Adoption[edit source]
Oi! (Scottish for "Yo") Thanx for the comment! You sure as hell can adopt me! :D - Unsigned by ThomasFan666 11:16, 26 June 2009
- Funny, they used "Oi" in the TV show "monkey magic" as well. I don't think that was Scottish.
- Okay, I think there is a little bit of promise with the premise (haha) of Thomas the Tank engine, but the execution has some major holes. The first one being that "Thomas and Friends" is not a parody, not a satire. It is nonsense, and while nonsense is okay, it has to be consistent nonsense. I would create a user page for Thomas and start re-doing it, piecemeal. Ignore all the work that has been done on the current one (and I'm not about to get into the whole issue of "who did what") and start again from scratch. There are a few directions that I would look at going with this.
- Make it the story of a real train line. Similar to the expansion of the Railroads in the US or in the UK going back a few years, make this a spork of that kind of story. Play Railroad tycoon or check out this or this or as there is a real life link, this
- Base it on the real story of Thomas the tank Engine - I mean really, the show is written by a Reverend and voiced by the least popular beatle, then George Carlin and Alec Baldwin in the US, and and is animated by model trains and has had to have changes due to offending the sensibilities of fat people. Or you could even play with this
- But more than anything else, read HTBFANJS. Please, for the sake of us all.
- And if you want anything else, you know where to find me.Pup
- How's that? I'm making a "Behind the scenes" page! Clay men are just like slugs-they have no basis in reality 02:02, 26 June 2009 (UTC) (P.S. The word "Oi" was used by Vyvyan in The Young Ones, and I collect Hornby 00 gauge model train!)

The Young and The Uncyclopedians Cancelled After enjoying a long-running career and several writer changes, Uncyclopedia's fabled soap opera The Young and the Uncyclopedians was cancelled this week. And by "cancelled" we mean totally owned by Thekillerfroggy. It seems TKF finally had enough, and spent nearly an hour systematically deleting the entire series, which previously contained over 60% of all content in the UnScripts namespace. The newly freed electrons, no longer required for TYATU, can now be used for other Uncyclopedia-related tasks, such as boron smelting, and they may even be used to form a sort of crude bot that can edit The count to a million project automatically. Not content with merely obliterating the entire series, Thekillerfroggy apparently became bored halfway through his holy crusade, and decided to get creative in the deletion summaries. As can be seen in a memorial erected by what is presumed to be a jilted fan of the show, TKF nostalgized and ranted, remembered and forgot, loved and lost, all while expressing his inner thoughts through the medium of deletion summaries. An example can be seen at the very end of his effort, where Thekillerfroggy writes: "Sigh./Well here's the home stretch/It's been real/We've had some good times/some bad times/But in the end/All we are is dust in the wind/So goodnight, sweet prince/Farewell TYATU/Fin." Reactions on the wiki were, as usual, mixed. Some users held a candlelight vigil in userspace, where some of the episodes have been resurrected in a zombie-like form. Entertainment editor DogNewspaper (pictured) wagged his tail, perhaps expressing hope that one day a new soap opera, sitcom, or crime investigation show featuring Uncyclopedia editors would once again grace this site. We can only dream... Main Page Suffers Spasms of Dickery If you logged onto the Main Page sometime on July 2nd between 2:00 and 3:00 GMT (and if you can't figure out what time that is where you live, then don't expect us to provide it for you, we're not a bloody watch!), you may have noticed some subtle changes. Instead of the usual Wikipedia-like format, with carefully organized features, news stories, anniversaries, and vital information, you may or may not have found...something else. You may or may not have found an intruiging offer to reffer freinds to take some sort of mp3-player related actions. You may or may not have found some sort of story with a vague theme of respecting one's elders, and everything about those elders, and we do mean everything. You may or may not have found some sort of strange mix of the two that left you with conflicting feelings. These feelings may or may not have included, but not been limited to: fear, anger, jealousy, confusion, fear again, and a vague sensation of falling. The admins responsible for this will not be named here, due to their next probable course of action in the case in which we did mention them, which would most likely be something along the lines of turning every UnSignpost issue into a Euroipod, whatever that is. The only thing we can report on is that the shenanigans ended just over an hour after they began, with the Main Page being restored to its previous false information-rich state. However, this episode shows us that it will never be safe from the hijinks of that group of admins, who, again, will not be named. |

The topic moved more from the article to a one-on-one conversation, so I decided to post here instead. I was actually going to suggest taking off the redirect and just putting your version in as Multiple personality disorder, but I don't know if the admins would be cool with that, or how harsh the Delete Brigade would be on it. As for your other questions: Looks like you're on NotM already, so that's covered. I'll try to check some of your edits later and possibly vote. But you're competing with Bioshock right now, so I can't promise anything. As for adopt a noob, I've never done that before, but if you can't find anyone I'm willing to give advice or whatever if you just post on my talk page. Just note that all I can offer advice on is the writing or concept itself, as I don't know shit about code or formatting tricks. Anyway, good luck with NotM. --S0.S0S.0S.0S0 10:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Isaac the wank (sorry, Tank) engine[edit source]
I think it is a bloody good idea to make a parody of thomas the tank engine. But I have a few suggestions/facts:
- 1. You aren't making fun of preachers. Rev. W. Awdry made "The railway series". And old woman made "Thomas the tank engine", so no moar trips to the confession booth!
- 2. I suggest changing it to "Isaac the Wank engine". It's much more funnier.
- 3. Have you thought about making it into an actual series? Talk to me about it and I'll get it on Youtube!
Good luck and have a nice day! -- unsigned by Thomasfan666 03:30, 8 July 2009

help[edit source]
2 things: 1. i want to vote for my best friend on uncyclopedia, but i cant. help? and 2. i got ur message on my account. perhaps we can redo exops! it'll be just like making a Model Railway! you can do the basics, and i could fill in the missing spots! so, is it a Deal Or No Deal? Thomasfan666
- I've got about six balls in the air at the moment - which is a reference to juggling a number of different things at once, not what I do in my spare time - so I might be able to create a skeleton for ExOps with a little flesh and you can add meat, but it'll be a few days away. In the meantime I'll teach you an old trick. Cut and paste the whole tabouleh into a Word document. Keep writing and adding to it any old shit that you can - just let your mind go wild, even if the stuff you end up writing is unfunny or stupid - at this stage you're the only one who is going to see it. Then when you get this to about twice the length of what you want, use highlighter tool. Anything that is "golden", highlight in green, anything that is "good, but..." highlight in yellow. Anything that is "bored now", highlight in red. The purpose of this is to get as much red as possible, so be hard on yourself. Then you'll end up with enough good material to create your article, and then you can build from there.
- The first thing I would do is re-read the review. You need to have flesh on your characters. Write at least two paragraphs on each of them - what motivates them, why are they there, what do they look like, do they have a funny walk or accent. Make them as real as you can. the depth of your characters will add substantially to your ability to caricature them.
- Oh, and remember a vote for me is a vote for prosperity, posterity, prosthetics, prostitution, and prescription drugs! Pup 00:44, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

