I need help finding an internet cartoon I saw several years ago. The only thing I remember about is that it had a big monster who said "The world is a cruel place" in a scratchy, monster voice to two children. [more inside]

A group of East African bloggers I follow have recently begun circulating the Honest Scrap Award — a sort of informal bloggers' award-slash-meme — among themselves. I thought they had created it, but a quick Google search shows that it's been around since at least December of 2008. Does anyone know where or why it started?

Trying to hunt down a minor internet meme. Looking for examples of someone (fictitiously) trying to sell something online, using copious amounts of foul language. Ex: "Holy shit, you've got to buy these motherfucking oranges, they are goddamn flavorful as hell." [more inside]

I'm looking for back story on a somewhat disturbing photograph which was circulating around the internet around 10-15 years ago. Trouble is, I no longer have a copy of the file, and can't find it. [more inside]

This photo just showed up in a coworker's email. A little searching shows this cartoon. You can also buy the costume. Which came first & how can you tell?

"Dag! That is tight as hell!" It used to be (c.1999) that if you went to the URL www.tightashell.com you'd get a weird picture of a fabio-looking guy with girls hanging all over him and the caption "DAG! That is tight as hell!" It seems the site has changed hands several times over the years, and is now some weird blog. Anyway my question is two-fold.

1) Reality Check: Does anyone else remember this site?

2) Does anyone have a cache of it? =)

Thank you, that is all...
