I'm referring to the Goa Tse clan thing that sometimes shows up every time I mistakably place the mouse over the text in a template, or over white space that is created by images and whatnot. It's pretty annoying + unfunny.

To know what I'm talking about: go to any UnSignpost and put your cursor over the text. For me, the mouseover text appears. I find it comes with most templates and white spaces.

Placing the mouse over the white space on the sides on some images (I'm not getting it here though), as you do on www.xkcd.com, presents a message, usually in a yellow box. Now it seems like I'm nitpicking at hair nits, but I can't stress how unfunny that mouseover text is.

Delete please? Thanks. Love you. ---kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 13:34, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Are you talking about the mouseover text for links? Or do you mean something else that I'm not experiencing? Also; what are you wearing right now? I find everything on Uncyc to be funnier when I'm not wearing pants. -OptyC Sucks! CUN14:59, 20 Mar

That's your penis you are looking at not Uncyc. I have no idea what you are talking about Nachlader? Sorry man. Post a link? Does it happen sometimes on an image, but later (on the same image) not happen? MrN 15:04, Mar 20

the most common solution is to "move your goddamn mouse", but that's just what modus yells at me when i leave my toys on his floor, so it might not be relevant. SirGerrycheeversGunTalk 15:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Cancer cancer cancer cancer cancer cancer cancer.

Fine, you callous fucks. Here's a screenie of the damn thing. Cursors don't show up on screenshots, I presume that you all are fully aware of, so use the power of your imagination to pretend it's there on the top left corner of the yellow box. Now do you believe me? ---kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 15:39, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Weird, I don't get that. -OptyC Sucks! CUN15:47, 20 Mar

How do I make my computer do that? I just get a boring "UN:USP"--    15:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh jesus fucking christ. So I'm the only one subjected to this shit? ---kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 15:58, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe it's your web browser that's messing things up. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 16:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I tried this at the computer at school, and I remember seeing the tumour-inducing yellow box on my late laptop a few times. So it's not even this computer, I assumed it was an Uncyclopedia thing, since Joe20494078823180307235783 or whatever, the Fillipino user, bandies about that Goa Tse clan crap. Anyway, is there nothing that can be done about it? It's bad enough that my mind is stuck with the words oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god over and over and over and over and over again and again and I fucking hate oh fucking FUCKING stop it saigdjdskosgjiesidasjdfdsfsayugdhsfu ---kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 16:18, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Somebody much wiser than me once said "Move your goddamn mouse". I can't remember who though. -OptyC Sucks! CUN16:25, 20 Mar

No, fuck that, it's still there. ---kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 16:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

It must be a nation-wide conspiracy. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 16:31, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I can see it now. Bugger knows what's going on. Someone playing a prank I suspect. MrN 16:34, Mar 20

I've already said who it is - Joe9320. I base this on the following reasons:

1. He's the one who started Goa Tse Clan user group (whose membership has the grant total of one).
2. He also likes ending every sentence with "YOU ARE A DICK" or other rude word, and "THEREFORE YOU MUST DIE!".
3. He's also responsible for most unfunny things I find on this site.

Ban him, go on his talk page and insult him, whatever? ---kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 16:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

i have solved the mystery! curiously, this only affects your talk page nach, and it only affects the area below joe's sig. all of the mouseovers in his sig are along these same lines, but the last one is exactly what you're seeing in all the templates following. perhaps the parser broke his sig. i suggest:

1) you find a user who is knowledgable about both sigs and html tags, and ask him/her/it exactly why this sig would muck up your userpage

2)take a chill pill, or alternatively, rub on some chill balm. the new parser change probably broke his sig, it can be fixed readily (or you can just remove it from your talk page). no need for a witch ban hunt. SirGerrycheeversGunTalk 17:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

there! i even fixed it myself, he was missing a </span> tag. i'm a detective and an engineer. i am hereby promoting myself to Cajek. SirGerrycheeversGunTalk 17:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Gerry, I love you. I'll assert it wasn't only my talk page though (Here. The centered images near the bottom, the white space gave me the intoxicating yellow boxes), some other places had it. Anyway, thanks again. I'm going to spend my evening eating cereal. ---kun "whisper sweet nothings into thine ear..." 17:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

yea, i guess it would have been happening anywhere with joe's sig and images below it. i'm fond of you as well. enjoy the cereal. SirGerrycheeversGunTalk 17:30, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