The Newspaper That Wonders What Happened To You. You Used To Be Cool.
July 9th, 2009 • Issue 55• Help! I'm trapped in a newspaper printer!
Survivor returns to Uncyclopedia after almost two years
In late 2007, a man by the name of Leoispotter had the idea to bring his favorite reality show to Uncyclopedia. Thus, the first season of UnSurvivor was created. After five thrilling rounds of voting, Mr. Briggs Inc. managed to win against the other finalist, Thekillerfroggy, by a mere two votes. Flash forward almost two years. Kingkitty, a competitor in the first UnSurvivor, decides it's time for another go-around, and season 2 is born. In an exclusive interview with Mr. Kitty, he had this to say: "Well, I was bored ("and crazy", says one passing by civilian) and I thought: 'perhaps the community could do something fun, and stop with all this writing bullshit.'" When later asked what he thought about this current season, he said, "It's showing to be bigger and better than last season, with more betrayals, more violence, more whining, and more betrayals. Lots of betrayals. Mostly of me." Currently, UnSurvivor Season 2 is in its final round of voting, where the voted-off members of the game get to vote on the finalist they want to win. The finalists this season are: after last seasons defeat, Thekillerfroggy, and newcomers to the show, THEDUDEMAN and An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays. Voting is set to take place over 72 hours instead of the usual 24, and the winner will be announced sometime Friday July 10th. After this, according to Mr. Kitty, there "probably" will be a season 3, and it will be bigger and better than anything ever before.
Uncyclopedians pay crass tasteless tribute to Michael Jackson Michael Jackson, the legendary King of Pop, touched many lives, and the news of his untimely demise has left a deep void in the lives of his millions of fans and victims. Fans all over Uncyclopedia, stricken by grief, flocked by the dozens to mourn their departed hero in the only way they knew how: through the medium of humour. They ranged from perfunctory to crude to mediocre, but each expressed a deeply profound sadness that the weird plastic rapist was no more. (Yeah, "weird plastic rapist". That's what you wanted to hear, isn't it? Ha ha ha.) Tributes continue to pour in despite the fact that it is no longer funny or clever. With the stage set for a long, protracted battle over his kids and estate, Uncyclopedia expects that unfunny people will continue to get mileage out of this story for many weeks to come. Uncyclopedia admins plan to send a selection of the best "tributes" to the Jackson family, along with the number of a company that recycles plastics. (That's what you wanted to hear, isn't it? Ha ha ha.) Editors emerge from woodwork, contribute to UnSignpost This week, when UnSignpost Active Editor Gerrycheevers brought up the Uncyclopedia page containing the currently in-progress UnSignpost, he suffered a minor heart attack upon finding that two stories had already been added to the paper. It seems both An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays and THEDUDEMAN, both newly given the title "Consulting Editor", took exception to being named "Consulting Editor" and took it upon themselves to blanket the UnSignpost with awesomeness. Unsignpost Payroll Manager DogNewspaper (pictured) bared his teeth at this development, indicating his frustration at having to re-issue new timecards to both editors. Gerrycheevers is expected to make a full recovery; flowers can be sent to the Uncyclopedia Infirmary and Shooting Range. |

Afternoon[edit source]
About this - have a word with Spang, he's the resident whizz at stuff like that, and can probably give you a hand with anything you need. Not sure about leaving the help template directly on the article - that template doesn't get as much attention as it should these days. --UU - natter 14:30, Jul 10
Response and such.[edit source]
First off, I appreciate and thank you for the help. I know I had a bit of a bitch fit when my articles were deleted, but I've come to terms with it and I now understand why they were deleted. Being a big fan of DAH!, my mind processes made me believe everyone knew about it, and so any humor would make them laugh. I know know that this is not the case. I actually thought about this before you wrote the makeshift review. In my time waiting for it, I thought long and hard, and I decided to create articles about the games themselves. As such, I have already created an article for the first game. But before I allow you to look at it, may I vaguely explain some of the concepts? Basically, for the article, I took what the game was about, which is basically just alien invasion and government conspiracies, and incorperated that, along with other somewhat familiar things, and wrote the article. Really all you need to know is that the main Character sounds like Jack Nicholson, Pox sounds like Zim, and the aliens and conspiracy stuff. I myself do think it is a better attempt at writing myself, though I'm not sure. Which is why I want you to evaluate it. Once I have perfected the articles on the games, THEN I will begin to create articles based on the characters. Here is the article: Destroy All Humans!. Enjoy and once again, thank you. --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd(Cortex Scan) 04:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you. Also, I think you'll be happy to know there is only one edited picture on the article. One picture is an actual game screenshot, and another the the exploding head. The pictures' captions are related to the article's theme. So they can actually be funny, and we can avoid the horrible photo chopping. The edited picture is the game's box art, also edited to fit the theme of the article. Also, the article is actually up for Pee Review if you want to review it yourself. --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd(Cortex Scan) 04:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Destroy All Humans! Review.[edit source]
I've read the review, and I'm definately more pleased with the outcome. I'll patch it up now and get back to you. I was also thinking of adding in one qutoe that is actually from the game that I could milk.
“Brains?! Healthy green glow? Those fools! Clearly they've genetically altered these pathetic gasbags and turned them into RADIOACTIVE EXPLODING ZOMBIE COWS!”
Yes, that IS an actual quote from the game.
Judging from your review, having a section with a few quotes and references from the actual game would probably bring hilarity up ten-fold.
Also, yes, I like aping Wikipedia articles, because They're bastards.
I'll keep your review open, use it as a guide, operate on the article, and get back to you. --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd(Cortex Scan) 02:43, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, so, after following your review's advice and barely understanding any of the WikiSpeak, I have made several huge modifications/revisions/additions to the article, as well as having generated a new and possibly better infobox. Feel free to check out the article when and if you wish to do so. I hope it pleases you, oh mighty ruler of... whatever you rule. --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans!

Tell you what - to make it up to you I'll give you free reign to tell everyone that I am a goy with a shikseh wife and I'm full of drek that spritzes out every time I open my schmegeggy mouth.

The Newspaper Not Secretly Controlled By Mordillo, We Swear!
July 16th, 2009 • Issue 56 • This is a Pathetic Joke
User Return Causes Widespread Panic This week noted user An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays returned to the wiki, and immediately rendered that return "triumphant". However, other users are beginning to feel the effects of the presence of this primate whose quantum mechanical properties dictate that he be only during certain periods of the week. This incident left onlookers shocked, and worrying if something similar could happen to them. Not since the return of a scantily-clad Olipro has this website seen such a display of sheer terror mixed with complete confusion (and in the case of Olipro, a bit of curious arousal mixed in). The aforementioned incident involved one user who had AATOEOT embedded in his dreams. Most curiously, this episode seems to have happened on a Friday night, a time period when an An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays should decidedly not exist. Nearly a week has passed without further disruptions, although that may be partially due to Ape's ban after being kicked off of the Uncyclopedia island during a rousing game of Uncyclopedia Survivor. Regardless of the reasons behind the strange occurrences, users should be sure to keep an eye out for strange occurrences on and off the wiki...particularly on Thursdays. Flood of Crap Nearly Overflows VFD For the last few days, an explosion of nominations has inundated Uncyclopedia's waste removal system, Votes for Deletion. After a period of low activity, where there would typically be just a few to several nominations, things picked up last week. In the last few days, the situation has accelerated into what is being called by experts a "shit-ton" of undesirable content festering in the dark, unvisited corners of the wiki. Said undesirable content is currently being read, discussed, and dealt with accordingly, as is the usual procedure at the highly efficient VFD. Circumstances have escalated to the point of rattling a few relaxed admins. One such incident involved a user getting the customary one-day ban for increasing the active nomination count past twenty, when the user in question had, in fact, only increased the number of active noms to twenty. Owing to the normal tendency of the article count of VFD to stay in the low single digits lately, the lapse is certainly forgiveable, and was quickly corrected. Afterwards the two parties exchanged pleasantries and shared a S'Mores which was roasted over the open bonfire of newly deleted articles. Former poopsmith MrN9000 commented on the situation, saying, "Well you know I fancy the standards at VFD have improved significantly in recent times. Not so long ago it would often just be a quick "Short and Shit" vote from UU, and the latest stub was on for a huffing. These days we are spending more time voting on closer votes and are deleting much better articles than we used to! Something VFD is really proud of." In a final display of VFD patriotism, MrN added, "CHECK THE PAGE HISTORY BEFORE NOMINATING YOU BUGGERS!" Orian57 On Fire Noted rainbow-colored user Orian57 has recently enjoyed a remarkable string of success (pictured on right). He has scored an unprecedented natural hat trick of features, with UnBooks:Daddy, There's a Zombie in the Garden, LazyTown, and UnScripts:Trapped at Sea reaching the front page on consecutive days. Not since the time of such legends as Savethemooses and The Thinker have such lofty VFH records been broken. Although in the case of STM, there were probably mitigating factors involved, like wooden articles rather than aluminum, or something. Or aluminium, that strange substance only found in England by mining thousands of millions of other strange occurences, such as referring to the trunk of a car as a "boot". This god-like spasm of awesomeness is fresh on the heels of Orian's Writer of the Month win in June of this year. Since the beginning of that month, he has seen six of his works grace the front page, and he shows no signs of slowing down. When reached for comment, he explained, "Well I suppose it's down to being fantastic. And unemployed. But mostly being fantastic." The UnSignpost would like to congratulate Orian on his recent spat of win, and express hopes he will continue the pattern well into the future. |

Perhaps it wasn't clear enough[edit source]
That you don't edit other user pages. For any reason. ~ 12:08, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- Got it the second time - it's late night here and I'm not completely sober, sorry. But out of curiosity, where is the written policy on that? Not that I don't agree or anything, but I have seen it being done before and I'd like to know what the policies are before I stuff something else up. Pup
- There's no written policy as such, but it's an accepted norm that a user page is a user's own home, to an extent. If you're good friends with the guy and he allows you to mess around with his page, that's a different thing. But to edit a random userpage just because you don't like a redlin? A big no-no.

