PLS judging[edit source]
PLS Judging[edit | edit source]
I'm sending you this because you signed up to judge the Poo Lit Surprise. If you no longer want to judge or are incapable of doing so, please tell me as soon as possible. If you're still good to go then here are the instructions:
First, read all of the articles and look at all of the images submitted. Second, judge them. Judge how you like, as long as it's at least fair and based on merit (one suggestion would be to use the Pee Review format). You, as the judges, have the sole authority to pick losers, winners, and disqualify entries, so please read the PLS rules carefully before judging.
Post your top 5 entries here for all categories except the Best T-shirt Design. For the Best T-shirt Design category just say which ones should be t-shirts and which ones should not be t-shirts.
Hit me up on my talk page if you have any questions and thank you again for your valued participation in the balletic train wreck that is the Poo Lit Surprise! --EMC [TALK] 12:56 May 24 2010

Before you DQ puppy, you should see his talk page and ask him about it...[edit source]
The comment there seems to imply that he changed the images enough to technically make it his own. Also, he did change the commentary for the images, so it may be a gray line here.User:Mrthejazz/sig 07:02, June 4, 2010 (UTC) User talk:PuppyOnTheRadio/UnBooks:Where do babies come from?
- I also just realized that the "Take Your Son To Work Day" images were technically done by Jack Chick, so I might have to sleep on this. The judging will go one for a few more days, I suppose, so this is all but final. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 07:05, Jun. 4, 2010
- I guess I should have phrased my question
better. I guess I was asking where the gray line was. Like, does stamping a word on top of an existing image count as creating that image, and how much compilation of other images is needed before it counts as a new image? (In the Chick case, it's sometimes hard to tell where the edits are. This might be because they are done well, or it might be because they are done along the edges of panels.) I'd give the authors the benefit of the doubt if they say the images are edited. (Part of the reason for my question was that I realized that even though I had that book as a kid, it might not be as well known as, say, everyone poops, and so the judges might not be able to accurately judge the level of editing if they don't know the source material.) Anyway, the category's a mess, what with the extension and all. I just want my article back so I can finish it. --monika 07:17, June 4, 2010 (UTC)- Also, for the record, Strange asked ahead of time. Uncyclopedia_talk:Poo_Lit_Surprise#Illustrated_Article_Query. --monika 07:20, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Gah, this job is stressful. According to my pal Dex, an edited other person's image should be classified as a collaboration. I guess we could call it a spoof. I dunno. Give me time to sleep on it. Meanwhile, I can abstain from judging your article and let you finish it if you want. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 07:26, Jun. 4, 2010
- That's not what I want - I'd rather it be judged according to the rules (meaning, in its current state, as it was when the deadline passed) along side other articles that also followed the rules as decreed by someone with authority here. I'll finish the article after judging has passed. I've even held off copying it to my sandbox to fix the typos and finish it up so that that wouldn't influence things. Hell, I almost feel bad for uploading but not including an image I finished a bit too late. (Need to fix that image too. It was rushed.) By "I just want it back" I meant "I can't wait for this all to be over." --monika 07:31, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
- I think I second monika here, but it's hard to sort through too, I undestand. I'm probably technically DQed too. Good luck figuring it out, however you decide. I didn't really invest my ego in this article, so I won't be hurt whatever happens.User:Mrthejazz/sig 07:35, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. This was generally a turd of a PLS. Despite this, tomorrow I will continue where I left off and critique the articles thoroughly. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 07:43, Jun. 4, 2010

- I guess I should have phrased my question
- I made a further comment on the PLS talk page. It's grey line in as much as I found the images as hard copy and then digitised them, did some work on them, and then put them together in an original context. I would have preferred that you ask me about it directly, either on my talk page or on the talk page for the article, as Monika had. Nominally Humane! some time Friday, 09:51, Jun 4 2010 UTC
- Yeah, I should have did that. Now that I've slept on it (literally, I printed it out 100 copies and used them as bed sheets), I've made the decision to declare it a spoof. No need for all the hard work put into it and the overall hilarity of the writing to be wasted. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 03:22, Jun. 5, 2010
Indigestion Maintenance[edit source]
Since you seem to be the chap bothering to maintain it, you'll be very pleased to know I've made the whole process practically painless, here's the low-down:
- Go to the edit page for the month's archive... such as UnNews:Archive/October 2010
- Simply add {{UnNews:ArchiveGenesis|October|2010}} to the page's content (where October is the appropriate month and 2010 is the appropriate year) and save it.
- Update UnNews:Archive to link to the newly created page.
- Profit.
Do note that I've done away with title links to specific dates in the archive because they are, for all intents and purposes, useless. -- Prof. Olipro KUN (W)Anchor Op Bur. (Harass) 13:36, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

