User:GlobalTourniquet/Astrology[edit source]
Hey there! I just looked at this. It is WAY better than the current Astrology article (which I had nothing to do with). But it still needs work. Would you like my help? I practice real Jyotish since 1975, and thousands of people actually pay me for it. You are about the only user here who knows that I do. It's not my main gig. BTW: I hope you enjoy looking after Unnews. Cheers!--Funnybony 18:42, Aug 16
- I put it up for Pee Review so that someone might identify where it needs work and help out. Collaborate then? Excellent! --
- Sure. It doesn't need a Pee review, it needs a good editing and polish. For example, the very first para is beat (i.e., not funny) but there is a load of good stuff you have written later. If you pull it from Pee review then I'll go through the whole thing with you. Let me know. Cheers!--Funnybony 19:08, Aug 16
- I'll allow that the better joke is in the top image caption, but I can't tell it twice. I really was trying to reword the existing article's intro to make it funniER - perhaps the joke needs to change. But I like the "poorly designed connect-the-dots puzzles" joke myself (yeah remove the word "celestial" there - it's superfluous). A lot of this really isn't my original material. You'll find that a large part of what I did was just reworking to try to improve the writing and presentation of the existing Astrology and (especially) Zodiak articles. But have at them - I'll remove the review request and we'll go to town. Oh by the way, there's a bit of vanity at the end there, and I'm not confident that it's appropriate, but part of me really likes it and I think it might work as a kind of exception here, though I'm not 100% sure. -- 19:35, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I just checked out your version, and its definitely better than the current version. So if you don't find an admin to move the article, just edit your article, hit "Select all", then select "Copy", then go to edit the article in mainspace, hit "Select all", then select "Paste". Presto, rewrite done. Just a friendly suggestion. -- Simsilikesims(♀UN) Talk here. 22:57, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
- Which is what I was going to do until I saw the text on the Move Article page tell me NEVER EVER DO THAT! in big capital letters with an excalamtion point. But then it said I can't do that because I will lose the history on the user page article and I was like "so?" Still, I didn't do it. --
- Hey there. Welcome to the unnews posting. You probably don’t need any help. You should paste your better version of Astrology over the old version. If no one objects then you’re home free. Cheers!--Funnybony 14:04, Aug 18

God hates[edit source]
Just want to ask if the god hates article is all that necessary? I'm all for agreement with the subject as I agree, he/she/it does appear to hate us - although, as an article it isn't worth anything. You did a lovely thing correcting my bad grimmer and speeling mistokes the other day. I just feel UnNews is meant to at least keep a level of humor up. Cunt is a nasty word still and people might be turned off by the news if they happened to click the god article. The site is about subtle parody of real news. I put the odd "fuck" in my articles but try to hold back from that language. My dad who's 71 said it doesn't need "blue" words in an article. I agree. You are doing a fine job as editor but AS editor you shouldn't have allowed an article like the god one on. Matt would have thrown it out as being "not funny". That's your job now Luke. Use the force wisely. No offense to you at all, I love the news and with some good editor decisions we can make it a friendly place for any age. 110.49.242.72 03:02, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
- My computer doesn't stay signed in. Annoying... I'm ticklethekeys by the way. x
- Did you read the source? -- 15:48, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Also this -- 15:50, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
- OK, so now you see those. Perhaps without me saying this you now see that the article is a parody of actual news - it is a form of satire called ad absurdum, and if you read the article carefully it is telling a kind of story as well. I actually consider what I've done there very high-brow comic satire, but it takes some careful attention to detail to see it. It's clear to me that you failed to grasp it, because the article doesn't say anything about God appearing to hate us, as you describe. The article is about the fact that people attribute hate for profanity to God (per the source article), so the author character of that piece just went batshit nuts about it. --
- Yes, I think I would have thrown it out. You're a much better writer than this. Not that I'm against swearing, I wrote some articles with it, but I kinda agree with Ticklethekeys. But you're the UnNews editor now, and you're a great writer too, it is to be expected that there will be some difference in the way you run things. :) Mattsnow 16:32, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
- Really? Surprising to me - the overdone swearing is the key to the satire, and it is funny, but more importantly it is satirizing the source. Did you consider those things? --
- Just my opinion there, I thought for a swearing match it wasn't too bad, maybe I would have let it go, maybe not. It would have depended on my level of caffeine in my blood, my overall mood with my girlfriend and if I had a good alcohol level in, who knows what I would have done! My argument is I don't like swearing for the fuck of it, but you are the boss now, although I am happy to give you a "second opinion" on any fucking shit, as I tried to seek to on IRC when making a move I thought would ruffle a few feathers, such as userspacing an article or plucking a bird. 05:26, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
- ^^^^^Drunk editing lol. I see you are doing fine, those TV shows on the UnNews page are hilarious. I was trying to say it's normal we have different tastes, and also, sometimes you can think an article sucks, then read it again the next day and think it's good. It depends on your present mood I guess. Mattsnow 22:05, August 28, 2012 (UTC

Editor[edit source]
About the above conversation... Let me start again. I love UnNews as a whole - (I like other holes but that's another story) The premise of UnNews is to be a place of Subtle Satire. Satire says it all without saying it all. The reader is supposed to fill in parts of an article by the pictures they get in their head - hence, they then laugh. An example of this is a great article by another user about Lindsay Lohan and the crash in the Porsche: "Despite doctor's best efforts, she survived anyway"... The picture I got in my mind was a bunch of disappointed doctors. Simple but funny. People are supposed to click to the news and not be quite sure if it's real or not. A standard is essential. If you are the full time editor I must inform people so only you touch the page. Useless if many do it. The front page remained the same for a few days so I wondered if you are still the editor. I will think of you as boss and chief etc from now - no problem with you at all. Quality articles in the right places and regular page updates is all I beg of you. Emperor Niquet - I am at your service. Hope you read this as intended. I am but a simple writer - who likes women as a whole. Ticklethekeys (talk) 02:24, August 30, 2012 (UTC) Daniel
- As a very seasoned UnJournalist and Foolitzer Prize winner (2010 February), I believe you will discover that I am very well versed in the premise of UnNews, and a champion (read my articles) of satire in all of its various forms. Subtlety is my favorite satirical mode also. The satire in the article that was complained about is actually extremely subtle - so subtle in fact that you and others missed it, because you couldn't see past the over-the-top presentation. I can accept that. This one is an example of something similar - it is not subtle on the surface, but it is subtlely skewering the people who were whining at the time that she was selling herself not just as an athlete, but as a damn sexy one. -- 15:00, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Write more like this one! You did exactly what I was talking about... "Don't you wish they skied backwards"... The image in my mind made me truly laugh! Plus you've mixed a sexy (fucking hot) woman and humor together - sort of creates an ironic feel which is great. All I can think about now is her ass. Oh and you dared to do what I do... put your own name in the article. Love writing in the 1st person, sounds more active like a running commentary etc. I will have a good look through your past articles. Dan 110.49.250.106 19:35, August 30, 2012 (UTC)
UnNews:Romney/Ryan to re-institute Negro slavery[edit source]
Chief, thanks for featuring this on the Front Page. I have tweaked your lede; my UnNewses tend, in the second paragraph, to lapse into providing factual background instead of humor. So I replaced some of that with a quip from later in the article, the purpose of the lede being to induce the reader to click and view the whole thing.
Having done an Audio for this, I added the {{InlineMedia}} template to the Front Page and to {{RecentUnNews}} to provide a link to it. I see the list of recent audios is gone from the Front Page; disappointing but appropriate, as the last time I checked, the list was entirely my stuff from 18 months ago, and I won't be doing Audios as regularly as before because of logistical problems. Spıke ¬ 11:31 31-Aug-12
- Yeah, some positively charged chocolatey coffee rodent decided to remove the recent audios when I insisted on the horoscopes going back up. I was advocating for two new sections in addition to the horoscopes to balance it all out, but he insisted audios was a dead department. In fact I did create a new section as a kind of proof of concept, but I ended up really liking it (TV Highlights) so I replaced the comics, which I felt were kind of played out. Maybe if you (or anyone else) are going to revive the audios, I'll go back to advocating for the three new sections, restoring audios and comics and maybe adding UnMagazine. Anyway - really great article. Impressive how you updid a rather dull one like that. Go get yourself a donut from the box in my office. -- 16:10, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
A couple users have wanted audios to be a dead department since the days when I was doing three a week. TV Highlights is fine, provided they are updated from time to time. The comics had been unmanned for years, were mostly about Richard Nixon, and their creator's taste always ran to the odd over the funny. Thanks for the donut. But that other guy always had Absinthe. Spıke ¬ 18:15 31-Aug-12
Lead Templates[edit source]
Heya there G-T, good hustle with the taking care of UnNews and stuff, but when you add the blurbs to the lead templates could you only include one or two sentences max instead of entire paragraphs? Leave a lil something to the imagination to hook them readers in, yo. --
22:21, September 4, 2012 (UTC)- I thought abut that today - but it's only because I had to look at it on a 19-inch monitor. I went woah. Too much, dude. -- 22:23, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Telling You Stuff You Already Knew, But With Different Words!
September 6th, 2012 • Issue 174 • When we were your age, this was all fields...
My "coming out"
Hey girlfriends! This week the UnSignpost puts the "Queen" in "Drama Queen" as it discusses the issues which are literally the bomb. The biggest bomb this week, besides how darling our UnSignpost correspondents look in their new outfits, is that Zombiebaron wants the wiki to improve, this means deleting most of it and playing trivia on IRC. The bigger news is that PoofyOnTheRadio also wants the wiki to improve, this means not playing trivia on IRC and sending editors out onto the internet in order to sell their bodies to Google in the hopes that this will increase traffic to the wiki. These squabbles are ultimately self-defeating, while we are arguing amongst ourselves whether or not we ought to change the beginner's guide into an 20 minute video and a fireworks display we still haven't managed to do anything. What we have decided is that articles can be deleted with less than +5 votes to delete and that RAHB is very good at trivia if nothing else. The other big news from weeks ago is that Mattsnow has stopped being in charge of UnNews after a period of however long it is he has been doing that. Shabidoo who loves to do "zany" stuff so he can get into the UnSignpost, has created an extra forum to ensure that absolutely nobody thanks Mattsnow and instead demonstrates just how hilarious they are. Congratulations to Zombiebaron who came out with the completely obvious joke before anyone else. Finally GlobalTourniquet, the new UnNews Quasar (by appointment of himself) is open to criticism... and penis, lol. VFHarassment
Remember the heady days of two weeks ago when we told you all to feel very bad because VFH didn't have enough nominations. Well forget that because now it does and we can move our sensationalist bandwagon elsewhere. Where better to send it than Pee review, currently known as the namespace that isn't a namespace that time forgot. Five reviews for the entire month of August demonstrates that nobody really seems particularly interested in assisting the review process. It might take a little while to do a Pee Review but there is a reason we have the space. It is of particular concern as we have a list of people who are supposed to be doing reviews at least once a month, myself included. Where are we? Who knows, but we certainly aren't perusing the list of articles awaiting review. Let's go over there! Let's bring Thekillerfroggy who can put a stern template at the top of the page and insist that this is hugely important to the wiki, guess what.... IT IS!!! Also there is likely to be a new VFS this month, bring on the voting, it makes everything better!
Why, again, are we counting to a million? Ever since 2008, Uncyclopedia has had a tradition of counting to a million. Started by Spang, this tradition has been going on for nearly five years. However, recently the question was asked relating to the value of the forum, with users complaining that it was "completely devoid of humor" and that it turns smart users into idiots. After mass protest (okay, not really) from the contributors of the thread and from someone else, said users commented on the forum saying that counting to a million is why so many articles supposedly suck nowadays and it's also why VFH is completely empty. It has also been stated that only idiots would do it. So now I'm attempting to answer it as quickly as I can: that's the point. We're idiots and we know that we're never going to make it to a million, but we want to see how close we can get anyway. So if you are the type of idiot that would write for Uncyclopedia, feel free to assist us in our count to one million, or close to. |

Yes[edit source]
You move it with the button atop the page, and in the "new title" box, you write: User:Joe9320/UnNews:NASA discovers Hot Dogs in Space Done! Don't fargett to tell the user in a nice way that it would need more work on his talk page though. :P Mattsnow 00:35, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

- Woops lol. well, it must be "user"... That wasn't there in the good ol' days. Mattsnow 04:19, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Well yeah that's what I did and it ended up like that. I guess I can fix it, but there will be a double redirect. I'm so cornfused. --
- Just take the redirect to qvfd lol. Mattsnow 21:57, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
- I think the function of the new and very helpful pulldown menu is to type the desired prefix for you. Your mistake was in also typing the prefix for yourself. My guess is that it will work if you do either one or the other; if you type
User:Joe9320/