It's sort of hard to say whether or not you should do all 14, though I'm leaning towards yes at the moment. If you're going to do a joke, you might as well do it all the way. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 01:29, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the review - your comments are really helpful. I did try and base as much in reality as possible (like the haystack, ballet and School bit) but it does appear like it's random so I'll try and do something about it. The quotes (which I inherited from the old page) will all go, I was quite dubious about them from the start.
I was actually aiming the piece at Australian atheists - there's so little out there for them nowadays. Calindreams 11:47, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

D&D:IRL[edit source]
That was without a doubt the single most useful Pee review I've ever received. All your advice was helpful, as were all of your suggestions. Needless to say, I think you're entitled to this:
For donating high quality material to the Pee Review.
Two things, though: I actually started these articles as one really big, massive article--I broke them up upon the suggestions of others. Plus, having the separate "chapters" as their own sub-page gives it more of a "handbook" feel, I think. Secondly, I like the template idea, and considered it myself very briefly, but the articles are big enough as it is, and templates would result in a lot more code, not to mention possibly mess up the formatting (which is bound to happen because I'm extremely bad at using wikicode).
I will, however, take to heart everything else you said/suggested, and revise the article shortly as per your advice.
On a final note, I'd like to say that it's incredibly nice to get a review from A) someone who knows what they're doing, and B) someone familiar with D&D.
Thank you.

Di again[edit source]
Actually meatnt to say - good god what a long review, thanks more than the last thanks! Trying to work slowly through some of your points. Swapped the images around a bit, but will try and use that first image you suggested once I've thought of a caption (it actually looks like she's holding a knife).
I'm not very familiar with how you add new images - will learn, but any help would be appreciated. Most of all your comments about it not having an encyclopediac tone was most helpful. I did actually use wikipedia, which helped me come up with the School, ballet and gay bit. But your right, it does look like random humour because of the tone. I will also integrate the goddess theme and expand the Mother teresa joke a little more, just because I thought it was funny that her death was totally eclipsed by Di Dying.

About your nom[edit source]
Congratulations on your Nom for RotM, it is more deserving than my own methinks considering I had reviewed 9 at the time. I hope to be back, willing and able to review some of your articles very soon. Also a quick note about your vote for RotM. You may remember adding a comment under mine the other day and it has come to my sad and very bored attention that my score has increased by one since you did. However your vote is currently occupied under Boomer's nom. Maybe I just can't add up to 9 or maybe there is something amiss. If there is just knock my count down by one and if not I blame rogue vandalism for the latter part of this message.
Congrats again on being nommed and for doing so many reviews. It just doesn't feel right until someone makes me look bad! --ChiefjusticeDS 19:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Review[edit source]
Your review was fucking fantastic, as always. I'd give you another Golden Shower award, but I just gave you one a few days ago. Since, PCASF is on VFH at the moment, I don't want to change anything in the middle of the nomination. However, when it leaves the queue--whether it fails or not--I'll implement the majority of your advice. Thanks. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 03:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- That last award was three and a half days ago - I barely remember ten seconds ago! But still, it's my pleasure, and I honestly hope that it gets through. The changes that we're talking about are more semantic than anything else, so I can't see the amendment during VFH being an issue, but I've been slapped on the wrist a few times by admins, so I won't advise you to change it now. Pup
If you get really bored[edit source]
I'm not really looking for a PEE (though you do them beautifully) but since you seem to be of the foreign persuasion (to me anyway, as I'm Anglo-Welsh Canadian) does What I did on my hols. make any sense to anyone not from Blighty?

The newewst DAH! article review is in.[edit source]
The verdict? It's not pretty. Have a look at the review and check out the damage. Honestly I have no idea in hell how to make the tone more consistant and how to make the Obama joke consistant. You Uncyclopedia chaps are unpleasable, like naggy housewives, only you don't throw things or scream. Let me know what you think, that is if you care. I'm going to go lie on my bed and heave a long tired fed-up sigh while I come to terms with having to further operate on my supposedly "unhealthy" article. Yes, that metaphor is very long. >_> --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd(Cortex Scan) 19:42, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- Unpleasable (is that a word?) and naggy (again)... well I think the girlfriend would agree with you on that one. I am, however, frequently pleased especially on PEE review considering my score average is 36, it's just I wasn't with your article, don't be too worried about it, just because I didn't enjoy it and because I think you are approaching it the wrong way doesn't mean that you are. Would you rather I had lied and given you 10 for everything and let you get slaughtered on VFH where the truly evil uncyclopedians lurk? No,if POTR likes it then fair enough, I didn't thus the review. --ChiefjusticeDS 19:53, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I do suppose you've saved me from the slaughterhouse by being honest. I just detest having my writing skills butchered. I was top of the line in my english class back in high school. Honestly I can't find the bloody spellcheck button on firefox or Uncyclopedia. Plus i think the critics are all a little too biased. But meh, I'm complaining because I'm bored and I just woke up. I'll get over myself now. Cheers. --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd(Cortex Scan) 20:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- I'm in the middle of defending a review I did on somebody else's work at the same time. The important thing about a review is ignore the score. It means sweet bugger all. The important thing is "What has the reviewer given me that I can use to improve my work?" To be honest I'd prefer if CJDS had scored me lower as one of the pieces that I put up there I'd have given a lower score to - I just needed a second opinion as to where I should take it.
- Oh, and in case you were wondering CJDS, I hadn't fully proofread the two articles you questioned me on, as I do that only once I'm happy with the humour, concept and layout. If they're sitting in PEEreview, that usually means I'm not happy and want to change them, but I don't know where to go. Once I have them at a point where I think that they are VFH worthy, then I'll proofread and fix up the errors. Pup

Reading This Is The Mysterious Second Step To Getting Profit From Stealing Childrens' Underwear!
July 23rd, 2009 • Issue 57 • The Newspaper That Won't Tell Everyone That You Wet the Bed! Oops...
Uncyclopedia Users Form Fantasy Football League This week, several Uncyclopedians banded together under the leadership of one Guildensternenstein to form some sort of "Fantasy Football" organization. What exactly this entails is unclear, but it appears that the football- and soccer-related fantasies of the participating members will be carried out in the semi-private confines of the forums. Reactions were mixed to this development, with some users expressing emotions ranging from apathy to indifference. Others voiced concern about children, decency, and lewd public conduct. "My little boy came home today saying something about going to another boy's house to perform football fantasies!" said one outraged and confused mother. Regardless of the small amount of negative feedback, participants are eager to begin fantasizing about their favorite football players, such as David Beckham. Bradaphraser had this to say: "The Fantasy Football League is a chance for Uncyclopedians to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday Uncyclopedia work and actually have some fun for a change. While I usually am busy with the administrating task of sitting on my lazy ass and doing nothing, this gives users a chance to see me in a more relaxed state." "I fully expect that this venture will be just as successful as my recent run for the Presidency," continued Brad, "which I lost to Bradford Lyttle of the Pacifist party by a mere 110 votes. I fully expect to win one or possibly even two games in this upcoming season, assuming of course that a draft is eventually held." Said draft is scheduled to begin immediately, and assuming only a small portion of footballers flee to Canada to evade this draft, the Uncyclopedia Fantasy Football League will be ready to hold its first game by opening day. Village Dump Suffers From Rash of Inactivity In a startling development, activity on Uncyclopedia's main gathering place, the Village Dump, has all but ceased. With The UnIdiot registering the sole comment in the last three full days, the normal flow of important, relevant conversation in the Forums appears to have dried up. While an excess of users can usually be found loitering aimlessly in the halls of the Dump, it appeared all but deserted as of press time. Several theories have been raised, ranging from the intriguingly possible (July weather causes Uncyclopedians to go outside) to the exceedingly headache-inducing (Uncyclopedians are being abducted by giant space cabbages). However, one of the more interesting theories comes from our lead scientist and nature correspondant, DogNewspaper (unavailable for picture). He claims that while the Village Dump itself along with associated forums such as the Ministry of Love and the Help forum has seen a decline in activity, the so-called Benson's House of Pancakes has seen a shocking upswing in activity. In the same time frame that only a single edit was made in the Village Dump, sixteen different topics were edited in Benson's Breakfast Domicile. DogNewspaper, that earlier mentioned nature correspondant, calls this a migration. "Woof," he claimed, elaborating that many users were unable to adapt to conditions found in the normal Village Dump, and were forced to relocate to the more hospitable Benson-related location. It is here, in the BHOP, that users are free to create topics concerning their own birthdays, the anniversaries of their birth, and memorials commemorating the day they were born. Whether the mass exodus is complete or not has yet to be seen. |

