What Can't You Find On The Internet?

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.

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.

Lol

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.

hey LBI, I don't suppose a Turkish edition of that book is much use to you?

oh shit, I think it is two movies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F_teBHE4E8 feels right for the Cooper Union part

so the other one is abusive/junkie boyfriend hitting the protagonist in a stairwell or her crying in a stairwell after? Just remember a very dingy blue light shot in a rundown stairwell

Sorry NV, no it's not. It's meant to be a special gift for someone.

yeah, Turkish versions seem to be the only ones readily available

No big surprise there harhar. Thanks for looking tho.

In the original 2001 broadcast, Agent Deborah Ciccerone was played by actress Fairuza Balk. However, due to scheduling conflicts, she was not able to return for season four. For the repeats and DVD releases, Balk was replaced by Lola Glaudini, who went on to play the role permanently in 2002.

Also this episode is a period piece; when the parents are arguing about sending AJ to military school, one of them (Tony?) says "The US military doesn't even go to war anymore."

One of my "things you can't find on the internet" is any screenshot or clip of Fairuza Balk playing the agent.

I completely blanked on the term for those one-off records where people send in some lyric text and a check to a studio and then some session musicians would make it into a generic country song or whatever.

song-poem anthology?!

YES THANK YOU

god that's been bothering me for like three days

i had the same experience recently and i asked the person who told me about them, ilx user ez snappin, and he reminded me
glad to be of service :)

this is why I can't quit ilx

we got hot dog threads too

An English subtitled version of Remake Remix Rip-Off; director has said it'll never come out on DVD and has encouraged people to pirate it so why is there only a version with German subs?

there is this restaurant called "Chinese Buddha" that is in midtown Atlanta. it was a 24 hour staple of late nights when i lived there 10 years ago (maybe more). back then it was in a different location and sort of connected to an older hotel just off the highway. this place was legendary. they had this huge photo at the entrance of Mick Jagger with the owner. it was easy to notice because he had gone in and put in sticky letters M I C K J A G G E R on the glass. i think the last time i went to the old location the M had fallen off and it just said I C K J A G G E R.

i want to find a photo of that photo. somebody must have taken it. GIS "Chinese Buddha" and "Mick Jagger" is a funny, if pointless search.

years ago i recall my friend telling me about some insane sounding british game show called "THE CRUSHER"... in the opening sequence the host would grab an audience member's glasses off their face and say "WELCOME TO THE CRUSHER!!" as he crushed their glasses in his hands.

not sure if this really exists or if it's a sketch or what

glasses crushing sequence starts around 2:23
