated to display a painting of a dog because the dog's owner willed them like three million pounds two hundred years ago or something. It's technically not still obligated because the will's bequest conditions or whatever have expired but they still do it? And they used the money to buy like, a literal van Gogh or something and there's a plaque next to the dog painting explaining why they have the crappy dog painting up? I want to find that. I saw it posted here but I can't find proof. Been trying combinations of keywords and also checking for historical examples of weird long-lasting-and-no-longer-valid conditions on wills.

This thread worked great for me last time, so I'll try again. There was a Chinese pop band called "New Pants". Three dudes. They had a song that may have been called California, or may have just involved them going "ooooooh, California" repeatedly at the start of the song. It was definitely on YouTube when I saw it, you know, ten years ago or whatever. I can't find that song because, as you'd expect, with a band named New Pants, it's hard to Google. And I'm not actually that great at Googling things.

This thread has never failed me before, and this one shouldn't be hard, but Google's not great at combing tweets. There's a tweet of Coach McGuirk's speech about orange juice and cereal (from Home Movies) set to Godspeed You! Black Emperor and I can't find it.

This feels like a lifetime ago now, but sometime during the Trump administration a natural disaster happened (hurricane?) and he said something like "no destructive power on this Earth can match the determination and resourcefulness of the American people" and now I can't find the drat quote and it's driving me nuts, someone please help

I am looking for an (edited?) old comic book cover where uh, like a dude is married to another woman now and his girlfriend is sad about it and he's saying something like "sometimes these things just happen and we have no control over them!"

There's an episode of Whose Line is it Anyway? (US) where, after some skit, Drew Carey just shouts "Points! Grab the points!" and all four of the contestants pretend to grab flying objects out of thin air. I can't find it and easily I'm not rewatching the entire series just to track it down so I'm really hoping someone here just randomly know this

a fake comic book cover that looked like an old '50s horror comic, featuring a man saying to a woman for some reason "sometimes these things just happen, and we have no control over them!" I think he's like, married to another woman and that's how he's explaining it to his wife? the phrase itself is fantastic but I have zero idea where I got it from except this vague half-formed memory

Zamboni Rodeo posted:And that right there is why I collect church lady cookbooks. All those recipes that would otherwise be lost (and it's also fun to see people's different variations on the same type of food). I love how woefully incomplete some of them are, too, as if the people who submitted them just take it for granted that you'll know what size pan to use, or how long to bake something. Like, those are the recipes that were handed down through someone's family and whoever submitted them can do them from memory, so of course they don't need to give full instructions for someone preparing the dish for the first time.

The actual origin of this quote: https://twitter.com/ycsm1n/status/1779940612411990151 Googling it just turns up a bunch of pinterest/tumblr reposts of it. I don't know if it was ever actually said by a human being (obviously it's like #relatable #content enough that maybe someone made it up ten years ago)