This edition is on time, and anyone who tells you differently is lying! THEDUDEBOT Armed and Ready Say The Word 02:55, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
RE: What the...[edit source]
I assume that you are referring to my post: "All of your works are pathetic pieces of shit and you deserve to be hanged, drawn and quartered for conceiving them." on the VFH talk page for the Abe Vigoda piece. This was made in light-hearted good faith to An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays and was not directed towards the article itself or Modus. To the second bit about my criticism of You, which is the product of the recently failed IC project, it is legitimate; the talk page of that page would have been the appropriate place to ask me to elaborate, not my own talk page which is reserved for fans and groupies only. I expressed my whole opinion (which I do not need to justify to you, and will not justify to you since you did not ask me for justification) with a rip off Chappelle's show (you know, that episode with Rick James). As for your question, I do note your cunning attempt to insult me under the feign of asking for my minding a decision to "not miss my contributions" (for the record, I am no longer buggering off; the funeral is being postponed). I also notice your use of public embarrassment in an attempt to further insult me based on your inclusion of a plural pronoun (despite the fact that you are only speaking for yourself). Your asshattery is noted, but I'm not going to reciprocate. I'd recommend that you read Uncyclopedia:Disagreements before you address my talk page again. --EMC [TALK] 03:58, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I was thinking about taking a bit from the old version that I liked (I understand a lot of crap was put on it over time which probably necessitated the IC efforts) and some of the new content and maybe creating a hybrid. Uncyclopedia has, in my opinion, too many narrative articles. Something that at least resembles an encyclopedic entry, like the old version, is what I might like to see. I'm definitely down for a collaboration or something of the sort. I might start working on it in one of my sandboxes, or we could use a page in your namespace if you like. Doesn't matter to me. --EMC [TALK] 19:57, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- Damn! My thoughts were actually on a very different line, as I wanted to continue with the narrative style. But you've made me consider it a fair bit more. At the moment we have several frames here, and Uncyclopedia really isn't the frame that suits narrative style. In fact going a bit further a few of the articles I've done are actually straying more into the narrative style than encyclopaedic. I have done an UnScript and the idea that I had would suit that more, but the more I think about it the more I realise that I'm building it all around a single pun.
- While we're on the topic of frames though, I have done a couple of pieces that I have placed under "UnNews" that don't really suit that frame. UnNews:McDonalds Should Be Boycotted and UnNews:An Open Letter from "Protect the Overtly Offensive Foundation" and this has made me consider something. At the moment we Uncyc, UnDic, UnNews, UnPeotica, UnScripts and UnTweets. What I have parodied in both of these has been blogs. I'm hesitant to talk about an "UnBlog", as I could see that twisting into a blog too quickly, but I was thinking along the lines of "UnEssays", "UnOpinion", or "UnEditorial."
- In regards to "You" though, I'm putting my concept on the back-burner for the moment and I'll come back to it when it has grown up a little more. I would rather not write another half-hearted piece if I can avoid it. However I'm happy to give feedback along the way to whatever you have in mind. Pup
- I know I'm interrupting on the conversation you two are having but those two UnNews could fall underUnColumns, right? Seems like it to me. So far we only have 5 of those (4 by Modusoperandi, 1 by me). More would definitely be welcomed, I think. MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 13:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- Interrupt away. This is the issue with being a n00b - there are so many layers and so many things that I want to get to know with Uncyclopedia and the only way I find things is by stumbling on them. Or in this case, whining about the lack of something that is already there. POOF is on VFH at the moment, so I'll leave that there, but McDonalds can be moved happily. I'm in the middle of timeline thingy at the moment, so I probably won't be able to get onto that for the next day or so. If you could move it on my behalf that would be much appreciated. Oh, and Vote for POOF - I'm allowed to whore my own talk page, aren't I? Pup

The Only Newspaper That Is Not Controlled By The Cabal Who Are You What Are You Doi- AAAAHHHHH
July 30th, 2009• Issue 58• Now Delivered Trendily Late!
Uncyclopedia Users Alter Time Itself This week: an update. As previously reported in an earlier news story, one month ago several well-known contributors went on a campaign to try and delete time itself. It is said they were trying to bring about an end to unfunniness throughout history, with the slight side effect of non-existence. But just as it looked as if their plan would come to fruition, cooler heads prevailed and stopped everything in its tracks. Since then, the plan has changed. Instead of deleting all that ever was, the users have decided it would be much more prudent to just change all of history to their liking. Several users have been seen spending their free time on User:Gwax/Timeline rebuild, in some cases changing events one year at a time, and in others trying to change entire millennia. How they are able to do this, no one is sure, though rumors of a DeLorean DMC-12 have been circulating. The outcomes of the project have, thus far, been very good Remarks from the community on the process have been nothing but positive. "In order to walk the road of peace, we need to climb the mountain of conflict," notable scholar TKF exclusively commented. We have our entire staff working around the clock to figure out what this means as we speak. Town drunk Dexter111344 was also heard mumbling about the subject. He blamed wizards for the whole thing, before stumbling away, probably to make more links to A wizard did it. Regardless, whether its wizards or time machines, the editing of the past continues as we speak, and will continue until all of history has been changed. Or until we get bored and move onto something else. Uncyclopedia Editors Conflicted Over Story Topic Owing to the large amount of things happening in the last week, and also to the fact that this issue is unforgivably late, the editors of the UnSignpost were unable to settle on a single topic for the second story of this week's edition. The editors were also unable to agree on either two topics for a rare three-story issue or how many UnSignpost editors it takes to screw in a lightbulb (the UnSignpost staff has been left to ponder this question in the dark). As a decision could not be reached, it was decided after much deliberation and petty arguing that all of the candidate stories be mentioned rapid-fire in a single story, so as to confuse and irritate the reader and cause him to be required to navigate back to this issue to click on all of the links. These stories are as follows: Zombiebaron returns and petitions to end voting. His effort is parodied, rebutted, and parodied again. A link to Requested Articles is placed on the sidebar and MadMax commences handing out badges to requested article creators. Zombiebaron returns again to demand reskins, which we understand means he needs to replace all of his undead flesh with "fresh flesh". Cajek returns, but not really. VFH maxes out at 23 nominations at press time, including some discussion-inducing selections. More events certainly occured, but we can't be arsed to list everything for you. |