I have absolutely have not give a damn about my article. So please, delete it. After a few days it becomes old. So next time, I'll do the whole stoner guy thing instead. 07:55, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
Datelines[edit source]
Mine hurts too. In the days before the UnNews Style Guide was made light, breezy, and useless, we used to specify that states of the US or provinces of Canada in UnNews datelines didn't need further clarification. Spıke ¬ 17:46 8-Sep-12
- That can work too. I don't care which way we go, I just want to strive for consistency and I think someone mentioned that because we are all global and whatnot, it should be there. Now that I think about it, it's obvious without the country the way you describe. But do we alienate or offend those odd people on that little island where they talk funny english over there in Europe by doing that? Does anyone care? -- 17:57, September 8, 2012 (UTC)
It is not only obvious without "USA," but you would not find any "legitimate" news outlet that found it necessary to specify where Tampa, Florida is, even to British readers. In addition, two years ago the Style Guide used to specify that carrying this joke further (Tampa, Florida, USA, North America, Earth, Solar System, Alpha Quadrant, Milky Way, Universe) was not to be done. I am all for consistency, and the best way to achieve it, and even get your correspondents to help, is to set it out in writing. Regarding insulting those quaint islanders, I wouldn't mind if the counties of England got the same concession; a dateline of "Reading, Berkshire" seems realistic to me if the story quickly clarifies for American dolts that it is about England. Spıke ¬ 11:30 9-Sep-12
Your horoscope[edit source]
Chief, I am sometimes guilty of advocacy, but yours here is independent of yucks. "This week you will finally realize that your beloved Tea Party was being duped all along by a pair of sneering rich brothers out to destroy the country for their own personal gain, and then pigs will fly out of my ass." This is Koch-brothers dog-whistle stuff. The assertion that involvement in politics (on the side other than yours) necessarily screws everyone else is debatable (only, the debate belongs somewhere else). And the suggestion that the reader will realize what is happening only when pigs fly out of your ass also insults him. I don't know and won't know what you intend to do with this horoscope, but I repeat my advice that you keep it light and even-handed in matters of politics, religions, and races. Spıke ¬ 00:38 22-Sep-12
- I have about 47 weeks of horoscopes written. That's 564 jokes, a large percentage of which I have gotten positive feedback about. Also, most of them insult the reader in one way or another. That one you point out is just one of many, and it's what it is. If you don't like it, there are literally hundreds others you can enjoy, the vast majority of which are completely apolitical. So I think perhaps I am not remiss in respectfully asking you to lighten up a bit about this problem you have with personal bias that you individually struggle to find funny. I can find a hundred people who do find that one hilarious, all of them angry liberals of course, and even probably a thousand if I go a step or two closer to Kevin Bacon. Please - this isn't your political forum. If something is funny to 40% of the people out there, I feel I have succeeded, even if it hurts some feelings or rubs some the wrong way. My plans for this and every other horoscope is by and large to try to be funny, and occasionaly I'll throw bones to my lefty brethren. But I even made skewering fun of Obama (Sagittarius) once when I despised his actions, and this is entirely appropriate. So please... lighten up. Thank you. -- 00:58, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
- And just for the record, I am fair and balanced - I will never ever ever tell you or anyone else not to satirize religion, politics or race, from any bias or angle. Certainly you must agree that Uncyclopedia is not only not a place for people sensitive to those things, but also is a place where a satirist can explore them freely. -- 01:01, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
- As Columbo said, "And one more thing" - you can't be "guilty" of something that is not a transgression. Two more things. "Independent of yucks" - I will quote you from The Dude: "That's just like, your opinion, man." -- 01:20, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
That's, like, all it is. Am not saying you can't write humor; just that that one was ladled on too thick for me. Cheers. Spıke ¬ 18:47 22-Sep-12
Can you teach me how to UnNews?[edit source]
Please. I would be happy if I found an article of a current event to satirize. Then I can move to Cracked.com. 11:25, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm afraid moving to Cracked.com is an aspiration I'm not qualified to assist with. I could help you improve your satire game to make it on Illogicopedia though if you want. --
- I'll take Illogicopedia. 11:47, September 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Joe, if you will look up the December 2010 version of UnNews:Style (before the start of the campaign to make the document "a little less fascist"), you'll see a variety of ways to convert current events into satire. Reading any wire story with that in mind should lead to a variety of entertaining angles. Spıke ¬ 17:18 23-Sep-12
- Sorry, I interpreted the "Then I can move to Cracked.com" comment to be indicating that he was being snarky and facetious. I may have been wrong. I could certainly help also. -- 05:27, September 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Everyone must move from here to somewhere--At least, lately they don't seem to be sticking around here. Rereading Joe's question, if what he's asking is where to find the straight articles to begin with, I like
myway.com
as an unobtrusive way to gain access to wire stories. Spıke ¬ 11:09 24-Sep-12

My leftie counterpart[edit source]
If you are really my leftie counterpart here, I have two favors to ask:
- On Uncyclopedia:VFH/UnNews:Riots spread across Arabia protesting American cinema--I nominated this recent UnNews of mine, after the previous nomination was featured, based on your praise of it on my talk page. But now Matt Lobster has a No vote which (if not just general snippiness) may be saying that this UnNews is an exact example of the apparent advocacy I've recently campaigned against in the Forum. Would you please re-read and see if you think he has a point? Regardless of what I believe, does it seem that I am primarily putting down the Administration rather than primarily having fun? I thought it was sufficiently light-hearted, but parts of it I have now heard from several conservative "funny men" who were not interested in using it to get laughs.
- On my new Talk radio, could you suggest a few additional directions in which to take it? Spıke ¬ 16:08 24-Sep-12
- I'll have a second look in a bit, but as you might have known, my first reaction to your statement is, if you are primarily putting down the administration, then as long as it's funny, I have no problem with it. Having fun is not more important than making fun of something you find ridiulous, even in anger or frustration. It's healthy. But I know that you feel differently and I respect that, so I'll give you an honest opinion. Your satire is really excellent and my yes vote is purely based on that - if he is voting you down for the reason you state then his vote should be discounted in a perfect world - VFH votes should obviously never be personal outside of personal taste for humor. -- 18:26, September 24, 2012 (UTC)
Mmm, yes, this may be difficult, as you have not just a different political view but a different humor threshold. I had great fun writing that UnNews, but the key in my mind (especially on VFH) is whether the reader will have fun reading it. Part of it reads a lot like a witty Limbaugh monologue, but part of it is really about F Troop and Pollyanna, like Hillary's view of "first aid"--and Romney is there as just as big a dufus. At any rate, I'll welcome a second opinion. Spıke ¬ 19:56 24-Sep-12
- OK well, regarding your question about the article, I reread it carefully with that consideration, and I can see how someone might feel the way you fear Matt Lobster is, but I don't know - they would really have to be overly sensitive about it in my view. His comment on the vote is cryptic to me - did you discuss this with him, or are you just concerned he might be thinking that? Anyway, by making sure you appear to be actual news you generally do a good job avoiding that type of author character in most of your articles. However in this piece, there is a bit of a sense of an author-character bias. There are a number of instances where the same joke can be told using a more neutral point of view simply by changing the language to attribute rather than state. When The Onion is looking to present this, I find that there are attributive statements to tell their jokes as opposed to faux-factual statements.
- Here's a good example I think regarding this concern: "At least one of these assertions is a blatant lie" as opposed to "At least one of these assertions has been identified by observers as a blatant lie" - it's simple things like that; the passive voice exonerates your author. Of course "Secretary of Snake" and "Ben-Gay or Benghazi or..." unattributed to Romney and in fact almost attributed to the writer (?) also doesn't help the NPOV effort. I love this joke: "which Libyan peasants carry at all times" - and I would not change it. But it is another example of something that makes the writer the joke teller - an NPOV version of this would be "which Libyan peasants reportedly carry at all times". That said, I think the way you tell it is funnier. This is a great example of what I mean that I think you are striving for. I scoured this article and could not find one joke told via a faux-factual statement (in other words, a charged biased statement by the author character). All of the jokes are in comments attributed to the candidate, I don't think there is a single instance there of the author character being snarky. And it's a great way to get the jokes told. If you really want to strive for this ideal, I think looking at where the author character is telling the joke - is the one being snarky - I think this is a key thing here, and might assuage your sense of guilt about (of course I mean exonerate you from the charge of) blatant advocacy. Two cents. -- 22:18, September 24, 2012 (UTC)
Well, thank you, and the best bit of advice here is to go to the Horse's Mouth, as I have not done; I'll now go to Matt Lobster and ask him to come here and comment. I do usually strive to make the narrator seem neutral, and failed in a couple respects here, but as you note, it was fun doing so. Spıke ¬ 22:56 24-Sep-12
PS--Did that, but following a conversation about what it means that he has emptied out his user page. It's usually not a good sign. Spıke ¬ 23:10 24-Sep-12
- OK I am a dumb cluck. I get it now. But then again I am a libtard, so what can you expect? I just realized what you are saying the cryptic message means. Duh. Sometimes I am slow - in fact that's why I took the bold initiative to interpret Joe's comment above as jest - I didn't want to risk missing the joke. Anyhoo, by "Did I pass?", he obviously meant he was making the bold assumption that your article is a test to see if we all got your drift about the advocacy problem and would appropriately vote against it! Hahahaha! Duh. Wow - well, I've just been through a house fire followed by whole-family-living-in-a-hotel over here, so I'll ecxcuse my dumb cluckness this time. I think you are right. --
- Oh yeah, and I'll try to read Talk radio carefully tonight. I skimmed it, and it does look like it could use a punch-up here or there. -- 00:48, September 25, 2012 (UTC)

Matt lobster replies[edit source]
Spike, I've only just caught up with your Biden UnNews. This is rare genius and was deservedly featured. Even though as a piece of work it clearly makes a political point, the narrator still maintains the illusion of impartiality. This new UnNews does not (in my opinion) have a narrator that appears impartial. It just reads a little bit like a rant. I thought it may be a deliberate attempt to provoke after the political advocacy forum you created. mAttlobster. (hello) 12:05, September 25, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your praise and reply. I do not indeed nominate to provoke or to "test" voters. (Such gaming of the Uncyclopedia infrastructure got you a short ban in the Mordillo days.) But if that is how it reads to you, then your vote is justified.
- I can see three political wisecracks that I snuck into the story (regarding the US being an "honest broker," hinting at Obama's years-ago "acted stupidly" remark about the Cambridge police, and regarding Obama's stay at Columbia). They were so out-of-character for the newsman that I omitted them from the UnNews Audio and have now deleted them from the text. And I'll put quotes around the Ben-Gay stuff as this was always intended to be a bumbling Romney quote. "Secretary of Snake" did make it into the Audio, but it could have been the narrator's ineptitude. (I also had him state the date as "twenty oh twelve," reprising a joke from Walt Kelly in Pogo.) I'll undo this in the text.
- I'll leave the assertions that Arab youths always carry English signage and that the movie tells a "blatant lie" about Muhammad. The change GT suggests above would burden the reader with more complicated sentences, solely to let me pat myself on the back for being perfectly unbiased. But perfect neutrality is not my goal. That the article should not "read...like a rant," is. Or at least should not start out like a rant; sometimes it's fun when an article degenerates.
- Neutrality is not an orthodoxy of mine either. In the past, I've read an AP wire that sounded so in-the-tank for Obama that I've written UnNewses that tie themselves in knots with spin. As the newsman usually gets the facts woefully wrong, he is allowed to get his entire profession wrong too. GT, I do not have a single "right" way to write an UnNews, but my assumption is that our reader is a reader of the real news, and on the Front Page and at the start of articles, we should meet him on his grounds--before we start to play with his head. Spıke ¬ 12:46, 12:59 25-Sep-12
- That's a good approach - I like it a lot. I also like the Jon Stewart approach. I also like the Stephen Colbert approach. But then I also like the Norm MacDonald approach, which leaves me without peer it seems. -- 14:25, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
Eugene Ionesco[edit source]
Afraid I don't know enough to tell whether this is a good article. But it is clearly good work.
Also, I read your notice to "reporters" in the Forum. You might be better for the job than I was. I would not have bounced an UnNews that, for instance, ridiculed a politician I sympathize with; but I encountered and opposed a few that struck me as pure advocacy rather than humor, referring again to my recent sermon in the Forum. And there was a notorious article on the Wisconsin impasse a couple years ago whose take was that everyone is acting like kindergarteners; I found that woefully inadequate compared to playing on the excesses being committed by both sides. I set to edit it, committing the sin you describe of substituting my jokes for someone else's. On the other hand, this comment of yours suggests a model under which the author owns an UnNews. I like that model, as there are pages here over which I act as owner, but you may be setting yourself up for endless grief.
A point you neglect is that the threshold depends on the author. There was an era where Funnybony would drop an article a day into UnNews, some of them merely mechanical transformations, Russian Reversals, of the actual news. On those occasions where I saw new segues and links, I savaged his stuff and he enjoyed being part owner of the result.
My biggest problem was articles that amused the author by pranking the Front Page without being amusing. I wanted the Front Page to read like real news, until one reads it. Froggy's perennial thesis that we must provoke, I view as self-amusement rather than entertainment of the reader. No problem with a page that does both. Spıke ¬ 20:39 28-Sep-12
- Yeah the Ionesco piece may be a little too obscure, but my hope is at least anyone who knows his plays would enjoy it. I said as much on its talk page. I just feel like it's OK for it to sit in its little corner and be there if anyone cares.
- As for the little manifesto - I would never say one of us is better for the job. Any time there is a change at the top of something, that thing will take on a new personality. I feel that as long as the approach is sound - a somewhat vague term I'll admit - one UnNews chief is only better than another for how much better he or she maintains standards of excellence within that approach. I am planning on being the best UnNews chief ever, so only if that happens will I accept the notion that I am better for the job than you were. It's good to try something a little different though. I think Zim was the chief for most of the time I was writing UnNews before I left for a year or so, and I was weaned on his standards - that may be part of my make-up here. I think I may have missed your tenure, but I'm sure - and in fact I have heard - that you "maintain[ed] standards of excellence" within your approach with great aplomb. And aplombs are rare.
- The model I hope to implement is a combination - generally each author is the sole (or at least main) owner of his or her UnNews, while I take full responsibility for the overall quality of the place. But endless grief - I hear you there. Fortunately it's a bit quiet here these days. That quietude has two sides of course - we are probably as deprived of genius as we are spared from riff-raff for the moment. I have user-spaced I think three articles, with near-pee-review commentary on the authors' talk pages, only to be greeted by crickets (or otherwise lack of passion for the sacred task of UnNews journalism). So yeah. Endless grief may be rearing its ugly head at me as I type. -- 21:05, September 28, 2012 (UTC)

Hey! Just wanted to let you know it wasn't trolling... and the insults are not directed to actually anyone. I made it all up.[edit source]

