What Can't You Find On The Internet?

(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.

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

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."

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.

Trick Stick, perhaps? Here's what appears to be the only picture in the world of one.

and here's someone who drew a picture since they couldn't find one:

I remember these, though I didn't possess one.

Very interesting! That's the closest I've seen so far. Looks like it's a foot or two too long though. I think the stick itself was thicker, more robust. And possibly blue. But that's awesome. Thanks for looking.

The original (non-album) version of Chromeo's "You're so Gangsta". It's gotta be around somewhere, but I'm kind of surprised at how hard it is to find! I still have an mp3 from 2003 or whatever

I might have it on a hd at home, will look

a video clip that went viral circa '02-'03 that was a digitized rip of an instructional VHS tape from the late 80's or early 90's that presumably came packaged with a penis pump.

the video featured a late 80's/early 90's pornstar bro sitting on a wood crate in the middle of a studio set made to look like the cliche "street" or "alley" scene with brick, chain link fence, oil drums, graffiti, and unnatural pastel lighting.

pornstar bro graphically demonstrated the steps required for proper use of the penis pump while extolling the device's benefits and candidly sharing with the viewers how it made him feel, in a manner that could be described as unexpectedly charming. at one point he discloses that he likes to think about sex with beautiful women while using the device- it's unclear if this is an attempt to forbear any homoerotic tension, the guy just being in his zone, or both. the whole thing was probably less than six minutes and the overall tone was sublime - an instructional video gone beautifully wrong; a high-budget porn film gone terribly right.

pretty sure my first (and likely only) exposure would have been on the makeoutclub main page and/or a thread on their forums. this was pre-youtube era so it was probably in some crude 200px .wma player.

@écorché: I did find 'Pancake Day' in this nice 'n odd mix. It starts around 47m23 in the mp3 here

I think I remember this, wasn't it on Mike Read's Saturday Superstore?

Anyway, one for/from me..

'Overture, Camera, Lights
This it it, we'll hit the heights
No more rehearsing and nursing the part
We know every part by heart
Overture, Camera, Lights
This it it, we'll hit the heights
And oh what heights we'll hit...
On with the show, this it!'

Can't find a clip of the Rosie O'Donnell Show with Emilio Estevez as guest, where Rosie starts talking about how they were both baked on the set of Another Stakeout.

The Sharafnama, a book about the history of the Kurds. (And I mean the book, not a pdf, so technically cheating on this thread, needle in the hay, but I need to try). I so, so want to find a copy of this book. Tried Amazon, Abe, Alibris etc: no dice.

If you know where to find it, or happen to stumble across it, I'll make it worth your while, promised.

No matter how often or fervently I tell myself this was highly, highly improbable, I swear to god I remember watching the Arsenio Hall Show after the L.A. riots, and seeing a bit that featured a newspaper photo of GHW Bush walking around surveying the destruction while wearing a Malcolm X hat. The improbability comes from its not being played as a joke -- though there was certainly laughter at it. I've searched google, youtube, LA/NY Times scan archives... I so want it to be real.

If it wasn't an outright hallucination it'll turn out to be something from an EPMD or 3rd Bass video that I've somehow attached Arsenio Hall to.

A movie from the '90s about a young woman going to NYC, maybe trying to go to Cooper Union, winds up in a shitty apartment with a junkie boyfriend (or an abusive boyfriend), I think does PCP on the beach. I may be combining two movies about similar situations. Or I may have made it all up.
