Name:What Was That One . . .
About:

"what was that one . . . "


What was that one commercial with the guy doing the stupid dance?
What was that one song with the line that said something about a fat man?
What was that one thing about the San Francisco Vampire?

We all know the feeling.

You're sitting there trying to remember some odd tidbit about politics, history, science, pop culture, whatever. No one is able to help, and all your friends are sitting around biting their lips and snapping their fingers trying to remember. And you guys start thinking about it all day, knowing it'll bother you if you can't friggin' figure out what "that one" was.

This community is for people who want to pose a question like that to a huge group of people who might be able to help them out, or people who know all the answers and can deliver them quick as lightning.



Rules (there has to be a few)
- No promos, trolls, or spam -- they merit an instant ban.
- Flaming, rudeness, and other LJ drama are also grounds for banning.



Posting Requests (from the mods and the members)
- This is not a random questions community! We are here to help you remember things, not to show you around the internet. Please think twice before you post!
- Before you post, please check with Google (or any of the appropriate databases listed below); your answer may be right there!
- When posting, please be as specific as possible, and include any details you can!
- If possible, please edit your posts with the correct answers below the original questions in your post for faster archive browsing. :)
- PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do NOT "strike" the question out once it's been answered, other's may want to be able to read it later, to trigger their own memory!
- ** NEW! ** Please try to tag your posts with keywords, so our community can become a searchable database! READ THIS for details on how to correctly tag your 'whatwas' post.

Thank you! :D
