The wilde Project.

I'd be happy to help out with this as I'd already started rewriting the article. However my changes got reverted after two days. Which might actually be some kind of record as edits to that article only seem to last seconds. I basically decided to write a biography in the form of testamonials from people who knew Oscar Wilde. I started out with quotes then tried to expand them into entire sections. Below is what I've managed to do so far:--Winstanley1 13:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde.

“He is a man I greatly admire.”

~ Oscar Wilde on Oscar Wilde

The life of Oscar Wilde.Described from the memorandum of his friends relatives, enemies, acquaintances, and’ intimate’ acquaintances.

His Birth and Childhood.

“I was born in Dublin, because I wanted to be close to my mother.”

~ Oscar Wilde on Oscar Wilde

Wilde in his famous post-binge drinking slouch, his drink of choice being Passion Pop.

Extract from the Memoirs of Sir William Wilde:

I could tell young Oscar wasn’t like the other babies, he wore a cravat, and smoked. Whereas other children cried because they were hungry, Oscar cried because he thought the hospital was ‘An aesthetic wilderness,’ He said the wallpaper wasn’t quite up to standard, it looked like it had been newly vomited onto the walls by insects, even more disturbingly the food looked identical. Oscar said it was “The product of a disturbed mind.” And that “It would take a diseased psyche to do things like that to walls.” He told me English hospitals were twenty years behind the French, who cured tumours with philosophy, and could butter croissants using only the power of their minds. He said that french doctors had no need of medicine, they simply argued with the diseases, till they killed themselves.

Oscar didn’t get along with the other children ever since they expressed no interest in discussing Plato, or any other Greek homosexuals Oscar cared to mention. ‘What is wrong with these people?’ he cried. ‘I lent one of them the times crossword today, he ate it, and produced a gurgling noise. This behaviour is impossible to tolerate. I shall complain. I find the excuse that they are ‘babies’ quite pathetic. It’s wearing very thin. Someone has stolen my cigars and regurgitated them, who in gods name was it? If things do not improve I shall abandon the society of these so called babies altogether; I find them, decidedly childish, I abhor the company of such ignorant dullards. ”

Extract from the Journal of Jane Francesca, Lady Wilde:

Oscar was very critical of the hospital cuisine today and refused to eat anything. He announced to the whole ward that only ‘uncouth degenerates, and trurps swilling imibceles’ would dare debase themselves by drinking milk, and that in future he would prefer to be given a ‘snifter of port’. It was most imbarecing, in the same dredful catogory of faux pas as passing the port diagonally! Or using a lavatory before before the commanding officer, the shame! I shall have to bribe the witnisses. As most of them are babies I shall have to explain the concept of money and bribes to them before hand. What a nusance!

Oscar Wilde, In one of his less flamboyant and camp outfits.

As if this wasn’t bad enough, he spent last night Reducing the other babies to state of insensible wailing and dribbling with his barbed wit. They found the acid quips about their baldness and table manners particularly hurtful. As for their dress sense, Oscar said he could quite understand why they shat in those dreadful cotton rags they wore, as turd was the only thing they were fit to carry. They were all physical wrecks afterwards. None of them could string a coherent sentence together. I suppose the will be deprived of their reason for months and years to come. Some couldn’t walk afterwards; others had no hair, although many had no hair to begin with.”

Another Extract from the Memoirs of Sir William Wilde:

As a child he was rather crtitcal of my dress sense insisting that I should wear ‘Something in blue satin’ to ‘bring out my eyes.’ He dispeared at my wearing a bowler hat, stating that it was a ghastley nuevo riche eysoreand ‘more vulgar than Harrods.’

“ I tried to perswade him to wear a nappy, but he hated the idea, rejected it as a ‘Vile contrivance.Fit only for the gutter’ And remarked that my suggestion that he wear one was a ‘Purile and isolent joke, in the worst possible taste.’”

-Jane Francesca, Lady Wilde

“How could one even concive of going about the town in such a garment? The foolish woman was quite wrong to offend my sesibilities, with such a barbed and callous insult.

-Jane Francesca, Lady Wilde

“Ah yes I remember Wilde, loathsome little Queen. He was always a trouble maker. On one occasion he stole the discipline master’s beating cane, decorated it with sequins and peacock feathers, then returned it the next day. Announcing that he had turned ‘A device of pain, into an object of beauty.’ Insolent little tick, to teach him manners I had the prefects beat him with cricket bats, it had no effect. Actually if I didn’t know better, I’d say he enjoyed the whole thing.”

-Geoffrey Worthington, Headmaster, Portora Royal School.

“My schooldays were an endless procession of Beatings and cold showers, with porridge in between. Curse that porridge it has blighted all my days!”

-Oscar Wilde.

University and Aestheticism.

“All art is quite worthless, but disposing of it would merly clog up the drains.” -Oscar Wilde.

“He was the talk of the entire collage. He began decorating his rooms in an ouragiously decadant manner, with peacock feathers, lilies, sunflowers, blue china and other objets d'art. He said that the noble sport of rowing was ‘piffle’ and the ‘pointless exertion of wreched cretins. Who deserve to sufficate like insects in their own repugant sweat’ As you can probably tell he became rather unpopular. -Thomas Winchester,Proffesor of english literature, Magdalen College Oxford.

“Decadance is merly a desire for high standards, why have toliet roll’s made of paper when they could be made of gold leaf? Why have a gravel driveway,when diamonds would be far more decorative. Why have cornflakes for breakfast, when one could have cocaine?” -Oscar Wilde.

“We taught that loathsome sodomite the value of manners, We threw a pint in his face, him in the river, and his furniture down a well.” Tarquin Montague, Captain of the Oxford rowing team 1878.

“Montague may have been a cad, but he had very nice eyes.” -Oscar Wilde.

The Queensberry scandal

“A sticky affair, especially for "Bosie.” -Oscar Wilde.

