Welcome![edit | edit source]
Hello, John Lydon, and welcome to Uncyclopedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If not, the door's right over there and there is a window over here if you don't fancy walking down the stairs. Anyway, here are a few good links for people like you:
- Beginner's Guide
- Help Pages
- Our Vanity Policies - why we don't care about your friends
- How to be funny and not just stupid
I hope you enjoy editing here and being an Uncyclopedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or use the "sign" button () above the edit box.
At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but most people enjoy writing something while they are here. If you are critical and think the world would be infinitely better if everyone listened to you, then you should become a teacher, but check out Pee Review while they make sure you aren't a sex offender.
If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. You can also look into the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program.
OK, I know you may have seen this message on lots of other people's pages, but I still had to come to your page to leave it here. If you have absolutely any questions, no matter how trivial, feel free to ask me here.
Here are a couple of important things that you should bear in mind as a brand new user, especially if you can't be bothered reading the beginner's guide.
- Read HTBFANJS I guarantee it will be a huge help to you and will stop your early efforts being deleted on sight.
- If you want to create an article, then simply follow this link: User:John Lydon/My sandbox (obviously you can change the "My sandbox" part to say anything you like). Please don't create articles on this page as this is where other users can contact you.
- Always remember rule 2 and be constructive and civil at all times. It works (mostly) and it won't get you banned.
- Have fun, that is after all why we are all here.
Again, welcome! ChiefjusticePSX 21:30, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
Moving pages[edit | edit source]
Just a heads up, if you need to move a page from your userspace to mainspace in future then you can use the move button that you will find at the top of your page that way it doesn't show as a page blanking and it means you won't have a blank page left in your userspace. Let me know if you have any questions. --ChiefjusticePSX 13:50, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
I was not aware you could do that. That would have been easier. Thanks for the heads up. --—John Lydon 13:52, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
You[edit | edit source]
I've nominated you for Noob of the Month, just so you know who to send the money to thank. —Pelozurian (talk) 04:24, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Cool, thanks. Now if you could just tell my bitch sweet mom that I'm not a total failure and she is wrong about me, that would be awesome. --—John Lydon 16:18, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Sure thing! But only after you fix your signature. —Pelozurian (talk) 23:19, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Tanks[edit | edit source]
Nice work. Did you do it all yourself or spork it from wikipedia or somewhere? If all yourself, more than a nice work, very very nice. Since you are newer, I'll be an asshole and interject some comments which I hope help. A couple of spots were, ah, spotty as I read some of it (haven't read it all). The Rosie O'Donnell thing at the start just threw it off for me, such a contrast from the set up you were doing. And one of the things that is often discouraged here are lists. People call them listcruft or something like that. I had to be learned about that myself when I was a young pup, as well as the random thing, which is where Rosie falls (and what a sound she'd make falling!). Anyway, nice work, and now I wander elsehwere, hither and yon. Al des chains 21:07 18 5 MMX
Thanks for the input. I agree that the Rosie thing feels pretty forced. (Well that sentence just sounds dirty all the way around.) I'll continue tweaking it until I'm happy (or bored) but I thought it was decent enough to be released into the main space. Any chance you know about moving pages? I definitely need some help with that. I'm new to the whole Wiki thing and am learning as I go. Any help you can give on how to properly move pages would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks again for the feedback on the article as well. It's always good to hear what others like and don't like so I can ignore them. (Only kidding) --—John Lydon 21:14, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
- Youse welcome. The only times I've moved a page it's either been just clicking on the "move" button along the top there, next to 'history', or just copy and pasting the whole thing. Yeah, tweaking is the thing, I've read here that the time editing a page should be at least as long as editing it. Many of us tweak our pages for months. I go back over mine and usually find things to change, or links to put in which I'd become aware of since the last time I went thourgh it. Just this morning I was looking at a page of mine which now reads rough in some points. Learning curve, I guess. Al des chains 21:23 18 5 MMX
Nice work[edit | edit source]
For donating high quality material to the Pee Review.
Your latest review was a real improvement on what we have seen from you before. Keep up the good work, it is greatly appreciated. --ChiefjusticePSX 20:05, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
Skunk warfare[edit | edit source]
Dude! Thanks for the review. I've some thinking to do. BTW: I was recently in mob riots and there was the riot boss, paying each and every protester, and the boss wanted "riot deaths" - to blame the government. The people will hardly lift a finger for free. Mobs are organized and paid. But they nuked them before I had a chance to write my article. Ah, well, next time. Cheers!--Funnybony 16:28, May 28
- Wow! You're a genius. As soon as I made the main changes you suggested it is immediately featured on HowTo. Thanks again. Cheers!--Funnybony 17:20, May 29
I'm glad everything worked out. I drink a lot and wasn't really sure if I was actually reviewing your article or just hallucinating. I guess even blind squirrels find a nut now and again. Congrats on the feature! --—John Lydon 13:14, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
Adoption[edit | edit source]
Happy to oblige if it is what you are after. Simply add this: {{Adoptee|ChiefjusticeDS}} to your user page and move all your stuff in by Thursday night. You'll find your mattress in the small cupboard near the stairs, just underneath my satchel.... don't look inside the satchel. Also, don't mind all the people in the bathroom, it's just we haven't anywhere official to put the Pee committee at the moment, so they are using it for the Annual General Meeting. --ChiefjusticePSX 20:26, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
Award from UN:REQ[edit | edit source]
This user created RC Cola, an article originally requested on Uncyclopedia:Requested articles. You're welcome! |
Cow[edit | edit source]
Thanks, that was a good pee. I agree with many of your suggestions and will take some time to think them over. Oh and yeah, the founder's name changing was intentional - this was to give the impression that his parents don't really care about him (ie. they don't really know, or care, what his name is). Perhaps it doesn't work... anyway, thanks again. --Black Flamingo 22:02, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Speaking of Pee, with 6 in-depth reviews, it looks like you're eligible to be in PEEING. And I KNOW I'm right this time.--On Tuesday, 08:48, June 08 2010 UTC
Cheers for all that piss[edit | edit source]
Thanks for the review on the Mafia article. I is a uber n00b, but Uncyclopedia has been my inspiration in the last few hours days decades. I tried to leave as much as possible by other contributors, but after reading ur review I understand most of it was pure random crap and wouldn't fit with the new stuff. Very insightful pissing indeed. Godspeed. --SonOfPhyllis 23:40, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
An invitation I have never used before, anywhere, ever[edit | edit source]
Hello John Lydon, it has come to my attention that your reviews since joining Uncyclopedia have been of a very high standard and as such would like to invite you to join People for the Evaluation of Excrement and Influencing Nominations for Greatness. Membership will grant you several benefits, a groovy template to put... wherever you like and it will also make you eligible for the Reviewer of the Month award, which is a real award with votes and everything.
If this seems like your idea of a good time then simply add your signature to the Fresh Stains section of the committee page, or ask me for help if you aren't sure what to do. Good work so far, keep it up.
--ChiefjusticePSX 18:27, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
Tantra, thanks![edit | edit source]
Hello, and thank you for your pee of Tantra. You gave some very good advice, and Funnybony and I will work from them. The babysitting thing, right on. Will lessen that. Some of the links do need to go, too many at times. I like many of the wikipedia links, because they do a little more to educate the reader interested in tantra yoga and sexual satisfaction. The "thems" line was one I really like, it works when the entire sentence is taken as a whole. Babysitter pic will go, bye bye. But I love the tiger woman! She creeped out Funnybony too! Creepy pic, thumbs up. Well, you did very good, it will help a lot, and I'll get busy on it within the day. Thanks very much again. Aleister 00:44 11 6 MMX
- Hey....only I'm allowed to review Al's articles...even though I'm too busy to... ;__;--On Friday, 07:18, June 11 2010 UTC
Tank you, tank you[edit | edit source]
Thank you for your review of Miss Teen South Carolina. I'm sure pee reviewers don't always get thanked, so I might as well. You provided clarity and direction for future edits, which the article desperately needed seeing as it was concieved on caffeine high (usually never a good idea). I really liked your idea of making a more wholesome encyclopedic article about her, I personally believe that is a good direction to take it. ...like such as. 谢谢你,你很聪明 ^^ --TheGreatOmNom 02:49, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
Anarchists (who R so improper) accusing diplomats of acting improper[edit | edit source]
That is the joke. But it was too out of date for you. I would have deleted it before if I knew how. But thanks for the effort. I read all the review and noted all the advice. Again late thanks, as I just noticed the review. Cheers!--Funnybony 21:23, Jun 12
Tantra too[edit | edit source]
'lo Jo(hn). Per your great pee review I've done lots and lots of edits on Tantra, deleted whole sections and the photo you didn't like (not the scary Tiger woman, must keep the scary Tiger woman). Kept many of the wikipedia links, for educational purposes. Lots of things now in references. If you have a few minutes please have a glace at it, I'd like to have your comments and see if there are any quick fixes to do. Thanks again! Aleister 1:59 15 6 MMX
I'd be happy to look it over for you. --—John Lydon 11:54, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Wow, thanks. For the comments and for the nom. I have to run like the wind now, but will write a comment on it a little later crediting the original oh-so-serious author by name, and of course some bright-eyed character who did an excellent pee review and is undoubtedly practicing what he learned from the article (to the delight of young ladies everywhere). Aleister 12:32 15 6 MMX
Thanks heaps[edit | edit source]
You just reviewed my article (Only for a True Uncyclopedia Fan) and it was just the kind of response I was hoping for. I'm about to start editing now. Thanks heaps again, that was awesome. --Some Idiot 22:41, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
I think I've finished the article, although I have another idea I might add. Check it out here. Tell me what you think, and if it's so 'Random' now. An if there's anything I can add, of course. --Some Idiot 23:50, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the review[edit | edit source]
See above. I thought long and hard about your suggestion to change the pops out of the vagina bit. I've decided to keep it in as a satire of the kind of crude reductionist statements that some pro-choice people make. Cheers though. -- defenestratable Ape (wamble) (Riot Porn) 23:16, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
I think it will work either way. Good article all around. --—John Lydon 00:31, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
I've been wanting to[edit | edit source]
...leave a message on your page for awhile now 'cause I think you're funny, but I haven't thought of a reason yet. ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!* ~ ~ 23 Jun 2010 ~ 00:42 (UTC)
Tantra[edit | edit source]
Is featured right now. Thank you for all of your great help on it--your review, nom, suggestions, wouldn't have happened without you. Aleister 00:44 23 6 MMX
As much as I like to take credit for stuff I didn't do, Tantra was featured because it was a very well done article. Paying each person 5 bucks to vote for it didn't hurt anything either. --—John Lydon 12:42, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
thank you for the pee review[edit | edit source]
I thought you did a great job doing the pee review for my article (What you don't know about Mario & Luigi) so thanks a bunch (it helped a lot). To see the improved article just click here.

