im having trouble finding that thread that is 'waiting' for the 20,000th fazer.. anyone?

http://www.fazed.org/forum/view/?id=25142 

Thanks RP, I can drive now. 

. for some reason i thought it was called telegard,

You would be correct on the name. I have a copy of it for a C064 emulator!!! 

i would love for someone to find me some episodes of the VERY short-lived Saturday Morning Cartoon called "Turbo Teen". It's about a kid who, when he eats something hot, turns into a red crime-fighting sports car. 

You'd also enjoy the episode of Futurama where Bender turns into a Werecar. The transformation scene is eerily reminiscent of that kid/car show (which I have seen) 

My oldest son wants a skateboard for xmas, since he's doing great in school, so going against my better judgement (risk of injury) I'm gonna get him one. Any ideas where I can get a decent one, something that holds up, looks cool to a 7 year old and is safe, if there is such a thing. I don't want a walmart one, something better but not Tony Hawk either... 

There's basically gonna be crap boards (walmart)
and there's good boards.

A good, new set-up's gonna be at least $100. You can get it at any skate shop.

but 7 years old huh? Shit. I fucked my shit up when I was in high school on a board...

I'd be a little concerned about this present. He will get hurt. Plus skateboarding is a LOT harder than anyone thinks and he may get frsutrated with it and never use it again.

/ex skater, skate or die 

yeah, he's young but of course he will wear the full compliment of safety equipment, although that's no guarantee. We've discussed that it is hard and that it take a lot of practice. He understands and seems willing to put in the time. We have some nice, flat streets in my neighborhood and I think he has reasonable expectation that for now, he'll be using it to JUST go up and down those streets, no Tony Hawk stuff :) 

Well if he's ok with wearing a helmet and pads... and you're ok wtih spending like $120...

I suggest wrist guards. I fell on my wrists a lot and now they suck.

So just go in a shop and ask for a complete deck. I STRONGLY suggest a Zero deck (the wood part haha). For the rest... doesn't really matter, just say it's for a 7 year old and get the basic parts, they'll put it together for ya. 

Here's a fucking bonus for ya.

I'm looking for the orphanage freestlye. It's about a 55 min freestyle featuring slug, eyedea, aesop rock, blueprint, etc.

I used to have it, not anymore :(

SRSLY mega points if you find it.

I found it somewhere, but theres no sources for it, its in the queue though.
Ill drop another line if I eventually can dl it.

That'd be awesome, hard to accomplish but awesome.

I was listening to the radio this morning and a talk show was highlighting funny sports names. I swear I heard them say there was a football player named Diarrhea McPenis. I've Googled the crap (pun intended) out of this but cannot find any validation of this.

I have a $10 bet that it is real, help me win?

It probably would've been on either this list or this one, if it were real. 

The only chance I have is this article which states that he is a recruit 

I think you've been had. 

Ransome: How about a good download of the old lucasarts game "Indiana Hones and The Fate of Atlantis"? I've been keeping an eye out for years but have never come across one.

yay, another fan! every time i mention the "old lucas arts adventure games" to anyone they give me a blank stare and assume the game sucks. this link is a bittorrent file download for ALL the old SCUMM games playable on the current version of SCUMMVM. thats SCUMM virtual machine, it lets you play those games on any computer, they even have ports to like the DS and the PSP and shit. anyway, http://www.btmon.com/Games/PC/ScummVM_Games_Collection_v2006-04-16.torrent.html
ps it took my laptop like 3 days to download it, if you just want fate of atlantis, pm me and i can email it to you or something.
pps LOOM rocks! 

Speaking of that... I need want to find two abandonware titles:
Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures
Star Wars: Yoda Stories 

have you tried http://www.abandonia.com?
*is also a fan of yoda stories*
sometime just googling "'oldgame[n]' + free download" will find it 

to say nothing of the legality of all this, i think abandonware is OK. I know for a fact that some companies never abandon copyrights, most of the non-lucasarts scumm games are still under copyright. but im sure that won't stop an enterprising young man such as yourself now will it? *wink* 

HELP.....in the midst of our "girl night guys suck bud light and cigs kick ass" night, we were talkin about this county song that no one can rememer...just the lyrics...

just like evey lock has to have a key...something something

GO! 