“My father bleated like a goat whenever he heard Wildes name. And insisted I was to have nothing to do with a man interested in “Grossly indecient cucumber matters.” -The Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas,nicknamed "Bosie",

“I planned to interrupt the opening night of The Importance of Being Earnest with an insulting delivery of vegetables, but somebody tipped Wilde off. And they barred me from entering the theatre.” John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry

“The Marquess of Queensberry punched me in the face, he had soft warm hands with tastefully manacured nails. I asked him to dinner. He punched me again. I think secretly he must have liked me. Who could fail to? -Oscar Wilde.

“We had a love-hate relationship, mostly hate.” John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry

“Oscar decided to sue my father for libel, slander and loss of appitite. After reciving a card bearing the inscription "To Oscar Wilde, posing as a Sodomite". Two days later he called him a ‘whoopsy’, tweeked his nose and burned his best silk hat.” -The Lord Alfred Bruce Douglas,nicknamed "Bosie",

“I remember the first time I saw "Bosie", I cried “This is the boy for me!” and sat on his lap. But there was nothing going on between us. Of course we slept in the same bed, but nothing indecient took place, we just played scrabble.” -Oscar Wilde.

“His scrabble defence was torn apart by the prosecution, it was filmsier than the dress he was wearing.” John Douglas, 9th Marquess of Queensberry

“I admit the floral gown was a mistake, it gave the jury the wrong impression. As did my habit of adressing the judge as ‘darling’.” -Oscar Wilde

Your Opinion

Since your one of the admins I like best 'round here, and I think we have a similar sense of humor...Will you take a look at Ape-Shit Crazy and Template:Ape-Shit Crazy, and tell me what ya think? I just created both, cuz they've been wanted for awhile. Actually, what would be best is if you could help me a bit on the article. I like the template a lot, but I dont want the actual article to be too similar to Bat Fuck Insane. Anyway, please look at em and let me know what you think, and help a bit if you have time. Thanks. Sir C  Holla | CUN --01:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Whoa, Sir C - I'm most definitely not an admin, nor do I want to be one, though if I did, I'd say my chances are about... zero percent! They haven't even given me one of those silly military ranks they were so keen on a few weeks ago, not that I care about that either of course. But putting all that aside for now, I'm guessing the problem here (if there is one) might be how to best differentiate between your article and BFI... To me, "ape-shit crazy" suggests someone (or something) who's relatively lucid and still capable of thinking somewhat logically, but who's nevertheless completely out of control, possibly on some sort of rampage or "spree." So I'd say the key would be to avoid pure randomness and focus more on outrageous/outlandish/confrontational/hyper-reactive statements that still make sense, at least internally. And they wouldn't have to necessarily be insulting or offensive to any specific person or group - in fact, it might be funnier if the crazy confrontational behavior was directed at people who themselves are being seen as insulting or offensive. Does that sound anywhere close to what you had in mind...? If so, let me know and I'll add some stuff! If not, well, let me know that too I guess.  c • > • cunwapquc?

I just figured you were an admin because you're kinda influential, and have the honorable CUN instead of MUN. My mistake, guess I was out of the loop for the months I was inactive. Well in any case you should be an admin, based on how much you've done...Anyway, sure, your ideas sound fine. I've just kinda come to a writer's block on the article. I copied the Ape-Shit Crazy section from the BFI page and added that, wrote a few lines and now I'm kinda stuck on exactly that: differentiating between the two. I like the template, as thats short and easy, but I'm just not sure what to add to the article without sounding too similar. It would be great if you could add some content, as what you're talking about sounds like it would fit in fine. If you add anything, please let me know. Thanks Sir C  Holla | CUN --21:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Influential? Really? I wouldn't have thought so. Various people have figured out that I'm a good proofreader, so they'll ask me to check articles over and such, though I think I tend to formalize them too much ("Yuky doody" notwithstanding!)... Regardless, there's no chance I'll ever be an admin, you'll just have to trust me on that one. Anyway, I added a bunch of stuff, but if it's not what you had in mind, don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings if you change it, get rid of it, etc...  c • > • cunwapquc? 22:41, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

But you are influential, you just won't own up to it. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 22:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Great job on the article! I just added even more, and I think we have the start of something GREAT here..I like what you did, and if you want to add some more, go ahead. I like it. Sir C  Holla | CUN --00:47, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

AND...Im giving you my newly created award for your contributions

Plate of cornbread!!! Sir Cornbread has done awarded you a whole plate of cornbread fo shizzle! You should feel really special. Now, go get some pork chops and fried chicken, and have yo' self a nice home cooked meal. --Sir Cornbread

Hey, thanks! I was just about ready to go make a batch, actually! Uh, I guess I'll still have to... but it's the thought that counts!  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, I did it. I VFH'd it. Let the Uncyclopedians decide the fate. But, um, you can vote for it if you want, I gave you credit in the nomination. Vote Ape-Shit Crazy for featured article!!!!!! Sir C  Holla | CUN --04:52, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, don't worry, I usually vote for things I've had a hand in. Interesting that someone would nominate the BFI article around the same time, though... I'd hate to think it's because they saw what you were up to and wanted to blunt your enthusiasm for some odd reason, but I've seen people do lots more questionable things than that around here!  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:58, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Eh, I doubt it was personal, it was just some stupid IP user w/ about 40 contribs. But our work is better than BFI anyway! Sir C  Holla | CUN --05:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

NRV Tag

Ya, it probably cannot be improved even slightly, I just think the article is 2 stupid to even remain on the site. I guess VFD would probably be a better choice. Vaya con dios. --Sir Cornbread 23:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree, then! ...Yikes, next thing ya know, folks are gonna wanna get rid of Poop Cuisine!  c • > • cunwapquc? 23:27, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Well. who WOULDN'T fight for fried chicken?? Im sure there are many people that would. --Sir Cornbread 02:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

And they'd be right to do so! After all, fried chicken... well, it's yummy. Anyway, there's really no reason why this one article should turn into an ongoing bone of contention between us, Sir C - I've always liked and respected your material, and if you look at my own articles list you'll see that I haven't originated anything with a scatological theme myself. In fact, other than this one article, I've haven't even touched anything with a scatological theme. I actually think the real humor in I maed a yuky doody comes from something else entirely, namely the fact that wikis can be edited by anyone, including small children. For point of reference, the youngest administrator on Wikipedia is, like, eight years old! This article simply exaggerates that whole issue to the point of absurdity - that's the genius of it, not the fact that it's about poop. The original author may not have even intended it that way, but intent and effect aren't always the same, as we both know... Still, I guess if it were about baby food or rubber ducks, it probably wouldn't have the same impact.