This person was a judge for The Article Whisperer Competition (2010). The community would like to thank them for their contribution. (See you at next week's meeting guys!) |
And thanks for your vote[edit source]
On Cemetery, glad you liked it. Did you click on the links? (hee hee) I was hoping you'd get up a halloween week page too, and love and am jealous of your signature. Would you mind giving a read to My Daddy Has Two Yachts? (way at the end of the VFH que, it's picked up a few votes in the last couple of days and thus has been raised from the dead) to see if you like it? Halloweeney enough in it's own right (at least it scares me, and I'm not even a psychopath Don't let my psychiatrist or any of my former and/or departed friends see this.). Thanks again! Just plain Aleister jealous of your sig. Sigh. 13:10 25 10
- That link gimmick was fucking awesome. Not only do your articles never fail to deliver, the formatting takes it to whole 'nother levels. You're like the James Cameron of Uncyc articles. Yeah, I wanted to write at least one Halloween article, but I've been ridiculously busy. I had so many ideas, too:
- When A Stranger Tweets
- Vampires for Jesus
- HowTo:Sell your Soul
- HowTo:Avoid getting abducted by the pedophile on your street while trick-or-treating
- UnBooks:The Complete Idiot's Guide to Monster Hunting, by Van Helsing
- An UnBook short story in which Vlad the Impaler was a suppressed homosexual, as a parody of the Twilight phenomenon
- Why?:It's perfectly acceptable to have an annual Halloween special in November (The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror rant)
- UnNews:Historian claims the Phantom of the Opera was gay
- The Phantom of the Mens Room (This one actually came to me in a dream)
- It Was A Great Blumpkin, Charlie Brown!
- Luckily I'm not going anywhere, so most likely next year. In the meantime, I shall whore my premature feature. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 09:41, Oct. 27, 2010
- (By the way, if you can find a better "Beer up close to look like piss" image, I'd appreciate it.) -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 09:41, Oct. 27, 2010
- Whoa, I just came back here. Thanks for the compliments! I shall print them out and frame them, and send them out as Christmas cards. Love your ideas (the list is an article in itself, if Uncy wasn't so down on lists). Many of those are very doable and worth doing. I never thought of it, but pedophiles must love Halloween, all the little children coming to them! I'll look at the pic in question, and see where my mind takes me. To little children, hopefully. Aleister 10:35 28 10
- Here are two possibilities. That one includes a guy who had a real premature burial. The other is Apple juice. Yummmmm. Al, a few minutes later.
- The pee cross is hilarious, but the context calls for the apple juice. Thanks! So simple, yet so complicated at the time. I always hated that shitty image I used in the section, but I had to quickly slap it together the night before the feature. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 10:56, Oct. 28, 2010

Blumpkin[edit source]
Happy Halloween!! And gross. Charlie Brown dreams of a blumpkin, and lies about getting one (hell, I get blumpkins every day. Can't take a crap without it, by bowels are so used to it.) . Good page, if you can stand it. Maniac1075 might enjoy the page (have you hung out with him? One of our most interesting people here). I hope that Charlie gets his blumpkin someday, and I wonder how many people are members of the mile-high-blumpkin club? Grosssss. Nice. Aleister 16:24 Samhain MMX
Christmas[edit source]
The best Christmas header on any wiki, very nice. And nice sig too. The ghosts of Christmas will sure visit you this year! Have you seen some users, I don't even know who wrote it, UnPoetia:Twas The Night Before Christmas...in Croatia? I asked Funnybony to do an audio for it, and probably needs a pic or two (I'll see if SPIKE has a pic for it, he worked on the Croatia page at length), but it's one I enjoyed. 12 days of. . .Aleister 17:34 3 12
- I wasn't quite sure where Croatia was. I had to look it up. That poem is... weird. Funny words are funny. Personally, I think nothing can beat Smuggler's. It seems like The Night Before Christmas has parodied to death. Therefore, I've let a fictional militant asantist piss all over the original this year. Yah! Bumhug! -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 02:15, Dec. 4, 2010
- Just saw your Pissed off Jesus pic, great! Lots of users are going all out for Christmas this year. I'll read the links you left. And I think Croatia is just to the left of Saudi Arabia, or will be when the Croatian troops get done with it! Aleister 11:55 5 12
- Your page is funny as hell on fire! I only read the annotated poem, genius, and more to come I see, and will read the entire page later. Read Smuggler's last week, very funny and may have edged up to my favorites list, which is sparse. Thanks for doing what you do, the Annotated page has so much promise Santa should be shittin' his pants. More later, Aleister 12:02 5 11
- I also just finished (for now, maybe) my Hanukkah page I showed you earlier this year. It puts the "crazy" back in "Eight Crazy Nights". -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 12:41, Dec. 5, 2010
- That too, yes, I'll read it again! The holidays are kickin', DrStrange's regifting just came up again. Just researched the Croatian UnPoetia, and it's a total spork, thieved from somewhere by a red link name user who put it on the Croatian page. Should be VFD'ed. Thieves in the night.

- YOU need a pee review? Bah! I've been waiting for two reviews for over a week. I've asked repeatedly "What's a nigga gotta do to get a pee review?" The PR seems to be running slowly. Yeah, I might give your article a review, but you're on your own in alerting the other users. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 17:42, Dec. 11, 2010
- If you don't get the Santa page reviewed, I'd be glad to nom it. It may need a couple of more items to fill up the white holes in the annotated section, and just a couple of commas and things, but is a very good page and should be put up soon to be available for featuring near or on Christmas. Thanks for the vote on Festivus too! (and, since I'm here, a holiday whore for this one that a user unexpectedly nommed on me). Ho de ho ho. Aleister 14:19 16 12
- Thanks. I'm too humble to ask someone for a review and nominate my own article. I'm hoping for it to be nominated by the 20th. One thing I loathe is holiday articles being featured after the appropriate holiday. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 05:57, Dec. 17, 2010

