What Can't You Find On The Internet?

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

AB I found a commenter on canadian yelp who also misses the giant poster of mick jagger and the owner, and a shitload of pictures of the new location, but I've given up. any clue what the old address was?

lol thanks i saw the same commenter! no idea of the old address

A minor cleanup of the full-res:

i did a GIS for "Chinese Buddha" "Jagger" and "Atlanta" and there it was.

yeah no doesn't work for me. specific query syntax!!!! plz +plz "plz"

you'll need to scroll down a little bit.

actually https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=%22ick%20jagger%22%20buddha&tbs=imgo:1

first page. first line, even, on a laptop.
failure is how you improve.

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.

i definitely misremembered a lot of the details, and i also think the version i saw ~15 years ago was heavily edited, but behold:

very very NSFW obv:

lol thx

that appears in my twitter feed at least once a week

Not the perfect thread for it, but is anyone here subscribed to Time mag or time.com? I need the full version of this one article: https://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,430697,00.html . If anyone has access to this, a copy would be greatly appreciated.

Eskerrik asko, thank you! <3

there was a t-shirt & sweatshirt company in the early 80s - I think they'd been around since the 70s - called Historical Products. The shirts were uniform in appearance - a portrait, usually a photograph, of an iconic author or composer: Kafka, Bach, Mozart, Mahler, Camus, Faulkner - and the name of the person portrayed underneath it. I wore a Faulkner one in high school, as well as the Mahler sweatshirt my friend outgrew. They advertised in iirc Rolling Stone and the Atlantic...but I can't find any evidence they ever existed!

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

I cannot offer you visual confirmation but only personal corroboration-- I (b.1970) fucking LOVED suddenly spaghetti and can vividly remember the taste even now.

For awhile in the 90s maruchan or top was making a 'tomato' flavor that was hard to find but ticked the old sud spag box nicely.

Since then as far as I know, this niche remains vacant. </3

T'was on ILX.

Alec Baldwin gary oldman "this is dog" "Bram Stoker's Dracula"

?

something i can't find on the internet: a meta ilx thread for ilx threads you can't find

can't remember what the thread about which writers/ilxors you'd like to see write on specific music/musicians was called - I'm not even sure I haven't dreamt it

This is the thread where we ask people to dig up things on ILX we can't find

ta!

a few years back there were some message board threads that got turned into videos with computer-animated animals who voiced the messages with a speech synthesizer.

you may be thinking of people who should go ahead and quit: a list thread. unfortunately the animation site shut down a few years, so all of the links are dead 😞

I'm similarly dismayed by the once-classic idakoos.com thread. So many amazing ILXor-generated t-shirts lost to the vagaries of their web team.

yeah, that was it unreg. thanks.

Oh man idakoos thread was amazing

Oh, also while this thread is bumped: a vintage looking comic strip or comic book panel with a bunch of people all telling each other to shut up? It was posted around here regularly for a while.

Still thinking about that one^.

I swear it was something the poster formerly known as Rock Hardy posted.

Aaaaaand gising Rock Hardy site:ilxor got me this (although it's on WMC's photobucket):

http://smg.photobucket.com/user/WilliamCrump63/media/shoddop.jpg.html

Oh, fucking photobucket.

from here, anyway. Thank you pplains

Oh, that one! I think about that all the time too! Introduced "Who makes noise!?" to the repertoire of things I say when I'm half talking to myself

If only any actual Archie comic was as expressively drawn as Elder's spoof.

Looking for some evidence that back in the 70s, ICI developed a soft drinks packaging which kept the drink cold. IIRC it was tube shaped and had a plastic seal at the top.

did we have a thread, maybe on ILM, maybe on IMM, about songs that sound "offbeat" / syncopated until the drums shift to the downbeat?

About where the downbeat is songs that fool you