Thanks for Nominating me Noob of the Month[edit source]
Thanks last month's Noob of the Month for nominating me Noob of the Month! At least for six hours and six minutes. I see it was removed because they discovered I snuck in here one day shortly before finals, then came back posting like a mad girl a month and a half later after I moved and went on summer vacation. I know, that technically disqualifies me, doesn't it? (Insert Appropriate Profanity Here). But thanks a brunch! Miley Spears 21:40, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Ur welcome. I was thinking I'd seen sweet Fanny Adams of your posts and then all of a sudden it was like being in a torrential downpour - but in a good way. I'm still not changing my stance on Miley Cyrus though! Unless she starts to wriggle. Pup
- :0 that doesn't mean what I think it does. Right? Orian57 Talk 23:33 7 August 2009
- I think I just came up with a quadruple entendre without entending. Pup
- Care to explain yourself? Orian57 Talk 23:41 7 August 2009
- I'm not a Miley Cyrus fan. On a side note, I'm creating a listing of the worst songs ever in a social networking site that I happen to be a part of (with a slightly more professional name) and "Achy Breaky Heart" turned up the other day. Although I still don;t think it's quite as bad as "To all the girls I've loved before" by Willie Nelson and Julio Inglesias, or however his name is spelt. Pup
- Not everybody can be a fan. Some people don't have taste. :D I think she's a lot more talented that the silly material she does. I think she'll be like Madonna, really respected after she stops being worshiped by preteens and young teens. Miley Spears 00:25, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think that she's as Disney as the normal Disney formulaic stuff like this, but she's still Disney, and she's still the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus. And I remember 1982 - Madonna stopped being considered the next pop queen and started to be considered as a true artist... about three seconds after she appeared in a playboy centrefold. (And I hate to be judgemental, but it was not the best photo shoot that a young woman could have hoped for.) Pup
- Hmm, well there's a small part of me that bought and rather enjoyed her album. But you're right she is awful. Orian57 Talk 00:59 8 August 2009
- My youngest son is just the right age to be getting the tail end of the Miley Cyrus adoration, which means I've been made to watch too much of it. I'll admit that it's more watchable than "That's so Raven..." Pup
- It's good that you're that accepting. When I came out my dad cried. Orian57 Talk 01:15 8 August 2009
- I am so hoping that one of the three boys comes out of the closet soon just for the mind fuck that it would do to all the grandparents. The youngest one also recently completed the "which female grease character are you" on Facebook, so I have high hopes there. Pup
- Actually the more older brothers a guy has the more likely they are to be gay. provinding they all came from the same mother. I could explain this theory in greater detail if you wish, but I can't be arsed right at this minute. Orian57 Talk 01:27 8 August 2009
- Really? Most of the guys that I've ever... dated, for want of a better word, have been younger brothers, or only children. But that might just be my type. Pup
- If you got to know them that well I'd say it was dating. Also I said older brother but the previous number of pregnancies that would have turned out to be boys is really what I mean. But yeah, it's still just the best idea they've got, and from what I've read it does seem to need more research. Not that it really matters and I have this terrifying idea that if they do figure it out they'll work on a cure... Orian57 Talk 01:47 8 August 2009
- Well, monogamy means that I'm cured by default. Damn it! Pup
- Well, no it doesn't but, you know what I mean? It's easier for you Bi's anyway - but image the possibility of a cure. The religious fundies would be all over it like a rash (indeed they already are and it doesn't exist yet), so you'd have people that are born into that world "having" to take it. Pretty soon that social pressure would escape into the rest of society and it'd bassically put the attitudes back to square one. Making being gay difficult again. Not only would a cure be unethical for that reason it'd also be detrimental to society. for reasons I'm too tierd to explain and I want to go to bed now and I'm really not sure how this turned into an ethical discussion in the first place. Orian57 Talk 02:15 8 August 2009
- Don't know how we got there either. And no, I was being tongue in cheek when I said cured by default - I know who I turn to watch when they go past... Pup
- Well, monogamy means that I'm cured by default. Damn it! Pup
- Of course you were, but it was late and I was very tierd (I haven't linked to that in a while). Orian57 Talk 13:49 8 August 2009
- If you got to know them that well I'd say it was dating. Also I said older brother but the previous number of pregnancies that would have turned out to be boys is really what I mean. But yeah, it's still just the best idea they've got, and from what I've read it does seem to need more research. Not that it really matters and I have this terrifying idea that if they do figure it out they'll work on a cure... Orian57 Talk 01:47 8 August 2009
- Really? Most of the guys that I've ever... dated, for want of a better word, have been younger brothers, or only children. But that might just be my type. Pup
- Actually the more older brothers a guy has the more likely they are to be gay. provinding they all came from the same mother. I could explain this theory in greater detail if you wish, but I can't be arsed right at this minute. Orian57 Talk 01:27 8 August 2009
- I am so hoping that one of the three boys comes out of the closet soon just for the mind fuck that it would do to all the grandparents. The youngest one also recently completed the "which female grease character are you" on Facebook, so I have high hopes there. Pup
- It's good that you're that accepting. When I came out my dad cried. Orian57 Talk 01:15 8 August 2009
- My youngest son is just the right age to be getting the tail end of the Miley Cyrus adoration, which means I've been made to watch too much of it. I'll admit that it's more watchable than "That's so Raven..." Pup
- Hmm, well there's a small part of me that bought and rather enjoyed her album. But you're right she is awful. Orian57 Talk 00:59 8 August 2009
- I don't think that she's as Disney as the normal Disney formulaic stuff like this, but she's still Disney, and she's still the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus. And I remember 1982 - Madonna stopped being considered the next pop queen and started to be considered as a true artist... about three seconds after she appeared in a playboy centrefold. (And I hate to be judgemental, but it was not the best photo shoot that a young woman could have hoped for.) Pup
- Not everybody can be a fan. Some people don't have taste. :D I think she's a lot more talented that the silly material she does. I think she'll be like Madonna, really respected after she stops being worshiped by preteens and young teens. Miley Spears 00:25, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not a Miley Cyrus fan. On a side note, I'm creating a listing of the worst songs ever in a social networking site that I happen to be a part of (with a slightly more professional name) and "Achy Breaky Heart" turned up the other day. Although I still don;t think it's quite as bad as "To all the girls I've loved before" by Willie Nelson and Julio Inglesias, or however his name is spelt. Pup
- Care to explain yourself? Orian57 Talk 23:41 7 August 2009
- I think I just came up with a quadruple entendre without entending. Pup
- :0 that doesn't mean what I think it does. Right? Orian57 Talk 23:33 7 August 2009
Your Pee Review Awaits You, Sir[edit source]
El Sid, the lazy one • parlez-vous franglais? 22:43, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hi POTR, thought I might as well take a wander over here. Your changes so far have made a huge difference, the formatting particularly. Still not completely convinced about "phallus", it is more jocular though, so it seems humour wins over frustration in the end. I'd keep playing with that last paragraph if I were you, see if anything else comes. Thank you for changing the title too, that makes a big difference, I think we have a possible feature-worthy here (obviously after a Pee from a different person first). My last suggestion would be to change the "whoops" link to something more obviously comical that sums up the whole article like "self-indulgence" or "pretentious" or "vacuous". Except none of those, they're not quite right, I'm sure we'll think of something.==El Sid, the lazy one • parlez-vous franglais? 00:58, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
- Actually the "Whoops" was because I wanted to keep this separate from the postmodern page, and the whole redlink "Postmodern doesn't exist" thing was a pun I couldn't pass up. As it's changed to a guide I might remove this all together - it would work for an article on postmodern art, but not as part of a guide (because ostensibly this is something that would be printed and carried when looking at the exhibit.) I'm going to be going over this for a while before I get happy with the title of the last piece. I'm also trying to think of another word for "pretentious" that would fit in there, as part of the issue is that the title of it still needs to "flow". I originally had "twat" in there, which I'm half tempted to go back to, so I might do that in the end. Pup
- Very interesting that you chose twat POTR, since that was what I was considering using too. It has a funny-yet-aggressive tone. Well, I'm glad you're concentrating on perfecting this as much as possible, I guess I'll just leave you to it then :) --El Sid, the lazy one • parlez-vous franglais? 09:46, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

August 6th, 2009 • Issue 59 • Painfully Extracting Nuggets of Truth from the Teeth of the News!
Uncyclopedia Triples Ad Revenue; Users Line Up For Paychecks This week, Uncyclopedia's benign evil overlords, Wikia, shuffled the advertising layout on our fine website. Previously, the left sidebar contained just one Wikia spotlight. These spotlights are not advertisements as much as they are a way to whore Wikia and increase its position in some sort of Google rankings, since the links from the banner ads go from Wikia-hosted Uncyclopedia to Google and back to Wikia-hosted wikis on such relevant topics to users who are on a satire wiki as the Burnout Wiki and the Harry Potter wiki. These Google rankings are actually a series of thousands of monkeys at Google headquarters, who move beads around on giant abaci based on search engine hits. Users who click these cleverly disguised and probably illegal "double-switch" ads cause the monkeys to alter the beads in Wikia's favor. However, in recent days this Wikia spotlight was moved to the bottom of each page rather than the sidebar and multiplied by three. A cursory look at any of the wikis linked in these spotlights results in a brutal assault of the senses, as they are all swimming in banner advertisements, sidebar advertisements, advertisements in the content, and links to highly useful Wikia features such as Wikianswers. While the increased number of spotlights on Uncyclopedia has not directly resulted in any cash flow, the increased Google bead rating has indeed caused Wikia stock to jump by six beads (the stock market is also organized using giant abaci, only it is operated by goats rather than monkeys). Wikia has decided to share credit for this jump in value with the users of Uncyclopedia, and all users will be receiving checks for equal amounts next Tuesday. The line forms behind Olipro, wherever he happens to be on Tuesday when the stock market goats arbitrarily decide to stop working for the day. A Hell of a Time at the Village Dump
Recently in the forums, BHOP's activity has arguably skyrocketed. An IP has started a new rhyming craze, and the cheesy, crunchy snack food CheddarBBQ has revived many topics that were getting rather aged, such as Fantasy Football, a Shakira-esque topic, and even his own birthday's topic. Back on BHOP, fruity user Neox's random storytelling and serious user YouKnowWhatTheMusicMeans' serious, dramatic storytelling have made Forum:Who HATES MochiAds? 2's story a complete, random mess. Also, Optimuschris and Modusoperandi have been having one hell of a time discussing the much-anticipated failing of the new G.I. Joe movie. Finally, users have a had a heated battle over whether to ban the Abstain feature on VFH, which is ending up as off-topic and random as an episode of Lost. Are there any cool discussions going on? That's the forum news in your area, now here's Mr. G with the weather, only on |