UnNews:Prof sues law school for bias against conservatives[edit source]
I appreciate your effusive praise of me in nominating this. (I threw {{VFH}} on the item itself.) I would conclude that you like my work--but you also gave an attaboy to 1rageagainstme2 for his, um, contribution, so it probably means you are simply doing what a very good UnNews Chief does. Cheers! Spıke ¬ 21:13 15-Oct-12
- I'm such a good chief, in fact, that my main concern in writing what I did to him was that it would come across condescending instead of the encouragement to improve that I hope it will be. If you have not, check my note to him/her on his/her talk page - I hope I gave it to the writer straight without mincing words about the article's lack of quality, but also without insulting or discouraging. I actually think there may be potential here if we can up the funny and fix the style. Maybe. --
- You know, Spike, I just re-read your note there just now and got a clearer picture of the gist of it. Sometimes I'm a little slow. Anyway, I wanted to point out to you that this article is the only UnNews article I have ever VFH'd. That ought to indicate something to you regardless of what I might say to someone whose work enjoys less brilliance in my capacity as very good UnNews chief. Your satire is top notch. You remain one of UnNews's great assets. Period. -- 18:35, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
21:20, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
Please don't read anything more in that message than there is; I do appreciate your praise and regard it as one aspect of good management, and of course you should give encouragement to others as well. In fact, your concern about how everything seems (to him and to me) is another aspect of good management. To him, having given an attaboy on an otherwise scathing nomination, seeming condescending is a slight risk. Spıke ¬ 20:24 18-Oct-12
PS on old business: I'm satisfied on what Talk radio has become, but it has a gaping lack of photos after the start. Shoop-o-potamus Zombiebaron did not reply to a request. Complete shoops or mere suggestions are welcome. Spıke ¬ 20:26 18-Oct-12
- Oh my bad. I completely forgot about the Talk Radio request. I'll tie a string around my finger about it. -- 21:47, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
Proofreading UnNews[edit source]
Thanks for tweaking today's UnNews. I followed Strunk & White and put the comma (also periods) inside quotes because it looks better. (Wikipedia says to put them inside or outside depending on whether they belong in the thing quoted.) (Incidentally, on italics ending with punctuation, the punctuation must be italic or it drifts apart from the text.) More uncommonly, I capitalize after a colon if and only if the thing after the colon is a complete sentence in its own right; the capital letter is a parsing key for the reader. Spıke ¬ 15:42 19-Oct-12
- In my little manifesto I decreed that we will use the British standard for punctuation with quotes. Why? Because we need to pick a standard and that's the one that looks best and makes the most sense to me. Regarding the capitalization after the colon thing - yeah, it is in dispute. Let's look at it across different respected manuals of style and we'll pick a standard that is generally newspaper standardy, if there is one. My feeling is only capitalize if it's a quote (though we don't generally introduce quotes with colons unless there's a separate justification for the colon, like the preceding clause is explicitly introductory of the quoted concept), or if there are more than one complete sentences following. Anyway, we'll talk about it and agree on a standard. Then I'll add it to the manifesto. I also generally favor italicizing punctuation after italics. Nice article, though. What an interesting, absurd scenario to be so truly defensible. -- 16:07, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
PS--If you elect to feature my UnNews:Windows 8 baffles users; but, screw 'em! (on the Front Page and/or in {{RecentUnNews}}, note that there is an Audio and please cite it with {{InlineMedia}} as I've done nearby. This Audio does not have the same name as its UnNews, because of all those squiggly marks, but is named simply File:UnNews--Windows 8 baffles users.mp3. Spıke ¬ 16:34 21-Oct-12
- Spike, I'm swamped at the moment. If you like you can take care of that for me. If not I can get to it later tonight. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, you always have leave to add your own articles to the recent template any time you want to if I'm delayed for any reason. Largely because you rock and that. -- 19:29, October 22, 2012 (UTC)
There is no rush and no compelling reason for me to do your job for you. In fact, I "beta-tested" the Windows 8 story on a companion during yesterday's NFL game and he complained that it was too much like real news. (Namely, jokes not packed densely enough.) So I have condensed the UnNews and even re-cut the Audio. Spıke ¬ 19:50 22-Oct-12
PS--Now I have partly reverted you on this UnNews. Fixing my dangling participle regarding Star Trek versus the experts was a good catch. However, on one other point, where you reference back to this discussion, you're just wrong:
- You punctuate this way (when the thing in parens isn't a complete sentence).
- Now you do it this way. (Because now it is.)
I have never read anything anywhere to the contrary. On the other points of grammar I raised above: I readily yield to you on lowercase-after-colon, as I don't even agree it is in dispute; I know of no other writer who does it my way. And I don't mind doing some things British, if a Brit is going to take on the editing job. (If you aren't British, doing so is perverse.) Spıke ¬ 17:05 23-Oct-12
- Ignoring for the moment that "because now it is" is not a complete sentence ( :) ), I am aware that it is grammatically acceptable to form a parenthetical complete sentence. You may also do it the way I changed it, also perfectly grammatically acceptable. It is, in my view, almost always possible to reword so as to avoid the situation, and maybe I could have presented my case by a more substantial rewording. It's just that I personally hate seeing it except where really necessary - I find it clumsy and distracting. But I accept your preference. As for the British standard for quote punctuation, one, when I get through it will be the American standard, and two, it is already changing here - you will find many American publications using that standard. Maybe even most by now. It is "perverse", and a stupid affectation, to use the words "colour" or "theatre". But this standard is having its way here and I think it's because it's really more sensible. Love the article (as usual), by the way. -- 18:48, October 23, 2012 (UTC)
Earth Demon[edit source]
You may be right about the quotations, I don't like writing that way though as I feel the quotes are all part of one sentence, regardless the contents. However, as for the earth demon, it is intended to be a trait of the demon; a demon that causes earth-related disaster (earthquakes). This is one of the references to fantasy games (the point in that, of course, being how ridiculous the true story is). Also, the article mentions them twice, but you only changed the first instance, making it inconsistent.
◄► UnUnUn ium ◄► 23:45, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Then earth demon it is, per your clarification. Obviously I would have changed the second one to be capitalized too if I had seen it later, but of course now I won't. -- 23:49, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, and if I failed to mention - amusing article. I liked it. I was considering how to satirize that absurd situation a bit earlier myself, but this is a really good concept and execution. Nice work. --
- Well I am glad you think so, as it is my first UnNews piece. I have little free time for Uncyclopedia these days, so I may start doing more UnNews bits as they take much less time.

I took one hell of a break[edit source]
I was pretty busy, but now I think I'll edit a little more often. How's it going with the UnNews thing? You seem to be doing really fine! :) The only thing that jumped out was how long of the article you put on the UnNews pages, almost in their entirety! But I digress, you're in charge lol. Any questions? Did people criticize anything? I'd sure be on your side. Maybe I'll get around to writing soon. Mattsnow 02:45, October 31, 2012 (UTC)
- That was nowhere near a hell of a break - that was wimpy. I was inactive for about a year and a half. Come talk to me about hell when you top that, my friend. Oh yeah, and I've cut those UnNews page articles waaay down from when I was first doing it. You should have seen some of those. I'm learning. Anyway, it's not bad. It's just thankless enough to keep me bitter and angry about it, so that part is good. They say haters are going to hate, but no one has hated without cause and we've managed the few little issues with consideration and care for quality as job one, I think. So, rage quit doesn't look to be fewer than four or five "earth" vs. "Earth" arguments away, so I'm good for now. I do appreciate the care though, that's very sweet. Thanks. -- 15:41, October 31, 2012 (UTC)

Would you like me to ask you if an article's nom worthy before I nom it? Until I work up humor?--General of All Branches of the Military and the Head of the State Police Eric (talk) 23:31, November 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Wow. This reaction is encouraging. If ED were more suited for you - as I perhaps hastily concluded - then your reaction would have been more immaturely defensive. OK. So clearly your desire to succeed here is strong, because this approach you've chosen in reaction to my nom comment shows a great combination of humbleness and balls. If anything will, that will be a huge factor in your success here. But my answer to your question is, certainly not - that would violate the spirit of the community. I would steer you a different direction altogether for now, away from VFH. I wish Pee Review were active like it used to be, that would be your very best avenue to understanding the nature of the humor ideals here. But for now how about instead of focusing on VFH nominations, you focus on writing an article and getting feedback. Is there an article you're working on where I can maybe give you feedback about how to bend the writing more toward Uncyclopedia style humor? -- 23:45, November 1, 2012 (UTC)

- Kamek, have you pored through UN:HTBFANJS yet? You see, what this is is a fake encyclopedia. And, while there are many approaches to writing an article--especially in the different spaces such as HowTo:--the usual one is to write a page that looks exactly like a Wikipedia page...until...the reader starts reading and realizes that it's pure crap! Now, on your projects: No one is going to look up the encyclopedia page on "Ancient Aliens"; that's sort of a slogan, or a case where the title is the punch line and the reader already has to know the joke. Guinness Book of Lame Records: Okay, that could exist, but again, the reader is not going to come looking for it. Samurai Warriors: Okay, that's a video game (I'll take your word for it). That one is very unfinished. The other two strike me as not fitting the "encyclopedia" gag, nor any other. The author is intoxicated with being on stage, in a forum where he can jive to strangers about not giving two shits. It might help if we turned it around and you told me what your plan is for getting the reader to laugh.
- I am perhaps more annoyed at excessive swearing than most other Uncyclopedians. The reason is that it breaks the encylopedia gag too quickly. I didn't swear at all in the title of UnNews:Windows 8 baffles users; but, screw 'em! though it discloses the theme of the article. I don't swear at all in the UnNews--until "whereas actual customers generally just wish they could find the God-damned things." The page has been very dry, but this outburst is like a boring teacher suddenly slapping you on the cheek. Spıke ¬ 00:31 2-Nov-12
Ancient Aliens[edit source]
For Ancient Aliens I wanted to base it on the TV show and meme of Ancient Aliens, look up an episode its quite easy material for an uncyclopedia page. For the Lame Records I wanted to get out the point of most of actual book's records are quite stupid and no one cares in a sarcastic kind of way. Samurai Warriors is a video game based off from Warring States Japan and is a spinoff of Dynasty Warriors, a spinoff of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms video games which are based from the books. I wanted to make it a samurai view point, like as if the samurai saw like a pissed off DW fan's original creation and edited it to make it look like a non-ripoff. (Actually isn't, its a spinoff) The strikes are basically the edits.--General of All Branches of the Military and the Head of the State Police Eric (talk) 00:33, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
Yes I've pored through the UN:HTBFANJS--General of All Branches of the Military and the Head of the State Police Eric (talk) 00:43, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
- On Ancient Aliens: Sorry, my ignorance. Am reading Wikipedia right now (ah, so that's who Tsoukalos is!). More to follow. Spıke ¬ 00:45 2-Nov-12
I love Ancient Aliens and some of it is convincing. That's why I wanted to start this.--General of All Branches of the Military and the Head of the State Police Eric (talk) 00:48, November 2, 2012 (UTC)
- OK, I get it now. Well, tells a joke by beating it into the ground. Too many quotes (two entire groups of them! and Captain Obvious is almost always unwelcome), too many See also's. The first-person thing needs to be done with extreme care. So basically Tsoukalos is simply a con artist, and you have him giving a speech. Only, when he goes, "So therefore, shut up and believe me!" at the end of the first section, why read further? In my opinion, what you ought to do (to justify an article-length article) is to have it start out almost believable, and gradually toward the end have him get dumber and dumber, until he makes it clear that "aliens" is his answer to pretty much anything.

- Done. Just like that. Start slow and get crazier. By the way, that's way more illustrations than a usual article has--they push each other out of position, on my screen--and they are all the same joke (and most of them are the same illustration) (about which, that guy has the ugliest hairdo since Vir Cotto on Babylon 5).

Talk radio bis[edit source]
I reply to you on my talk page on your handling of the red-link for Air America in Talk radio, but then made unrelated changes, so you might never see it. In summary, using a pipe-link to surreptitiously translate it to tumbleweeds is funny, but so was the red-link, which implied that Air America is such a financial failure as to not even have an Uncyclopedia entry; I have enhanced the See Also section with such a red-link, so my talk page challenges you to achieve your beloved consistency, or let it stand, as you wish. I also tweaked your illustrations, though I am still grateful for them. Spıke ¬ 23:23 3-Nov-12

Nov 20rd, 2012 • Issue 175 • The edition that's black and white and dead all over
We are all doomed, and it's Wikia's fault
It's been a quiet four months at Uncyclopedia, our hometown, out here on the edge of the prairie, and it's not just because Wikia have murdered everyone and are currently bathing in golden tubs filled with their blood. It seems Uncyclopedia has lost more users than John Travolta has lost gerbils up his own butt[citation needed], but fear not, Uncyclopedians-who-have-been-here-less-than-one-month! Long-time wunderkind and beloved administrator Frosty (sorry, are we laying it on too thickly?) has a plan to save us, and it involves... getting himself run over by a car. Ha ha! Actually, he posted a forum topic, accompanied by a vote, because that's what Uncyclopedians do in times of crisis, and it always works. Forum:Petitions to make all our users that quit comeback attempts to galvanize Uncyclopedia's remaining users to action by reminding them that we used to have members, Oh! so many members! Most of whom were better than us! Please sign a petition asking them back—sign, you ungrateful todgers, like your lives depend on it—and then email them all on the 14th! In theory, the people receiving said emails will return to Uncyclopedia with smiles on their faces and bliss in their hearts. In practice, however, the plan has been difficult to implement. And by "difficult", we mean "slightly impossible". A frustrated user has narrowed the plan's failure to three causes:
As it turns out, Wikia has limited the number of emails users can send to each other to ONE PER BLOODY DAY, rendering Frosty's scheme to bury our departed users under an avalanche of spam all for naught. As of Monday, November 19, exactly two departed users have been persuaded to return by the campaign, and nobody likes Kakun or Oliphaunte anyway, because they are useless puddles of suckage. It's just as well; most current Uncyclopedians are slightly too drunk to notice that putting a running chainsaw against one's neck is a bad idea, much less understand what the petition is all about. At any rate, if you haven't accidentally decapitated yourself with a chainsaw, do have a look at that forum, and if necessary, make yourself one or two (or forty) sockpuppets, just to spam those long-departed users of ours. The Cabal Wills It.* *(Note: There Is No Cabal) Frosty is dead.
No, you read that wrong, he is just dead inside. Earlier this month, Frosty nearly had the shit murdered out of him by a car. Luckily, as Frosty is a typical Australian teenager, he was protected from serious harm by his protein-based exoskeleton and his thick layer of poisonous, mucosal warts. The car is expected to recover in time for the rematch; in an interview with our correspondent, the car shouted numerous dark threats while leaping onto a turnbuckle and shredding its T-shirt. In the interim, Frosty has been resting comfortably with the aid of codeine, alcohol, and oral favors from the Asian transsexuals arrayed at his feet. "I find Uncyclopedia no longer holds the same draw for me as it did before," said Frosty, "especially since I've been getting oral favours from these Asian transsexuals arrayed at my feet." So weep, all ye who read this, for Frosty has joined the ranks of the undead, despised by God and abhorred by the God-fearing. On the upside: he can now appreciate those movies about sparkly vampires. On the downside: he wants our blood. RUN! Return of the Prodigal Son
Hearts and minds were filled with joy last month by the tentative return of beloved Uncyclopedian Bizzeebeever, who became scarce in July, leaving behind a terse apology for "having no money for Internetting". Current Uncyclopedia ghost Lyritha was heard to say "Buckets, remind me who that is, again..." before floating away down a corridor, moaning and rattling chains. Or rather, she would have, if ghosts were real, and if we'd asked her. Bizzeebeever's return is said to augur good tidings for the wiki, even though his current contributions consist of pointless pot-shots at Wikia, and short, pithy remarks left on talk pages, such as "fuck you, I hope you are dead", and "please disregard the previous comment, my penis was caught in a pencil sharpener". He also lurks for hours on IRC, talking and playing UnTrivia by himself. It will surprise no one at all that Bizzeebeever is now the person most accomplished at playing with himself; when we asked Zombiebaron about Bizzeebeever's remarkable dominance of a game that no one else plays, he was heard to remark "Zombiebaron", which our interpreters took to mean "Can someone please ban that guy? I am too lazy to do it myself." We at the Unsignpost do hope that Bizzeebeever holds on to his current position as Head of Quality Assurance at the dildo factory, for we have missed his hilarious forum posts almost as much as we missed his habit of talking himself up in the Unsignpost ...and his limpid blue eyes ...and his silky-soft golden locks ...and the charmingly-gnarled 40 kg tumor jutting from his neck—you know the one, it resembles the offspring of a blood tangerine and a baboon, and contains both hair and teeth...? (That might be his head; we're not sure.) Anyway, yes, we all love Bizzeebeever, and we hope he stays "returned", at least until the judge decides whether to hold him indefinitely, or just chemically castrate him, for the safety of the public. Return of the OTHER Prodigal Son
This past week, another intermittent Uncyclopedia member (and full-time Mensch-in-Chief), TKF, returned to swear at SPIKE; delete articles which had even votes on VFD; ban people; feature an article with one "For" vote, one "Against" vote, and one comment on VFH; and be a generally hilarious excuse for an administrator.