Anyway, I say let's just let bygones be bygones, and really, other than occasional pops from the "Random page" link, nobody is really going to see this thing. It was never even added to "Template:Recent," though I certainly could have done that on behalf of the original poster if I'd wanted more people to see it!  c • > • cunwapquc? 16:49, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Dont take it that I have a problem w/ you at all, cuz I dont...we were just on opposite sides in an epic battle. I like your work as well, and I know you didnt help on that article, except for the picture (the only funny part). I dont even really have any problems w/ that article either, as long as its not on VFH. I mean, you even said on the nomination page that it wouldnt be front page material. As long as its not going 2 turn into the likes of Euroipods or something, I dont mind too much. Its just that when I saw it on VFH, I was terrified...And if some Wikipedia admins are really eight, no wonder they're such morons over there! Thats nuts/hilarious. Anyway know dat there aint no beef between us, and that the article is in the past. Sir C  Holla | CUN -- 22:51, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Well thanks for saying welcome back, my computer was broken for over a month, and it was a huge pain in the ass. Then once it was fixed, I got caught up installing software and what not. Long story. Anyway, now that its summer... I'm back on Uncyclopedia like I used to be. Your cornbread didnt lie, I'm back for good. --Sir Cornbread 05:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you back???

I saw where you did something. Are you back, or just toying with me again? Hope you hang around, cause I likes you. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 23:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

But you didn't answer my last e-mail! I was worried you didn't love like want to play golf with me anymore. Anyway, I just came back to post the OGG on my user page, so that certain people could hear what I sound like. Maybe it'll get 'em thinking - who knows! Beyond that, I'm going to try "short burst of activity followed by long period of silence mode" for a while. And it may be about time for some more of that silence mode, looks like.  c • > • cunwapquc? 23:49, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

It's another devastating mass wikivandalism attack by Junior Miss Prettiestpretty on Wheels!!!

Of course I still love like think the world of you. First, we've moved, and then I had to unpack my life and find new places to stash the meager odds and ends that are the physical evidence that Prettiestpretty, Large-Animal-Vet-Prettiestpretty, Junior Prettiestpretty, Middle-Child-Who-Will-Grow-Up-With-A-Complex Prettiestpretty and Junior Miss Prettiestpretty ever existed. Then I had to wrestle my sister-in-law LeAnne (yes, the masculine Anne) for the baby stuff that we loaned her last year. Guess what I'm have having for X-Mas! Found out on Easter. I was hoping that he had risen, but the rabbit died for our sins. So it looks as if Junior Miss Prettiestpretty will be joining the middle Prettiestpretty in therapy in a few years. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm getting a wee bit queasy...but I'll be doing it while I have a (forced) smile on my face! Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 12:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, congratulations! Now I owe you a housewarming gift and a baby shower gift! And your birthday is next month! And all I did was buy myself some new golf clubs. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you weren't mad at me, and I hope the new digs are OK... I've been thinking of finding a new place myself, actually, since it looks like I might be here a while. And yes, those middle-children do often get the short end of it. Luckily for me, I was the youngest of three! And hey, look how I turned out!  c • > • cunwapquc? 02:42, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, just what I need, another alien crawling out of my vagina after nine months in steerage. Hey, did you see what they did with my signature image??? It apparenetly got zapped when they "Cleaned" up the non-used images. This really sucks because I didn't keep a copy and I loved it so much. Bummer. pp, the ghost Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 14:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks like someone put the image back... Didn't catch who, but if said person is reading this, that was very kind of you! Btw, PP, I was thinking of wiping this talk page again. I assume you have no objections...?  c • > • cunwapquc? 01:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank ya

Hey Some — Glad ya enjoyed the Darth Overhaul of Sith Vicious; probably a little too Pistolscentric for its own good, but eh (*shrugs shoulders*). I think it's the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan references that push it over the edge, though. I mean, c'mon... a dead Qawwali legend recording with a grungy rock god? Frickin' ridiculous!

“Yeah, frickin' ridiculous is right.”

~ Eddie Vedder on the above paragraph

On a sidenote... I'm getting a bit worn out with my argument with myself over on Talk:Euripides. If you'd wanna pop something Greeky on there to, you know, gimme someone to flame besides myself, I may burn a goat in your honour. -- Immy IMme 19:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, you can never be too Pistols-centric! Anyway, try it now - I think all the Attic calendar's month names are in there, but just for easy reference, Euripides lived from 480 - 406 BC, and the month names are Hecatombaion, Metageitnion, Boedromion, Pyanopsion, Maimacterion, Poseideion, Gamelion, Anthesterion, Elaphebolion, Mounychion, Thargelion, and Scirophorion. And the cheese was made mostly from goat's milk, apparently... not that I looked it up or anything.  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:28, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. As a Greek gift sacrifice to you for absolutely brilliant services rendered (Eugene O'Neill? Genius!), white has given up her bishop and lured black into a false sense of security as her knight is hiding in the bushes... not that I looked up "Greek gift sacrifice" or anything... I may play chess, but I usually just let the universe whisper in my ear what move to make, eliminating any need to learn "moves" or even "piece names". What's that little guy in the front called? Yeah, I think you finished it off, at least the dialogue portion of it. Or am I just being lazy? I'm not looking to get into another full-scale epic again. Though there is that one last element I must add in there — time to flex my Corel muscles (arrgh... Corel). Oh, and Ew, Icky Poopers! for President. -- Imrealized 12:30, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

"Eww, Icky Poopers!" is actually what my wife and I used to say (often in unison) whenever we discovered cat poo on the floor. Always good for a larf... If it was cat sick, then the phrase was "Ewww, megabarfage!" or "Eww, barfomatic!" Either way, clumping cat litter is one of Mankind's greatest inventions.  c • > • cunwapquc? 17:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

My eyes...MY EYES!!!!!