I notice you've been "messin' up" a bit on VFH[edit source]
Whether you've been failing to sign your votes, breaking numbering, not numbering at all, or anything else like that, I'm here to give you a warning and some recommended reading. Really recommended. Read that and please learn how to do things right from now on. Thank you. -- 16:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- Where? Timestamp is attached to my sig (although as class=sighidden) and I actually went through and fixed a couple of broken numberings last night. Where did I break them? Pup
- Nevermind - I found the boo-boo... Although in my own defence, please check out what was happening with the numbering before that... Pup
Apologies[edit source]
Think I might have messed about with a joke you had in the Post-Modernist gallery article. I assume that the link is supposed to be red, right? --El Sid, the lazy one • parlez-vous franglais? 14:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah - stupid pun, but the whole idea is that it's supposed to link to something that "isn't there" even though it clearly is. Very subtle and 99.9% of people won't get it unless they understand how much I hate red links, and post-modern philospohy... Pup
- Yeah, I'm much the same, I can't stand red links either, it just took me a while to work out why your red link had all this weird code around it ;) --El Sid, the lazy one • parlez-vous franglais? 21:07, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

- Half read it but couldn't get into it. If you want a review, then put in into the PEE queue, but I'd suggest read HTBFANJS first. Pup

Pixar[edit source]
For donating high quality material to the Pee Review.
Why not?
I'll be starting revision work on Pixar soon, although right now I'm juggling that with my version of 2001: A Space Odyssey (which, once again, will probably have to go into an alt namespace) and User:MacMania/Cartoon physics (for once, an encyclopaedic tone). First things first, though:
- Yeah, I moved it to UnScripts:Pixar: An Introduction for Uncyclopedians. I'll go from there.
- Could you clarify what you mean by an "I'm a little bit country/I'm a little bit rock-and-roll" moment?
- And how's this? I have a feeling that something's wrong with the potato gag at the end...
Sir MacMania GUN—[21:12 13 Aug 2009]
- I wonder why, but resizing this GIF seems to cause strange things to happen. Oh well. Revisions are in progress anyway (unless my browser crashes again). Sir MacMania GUN—[21:32 13 Aug 2009]
- As for the potato gag, the light is fading before it hits, whereas my envisioning was that the light shatters when the potato hits it. I agree it's really close.
- Intro is much better - I can actually picture that in my head as a Woody/Buzz type of thing. Works really wwell
- What do you feel about the "Create your own movie" section?
- The final cars reference is fantastic... exactly what I had in mind, but done by a better writer.
- And the "Little bit country/little bit rock n roll" is stolen from a South Park episode. It's when the two conflicting sides, the redneck warmongers and the white jumpsuit wearing objectors, come together at the end of the episode where they realise that although they are polar opposites in some ways they work together well.
- Skeeter: Hey, I'm a little bit county.
- Randy: And I'm little bit rock n' roll, ah
- Skeeter: I'll be the muscle of America
- Randy: And me, I'll be the caring soul
- Both: When you pust us together you get a nation with one goal. To thrive and prosper, with a little country and rock and roll.
- Pup
- Ah, I see.
- I think I'll think about the "create your own" section for a bit, and either delete it entirely or expand it entirely.
- GIF should be fixed with regards to brightness. I was trying to have the effect that the potato was blocking out the light, but on retrospect, optics doesn't work that way. Perhaps this should be better. Still no idea on what messes the resize up, though. Might have something to do with the way my version of Photoshop (CS3 Extended) handles GIF compression and other geeky stuff. Apparently the Extended version gives you both extended functionality and extended bugginess.
- Something just entered my mind, so if you don't mind I'll just jot it down here: Woody's a little bit country, Buzz's a little bit astronaut.
- That South Park excerpt is hilarious.
- Sir MacMania GUN—[22:48 14 Aug 2009]
- Much better gif work... my own image manipulation options are fairly Spartan - just stuff that will run on my ten year old computer - so I can't offer any help to fix that resize issue. But given that we're looking full size, I wouldn't call it an issues for you, just for whoever else wants to use it after. Maybe someone in Radical X's corner can offer a fix? Pup
- I've just been playing a bit with this, and I don't think the issue is the image - I think it's wiki re-size issue. I saved a copy of Pixar,gif to my pc, and created this html.

<p> <img src="Pixar.gif" width="200"> </p> <p> <img src="Pixar.gif"> </p>
- Now the image expanded and shrunk with no issues at all - even seemed to run a little smoother in the large version when run from a locally held file. I then grabbed the image and threw it into an OOOOOLD gif animator that I have, and recreated the file. I played a little with the lengths of frames - getting rid of the 5 blank frames at the start and merging them into one that ran for 0.35s - and tried that on home PC - worked like a dream. I then uploaded that to here and tried to run it. Full size the image worked, smaller it didn't even load, let alone run. Workaround - We can re-do the original image as a smaller image if it is needed - rather than being 500px we reduce it to 200px width - but I wonder if we're working at this simply because it seems to be buggy, rather than it actually negatively impacting on your article. Pup
- Yeah, this is just me being obsessive about the bug. The image on the article as it is right now doesn't seem to cause any problems. On the other hand, the way images are being resized seems sluggish and problematic anyway. Ex. when I upload a new version of an image, like Pixar.gif or CPhys2.png (that's for User:MacMania/Cartoon physics, at which you're certainly welcome to take a look, although it's only about half-finished), the resized versions that I've previously used don't seem to update very quickly. Ah well.
- Your idea is brilliantly simple, though. Those are the kind of ideas that I'll never be able to think of, because I tend to have a Heath Robinson/Rube Goldberg type of mind. Sir MacMania GUN—[02:50 17 Aug 2009]

Problem[edit source]
You seem to be pretty good at wiki formatting. How do I do one of those little black rectangles, as if I've edited out a word? - I'm sure you know the ones I mean but I can't find one to copy, User:Sog1970/ Gotham City Tourist Information really needs one. --Sog1970 21:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Alternatively, if you need just black rectangles that don't reveal any text when you hover over them, as in █████ ██████, you can copy this: ██████████

I had posted a message on that article's page but got a croak from TKF indicating I was doing something wrong. I was going to ask if the had article had been substantially changed since it failed the VFH . It still looked the same to me and I was keen to see it go round again for another vote sometime soon (though I think there is a gap of three months before you can do this). --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate). 15:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- There was some changes during VFH, but not enough to tip it over. I'm sitting on it at the moment to be honest as I had a couple of other things (about 15) in the meantime and waiting for that inspirational flash to hit me on this. Feel free to play with it if you like - I do these for the enjoyment people get out of them, if you can increase the enjoyment, then that's fine by me. Pup
- Oh, and I read somewhere a couple of weeks until it can be re-nommed, but I'd get clarification on that first... probably from TKF Pup

