Free the Band MP3s
Back in what I think was 2006, when the All-American Rejects released their Move Along Album, and Bionicle was doing their Toa Inika line, they did a crossover of the two, saying the Piraka had kidnapped the AAR. There was a website up that had some games, clues, and contests, and in one of the two games where you conttrol the Toa, you could collect free MP3s. I had collected them all when it came out, but was unable to get them to my new computer and forgot about them for two years. But I remembered them and finding a link to the site I gathered most of the names of the MP3s. The links to them do not work so I am going to buy them, but I know there were some I didn't get. Using my memory and the game I got these songs:

Don't Try This At Home - Punchline

Emergency - Paramore

Skip to the End - Futureheads

Rise - Todd Hanigan

Can't Look Down - Zox

Can't Stop - Love Arcade

Out Here All Night - Damone

So Far We Are - French Kicks

What's On Your Radio - The Living End

All of the Above - Big City Rock

Learn to Fly - Carbon Leaf

Gunslinger (Runnin' Outta Time) - Over It

There was also a song by a band called Undertones and a song or band that had something to do with Satellites. If anyone could tell me the names of these mystery songs or any other songs I missed I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. BioYu-Gi! (talk) 03:20, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

A late 80's/early 90's Japanese anime TV show
I don't remember much about it, but it had to do with a group of young animals searching for whatever in the wild. At the end they were killed one by one by wolves or something, when one of their stronger members died or was killed. 67.243.7.41 (talk) 14:59, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

house in Mill Valley
When "The Ted Knight Show" (part of the Too Close For Comfort package) relocated to Mill Valley, there was another Victorian house shown. Where is the exact location of that house?69.203.157.50 (talk) 04:18, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Samuel L. Jackson's first use of motherfucking or motherfucker?
What was Samuel L. Jackson's first onscreen use of a derivative word of motherfuck, for which he is now famous? Was it Pulp Fiction (and inherited from Tarantino's writing style) or did it start sooner?--Sonjaaa (talk) 20:20, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * One of his earliest speaking roles was a somewhat middle-sized part in Goodfellas. Given the nature of his character, and Scorcese's penchant for use of colorful language, I would not be surprised if the right answer was Goodfellas... --Jayron32. talk . contribs  02:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I thought that might be the case as well, but the YouTube clip of his short exchange with Pesci's character before getting shot just has him saying "fuck", not "motherfucker". I can't remember if he had any major speaking roles in Goodfellas or not. Even if he did say it before Pulp Fiction, and chances are that he did, the word probably wasn't nearly as prominent as it was in PF, as in the scene with the wallet, etc. Alexius  Horatius  03:24, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Jackson's role in Goodfellas was minor, with Jackson speaking a couple of lines at most, none of them memorable. (His only important scene was him getting shot.) You may remember him as the DJ in Do the Right Thing, but of course he didn't do a lot of swearing while on the radio. His first truly memorable scene, complete with "motherfucker", was in Jungle Fever, although of course it was Tarantino's writing in Pulp Fiction a couple of years later that made Jackson's swearing iconic. —Kevin Myers 04:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
