The name of an American film/music critic from the 1930'S/40'd. I think Frank Kogan may have namedropped him.

Skin thickness varies with age and body location, but averages only 1 to 2 millimeters (0.04 to 0.08 inches) thick.

Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 21:01 (fifteen years ago) link

started in 40s, prominent through the 60s, probably too obvious for billy's query, tho I know kogan/mark s are fans, so...

thanks Noodle, but I think that only applies to the epidermis?

Granny Dainger, Wednesday, 2 July 2008 21:47 (fifteen years ago) link

I don't think so, the FDA website I got that from says that's the whole skin, epidermis and dermis.

The ILE thread where Dan first shared with us the term "bootyflakes."

Information about a Christmas-themed parody of "Rapper's Delight," probably by a group calling itself The Sugar Plum [Sugarplum?] Gang.

The search function's been upgrade since this question was posed, but damned if I'm gonna use it. Ugh.

Lyrics for "Paralysed" by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy.

I got as far as "I got a girl, way across down, sho won't come around unless I roll the sash down"

Mark G, Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:52 (fifteen years ago) link

"I got a girl, way down south, lives in a poo-stained house"

ledge, Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:54 (fifteen years ago) link

Reply to czn, no it wasn't Manny Farber, I think this critic may have died in the 40s or 50s, and was one of the first to write seriously on popular music in the 1930s.

Anyone who may be interested in the photography series I was looking for, it was this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1256109/

Billy Dods, Thursday, 30 October 2008 13:59 (fifteen years ago) link

first line is a a lot clearer on Paralyzed '80s:

"I got a girl, way down south, she ain't gonna see me 'less I pull my shades down, paralyzed"

Think I'll go mad if I try to decipher any more.

ledge, Thursday, 30 October 2008 14:06 (fifteen years ago) link

ok it is "across town" not "down south".

The Return of Pipecock Jackson by Lee Perry

sexyDancer, Friday, 31 October 2008 00:25 (fifteen years ago) link

four weeks pass...

As far back as I can remember, which must be something like 1978 ish, there was a canal bucket dredger that appeared just every now and again on the M.S.Canal near our home. This thing would be dredging about three hundred yards or so down the canal and made the most haunting echoing bucket scraping noises all day long.

This thing utterly fascinated me as a kid, I would stand and watch it for hours. Once it was so close to the road side when I returned home from school that I failed to get home and just stood there until my parents had to send out a search party.

1979 was probably the last time I saw this thing.

So did the internet search function provide me with the fond memories of this iron beast from my childhood? weeeeell, I think I found a photo of the dredger I'm looking for, but...

The Witton II Bucket Dredger

the damn thing's sunk.

video of a kevin kilbane wondergoal for everton about 4-5 years ago. beat two men with a neat turn, covered about twenty yards and finished with a scorcher from fully 25-30 yards.

its vital for the faith my little brother has in me that i can prove this happened.

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

StanM, Friday, 24 April 2009 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link

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.

kate78, Friday, 24 April 2009 19:25 (fifteen years ago) link

!!! 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.
