Actress  
I'm trying to remember the name of this actress/film. I remember seeing it on Netflix but now I can't seem to find it. I think it was an independent film, teen drama/romance, the girl was addicted to drugs? Something weird going on with their parents? They go to a field, there's a pick-up truck. The actress is youngish (in her 20s), has blonde hair with straight-across bangs, and freckles.

Really old computer game  
Like, early 90's. It had a mummy that chased you all over the place and you had to go all over looking for the result of a simple math problem you had at tbe side, like subtractions and additions and so on. It had a lot of stairs, too. It was kinda egiptian looking.

YA Holocaust Novel?  
Trying to remember the name of a Holocaust novel I read in sixth grade. It was about a girl and her sister (I think) who were sent to a concentration camp, and the one thing I remember distinctly is that their father made candy, so the Nazis asked her if she could make candy for them. Anyone know what this book is? Thanks!

(no subject)  
So it's a book or movie and a girls talking with her boyfriend and something that is happened to her and she's explaining it to him and he says sometimes I don't believe the things that you tell me and she says something like well it's true or something like that and he says well all the bad things must happen to just see you then.

Sorry for the lack of punctuation but I'm using my voice to Text in my car but I wanted to get this out before I forgot by the time I got home

search for a list of things at once  
found! never mind, finally hit the keywords: searchopener.com if anyone is interested

There is a website where you can paste in a text list of items, and it will open an individual search page for each item in the list.

I cannot remember what it is called, and I cannot find anything similar. The amazing thing is that I initially found this website by thinking 'you know what would be useful? A website that runs an individual search for every item in a list' so I googled and found one. Now it seems there is no combination of words I can put into google that will return it.

Does anyone know it, or know of any similar sites?

Song about a slide and distant eyes?  
I heard this song in a shop today and thought it would be easy enough to find but my google-fu is failing me!

The singer was a woman and it was quite a sweet, delicate sounding song. From what I could gather, it sounded like she was singing about being in a playground and I'm pretty sure the lyrics mention another person being on a slide (of course, it might not have been talking about a literal slide and I might have totally misunderstood!) or perhaps on the swings. I specifically remember the phrase 'her distant eyes' or something to that effect following the line about the slide. Maybe the song was about the singer watching a woman/girl in the playground? It sounded quite recent but again, I could be totally wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Australian Advert with a huge Trapdoor Spider  


Hey,

About 10 years ago here in Australia, there was a TV ad, I THINK for some radio station, with two guys sitting around a campfire in the Outback, listening to a radio. The radio DJ says: "Give us a call! We'll talk about ANYTHING!" at which point one of them men is dragged underground by an ENORMOUS (car-sized) CGI trapdoor spider that pops out of a burrow behind him. Remaining guy rings the radio station and says: "I'd like to talk about spiders. Really big spiders."

Ring any bells, anyone? Trying to youtube it without success

Trying to find a song.  
Someone asked me to find a song, and I'm coming at a bit of a loss.

I know it's a country song, and one of the points in the plot of the song was that a man went and robbed a store or a gas station with a woman sitting in the car while he did so. I want to say the lyric there was "She didn't sign up for this"...

I have googled and googled and am coming up with nothing.

It is Not:

"Nothing Better to Do" by Leann Rimes
"Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde" by Travis Tritt


Any luck? Thanks.

EDIT: She says it Is "Walkaway Joe". Thanks, kids! You're the bestest.

Book, possibly a school story.  
I read this book years ago, but all I can remember from it is a girl trying to deepen her dimples by poking a pencil into them.

I can't remember if she was the main character, or just a friend, or if the dimple-deepening was seen as a cool thing or a totally stupid thing.

Thanks!

Name that phrase!  
I'm trying to remember a word/phrase I've definitely seen before. It refers to something like the measure of 'gender equality' in a peice of literature or media. It might be a 'test', like XXX Test and in context you might say "If we apply the XXX Test to Game of Thrones, you will see etc etc"

Any ideas?