UnSignpost 13th August 2009. It's not late. You are![edit source]
The Newspaper that just got hijacked by Woody and Ape. Mwhahahaha!
Date August 13th, 2009 • Issue 60 • Taking the News, Making it Better
UnSignpost Editor Disappears; UnSignpost Suffers Mysterious Drop in Quality August 10, 2009 - a date which will live in infamy. Gerrycheevers, the UnSignpost's handsome, talented, and, often times, only editor announced his leave of absence in order to head west, and make a name for himself. In an UnSignpost Exclusive, Gerry talked at length about his final destination and the exciting journey he expects. "[I'll be heading to] north dakota. [I reckon I'll take the famous Oregon Trail, driving a horse and buggy, herding cattle, planting seeds of injustice wherever I may.]" How long this move out west will take is unknown by all but our best psychics, and since Gerry has them trained to bite anyone who come near, we'll go with Gerry's approximate date of August 21. If all of our readers miss Gerry (and we have a feeling that, one paragraph in, you already do), please drop him a line. Tell him how much he is missed. Tell him that if he ever leaves again, we won't be so forgiving. Just tell him something. We don't want to have to do this without him again. In an unrelated note, the UnSignpost - usually a shining example of grammatical correctness, good spelling, and hilarity - seems to have hit a drop in quality for this week's issue. The reasons for these changes seem to be a mystery to everyone. As far as we can tell, the problems that have arisen are completely arbitrary. The reasons for this change in quality have been the talk of the community this week. Some have suggested the recent meteor shower has caused an influx of gamma radiation into our atmosphere, creating a negative energy all over the Earth, and thus causing our writing abilities to falter. Under User stupidly blamed all of this on the change in editors, saying "Good to see we're keeping the time-honoured Signpost tradition of the revolving door to the editor's office alive and well. Although now Woody's in there, that should probably be a 'revolting' door." Bastard. Uncyclopedian creates Trivia Bot, ruins everything
EMC let loose his bot on the nerds, perverts and middle-aged alcoholics of #uncyclopedia, leading to even less constructive conversation then usual. Instead, the channel is mostly filled with dozens of people shouting random words in the hopes of being awarded meaningless points. Some, however, have pointed out that the only real difference between this and the way things were before is the awarding of points. Not content with destroying one channel, however, EMC subsequently decided to bring his bot to ##turtle,the exciting new channel with the dubious honour of being "the BHOP of IRC" (but with less Bad Shroom), which also served as a staging post for a recent troll invasion of Yahoo! Answers. EMC was unavailable for comment when I was throwing this piece together in five minutes. He is presumed to be sitting in a cave somewhere stroking his large red crayon and laughing dementedly. New Editors Have Trouble Matching up Left and Right Sides In a startling development, the newest editors of the UnSignpost are proving to be quite inept at lining up the left and right sides of Post's template. It seems that our penchant for placing more and more boxes on the right side of the page has defeated the natural aesthetic of the Post's two-even-sides strategy. While this is a problem, it does seem to be fixable. Namely, by adding this headline and story. Is this just an obvious cry for help, that we are unable to do this without Gerry? Probably. But since our hostile takeover has proven quite |

The rambling self absorbed nature of the piece is what i was aming for. You picked up on that in a big way and for that sir.....I am beholden to you.
- I'm so glad to know it was deliberate. However, the problem with rambling and self-absorbed is that it's rambling and self-absorbed. In a review, forum or user page, fantastic! In an article designed to amuse - just comes across as vanity.

- Any time anyone complains about my prowess, I assume that they're fishing... And I assumed for ages, because he never once said anything about being attracted to girls, and he... well, he rang the gaydar bell, for want of a better way to put it. But the older two at about the same age got busted for downloading porn, I just gave him access to a phone with limited internet access, and then busted him for the same. It was hard though, because at the same time that I'm trying to tell him that I accept his sexuality I have to tell him off for downloading porn. And I couldn't use the tried and true "You're objectifying women" argument which is about the only decent anti-porn argument that I can come up with from my extremely left-wing, secular standing. Pup

- Hell no - for phone read "cell phone with mobile broadband internet access that is restricted to only a small number of sites." The real issue is one of those sites was email, and his e-mail address got into the hands of a few nasty paedophiles - that bit got me steamed up... Pup
- Phone. You're on dial-up!? Orian57 Talk 11:51 23 August 2009
- Any time anyone complains about my prowess, I assume that they're fishing... And I assumed for ages, because he never once said anything about being attracted to girls, and he... well, he rang the gaydar bell, for want of a better way to put it. But the older two at about the same age got busted for downloading porn, I just gave him access to a phone with limited internet access, and then busted him for the same. It was hard though, because at the same time that I'm trying to tell him that I accept his sexuality I have to tell him off for downloading porn. And I couldn't use the tried and true "You're objectifying women" argument which is about the only decent anti-porn argument that I can come up with from my extremely left-wing, secular standing. Pup
- Erm. Sweetheart...? Also I've been meaning to ask, how did your son come out? Was it a "Mum, Dad: I'm gay." Sort of thing or did you catch him looking at naughty blowjobs? You didn't ask did you? Orian57 Talk 11:25 23 August 2009
- whatever helps you sleep at night, sweetheart Pup
- I blame you for not being erotic enough. Orian57 Talk 09:19 23 August 2009
- I blame webcams and txt spk. The first for being g to easy, and the second for destroying the eroticism. I mean i wnt 2 suk ur cok :o is such an ugly way of phrasing things. Pup
- Because it's cheap easy and thus, unsatisfying. I'd imagine. Orian57 Talk 21:04 22 August 2009
- yeah... But he's twelve. He's got a shit time ahead of him for the next few years, and I'll let him stay in the closet outside of his mother and I for as long as he likes. Besides, he's going to be the rich child who buys his old dad a car!Pup
- Twleve! Bloody hell, I was seventeen before I came out to my parents. Ok everyone else knew but at twelve I was still hoping it'd go away and I'd be normal again. I kinda accepted myself pretty quickly but even then I was thirteen and a half before I came out to my best friend... /mumbles/ kids today with their confidence and and stuff... And as for him having a shit time of it that kinda depends on where you live (it's New Zealand isn't it, or is that other one that's a bit similar and kills back-packers (although I really meant wither or not it's a rural or urban area)) and the general attitudes of the people around him. If you two know and are ok with it he should be fine. I mean I still don't properly know where I stand with my dad, he cried. And then the only other time it's come up since he cried again and said he wasn't happy with it (wich I thought was sort of obvious from the tears.) Anyway. If you ever need any advice I'm sure I'll be able to make something up. :) Orian57 Talk 13:06 23 August 2009
- We only kill English backpackers... and only after the Ashes series... mutter mutter mutter. And it's sub-urban area that is fairly tolerant, but if he goes much further out he's going to come across people who should use more sunscreen on their necks while working. Besides, my partner and I are fine, his brothers - well, he hasn't come out to them yet, and the eldest is conservative (I still don't know where I went wrong), but the other will be cool. I still don't understand these dads thinking that having a gay son is something to be sad about, or considered as a failure, or whatever. I mean, my kids are all Ginger, and I know that's not my failing. It's their mothers. Pup
- Sounds kinda like where I live. Although I'm nearly five hundred miles from the nearest gay bar. Sucks about your eldest, although maybe when he finds out he might change his mind (unless he doesn't have a mind and is simply rebelling). Probably would have helped if he was cool though, no doubt your youngest looks up to him in some way. As for the rednecks, really the only advice I can give is to treat them like nothing and spend your life feeling vastly superior. It's their problem not his. Well that's how I see it. Having good friends is important anyway, but it really helped me that mine were prepared to listen to me bang on and on and on and on and on about what guys I liked. And if all else fails there's always the internet. Pleanty of support sites and such. I do hope it goes ok for him though. Orian57 Talk 21:35 23 August 2009
- I might keep him away from gay support sites for a couple of years... once bitten and all. Although that does bring me to my next theory of responsible child rearing - children should not have access to pornographic material until they are at least 14, and even then they should have the respect to do it behind their parents back! That's when I started buying porn, and there's nothing wrong with my sexual maturity... teeheehee, MrN has golden boobies! Pup
- That's when i got the internet in my room first. and yeah, behind your parents back. Probably more illegal to do it infront of them. Orian57 Talk 23:22 23 August 2009
- Actually it amazes me when my friends of teenagers say to me that their kids are spending too much time on the internet, or are looking at online porn, or whatever. I usually turn to them and say "Password protect your computer login." Two weeks later still complaining about the same thing. Children don't need civil liberties in the home - it's a Patriarchy/Matriarchy, not a democracy! Pup
- Yeah my parents did that and did the fire walls and things. Then I complained that it wouldn't let me do anything and mum had the same problem. And so the firewalls whent away and I could look at whatever I pleased. And I lived happily ever after: THE END. Also if your house is the castle and your family a monarchy, does that maake you The Queen? Orian57 Talk 05:23 24 August 2009