...I've asked Todd and I would also like to ask you to take a look at Sexual Congress? I Got half way there and then lost it. You know me, I know you, hell intodays society that makes us practicly siamese twins, of a sort. Could you? Would you? Hugs, Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 23:37, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Done! And you probably shouldn't bother Todd with these things - talented though he certainly is, he's usually pretty busy with all that admin stuff, most Saturday nights.  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:31, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Just looking for a different eyes to review and make suggestions. Like yours very much - see how well we work together. I told Budddy that when the baby is born I'd like to give it the Christian name "Some User", he farted, rolled over and went to sleep so I guess that nixes that. Ain't love grand? If the article goes anywhere, you share top billing. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 17:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

More, more, more, how do you like it, how do you like it?

Hey,

Got another one I'd like you to look at: Do Not Remove. It needs you eyes. It came to me in a dream last night - its the hormones. I think its pretty good. But should it be retitled and moved to Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law? I'm working on an image idea that I hope to get done to night. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 13:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't retitle it, unless you really want to... Either way, it turned out really well, I thought! There is already an article entitled Stupid warning - I'll add a link to it after I click Save on this.  c • > • cunwapquc? 05:53, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Must you, Stupid Warning is something that really weak. BTW, appreciate the editing, but I liked my intro - its was simple. I still trust your eyes. Made me feel a bit like what I started with wasn't terribly good, though (pout). I'll live (pout). Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 23:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Y'know, you're right, as usual! Dammit, why are you so much better at this than I am? Anyway, I split the intro out, and that should make it a bit more accessible on the "front end"... I just hope I didn't cause a bunch of "Against" votes with that bit of misbehavior. If so, I apologize!  c • > • cunwapquc? 00:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Arise. Its my hormones. As the world rotates, the gravitational pull causes the estrogen to cause the amniotic fluid to swell, and...well you don't want me to go one, do you? Lets just say I am with child, I have mood swings and your standing up for me on the See Dick talk page is making turning me into a hot wet summer, if you know what I mean. So I'm going to pop a disney dvd in the player, tell the kids that mommy and daddy have to balance the check book and not to bother us until done. Should lock up the knives too.... Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 00:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh - could you proof my original version for me? Just for arguments sake. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 00:39, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

The original version of Do Not Remove in its entirety, or just the intro? Actually, User:Sbluen did a decent job of that - I think I might have overwritten his version with mine, because I was using an "external" text editor and the version I copied into my editor was previous to his. (So Sbluen, if you ever read this, sorry about that!) Still, I'll try to get to that in a sec (and stop making me blush)!  c • > • cunwapquc? 00:43, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

While your at it, could you take a look at my sandbox? Tell me what you think. You can even play with it. Go ahead. Its a reward. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 22:09, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

A reward? What did I do this time? I'll give that some thought, actually - some might accuse you of the Terrible Sin of List-Making™, though the table helps avoid the perception at least. It might be a good idea to split it into two or three separate tables though, if only make the layout nicer. Oh H-E-double-toothpicks, I dunno!

Okay, so you've got like what... 3 featured articles? And like... a bunch of other stuff too. Even promoting you this far puts you above most of the others in your category thingy.

I didn't see anything, but was wondering if you could lend your eyes to my new article and offer any advice or whatnot. I started out with a lot of steam, but feel like I sorta fizzled by getting too close/overanalyzing the subject. Any suggestion? On a sidenote, how was your fourth? -- Imrealized 04:45, 7 July 2006 (UTC) P.S. Notice how I asked you to do something for me and then asked you about yourself? Yeah, I noticed that, too. I really am an ass.

I rather like this new article of yours. I'll see what I can do, but I'm not sure it needs much, to be honest!  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... it's cool. I think I was just second guessing myself on it. The first kinda poured out but then I slowed a bit and started, oh, maybe going through a bout of self-doubt or something. I guess I just needed to hear someone else's opinion on it, particularly yours. Thanks for the feedback and if you do think of anything to add, feel free of course. -- Imrealized 05:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think I even saw a spelling error, except for "cemetary" which is supposed to be spelled "cemetery." And I think you understand why I don't immediately nominate these articles, deserving though they may be... Meanwhile, the Fourth didn't go off as well as I'd hoped. She had a nasty finger injury at the bowling alley, I forgot the mini-tripod at the fireworks display, and I was coming down with a horrendous flu bug the whole time. On the plus side, though, I won $3.60 at the racetrack! First time I'd ever been to a horse race, too... I was thinking of going back, but I don't want to risk becoming a gambling addict. Anyway, it's sleepy-time!  c • > • cunwapquc? 05:41, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Fixed "cemetery" (somehow I missed that many times) and tweaked it a bit more. Noms are nice and all (I guess I am beginning to enjoy them) but I just trust your perspective and your honesty (I can't remember what you described Asshole as, something like maybe a little too punk nasty or along those lines anyway - too lazy to look it up - but ever since then I've known that you'll gimme an honest opinion, which is a valuable commodity). Sorry to hear 'bout the fourth fiasco... hope things are a little less nasty-bowling-finger-injury-lost-tripod-flu-buggie-race-tracky-addicted these past few days. Thanks for the eyes. -- Imrealized 05:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

BirdE's hacked (sort of) account

Wowza...I'm not sure who would want to discredit me, but it could have been a cousin of mine who enjoys hacking my AIM account to harass my friends. I also have my eye on Bodah who wouldn't stop reverting the Pink Floyd page. Is there any way you can compare the IPs?

Hmmm... I'd say if it were someone who actually had your password and wanted to mess with you, they would have used your own account to do it. And it wasn't User:Bodah - I don't think you looked at the edit history carefully enough, since all he did was correct the spelling of Syd Barrett's last name. Admittedly, though, the two times he did that were his only edits. The reverter is User:68.42.65.200, and according to McAfee's "Track an Attack" feature, that IP traces to a Comcast cable modem somewhere near the Ann Arbor, Michigan vicinity... But such traces are not always accurate, and nobody here (not even the admins) has "CheckUser" capability to try and match that IP address to a registered user - not that it's likely to be one anyway. I doubt that it's User:Bodah though, because if you're going to revert someone you have a much better chance of getting support for it as a registered user.

