openA game on Windows 98 Videogame
I remember a vegetable where you line up 3 vegetables (one was definitely a tomato, while I think one was a cabbage and the last was...a potato...or something, but the vegies were all different colours) to get rid of them. The icon of the game was a tomato. I seem to recall the name was "Vege" but I can't seem to find any evidence of it on the internet (it just gives me Vege Tales instead). The background of the matching section was fluorescent green, and when you started a new game it had the title of the game on the fluorescent green part in all caps (I don't recall the colour of the title font). When matches were made, the game made distinctive video game noises. Matches could be made in all directions including diagonals (I seem to remember it that way, at least).

open"My Kentucky Blue!" Live Action TV
okay so like, i remember seeing this quite a few years back, possibly on a VHS, but i dont remember anything about the main character. but i do remember... -one of the characters has a radio station which was obtained through a method that involved a walkie-talkie with duct-tape on it -the kid with the radio station had a pet lizard that died -In the same episode, he played a bland-name product version of stratego with his lizard -the kid knows a superhero character -the superhero is a pretty minor character -at the end of the summer, the kid beats up the ocean with the superhero character -in one episode, he messed up his dad's lawn on what might've been a 4th of july episode -something about kentucky blue -he might've tried to drive a lawnmower to canada? like one of those big ones you sit in -In one of the episodes, the kid heard a song he really likes and decides to actually play music on his show, but only that song (played live in an attempt to remember the whole thing) until everyone else who was playing the song with him convinces him to allow other songs -an ice-cream man in a sort of mascot suit thing who might not have actually talked? -The only thing i can remember about the actual main character is he was part of an episode that had something to do with word problems in algebra -At one point i think the superhero managed to do pretty well in bowling because his bowling ball had a hamster inside of it controlling it, which he (i guess) telepathically communicated with??? -I'll ad more when i remember more
openPost-apocalypse Power Rangers Live Action TV
I remember watching this show as a child, where humanity had been all but wiped out by an evil AI. There was one city left, and was protected by the Power Rangers. The woman who created the power rangers was revealed to have created the AI, and the AI's human looking spy was revealed to be the black ranger's (who was white) mind controlled sister
openhong kongesque action drama Film
Central plot was about some imperial family and an upcoming festival. Lots of backstabbing and plotting. Im pretty sure it ended with the dad killing the rest of the family. I also remember a scene with wire fu in a mountain pass. Came out late 2000s early 10s. For some reason im pretty sure curse of the golden something was in the title but that may be completely wrong since IMDB didn't turn up anything that looked familiar.
openShort story on the moon Literature
A short sf story, I think I read it in the late 80s, early 90s, but it's probably older than that, set in a future where the US, UK and Russia (I can't remember if it was called the USSR or not) all have lunar cities. I don't remember the actual storyline, what I remember is an aside that the American and Russian cities all have regular grids of numbered streets, and the British started out doing that but, being British, ended up with negative numbers and fractions, because regular grids of streets are anathema to us.
openchildrens programme, possibly religious, with an elf Live Action TV
Aired in Australia in the '80s. There was a religious programme (I think) featuring, as a gimmick, someone (I think it was a woman) dressed up as an elf (in green felt costume, IIRC). One episode had the hosts and some children placing a microphone upon their hearts. The elf character fails and picks up gastric rumbling instead.
openCan't remember a Space Sci-fi show from Late 90's Live Action TV
I was talking with some friends about older Sci-fi space themed tv shows, and I couldn't remember the name of one I saw once on TV. I believe it appear late one night on some network meant for kids as part of their teen programming. It starred 3 teens ( 1 girl, 2 boys) who attended some kind of space academy and where transported across the galaxy. They met up with an alien and find some old earth exploration vessel, all while being chased by some kind of great armada. I remember they had some kind of Mecha robots they later armed int he show as well.