About the link thing (on my article) i just forgot to put them in there Thanks

Conservation Week Approaches
Fancy watering Uncyclopedia's forestry? Want to be a good conservationist? Fancy taking up the rewriting sword of justice, and righteously smiting the dragon of shit writing? Actually, the hell with that, do you want to take a bunch of bad articles, and make them suck less? Then you, my friend, are in luck! Conservation Week 2010 starts on July 5th, and actively encourages users to scour the wiki (perhaps through judicious use of Special:Random, or possibly through exploration of Category:Rewrite or Category:Ideas or even Special:Lonelypages), find lame articles that they consider are taking up the very space which could be occupied by something less sucky, and then using their skill and judgement to turn those articles into shining examples of comedic writing. As this is a competition dedicated to simultaneously reducing the number of useless articles on the wiki and increasing the number of good ones, some naysayers believe it to be completely pointless - Uncyclopedia is the worst, they say, and no amount of well-intentioned competitions can change that. But were it to exist, the Cabal would probably beg to differ. They may call it something like "a genuinely good thing", and "a ray of hope, signalling that occasionally, even the most worthless dreck may be redeemed". So if you think what your userpage is missing is a template called the "Greasy Mechanic Award", then prepare to rewrite like you've never re-written before. Just don't forget to make your new version better than the original. Something summarizing the events of the last month or so It has been said by one of our esteemed administrators here at UnSignpost that if it wasn't reported in the UnSignpost, then it didn't happen. As there has been no UnSignpost produced for the last few days, due to one of the editors having a real life, and another one being lazy, there are several things that didn't happen. Yes, the loss of the UnSignpost for so long sent a shiver down the spines of many an Uncyclopedian. So much so that one member of the community decided that it was timely to look at a new way to produce the UnSignpost. One such idea was to release a monthly periodical in the place of USP. Although there has been several attempts by this reporter to obtain a quote from said insurrectional community member, to date no response has been heard. As part of the ongoing struggle to maintain our independent stance from Wikia, several members decided that it would be a wise idea to create a way to cash in on the popularity of the site. As such the UnShoppe has been created, where you may purchase any one of a number of Uncyclopedia-related pieces of merchandise. So far all purchases have been made by the individuals who created the store. However, if you are looking for the place to buy a shirt that shows that your nipples have been featured, that a wizard did something, whatever it was, and that you have an in-depth knowledge of who Dan Kwon is. There was a competition. Congratulations go to mrthejazz, who got the pun. Imperial Colonisation has taken a brief hiatus after the new head of IC became the old head of IC. He was an Australian, and his example has inspired the entire nation so much that the new head of Parliament for the country is now the old head of parliament. Congratulations go out to the new new head of IC. A strange bandwagon has been created by a drunken Bonner, who has challenged all and sundry to ask him anything at all. As such there are various forums dedicated to asking regular Uncyclopedian members things. These previously were known as user talk pages, but who can stand in the way of progress? And that's all that didn't happen. Although now it's listed in UnSignpost that means it actually did happen. Which suggests that by editing UnSignpost I have the power to change the past. If I could change anything about the past, what would it be? I had sex with a real person![1]