Skeptic's Annotated Santa[edit source]
There is a gap in the annotations. Can I make this suggestion?:-
More rapid than eagles Reindeer can run fast but not quick enough to stay airbourne as this flouts some fundamental laws of gravity and aerodynamics. It may also mean the observer was as high as a kite.
I didn't want to put this in until running it past you first. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 09:26, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
- I dunno. I have my heart set on the simple and bluntly stated, "Rein. Deer. Can. NOT. FLYYYYY!!" He's not actually trying to debunk it so much as he's generally pissed off at the ridiculous assertion, which is so fundamental to the Santa story.
- What is this gap of which you speak? Is it a formatting thing? -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 09:39, Dec. 18, 2010
- I noticed the More rapid than eagles line is before the one I was thinking of. Yeah, I'll see if I can stick your suggestion in there. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 09:43, Dec. 18, 2010
- Can eagles fly faster than reindeer run through the sky? We ask a scientist working for the National Geographic Channel...it was something along the lines of scientific absurdity. Great article all the same. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 09:50, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

User:Kip the Dip/UnNews:U.S. national debt reaches $14 trillion[edit source]
Back to userspace for further development. This is a picture essay, not yet an UnNews. The point seems to be that your favorite president is serious about the debt and your non-favorite ex-president was not; if developed in words and related to the source and funny, that might be an UnNews. Spıke ¬ 00:03 6-Jan-11
- Barack Obama is NOT my favorite president, nor does he care about the debt. Let's make that clear. Secondly, it was kind of a quick one picture non-article, like this. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 06:37, Jan. 6, 2011
Damn! my search for anyone who will admit to actually voting for the bastard continues. I wasn't tickled by Dog Shit either--it was more ridicule than humor, and utterly fails to fit the format of an article you might see on a real web site, but did have a bit of Emperor-has-no-clothes theme to it. National Debt might work as an UnFunnies, but that department is more or less on autopilot since Zim left. Spıke ¬ 10:03 6-Jan-11
- Dog shit was something ridiculous, crude, and silly I did to kick off the new year. Making Biden further look like a fool, while playing off his tendency to swear. National Debt was something really, really stupid I just slapped together. The only way I can think to expand it would add more photos for an ongoing dialogue between the two presidents, perhaps the two arguing who really ruined America's economy. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 10:18, Jan. 6, 2011
- Or perhaps a modified UnNews version of The Onion's classic American Voices. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 10:22, Jan. 6, 2011
Although our current statesmen make it effortless, ridicule is only the first step to humor, and an article or UnNews that simply makes someone look stupid--as though they needed our help--is incomplete. Finger-pointing between Bush and Obama would have to be very clever to tell it apart from the stuff their proxies throw at us every day. Spıke ¬ 10:47 6-Jan-11

- My own excuse for laughing was that I found it funny from the point of view that a person who is suddenly concerned because he's discovered that his testicle is falling off then, instead of seeking medical help, writes a news article about it. I'm lol again writing this. The fellows first reaction is to write a news article and post a picture. Do you think Cronkite would have done that? Jennings? Icke (well, yeah, Icke). Imitations won't be as funny, although the sneeze thing is pretty good, because the initial joke to me is that this was reported at all, and is the first reaction of the reporter to file a story. And well written. But I would say this type of thing is a one-time joke and maybe shouldn't be a weekly or daily occurance. Although I do feel the urge to report on my reaction to the story. Aleister 13:14 12 1 '11
- It fails writes a news article about it because it doesn't read like news. If this were the goal, you would have started: "In a sudden development, this reporter's left testicle...." But I suspect the goal is merely to see how much crap you can get into UnNews. Spıke ¬ 13:30 12-Jan-11
- Of course if fails the UnNews format. I'm just saying what I was laughing about, and why it was funny to me. Kip, would you mind if a short first sentence lead tweak were applied as SPIKE suggests? Then the story could stay the same from there? Maybe then the Foolitzer Prize awaits???? (naw, that username guy should have that wrapped up by now) Aleister 13:36 12 1 '11
- I was thinking more along the lines of a large, whole-article tweak, if you are behind the goal of making it read like news. Spıke ¬ 13:42 12-Jan-11
- No. I would be willing to change it to an editorial, but that's it. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 18:51, Jan. 12, 2011
Gonzo journalism at its finest. --EMC [TALK] 14:13 Jan 12 2011
- Iz agree with EMC. It breaks new ground. A first half-line serious news, and then keep the rest as is as the reporter realizes his prediciment but keeps on typing, may be funniest. But it is actually OK as is, as long as the trend stops after a few of these. People should have fun, and Kip is having fun with this page, so I personally don't see a problem. You don't have to move it onto the main story list, it's a good under-the-fold article, no? Aleister 14:22 12 1 '11
- e|m|c, even Gonzo journalism implies journalism, a relation between the reporter and his readers, not a relation between him and his nuts. Al, you will do it right--and not as "right" as I would do it--but wait a couple hours for Kip (in Texas?) to wake up and comment. Spıke ¬ 14:30 12-Jan-11
Aleister, thank you for actually explaining it; although I worry that that was not what Kip had in mind, either, it is still reassuring. But Kip, at very least, please - reassure me as well that you are not falling back on whatever led you to this. You're a good writer an usually a pretty lovely fellow to have around... most of the time, so if you are indeed testing bounds purely for the sake of testing bounds, please stop before this gets any more out of hand than it has already. Otherwise, could you at least be more careful with such things? Answer the gorram question in plain words; what was your intent? ~ 15:59, 12 January 2011
- I assure you, I'm not falling back into my old ways. That Kip was a dick just for the sake of being a dick. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 18:51, Jan. 12, 2011
- Lyrithya and the rest - let's all back off here. Kip doesn't need to reassure or to promise anything in this case. He wrote something that is not considered to be funny with some of the regular contributors. It happened before, it will happen again. The VFD vote, before I closed it, was clearly going against it and nothing will happen if we have something with...er....balls hanging of it, every now and then - even in UnNews. Let's all relax and go back to our lives, and if it still disturbs you that much nominate it to VFD again for the full duration in a few days. Let's end this episode please. ~ 16:23, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Per Modrillo. You have my blessing to nominate it for VFD again. XD -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 18:51, Jan. 12, 2011
- *hits Kip and whoever the other person was with a frying pan for the edit conflicts*
- Hmm... sorry about that, Kip. I plead paranoia, but I really shouldn't have brought that up... apologies. However I am still rather cranky at you and make no apologies for the frying pan, nor promises not to completely overreact again if something like this happens again... *shifty eyes* As for what happened on VFD, meh, enough folks want it, all you'll get from me are complaints, and I give those freely anyway. For instance, your talkpage has too many words one it. It needs more numbers. ~ 18:59, 12 January 2011

