adminship is next to zim_liness?

Thanks for supporting me for this dubiously honorable position. My ego owes you much, Kimosabe. Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 14:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh sure, you're thanking me now... just wait until the weight of the internet world starts weighing on your shoulders... murder will be all that is on your mind. ... Wait, I'm sorry, I was thinking of something else. Yes, congratulations!--<<>> 18:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Foolitzer Prizification

Because I soooooo owe you this... I'd do two to count the EGAEDM but that's just talkpage spamming then :P

Somebody has awarded you a cookie! Now go play in traffic.

Tayor!

Tayor has decided to grace you with her presence. She likes kittens, and apparently you too. Yay!! Now hear these words of wisdom, and good bye.

Condolences

Sorry you felt you had to vote for me, since I'm the only one in the running... heh heh. Really, though, thanks for your vote, and for the help and wikiness you've given to n00bs like me. Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 16:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you even considered a n00b anymore, zim?--<<>> 04:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Funny

I really find it funny what you guys are doing, tis great, I'm glad I provoked it, can I get something out of this besides a -4? HAHA -- Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!) 01:56, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I dunno... maybe...--Asshole 02:46, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I just got back from out of town, and serving my ban...and I read the blurb you put in HowTo:Get Banned and I laughed my ass off, was it really slated for being featured? If so I'll hate myself when I go to Germany for two months...I'll just get drunk everyday and run around like a hooligan watching World Cup games. -- Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!) 22:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, we uh... fixed that. The forged votes, then the article, were removed from VFH (then placed on the talk page), but if no one had noticed, yours would have been featured next. That's what I saying. The joke was a good one, but it still deserved a ban. You got off easy with a "reduced ban" for being provoked into your actions.--<<>> 22:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Shit, that sucks, I would have loved to have it featured. Oh well. I'll have to write something else then I guess.-- Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!) 00:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Brad, darling, honey, sugar...

Brad honey, I hate to ask, but is there any way to LeCorbu back onto the VFH page. I was hoping he could hang out there for the full six months - were not that far off. You know, so I could submit it to Guinness? If not, you can't blame a girl for trying - hugs, Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 00:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Heh, I'd love to, but we've been keeping VFH around 20 articles, and we hit 30 last night. Soem of the really good articles that just stagnated were cut (incuding one of mine, grr, and another I nommed because I loved, double-grr). I know... it's frustrating to have something good that just gets ignored because of the VFH bloat, but what can you do, eh? Ah well, you got a nifty, rather rare award, anyways.  :)--<<>> 00:42, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Does the award count for anything in rank? I'm a social climber, what can I say. But you are right about the quality of the VFH pool of late. Rather top-notch - I'd hate to throw a new fish in that pool there's so much good stuff there now. Dame GUN PotY WotM 2xPotM 17xVFH VFP Poo PMS •YAP• 16:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

You already have CUN right? It wouldn't have moved you up, anyway, just been another feather-in-your-cap... er, wait. That's the top award we give: so prestigious, I can't even give it... Er... you can list it as a QVFH (Quasi-featured article), though it technically is above that, but some people might not know that. Us important people do, and that's what counts.  :)--<<>> 00:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Why don't you ever call me anymore?

Actually, this has nothing to do with our love affair, rather it's to applaud the edit on the updated Christianity page. If I had time, inspiration, or a wanton desire to clutter the Template namespace even more, I'd make an award for you. Instead, I'm just going to clutter your talk page. The end. --Jayrod 04:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Heh, cool enough. I find the best articles are written in an attempt to write from the opposing viewpoint of your own (since you can't HELP but take shots at people you personally don't like, this helps balance it out so that EVERYONE can read/enjoy it).--<<>> 19:11, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

About your excellent new User Page

[19:29] Mhaille: yeah I suppose it OK, Brad

You're also intelligent. If I was into guys and internet dating, I'd totally ask you out. --Kalir, Novice Burninator _{(offer instruction)} 17:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the cookie, its appreciated. Becasue of the Do NOT click any links! page, and many others, I'd say you deserve writer of the month fo shizzle. Good Night, And Good Luck. --Sir Cornbread 04:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

If Anyone Deserves This...

Job Well Dude… Your rug really tied this room together. Thanks.

For digging a hole big enough for me to kick the past into. Is that metaphor too morbid? Hmm, how about for being a lighthouse in an angry storm? Too midshipmany? Hmm, how about just for being an all-around nice guy, then? Yeah, that's the one. Thanks again. --Imrealized 07:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I thank you for the award, and the kind words. I stand behind my sentiments from when you first got here: I look forward to the day (which I don't think will be too far off) when you're one of the most respected authors around here.--<<>> 13:55, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

God

Why did you remove my nomination? Is there any point in me trying to negotiate with anybody here? Weri long wang 15:20, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I removed your nomination because it was going to reach -3 (3 more againsts than fors), and I was trying to save you the humiliation of that. It obviously wasn't what the folks at VFH were looking for. Keep trying, though. I was here for 8 months before I got my first featured article. It can take time.--<<>> 15:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

To tell you the truth I'm not after a featured article, I just want someone to pay attention to the article! I really don't understand what is so bad about it. Do think you (or anyone experienced that you know) could touch up the article to get of parts which are considered to be "rants"? Thanks. Weri long wang 15:51, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah. In that case, you just made a wrong turn. You're looking for the peer review, not VFH. Hope this helps.--<<>> 16:31, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to do that but I'm not sure I've been successful. Could you check. Thanks. Weri long wang 17:03, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

she's here--<<>> 00:55, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Votin' Wisely

I hope you win the Writer of the Month award, you deserve it for all your contributions. How many votes does it take to get to the tootsie roll center win the award? You had around 13 by the time I wrote this. Anyways, I wish you good luck to you on that! Señor DiZtheGreat  CUN AOTM ( Worship me!) (Praise me!) (Join me!) AMEN! 14:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!