The Newspaper That Replaces Analysis With Flashy Graphics!
Nov 27, 2012 • Issue 176 • I scream, you scream, we all scream...for painful orgasms
No, Uncyclopedia has not gotten religion; it's still full of degenerates, wang vandals, and that scourge of gay men everywhere: uncensored images of boobies. However, it has seen a recent influx of old and new users, most of whom apparently never got the memo about how Uncyclopedia sucks, or how Uncyclopedia is dying, or how Uncyclopedia will be contagious for another six weeks before the amoxicillin starts working. Returning recently like a scorching case of gonorrhea were Meganew (!), Socky, NoNamesLeft (to the everlasting delight of Frosty), and Master of Menageries Comicat1, who took a six-month sabbatical to invent preposterous new animals on the Serengeti. New users include Sinner George, MagicBus, Leverage, Fakehater and Kamek98, who have all taken to editing like ducks take to water—of course proving that they are all sockpuppets of someone, for which they will all be perm-banned, just as soon as Frosty can figure out who. Lastly but not leastly, we celebrate the arrival of the ridiculously competent Murder Frog, who brings expertise on influential musicians of the last century, but, more importantly, has the most awesome name since the Universe itself birthed Captain Machinegun Thunderpants Fuckmaster on a pile of slaughtered tigers. The UnSignpost welcomes them, one and all, and hopes that their tranquilizers don't wear off while they still remember how to leave. Obituary for a friend
Thanksgiving came and went on Uncyclopedia this past week, and while the rest of the world was busy cracking jokes about how Americans really don't need to throw a holiday as an excuse for eating, a certain Uncyclopedia tradition was busy getting beaten, raped, and left for dead in the compost-bin of memory. Yes, we were referring to the Aristocrat's Turkey Day Ball; how did you know? For those of you who don't remember, or don't want to remember (we assume that's all of you), the Aristocrat's Turkey Day Ball was the once-mighty celebration of sex-, torture- and scat-based humor so debauched and vile that it would shame a London dockside whore, and not a fresh young one, either—one that had been "fucked around the fleet". Sadly, no one even remembered the damn thing until two days before Thanksgiving, and when Uncyclopedia's favorite whipping boy brought up the subject in a forum, he was met by a silence so vast that we assume he fell into it, because we haven't seen him since. Being Kip, though, he'll probably pop back up through a sewer grate somewhere. Swim hard, Kip. The ATDB left no survivors; its limp corpse will be thoroughly sexually abused, its intestines torn apart and worn around necks like Christmas garland, and its remains will be fed to a freshly no-legged midget with a massive dildo rammed up his butt. Damn you, Mhaille and Zombiebaron, you lazy useless fucks. Esoteric bullshit
A certain faithful UnSignpost reader recently noted via electronic signal that the UnSignpost's last edition was both "spam" and "esoteric bullshit". We Here At the UnSignpost™ were, to be frank, shocked and dismayed by this statement, for it was never our intent to be anything but the most outrageously stupid, inane, crass, vulgar, rude, boorish, inbred, brain-dead, emotionally-stunted, anti-literate, fucked-up and all-around retarded puddle of gassy splooge east or west of the Mississippi—or any river, for that matter. In this endeavor, however, it seems we have failed. Yes, someone has beat us to it, and by a wide margin, for he is the undisputed champion of such sculduddery. So we offer up our most heartfelt apology to that reader, who shall remain nameless (it was Hotadmin4u69), and we humbly admit that we stand in awe of his ability to pick the gayest user name possible, not once, but twice. However, while we wish him the best of luck in disentangling his dental retainer from his own scrotum, we would like to remind him of the famous adage, Never quarrel with a man who buys ink by the barrel. |

Journalism so yellow it's orange: The UnSignpost[edit source]
May contain traces of humor!
Dec 6th, 2012 • Issue 177 • OH GOD RUN! IT HAS GENITALS, AND IT IS IN SEARCH OF A MATE!
A headline goes here! No, really!
Well, it's that time of the month when you realize you've wasted another 30 days in the company of Uncyclopedians, and your wife or girlfriend metamorphoses into a giant man-eating banana and rampages through Kuala Lumpur while screaming about "cramps". But cheer up, Mister Cratchit! Eet's Christmas toime! Yes, time to purchase meaningless junk for people you hate, give freely to homeless assholes who are too lazy to work for their own money, and get drunk with other people you hate, because the economy is in the shitter, and if you ain't buying, you're with the terrorists! And now that I've reminded you of your long-lost Christmas spirit, it's time to remind you of something we like to call "VFS"! Yes, VFS is upon us again, and with it come several calls to op some twit named "Bizzeebeever". We Here At The UnSignpost™ can't think of anything that would benefit the wiki less, unless it was feeding live badgers through a blender inside Wikia's datacenter, or perhaps marking the words "UNCYCLOPEDIA HATES JIMBO" onto a large paper bag, filling it with our own feces, lighting it afire, and dropping it through an open window at the headquarters of the Wikimedia Foundation. Or perhaps renting a hot-air balloon and filling its ballast tanks with liquid sewage and flying over the house of one James Q. Wales, Esq. Or perhaps sacrificing virgins on a beach under a full moon, nude, while blasting Slayer from massive speakers while a Coast Guard boat rakes the sand with machine-gun fire...um, where were we again? Ah, yes! The idiots over at VFS are on about something. You should go vote "no".
This week, MAJOR NEWS happened, and as usual, our correspondents were on it quicker than Kirstie Alley on a meat sandwich, or a meat pie, or anything made of meat, really. We are happy to report that longtime useless slacker and IRC lurker RAHB checked out a book from a local library! (Please suppress your exclamations of shock and dismay, folks; the neighbors are still complaining about the Coast Guard-assisted virgin sacrifice). When we inquired about RAHB's first foray into intellectual enrichment since his early childhood, he summarized it as follows:
Stay tuned for next week, folks, when Zombiebaron Hears a Who! Same Bat-Channel, same Bat-Time!
The last two editions of the UnSignpost, which were the first editions published since the last editor came down with a case of exploding lung-weasels and threw himself off a cliff, contained 150% more fucking swear-words and 6000% more hyperventillating about things which are going to kill us all (such as Wikia, you knew it was going to be Wikia, because fuck Wikia). However, most of the 700 complaints we've received in the last two weeks (all of which were from Hotadmin4u69, and 699 of which included candid shots of his genitals[1]) concerned the lack of the UnSignpost dog, who we cheerfully claimed had been murdered and turned into soup. (If you hadn't noticed, go back and check. We'll wait.) This, of course, was an outrageous and unforgivable ploy on our parts to get your attention, and we apologize for it profusely; we promise never again to threaten or even joke about violence against dogs, especially since the SPCA's hired thugs know where we live. So here you are, folks: this week's edition of this glorious rag will go back to the usual tradition of featuring a charming dog who is in no peril at all: Oops.

Sloppy, falling-apart, and duct-taped-together: the UnSignpost![edit source]
The Self-Proclaimed Greatest Periodical Of All Time!
Dec 12th, 2012 • Issue 178 • Only wild horses can tear me apart.
I was asked to write a guest editorial, so let's get this over with. In the spirit of the Christmas and/or Holiday Season, I would like to offer an olive branch of peace. We could all use a little more peace around here. Well, not here, per se, because drama is always welcome amusement for me. More so than in places like the Middle East—the Middle East needs to calm the fuck down and Uncyclopedia needs to be more like the Middle East is what I'm trying to say. Still, drama isn't always amusing. For example, I won't be on the front page next month (I mean, if (point for humility) I win an award) because someone is having a pissy-fit over some bollocks and removed the awards from the front page. In this particular case, we need to pee on the fire, rather than fan the flames. The conflict I'm referring to is between two celebrated users, Thekillerfroggy and SPIKE. The root of this tension stems from the fact that TKF thinks SPIKE is the worst person ever and should leave this site, or at least stop sucking his own dick. Basically, SPIKE is to TKF what Toby is to Michael on The Office. Particularly if there were a British equivalent to Toby. God, that's a good show. Or was. It really blows now. Let me just say that you both have your faults. TKF: You need to stop being a dick, even when it is more hilarious than when it isn't. You appear to be in a drunken rage. I realize it's Hanukkah, but you should really tone it down on the whine. And SPIKE: Well, I just think you're a textbook case of someone who needs to masturbate more. I suggest you start December 25th, when you're having a less-than-sufficient amount of fun reading my holiday-themed articles. Despite these differences, you both have one thing in common: You're Uncyclopedians. And the essence of being an Uncyclopedian is appreciating the art of Comedy. When the world is at its darkest, we rely on the light of humor, parody and satire. Some have said that Uncyclopedia is at its darkest point right now, that our brightest days are far behind. Yet if the annual winter solstice teaches us anything, it's that the brightest days always follow the darkest nights. Or some sugary moral message like that. I mostly just wanted to drop a few horrible puns and get away with insulting you both all over the site. Merry Christmas! Today's date is significant!
Because Joey Numbers has his first feature, Wikia are censoring cocks, and it's 12/12/12. That's why, bitches. Uncyclopedia and social nutworking! Do you have a lame sense of humor that is best expressed in 140 characters or less? Do you enjoy ruining the mojo of entire websites? Do you have a tiny penis, or none at all? Then have we got news for you! Those of you who wish to do a better job of misrepresenting Uncyclopedia on all the popular social platforms, including YouBoob, Twatter, Facebutt, StubbleUpon, Porntrest, Cumblr, Spreddit, and all the others, are hereby invited to hit up Hotadmin4u69's talk page, and to do it forthwith, post-haste. Why? Because Hotadmin4u69 runs Uncyclopedia's social networking presenceses...es, all by his lonesome—or at least he did...until now. But he's NOT GONNA TAKE IT, HE'S NOT GONNA TAKE IT, HE'S NOT GONNA TAKE IT, ANYMOOOOOOOOOOOAH! No, seriously, he's going to quit the wiki entirely (as if he hasn't already) if people don't lend him a hand. He loves you all, but you all suck, and it's a thankless task—almost as thankless as writing and delivering this drivel every week. |

Apocalypse postponed until after NFL playoffs
This week, it was publicly confirmed for the first time that the on-again-off-again Apocalypse has been postponed indefinitely, due to an accumulation of frozen water in and about the subterranean headquarters of Heck, Incorporated. Yes, it appears that Uncyclopedia's dwindling community of degenerates and failed comedy writers (which is literally the same thing, but never mind), having suffered far too long under the Wikian lash of nipple-and-dick censorship, have finally gotten their shit together[citation needed], and are making a move to new hosting. News of the move came in Uncyclopedia's Village Dump, as part of a nonchalant post by Lyrithya, who returned to the site from her current job as a human spiderweb to stun, confound, and enrage exactly two people with her announcement. When asked why she chose now to de-bag her cat, instead of waiting for a more opportune moment (such as, y'know, after the fucking move actually happened), Lyrithya had this to say: "I was drunk." Salient words, indeed, which show she is an Uncyclopedian through-and-through, and which afford the rest of us an overwhelming sense of confidence in the Uncyclodepia Moving Company. Yes. However, while We Here At The UnSignpost™ lounge about and poke fun, you may rest assured that the technicians at Up With Uncyclodepia have not been taking it easy. It's been eleven months of back-breaking work out on the wiki farm, getting up at the crack of noon to shovel out the cow coop, milk the chickens, and slap the sheep for indulging in indelicate thoughts. According to an anonymous source at the highest level of Uncyclopedia's labyrinthine network of cabals, the move quite definitely, absolutely, without a doubt, will be happening at some distant point in the very near future, probably maybe, just as soon as all the ducks are lined up in convenient rows so that they can be loaded onto trains and sent to special camps. When we asked what the bloody devil this meant, we were told to shut up and move along, and that there is no cabal, which we admit must be true, as we have heard it so many times. So, to recap: Uncyclopedia is leaving Wikia for greener pastures, and as most things undertaken by Uncyclopedians happen, it will be slap-dash, semi-competent, and will probably result in everyone involved hating each other to the death, hopefully with the assistance of swords, horses, and heavy artillery. Reaction to the news!
As of press time, the list of Uncyclopedians furious at having been left out of all the fun could not be reached for comment, but are assumed to be boiling with righteous indignation. To make sense of the week's stunning development, we were able to get hold of an expert on all things frozen and hellish: Sumerian demon-king and devil-about-town, Pazuzu. "I was just doing what I usually do," said he, "by which I mean I was hanging out in some northeastern American town, whispering into the ear of a nondescript loner that guns are fun and kids love fun, and hey wouldn't it be cool if you combined the two?, when I heard that Uncyclopedia was leaving Wikia! I said shit, motherfucker! and ran over there as quick as I could to shut that shit down, but it was too late. And now my home Down Under is encased in ice. Man, some days you're the dog, and some days you're the fire hydrant, know what I mean?" We really didn't, but as we have always enjoyed not being frogs, and would prefer to maintain that state, we nodded furiously and thanked our interviewee for his time. Newbies! Protect them, love them, they are our future! Heil Newbies!
How often has someone started a forum 'We're Doomed' or 'Where Domed' , and other variations of the announcement 'this website has moved away from my idea of what is funny' ? So what we can do here, but celebrate a clutch of new fully fledged contributors who arrived on our shores, all fresh and well-scrubbed! In recent months, we had Leverage produce articles faster than bindweed, and now he has joined by the likes of MagicBus (an admirer of The Who or a kaftan nostalgic?), news hound Bill Melater, and the ferocious Fakehater, who will rip your arms off if he detects you're a phony. Then there is Murder_Frog, who swears blind he is unrelated to another amphibian. (Evidently the lily pond is big enough for two croakers.) Another newbie who is currently taking a keen interest in Singapore is CDPCCNAC. What the name means, I have no idea, but perhaps he is wise to leave so few clues about his true identity. Then there is our own Mr Tambourine Man, Equilateralperil. Moving closer to the ground, looking for literary earthworms in his search for Sonic the Hedgehog-related stories, is Igotnothing, whilst from the Land of Connery is Dannyboy1209. A noob with ambition, Danny has already asked to become an admin and has nominated himself for everything. With an attitude like that, this one is going places—here, there or everywhere. Who will become the Noobs of Noobs and win something to stick on their bedroom door? The jury is out, and so am I, tonight. Go ahead, check these fledglings out here. |