16:34, 24 June 2010Your PLS entry[edit | edit source]
Squidbillies was deleted, so there's nothing that's keeping you from moving your rewrite into mainspace. It's a really good article, by the way. 18:29, 25 June 2010
- I can't move it yet because it's still locked. I left a message for Olipro but I have yet to hear back. I've considered just copying the source into the main space but that seems to anger the grues when you do that sort of stuff and I don't want to get eaten. I plan on moving it as soon as I can though. --—John Lydon 09:12, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
- I asked Chiefjustice and he unlocked it for you. Cheers! 11:35, 30 June 2010
How about a hand[edit | edit source]
Hi John. Post Apocalypse is up for VFH and both I and Aliester worked hard on it after a good sensible Pee review. It's now 8-0. Just a couple more FOR votes and its home. If you think it a worthy article - it has come a long way since its Nom by Alister. If you like you can vote HERE. Here's hoping! Cheers!--Funnybony 02:21, Jun 29
- My contribution was minor, just cut a few words here and there. This is Funnybony's very good article. I see he's worked on it today, so I can't speak for any of the new stuff, but I know he's given me a tee shirt to wear to my Apocalypse cult meetings. Aleister 2:24 29 6 MMX
Do you feel like. . .[edit | edit source]
...doing the chicken dance? Hi. If you feel ambitious, could you pee review the Frat's latest gruel, Chicken? (and why aren't you a member of the frat? Come on, join us, join us. But maybe you already are and I just am too drunk to wander the halls to meet the new members) It's been sitting in the pee que for months now, or at least a couple of weeks or days, and we've already been working on another one all month. Thanks either way. Cluck cluck. Al 14:24 29 6 MMX
- Yes, thank you very much. No hurry at all, don't feel rushed before you do it. The frat has had it on pee for a long time, we can "hold it in" for awhile longer. Chickens will be cluckin' with pleasure tonight. And mucho thank you on Well-Oiled Birds, it's to be featured in a couple of hours, and I hope it's read by many people out "there" in the innernests world. Thanks, Al 21:43 29 6 MMX
Read it before seeing your note. Great job! The page is a PETA pamphlet, and you're right, it does need to knock out some of the encylopedic things which slow it up a bit. As for the name, what better use of the name Chicken than to focus on the current injustice of caging 50 Billion of these birds a year. Let them free! It would be like writing about South Africa 20 years ago without mentioning apartheid, about baseball without mentioning steroids, or many other examples. As you say, if we just make clear it's an action pamphlet, although keeping the name (the pamphlet was the direction the frat agreed on, and hey, why aren't you in our frat! Are you a hippie, or a commie or something! Join us join us) should fix a lot. I'll get back to it later, thanks again on behalf of the frat, who will come for you tonight and put a hood over your head and bring you to our clubhouse. Aleister 14:19 30 6 MMX

Things getting boring on the wiki? Time to write at speed!
We're still waiting for that, but until it arrives, Skull's hour-long writing contest will do nicely. Shamelessly pinching Cajek's idea of time-limited writing competitions (which brought us such classics as HowTo:Sexually Stimulate an Ant, lest we forget), but putting his own distinct spin on it, Uncyc's own mad Doctor challenged Uncyclopedians to write an article in a single hour that would survive VFD. Given Uncyclopedia's well-known exacting quality standards, this promised to be a tough task, but a surprising number of people were up for it. And so it was that a frenzy erupted across the wiki, and baffled Europeans and other users not around at the time awoke the next day to a slew of brand new articles, not all of which ended up being deleted. They liked the idea so much, they held their own a couple of days later. When asked to comment on his brainchild, the commotion and excitement it had caused, and the size of his penis, Dr. Skullthumper exclusively told us "Sure. I'll get on that. I swear". Things getting boring on the wiki? Time to start pointless drama! Giant evil multinational wiki-hosting conglomerate Wikia won a major victory last month, when a rebellion by a small but dedicated band of anti-capitalist radicals was brutally put down by a bunch of fascistic Wikia-collaborators. Or at least, that's what happened in the heads of Carlb, Roye7777777 and CartoonistHenning after they nailed their anti-Wikia manifesto to the metaphorical door of Uncyclopedia's metaphorical Wittenberg Cathedral. The 1,000-word anti-Wikia tract, despite the shocking and previously unknown revelation that Wikia was not in fact the wiki-hosting charity that it claimed to be, but rather a commercial company, failed to ignite a spontaneous revolt against Wikia among the Uncyclopedia community. A heated and sexually-charge discussion ensued, with strong arguments offered by both sides. However, it seems that some people were unable to grasp the enormity of the revelation that Wikia's motives were less than altruistic. Eventually, the thread descended into an all-out flamewar and a waaaaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance was called to treat the injured. "We may have lost this round," Carlb told UnSignpost reporters "but it is only a temporary setback. One day, the tyranny of Wikia will be no more. Our revenge will be the laughter of our children." It is rumoured that Carlb, Roye7777777 and CartoonistHenning will employ Black Bloc tactics at the next Wikia conference in an attempt to escalate the struggle against Wikia oppression. |

