Writer and Uncyclopedian of the Month, and Noob of the Moment

I believe it was famed and renowned philosopher Nicki Minaj who once wrote that "Once in every great while, there comes a writer to this world, perhaps in the form of a novelist, perhaps a playwright, perhaps even an elephant beaten to death with a grandmother who happens to be clutching a pen in his dying moments, who really exemplifies the true nature of the prolific writer. Quality in numbers, and numbers of the utmost quality, creating visions of a better world, visions of a kinder world, visions of the Crimean War. It has been my great privilege to have met this writer, the one and only IFYMB!, whose tireless efforts have assured me that the future of hip-hop will stay crunk. He's been like a brother to me. A brother that I had sex with."
No, wait a minute. That's not right. It was definitely Christian Bale who wrote that.

For a second straight month, nobody has won Noob of the Moment, leaving RedHot the undisputed reigning champion for another thirty days. Because nobody won this month, I'm going to tell you a little story instead of a blurb about the winner.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Peter. Peter was a remarkably ordinary person, except for the peculiar fact that he lived in a ferris wheel. This led to many zany circumstances and situations at a circus. The circus people liked him, even though the bearded lady found him a little creepy. But she should talk, bearded ladies are just creepy themselves.
Anyways, they all had a lot of fun and eventually he died, and they put a statue of him outside of the ferris wheel. I don't know where I was going with this.