Explaination[edit source]
Enough of my Tom Foolishness. I've had my fun, now I will explain my motives behind writing this UnNews article.
For one thing, I was bored. "Oh crap, I think my left nut partially detached. No wait, I can still pull it up into my body without screaming." was a joke I used on IRC not long ago, and I thought to myself, Hmm, I wonder if I could flesh this out to a full article. Considering ten years ago next month I actually did have a testicle ingury, it also served as a little personally tribute. I gave it the UnNews format because I felt it gave it maximal hilarity.
Yes, part of my intention was shock value. I knew it would cause a minor hub-bub, particularly among the powers that be at UnNews. Thus, what I really attempted to satire was the reaction. It was to make a mark in the ongoing debate of Uncyclopedia's standards.
This article is crude, childish, lowbrow, and not particularly clever or satirical. People feel the need to ask me why it's funny. Wo shy is it funny? Because it's so silly. It's an absurd topic, and it's written in a style that hopefully leads to the point that it provokes laughter. This is the definition of humor. It's also because it goes against normal UnNews style that makes it even more absurd.
We, at Uncyclopedia, adhere to the sacred document How to be Funny and Not Just stupid. It's a wonderful document that outlines comedy to a science. However, we've strayed from this in the past. Look at Fisher Price, for example. What the hell is up with that? That's not an article, that's vandalism. We delete stuff like this every day on QVFD. Yet this one stayed. Why? Because many at the time found it funny, and it's become a classic. It's written in just the right tone that it works. It has the title of a toy company, and the only says "go eat shit fuckers". How absurd, indeed! Goes against convention = funny. That's the essence of many of these crappy in-jokey articles. Also, let's not ignore the fact that these in-jokes usually gives birth to many spin-offs and spoofs. This shows that there's something there. There's an essence ripe for humor. This is what I love about Uncyclopedia. It can make a joke about anything.
[See also: Euroipods, Dan Kwon, My sojourn.]
While we're on the delightful subject of eating shit...
Perhaps in-jokes are exceptional and not a good example. Let's then look at the relatively recent I eat my own shit, written by e|m|c. It completely goes against HTBFANJS's rule against crudeness. Yet, again, many found it funny. It isn't just "HAHA he eats his shit." No. There's an actual narrative there that makes it original and somewhat clever. A number of Uncyclopedians like it, a number don't. Many of us are simply in-touch with our inner 8 year old.
[See also: South Park, a wonderful animated program on Comedy Central that combines smart social commentary with occasional poo jokes.]
This is the overall point I wish to make: Humor is subjective. We can debate, vote, and flame until Doomsday, but time and time again we find that if enough people find something funny, it stays. I'm surprised a fellow libertarian such as SPIKE fails to see the inherent spontanous order in a wiki. Perhaps he's more of a constitutionalist, while the leftists I hang around with have rubbed off on me. Free markets, democracy, whatever. It's all good in hood.
Now I would never advocate that Uncyclopedians stop trying to be witty and clever and just churn out cheap lowbrow bollocks. (I fucking hate Encyclopedia Dramatica, by the way.) But, even as a parody of Wikipedia, we should keep in mind the relaxed nature of humor. Moreso, a comedy wiki of all things should not be afraid to experiment and go against convention once in a while.
[See also: Stephen Colbert. The article, not the comedian, though I recommend him, too.]
Thank you! I will now return to writing things no one reads. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 20:50, Jan. 12, 2011
- Your talkpage still doesn't have enough numbers. ~ 21:06, 12 January 2011
- Also, thank you for that. Grumblingly, but thank you. ~ 22:23, 12 January 2011
We were trolled[edit source]
I didn't oppose it because of fear "to experiment and go against convention." I opposed it because, as you first verbalized above, "It's stupid, absurd, childish and border-line...tasteless." I looked for second opinions on IRC and then brought my objections to you first. I do defend the convention that UnNewses should superficially resemble news stories--and above all the commitment to humor and the "ignorable policy" concept that says that fine writing excuses all evils. This one wasn't it. But offbeat essays like this occur all the time in mainspace, and I never bring them to VFD because of subtlety; they have to be really crap.
(Separately, libertarians don't claim that the freest society would have every club, business, or military unit organized to maximize liberty--only that every person have liberty not to associate with groups not to their liking. I appreciate multiple propane dealers, but select one where drivers are not free not to punch in if they aren't in the mood that day.)
The Explaination above confirms that this exercise was not about writing good stuff but about trolling the "powers that be at UnNews" (of which I seem to be the only one left). Spıke ¬ 23:30 12-Jan-11
- I would like to point out that mere hours after I posted the above, my isp software crapped out on me. I still might have problems with it. Call it karmaic justice.
- Now, an answer to SPIKE, to the contrary. I actually find the article, although lowbrow, an extremely hilarious concept. I have love for all my articles, with the exception of one or two.
- Secondly, you're focusing on the wrong part. This wasn't so much simple trolling on part, but an experiment in humor. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have tied it to jackassery. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 06:34, Jan. 14, 2011