Hey, John, as you know your song is a hit (FA). Maybe some A&R guy will hear it and say, "Yo!" It was quite good musically. I was in an ultra-cool BAND and we're still getting honors heaped on. You can hear me sing here. Rock on!--Funnybony 18:23, Jul 1
Thanks for the Racecar Bed Racing Review![edit | edit source]
Since it was my friend's original article years ago, I'm trying to figure out how to fix up the article and still stay true to the tone and have it be "him". The random tangents are definitely "him." Most of them I had found a way to deal with by putting them as footnotes, that way they can still be in the article without distracting the reader, because they are pretty funny. With the particular one you mentioned, I struggled with that too, because it was a compound sentence, with one vital bit mixed in with the president bit. I didn't want to kill the joke altogether, so I didn't know what to do there. Anyhoo, thanks again for all the info! It was really great advice. User:Mrthejazz/sig 02:02, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Conservation week: how's it going, and what is it anyway?
Conservation week has been running since autumn 2007, starting life in Jocke Pirat's userspace, and spending a confused few hours being called the rewrite-a-thon in an early attempt to get around the whole week-fortnight thing. The first iteration was a resounding success, and about 38 people signed up to rewrite over 50 articles (with Zombiebaron hilariously missing the point and going on a deletion spree instead), making the current iteration look like it has some work to do. However, there was no quality control at the outset - if an article was rewritten in any way, that was deemed good enough. Some of those early articles may well have been made worse, we just don't know (or can't be bothered to check). Quality control arrived later on, when erstwhile gentleman editor of this very organ Gerrycheevers stepped up to run the first 2009 CW, and ran the rule over all the rewrites personally, so that the attendant award was only bestowed on those doing quality rewrites. That task this year falls to Dexter111344, who has promised to be "harsh but harsh". Probably. So, with a prize on offer to the person with the most high quality rewrites, and plenty of time left in which to do said rewrites, the only question left is: "why haven't you entered yet"? We asked this question of one completely random user, and he exclusively told us "because I'm busy writing this week's issue of the UnSignpost, duh!" Image Request: A Retrospective
Established in March 2005 by a user called Machinecurse, this page has been the domain of most of the legends of Uncyc image manipulation at one time or another - as one 'chopper has left, another has arisen to take their place, in some kind of Potatochop Royal Succession stylee. Or something. Whatever, the likes of Paulgb, Zombiebaron, Seeker, Sonje and, more recently, KneeChee27 and MeepStarLives have slaved over hot image editing software to fulfil the esoteric image requirements of the Uncyclopedia populace. The response time has always varied on the page, as it largely depends on how active the 'choppers are at the time, how achievable the requests actually are, and how polite the request is. But for those with a little patience, it is undoubtedly a useful resource in the ongoing quest for that perfect image of Mario and Master Chief riding Pikachu down the Death Star Trench run. Or something. Have a look at the gallery to see some of the more recent work. |

The 40+ club expands
We asked them all for quotes, and Mhaille exclusively told us: ""Go eat more shit, fuckers"...obviously I am excited to have reached the BIG 4-0, and am delighted that enough of my peers deem the quality of my work good enough to have reached that figure, although I have to say I'm a little pissed that at least 10 other of my articles are feature-worthy and are constant overlooked (lengthy bans will ensue, I'm sure), I am equally as proud of my featured images, as well as many of my other contributions that I hope that my peers feel have augmented the work of others. That I am still here after five long years, and still contributing says something about Uncyclopedia itself. What that is, I wouldn't like to speculate. But sometimes you have to in order to accumulate. Apparently." Which is such a long quote we're going to need at least one blatant filler box in the right-hand panel. Bastard. Meanwhile, Modus exclusively told us "It's not that myself and Mhaille have written so very many great and fantastic pages that have, and will continue to, entertain the people for years to come. It's just that Mhaille did. "I" am one of his many sockpuppets. He writes as "Modusoperandi" when he needs a page without a "foreign" accent. Look around. There are a bunch more Mhaille sockpuppets here, too. Hyperbole, for one. Mhaille is like a wet Mogwai." Which is more concise, and therefore OK. Finally, Hype exclusively commented: "I'd like to say thank you to Uncyclopedia for voting to feature my many excellent, high-quality articles, including the drunken insistence that you accept a diseased poodle, the song about having sex with sporting goods, and the blatantly racist tirade about having to wait too long for a Pee Review. Writing 39.5 features has been literally the most important accomplishment I will ever have in my life. I look forward to continuing to service each and every one of you in the future." Which was nice of him. So, the burning question now has to be: who will be first to 50? Modus obviously has the lead, but Mhaille is writing in greater volume than he has for some time, and if Hype keeps up the pace, he's probably a good bet. But they're not the only candidates - Sog is coming up the rails rapidly, and could reach the 40 mark even quicker than Hype - could he overtake the lot of them? The only thing certain is that with these guys around, Uncyc should be assured of some half-decent articles amongst the dross. World Cup over - Romartus struggling for UnNews inspiration
The scourge of Junior Uncyclopedia has discovered his muse in the planet's biggest sporting event, and has been cranking out UnNews articles on the subject at an alarming rate. Now, without Jabulani balls, biting tackles and Messi long shots to inspire him, what is there to inspire him to maintain such prolific standards? Suspicions abound that the Tour De France is passing him by, he seems far too English to care about the various draft and transfer shenanigans in the NFL and NBA and the like, and as the only story to emerge from golf's Open Championship so far is Tiger Woods changing his putter (wow, someone hold me back), that seems unlikely to unleash his inner news-hound. With a worrying lack of global sporting tournaments on the horizon, will we have to wait another 4 years for the next Romartus article splurge? Stay tuned to UnNews to find out! |

The Periodical That Is Too Sexy For Its Shirt, Among Other Things
Jul 22nd, 2010 • Issue 90 • Suddenly, Signpost!
UnNews hits warp factor Whore
That bastard child of Uncyclopedia and WikiNews, UnNews, is in full-on whoring mode. Tired of being relegated to the bilge hold of Uncyc, staff have collectively and to a man, woman or it, decided to resort to the time-honored tradition of whoring themselves for attention. 2010 is shaping up to be a record year for lots of stuff, which I am too lazy to actually reference. We've had lots of cool coding happenings, resulting in a facelift to the Main Page, and a really cool navigation bar giving access to a plethora (well, 7 sections in fact) of sections including Sports, Comics, Editorials, and special coverage of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Contributors to UnNews of note are Funnybony, SPIKE, Romartus, Modusoperandi, Mordillo, Multiliteralist, PuppyOnTheRadio, Happytimes, Matt lobster and MrN9000 (when the bugger's here). Apologies to anybody I've missed. The Newsroom, home to nefarious plots and odd ideas, has once again become an active core of resistance against Uncyc's unofficial policy of ignoring us. Always leading edge, UnNews is acquiring a stable of notable personalities for a new series of Uncolumns called "Reductio ad Hitlerum", a guest column that invites persons of note to do an article for us, usually under threat of blackmail. Discussion here, first RaH column here by guest Sarah Palin. Techno gets Mhaille'd
The award is, unusually on vote-happy Uncyclopedia, not decided on by voting, but is bestowed at the sole discretion of feature-monster, bureaucrat, whoring legend and token Liverpool fan Mhaille, according to his own criteria. Looking down the list of previous winners - Shandon, ENeGMA, Tompkins, Zombiebaron, Prettiestpretty, Savethemooses and the rest, it's pretty clear that the good Rabbi is a) in good company, and b) not going to be here much longer. |

Graduation day[edit | edit source]
Ah, that time has come at last, you have garnered attention, admiration and er... attention from the uncyclopedian community and seem to be able to go several days without needing my help, thus I have chosen to graduate you from Adopt-A-Noob and set you off into the cold, cruel world alone.
Very well done for all the work you have put into your articles, UnTunes and reviews; I hope we will see more of them in future. If you have any further questions that need answering in future then don't hesitate to ask, I shall be around. Otherwise well done (remember to change the AAN template on your user page for this one), now get out of my cellar and take that blasted ukulele with you! --ChiefjusticePSX 14:34, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
This user has graduated from the adoption program! Kudos! from ChiefjusticeDS. |
- Thanks for all your help along the way. You can keep the ukulele to remember me by. --—John Lydon 14:40, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

Contest today, August 2nd (U.S. time) or 3rd (civilized world time)[edit | edit source]
Happymonkey called for a writing contest which will start at 2:00 UTC (10 p.m. eastern time in the United States and other weird countries). Contestents will give each other an exact name of an article at app. 9:59 eastern time, and then we will write until 11:15 (3:15 UTC). We need at least one judge who will look at all the articles, say nay, or yay, or something, and tell us whatever they want to. Please sign up on Happymonkeys talk page, as participant or judge(s), and then we can pair people up around 9:30 eastern and let them know who they will give their page title to.