I tried and couldn't find it. 

woo hoo neil mccoy....and thank ya bob...google ftw 

From above with the abandonware. Try out The Underdogs, they have a lot of nice old titles for download. 

This may be an impossible challenge. I'm looking for a specific Christmas compilation album in the unending sea of random Christmas compilation albums. It has great sentimental value, and it would be a nice Christmas surprise for my wife if I could replace our lost copy. The problem is I only had a homemade cassette copy of this thing 15 years ago, and I have no idea what the album title is, or any of the various artists. However, I remember what most of the songs are, and what order they appear in.

If I can find a music site that would allow an advanced search like "albums where track one is blah", or "albums that include these 5 song titles", I think I could find it. Anyone know of a really flexible music searching site? 

have you tried cdnow.com?
Their search engine is pretty good. 

Mostly just googling the song title in quotes works. At least it'll give you a list of albums to check. 

I've tried cdnow, cdbaby, cduniverse, allmusic, amazon, and others. It's an unusual search, and I haven't found a site that has the weird options I'm looking for. And of course, the songs are standard Christmas carols, so I get thousands of google hits on any combination of song titles. 

Speaking of obscure music: There's an 80's song, sounds like it was British, where they keep singing about going "dancing at the palais" (or something like that). Can't find it. Help? 

^The Kinks: Come Dancing? 

ah put the songs in order with quotes?

Just put all the songs in the serach box and filter the way through.

BUt you don't remember the album, artists, label... nothing?

i need help finding statistics for camping in the US
and also other recreational activities
but stats on camping and outdoor activities are more important
google aint helping me too much 

What kind of stats?

I haven't found a music search site that will allow for multiple song title searches. Let me know if you know of one. A plain google search on the song titles returns far too many hits to be useful.

BUt you don't remember the album, artists, label... nothing?

Unfortunately, I never knew any of that info, since we only had an unlabeled knockoff copy of the album to begin with. And it was a "various artists" compilation, so it's a needle in a haystack. 

OK EyeOpener

Give us a list of the songs, in order, right here, right now, comma. 

right here, right now

There is no other place I want to be

right here, right now

Watching the world wake up from history 

1. Sleigh Ride (instrumental, Boston Pops kind of feel)
2. O Holy Night (sounds like a tenor performing)
3. The Holly and the Ivy (symphonic, Aaron Copeland-y Americana arrangement)
4. Silver Bells (m/f duet, the dude sounds like Robert Goulet)
5. Adeste Fideles
6. O Tannenbaum (not Nat King Cole, but another male singer)

There are another half dozen or so, but the titles and order get hazy after that point.

By this logic... 

I really hope no one notices that. 

For all the UK people, i was looking for the mp3 of the countdown theme that ends with the dead person noise on a heart machine, i've heard it before, but cant find it. you know the flatline alert, right at the end of the music.
Thanks.

amount of money spent annually on outdoor activities
how many people go camping/hiking etc
how many kids go to summer nature camps

You might have to go and check the websites for each state campground service.

here's one of the ones for NY

try this? 

does anyone remember a video posted a while back showing a kid playing an arcade games? he was playing both players at once and the game was a side scroller like galaxian or viper phase 1 

this is an odd one, but someone at work is asking me to find a way to remove the curse of diablo. apparently it's a mexican superstition, and this guy bought a statue of the devil without knowing it, and now thinks it's the reason he's having bad luck. i searched on google for diablo curse/remove diablo curse, and all i got was 800 pages for diablo the videogame. this guy thinks he has to either burn it, or bury it in a hole. anybody from mexican heritage ever heard of this, or has anyone any idea where i can get this guy his info so he quits talking about it? i was just going to make something up, but i didn't want him finding out the "real" removal method after the fact. 

I need help finding my buzz. That throw up episode with my niece kinda put that aside.

Tell him to quit being a pussy. Mail it to some place in Africa without a return address. They've got so much bad luck there; what's a little more? 

There is someone on Fazed who rents RVs in CA...

I would like to get a quote.

I must drive to Texas and pick up 400 cases of Coors Light THEN drive back to Atlanta with the beer - must avoid smokeys also.

Actually it's for Bonaroo next year.

Please help - thanks. 

^oh - who is this person? - doh.