As the previous winner of Writer of the month, I feel obliged to congratulate you on receiving the prize for June. Some super-intelligent pigeons are also praising you as we speak. Well done - here's the key to the WOTM lounge... --Hindleyite | PL | GUN | WOTM | Image Review - Use it | Converse 14:18, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I thank you kindly, and I am much enjoying my new sig. :)--<<>> 14:49, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Bradley, may I also add my hearty congratulations for this recognition. How does it feel to be at the top of the heap? I do so love a man on top. Faster Pussycat Kill Kill 13:41, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I must say, this feeling of power is new and exciting. I guess now it's just a matter of abusing it. I must find the right moment for that, though...--<<>> 14:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, its good to see such a deserving winner (not that the previous ones weren't!) but its good to see you rewarded for your contributions. Its not just about your own articles, for me a WOTM should be someone who improves the articles of other people too, and you certainly do that. Congratulations! -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

Thanks.  :)--<<>> 14:47, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I guess I'm a little late, but I'd also like to say congratulations. Definitely deserved. Sir C  Holla | CUN --21:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I thank you kindly.--<<>> 01:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

n00b

Hi, as I can conclude you know what you are doing & what people consider funny here, could you have a look at my articles & see if one is good enough for Featured nomination? Or any comments....thanks--Shandon 01:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Ape-Shit Crazy

Hey Brad, since you did win WOTM last month, I was wondering if you could take a look at my latest article, Ape-Shit Crazy, and give me some feedback. What would be best is if you could add some to it, since I really like most of what you've written here. Anyway, if you could add to it/look at it it would be greatly appreciated, because I eventually want to try to VFH this. I think I've got a pretty damn good start, I just want it to be perfecto. P.S.- Good job on Barns and Nobles. Thanks, Sir C  Holla | CUN --06:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the contribs! Im going to VFH it in the near future. Sir C  Holla | CUN --01:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

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

• Correction: I did VFH it. Vote for it if you like it, but in any case thanks for the help. Sir C  Holla | CUN --04:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

np. Good luck on your nom. I may abstain from this one, maybe. It'd be a first for me, not voting for something I'd worked on ... I dunno.... we'll see.--<<>> 04:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Brad is hot

Acid likes you. Be thrilled. Now go make him a sandwich.

Congratulations.....

and jubilations......on another featured article! -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

Woo! Wait 'till I tell my inlaws! They'll be so indifferent!  ;)--<<>> 14:41, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Vincent Does Know Razor Blades

Hiya, I'm sure I just didn't read some process rule someplace, but as you're the lucky guy who did the deed, what happened to this article? Is there an expiry date on VFH? I thought it was slowly but steadily doing well, in fact much better than some others. Anyway if I didn't stick up for it, I wouldn't be much of a sire, would I? Thx--Shandon 00:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I gave a reason for killing it. It was at +9, but had been on the page for a very long time. Features had been between +18 and +25 recently. It didn't look as though it had a chance to compete. I did give it a Template:QFH for being stout enough to last as long as it did, but it just seemed to be taking up space, what with it being nowhere near the other similar not-yet-highlighted articles from that era. That's the reasoning behind it, for what it's worth.--<<>> 01:58, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I--shouldn't you be sleeping??!--thought that was what was going on. Thanks & I did see the Quasi tag. By which I mean I appreciate it.--Shandon 02:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

PLS

So if I'm going for the Best Article category of the PLS, I can't include other's pics? I asked Hinoa, and he thought it would be OK. I know I have to do all the writing, but do I have to make all the pics as well? -- Sir C  Holla | CUN 19:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

---

Hey Brad, can I get My PLS article unlocked, so I can move it to the main namespace? I wanna try it on VFH now, so I need it where it should be. Thanks, -- Sir C  Holla | CUN 03:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

No. (That is to say, it's already done.)--<<>> 03:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Gracias. -- Sir C  Holla | CUN 03:14, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Cheasels

I'm making the article in my userspace under User:Ghelae/Cheasel. So it's probably better to help me work on it there before it moves into the main space or someone might end up NRVing it. ~ Ghelæ ^talk_contribs 14:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Newest Version

I'm not sure if you saw me link you to this in IRC, as my computer is crashing and going to hell right now (to much stuff happening at once me thinks) So I am going to have to make the weasel better tommorow. However, here it is as it appears now. Any of your ideas will have to wait 'till tommow, but feel free to give me advice. --The Zombiebaron 01:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

My Recent Ban

Hmm...I guess I'm sorry for making you look at pooh? Oh yah, and that 33 second ban acctually came just before an edit! --The Zombiebaron 00:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

HAHAHAHA! I'm surprised it actually hit you. It was designed to be hidden... like an Easter Egg... oh well, if it annoyed you, I'm sorry, but I figured I'd give you some annoyance back. ;) I just missed you on IRC, or I would have just told you there. (Funny pic, BTW, which is why I didn't vote against it). Cheers.--<<>> 00:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

You also didn't vote for it...yet...but anyway, thanks. --The Zombiebaron 00:28, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