VFD minimum time limit introduced
Further to that, the minimum score required for deletion is in the process of being clarified, so that either a score of at least +5 in favour of deletion will be required before the trigger-happy admins fire up their huffing devices, or 5 keep votes will automatically exempt an article from deletion. One of those. Probably. The number 5 seems certain to be involved, whatever the outcome. Hopefully, this will ensure that BUTT POOP is never deleted again. At least, such is our understanding. Sorry about that. We will now follow this with an article with no relation to news whatsoever, to try and make it up to you. Uncyc Fantasy Football draft off to racing start
So far, the results have surpassed the expectations of all except noted optimist Bradaphraser. Three days in, and seven of the record fourteen competitors have picked a single player each, making this the slowest process since BP started trying to cap that goddamn oil leak. This year's competition promises to be more open than the last, including as it does Joe9320, who admits to knowing nothing about the sport, preferring AFL, and noted British namby-pamby "soccer" fan UU, who has somehow agreed to become an Indianapolis Colts fan for the duration of the season. Hence his adding a picture of what he is assured is the awesome Peyton Manning into this very article. With the likes of the here-one-week-gone-for-a-month Gerrycheevers also involved in the process, it could well end up taking long enough to be ready by the start of the 2011-12 season. |

Monster Party[edit | edit source]
Jeez, John. That article is perfect. Any other picture would mess it up. My I have the honor to Nom it? That article is one of the best I ever saw.. too good to fix. But, I am able to offer you the chance to save my co-creation, Uncyclopedia:VFH/UnBooks:Keith Richards, which just needs one tiny little vote to survive. That is, if you think memory loss is funny when its intentional. Pleeeeese. Now, may I Nom your Monster Party? Cheers!--Funnybony 16:40, Aug 9
UnBooks:Jeff Beck Illustrated[edit | edit source]
Here's an old cat (66) who still rocks big time, who has no memory loss, and who just happens to be god. Could you do me a favor? Can you put a light-orange (peach) color back ground to this entire article, leaving the article as it is, but putting a peach colored back ground (like you did with green on Monster Party). That would be much appreciated. BTW: Monster Party made me laugh out loud. A master piece. Please keep me up to date on your work, cause I was not aware of Monster Party, and I don't have time to stalk people. You're getting better with each article. Don't forget to vote for Monster on VFH. Cheers!--Funnybony 17:57, Aug 9
- Good start, thanks. Can the color be tan, and all the text be black? And the center box be wider so it fits the You Tube at the bottom? The narrow box down the middle is not even necessary as it also crunches the text, which needs to be wide. What would be ideal is to have the entire back ground in 'light-tan' color with wide and black text (no box). I would fix it up except for one slight problem, I'm an idiot at coding (and some other things too, such as rocket-surgery, hehe!). Your help is really appreciated. And hope I'm not asking too much. Cheers!--Funnybony 18:45, Aug 9

Um...[edit | edit source]
Yeah, I moved your article to the correct title "User:John Lydon/Back To The Future", but you were editing the wrong title "User:John Lydon\Back To The Future" at the same time. The latter title is wrong because it doesn't identify your page as being in your userspace but instead treats it as a separate user account. So, um, could you add your content from the \ page to the / page and request the deletion of the \ page at QVFD. Sorry for the mix up. 01:20, 12 August 2010
Hey, Bruv[edit | edit source]
Oh, how I wish I could; but I'm just a child, and lack the necessary skills...(sniff) x--Ohnogodnotagain 18:44, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
- p.s. I just submitted my article to Black Flamingo for a Pee Review. Would you please say a prayer for me. Maybe two. Or cast some runes of something? Invoke a deity? Thank you x --Ohnogodnotagain 18:47, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
- You are....wonderful. How lovely; thank you, John. It would be so nice to have a sparkly user page - and truly I appreciate your lending your time and skills to do it. Lavender is my favourite, I like pink, and blue, too, but the pale, pastelly shades, you know? But really, anything that you think would be nice I'd be more than happy with, whatever you think. Please don't go to too much trouble; and - thank you, John... so much. x--Ohnogodnotagain 21:06, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
Beautiful[edit | edit source]
Oh, John, it's beautiful! How do you DO that? You're so clever! I love the colours and everything - especially the fluffy bunny article (but the Monster Party, although it's very good, frightens me a bit, so you'll have to take that away and put that back in the toy box). I guess I always knew you'd be climbing out of the cot first and setting off on adventures of stunning creativity and general all-round clever-pants-ness; and I'm very, very proud of my big bruvver. Thank you, it's wonderful, if I could have invented it, I would have done it exactly like that x--Ohnogodnotagain 16:44, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
- p.s...and those little coloured boxes at the top - how do you DO that?? Anyway, here's a lovely thank you cake from me to you. Enjoy! x--Ohnogodnotagain 17:14, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you again, I appreciate your help. By the way, you know I told you my article was being reveiwed? Well, what happens? If it's rubbish, and it get huffed (that's already happened to me once, although that was a really, really rubbish article, I think this one's much better) can you ask for it back to work on it some more? How does the points system work? What's a good score? What if nobody thinks its funny? --Ohnogodnotagain 07:21, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
- John, I just got a fantastic review from Black Flamingo. It's stunning, he must have spent an age on it. It's so detailed and so relevant, I can't believe the effort he's put into it. Thanks for your reply, it is very helpful indeed and settled my mind. It became clear on reading the review what you meant about it not being a competition; the points are there to show which areas you're weak/strong in. The review comments all made sense, and when he said it, I could see it, you know? Do you know what I mean when I say that you become sort of blind after a while, looking at your work for so long? It gets difficult to be objective. What I lack mainly is experience, of course, but to be given such an in-depth appraisal with such valuable advice lends you a handle on that very experience. I'm so excited, I feel I know what it should look like now, know what I need to do. I have direction. They're bloody good, aren't they?--88.104.139.0 18:33, August 14, 2010 (UTC) OOps!--Ohnogodnotagain 18:48, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
Adoption[edit | edit source]
Hey man, I don't exactly know where to put this, so I tried the most likely spot. I've seen you around a bit. You're the guy who's code I copied who helped me figure out my sig, actually. Lot's of help there, so thanks! Yeah, we go way back, you just don't know it.
And just now, I was browsing through the adoption page, and I saw you, and I was like, "Hey, I know that guy! I've seen him around a bit!" Seriously, it was wonderful. It was like an incredibly pathetic, one-sided reunion.
Anyway, my point with all this is... You're a familiar face, and I'm looking for someone to adopt me. Free to a good home. I'm completely potty-trained too, stopped wetting my bed months ago. Care to take me on? :) -- Conquest Yo! Mofo! 15:55, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
Stylistic Preferences?[edit | edit source]
I'm working on UnBooks:A Bad Day at the Office, but I've gotten caught up in a wave of self-doubt about the style of humor I'm writing. Basically, I'm worried it might be... too understated, I guess is the best word. Should I be more obnoxious? I was just wondering if you would mind reading it over and telling me if the style of humor is what the average Uncyclopedian is looking for when they read an Unbook. Y'know, before I invest too much of my heart and soul in the project. That'd be lovely if you could. You're awesome, mate. -- Conquest Yo! Mofo! 13:47, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

