Name this mystery baseball song

puke & cry — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 18:22:19 -0800

I like to know what this baseball themed song is (that link has autoplaying embedded audio, click here to download the mp3). Its most certainly a kid singing and the lyrics are "baseball is my favorite sport, I play it every day." It's possible from a kids show of some kind. Sorry I only have this short clip from a radio commercial. Googling those lyrics returns one result, which is some guy asking about the same song on a different forum. There's another part of the lyrics that I don't have a sample of that go "baseball, yeah baseball (unintelligible)".

Spotty cat eyes

My cat has dark spots in one of his eyes. Is this something I should worry about? One of my cats has a couple of black-ish spots on his eyeball. The biggest one is a couple millimeters wide but he has a couple more smaller ones. Is this normal? Will it affect his vision?

Help me find a power supply

puke & cry — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 21:41:48 -0800

Does anyone know where I can get a power supply that looks like this? It's 8 5/8th inches long, 1 5/8th inches tall and 3 2/8th inches wide. It attaches to this motherboard and comes from this computer. It has one SATA connector, one peripheral power connector and a 24-pin ATX micro power connector. Emphasis on ATX micro because every time I ask a sales person at an electronic store about it they look at me like I'm crazy. And I can't find anything that looks like this on or offline. I've already contacted the manufacturer but haven't heard anything back from them yet. It's a Delta Electronics model # DPS-108DB-1 A. I can't find it on their website either. I'm either looking for another one or one that can fit in the same space.

Scenes of a monster floating outside a window.

I'm looking for instances (either from movies or tv) of vampires or any other undead-type monsters menacingly floating outside someone's window. I'd like to see clips or pictures of such a scene if you got em. Also, if you have any examples from books, video games or anything else, I'll take those too. I can recall a couple of examples of this - 1) The Simpsons Halloween episode where vampire Milhouse and a bunch of other characters are floating outside Bart's window. I think this is a reference to a similar scene in Lost Boys but I can't be sure. 2) There was a scene like this in Creepshow. (btw, if anyone has a screencap of that, I'd like to see it) Thanks!

Alarm Remote Amplification via head?

puke & cry — Fri, 02 Jun 2006 18:37:10 -0800

A long while ago I picked up a tip that you can extend the range of your car alarm remote by pointing it at your head. I've been trying this for a couple of years and it seems to work, but obviously I have my doubts. Is there any rationale behind this? I specifically put the remote right under my chin. I've tried the remote from long distances, couldn't get it to work. Place the remote under chin, it works. The more I think about it the dumber it sounds. What do you think?

Sniffin' Sticky-Tak?

I've gotten carded at a grocery store for buying Sticky-Tak, otherwise known as adhesive putty. There has to be an explanation for it, but I don't know what it is. Send help.

I want to take a food product with a paste-like

puke & cry — Tue, 18 Jan 2005 19:28:53 -0800

I want to take a food product with a paste-like consistancy and put it in a tube. Is there any way to do this from home, on a small to medium scale?

Two days ago I had an allgergic reaction to two latex bandaids I had on my arm. It's red, has a very bumpy texture, and itches like mad. 1. Is this normal? 2. Now my entire arm occasionally gets covered in goosebumps. Is that bad?
