Why you get blocked again while I only got blocked 12 times? I liked it when I had the more recent block. Damn it! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sawblade5 (talk • contribs) 10:07, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Is this an unspoiled talk page I see before me?[edit source]
Well, no, because you've done that "partial archive" thing. But this, therefore, still counts as a despoil. Consider yourself ruined. --UU - natter 13:01, Feb 2

Blue Ball Factory[edit source]
Thanks for your reformatting; the article has been saved from deletion (that is, saved from me). But the fact remains that the author has absolutely nothing to say about the subject, and he babbles for a few moments until it degenerates into bitching out the reader. Any ideas for this? Spıke ¬ 11:46 8-Feb-10
- I'm thinking a history of the Blue Ball Factory. How the factory was founded (by Rube Goldberg, no doubt), some huge scandals leaked to the press, how the company saved it self from the brink of failure. Perhaps there should be an explaination for why there's a demand for blue balls in the small town where it's located? The different types of blue ball manufacturing machines section should be greatly expanded as well. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 15:54, Feb. 8, 2010
I've taken a first cut at it--mostly more babble about the possible uses of blue balls, but a higher quality of babble than it had before, and I've cut out the tiny final sections where the author bitched out the reader.
On the manufacturing machines, I'd have the two side illustrations just say "Creation of blue balls" and "Deletion of blue balls"--The sales pitches now associated with the illustrations are sort of apropos of nothing. Did you know that there is a Category:Blue Ball Factory? And there are a dozen more illustrations, mostly animated GIFs. Go wild! Spıke ¬ 16:36 8-Feb-10
UnNews:Obama no longer seems special due to New Orleans Saints[edit source]
Took another pass over it, mostly to fit the illustrations around the text with less blank space. It could still use additional text if you see a theme. By the way, I enjoyed your UnNews article; I've been doing one a day for a little while. It seemed sort of like an editorial, but I am sure the Rev. Zim, who writes some opinion pieces there, has never written that Obama no longer seems special! Spıke ¬ 00:07 9-Feb-10
- Thanks! I was worried the UnNews article was boring and didn't fully capture the essence of the premise. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 00:11, Feb. 9, 2010
Could be worse! There was an article about being in Arabia during wartime; it was essentially song lyrics, and I think it got deleted. (I deleted a remnant, with red link, from {{RecentUnNews}}. And another article, about Obama making #8 on the Google list of people acquiring "Fucking" as their middle name by exasperated citizens, got an {{ICU}}.
I'm rereading yours. It stays in the "newspaper" frame and does a good job juggling two stories, the game result and the effect on Obama. It's odd, but perhaps necessary because of the double theme, that you have buried the lead (judging from the headline) in the second paragraph after a lengthy first one. Fourth paragraph (Can't trust expert opinions) made me stop and wonder whether the goal was news or opinion. The rest of the piece is straight news--but there is a way to interview the drunk brothers on their couch without inserting the reporter into the story so much.
I was ready to write a follow-up article about New Orleans and its persecution complex, citing Kanye West and the Cheney/Halliburton hurricane machine. But the Saints blew it. Spıke ¬ 00:24 9-Feb-10
- Yes, the Saints were the ones that blew it! Ha ha. Actually, I was going to write this before the Super Bowl, since I didn't think they would win, but my keyboard malfunctioned. Although I might try to convert it to an editorial after your points. Occasionally, I like to make references to "this reporter" when I write UnNewses for comedic effect. As for waiting for the second paragraph before mentioning Obama, that was for comedic effect too. You're reading about the game, and then out of no where it states that one blunt sentence all by itself. It'll probably work better if I changed the title. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 00:34, Feb. 9, 2010
No, "this reporter" is the customary way to avoid writing "I"--but neither is needed in this case. Let me take a hack at that one paragraph, which you can revert if you like. Spıke ¬ 00:40 9-Feb-10 PS--I see "this reporter" returns two paragraphs later and breaks up a family fight. Stet. Spıke ¬ 00:44 9-Feb-10
- I appreciate your help, but I'm going to go the editorial route. It makes more sense when reporting from someone's living room. I really don't want to lose the Bud Light joke. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 00:50, Feb. 9, 2010
I didn't touch that paragraph! (Stet="It stands") Spıke ¬ 00:55 9-Feb-10
- DON'T YOUR CONTRADICT ME. *breaks bottle on own head* -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 00:59, Feb. 9, 2010
Well, it's your article, but I don't like the change. Anyone can write a "This is how I feel" essay; but it is a lot more challenging to sneak forward a subversive opinion while wearing the straitjacket of an UnNews reporter. Spıke ¬ 01:55 9-Feb-10
- Good point. Let met lick me chops and tackle this again. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 02:06, Feb. 9, 2010
The Reverend is in there too, fixing typos. Spıke ¬ 02:14 9-Feb-10
Okay, I'm about to go on an editing sabbatical for a few days. I really appreciate all your help. I only ask you add the article to your watchlist in case someone adds stupid things to it during the next few days. If you need me, I'll be in the chatroom. Peace out! -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 04:55, Feb. 9, 2010- Forget all that. I changed my mind. XD -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 07:08, Feb. 9, 2010
Now this version, I like. It is firmly back in the Reporter point-of-view, but the reporter in question is demented, obsessed with interpreting every single angle of his story with a throw-away politics analogy (which is, of course, the point). Spıke ¬ 13:18 9-Feb-10
UnNews:...Freemasons disgruntled[edit source]
Good story! odd that it's the first big one on the capital's four feet of snow. Aleister fixed some typoes and I fixed some hyphens. I thought that the sentence about the guy shitting himself took the joke too far (namely, into Junior High School). I wrote the one about investigative reporters shifting from Wasilla to the Scott Brown trail. And tried my first UnNews audio (regarding the PC encryption chip). It advances the state of the art with a Teletype background. Spıke ¬ 19:35 10-Feb-10
- Thanks! The idea came to me while I was watching the news last night while the Tea Party protestors were on my mind. Tip: The sole difference between your average Conservative/Libertarian and a far-right radical is their polar opposite views of the government's competence. The thing about Frosty and Ron Paul was simply a throwaway joke I wanted to use. Ends the article on a high note, IMO. Meanwhile, your article is a good read. Mocks media's obsession with Sarah Palin and Scott Brown, who I could honestly not care less about, and the inconsequential psuedo-dirt uncovered on them. A little slow in some places, but wraps up nicely. For some reason the rented house made me chuckle. Reminds me of the low-income houses my family members and I have lived in. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 20:20, Feb. 10, 2010
Regarding "slow in some places," I tightened it up by another 3%. I was looking for a photo of the rows on rows of abandoned trailers that FEMA brought into New Orleans after Katrina, but all I got with Google was an abandoned house post-Rita. Just got a Ninja from the Reverend for the audio. Spıke ¬ 20:47 10-Feb-10