Hey, whaddya think? VFP?

Anyhoo, this is sort of why I offered to proofread & fix up the Pink Floyd article over at Talk:Pink Floyd - if you make an article near-perfect grammatically, people are less likely to mess with it, for the same reason why someone who would paint a Hitler moustache on a magazine photo of the Mona Lisa would never dream of doing that to the actual painting. Well, maybe not the same reason... I'm just kidding myself on that score, but there's a similar psychology involved. I just haven't had time to do it yet! In the meantime, Syd just died, of course, so the Pink Faithful are likely to be highly sensitive right now... That's why I thought the perpetrator might have come from that direction, so to speak. Sorry... I guess you picked a real hornet's nest of an article to rewrite! You did a fine job of it, though!  c • > • cunwapquc? 23:53, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Syd just died?? How did that slip past me? Guess I'll crush up my Mandrax and mix it with my styling mousse before I take the stage to not sing for two hours tonight. I wonder if my friends will still pick me up tomorrow. Oh, and the sea isn't green, I love the queen, something something dream, something something joke. -- Imrealized 02:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Syd dies every few weeks, apparently. Poor bastard, probably never knew what hit him... But I'd say this just means you've been spending too much time doing silly, time-wasting things like eating, sleeping, going to work, and so on, when you really should be glued to the RSS feed from www.saucerfullofsecrets.com, 24-7, ensuring that your awareness of All Things Floyd remains absolutely up-to-date at every moment of every day. We must always be vigilant, Immy, lest our detailed knowledge of the inner workings of the Waters-Gilmour dispute, not to mention the viabiliity and life-status of various bandmembers and former members, be corrupted by inaccuracy and chronological inconsistency!

Shatnerloaf

Hello, thank you for your note on my talkpage. I am soooo proud of my graphics because they were better yesterday than the day before (and today's artwork is better than that--I am just learning how to use photoshop or Corel or whatever it is). A month from now I will think it sucks. Funny how Shatner makes his way into music consciousness. I think you would have to have read a music review to find the article amusing, but hey, I am experimenting with different styles and subjects.

Your art is very funny (and better than mine--curses!)! Kirk choking has gotta be one of the most attention-getting images of all time. We could use it on the English, but Louder page, or for something else---a followup Christmas album? Add a tree and we're in business. I have no problem with your image on the English page, say as an alternate European release or something.--Shandon 00:38, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

OK I have added it to the page, lemme know if it's OK or change the caption if you like.--Shandon 00:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Read --Splaka 01:45, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• Sorry about that, Splaka - in retrospect, that was reckless of me, and I shouldn't have done it. (Spang shouldn't have either, of course!) In the meantime, you've taught me the key difference between a simple link and a transclusionary link, which is 100 percent more than what I learned during the preceding part of the day. I guess I thought it might be worth a shot, if only to prevent all those spurious sig changes... Anyway, I'll be more careful in the future, promise!
  PS. I know it must be frustrating for you to see all the hubbub that's sprung up over the domain-name purchase thing, and I agree that it's largely unnecessary, if not silly... but in those peoples' defense, there have been a lot of people whose experiences with Jimbo via Wikipedia have been terribly negative, and people just get emotional and overprotective sometimes. For some, this coud be one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dreary day, and anything that threatens even just to change it significantly could easily be seen as a bad thing. Not much you can do about, except try to be patient, I guess!  c • > • cunwapquc? 05:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

The two new ones

Hey Somey... I enjoyed the two new articles you mentioned on that in-joke forum that some idiot started. I had already read the Siggie one (and even name dropped him in my additions to American Book o' the Dead) and Maiming the System is another fine and funny offering. Wait a sec, you're writing articles again? Excellent. I truly did miss your words 'round here — things were certainly less Some userish, which is never good. Anyway, good to see you're back in such a big way. -- Imrealized 03:20, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... Both of those were mostly written back in March, actually, though Maiming the System was originally going to be entitled something like "WikiSpamming" or "Spamopedia." However, I did the rewrite of The Witches of Breastwick only last week, when the sporked article (from Wikipedia) appeared. That only took about an hour, though. I've actually got about 5 or 6 articles written, in various states of completion, including Reasons to Get Banned, which I'll probably post when "HowTo:Get Banned" makes it onto the main page. Not that any of this should interest anyone... I guess I just didn't want people to think I was just hanging around doing absolutely nothing!  c • > • cunwapquc? 05:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah shit... my bad. I thought I'd read the Siggy one, but perhaps I had never read MtS (?), and then you saying your two most recent articles (or something) on that forum, I thought you'd meant you'd just written them. I feel like a bit of a douche. Sorry. So writing WofB was ""dismally tedious" (that one I remember exactly, I think), huh? It seems like you had some fun writing it, though that is a great ending. So five or six articles kickin' around? Impressive. I've only got three or so, in a single state of completion, which is still locked inside my cranium. I'll let 'em loose eventually so that perhaps they'll be read, one day, somewhere in the future where they belong (or something). -- Imrealized (or something) 20:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Why should you feel in any way like a personal hygeine product just for not knowing that they'd been mostly written a few months ago? Why, that's just silly. Anyhoo, I guess I've started to think that writing my own anti-Wikipedia screeds was always less productive than finding sporked Wikipedia articles and just rewriting them to have the opposite intent of the originals... I may be deluding myself in thinking that people will stop sporking if that happens consistently, but as far as I'm concerned, every time I do that, it helps just a smidge. And, of course, it's much easier!  c • > • cunwapquc? 08:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Any Thoughts?