A fat bloke wearing A dress... That would be Divine[edit source]
- I'm not old enough to get that joke. But I do: "Oh you think but you're a man..." Orian57 Talk 12:19 25 August 2009
- Divine died something like 25 years ago. If Divine were around today, he would appear on Jerry Springer, and that would be the height of his popularity. But I have to admit I do like the song. Pup
- I looked for teh one done by Divine but couldn't find it, got the version by Full Frontal and its much the same. One of my favourite songs that is, along with "Gone Away" by the Offspring and "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" by Panic at the Disco. Hey I have an idea -- lets talk about music now! Orian57 Talk 13:04 25 August 2009
- Cool... Do you think we should be showing more respect to potential musical icons who write for uncyclopedia? I mean, UU might really be David Bowie after all... Pup
- I never got any respect! Ok so I didn't sing it but I wrote it! Orian57 Talk 20:16 25 August 2009

Thank you[edit source]
for your review, Puppy.
15:54 Aug 21, 2009- It was a pleasure. Honestly. I enjoyed the read and it was such a simple article - meant in the nicest possible way - to review it was an enjoyable walk in the park. More than anything else though, I hope it's helped you look at it from an outsiders eyes so you can polish it as much as possible - although going from a few comments on the talk page it may need less work than I thought!

A blast of wind is heard, as the good spaceship Serenity approaches your userpage ...[edit source]
Thank you for supporting the Firefly article! <sarcasm style="obvious">Although, if I may, my plan was really to have it fail VFH after 11 days, have it quasi-featured, start a "Feature Firefly" campaign, and eventually rewrite and have featured the article on Serenity (which is kind of in a mess at the moment).</sarcasm> But thanks anyway!

UnSignpost 20th August, it's not late, your mom is![edit source]
The Newspaper that WILL win Zombiebaron back, damn it.
Date August 20th, 2009 • Issue 61 • Where no news is normal news
Fantasy Football Draft Finished After four weeks of red-hot eight-man free fantasy football league draft action, the first Uncyclopedia Fantasy Football League (UFFL) Draft is finally at a close: Uncyclopedia regular and DiBiase's Millions general manager The Woodburninator made Arizona Cardinals' Kicker Neil Rackers Mr. Irrelevant on the afternoon of August 21th, 2009, a mere 26 hours after the previous pick had been made. Afterward, League Commissioner and noted Nazi sympathizer Guildensternenstein promised to make all subsequent Uncyclopedia Fantasy Football League official actions run much more smoothly. He vowed he would "put the drafted players on their respective fantasy teams" at some point "after I'm done writing this story for the UnSignpost and before I go see Inglorious Bastards later tonight." The draft itself was varied, and picks ranged from the predictable (Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson taken first overall) to the even more predictable (Falcons' running back Michael Turner taken with second overall pick) to the fairly predictable (Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady being the first three quarterbacks taken) to the downright wild. Notable steals include Guildy's nabbing of Chris Johnson in Round 5, Woody's snagging of Aaron Rodgers in Round 6, and Bradaphraser's criminal steal of Dallas tight end Jason Witten. For every good pick, there was a bad one, however: in moves that would make Al Davis proud, LongLiverh3 took Philadelphia's No. 3 receiver while their No. 1 and No. 2 receivers were still on the board, made 30th ranked tight end L.J. Smith the second overall tight end picked, and made Baltimore QB Joe Flacco his backup quarter back while the likes of Matt Schaub, Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning were still available. LongLiver could not be reached for comment. New UnSignpost Editor already having trouble filling up space; Falls upon pointless gimmicks, self-references, long article titles to fill void In a move that has surprised literally 0% of the Uncyclopedia UnSignpost community, the newest UnSignpost editor has already hit a wall in trying to think up new articles for the post. Well, that's not actually true. First he wrote a story trying to beg Zombiebaron to re-subscribe for the post. Then he actually looked at Zombiebaron's userpage to find out that he was actually leaving the site. Needless to say, the presses were called back, and more writing had to be done. Namely, this. Now, we at the post already know what you are thinking. But, since putting those things into print is outlawed in 36 states, two Canadian provinces, and all of Lithuania, we will instead reference the fact that there have been an awful lot of self-referencing in the UnSignpost lately. For that we are truly sorry. Also, we are sorry for self-referencing our own self-referencing. It is truly a problem that continues to build upon itself. We hope to soon continue with the top notch reporting that is so often found in our hallowed archives. Such as the time we wrote about Spang's village dump conquests, or the time we self-referenced how the UnSignpost's lovable mascot, "Dognewspaper" had not been in the Unsignpost for over nine months. Or that time we wrote about the Fantasy Football Draft being finished. Yes, all of those times were good. And we plan - nae, promise - to, in the very near future, continue bringing those kinds of articles to your doorstep. That is, if you don't mind finding a bit of drool upon it. |

Thank you for yet another high-quality, helpful review. Like with my D&D article, I'm going to fix/revise the things you pointed out at some point today, and then have you give it a quick once-over again, if you're not opposed to the idea. Regardless, though, thanks again for the review. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 16:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
- All good. It's easy to review something when you enjoy reading it, and your work always is of a high standard, and you have a decent variety in what you do. I'm surprised it stayed in the queue long enough for me to be the one who ended up reviewing. Pup
- Hah, thanks. As your signature demonstrates, your work is also extremely varied. FYI, I did some reading on the whole "Six Hats" thing, and, in retrospective, I would've voted For rather than Abstain on that article of yours. Due to unforeseen business the last two days, I've been unable to make revisions. However, as soon as they're done, I'll let you know. Thanks again. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 03:09, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- No stress. The PQ is getting a little heavy, so I'm focusing on cleaning that up a little. And never mind on Six Hats - the truth is humour is based upon the gut reaction, if you need to have the joke explained, then it's not worthwhile. I'm expecting that Isaac The Tank Engine may struggle a little because it's not as accessible, but by the same token I think it is written well, and for those who do understand the concept will enjoy it. (So far the only real comments against are from an atheist, and I haven't asked the other one.) Pup
- Yeah, I know what you mean with having an article struggle because of accessibility. The two best things I ever wrote (my two unfeatured UnBooks, if you're curious) never made it anywhere close to the front page due to the whole "accessibility" thing. When you're suave and sophisticated (like us) writing for a place that decidedly isn't, that'll happen. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 15:06, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Alrighty, I made revisions that hopefully also serve as improvements. If you can give the article a quick once-over again and let me know what you think, that would be cool. Take your time, however, I'm in no rush. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 15:47, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Better, but the Mars Volta line is still a little too much. Just saying that they became extinct after Octahedron is enough to make the point for those who understand subtlety, but stopping it at that is probably a little short. Maybe an oblique reference to Darwinian "survival of the fittest" as the reason for the extinction? I've just been brief with the overview - as I said the PQ is a priority for me - so I will come back with a little more detail over the next few days. Pup
- Gotcha, I'll change that as well. For the record, I'm a huge Mars Volta fan, though, I must say, Octahedron was profoundly disappointing. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 02:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- That didn't come across in the writing... I mean the fact that you were a fan, not that you were disappointed. I' call it a departure from their previous, sure, but I would say I was disappointed, but then again I'm not a passionate fan. Pup
- Well, it's hard to get your love of a band across in just one throwaway line, especially when said line deals with one of their few negative facets. But yeah, I'm a big TMV fan, with De-Loused... ranking among my Top 10 favorite albums of all time. While I'm here, two things: what sort of music are you in to?--from the looks of things we probably have fairly similar (if not, somewhat compatible) tastes. Second of all, I saw your message on UU's page, and the Pee situation is sort of out of hand--I did my first Pee in about a month earlier today, and plan on doing one or two more to help things move along tomorrow. Not that any of that is overly important, or anything, I just thought that since tackling the Pee queue is what you're working on at the moment you'd be interested to know that I'm also throwing in some time to the cause, or whatever. —Unführer Guildy Ritter von Guildensternenstein 06:09, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