UnNews:Tiger Woods kicks off Contrition Tour[edit source]
This one's for you! An 18-hole course of hypocrisy and insincerity. Spıke ¬ 16:28 19-Feb-10
If you accept the challenge, don't forget:
- Musing about Buddhist concepts of Stoicism and frugality from the deck of the yacht Privacy
- Stone-faced businessmen surrounding him, hoping this is all it will take to repair their lucrative franchise. Spıke ¬ 16:41 19-Feb-10
- Wow, thanks! I'd love to write this article, but my weekend is absolutely swamped. You can go ahead and take this one. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 19:19, Feb. 20, 2010
- By the way, I did see that Tiger Woods apology. His phoniness made it painful to watch. I had the exact same thoughts when he mentioned Buddhist philosophy. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 19:22, Feb. 20, 2010
Romartus went first--unfortunately making the focus of his article the fact that Woods's first name resembles a kiddie cartoon character. I've now taken a shot, taking advantage of Uncyclopedia's proud tradition of allowing multiple, incompatible views of the same reality. Spıke ¬ 13:21 21-Feb-10
Thanks, ya vote appreciated[edit source]
Ya know, ya vote gave me a good push to go to dat front page yas guys control, and when I was dere da wonders I saw! tell ya dat.

Let me tell ya a quick story and den I'm outta here. My own fadda, bless his soul in hell, he used ta teach me ta say some prayers before goin' to sleep. got me dere better than countin' sheep. So I was prayin' one night and a bird flew in da window, a sparrow or some such, and landed on my bed. Next thing I looked it was gone, thought it was da fuckin' holy ghost or somephin before my dad reminded me dat I'd left a bunch of my seeds I was usin' ta stuff my sister's doll to make it look pregnant all over the bedsheet, and da fuckin' bird just came in ta steal some. Last time I prayed, tell ya dat. Fadda Murphy, dictated to and transcribed on fancy Vatican parchment by his lackey secretary Al de'chain, tell ya dat

UnNews:RecentNews[edit source]
You? WTF? That wasn't humor! Spıke ¬ 10:08 20-Mar-10
- I thought it was a good parody of the Rick Roll meme. The funny thing is, at Wikinews they're arguing that the story "isn't news"! -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 15:33, Mar. 20, 2010
- I moved to joke to here, since it's a more appropriate place. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 15:37, Mar. 20, 2010
- Yes, but it's not an appropriate thing. If you want to do an UnNews, you have to write a funny UnNews, not just write a funny headline and point to someone else's work. I see that got taken care of today. Your opinion piece, on the other hand, is excellent. Spıke ¬ 02:19 21-Mar-10

Premature burial[edit source]
Hi. Have you gotten a pee review of burial? Please nom it for VFH if you have, I'm edgy to vote for it (maybe because it happened to me, and it wasn't fun, take my word for it! Damn quick talking undertakers got me to sign a contract and next thing I know, buried!). Bury them once, that's my new motto. Aleister in Chains 20:49 20 3 mmx

Poop throwing monkeys[edit source]
Yay, poop throwing monkeys. No problem at all on VFG, I put the page up there so it will have been everywhere it could (check out its talk page). If it got 7 votes it would have been "Good", but eye of the beholder and all that. I'm just glad to whore it around so VFG gets more exposure, that's a great page and a depository of some really good articles which made "Good", some really funny stuff in that list. Al en'chain 21:14 22 3 mmx
- No problem. I think VFG has potential. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 21:16, Mar. 22, 2010
- Ah, maybe the something extra has been added. Mn-z has written a companion piece to PTM, and it is linked at the bottom of the article, which adds value to the Poop throwing monkeys page. Also a new link has been added on one of the sounds on the page. And, the categories, a story in itself! The monkeys have asked me to appeal to your better angels (they've thrown poop at my better angels, and chased them all to hell). Al in Chains 12:48 26 3 mmx

UnNews:Obama to America: "April Fools!"[edit source]
Your article, which in the Chief's absence I made the feature story, has an illustration (suggesting the mutilation and death of the President) that is at least tasteless, and more tasteless than funny. (On the UnNews Front Page, I went with what you used in {{RecentUnNews}}.) Would you care to swap in something else? Spıke ¬ 11:02 1-Apr-10
- I would never do something so disgusting as that. Are you refering to the "Why so Socialist?" picture? That's him as the Batman character the Joker! It's from the recent movie The Dark Night, in which the Joker's catchphrase is "Why so serious?" See here. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 11:21, Apr. 1, 2010