I have no problem with the concept--first-person essays are all over Uncyclopedia. But it isn't about news, you resisted the advice on making it read like news, and so there is no connection to news. When this happens, whoever it is, I just assume he wants to use the Recent news column to hump a newly written page.
The page is there, it's not going to VFD, it's not going anywhere, it now has an Audio, and it's on its way to becoming an Uncyclopedia meme. Mordillo got sick of the debate yesterday, and I am sick of it now, and might almost return to writing content today. Indeed, when not just trolling, always avoid making it look so. Spıke ¬ 13:11 14-Jan-11
- Bah! This was manufactured. Memes don't work that way. At least, I don't think. I slept and cheated through all my Internets classes.
- I don't see how it still couldn't go for a round on VFD.
- Thirdly, if it's any consolation, I have plans to write an intelligent editorial about Martin Luther King this weekend. That should balance out the natural harmony in the uncycloverse.
- Finally, I apologize for the jackassery on my part. We don't always see eye to eye, but let it be known that I respect you. I will now quit while I'm ahead. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 20:27, Jan. 14, 2011
Negative liberty[edit source]
moved here from the previous section
The above concept of liberty SPIKE points out is Freedom from Everyone Else - a form of negative liberty. This is totally irrelevant to testicles articles, but I wanted to reference it. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 06:34, Jan. 14, 2011
- All "natural rights" are negative. (Obama famously chafed at this during the 2008 campaign.) If government does any more than keep me free of your trespass, it is granting me a new, non-natural right that implies a duty on someone else. Spıke ¬ 13:11 14-Jan-11
- So life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can be reduced to not being killed, not being imprisonned and not being forced to be sad? 13:19, 14 January 2011
- The assertion in the Declaration of Independence does indicate that the purpose of the US government was to ensure natural rights. Happiness is not the goal but the pursuit--cited often by scholars who assert that the government should concern itself with equal opportunity not equal results. "Happiness" means not smiles but pursuit of individual goals--to the extent that they don't impinge on others. Smiles was left in anticipation of Uncyclopedia. Spıke ¬ 13:24 14-Jan-11
Yay! I've started up a debate on liberty and rights! -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 20:21, Jan. 14, 2011
Precedent for "Testicle"[edit source]
I just worked out what it reminded me of. UnNews:Man suffers caffeine underdose. Completely not UnNews in tone, but still one of my favourite UnNews articles ever. Nominally Humane! some time Friday, 14:05, Jan 14 2011 UTC
UnNews:Printer software perform not operation possible[edit source]
On the other hand, this contribution today did a better job at breaking some of the "rules" but still maintaining the facade of a news report. Spıke ¬ 01:52 15-Jan-11
- I'm not seeing it. That's more news report-lite. I would consider truly untraditional to be UnNews:5th period Chemistry sub is a total bitch (not the profanity part). -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 04:50, Jan. 15, 2011
- I have to say something here. Do you know why Colbert and Moore use humour instead of just saying "This is wrong?" It's because comedy is about breaking social conventions and in breaking them you can say the things that are otherwise unspoken. So by turning down a contribution here by saying "It's not in line with the convention" we remove some of our own power, and weaken the wiki. We are not "the wiki anyone can edit ad long as they follow certain rules." Yes, we do remove poor quality articles, but to remove this because it's not "news-like" is extremely counter-productive. Nominally Humane! some time Saturday, 05:41, Jan 15 2011 UTC
Crap. It seems the debate is starting up again. Let me just throw this out there, as I'm getting pretty sick of this myself.
If I recall correctly, SPIKE had absolutely no problem with UnNews:That chocolate Easter egg was terrible. In fact, it was made the main UnNews page header story without even a peep (ha, get it?) of controversary. Easter egg is certainly not normal news-like, not the mention the punchline is [SPOILER ALERT] eating human feces. Dare I ask maybe the real beef here is the perceived quality of the testicles article? -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 06:00, Jan. 15, 2011
- Could be; who knows... but I'm having this urge to copy over some of Zim's IllogiNews and remarket them here as UnNews just to see if anyone explodes. Now those are weird. ~ 18:04, 18 January 2011
Thanks![edit source]
Thanks for your kind vote and comments on the writer contest thing. That was very nice, and like I've said to others, it is both humbling and shocking to see nice comments like that. Very appreciated. And all that stuff above, I'm going to have to come back next time I log on and read the blocks of text. It seems to be about eating human feces, so count me in BYOB. Extreme-Thanks again! Aleister 4:14 19-1-'11
UnNews:Rand Paul calls for defunding Israel in the name of Aqua Buddha[edit source]
I edited this to make the initial description of Rand more conventional--no one outside banquets refers to the "junior" Senator (or did you mean to emphasize "newly elected"?). I have other quibbles with this story, none of which rise to the level of doing anything about them. Headline is very long, but I don't see what to do about it: You need Rand's first name for disambiguation, and "in the name of Aqua Buddha" could go, but it's helpful to explain the theme.