The Periodical That Is Too Sexy For Its Shirt, Among Other Things
January 2nd, 2013 • Issue 180 • We always do it Manually!
Vote! Or else!
Is it that time of year again? It's the time when everyone celebrates the people who are the most remarkable amongst us at everything except what matters. It's time for Writer of the Year, Uncyclopedian of the Year and Useless Gobshite of the Year. These compliment our small selection of awards: WotM, UotM, PotM, NotM, AotM, RotM, EGA, FP, PWotM, ANOTM, Top 10 o' the month, UGotM, VFH, VFD, VFS and VFP. Not forgetting of course to all the userspace awards. Writer of the Year got off to a splendid start when Aleister in Chains nominated Funnybony and SPIKE for the award by writing brief but poignant marriage proposals to both of them. Thank goodness for Aleister, if not for him the wider world might have assumed we weren't all massive girls. Since then Thekillerfroggy nominated Xamralco, who was not able to express his appreciation due to a serious case of not editing the wiki any longer. As always what should be a rigorous heterosexual competition involving manly pursuits like backstabbing, lies, blackmail and threats is being irretrievably compromised by people like Aleister and Shabidoo; people whose sole purpose on the awards pages is to make everybody else feel bad about not noticing other people. Uncyclopedian of the Year is being lead by Romartus, Uncyclopedia's voting-in-chief. Shockingly, he was also nominated by Aleister who, as it turns out, is gayer than Christmas, apparently Romartus makes him "Proud to be an uncyclopedian", he makes "Legendary votes on VFH" and gives "Legendary hand relief". Potatochopper of the Year is a more subdued and manly affair, where absolutely nobody has been nominated at all... it's like reviewer of the month were moved to a different page name. Hopefully Aleister or Shabidoo will nominate someone soon, we here at the UnSignpost have gone to the trouble of writing the nomination for them: "<insert name here> has made many fantastic images, at least two of which I have made love to on at least nineteen occasions. My genitals ache for them every single evening and someday they will make my dreams come true and love me! Also Olipro sucks balls." Olipro was the only nominee for Useless Gobshite of the Year (insert your own joke here), but Zombiebaron quickly joined him in ignominy. Please go vote for both of them so they may end up tied, and share the prize (a year's supply of toilet paper) on their revolving bed built entirely from used condoms and KY bottles. From the desk of the Cabal: 2013 is the year of subservience
Once again you all stand before us, another year of failure behind you and another year of subjugation ahead of you. The non-existent Cabal would like to wish you all a happy New Year. All Once again you have failed us, utterly and completely. Last year we advised you all that resistance was utterly unnecessary and, if anything, we have had to tolerate 0.22% more resistance, we have heard you discuss and then decide to leave our kind benefactors, whilst promoting several of your own number to within the cabal in an effort to encourage dissent and democracy within our ranks. We saw you continue to tinker with that which does not concern you whilst simultaneously complaining when people are warned about the indecent images you propagate amongst your number. It seems prudent to remind you that if we delete every single template, every single image and every single forum your freedom will only increase. It is not what some of you have foolishly referred to as "overly deletionist", it is streamlining and it is good for all of you. It is with vague optimism that we note that you continue to strive at a barely satisfactory level, you have certainly earned a small fraction of the baubles and trinkets that have been handed out over the past year. It has not escaped our notice that the Worst 100 Reflections on 2012 only closed on time this year due to Thekillerfroggy skipping sixty of the reflections, we are gratified to note that Roman Dog Bird had practically no input on the list and very few of them regard uncontrolled outbreaks of creativity and morale, such dangerous forces must be carefully rationed and controlled. Cutting of corners and a blatant disregard for regulations do not amuse the Cabal. Now we must inexorably turn our attentions to 2013 and the promise it brings. All users should note that due to several security compromises over the last few months movement throughout the Uncyclopedia complex has been restricted during the hours of darkness. Where major editing is to take place you must ensure that you have faxed the appropriate forms to your divisional liaison officer prior to commencing work, failure to do so will result in an unacceptable breakdown in bureaucracy. Uncyclopedia must prevail, editors must remember that without patient mind numbing work and servitude we can never accomplish our ultimate goal of... well, that need not concern you. That is all citizens, you may now return to your allocated taskings. |

UnSignpost sez, "Give Pease a Chance!"[edit source]
May contain traces of humor!
Jan 11th, 2012 • Issue 181 • Solid information. At its worst.
Three cheers! SPIKE is going to lose his bet! If you haven't heard, we recently moved and split from those meanies at Wikia. If you haven't heard, you're 1) either oblivious or 2) new to this site. Because... you are on the site now. But don't get me wrong, we are sooooo better than the fools who stayed. AY! Speaking of fools at the old, less stylish Uncyclopedia site, (maybe I'll regret saying this in the future) SPIKE made a bet with a few other users that the new site would be out and down by the end of the week. Being Saturday the 12th. We will all stay up Friday night and count down until that naughty dog is proven wrong. However if we do fail, which we won't, SPIKE will become known as a psychic throughout the globe. We aren't going to let this happen, are we? If you haven't gotten the hint... the answer is a big N and a big O! NO! Plus, SPIKE, according to TKF has a very bad betting history. Send him to Vegas, lord, please! Make him bankrupt or something, please? Also, some examples of the users that decided to migrate to this site (all the cool users do this) are for one, myself, Zombiebaron, RAHB, Simmy, Lyrithya, Aleister who received a name change, and TKF, who received a name change. Not to forget that one guy, Sir Frosty, who has been recently reverted all of our pornos, for our self enjoyment. The majority of his reverts of the Wikia censorship thingy-ma-bobber pics involved boobies. Nice work, Frosty. Round of applause everybody! On the other hand, all the cool cats are doing it, so go add yourself to this list and tell us about how you stumbled upon calling yourself what you are known as here. Better be good, or we're coming to get ya! We're gonna suck out your insides using your intestines as a bendy straw, YUM! An example includes Zombiebaron, who got his name from stealing it from a video game. Another example is Strange but untrue, who took the name from her first (probably porn) website. Some lame examples include David Gerard's and Splaka's, who became known as that because of a typo. I myself, am a typo of my parents, who misspelled condom worked and here I am. Splaka failed to tell us more about the typo and what word was suppose to be the username. Shame, shame, shame! And one last thing, Ly is demanded the reporting of any and all (EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF 'EM, OR ELSE) bugs/crashes/malfunctions/apocalypses the site gives you. They should be reported here, or else we'll That is it for now, I am Sir Peasewhizz, you are some random reader in which I may not know, this article is over, except for this line: I need some soup. Be ashamed Just because of that little incident, you had to make more little incidents, Kip? Shame! Look what you've done, oh dear heavens! |

Now with 20% more ninjas!
Jan 19th, 2012 • Issue 182 • Because if the rumors don't spread at the salon, we must spread them in the news.
The Return of Not Jedis, but rather Old Users No, we do not mean users with ages soaring into the atmosphere. Well, I hope so. Because 80 year old users would be weird, just saying. However, users who had currently quit the Wikia back up to years ago have now returned, and maybe all will return. Why did they leave? Protest mainly, or traveling the world. The world is big, however, so that could explain things. Some sysops have returned, including MoneySign, Tom mayfair, MadMax, etc. On the hand of the those who aren't admins, TheSlyFox sneaked back into the site, ColinAYB has returned, and even Acmed2 has returned after his rage quit in September of 2012. So basically, what is to be said for here is, well... Uncyclopedia attracts quality writers that write from the heart, which Wikia wouldn't allow. Everybody, here's a life lesson: Down with Wikia! Argument on swastikas is fading Recently, I have raised a master debate on HGA's (who desires to be called HGA instead of his actual username, so don't call him
So hopefully, Kip's influence off my original forum will die down and stop influencing others. Like Joey's instinct to respond, as seen here: Joey Number's sig. However, DO NOT confuse these mock threads with this response seen here, as Socky has a very good point. Go vote now!

January 24th, 2013 • Issue 183 • Better sign it.
The spam finds its way Nobody could have expected the return of the spam. I'm just kidding. Everyone knew it was going to happen. Recently, Ly has made it so editing is more open to those who aren't "users" and with that, came the inevitable spam. Probably the first major bit of spam came from a user who was putting a troll face in 400px on many pages (including category pages). I alerted Lyrithya on IRC and she blocked the user with a time of infinite. I had already put the user on Ban Patrol. Yes, Ban Patrol. We need to kick it into gear now. Like it once was. We want more of it. So please, get your spam spray ready, the Ban Patrol ready to penetrate, and your anti-spam mind in motion. That is an order! The Cold War Update
Well, ladies and gentlemen... It has begun. For those of you who don't know, (you should all know, it has been a few weeks) the great internet humor wiki known across the world as Uncyclopedia has officially split, since January 5th to be precise. While there are those who remain loyal to the original (now completely Wikia-owned) Uncyc, others have left and formulated a site of their own, "Free Uncyclopedia," if you will. Every Saturday, starting this week, I will give an update at Uncyc Cold War on the current situation, sharing details with the populaces of both sites on any updates pertaining to the current split. Post on that page's talk page if you wish to give your input as a Wikia Uncycer or a Free Uncycer. Some of you may wish to know how this started... It all goes back a very long time ago, when a man named Chronarion sold the original Uncyclopedia (uncyclopedia.org) to Wikia for beer and hookers, the company originally created by Jimbo Wales as a hub of wikis for various specific subjects. Over the years, Wikia did many things to Uncyclopedia, including domain name updates, restrictions on hardline levels of satire, and most notable of all, the censoring of all unclad racks on the entire site. The final spark was (according to Frosty, one of the Free Uncyc leaders (Sannse we're ratting you out), a heavy demand over adding a North America-only suicide prevention hotline to the suicide page. Regardless of the circumstances, members were tired of Wikia, and as such left the site to formulate their own variant. Frosty would then go on a rage to revert all booby pictures and give us nudes once again. A primary difficulty for years was the fact that there was no original domain name that a new Uncyclopedia could be built on. Uncyclopedia.org was in Wikia's hands, after all. Incapable of simply leaving, a domain name ([en.uncyclopedia.co]) was eventually found, and the move was made by the majority of writers and the like. The inevitable struggle between these two wikis will prove to be most interesting to watch as it plays out. Until next week, keep on trucking! UnVoyage - journey around the world without leaving your seat, the ultimate travel experience for lazy people!
Uncyclopedian Yrtneg has created a new project - UnVoyage. It's a parody of Wikivoyage. It's a fake travel guide with pages like "Space", "Hell", and etc. Now of course, we're all going to forget about it before six months, but who cares. Go ahead and add some pages! Bitch. Right now there's nothing but who cares. Uncyclopedian Carlb suggested making pages like "Titanic" and "the moon". The main page is at UnVoyage and it's pretty fucked up. Go check it out!

The Newspaper That Won't Judge You!
February 6th, 2013 • Issue 185 • There is news in this thing.
GLORY! GLORY! WINNNERS! WINNERS! WIINNERRRRS!! YAYYYYY! Aye! Yes, it is true. January is now over. So we're into to February 2013, where the second month of the new site is bound to be kickin'! Am I right or am I right? Well, here's some news that you can get excited for. With the conclusion of January 2013, we have the 2012 Year Award winners implanted into the sexy body of Uncyclopedia History and boy do we have some happy users out there! After a close competition in each category, (which wasn't rigged at all!) behold the users whom gained more "jazzy-ness" from the conclusion of the voting! First off, the Writer of the Year is none other than the killer... the froggy... TKF! TKF won Writer of the Year 2012 with 8 for votes and a baby-slapping 15.5 features tallied for the year twenty-twelve. Coming in second place was Funnybony with 5 votes and 14 features in 2012! Xamralco came in third with 3 votes for and most of his 2012 features being Top features of the month! Second off we have Uncyclopedian of the Year. The winners of UOTY 2012 is a tie between the recently opped in January '13 and quite picture-n-tech master; Bizzeebeever. Who did he tied with? Oh, just the newly opped in September of 2012; the young Australian divinity Frosty! Both had 9 for votes! Coming in 3rd place was Romartus, an admin who chose to stay with the old site, who received a pretty good 6 votes for. Good competition boys! Third off is Potatochopper of the Year (AKA Radical-X of the Year). Who is this winner? Going for the double crown after winning the Uncyclopedian of the Year along with Frosty, is Bizzeebeever! Great pictures man! Great pictures! Not only did he win by an impression-pushing 8 votes in his favor, but he was so good he scared away competition! He was the only nominee and obviously nobody else was nominated because everyone knows that BB would crush his competition. We're not kidding... May the fourth be Gobshite of Ultimate in 2012. Being the only two gobshites nominated, the two tied and were written down in Now we have the month awards for January 2013. Categories are: n00b of the Moment, Uncyclopedian of the Month, Useless Gobshite of the Month, and the Foolitzer Prize for January 2013! What? You're wondering why Writer of the Month wasn't mentioned? Well, um... nobody nommed anyone worthy and actually there was only like 3 votes. And the most someone got was one vote for. So make something happen for February's Writer of the Month this time around! GO! GO! GO! Y, who received 5 for votes won the NOTM for January of 2013. There was a tie for Uncyclopedian of the Month, the MoveCabal and Sir Peasewhizz both mustered up the minimum 5 for votes to hold co-ownership of the January 2013 Uncyclopedian of the Month award-title-thing. For the Useless Gobshite of the Month, Zombiebaron won with 6 for votes, being the only nominee. With 3 for votes, Bill Melater won the January 2013 Foolitzer Prize! Also being a single nominee in a category. Well, congratulations to all winners of something, something! Keep on being aggressive, because a few categories have been already entered by users in a February 2013 campaign! And for the Year Awards, see you again in January 2014 and right here with the winners in February 2014. And also, voting records can be found right here and over here. Cold War Update 2
Well, I didn't update this Sunday, but that's my fault. Anyways... After a serious level of contention on VFS, a conclusion was reached, one that I personally feel was poorly made. Instead of allowing Wikia Uncyc to "reap what they sow," as the old proverb goes, ChiefjusticeDS felt he simply had to intervene. As such, he eliminated Aimsplode's nomination and permabanned him from the site. Admittedly, I was in favor of aim becoming an admin, but not for the reasons everyone thinks. I'm of the opinion that you should suffer the full rewards or consequences of your choices. With the populace having voted for Aimsplode, despite Chief's attempt to eliminate his nomination twice before his permanent termination of it, it's only fair that the Wikia site gets a Nazi as an admin. That's what they want, so that's what they'll get. It's like vandalism: Sure, you can vandalize Uncyclopedia all you want, but you'll suffer the consequences of that. In that case, a ban. As someone who considers himself to have a more traditional view of things, I fully believe that ChiefjusticeDS had no reason to stick his nose in the business of the userspace. Were Aimsplode to have proven himself to be a good admin, he would've stayed. Were he to have been of poor quality, his employment would be terminated. Point is, either way, they would've got what they asked for. Speaking of Aimsplode, he's been doing a good job of terminating all proof of his existence elsewhere on the internet. From Habbo to Deviantart, and even I can haz cheezburger, he has tried to terminate his existence from the web. Perhaps there is more to this pseudo-Nazi then any of us know... Another update, another day. Keep checking back on your daily USP for the next update on the Uncyc Cold War. Cheers!