Hello, any thoughts on American Postman? I'm trying some risky subjects these days. Thx--Shandon 23:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

It may not be that risky, in comparison to some of the stuff we have around here... If anything, it might not be risky enough. It could use one or two more jokes, especially in the gameplay description, and even if you have to resort to outright silliness - which might include references to squirrels, cheese, etc. (whatever comes to mind, I guess). Also, I probably would've called it "American Postal Worker," but that's a minor quibble! What would really put it over the top would be to somehow make an image that's recognizably of a mail-sorting center, but which also looks like a Doom II screenshot - complete with a first-person shooter shotgun in the lower-middle of the frame, ammo counts, your health percentage, etc. I'd offer to make one, but I won't have time until this weekend at the absolute earliest... By the way, I have to say that your grammar and spelling are first-rate! I don't think this article had a single error in it. People are going to start asking you to review their articles pretty soon, if you're not careful!  c • > • cunwapquc? 07:42, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Well at least it doesn't sound like the article is a bad idea thx--Shandon 15:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

How is it now? Feel free to edit if you like.--Shandon 16:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Much better! And I may just do that... Expanding the last section with some material about Jack Thompsonesque protests from local dogs and "kids with skateboards lying around" might give it some extra zing at the end. I dunno, let me think about it some!  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:25, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Please do! I did some quick google research & came up with a couple small hahas but...--Shandon 15:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I have just rewritten the article with a different style...what do you think?--Shandon 23:07, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I like it! In fact, I messed with it a bit. Perhaps too much... Anyway, I'd mainly want to draw your attention to the additional silliness added - as it was, it was almost too real. Maybe that was the intention, in which case I apologize for messing it up, but... It's not a completely outlandish notion to think that someone might actually design a game like that. Probably just a matter of time!  c • > • cunwapquc? 06:04, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Your additions are good, they do add to the article significantly in the Funniness department. Especially appreciative of the expanded Critics/Fans sections. Thx--Shandon 15:35, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Do you think this article is ready to nomm for VFH? I think it has had enough contributions & is a good enough idea, & should not languish in obscurity like so many postmen...ahem. BTW do you read UnBooks? I could use some help winning an award over there. Plus I feel I deserve it. Just go to my user page & the articles are written there. Thx--Shandon 06:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Y'know, I've been trying to mostly avoid VFH, VFD, and especially VFP for over 4 months now. So I'd say sure, it has a pretty good chance, but there are voting trends to consider - like is it too similar to something else that's been featured recently, or does it use any gags that have been overused lately in general... I'm probably not much help in that area anymore, though I might have been back in February/March. Also, I've only nominated one or two articles myself the whole time I've been here, which isn't a good way to become Mister Popularity in Wikiland, I suppose. But I might make an exception in this case! Also, sorry I haven't been too responsive lately - I've been trying to tie up some loose ends at work before I go on my first real vacation in, I dunno, seems like forever!  c • > • cunwapquc? 18:19, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, so having said that, I just voted for on three VFH'd articles. I guess I'm a complete hypocrite... Anyway, let me read this thing over a couple more times to see if there isn't anything that could be done to ensure Total Overwhelming Victory.  c • > • cunwapquc? 18:53, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the UnBooks AOTM vote. I appreciate it...I've done a lot of work over there & it's nice to get feedback. As far as the article goes, I dunno, I tend to get excited about whatever I'm working on at the time & that's not necessarily a good thing...you made Postman much more funny (it was hard for me to work with beyond the initial concept) so I'll leave it up to you.--Shandon 01:21, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

PLS Query

Hi there, I was hoping you might have a minute to comment on this...thx--Shandon 02:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

David M. Simian, Jr.

Beautifully written (again)! I sometimes think this site doesn't deserve you or something. But this strikes me as the sort of thing that only about 2-3 percent of people are going to get - and not necessarily including myself, either. What might help would be a photo of an old, really grouchy/cranky-looking guy hunched over a typewriter... it wouldn't even need a caption, or the caption could be as simple as just the guy's name. Maybe something like this monkey on the right might work, but an old-geezer type would probably be better.
The only other thing I might suggest is that finishing with a letter to God doesn't reach quite far enough into the realm of absurdity - you might try having him write the last one to the leader of an invading alien space fleet, or maybe a cartoon character, such as The Incredible Hulk... I'm just throwin' out ideas here, though. It's quite good as-is, really!  c • > • cunwapquc? 05:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Do you mind if I steal your image (is it original?)??? I added something about the Hulk, but am sad to hear only 2-3% might get it. That, I suppose, is the price of Being Me. I wanted to submit it for best PLS n00b article. Anyways thanks for being the Very First to respond to my inquries about this article, which, I will have you know, was originally huffed by Flammable in a slightly different form yesterday--Shandon 05:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

It's not my image, so I don't know if it's original... But every image on the site is usable for just about any purpose, assuming it's legal to begin with - any internal license issues are supposedly taken care of by having the image itself link to a page containing the name of the uploader. The license info attached to each image (if any) is mostly for the benefit of people who might want to use the image off-site. As for Flammable... he's a fundamentally decent bloke, but he's sort of "old school," assuming that means anything around here. It may be that his idea of what UnBooks: should look like isn't so compatible with that of the people who've been posting stuff there... I mean, it's not really meant to extend the encyclopedia-parody concept, seems to me. He wanted to delete all the "Making up Quotes" pages (now in Unquotable) a while ago, too, but he came 'round eventually (or at least I think he did)! So don't take it personally... (Then again, I've never had anything deleted, AFAIK!)  c • > • cunwapquc? 06:00, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Hardly! I'd say don't worry about it - the more confused they are the better, in my opinion. I mean, do whatever you think best of course, but I figure as long as it isn't obscene or part of a coordinated Wikipedia attack of some sort, then I should either be flattered, or unconcerned — or both!  c • > • cunwapquc? 05:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Gee I'm honored

But what exactly did you have in mind when you listed me as the second privacy violator of the month on Brandtopedia? Messedrocker 07:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