UnReviews - get involved!
So how can YOU help? Well, we would have thought that was obvious, to be honest, but as we're dealing with Uncyclopedians here, we'll make it a little clearer: write an UnReview! You could go down the road of Modus's magnum opus UnMovie Review: The Dark Knight, and make a movie review, you could get all cultured on our asses, and go Shakespearian, or you could review something else entirely. The choice is, quite literally, yours! Something helpful this way comes
TKF has already started the ball rolling with a challenging audio request which is likely to be an early acid test for the project. If you have a Casio keyboard and some decent audio skills, get across there and get this thing working! So, how can you get involved? Well, if you are skilled at adding awesome to pages in some way, watchlist the page, check it regularly, and stop hogging your wiki-fu to yourself! If you are in need of added awesomeness on your page, pop in a request and see what happens. If nothing else, it'll make Meep feel good about himself, and that's what it's all about, when you get right down to it. Right? |

A Notice of Continued Existence... and A Quick Update.[edit | edit source]
So, my master, I just wanted to let you know that yes, I'm still alive. I have been caught up in real-world distractions the past few days, but I've finally had time to sit down at my computer and do some wholesome, nutritious editing.
And so I present you with a progress report. I read that UnBook you showed me. It's funny. I thought about what you said, and I'm reorganizing my story. It now involves - gasp - aliens, said with all the dramatic creepy music that the subject requires. Basically, your standard alien invaders land on the Earth's surface, involving your standard crash-landing of your standard alien spaceship. The aliens then begin your standard world takeover. Meanwhile, our hero, Dave, is just trying to have a normal day at the office. However, due to the chaos swirling around his building and the aliens running around unchecked, he has a bit of trouble with this.
The story ends with your standard planetary explosion. That's all I will say. However, you can read the new and improved intro here. Hopefully you will like it better than the last. Approving smiles and pats on the head are most appreciated. That's all. -- Conquest Yo! Mofo! 00:13, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the piss; I've got a drug test tomorrow.[edit | edit source]
Really good review (the anal probing one). Yeah, I'll definitely take those suggestions for the humor, and thank you for all the praise. As for the character, I was sort of going for a kind of... like, an arrogance. I stuck up asshole who thinks he's better than everyone else. Sort of educated, but in a pathetic way. I'm not sure how good that came across, so any tips as to how or where I could straighten this up would be appreciated. As for the images, like I said, it was done for the 1-hour contest. The images were the last thing I did, and I found them all in about 5 minutes total (I was rushing to meet the deadline). Thanks again. Puttano 20:20,27August,2010

I don't want you to write it for me, just point me in the right direction. Some ideas for other sections, possibly?

The pee is weak - must be time for Pee Week!
Yes, it would appear to be nearly time for the inaugural Uncyclopedia Pee Week! It starts on Monday 13th September. So, the questions must be asked:
If the answer to at least one of those questions is "yes", you could be on your way to winning this soon-to-be prestigious competition! Just sign up here, and prepare to review as you've never reviewed before! The best of the 5.5 years super-extravaganza begins!
That's right, on the fifth of every month, a new vote will start to determine the best somethingorother of the 5.5 years that Uncyc has been in existence. This month's vote is already open, and it's for the writer of the 5.5 years. So get over there, vote, and make your voice heard! Again. Asked for his feelings on seeing his brainchild getting off the ground like this, TKF exclusively told us: "My grand-uncle used to tell me "He who goes forth with a fifth on the Fourth, may not come forth on the fifth!" and I feel that's somehow relevant to this situation." Anyone pointing out that by the time this finishes, Uncyclopedia will be around 6 years old will be asked not to point it out again. UnNews main page
Someone suggested to completely revamp the UnNews main page and in an epic move of Uncyclopedia originality, decided to hold a vote on it. Some people farted. |

Thanks...[edit | edit source]
For the review on Marshmallows. You pointed out just the right things that were wrong, which I hadn't really noticed and for that I am grateful. I must confess; the external image of the reverse toasting was something I liked on it's own, but really there's no place for it here and I was just trying to find a way to squeeze it in. A Freddo is a frog-shaped chocolate bar which is now rare, even in the UK, so to save explaining this I'll remove the reference. However, I can't see how I can make the sex paragraph any less patronising without removing entire ideas.