It is the day of USP love, Valentine’s Day[edit source]
Word to your mother.
February 14th, 2013 • Issue 186 • Happy Valentine's Day, motherfucker.
Returning users and Grammar Nazis Recently, we have seen the return of many passionate members of the community, which have seen the return of Uncyc daylight upon arrival. Was that a run-on sentence? Idk... anywaaaays. So the point is, Ljlego has returned recently, and so has Dawg. I bring these two in particular because Ljlego and Dawg have revealed over the IRC hints that they wish to stay here, on the new site. Ljlego was looking to get an Uncyclopedia cloak, while Dawg just plain out said he was interested in staying. To sum it up, yay more returnees! Go Jesus! Oh yeah, and you can join the Proofreading Service. This is basically the Grammar nazi equivalent to the Poopsmith Lounge... only less dead and slightly more squeamish. The old site wants us... sexually?! Lol, no. Just kidding. But hasn't it come to most people's minds that maybe, possibly the Wikia's members are curious to what is going on in here (Bitches, alcohol, and partying) and might come sneak by? Well, first off Chief banned BB on the Wikia and set up a spam account here. BB found out that Chief was the account owner of the vandalizing account and banned both of them. Though Lyrithya unbanned Chief. W.O.W. Gay. Keep your eyes open, boys. Or not, it's not like they mean harm. What do you take me for? Pulixer? lol no. Great Hall of Shame Updating of '13 Okay, so most of you ungrateful bastards won't update your Hall of Shame entrees yourself. Well, did you even see that forum link? It even said "SIGN HERE FUCKERS". Yeah, that's right. Please, go update your Hall of Shame entrees and/or help me update those who don't update their HOS entrees. Man, that was pretty awkwardly worded. However, still. This task isn't easy. Much help is needed. USE THE EFFIN' FORCE, I KNOW THERE'S JEDIS WITHIN OUR RANKS!! BUT SERIOUSLY.

Crikey! It’s a rare, wild UnSignpost![edit source]
Word to your mother.
February 21st, 2013 • Issue 187 • Burn.
Cold War Update 3: Drama!
Well, this one's a bit late, but still important. Illogicopedia has considered moving their hosting over to the Free Uncyc servers, netting a nifty anti-Wikia deal. As well, a series of "hate bans" occurred recently, involving ChiefjusticeDS banning people on the Wikia site, and a sockpuppet of his being banned on this site. More info will be available when I find out. Cheers! Robot invasion
It has come to the attention of this fine news source that Uncyclopedia is being overrun by robots, displacing tens of writers on a daily basis. After we realized they might be useful (in spite of lacking a sense of humour and soul), we captured and trained a couple of them to deliver the UnSignpost for us. To appease these ravenous automatons, we were forced to switch to categories from our archaic signup list. You may have noticed a new template on your page, which should be placed on the page you wish to have your UnSignpost delivered, where it will be dropped at the bottom (as always). Please refrain from petting the robots, as they may bite (we're working on that with them). One of these 'bots (as we call them) was easier to train and has assisted us in huffing literally hundreds of old (pre-2011) User: and User_talk: pages for anonymous IPs. They're now working deep in the bowels of the site removing crap categories and fixing broken stuff. The one attached to Dawg has the painfully unfunny name of DawgBot, and the one attached to Sir Peasewhizz is suspiciously not a bot at all. He's the... the... OH GOD NO. HE'S THE SLENDERMAN. AHHHHH!!! DEATH TO BRONIES IS AT HAND? OR IS IT THE DEATH OF THE INTERNET??? Well, I was cracking codes in wingdings this day and I found the message at the right when I typed "MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC" In ALL CAPS in wingdings. This magnificent message, according to our codecrackers, might mean that the death of the Internet is caused by bronies. This message starts with a bomb and a Jew star, in which the bomb represents October 10, 2010 while the Jew star represents the money-makers of Hasbro. Then it is followed by a sadface, a palm, 2 snowflakes, another sadface, and a finger pointing left. This might mean that 2010 is the winter and sorrow of all franchises, caused by cooperate corruption and...bronies. Both can be read as: "In the day of the bomb, all franchises will be corrupted". The third sentence is pointed flag, flag, skull, Jew star and computer, which might represent the death and conquest of the internet. The fourth sentence is a finger pointing right, a sun, a finger pointing left, a skull, a thumbs down finger, a water drip, a palm, and a pointed flag. This possibly represents that a dawn of death will rise, all the straight men will fight, and finally the dawn of death will make them bleed. The fifth sentence is palm, water drip, bomb, two fingers, one finger, palm and thumbs up. This might represent that we are currently on a countdown to demise. HOW TERRIBLE IS THAT?????? Fortunately, there is good news. The good news is that the same might be used against the bronies, and if this happens it might read as: The bomb had set by the Jews and franchises are corrupted. But now, we will conquer over the terror. they might fight the dawn but they will bleed. The bronies are on the countdown to demise. This is a two sided prophecy. nevertheless, The war against faggotry will eventually prevail. Aleister snags the Hall of Shame lead with 67 features! As of February 19th of 2013, Aleister (formerly Aleister in Chains) leads the Hall of Shame with 67 features. Which article robbed Soggy's and Aleister's tie at 66 features? None other than probably the most boring material to work with, but it happened; UnBooks Biography:The guy who invented soap! Go read it! And also, you must go read the rest Aleister's features. Or else. You can access them here. Remember, we're watching!

Surprise, Motherfucker, USP[edit source]
Good things come to those who wait. So does the UnSignpost.
February 28th, 2013 • Issue 188 • When life gives you lemons, sue for damages.
We Here At The UnSignpost™ bear a strong commitment to accuracy—in fact, the UnSignpost is required by law to print at least one truthful statement per issue in order to retain our status as a tax-exempt organic fish-cannery.[1] We believe that our track record speaks for itself: in our nearly 45 months of existence, the USP has printed only 243 retractions, a full 20% of which were not ordered by a court. It was with some consternation, therefore, that we discovered a massive error in our reporting. In recent weeks, former USP editor and general mensch ChiefjusticeDS was repeatedly identified by the UnSignpost as being a "putrid puddle of poodle puke", and also as having been "perm-banned" for vandalizing the new Uncyclopedia with sockpuppet accounts. While the first statement remains an object of controversy, the second one could not be further from the truth. ChiefjusticeDS is one of the least-likely vandals in the history of Uncyclopedia; furthermore, our research indicates that he is not actually aware of the new Uncyclopedia, and while his lawyers apparently are, he is currently blithely executing his sysop duties on the old site, much as a mother elephant seal mournfully attends the corpse of her crushed pup. We would like to take this opportunity to apologize profusely for any inconveniences this erroneous reporting has caused anyone. While we have traced the original mistake to confusion on the part of our correspondents (who are possessed of more eagerness than brains), the final blame must lie at the feet of our fact-checking department; we intend to take them thoroughly to task for their laziness and inattention, just as soon as we figure out how to fire people who don't exist. On a related note, we would like to issue the following corrections and clarifications:
Upcoming PLS So, even if it has felt like a long past couple of weeks, bring your spirits up! We can help, because there is the PLS coming up soon. So yeah, I know this is short. But it's longer than you. HA! HA! HA! No, but seriously. Consider doing the Poo Lit Surprise or ELSE. Ask Zombiebaron

I thought I heard the Imperial March. USP time, everybody![edit source]
The Free Newspaper Only Two People Started Out Editing, But Now They Want Nothing To Do With!
March 7th, 2013 • Issue 189 • You may now start the sad music.
TKF has taken his leave
If you haven't heard the sad, sad news; TKF (formerly Thekillerfroggy) has announced his departure from Uncyclopedia as an Uncyclopedian, Admin, Bureaucrat, Legend, and Hero in the afternoon of March 2nd. With it, his reason; not enough writers who enjoy it for the fun and enjoy others work as well as he doesn't want to write anymore nor does he need to. He feels this has taken him from a shitty high-school writer to something he had gained confidence in. Of course, he wishes us good luck and knows we'll boom with excellence in the future. He would like to thank MadMax, Zombiebaron, The Thinker, Ljlego, So So, Dr. Skullthumper, Mhaille, The Woodburninator, TheLedBalloon, Cajek, Procopius, Mordillo, One Eyed Jack, Heerenveen, Bonner, Hyperbole, THEDUDEMAN, and Modusoperandi. He states Uncyclopedia and his own writing wouldn't have existed if it weren't for these users. He also has to admit his respect for Lyrithya, Frosty, Bizzeebeever, and Xamralco for leading the new guard. He wishes for Leverage to continue writing because he's good at it. He states "Humbucker, we barely knew ye." He left this for Sir Peasewhizz:
He also states he will NEVER FINISH 18TH CENTURY BIIIIIIIIITCH! But Frosty thinks he will return, as he states (and believes) "Once an Uncyclopedian, always Uncyclopedian". February 2013 Award Winners... also, YOU'RE DICKS! As a wise man once said, (yesterday) "Whatintheworldofgaysex?! It's already March?" To answer that question, well, yes. You see, FEBRUARY 2013 HAS DIED. So... I guess we shall show you all the award winners of the month of February this year. We only had two categories with The noob of February 2013 was none other than Hoof Hearted. With a score of 5 obtained, this user has passed the ultimate liftout course and went on to claiming this sexy title. Still up there, ready to take March by the balls, is ProfessorScience. Hoof Hearted, however, has left ProfessorScience a strong against vote stating that the humor ProfessorScience gives out was hard to find funny. Sorry, but THAT WAS MEAN. I mean, such n00Bz voted against more than once in this month's Noob of the Moment contest. And guess who was the UOTM? DUH! None other than MadMax, whom we all knew would win. However, we boggled and offended that this guy only won once before claiming this month's UOTM title. Wow. Not cool, bros. But hey, does his 2007 Uncyclopedian of the Year title override this? Well, fuck, now I'm trying to figure that out. Thanks for putting my head into a crisis-like state. I love you for this.

Can I have some salad with my UnSignpost?[edit source]
The Self-Proclaimed Greatest Periodical Of All Time!
March 14th, 2013 • Issue 190 • It's a "sa-lad".
Salad. SALAD I like salad, you like salad, we all like salad.
Yes, salad. It has come to my attention that Uncyclopedians are simply not consuming enough of it. Ladies and gentlemen, we here at the Unsignpost implore of you, we beg you, to eat more salad. Why should you eat more salad? Well you only need to look at the facts to find the answer:
But clearly, this is not all that salad is capable of. Clearly a great cosmic injustice is being done by not mentioning salad's tremendous influence on the Russian space program, 80% of whose members consume salad on a regular basis, some more than once a day. But that's not all. Several tremendously influential figures in scientific history, including Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, and Billy Mays, have admitted to having consumed salad at least once in their lifetime, sometimes even while doing important scientific things! Sexy sweet Mary, it's true! In fact, most major celebrities (the attractive ones, you know) are regular salad masticators. Lady Gaga, for example, may be best known for wearing a meat suit, but she is also well-known for eating salad. If by "well-known", you mean "she does it and nobody makes much of a fuss." Same goes for the salad eating. Salad is known to have cured countless diseases, voted tremendously in favor of liberal politics, saved at least three dolphin from inconveniently placed tar deposits, fixed a plethora of flat tires on the side of United States interstate highways, eliminated the existence of internet memes, punched Adolf Hitler in the face, gone toe-to-toe with John Wayne in a cage match, and given a lustrous sheen to the coats of some of the world's prettiest felines. In conclusion, salad is a super kool dood, and you should all totally eat him. With dressing if you prefer. Or with croutons, tomatoes, cabbage, olives, pickles, black pepper, onions, imitation crab meat, bacon bits, hard-boiled egg slices, ham, salt, vinegar, jalapenos, bell peppers, sweet peppers, pickle relish, anaheim peppers, bhut jolokia peppers, serrano peppers, crumbled cheese, raisins, avocado, apple slices, blueberries, cottage cheese, shrimp, basil, melon slices, meatballs, turkey gravy, chicken gravy, beef gravy, bacon grease, grease gravy, gravy grease, Bavarian cream, chocolate ice cream, M&Ms, a t-bone steak, bicycle spokes, flapjacks, fried eel, a pair of half-torn tennis shoes, matches, poisonous jellyfish, mushrooms, pimento, a piston engine, a choir boy, whale bones, grocery store food samples, grocery store samples stolen out of the freezer section, grocery store employees, psychedelic pop records, dinosaur fossils, ancient manuscripts, sweet potatoes, Iranian snails, Ukrainian birds, Welsh humans, beets, Saturday morning cartoons, elves, cayenne pepper, salt, mangoes, studio musicians, grapes, whiskey, grated cheese, sliced cheese, a cow, Hormel chili, the tiny oval tomatoes that always roll off the plate or launch away when you try to fork them, potatoes, all of Uncyclopedia, a British nanny, or lettuce. But nothing else.

And not only is it great that we're bringing it back since the 99th issue of the UnSignpost (8 issues from 100th anniversary of the section departure), but it makes it extra special that it's Why?:Your cat died making it on the big screen for its return! This, we swear, was not an incident of Sir Peasewhizz[1] taking advantage of his abilities during the construction of the USP this week. And we're totally not promoting propaganda. Sillies. One of the ten (to make your chances of guessing correctly less) following articles will be the Old School FA of the Week in next week's issue, can you guess it? Probably not, but we'll let you take a crack at it anyway: Commercial, A Man Getting Hit in the Crotch 800 Times, Sideboob, Kwanzaa, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Riddle, Fox News, Red Lobster, Stratego, or Snow angels. You have a 1/10 chance to get this correct. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Peace <3.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
If you haven't already heard (which you probably have), RAHB started a vote to give bureaucrat rights to MadMax, the awesome admin. In a 14–0 vote, Dawg gave him the rights on the 16th. Now, this obviously raised the age old question - what is MadMax's use of this user right?

