Can you help me find the name of this?

Question designed so we can help each other find the name of something we’ve forgotten, or can never remember. Book, movie, brand of cereal, you name it!

I’ll start.

A movie, probably from the 60’s. I believe a black man and white woman are the only two people left on Earth after a disaster. Man has a manikin friend that he calls ‘Mrs. Snodgrass’. Set in a large city, possibly New York.

Can’t think of anything for me.

So, what do we do now? Also, are we allowed to Google?

crissy14's avatar

I think “Googling” would take the fun out of this. If I forget something, I can Google it myself. Making others think of it is fun but, we may be sitting for awhile.

I agree with you @crissy14. The OP needs to give us the rules, though.

I don’t care how you come up with an answer, or a question.

I have never heard of the movie that @crissy14, lists, yet, strangely, her answer is CORRECT!

What was the soap with Sky and Raven, played by the original Rachel on Days?

Really? @crissy14 Gourd I’m getting old. That doesn’t ring a bell, either, yet not only have I read it, I studied it in Lit. at college!

You’re 2 for two and I the big 00.

OK here’s one for you. It is a book written within the last 10yrs by a man. The book is about strange things that start to grow on a man’s body. In fact, these growing things talk to him. They end up growing on his balls and goes so crazy listening and looking at these things he cuts his own balls off.

Good luck.

With the movie, Google did me no good, as the only prominent black actor of the time I could think of was Sidney. I knew it wasn’t Cosby.

You know the answer to this book, @crissy14?

crissy14's avatar

Yes. But that’s not the rules of the game, I know.

Cookies that I ate as a kid:
They were about the size and shape of nilla wafers (but they weren’t nilla wafers). The dome wasn’t as poofy. The cookies had dark blue ink prints on the face of them. They were outlined sketches of objects (It could’ve been Halloween or Easter-themed, so bats and pumpkins or bunnies and eggs). They came in boxes similar to the ones animals crackers come in.

I keep remembering a book that ends with a married couple talking with God and being told that the reason that they alone were alive was that they didn’t worship Him as the rest of humanity did. I don’t know if it even really exists, but keep remembering something like it.

You guys need to put your @names in there. Im confused.

My question is a stretch of the rules, but what is the name of that the comedic effect you get when you take a picture and zoom in on it so it’s focused on someone making a weird face or something awkward in the background?

@Pol_is_aware Debby Downering?

Pol_is_aware's avatar

@dxs lol but no I dont think thats it. At some point I knew the name.

ibstubro's avatar

This is a goofy question, @Pol_is_aware. There may be no rhyme or reason to follow.

I didn’t prohibit knowing the answer, @crissy14.
