So I was learning about a burial artist named Country Bill White, and found that, in a 1987 interview with the Orlando Sentinel, he mentioned a song he wrote with a band named the Sunset Playboys while he was buried in Houston called "Graveyard Rock", a parody of "Jailhouse Rock". The band was headed by a friend of his named Larry Butler, and you'll often see it listed in local Texas newspapers from the 60s to 70s as "Larry Butler and his Sunset Playboys". It was apparently the first country song Country Bill White recorded, and it inspired him to pursue a career in country music alongside his burial artist career, and according to him, the lyrics went something like “Buried in a hole about 6 feet down, sucking on a beer ‘way under this ground.”
I can't find this song mentioned anywhere else online. Nothing about it comes up in newspaper archives except for the Orlando Sentinel interview. It's not clear from the interview as to whether the song was recorded or the lyrics were written down anywhere, and the man himself and Larry Butler appear to have died nearly a decade ago, so I'm not quite sure where to start in looking for this. I should note that it is not related to the 2016 parody of Jailhouse Rock made by Count Von Kelley also titled Graveyard Rock.

The Video Game History Foundation has found the Glucoboy! The DAT-o-Matic entry for it can be found here, and the ROM itself can be found here. It does not work in any emulators at the moment as the hardware has not been emulated yet, but hopefully that'll change soon enough. ~Red

According to Wikipedia, Ted Adams (the IDW one) founded a company named Clover Press a few years back. Maybe you can find contact information by searching for information on that company? Here's their website: cloverpress.us ~Nai

I know this is necroing an old thread, but it turns out every comic was available in an obscure directory on this person's website the whole time. Whoops. Having the Wayback Machine crawl it now. Here's the link: moonside.kontek.net/smaaaash/ ~Nai

We know it's been a while, but I think it'd be interesting to open this search back up. See if any new info has surfaced and such. Might make a new thread on this later. ~Jacob

This is cool. I'll mirror them on archive.org soon if you haven't already. If you're interested, I have some previously lost bumpers for the Colossal Colosso Takeover marathon and one for the sneak peek of I Am Frankie (the I Am Frankie and one of the Colossal Colosso Takeover bumpers are in the same video). Not all of them are here, meaning some are still lost and likely lost forever. Sorry for the low quality recording (use headphones) and shaky cam. I stabilized it the best I can. mega.nz/#!KdwmxKqJ!PJNpj5be2sm_KiCxPAfNcVOyKOucTzqvbdwdfZ_87Q8
Yeah, orphaned is correct. People can ask archive.org admins to remove files they don't want people to have access to, and more often than not, they comply. No clue why Mojang/Microsoft would WANT the old jars removed, but who knows. Someone else masquerading as Mojang could've asked for the file's removals, too, because from what I've seen, all you have to do is ask.
It may be old, but would not have been accurate even back then. You couldn't ever play Indev on archive.org because the jar file was missing. Same thing with old (earlier than 0.30) classic versions. Archive.org never had those jar files, because if they did, they still would. Archive.org doesn't delete webpages that its page archiving bots have found and archived, nor does it delete any archived resources (such as png files, jar files, css files, etc) that are associated with pages that are in its archives.
