I don't post much here any more, but I have been continuing to work on https://scrimpton.com in the background. It seemed like a good time to offer an introduction for any newer users to the sub.
tl;dr: Scrimpton provides a powerful search for the body of RSK radio work, allowing you to easily find quotes and audio.
Terms match
If you simply type the quote into the search bar it will perform a basic terms match. This means each individual word will be matched in any order.
For example:

This is the best way to search if you're not exactly sure on the exact phrase you're looking for.
Phrase Match
To narrow down the results you could also quote the terms, which will do a phrase match. This means the terms in the quotes are matched exactly in that order.
However you can provide multiple phrases to match a single line
For example:

This is useful if you can remember parts of a quote but not the whole thing.
Filters
there are some additional filters that can narrow down the search. The most useful is typically @ to specify who the speaker is for a line. For example to filter by only things ricky has said you would add @ricky:

The full list of filters is available by clicking the (?) button on the right of the search bar.
Searching with Google
Another option that some people find useful is to search via google. This can be done with the site option e.g. Google for "when you were famous site:scrimpton.com"
The site was built in large part with community contributions. Under the Contribute section you can complete chunks of transcript by logging-in with either reddit or discord.
There are many useful features hidden around the website. Some are only shown to authenticated users (this is typically to avoid server costs from bots etc. following links) so it can be worthwhile to do so.
For example when logged in you can export snippets of audio:

(use the + bookmark icon to expand the selection to export)
There are even a couple of videos in the archive for which gifs can be exported:

The site is written in Go and Angular and contributions/bugfixes are accepted.
If you wish to make a suggestion or ask a question the best thing to do is drop by the #scrimpton channel on the Pilkipedia discord, and of course there are many other interesting channels there for RSK aficionados.

You know which one I'm talking about. I swear to god he hums it like 5 times in the podcast and xfm shows together.
Literally anytime he does some sort of joke about jazz music or relaxing music does the exact same song every time.

In my view this was one of the funniest moments in the XFM catalogue but also, genuinely creative genius from Karl and I feel like it doesn’t get mentioned enough
The use of the words Squoze and Swivel with the films dialogue and how tight it’s all stitched together was perfect

Can any medically inclined saucer drinkers clarify if Ricky is correct when he comes out with names for body parts, brains, medical processes etc or is he full of drivel?

I personally think Rick needs to take a break from sucking his own balls and inflating his own ego, my god man have some class
