What Can't You Find On The Internet?

Perhaps you wanted a more generic/anonymous cat but I remembered this happening in the Pink Panther and there it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y94584UUw1Q

Feel like there's a Tom and Jerry too but I'm at work and should probably stop watching cartoons.

thanks a passing spacecadet. I seem to remember it happening by accident? I dunno. Keep watching cartoons at work!

an etext (in English) of Jean Ray's novel Malpertuis

one Christmas -- I wanna say around 1991 -- A Current Affair did a Christmas song; some singers came on with I think just a simple mall-piano accompaniment, these were piano-lounge types. It was clearly just a lark somebody ran with, the credits ran over it while the singers mugged: "A Current Affair! Satanic killings! A Current Affair!" etc.

tune's been stuck in my head ever since but the internet does not seem to remember it.

someone once posted a link on ilx to a scooby doo writer's website where they described how challenging it was to create bad guys after a couple seasons...any leads?

which scooby doo series?

the original one

this one?

there are a few skits from the tracey ullman show that i remember fondly and precisely that simply do not exist on the internet, all these many years later. no scripts, no videos.

there was also a list put together by some british music magazine -- a list of great heartbreak songs, called "heartbreakers." it was a pretty interesting mix of the well-known and the obscure, ranging across genres (rock, soul, country, pop, etc.) and decades (from the 1940s to the early 2000s IIRC). i learned about a lot of great music from this list, which /was/ on the internet once upon a time. but in the past decade it seems to have entirely disappeared.

it had songs by lewis taylor, slapp happy, don covay, scott walker, etc. etc.

@NV yes and thanks!!

something about Mariah rehearsing Vision of Love, like a clip must have just surfaced on the internet or something and someone was like "you have to watch it," because why would he have referenced it if it weren't trending

audio here?

audio of the ballad of a gentle laxative, I would kill or die to hear it again

the Real Sex series from HBO in the 90s

thank you Joan!!!! i think that's exactly what it was!

sure thing! makes me happy to have found it!

:)

the cover of a 7" by a band called mouse (or something similar) drawn by ted mckeever. or a mention that such a thing exists. i know i added it to a list of ted mckeever's art sometime before 1999 and i have a copy in a box somewhere at home but now, sat at me desk at work, i can't find it. and that annoys me.

(and it's not Magic Bone's 'Faraway', although he also did the cover for that - http://www.ebay.com/itm/MAGIC-BONE-Faraway-Couples-Night-7-NEW-GARAGE-OOP-/400403575246 )

I thought I posted this already, but apparently not. In 1989, a guy in my fifth grade class wore a novelty t shirt to school that used the word frog in the place of the word "fuck". It had dozens of variations, which I can't actually remember but may have included things like motherfrogger, frog you, that's frogged up, etc. About halfway through the morning, he got sent to the principal's office and his mother had to being him a replacement shirt. I'd love to find an image of this shirt.

I'm intrigued as to whether Wikipedia has answered Tom's initial question...

And it has!

that jumping dolphin gif where it flies @ u face and breaks the fourth wall

any visual confirmation anywhere of the ramen-spaghetti product Suddenly Spaghetti which as a child I considered the height of cuisine

doesn't look like it but what's better than ancient trademark info, i ask you

(never heard of this btw)

I am guessing it was west-coast only. I was a ramen-dependent child and this stuff was the best

Somehow I have heard of this, even though I left CA in 1975 and that trademark is from '77.

Here's the Rosebud scene for my new movie, Citizen Chachi

Wish you better luck in your search. I'd try to help more, but damn.

I'm on a work computer right now and I don't want to get fired.

one of the PDF scans of 'The Pepsi Cola Addict' that's supposedly out there somewhere...

a commercial for an alvin and the chipmunks soundtrack album done in one of those styles where the song titles roll down the screen and as they roll certain ones play in a kind of montage. i remember a few of the songs on the commercial but i most remember a sequence where the chipmunks are singing "girls just want to have fun" and then the voiceover says, "and because alvin looks great in shorts - surfin' usa!"

I remember that one, I think! It had Uptown Girl too iirc

yes it did!

Video of Cleveland mayor Frank Jackson saying, "We have the fourth-most crime or the fifth-most crime, it becomes irrelevant. The problem is we have a problem. It's not that we don't know that we have a problem, we've known it for years. It's not that we don't know what the solutions are, we've known those for years. The problem is we haven't done anything about it."

what was the old ilx thread about someone's disgusting box similar to reddit's famous cum box

Columbia House and/or BMG catalogs from the '90s

Lol Pappa

That would be the d34thdr0ne threads

Pretty sure that horrifying discussion/window into the mind of a future serial killer was relegated to 77.

It was. At least when things got really 'sticky'

That's not funny

Name of a toy that I had in the 80s. About 6" plastic stick with a bouncy ball attached at each end.

Like a baton?

Yeah, to an extent. It was designed for the express purpose of bouncing it high as fuck into the air. I actually tried various searches on bouncy baton and the like and didn't find anything like it though. Like, there are some "bouncy batons" but they only have the ball on one end and they look pretty flimsy. This was made with heavy duty plastic. It was cool as hell.
