Looks unlikely - think they licensed the designs for Canada only. Only option: find a friendly Canadian ILXor intermediary?

Sunny, I live on the border. You could have it shipped to my husband's work address or my friend's address in Vancouver, and I could mail it from the States.

!!! That would be fantastic. I will webmail you shortly. Thanks!

Yay! :-)

StanM, Friday, 24 April 2009 20:08 (fifteen years ago) link

Thanks for looking Stan. I figured it was a licensing issue since they only have the lame disney ones down here but I was hoping there would be some other Canadian site that shipped to the US.

Kate, I emailed you.

I thought you were going to buy Beeps a ticket for an actual seat. I hope she handles the low air-pressure okay.

I can't find videos of this long forgotten theme park: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_of_Sid_and_Marty_Krofft. I want to see a video of the purple belly-dancing rhino and I want to see the pinball machine ride in action. I want to see the largest escalator in the world.

Mulvaney, Thursday, 7 May 2009 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

I need to listen to the original

Yo! MTV Raps
theme song for something I'm writing, and I don't feel like hooking up my VCR and pulling out my old tapes. Why wouldn't that be on the internet?

Pictures of the Bucket Bikini Man. If anyone can locate the site it came from or has the pictures saved on their computer and can share them, I'd be eternally grateful.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 12:37 (fifteen years ago) link

To explain it for nu-ILXors: Bucket Bikini Man was a picture of a chubby guy wearing a bikini made of plastic toy buckets, and it was posted on ILX quite often. There was also another pic where the same dude was wearing a bikini made of stuffed toy animals. I once managed to find the site where the pics came from, they were from a homemade bikini contest (all the other contestants were women). Sadly, despite searching for it several times, I haven't found the site again. Could be it's not online anymore.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 12 May 2009 12:42 (fifteen years ago) link

Here's another thing I've tried to find online, I posted about it on ILM but maybe someone here can help:

I have a track ID request, this has been bothering me for years. I'm not sure if anyone even remembers this, but let's give it a try... If you watched MTV Europe in the nineties, you probably remember that they sometimes used run these inserts between the ad breaks and the shows. They were kinda like the famous MTV logo animations, but longer, and they often used pre-existing tunes, sometimes mixed together. Now, one of these inserts featured glowing, flickering, black & yellow images of guys in commando ski-masks, urban landscape, skulls, electricity, etc - rather industrial type of imagery. The music playing during the clip was a fast acid house tune (with 303) with the guitar riff from Metallica's "Unforgiven" mixed on top of it. I really liked the acid house tune, but I never found out what it was, so I wonder if someone else might've seen the same clip and recognized the tune?

I've been trying to find the actual video clip online, but so far with no results. I guess there's no archive site for old MTV inserts?

― Tuomas, 27. elokuuta 2008 0:16 Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

Okay, I just realized that the riff wasn't actually from "Unforgiven" but from "Wherever I May Roam" - the jangly bit in the beginning of the song.

If anyone can find this MTV insert online, you'll have my undying gratitude.

Metal shows, accessible by Boston public transport, that I want to go to. It's easier to get to NY than fucking Worcester or Hartford, and none of the above are very convenient. Grr.

Trying to find the name of a book about wannabe rappers which profiles a pre-fame Eminem. Came out late 90s/early 00s and I'm fairly sure is written by a Brit.

Don't know about the book, but I did find this :-)

Photos of the Guns & Rockets graffiti in the South Bank underpass near Waterloo Station... Surely loads of people must have taken photos of it in the early 80s?

Bob Six, Sunday, 7 June 2009 11:17 (fourteen years ago) link

Oops ...Love and Rockets... (Not some kind of Guns and Roses/Love and Rockets cross-over band)

three months pass...

The other day there was a great photo from the Cleveland Cavaliers training camp of LeBron and Shaq clowning around. LeBron was pretending to pick Shaq up by the shirt, Shaq was making a goofy face and LeBron had a perfect dead pan. I've GIS'ed around but can't find it...can anyone help?

Aha! It was from that photo shoot, but a different frame. ESPN or the AP or somebody used it on one of their stories. Thanks!

A site where you can paste the URL of another site to make it look like that second page is on fire, gets bullet holes in it, gets tomatoes thrown at it, has a dinosaur walk over it, is in an earthquake, that kind of visual effect. I know it exists and I thought I wasn't bad at googling, but I give up now.
