UnSignpost and random editor return from two month break, find that not much has changed
After 2 months, one would think that things would change. But from the looks of it, nothing really has for Uncyclopedia in the past few months with out UnSignpost. In particular, the problems in caring, changing things, doing other things and caring have gone from the problems of two months ago, to the problems of now, with nothing really changing. The causes of these problems, discovered after much digging through archives seems to be the general Nobody cares aditude of the site, and the general populations inability to really change anything, because they don't care. A random user who had been missing since around the last issue of UnSignpost made this comment. "Well, when I left, uncyc had been having its own problems and everyone had been complaining about the same things for some time and nobody really cared enough to do anything, or just couldn't make anything happen." says THEDUDEMAN, who had been missing since late September. "I thought I'd come back and see what was happening in the world of Uncyclopedia, and by the looks of it, nothing has changed" While the general population of Uncyclopedia has been alerted to these aging problems, nobody has raised any fuss to get any of them solved. It seems nothing will ever happen because as they all say, nobody cares. UU notices return of USP, hijacks article for own nefarious ends
Yeah, that title pretty much gives it away - evil admin UU has hijacked this section of the USP to announce two festive initiatives: the Mince Pie contest, and the Ban Parto-ho-ho-l, both of which are to be found on his userpage. So if you think you can eat more mince pies this Christmas than UU or current runaway leader Barry Gibb of Bee Gees fame, or if you want to request a friendly festive joke ban for one of your Uncyc chums, get yourselves across to the most festive userpage on the wiki! YOU ARE ALL LAZY TALLYWHACKERS! An Editorial. Alright you lazy sons of bitches (no offense to Zana, of course), what in the hell have you been doing these last few months? Gerry takes time away from this The Post was started by Cajek and Skully in May of 2008. That's really as far as I got with my research though, so I guess your history lesson is over. Regardless, how many amazing stories have been broken from the fine investigative journaling over the years? Like the time we broke the story that the UnSignpost was starting up. Or the time we told everyone Spang's talkpage was destroying the Wikia servers. A problem that still haunts us today. Without this venerable post, those stories never would have been unleashed upon the moronic and ignorant public that includes you, who are both a moron and ignorant. We need this thing to bring us the news, and make us laugh. We need this thing for the sake of parody. But, above anything else, we need this post in order to waste Dexter's time when he's forced to deliver them. Have you seen his edits around here over the past few weeks? That guy's getting to be WAY too useful, and if we don't stop him now, who knows what he'll do next. Fix VFH? Win Last person to edit wins? Nip this in the bud Uncyc. Nip this in the fucking bud. |

- Massively improved - and a pleasure to find a new writer who sees the ICU tag and thinks, "Right - I'll read this and see how I can improve my article" instead of "Wahhhh! How dare anyone suggest my writing isn't perfect?!" If I may, I'd still suggest you add some pictures, however - otherwise, feel free to remove the ICU whenever you choose. Also, if you're planning on sticking around, have you considered signing up for an account on Uncyclopedia?