WTF[edit | edit source]
Just saw the above, what's that pimping, Funnybony. Cut it out. Hi John. I'm not maintaining the birthday/dates page, just adding on users I run across when categorizing pics. I may see a name I don't recognize, follow it to the user page and then see if the person has lots of edits for a span of time, and then add them to the list. It's interesting to me to list and research many of the "early" uncy people, from '005 and '006. The idea of years and days, etc., is interesting but may be inaccurate, as many of these users left long ago and never came back. So a 2005 guy who was very active for seven months and never again, for example, could be described as a seven-month user. Some of these guys have very interesting user pages, and lots of them seem to have been obsessed with grues. Thanks for the offer though. And since I'm here, thanks very much for your vote on uncy of the month. Monkey deserves it, but my ego is hoping for a tie. And somewhere along the line you will def. get Writer of the Month, so clear a space on your cyber-shelf for that (I personally am looking at Funnybony, Maniac1075, Skinfan if he comes back, and SPIKE for that award too. I really enjoy Maniac's weirdness). Long note, so I'll be on my way, mosey down the road a bit. Aleister 19:31 28 9
- Hello, and I'd like to formally after the fact thank you for your vote on uncy of the month. Your trust is obviously misplaced, and perception may be an issue to discuss with your therapist, but hey, since you're living in enough of a dream world to vote for me, thanks! Very appreciated. (and I'm glad Monkey and I tied) Aleister 17:46 1 10
Hall of Shame[edit | edit source]
Hi John. You have 3 full features to your credit? If so then you should be in the Hall of Shame. Did you collaborate on any of those three? If not, then you have a "hat trick" = 3 FAs. And that means you go in the Hall. What else is new on your side? Anything ready? Cheers!--Funnybony 15:18, Oct 4
- OK, I added you to Uncyclopedia:Hall of Shame. But please go and make your listing alphabetically in order in the 3 FA list. You'll be amazed at the place. Now you're IN, dude! Hey, what are you working on that's ready or needs a collab? Cheers!--Funnybony 18:55, Oct 6
- You are in the Hall, man. People will clamor for collabs, send you money, provide beau-ti-ful and exotic women for your pleasure. The Hall, you are swimming amongst the Gods and Goddesses! And seriously, I like it when new members come in, that's nice, and try to see if someone needs one more (Iwillkillyou needs one) and try to help out their pages. As for alphabetizing, I tend to put my name at the end of the number, figuring those others had gotten there before me and should still have that position in the reptilian-brain sense of hierachy. But that's me. Congrats on your joining the club! And you piece looks fine and is defin. worth keeping and polishing. But I'm very bad at critizing other pieces, I can see the good in most of them and at least perceive a train of thought and storyline. That's why I don't often vote delete at VFD, esp. for long articles where the person put energy and creativity into it. And yes, your piece has potential, although I'm not a big gamer and don't know if it's a real game or you're playing with the Mapquest name and idea. Density here, Aleister 17:33 19 10
- OK, I added you to Uncyclopedia:Hall of Shame. But please go and make your listing alphabetically in order in the 3 FA list. You'll be amazed at the place. Now you're IN, dude! Hey, what are you working on that's ready or needs a collab? Cheers!--Funnybony 18:55, Oct 6
Review[edit | edit source]
I just happened to log in a few minutes after you posted your very good review of Calif.Mar.Inititive. Thank you--extreme thanks--you are so good at these and I appreciate all your kind words and criticisms equally. Will follow-up on your ideas and even incorporate some of your lines if you don't mind? I've always had a problem with the Cheech and Chong stererotype of potheads, they represent the stupidist of people when they're on grass (when a moron gets high you're going to get a high moron)(Hey, maybe that line is useable!). And now the public has that image. The image of Carl Sagan or Bob Wilson (who would write his books first straight, then rewrite high, then edit straight again, then high again, and finally straight) or anyone with an IQ over 90 on grass wouldn't fit the sterotype, so it's out there as is. Will try to include more of that without totally reinforcing the image. Speakin' of images, thanks for your comment on the pop-ups. I've used a couple apiece (don't want to overdo those) on "Disguise" and on the page I'll put up on VFH later today for Halloween, "Cemetery of the Absurd". Well, I'll work on California using your suggestions (will have to clarify the bottom image more, it was supposed to be used as a voter's card here, for people to take into the voting booth with them), and thought of nomming it when the seven days were up but, as always, a review once again greatly helped. That's where the discussion about going straight to VFH without a review falls short, if one is aviable from someone like you and a few other of the really good reviewers here, then that's well worth any wait. I've had quite a few pages up on VFH lately, the latest "Dreaming" which I'm really glad to see is passing because I loaded it up with good data, so after the two timely ones are considered I'll take a VFH break for 2 or 3 weeks. This gets really long, so thank you again, mucho, for your fine review and useful ideas. Aleister 16:43 22 10
Thanks[edit | edit source]
for the Bronco McStabber review. I think I got a bit carried away with putting in every double entendre I could remember. I'll get round to changing things along the lines you suggested, just maybe not soon - I'll give it a break for a month or so. --Sog1970 22:17, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
California[edit | edit source]
I've been editing, and pruning, and expanding. Getting there, but not there yet. I've incorporated some of your language, you genius you. Keepin' you updated. Aleister thanking you again 23:10 25 10
- Still later. I think it's in pretty good shape now. Do I have your blessing, kind reviewer? (and thanks yet again!) Aleister 11:50 26 10
- Later still. Have VFHnommed the page, due to topicality (election is next Tuesday). And smoke 'em if you've got 'em. Aleister 11:51 28 10
Sincere thanks[edit | edit source]
Still more thanks[edit | edit source]
Yo!!! California Marijuana Initiative is sitting on the main page, thanks to your great review, several funny lines you suggested, and your kick in the pants to make it better. Thank-a-you-a-very-much! The issue lost, which is good, because now everyone will stop smoking that stuff and we will be a healthier and saner world. Marijuana is a thing of the past, thank God and His loyal servants on Earth. Thanks again! Aleister 12:37 4 11
UnSignpost - The UnSignpost Rides Again![edit | edit source]
The Self-Proclaimed Greatest Periodical Of All Time!
Nov 11th, 2010 • Issue 94 • The Newspaper that shaves you closer!
The UnSignpost Rides Again!
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, the Rebels attained victory over the Imperial Empire and the last UnSignpost flopped onto talk pages. The drought came as Under user announced that he had a life to be getting on with, and at that point the UnSignpost simply stopped writing itself. Some people have suggested that these two events may be linked somehow, but until we see proof, we have resolved to live in ignorance. However as we hurtle towards the end of the year it would seem the magic has returned and the newspaper that confusingly contains neither news or paper will once again be arriving on talk pages Newer recipients of the UnSignpost are urged to suggest ideas for stories in the press room; this helps as it means we don't need to pay attention to anything you people do every day. For now, please welcome the UnSignpost back into your homes and hearts... please? Speak up!
Competition founder MadMax was unavailable for comment at the time of going to press, so we have made something up instead: "The competition was a great success and I would like to thank everyone who took part; especially ChiefjusticeDS who is absolutely fantastic and whom I owe many drinks", he might have said. The Article Whisperer is expected to take place again next year, and MadMax might have said "Take part or die", but probably not. The Aristocrat's Few competitions stir the loins more than The Aristocrat's Turkey Day Ball, self described as Uncyclopedia's festival of frivolity and bad taste. The competition has three categories:
If you aren't a writer (we are led to believe some people are not), then 3 Judges are needed for each of the above categories (see here). Seriously, this will be so much fun you will wish we did it twice a year... maybe. The competition opens on November 19th, so put on a stout pair of writing trousers and get going! |

The Grue Army[edit | edit source]
Hey John Lydon, Meganew and I were wondering, if you would like to join the grue army. We think some work could really drive you up the ranks (maybe even to admin-ship). If so just write back here or on my talk page and Meganew or I will add you. You can click all the links at the top of that page to read all about us. Or go here. Lastly, I don't know if you're one for userboxes but we do have this really cool one you get if you join:
This user has joined The Grue Army
to help Uncyclopedia kill vandals, and help users. Please join today! |

The Newspaper That Won't Tell Everyone That You Wet the Bed! Oops...