I don;t believe very many episodes where made as I never saw it again, but as a sci-fi junky and being in my youth at the time, I find it annoying I can;t remember a title.
openI just remember the theme song Live Action TV
What was the name of the show whose theme song was a version of the lollipop song and one of the scenes featured in the song was a kid holding his nose and dancing in the school hallway?
openWeird (possibly stop motion) show that aired in Canada years ago
I say Canada because it was so weird that I doubt it was anywhere else other than the internet. It was really bizzare, with no real dialogue, I think it was stop motion but I don't remember. It had clownish characters, some really creepy ones too, and in almost every intro, there was a seemingly headless dude who'd run across the screen in the background and flail his arms around. I think the main characters were really short and funny looking. I don't remember anything else . I think the setting was a circus or something. I remember this show as a little kid bUT I never learned the name. This was a kids show, too. It was in british columbia, Canada. I was younger than ten, and I'm 16now.I'm just trying to give extra info incase that helps. I've searched multiple things but can't find anything.
openJapanes Live Action Sitcom Live Action TV
The seed of the plot was that this college aged guy helped out all the clubs on campus, but the money he was using to do so came from a cash advance/credit card sort of machine and he hit is maximum balance. At some point he ends up in debt to the local organized crime boss and has to work really hard to get enough money.
Eventually he comes up with the idea of running a craigslist like trade/barter facilitation business, where he uses a pedal cargo bike thing to transport the stuff to the different people who put stuff on his site. He even does multistage trades. There are the usual setbacks and sudden emergencies to restore the status quo, and he ends up doubling his debt to the mobster at least once.
openfantasy webcomic about wizard, girl and ghost
I remember stumbling into this nicely drawn, full-colour fantasy webcomic a few years ago. It was about a young, dark-skinned, bumbling (wannabe) wizard guy who meets a mysterious girl and her late brother, who's a ghost now. It had a certain clock-punk feel to it, as the characters were wearing somewhat 18th century-looking clothes.
Edited by aziukaopenan epiaode of a show Live Action TV
I remeber an episode about a guy whose birthday occurs . he and his friends decide to go to a cabin in the woods. They think the owner of the cabin is a murderer so they tie him up. It later turns out the owner of the cabin was innocent. Does anybody know the title of this episode and what series it came frome?
openScary Story series or collection with one story about a snake man Literature
I remember reading a scary story book that was either three scary stories in one book or part of a series of scary stories that didn't include the same protagonists (a la Goosebumps). The story I remember was one about a girl who lived on a military base (I think?) near a swamp in the south. The main girl meets and befriends a young native american girl whose grandmother warns them not to go into the swamp after dark (or at all, I forget) because of the snake man who lives there. I want to say his name is Lakoti, like the Lakota tribe who I think is mentioned as being the tribe the other girl and her grandma belong to, but I might be wrong. Anyway, of course they don't listen and go into the swamp and manage not to get eaten or killed because they can hear the snake guy coming because he makes a "Sss... click... click" noise. I've tried googling it but all I can find is the legend itself from the Lakota tribe IRL, but not the short story. Not sure if it helps, but I'm pretty sure the snake guy himself was on the cover, and was either gray or purplish.
openCartoon involving sheep and wolves Western Animation
I think the sheep were the main characters, and the wolves were villains. It was on DVD, and had singing in it.
openKids show about a weird boarding school Live Action TV
A live-action kids show that aired on Australian TV, probably in the Rollercoaster timeslot, at least ten years ago. It was kind of like the X-Files for kids. It was set in a boarding school for boys, although there was one female student as well (or maybe the other way around?). In one episode the protagonist got frustrated about how he would always lose one sock of a pair. When he went to investigate the dryer, he wound up in a Pocket Dimension that was literally nothing but socks.
I don't think it was Freaky, nor Seriously Weird. But I could be wrong.

There was this flash game I loved playing, probably some time in the early 2010s. You're playing as a wadded up ball of paper, and you have to roll it to the finish in each level. You can draw with the mouse to create platforms for the ball of paper. I think there were pencils and/or erasers as obstacles. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