Separately, although the story succeeds in ridiculing him, there are ten thousand political operatives in Washington paid to do the same thing. Aqua Buddha? apropos of what? I put the photo on the Uncyclopedia main page, but am still wrestling with how to write a feature paragraph for the Front Page that packs a punch. Spıke ¬ 14:10 31-Jan-11
- Yes, "newly elected" is what I meant. I should probably add that in there to emphasize a point of his freshness in government and the possibility of quirky ideas. The "Aqua Buddha" thing is a reference to a campaign attack last fall, in which Paul was a member of a fraternity in college, in which they allegedly kidnapped a girl, tied her up, forced her to hit a bong and worship an idol called "Aqua Buddha." I find great comic potential in the story. Other than that, there's no real attack on Paul or his policies. I support his efforts to end foreign aid, which includes aid to Israel and her enemies. If anything, I was spoofing the media's forced narrative that Paul only wants to end aid to Israel by taking it to an extreme nonsensical situation.
- Meanwhile, I have absolutely no problem with the title. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 14:24, Jan. 31, 2011
I did not remember the frat-house story and made no connection to Aqua Buddha. In that case, it's excellent, except for my memory. I'll add a sentence of background to stir memories and you can do with it what you like. To be clear, there is absolutely no rule against ridiculing politicians whom I like, whether what they did in real life is wise or stupid; I just didn't see the connection and thus it resembled a stock political hatchet-job. Again, I don't mind the title either, only its length, and I see no easy remedy. Spıke ¬ 15:15 31-Jan-11
- You could always cut "in the name of Aqua Buddha" out of the title. I simply prefer it to stay because I find it funny. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 15:18, Jan. 31, 2011
I did, in the headline in the 1-Spot on the Front Page, but I did not change the name of the page. Spıke ¬ 15:27 31-Jan-11
- Marvelous! I'm going to take a nap now. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 15:37, Jan. 31, 2011
UnNews:Black Eyed Peas to do Super Bowl Halftime Show[edit source]
You are in the 1-Spot. Wise of you to anticipate that I might be unfamiliar with their song lyrics and react to the use of the first person--but, in this case, I knew what you were doing. Spıke ¬ 11:29 5-Feb-11
- I'm #1! Dirty bit. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 11:32, Feb. 5, 2011
Arlington, huh? Other things you might do: Incorporate the bladder malfunction into the article, perhaps using some of the final paragraph as the caption; and/or shorten the headline, as I did in the feature graphic. Spıke ¬ 13:24 5-Feb-11
- I can't think of anyway it would fit and look good, unless I pulled an Aleister in Chains: "bladder malfunction" -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 13:35, Feb. 5, 2011
That works; thumb|left
would have worked too. (Paragraphs containing an in-line pop-up are rendered without the usual <P>
container, which under my local rules makes them look awful on my screen if in the final position. But that's not your problem.) Spıke ¬ 13:54 5-Feb-11
- I could care less if it's "my problem." What about the six or seven other people who read it? -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 13:56, Feb. 5, 2011
They are not using my local CSS rules. I've complained about this before, and nothing's been done, so I'm not sure anyone else sees a difference. Spıke ¬ 14:01 5-Feb-11
Madison[edit source]
I must read your page more closely. SPIKE asked me to check in with you on ideas. I was thinking of doing a "celebrities-come-to-Madison for the Madison Movement" page (I'm calling it the Madison Movement, which is what it will be known as soon, maybe you can add that to your page if it isn't already), would that be alright with you and your plans? I'm hoping Funnybony puts up an article on the movement too. More soon, and from a quick run-thru your page looks very good. Aleister 12:14 20-2-'11
- Funnybony took his shot for the day--A spork-and-negate from Peru that I reworked and put in the 1-Spot. "Do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good," set a deadline for yourself and Publish!!! Sigh, do you remember when we used to synchronize in the UnNews:Newsroom? Do you remember when people used to even read it? Spıke ¬ 12:21 20-Feb-11
- Yeah, I'll finish mine sometime today. I'm working on the general flow and the jokes. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 17:44, Feb. 20, 2011
- Two good things to work on! If it's as good as the draft, it will go in the 3-Spot, to the right of Aleister. Do not use the move tab! You have been working on this for so long that it will appear nowhere near the top of the Recent news. Create a new UnNews, I hope considering my suggestions on the title, and copy-paste your text into it. Spıke ¬ 17:58 20-Feb-11
It's installed[edit source]
in the 3-Spot, and I told you so. The new photo does not work as a thumbnail on the Front Page, and the headline informs readers that they are one click away from reading about--ideology. Ugh! Spıke ¬ 13:08 21-Feb-11
- I'm not changing the page's title, though I encourage you to change the words on the news page to "Civil war hits Wisconsin" to make it sound more exciting. I'm simply worried readers will be dissappointed that the article isn't about a literal civil war in Wisconsin, like my own USS Enterprise misconception. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 16:15, Feb. 21, 2011
The Front Page is changed. Do you especially want me not to rename the page? Do you think anyone cares whether an UnNews headline is factually misleading? Your (our) disappointment on the USS Enterprise headline was not on the adequacy of the headline but that the accompanying story did not use an obvious humor line. Your article doesn't have that problem. (On the USS Enterprise, meanwhile, Anon has changed the photo of the Enterprise suitably. But his work on the text was random--for example, replacing Jesse Jackson with Christ and Hitler, and I reverted him on that.) Spıke ¬ 16:26 21-Feb-11