It's all a matter of perspective, MR. If you feel you've been wronged, I won't object if you change it — though it might help if you could suggest someone else (other than me, of course, since I've never had an account or made an edit on Wikipedia, and I therefore rule myself ineligible). The fact is, I consider any Wikipedia user who does not explicitly and publicly state that any living person of marginal notability (which I define as "not a household name") should be allowed to have his or her own Wikipedia biography deleted to be a privacy violator. Sorry man, that's just what I believe, and I guess I just don't care how you all feel about Brandt personally. But back to the point, I would have left User:DrPoodle there indefinitely, but he got a bit greedy, I'm afraid! You were the only one left... I guess we could just get rid of it, or if not, it doesn't necessarily have to be an Uncyclopedia user (that just makes things slightly neater). Tough call, actually.  c • > • cunwapquc? 01:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Nah I don't mind... I was just curious what your motivation was. I actually like being Privacy Violator of the Month! :D Messedrocker 02:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Good! Because nobody else seems to be taking an interest in Mr. Brandt here these days, which isn't surprising given that nobody knows who the hell he is! So it looks like you're going to have to be "it" for at least another month, if that's OK... I guess we could always give it to Mhaille, but unfortunately, it's not really insulting enough!  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Your UnNews Ending...

...is superb. Of course after the addition of Charo I was compelled to add a Cuchi-Cuchi, but other than that I'd say you turned an UnNews story with no finale punch into one with a snappy ending. Do you think that the story makes light of that whole situation enough, or do you think when they see it they're gonna be pissed? I'm hoping it's more of the former and less of the latter, but with these things you never know.

The little pop-up peoples on Unquotable are quite fun and while I've got my complimentary galoshes and waders on, your FisherPrice pic, which is outstanding, needs to be added to the Retrospective. I was working on doing it, but wasn't sure how to resize it without making it a thumbnail, which'll put the box thing around it. I suppose that is an option, but I think the pic speaks for itself and doesn't really need a caption or a border keeping it all boxed-in-like. But the big white blob of space next to the TOC is asking for that picture. It needs it.

Oh, and thanks for the vote on SLTS... wait, that was a vote, right? -- Imrealized ...hmm? 21:04, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Heh-heh... One must never underestimate my knowledge of Euro-pop stars with one-word names ending in "o"!Anyhoo, thanks as usual, and I'll have a go with the Fisher-Price thingy right now - but then I've got to do some real-life-related things, like go to the store, as there's nothing in the fridge whatsoever except watermelon. (And yes, that was a vote, but I'm still trying to maintain a somewhat low profile. When I stop with the low-profile thing, you'll know by my sig changing into something semi-readable!)  c • > • cunwapquc? 21:11, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, and a tip of the Hatlo hat

I didn't know about Unquotable:Jesus Christ. Many thanks for the info. Frankly, I think Famous sayings of Jesus is a better title, especially given the lack of a space between the colon and the J in the former title. On the other hand, Unquotable:Jesus Christ is older. Clearly, the two pages should be combined. I'd appreciate an opinion on which title you think is better. Rick Wood 23:15, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, this is a long story, I'm afraid! (Btw, over here we generally respond on the same talk page - I should've mentioned that, sorry.) All of the quotes pages were once called "Making up [person's name] quotes." For whatever reason, people got tired of having them called that (although the original, Making up Oscar Wilde quotes, is still there). Eventually, some of the admins decided they should all be moved into their own pseudo-namespace, so as to better parody WikiQuote. Originally the speudo-namespace was called "QuoteUnquote," but it was recently renamed (at my behest) "Unquotable" (see Unquotable:History of Unquotable). At some point they might make it into an official namespace, probably the next time they create namespaces.
The effect of this seems to be both good and bad - the pages are in a kind of "sanctuary" there, where they're unlikely to all be huffed at once, but they're also "ghettoized" there to some extent. Recently we added a link to the Main Page, though, which changes things a bit... In this particular case, it's easy to see why someone might create a page with a title like "Famous sayings of Jesus," since there are, what, about 1,200 Jesus pages on the site (of varying descriptions)? Certainly I would encourage you to merge your quotes (the fake ones, at least) into the pre-existing page, but there's no requirement that you do so. However, their survival would be about 98 percent assured there, whereas you've seen how zealous people can be about NRV'ing and VFD'ing articles that don't quite impress them (for whatever reason).
Anyhoo, I just wanted to make sure you knew about it, and I was mostly just curious as to the other thing. I try not to be deliberately offensive to large, generalized groups of people (i.e., Christians), but to be honest, there are probably a few people here who would be more respectful than I am. (Though not funnier, of course!)  c • > • cunwapquc? 23:47, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Brackets?

Hey what's this about using brackets? I usually think that I'd like my sentence to work if I take everything inside the brackets away, and that's what I base where I put my fullstops. Is there an official word on this, tho? Where do you reckon you put the full stop? --Aaadddaaammm 09:40, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Brackets? I thought I'd taken issue with your placement of commas and periods outside of quotation marks. In other words, "this is correct," whereas "this is not". Putting the periods outside of the quotes identifies you as a programmer, nine times out of ten. (I'm a programmer myself, among other things...) There's a different rule for brackets and parentheses, as long as we're on the subject - the period goes inside the parentheses only if the parenthetical statement is a complete sentence. (This might be a good example.) Otherwise, it goes outside of them (like so). But I think you've got that rule pretty much down, and either way, it's no big deal... Still, I might be the best proofreader on the whole website, if you ever feel that "perfectionist urge" coming on! Sbluen, Rei, and Falcotron are all fine proofreaders too, actually, when they can be bothered, and also Olipro if you ever do any UnNews articles — and none of them are admins. (Those are just a few examples among many, of course! I just hope that only a small number of the folks I've failed to mention come here and notice that I've failed to mention them. With my luck, they all will.)  c • > • cunwapquc? 00:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

thank you sir

Thank you very much for your compliments. I do not use a text editor, I do it all by hand. I would be honored if you did nominate me for Noob of the month or put up I am not kidding on VFH. Primarily, I'm into writing UnNews, because they're short and sweet and everyone deserves to know what's really going on. I would leave you a fancy template award, but I suck at making those, so I apologize for not leaving one.