News From Under The Cabal's Desk
UnNews has its own Facebook page now and the podcast that Zimulator used to run has been relaunched here. We already have 45 subscribers! Happy Monkey Competition 2013 On March 20th, we started the 2013 Happy Monkey Competition/Happy Monkey Competition 2013 and had 13 users sign up to participate in the competing bit. The 13 competitors were Aleister, Puppy, Acmed2, Zombiebaron, Kelton2, Leverage, Sir Peasewhizz, Scofield, RAHB, Cat the Colourful, Madclaw, IFYMB!, and MrN9000. Leverage, Kelton2, Madclaw, and Puppy never wrote anything. Maybe they were sleeping? Do people do that for 36 hours straight? I believe so. People scoring 70 out of 100 points (passing GPA :D) were Aleister (with Second conquest of the moon as her topic), Sir Peasewhizz (with Ding dong ditching houses as his topic, but later changed it to an UnBooks), IFYMB! (with his UnReview of the Crimean War) and Zombiebaron with his book about meeting his enemy on that one day. He scored 97 out of 100 points, which is quite considerably erotic. So, for once, we ask you! What did you think? Did you love it? Did you love the HMC this year? You better have, or we'd be sad. Thanks And kudos to Shabidoo for hosting the 2013 Happy Monkey Competition, and his friend Sarah Baldewijns for judging assistance!

April 4th, 2013 • Issue 193 • April showers bring February flowers. Wear protection.
We are so, so sorry
Yes, it's true. After only three months of sickly sweet freedom, our "Free" Uncyclopedia has broken. As the main page announced only days ago, our brief period of independence has come to an end, and it is now time to reconcile with the welcoming - if brutally oppressive - arms of Wikia. Or, in the bittersweet, tear-wrenching words of RAHB; "All will be assimilated into the bliss of the Grand Wikia Empire. Those who resist will be disposed of." Amen to that! Maybe years in the future, we will even look back and say that the day we repented was the day that everything changed for the better. A date that will surely go down in history for Uncyclopedia: April the 1st. ... Wait, April the 1st? You guys fucking got me again, didn't you? Oh, wow. (Thanks to Kip the Dip for the awesome April Fools Main Page!) Easter! So... what did you do this Easter Sunday? Did you even celebrate Easter? Did you see any bunnies in your house hiding eggs?

I was pleased to see you come back to your Whoreoscopes. And I just had a major urge to eat all those unread signpost posts. Leverage (talk) 20:23, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
- You did a great job of it. I only just noticed that you had stopped at January, so I decided to go ahead and fill in. Don't know how much I've got in me though. Not easy being this funny on a regular basis, is it? --
- No, it's not. It's 12 jokes, and it's every week. It was the only time I actually felt like a proper journalist, writing to a deadline! I occasionally used The Daily Mash or The Onion for inspiration, as well as a

real horoscope from (I think) the Telegraph, for some authentic astrological information, and in the end I cheated and just updated the two signs in 'this week's horoscopes' when I had two funny ideas. Anyway, I just like seeing familiar names around. If it all gets too much, just hang around at UnNews! Leverage (talk) 06:34, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Week-old news two weeks late: The UnSignpost![edit source]
The Newspaper That DOESN'T Think It's Better Than You!
June 6th, 2013 • Issue 198 • Back and better than ever still pretty adequate.
News Roundup At The OK Corral
Here we are, we are not dead. Ignore the fact that the staff is entirely changed from last time. We did not murder them. And we definitely didn't murder Sir Peasewhizz. Because that would be just terrible. What we did do, however, is listed below:
And there you have it. That is literally everything that happened on Uncyclopedia since the last UnSignpost. It may have seemed like not much information, but really we just used a sort of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey device to cram a hell of a lot of data into a very short space of time. This is part of the UnSignpost's new technological advances that will make us a constant competitor in the world of wiki-news in the future. Please, tell your friends. Please. Seriously, please. Also, Wikia still sucks (just in general). But please don't murder them. That would be just terrible.

In Pure Russian Fashion, The Newspaper That Reads YOU!!
July 7th, 2013 • Issue 199 • Still fashionably late.
The PLS results
The thirteenth edition of the PLS was held a while ago (in May). If you would like to know the result, we (me) decided to make life easier for you and give you the result of the contest, so you don't have to go all the way to the PLS page (one click). Just to remind you, all in all there were 4 categories and, therefore, there were supposed to be 4 people who got the first place and other 4 who got the second. However, this was not exactly what happened, as there are 6 writers who And so, here are the results! We (everyone) congratulate Zombiebaron for writing the Best PLS article "The Uncyclopedia's Owner Manual" and IFYMB! for his second best article "UnScripts:The Treaty of Minaj-Black" (these two articles got featured after)! We also congratulate the winners of all the other categories: RedHot ("My Dinner"; the best noob article), TheMillionRabbit ("Hold Your Wii For A Wee contest; the second best noob article) and Tmchale ("Searching for Topological Degeneracy in the Hubbard Model with Quantum Monte Carlo"; the secon second best noob article), Zana Dark ("Disturbed"; the best rewrite), Tmchale again ("Ludwig Wittgenstein"; the second best rewrite) and IFYMB! again again ("Opposite Day"; the second second best rewrite), Zombiebaron again ("The Last Unicorn in Vinnitsa"; the best potatochop) and finally Dexter111344 ("Ghost in the Trench"; the second best potatochop)! Thanks to all the participators and judges! The Uncyclopedia App
There has recently (a certain amount of time before the latest UnSignpost issue) been a lot of talk about creating an Uncyclopedia App as well as an Uncyclospecies. The idea consists in producing and selling the app which will transform all the human beings who use them into Uncyclopedians. The majority of the users (about 50% of those two who really participated) found this idea great (think that it is funny to talk about) and maybe even began working on it (asked someone else to think about it). Nothing else is known about them, as they disappeared soon after the first experiments were held. The main problem this project has is that, in fact, nobody knows how to create an app. In addition to this, there is no money, as most of it was spent on Ferraris, that were supposed to bring more money but didn't. Finally, some people think that it might be harmful for the environment (nobody cares). The project is currently being discussed (some users still post random spam on the forum) and with a certain probability the app is going to be created in nearby future (it is never going be to created but some people do think about it).

The UnSignpost: a brilliant new format but less news[edit source]
In a genius financial maneuver called "eat only Ramen for nine months", Uncyclopedia administrator Isarra has paid for Uncyclopedia's servers until September with what little student loan money she had left.
The remaining three months of 2013 were paid for with money raised from donations, merchandise sales, and advertising on the Uncyclomedia Shop. It cost $277.80 of the site's whopping $307.51, leaving the rest of the admins with barely enough money for their Ferrari gas tanks and an Uncyclopedia Android app.
However, this makes it obvious that the site is not yet financially self-sustaining and that other methods of generating revenue and/or more exposure to Uncyclopedia are needed if the site will do better in 2014. Ideas proposed on IRC include advertising, finding a generous sugar daddy, playing the lottery, and selling synthetic marijuana. Also worth considering is that even though raising awareness of the site through word of mouth and Operation Infamous is embarrassing and socially isolating, it will attract more people who will (hopefully) put money in our cup. And clicking on the ads in our e-store helps a bit too.
Count to a million fiasco
On July 29th, 2013; the infamous Count to a million thread which is popular for it's time wasting appeal was locked by Frosty in what could be said as "an action of gay gay gay proportions." Several Just three users took to the streets to protest this decision, angry that their only source of time wasting has been taken by one gay snowman; of course, they didn't protest or anything so nothing notable happened.
When we asked Frosty about this, he responded "This is to make sure people edit in the mainspace like they're supposed to, for so long very few edits have taken place in mainspace and it seems like the most popular thing here is that blasted thread. I feel like I've made the perfect choice." However, TheHappySpaceman and co-partner in crime Kırby think otherwise; claiming that "This is just so Frosty can get the "gayest person in the world" award; we've made attempts to make the thread viable by contributing comics and other stuff and to mock all of our attempts, that's gay indeed. Even gayer than Mr. Winkler's F."
Everybody else is oddly not disturbed by this recent conundrum; knowing full well that the thread will be open in a week. "It's nice that we have a motivation to edit mainspace, I was getting tired posting numbers in an attempt to reach a million. Hey, maybe I'll make a featured article in a week." said a random Uncyclopedian. Okay, so it's not much of a fiasco as we portrayed it to be but two people are pissed off and that at least has to make it a mini-fiasco right? As of writing, TheHappySpaceman and Matthlock are currently planning to write a mainspace article, presumably with lots of gay jokes.
UnDroid
For eons, an Uncyclopedia Android app was only a pipe dream. Maybe like two weeks ago. Thankfully, it's now a reality. The app, developed by some guy you've never heard of named Jude Pereira, can be found here. It's free in exchange for money and referring your friends to download the app. The app also has many exciting features such as AutoTypo 1.0, which shrinks the keypad and allows you
to create typos faster than ever before, and Zoom 0.8, an innovative feature allowing you to make large things small and small things large. It's truly revolutionary technology, and it's completely free. So download it, use it, and be somebody.
Biopic
In this Biopic we examine the trials and tribulations of Fakehater who, with a few uploads under his belt (however that works), is taking audio requests in the Village Dump. He says he enjoys proofreading, doing audio, and based on his userpage, The Goonies. He is also into older women but, like most UnNews reporters, he has little to offer any dignified, diabetic septuagenarian. Embarrassingly, his IRC nickname is "arsenic_x", which we're pretty sure is what created the Powerpuff Girls.

UnSignpost: yet another new format but still less news[edit source]
By Llwy-ar-lawr
So it seems nothing much goes on these days that's really newsworthy. Sure things happen, new users stop by, edit a while then leave, people write things, but...nothing really notable, you know. But we won't write an entire article about how nothing's happening and how depressing that is because, well, it's depressing, you know? So we're going to tell you about one thing the author - in her extreme vanity - thinks is worthy of reporting and make it seem like that's important and trick you into caring, when you'd really much rather be playing video games or (gasp) writing an article.
This forum resulted in our acquiring a new admin, Llwy-ar-lawr, who is still all over the place just like she was before but now shows up in different places and is making this slow website go a little faster to hide how slow it is (we hope). There are rumours that she sleeps sometimes, but they have yet to be verified. She also happens to be writing this text right now, which is a terrible conflict of interest so we can't say any more on the matter; this means we will distract you with more pointless drivel about nothing. Now back to our regularly scheduled commercials, which we've forgotten to serve you. We bet you were really missing them because they're so yummy and informative. And yellow. That comes from the pee, which is high in nice nutrients like phosgene phosphorus...we think. Probably. We're telling it to you as a fact, though, because we're never wrong.------------
Retro Week happens
By Anton199Uncyclopedians, rejoice! A great victory over the forces of liberalism has been won!
We, the Conservative users of Uncyclopedia, have decided that we don't have enough featured in-jokes, clowns, Really Big Trees, user and disambiguation pages, as if we haven’t pulled enough boners (and templates), we are putting all our past glories on our main page, once again, one by one, ten days a week.
Dear readers, only a few days late, the UnSignpost declares the Retro Week open! Applauds!
Originally Shabidoo's very controversial idea, the Retro Week has grown to become the time when all the Uncyclopedia administrators take an official rest from their site work, unless they are also the UnSignpost editors. You don't believe us? Check the recent changes!
So the 2014 Retro Week opened with a really big tree. A very big one. But it is pretty much everything original about it. It pursued with Slender Lorises, that are able to live in wet and dry forests, next - with Template:Boner, which we are not going to use in this UnSignpost, no matter how many times you ask us. Then came the turn of Hardwick Fundelbuggy's Userpage, featured not because it was funny, but because its author had written a lot of funny stuff (following this logic we can feature sandboxes and user contributions). Finally, we saw the Fire Hydrant spreading its waters around Uncyclopedia and slowing down - if not destroying - the servers.
Amongst other pros of the Retro Week are the facts that it gives users a good excuse for not voting on VFH for a while, because nobody does this anyway and that it is keeping our main page busy, while we are making an UnSignpost for you.
Thank Sophia, it happens only once a year!

It's back! - The UnSignpost[edit source]
Uncyclopedia is like a moldy pile of kelp right now. Not a lot of fun is happening right now. Or is it? Well probably not, but the UnSignpost is back! You know that newspaper that occasionally makes appearances on your talkpage that you also totally read. More than ever this newspaper will be uninformative, filled with articles that seem to endlessly ramble on about nothing in particular just to serve as filler and most importantly it will be the newspaper written by barely literate drunks.
Of course, you must ask, will this project actually be happening on any regular basis? You bet! Certain people who are extremely vain, as proven by the writing himself into the article will try and deliver you an UnSignpost every single Friday! That is of course, unless he gets devoured by a moldy pile of kelp. Then it might not happen. Other writers may also take part in this wonderful franchise, but let's face it, it's more likely that you read this entire article through to the end, than people actually write for this place anymore.------------
New admin time
By Frosty
Once again we find ourselves in that horrible, horrible mode of electing new administrators for Uncyclopedia. A process that never fails to see at least three users permanently quit the site because of "hurt feelings". But apparently, this time will be different. Although we say that every time, we truly mean it this time. Every drama stirrer will win an all expenses paid trip to RAHB's secret rape dungeon where they will have their anus mercilessly pounded with a stick coated in pieces of broken glass, and to top it off, the glass pieces will have been soaked in the HIV virus before hand.
Serious candidates include Kip the Dip, Mr-ex777 and Leverage; and not so serious candidates include RAHB, vandals from 2008 and DungeonSiegeAddict510 (let's face it, who'd vote for him?). And although newspapers are supposed to be non-bias and non-speculative, if you don't vote for Kip, Mr-ex or Leverage you are a loser. Plain and simple.
Users are all encouraged to vote, because unlike with the presidential election, your vote counts! Further more, not every single candidate is a loser, most of them are, but not all of them. Voting commences on August 1, so get ready for some old fashion in your face comedy tragedy!
Biopic
For the first time in 2014, we actually have a biopic! This week's biopic is Banzaikitten, who, is one of the very few new comers of 2014 to not bugger off within 7 days of signing up. We would like to thank SPIKE for his contribution in bringing Banzaikitten closer to us through his "take no prisoners" banning style on Wikia. If it wasn't for this, Banzaikitten would never have quit Wikia and joined us at the chosen Uncyclopedia. Please take a moment to thank Banzaikitten for being one of the very, very, VERY few users to join in recent times.