- Fine. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 16:41, Feb. 21, 2011
- Nothing personal, but your page seems slanted to the cause of the fucking governor and the rest of the establishments hencemen in the Wisconsin assembly and senate (I'm not neutral on this one, knowing politics and the aims of the Republican Party quite well. It would be like being neutral in the civil rights movement of the '60s), so I cannot support it on VFH. I tried to humour up my own page enough to take the edge off, but still to get political satire across - an honored form of satire - and so we may be at odds on this one. On your next page, buddies again, but I beat the drum for the unions and the hippies on this one. Aleister 00:53 22-2-'11
Kip, thanks for the better crop of the poster photo; that solves the problem. Aleister, for you to call political writing slanted is like claiming that everyone else has an accent. Kip did emphasize humor over polemic--which your own first draft didn't--and did not spare the Republicans from the skewer. Please don't vote against an article out of beating the drum for anyone. Pass judgement on the humor only. Spıke ¬ 01:01 22-Feb-11
- My article is proudly slanted. As Lawerance O'Donnell just said on MSNBC, for the governor and the GOP to win would mean the end of the labor movement, and this is preorganized by the GOP and others and this is not a little thing. It is a watershed moment, and political satire is usually slanted. The humour on the pro-union bashing article is like voting for one of our racist articles because they are funny. Aleister 1:07 22-2-'11
Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Matthews, and Keith Olbermann are not statesmen, and your "proud" slanting is using UnNews to propagandize. For one of the 50 states to insist that state workers co-pay for health insurance and for some of their pension expenses is a "giveback," not the end of an era; likewise losing the power to negotiate wages and benefits, except under the principle of, "What's mine is mine, what's yours is--negotiable!" Yes, the GOP tends to be as anti-union as the Democrats tend to be pro-union. That does not require you to have priorities on this web site above that of making people laugh. Spıke ¬ 01:13 22-Feb-11
- Have you ever seen my possibly very funny racist article? People would laugh, but it's not featurabe nor would I vote for it. And you apparantly have missed the news the last couple of days, the unions have given in to all the governor's financial demands, they just ask that the union busting laws be taken out of the bill. No dice. The gop is using the bill to kill America's public employee unions. And Kip's article is also propagandizing, neither mine nor his should be featureable, no matter how well written or funny (and your page is very well written, Kip) Aleister 1:29 22-2-'11
I say on VFH that they should both be featured together--though Kip's is clearly the less ideological. Spıke ¬ 01:31 22-Feb-11
- We don't need to fight the fight here on Uncy, but it is an indication of the importance of the issue. I was actually shcoked that Gov. Walker and the GOP would bring their agenda to Madison. I knew what would occur, and my serious estimate of 80,000 people in my article was written when there were maybe 8,000 "protesting". Now it has been met. And I really don't know what's going to happen if the bill passes, the national guard may be needed. These are my people, so I am biased while at the same time probably accurate in my opinion that if Uncy wants to stay non-political (i.e. boring. Political satire is a treasured form of satire, and most news items on Saturday Night Live, etc., stand-up comedy, etc. are poltical, so why do you see it as a negative?) it is missing much of its potential. Oh well. Aleister 1:41 22-2-'11
Kip, it's the next day and I realize I'm being kind of a jerk here. You wrote a good page, and what I really would like to do is be in Madison for the duration. So I'm emoting where it's inappropriate. SPIKE is a fascist, sure, that egged me on (*coughs* brownshirt *coughs*) but even he deserves a little respect. Teensy weensy little, sure, but his opinion counts, so maybe I stepped over a line here. I'll try to replace the line with chalk or something. Alesiter 12:18 22-2-'11
eh?[edit source]
What in Satan's glorious name is going on here? I go away for a day and all hell breaks loose. Let's clear the air: I am indeed a fiscal conservative right-libertarian, though my heavy studies in political science has made me somewhat of a radical centrist in my approach to the issues and society. While I am 100% in favor of the right for workers to unionize when their boss is being a dick, I still don't like government meddling in economic affairs. (FDR didn't like government mixed in with Labor either, but I digress.)
While I was certainly advocating my own opinions on the subject, I tried my best to be an equal opportunity offender for the sake of fairness and humor. Not only did I stick it to the Left, I stuck it hard to pretty much everyone else involved in the debate, including libertarians in "I. T. Bagwell", a character loosely based off of myself. This story has fascists, communists, anarchists and above all, morons. Every side is an extremist caricature of real life. Isn't this what satire is all about? Perhaps too much of my satirical influence comes from years of watching South Park.
Yes, I realize this is a touchy issue, and perhaps I threw gasoline on the flames myself, but if everyone will stop being drama queens and chill the fuck out, we can be constructive about this. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 17:44, Feb. 22, 2011