Wanna cyb3r?
Hailed by some as the final solution to the Uncyclopedia problem and others as a wretched hive of scum and villainy, the Uncyclopedia IRC channel has chugged along for almost the same amount of time Uncyclopedia itself has. We here at the UnSignpost have literally hundreds of stories to sort through every week and we have picked IRC for a reason, and not just because it is easy to spell. We chose it because the Uncyclopedia IRC is a community and often contains users who are never on the site (because they are lazy and idle), equally many users who frequent the site do not enter IRC (because they are idle and lazy), and those who do often prefer to do so in disguise. This is a disgrace, don't ask why, it just is. Our intrepid reporters have spent literally minutes on IRC this week in order to bring news of it to you, the uneducated and unwashed masses and to try and encourage you to make use of it. Whatever you want to use it for: reporting vandals, penis jokes, collaboration, penis jokes and incoherent babbling; IRC is there for you. It is also a way to get to know the dull uninteresting personalities behind the exciting usernames, but don't let that put you off. When our intrepid reporter delved into the IRC community and asked the first person breathing in and out for a quote about IRC they told us "..." which should certainly give you food for thought. If you have some time on your hands then why not learn how to windsurf? But if you are too idle and lazy then why not head on over to IRC and see the magic happening for yourself? I would and if I would it must be a good idea. Balls up!
The stage is seated, the judges are set and the competitors are questionable in number, yes The Aristocrat's Turkey Day Ball is almost upon us. The competition opens this Friday and entries will be accepted until December the 3rd which is... a little while after that. Our hard-hitting journalists will be present at the competition and will be speaking to entrants and judges alike over the next few weeks. Just think; if you take part your name could be in italic font in the UnSignpost! Think about how envious your friends and family will be! Remember, it begins on the 19th of November and we want to see blood! We need you!
The UnSignpost is like an office printer, in that it constantly breaks down, sometimes doesn't work for months at a time and occasionally spews out some slightly smudged pages. If you think you have something to bring to the UnSignpost be it your journalistic talent, ideas for stories or even just a warm and reassuring slap in the face, feel free to drop us a line in the press room. Also Meganew wanted us to mention the Grue Army in the UnSignpost, so we have. |

The Newspaper That Won't Judge You!
Nov 25th, 2010 • Issue 96 • Putting the period in periodical!
Jimbo, Whales & The Worst 100
Those of you who regularly sit and stare at recent changes may well have seen a lot of tomfoolery with the site notice this week (that banner at the top which you dismissed two seconds after logging in). The reason for this is that somebody noticed that we are supposed to be a parody of Wikipedia and suggested we come up with something to parody Jimbo Wales' appeal. Zombiebaron duly obliged, then Lyrithya obliged too, then Olipro edited some code and the site notice you see today, or don't see, as the case may be, was created. Well done, them. Honestly, we have nothing bad to say about it. Except that I hate it as I do most things that come about through a process of honest endeavour. For those of you who didn't know, Jimbo does have an account on Uncyclopedia, an account he never uses, in rather the same way that I have a membership to a gym; I need one to be cool and so I have somewhere to hide when the black helicopters inevitably come for me. Jimbo is of course the co-founder of Wikia, which is rather like having helped build the Death Star except with less space and more super-lasers capable of destroying planets. Unfortunately, we haven't written a parody of the appeal yet. Well, we have, it just isn't very good. The team at the UnSignpost read both and after the laughter had died down we had a look at the Uncyclopedia one.... yeah.... but have our assurance, Uncyclopedia is working on improving it, and how could you doubt the people who brought you classics like Fisher Price and AAAAAAAAA!? The other item of news we have this week is that the reflections on this year are woefully lacking. Hurtling as we are towards the new year and the annual Cabal broadcast, you may want to consider adding an entry to the list in order that the administrators can sleep soundly at night. We refuse to believe that nothing of note has happened over the last couple of months because we've been here and can attest that something has happened every day. So get over there and do the editing, we'll be right behind you. Voting heats up
The "of the Month" awards are in something of a state of flux at the moment as voters and nominators become increasingly unwilling to vote (or care) in some cases and more willing in others. "It's a sad indictment of the way we live," lamented Socky when our reporter spoke to him, though he did say some other things once we asked him some questions. This month on the Uncyclopedian of the Month award, Lyrithya has stormed ahead of competition, running up 16 votes at the time of going to press; we would say she was miles ahead of her opposition, but since she nominated both of them and voted for one of them we don't think she deserves it. When asked to comment, Lyrithya had this to say: "I hate you all". Meanwhile over on Writer of the Month, Romartus leads SPIKE by 7 votes. Neither of them were available to provide us with a quote, probably because we forgot to ask, but we took some of the things they said on the award page and through creative journalism summed up their thoughts: "This... is... my... award" is what Romartus said, though he may have said those words in a different order... and as part of different sentences. SPIKE just said "Yay," which was lovely. Things are far more exciting over on Noob of the Month where mega-noob rcmurphy and regular noob Putthatknifedown are neck and neck with 5 votes each. Things are of course far less exciting in the land of the other awards: Author of the Month is a gripping contest as gentile Uncyclopedian and former UnSignpost editor Under user trudges towards the finish line arm in arm with gentile Uncyclopedian and former UnSignpost editor Mhaille (he wrote a couple of lines for us once and they were amazing). Potatochopper of the month is also a rather subdued affair with nobody getting any votes, despite two people being nominated. Finally Reviewer of the Month has no nominations and thus, surprisingly, no votes so far this month. Why is this? We at the UnSignpost asked Uncyclopedia's dictator in-chief Mordillo what he thought; he agreed to consider the question after a stiff drink. We can only assume it was a strong one as we didn't hear back from him for 3 days. When he came back, he declared, "Uncyclopedia - UNITE! GO OUT TO THE STREETS AND DEMAND MORE BLONDES FOR ALL! MORE WELL SHAPED BLONDES FOR ALL! MORE THREESOMES WITH JEWS! and vote for NotM and RotM right? Trust us, we are the cabal, we know best". As Mordillo was being sedated, Socky bravely stepped in to fill his trousers and surprised everyone by saying "My thoughts on awards are that we should have a lot more of them and we should be a lot less serious about them. We could be having fun instead of worrying about drama. Voting will only lead to good results when not subjugated to logic." Socky went on to lay down his plans for ruling Uncyclopedia and restoring Germany to a dominant position in Europe; he left our interview early to annex Czechoslovakia, so There is a point here, does Uncyclopedia need more awards? Or does it just need more contributors? All we know for sure is that you need to start voting NOW! Or tomorrow if you're a bit busy at the moment. Chief learns Latin; talks about lorums