Blocking Wikipedia is Good

Good job, I was cleaning up You and they vandalized it. I left a note on their user's page about what they were doing so an admin might take notice. I tried to find the report abuse page, but I could not find it. As soon as I revert an article they vandalize it again. I did post it on the forum. If you blocked them, nice job. --2nd_Lt Orion Blastar (talk) 01:29, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Heh heh... Hinoa got him, actually (and the shortcut to Ban Patrol is just UN:BP. And don't tell me you've forgotten that I'm not an admin too? I've really got to do something to correct that misassumption!  c • > • cunwapquc? 02:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I got you confused with Some Admin, my mistake. :) Real life stresses got to me and I forgot the ban patrol page. We got Gordunk vandals as well. Looks like I'll have to bookmark it. I am not an admin, but I am unemployed, Bat Fuck Insane and have a lot of free time on my hands so I can revert edits and report on vandals. --2nd_Lt Orion Blastar (talk) 05:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Uncyclopedian of the month

Thanks for the votes and references. By the way I am a moderate, not a right-winger. I grew up being brainwashed by liberal teachers and was once a liberal democrat, until I learned how the real world worked and how to undo the liberal brainwashing. I was a moderate republican, but now I am a moderate ninja pirate or moderate centris party member. Just like you find it rare to find a good and nice right-winger, I have found it rare to find a good and nice left-winger. Yes you are a good and nice left-winger and it is a pleasure to know you. I write anti-liberal articles because I know their dirty little secrets and they are a better target than the right-wingers. I just let the late night TV talk shows and liberal blogs make fun of the right-wingers, although I did write some anti-conservative articles like Supply-side Jesus, God-Fearing Republicans, etc. I tried to write a Punisher article making the Punisher a conservative and member of the NRA and plays poker with Rambo in an attempt to kill two birds with one stone and make fun of conservatives and the Punisher, but it was deleted and rewritten based on some video game version of the Punisher instead. I figured that a gun-nut would most likely be a conservative rather than a liberal. :)--Off Des Orion Blastar (talk) 21:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Quote marks

Some time ago you had a go at me for putting punctuation inside quotation marks. I bowed down to your superior knowledge at the time. HOWEVER, I have since found out that the American style is to do what you said, whereas the British style is to only include punctuation in the original quote within the quote marks. Ha!

• I wouldn't necessarily say I "had a go" at you - at the time, you were close to getting an indefinite ban for making an apology-demand, and I just wanted to give you a concrete indication that I'd actually read your material. But as for the actual punctuation issue, two questions: First, are you British? And second, why would you trust Wikipedia on anything enough to cite it as a source?  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Yea I know you weren't having a go at me, and thanks for reading stuff. No I'm not British, I'm from Noo Zealand where we speak (and write) New Zealand English, which is pretty much British. Sorry for the citation, too. I've removed it to avoid any certain death. Aaadddaaammm 07:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

New Zealand! Lovely country - I've always wanted to go there. In fact, I have every album the Chills ever recorded! The Quiet Earth is still one of my favorite movies, too... Anyhoo, I'd say just punctuate things however you like, really. And remember, I am not an admin. Try to think of me as the local Jesse Jackson, or something along those lines. Of course, I flatter myself...  c • > • cunwapquc? 15:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Haha you know the way to a Kiwi's heart! It is a lovely country, and I've almost always wanted to be here. The word on the street is that you are an admin... Aaadddaaammm 03:15, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

IANAA! (See below...)  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

A thought occured to me...

I was inspired to create this course description for uncycloversity, when it occured to me:

1. are there going to be any courses, or did I miss the point of the joke?
2. is this one taken?
3. Do I need permission from the headmaster to make pages for his university.
4. are you heading up the project?

These are all good questions, Soul101. I can at least say that the answers to #2 and #3 would be "no." As for #1, I wouldn't be too concerned about that - the idea either takes off or it doesn't, but it's fine either way, as long as the basic façade is in place. To be honest, I had thought about the idea of discouraging people from adding courses, leaving the "Course Catalogue" as a red link, and so on, but that joke's probably too subtle, and too limiting besides.

As for the last, I think I'm going to have to go on an extended holiday, so to speak, and not for the first time. It's probably just me, but I've been getting an unusually bad vibe from the place lately, which is saying quite a lot if you know some of my history here! I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I do have a theory: I'm probably the oldest contributor to this website, possibly by as much as 5, even 10 years, and I suspect that some of my natural "older-guy" behavior is seen by some of the longer-term admins as me being "uppity," or disrespectful, or maybe just-plain tiresome. It's become clear that a small handful of them genuinely resent it, and it only takes one, after all. In fact, I've apparently got this reputation of acting as if I am an admin, when of course I'm not, don't want to be, and wouldn't even be asked in any case.

So I guess the answer to #4 is also "no," but it also begs the question of whether Uncycloversity really needs anyone to head it up in the first place. I'd probably have to say "no" to that too, to be honest, but FWIW I wouldn't object to someone taking a lead role in expanding on it, either... Anyway, I don't want to be a buzzkill maven or anything like that. By all means, go to town, man! Enjoy yourself! Make the nice people laugh! The hokey-pokey is what it's all about, after all!  c • > • cunwapquc? 04:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Russian Reversal, etc.

Hey there. Thanks for the award... though I must admit I go on those quote crushing sprees every now and then strictly for my own selfish purposes. Bad quotes (or just too many of them) make me stop reading, regardless of how funny the main article might be. ~ T. (talk) 09:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, i've discover the sig trick. However, i've discover the portuguese uncyclopedia too. I will be there. Nice to meet you. --Slade 19:02, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Article Help?

Hi there...this article could certainly use some random quotes/humour/what have you from a brain such as yours, if you have some time...please!--Shandon 19:49, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Bradaphraser was throwing away last year's Christmas cards, and realised they had purposefully forgotten about you. This user is completely thoughtless, doesn't care about Multi-culturalism, and therefore DEMANDS you have yourself a Merry little Christmas... NOW! Failure to comply with result in disciplinary action up to and including excommunication from the Capitalist Church

May you focus on your successes and forget your failures here at the end of the year. Never forget how we all improve one another's lives. Season's Greetings.--<<>> 17:35, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
