The O&M Fuzzy Search Engine!

Postby Tavis » Wed Dec 17, 2003 4:23 am

Hi! I was inspired by Penguinita's post about looking for a certain strip in which <a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.org/1998/om19980621.html' target='_blank'>Millie says "I had to wash my Styrofoam!"</a> to set up this thread. Now people have a new place to ask everyone where to find a certain strip using only their fuzzy recollection about it..<br><br>Unlike a "Name that Clip" game, people don't have to find the previous person's strip to post; just post and try to use the QUOTE feature if you're answering a lookup request.<br><br>Okay, let's see how well this goes.<br><br>EDIT: Because this is less a game than a research tool that is meant to be easily accessible, it needed pinning. If you wish to discuss the nature of this thread, go to <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... wtopic=361' target='_blank'>About "The O&M Fuzzy Search Engine!"</a>

that happened to me after i recovered my computer from me putting a non-SP1 thing on my XP with SP1. all i had to do was restore the settings using the thing that came with XP. you should try that, BSP.

Okay, okay.. maybe I can pick out an easy one to help people see how this is supposed to work.<br><br>Do any of you know the one where Millie decides to go on being a dweeb? She's talking with Ozy about something while under a tree.<br>(I had a different hint in mind, but that made it <b>way</b> too easy)

Okay... now I'm thinking of two different strips where characters have clocks in their eyes.. An early one with Stephan, and a later one with Millie. *grins*<br><br>Please, people, post challenges to some you have trouble finding!!

Okay, this one comes from <a href='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... st&p=11494' target='_blank'>Ozymandias the Great</a>. He is supposing that there is at least one more asparagus strip besides the current one about harpooning and the one with Millie's ADD.. Any ideas?

Gamers have lots of lives.<br><br>I think he was bringing a tray of them to something or other.. I haven't had a chance to look for it though.<br><br>EDIT: Poo. After examining <i>all</i> of the strips containing Llewellyn and not finding him carrying any plates of asparagus, I am convinced I had made myself a victim of an false memory. What is really obscene is that I think it was induced by a Martha Stewart episode where she shows off the preparation of some asparagus on one really boring Friday morning this past fall.<br><br>On the bright side, I found a strip that says the name of their county on the side of a school bus. A hint to finding it is provided to the observant in this post.

If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.