- I changed my vote. Overreacted, went too far, and was a dick. That aside, fuck the lot of you, I hope some 6'6" union guy finds all of you in one place and shows you what it really means to look for the union label. Aleister 00:43 24-2-'11

Foolitzer Prize Winner February 2011 | |
Not entirely sure what all that means, but... people like your craziness, so well done, mon. ~ 03:50, 1 March 2011

Never dipped a Lollipop in a dip[edit source]
We've never collaborated before. I just collaborated with Shabidoo to make Stupid Cats. I have a few other good articles I want to do, you want to collab? -- Lollipop 20:19, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Well, I'm not a big fan of collabs. However, I would consider it, but my ISP crapped out on me, making my internet access very limited. (I'm currently using the public library's computer.) So, sorry. :^( -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 20:24, Mar. 1, 2011
- It's okay. I'll collab with Shabidoo or Aleister or Magic man. -- Lollipop 20:28, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Or all three at once! Aleister

Thanks![edit source]
Thanks for your vote on the Madison page, and your nice words. I did violate rule 2 (and maybe 3) though, you know it when you do and I did. Kick me. Thank you sir, can I have another. Too bad about your internet, hopefully it returns. Ghost in the machines. And tons of congrats on the Foolitzer, that's a major prize here, and a tuff one to get with all the competition from the regulars like SPIKE and Funnybony. Well, I better go search down my Happy Monkey topic, the contest is an hour and more old, so I best jump on in. Thanks again!!! Aleister 23:15 1-3-'11
- p.s. Duh. The contest is tomorrow, not today. It's lucky I can count the fingers on my foot. Al.
Uncyclopedia:VFH/UnNews:Lady GaGa and Goo Goo Dolls team up for world tour[edit source]
Thanks for the additional information. If the entire humor were plagiarized, I'd withdraw my nom and vote and take it to VFD. As it stands, the article is a confection that pleases me even if that line is stolen and would embarrass us if it hit the main page. So I'll let my vote stand and it looks like it will fail VFH anyway. If you feel more strongly, I'm all ears. Spıke ¬ 22:31 4-Mar-11
- I doubt it was stolen. The joke is simply so obvious that it's not improbable that someone else would think of it. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 22:36, Mar. 4, 2011

Problem with Conservapedia reskin[edit source]
Whenever I try to access Conservapedia, it says:
" Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
"
So what am I supposed to know? About it?
- LOL vandalz 19:09, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Conservapedia is a wiki encyclopedia for Christian children being homeschooled. It's meant to serve as an alternative to Wikipedia, since the creator believes Wikipedia has a left-wing, anti-Christian and anti-American bias. It's entirely written from the heavily biased perspective of American Conservative Christians, making it ironic and funny. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 19:18, Mar. 31, 2011
So, Even though I have never been able to visit the site before, I can guess it looks a bit like this:
"
Welcome to Conservapedia.
38,493 in American-English.
Today's featured article: Why?: You should stop being a Liberal and hate Atheists?
Featured picture: File:fuckingliberalsinhell.jpg
Did you know?: We should homeschool our children?
"
I guess, roughly, along the lines of that. Of course not a few lines of text on an Uncyclopedian user's talkpage, But still. - LOL vandalz 19:26, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
- It's not that extreme, but they do have content along those lines. Liberal tactics and schemes and the pure evil of atheists. Things like that. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 20:00, Mar. 31, 2011
I Bet they say the UK is Full of tea-drinking ninnies. Also, It spells mom correctly. Fuck correct english! - LOL vandalz 20:19, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Now that you mention it, it is a strict rule to use American English. None of this "colour" or metric system crap. -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 20:33, Mar. 31, 2011
- If I ever make a Conservepedia account, I better not tell them i'm Canadian. They'd ban me infinite. -- Lollipop 21:28, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

I know! It got featured! That was really fun. Thanks for your congrats. I don't think it got any no votes, so the changes suggested in Black Flamingo's pee review and by other people really helped get it ready. Aleister 15:09 25-4-'11
Thanks for the vote on VFH![edit source]
Thank you for voting on my article HowTo:Face your upcoming death! I heard people send out message to people who voted for them as a sign of thanks. I would try personalizing this message instead of copying and pasting it into everyone's talk page, but I'm lazy. In fact, I'm going to sleep on top of my keyboard now.--User:CandidToaster/sig 12:12, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
Sorry...[edit source]
For besmirching your poor little stub, Kip. I guess i didn't have my coffee so I was keen to jump on everything that moved. The mob proved me wrong. Mattsnow 22:55, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, don't worry about it. These things are not meant to be taken seriously. ;) -- Kippy the Elf Talk Works ☃ 23:21, Jun. 12, 2011
- Great you're taking it like that, it has been saved I believe. I thought one of the 2 jokes was the title really, the remainder I thought was promising albeit so very fucking short. I thought this was written by an user long buried, but given the lenght, this is a couple edits away from being good. (Opens a beer) Peace! (not drunk at all here. No.) Mattsnow 00:16, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Felicitations
It is apparently de rigueur to spam a user's talk page with templates, if that user has voted for your article on VFH, or has other-services render'd. As you have apparently done something of this sort, here is your reward: a plain, black box with white lettering, thanking you in a generic fashion for what you have done.

P.S. Yes, your suspicions are correct, this template is utterly unoriginal.