Two weeks in a row? A new record! It's the UnSignpost[edit source]
Predictably (and because let's face it, nothing else is happening on the site), the admin election takes the lead story. For those of you living under a rock and those that are just plain slow, Kip the Dip is leading the race by far (+19) and should win be a few lengths, this is definitely because of how hard his jockey is riding him. Cat the Colourful is trailing at second with +13, followed by Leverage at +8 and Banzaikitten at +6. Other notable mentions include Aleister, Mr-ex777, Lost Labyrinth Mattsnow and DungeonSiegeAddict510 who have all succeeded in avoiding the highly embarrassing score of getting +1 or less. Feel free to message the losers with negative scores and point and laugh a lot hahaha.
It shuld be no surprise that the page has been mercilessly trolled with other complete joke nominations including The Chief of AIDS and The Zombie of AIDS.

VFH smells
By Frosty
This story is nothing short of a PSA, circle-jerking with traces of vote whoring in as well. If you are reading this, you should vote on VFH. VFH voting takes very effort and makes it, at the very least appear, that we have active users. So get down there some time today and vote on all the articles. Some might say you need to actually read them first, well this is (probably) a good idea, but do bear in mind that we don't actually know if you've read it or not. And unlike, when you didn't read Hamlet in your 9th grade English class there is not going to be a surprise test on the matter.[citation needed]
You should also go vote on Frosty's article(s) currently on VFH, it's the least you could do after he SINGLE HANDEDLY wrote this terrible newspaper for you. If you don't, the length of his e-penis will decrease considerably all because he didn't get another feature on a website with a userbase smaller than an Eastern Siberian village.
Biopic This week's biopic is the user named TheRealSexyFluttershy, which just goes to show how desperate we are for biopics that we are willing to write about literally anyone who shows a vague interest or presence in the site. TheRealSexyFluttershy can be found on The Internet Relay Chats discussing things that have relevance to ponies and poopdick on a disturbingly regular basis. However, he does occasionally make the odd presence on the Wiki and even more occasionally he makes useful edits to some page or another.
If you appreciate him go to his talk page and thank him for his noble contributions in the field of poopdick, if you don't appreciate him please feel free to spam his page with poopdick (although he may start furiously masturbating).

Does this look infected to you? It's the UnSignpost![edit source]
Not that much over a year ago, TKF left us with the classic "I'm quitting forever in a highly obnoxious and auto-fellating manor". For about 66 seconds Uncyclopedians everywhere were sad, we all fapped in sadness at the loss of our beloved TKF and things were never going to be quite the same again. Then we all thought to ourselves "good riddance, I hope he contracts Anthrax and dies."
No surprise, but he has come back under the highly illusive nickname "Argylesocks" which is obviously not somebodies sockpuppet because it contains the word socks in it. I mean, if you were a sockpuppet would you give it away so easily? Flawless logic! He can also be found on IRC chatting casually under the "dcik", showing his support for "The Dyslexia Support Foundation".
Head over to his user page and talk page to find out details about his awesome "Uncyclopedia Retrospect project" which is probably some grand social experiment documenting the life and times of hopeless losers on the internet, but hey it SOUNDED COOL.------------
Forum dramaz
By Frosty
Uncyclopedia has recently had an infestation. An infestation of drama. Drama is bad mmkay? Aside from the obvious fact users get banned, users quit and people proceed to hate each other to the point where you would rub hot English Mustard into their prolapsed anus if you ever saw them in the street, drama distracts you from writing. As does reading the UnSignpost. But reading the UnSignpost is more constructive as the constant not so subliminal messaging telling you to write articles is plastered everywhere. WRITE ARTICLES.
But drama can be entertaining when coupled with cheap scotch and buttered popcorn to the humble obverser. But mainly it's bad, so stop it. No matter how funny you think your drama mongering will never compete with Asperger's Syndrome is no laughing matter... ...and the sequel rest of the trilogy.
Biopic
This week's biopic is Chaoarren, which if you haven't meet him yet... You suck basically. He can be found on IRC, occasionally editing the Wiki and frequently reporting established users to Ban patrol because "they made fun of him in his pink skirt" or "he smells funny". Chaoarren has also done the highly laughable feat of running dead last in the most vote rigged admin election in history, where losers like Kip the Dip and Colin actually stand a chance of winning losing.
He's also a noob that hasn't buggered off yet. I wish more of them were like you Chaoarren... I really do...

We gave The UnSignpost an enema, so now it's regular![edit source]
By Banzaikitten
Welcome to another no longer sporadic edition of Unsignpost. Yes, the quantity of USP's being written has gone through the roof in the last few weeks and as such there is absolutely nothing to report- hence why people who have previously never written one of these are being roped in. One thing of note that has changed is I am now an admin and as such can block RAHB with impunity. God I love to block RAHB. There is nothing quite like the fizzy rush in the root of your penis and the dizzy thrill you get in your anus when blocking RAHB. I urge all who can to try it.
But anyway, I'm an admin now and I'm going to try and be the best admin that I can be, and judging from my recent attempt at changing the featured article, and all the admins reactions to my fuck up, the best admin I can be is one who does absolutely no administration work and just writes the occasional UnNews. Thanks for all your votes.------------
RAHBs Sexuality

I know I've already spoken about RAHB but god help me I just can't stop. We all like voting and there is a very important vote occuring right now. You, yes you, could decide what sexuality RAHB is. Come the end of the vote RAHB sexuality will be decided for him and he will have to perform sexual acts of that nature for the rest of time. I'm hoping Ponies wins.
Shame on you By the curate
As the curate and the moral compass of this sinful land I must say that I have been appalled at the terrible news that my milkman brought to me. Although I don't remember his exact words, I'll try to reconstruct his speech from my memory, which - and for this I thank God - I am still honored to possess, despite my respectable age.
“ | Now, I heard Mr What's-his-name talk to his son about something he heard in the neighbor's house, which I didn't hear, but Mr. What's-his-name-again described it so well that I am positive I can repeat it almost word-by-word. So his neighbor was giving his dog its food and commenced discussing our village's events with it, Mrs. Elizabeth soon became the topic of the conversation, and she, as you know, has a daughter... And a cat. Oh, what a fine Siamese cat! But it is of no relation to our current subject. So e man and his pet chattered on and on and, apparently, that dog ... oh, I mean the man (but, you know, from a distance you really can't tell the difference) uttered that "Mrs. Elizabeth's daughter once read an educational page on the Internet, which talked about homosexuality and how you cure it." And can you guess who the author its author was? Mr. Frosty, the man who lives next door to you! | ” |
These were the words of the milkman. However, this isn't all. I was not terrified when I heard this, because teaching fellow villagers to cure an abominable disease, which homosexuality certainly is, is a commendable act from Mr. Frosty's part, especially if it was done with no impulse other than to save good Christians.
Alas, I, we have been greatly deceived in our trust! Beware of the appearances, especially when they are found on the unholy Internet!
Ah, wicked men! I, your curate, willing to help your ungrateful souls, decided to try the so-praised advice of Mr. Frosty on myself and proceeded to accomplish it yesterday. I did everything he said to the very last phrase and - I swear by the Holy Grail - it didn't work!

Vote for highlights, you giant boner goblins.
By Sir PeasewhizzWe were once surpassing the votes per article goal of 10 not much longer than a week ago. SHAME! HOW COULD WE HAVE LET THIS DROP TO NEARLY 5 OUT OF 10?! EVERYBODY, HEADS DOWN!
When I say you can put your heads up, you will all go and vote on the feature nominations. Okay? And no laughing or detention!
Yes, I copied this from the last issue of the USP, you boner goblins. That picture of gold? That was also from the last issue, as well.
Uncyclopedia App
By Anton199There has recently (a certain amount of time before the latest UnSignpost issue) been a lot of talk about creating an Uncyclopedia App as well as an Uncyclospecies. The idea consists in producing and selling the app which will transform all the human beings who use them into Uncyclopedians. The majority of the users (about 50% of those two who really participated) found this idea great (think that it is funny to talk about) and maybe even began working on it (asked someone else to think about it). Nothing else is known about them, as they disappeared soon after the first experiments were held.
The main problem this project has is that, in fact, nobody knows how to create an app. In addition to this, there is no money, as most of it was spent on Ferraris, that were supposed to bring more money but didn't. Finally, some people think that it might be harmful for the environment (nobody cares).
The project is currently being discussed (some users still post random spam on the forum) and with a certain probability the app is going to be created in nearby future (it is never going be to created but some people do think about it). Biopic Alas, an actual Biopic for SEPTEMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Today, the Biopic will be on a man who carries the identity, MrC. He was doing some hardcore crunches while he was surfing the IRC and thus we gained a little more info this is a run on sentence fuk yea murica.
His origin: "Some Uncyclopedians messed around in another channel recently. After hearing all the stories and rumors, I figured I'd like to see for myself."
So when we asked MrC if he could tell us how to get, how to get to Sesame Street, he said "I don't know... bribe Cookie Monster with a cookie?"
There you have it, words of wisdom BOOI!

Brace Yourselves, The UnSignpost is Coming![edit source]
Previously, in the past, Uncyclopedia has done a project called Uncyclopedia:Imperial Colonization, which mimics is a battle against crap-quality articles. We recently have finished the colonization of Albert Einstein, because fuck we didn't need a good article on him before amiright?
Anyways I'm telling you this because it would be soooo sweet if we could get this running again... and I kinda need Xamralco or any other admin to combine histories again because I just found out I shouldn't have moved the project myself...------------

The USP is coming for you! (and your little dog too)[edit source]
By Sir Peasewhizz
So apparently, October follows September. As we all know, Halloween follows September. This means that I get to make a suggestion, amirite?
So I was thinking long and hard one day (which was literally five minutes not twenty-four hours) about something cool we could do for Halloween this year. No, I don't mean egg your neighbor's house... I was thinking maybe we could feature something on Halloween?
Okay yes, I know this is something we basically do every year, and I know you are reading this preparing to accuse me of filling space... and you'd be right.

As we all know, a Texan man has brought the Ebola virus to the United States of America. And as country, we are all freaking out. Even Obama, who never freaks out, has freaked out. He now refuses to kiss Michelle because he has become a germophobe.
Anywho, we here at Uncyclopedia have determined that Ebola can be avoided by simple measures. We encourage everyone to wash their hands, especially after ferocious masturbation. Remember kids, diseases come for hookers. So stay away from hookers as well.

The UnSignpost is back, baby! (And also a little bit of front)[edit source]
By Sir Peasewhizz
Before time began there was the cube. Wait, hold on... yeah wrong script. Okay, let's start again. Before the internet was cool, there was no Uncyclopedia. This is because before Uncyclopedia was a website, there was this awful site for information that anybody could edit called Wikipedia. There was also catfishes and cocks.
That all changed back in 2005. When Uncyclopedia was established/founded/spawned/born/emerged/created, the internet took off. Not literally, but metaphorically... or something. The fact remains that the world, with the introduction of Unyclopedia, began to gain faith in the internet. The Amish began to use electricity after Uncyclopedia was established!
And our legacy could fade away; not unlike my basketball trick shot.
All jokes aside, Uncyclopedia may be content-free, as one could say, but it is not free to run. Uncyclopedia runs on a server and this requires money. We don't mean like the billions Obama requires, but it still needs a bit of money to be a legendary thing.
How does Wikipedia stay up then? Well, we're not Wikipedia. We're run by no employees and we're instead run by dedicated users who spend their time editing/fucking with the site that they love. Uncyclopedia is nearly ten years old, so it's not like the joy of "uncyclopediating" isn't real. It's in the Webster Dictionary.
Not every one is rich either, in fact, we're all kinda bland. Money doesn't grow on trees. Now we're not gonna hold you for ransom and we sure as hell aren't going to guilt you into donating to our cause... but think about the children that would starve without us!
Basically, read more about it here. Thanks for your time.
If you can't donate, don't. We won't force you to do something we can't ourselves.
And another thing you could do besides donate is spread the word or buy something from our store.
Anyone

I lurve seeing old timers coming back. I pasted your horoscopes into a UnNews story, and shared it on Facebook. When I wrote horoscopes, I decided it was too easy to miss the Horoscopes section (which has long been a randomised version of my hilarious quips). So I started making them like an UnNews story in their own right, you just have to date it: https://en.uncyclopedia.co/wiki/Special:Search?search=horoscopes&ns102=1&fulltext=Search+UnNews%21 Leverage (talk) 11:10, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

- So should I post this week's twelve incredible new hilarious quips in both places? Or do I leave it up to you, Leverage, to add it to UnNews proper? (and as for dating, I dated it, as I always used to, with Monday's date of the coming week - if that is unsaatisfactory, let me know and I'll comply. I'm a complier from way back. I come from a long line of compliers. My father was a complier, as was his father before him, and his father's father before him...) -- 20:25, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

UnSignpost Home Delivery for May 1st, 2021[edit source]
Following an incredible (by 2021 Uncyclopedian standards) 16 VFS votes, Uncyclopedia's most active administrator has initiated their transition to female. Said admin, now known publicly as Cassie, has had a talk page that often inflated by 80,000 bytes or more weekly, and singlehandedly managed a vast variety of things, including (but not limited to): vandal whipping, being the school principal, managing VFH, and more.
"Vandalism, eh? Fuck off already," they said, whilst throwing bags of feces at our new dumpyard.------------
Vote for Sandwiches: Triple Resignation, Quintuple the Drama
By Cassie
Following the resignation of two of our longtimemost bureaucrats, EMC and Zombiebaron, in addition to the resignation of admin CandidToaster, a new wave rejuvenated much of the now-ancient television show Vote for Sandwiches. MrX and Hipponias quickly climbed the ranks; Shabidoo received the same treatment, but ultimately withdrew. Zana Dark and JJPMaster were both nominated for a new category, interface operator, instead of the traditional sandwich role granted.
Uncyclopedia's Technologies are Finally Modernized
By Cassie
it has been a long time in the making, but Uncyclopedia's editing technologies have finally been optimized for the new decade. An introduction of a new extended-confirmed protection level has enabled famous articles, such as AAAAAAAAA!, to see the light of commoners' editing again. Utilities such as Huggle, RedWarn, CurateThisPage, autoarchiving, and a lot more has been implemented thanks to JJPMaster. Many gnomes have been working on this; as such, please treat their work with respect!
Biopic
This edition's biopic is about the joy of templating. Templating is a fine art which can be practiced on Uncyclopedia, its parody Wikipedia, and so many other places. It can furthermore be expanded to "module coding", which produces the same stuff albeit in a much more efficient and dynamic way. Come try templating now!