Guinea pig[edit source]
As the only user name I recognize in the Guinea pig change history: See if you don't think the article has gone straight downhill since the 1-Aug-09 version:
- Just before your last revert there, AnonIP, perhaps trying to clean up the intro with its "shit tube" model of the guinea pig, replaced the intro in its entirely--with random babble.
- Changes since then have been minor and have mostly introduced new memes, including "shoop da whoop"
- A misformatted bit of scatology (though perhaps it's appropriate in the case of the guinea pig) has been added to the final list.
I'm inclined to revert it to the 1-Aug-09 version--unless you do so first, or know of a reason why not to. Spıke ¬ 22:44 4-Jan-10
- I'm inclined to agree, so I've reverted it. You really have to wonder why people bothered adding some of what had been added! Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 09:46, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Heybrew you put a stamp on my page ordering to make it better, while I'd love to make it better and honour your divine Admin overlord powers, I'm not sure what to add, if you could give me an idea that would be great, no matter how funny the horse is running in to the cart I'd really like it to work :D – Preceding unsigned comment added by Alec007 (talk • contribs)
- Good - glad to see you realise that the ICU tags are intended to help rather than merely attack, that's the first (and possibly most important) step to improving an article. Once I've found out who you are (which is why it's best to sign your posts with ~~~~, which reveals all), I'll take a look and see if I can think of anything to suggest. Two things - 1; an ICU is not an order as such. It's simply a suggestion as to what might improve an article and 2; I'm not an admin, and although that doesn't mean I can't offer advice it does mean I can't offer miracles such as turning any water you happen to have lying about into wine or inflicting plagues of frogs upon your enemies, etc. Right, I now know who you are, so I'll have a look at your article in a minute. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 09:50, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Right - first off, are we talking about Wogan as in Terry? If so, parody works better if you write something about Wogan as he exists in reality, rather than as something to do with Warcraft. A little bit of random humour works well, for example the bit about the name deriving from shitman pony, but too much is too much. If you're talking about a different type of Wogan, then it's one I know nothing about; but humour based on reality will still work better. The bits about Mormons and Scientologists could be developed further, as Uncyclopedia will always have room for good old-fashioned religious intolerance (especially when directed at Scientologists; because - let's face it - those guys are just weird.) I would consider adding some pictures, especially if you're not sure what to write. Look at some images connected to the subject and think about how you can use them or change them for comedic effect - this tends to inspire ideas for the text, and even if it doesn't using them will flesh out the page and disguise the fact that there isn't a lot of text to start with. Less important is tidying up the spelling, punctuation, capitalisation and grammar - we realise that this is not everyone's strongpoint and it has no effect on a person's skillfulness as a writer, so we have an Uncyclopedia:Proofreading Service. However, I'm not entirely sure if anyone is still active over there (after all, proofreading with any regularity is all too much like unpaid work) so, should you find that help is not forthcoming, just leave me a message here and I'll proofread it for you. Good luck, and I'll be looking forward to reading your article once you've finished it. In the meantime, feel free to leave any questions here. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 10:08, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
I Certainly Shouldn't Be Kvetching[edit source]
Shalom Rabbi. Thank you for the generous compliments on UnScripts:So What Do the Israelis and the Palestinians Really Want?. Flattery always brightens up one's day :). I don't have any playwriting experience, actually -I have so far only found myself capable of writing angsty short stories and poems with titles like 'Inked Ravens of Despair Claw Holes in the Arse of the World's Mind'. However, I run a MidEast Focus society at my school with a friend, and since we have just completed a "season", if you will, (I hear it's lovely this time of war) on the Arab-Israeli Conflict, we are thinking of putting on sketches highlighting its absurdity, as well as (take your handkerchief out, it gets very sentimental from here) the deeply human longings that both perpetuate the conflict and offer the only way out of it. My ramshackle piece on UnScripts -it's not really a script yet, I haven't really found a way to link even the two things I have written together -is just a way of experimenting with what ideas I have and seeing how people react to it. Anyway, it's wonderful that you are so appreciative; I was just glad no-one deleted it immediately :). I wish I could be Woody Allen, but my writing only acquired a veneer of genuine satire, as opposed to mere silliness, because I have parents who were on opposite sides of that conflict, and tried to make sure that the apartheid wall (woops, I meant fence)never went into my head.
Also, I have read a share of your work on Uncyclopedia -they are awesome. So if you have any advice for extra scenes in my UnScripts, or if you have suggestions for improving existing scenes or linking them together, I would gladly settle down for the sermon (although bagels from La Kosher Nostra, free of charge, are much appreciated). SufiyaFatimaLevi 12:46, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your kind comments re. my articles. I'm a bit of a rubbish critic, unfortunately, so I can't really suggest where to go with yours - however, I notice you've been talking with Mordillo who happens to be a bit of an expert on all things Middle Eastern so I imagine inspiration will be forthcoming from him. Also, I have to confess to a lifelong and decidedly non-kosher dislike of Woody Allen, whom I find almost unbearably tedious - I have little doubt you can writer better than he can!

The Jewishness of Editting the Daily Fascist[edit source]
Thanks for the great bagels Rabbi -I'll save some for Shabbat as well. I only wish I could earn as much as Woody Allen did from writing, when he was around my age -$1500 a week. So, having vindicated that Gentile stereoptype, I proceed to debunk some by the following mini-dialogue:
SufiyaFatimaLevi:So, RabbiTechno, I notice that you are editting the Daily Fascist. I can't understand why. A Nazi libel sheet! Are you some kind of masochist (I know a shop that sells excellent leather thongs at half price, by the way) or, Yishmor HoKei, a self-hating Jew?
RabbiTechno: On the contrary, litle girl. When I used to edit HaEretz, the only articles I could let people print were about riots in the West Bank and Gaza, suicide bombers trained in Saudi Arabia with CIA instructors, and scientological missionaries flooding the Holy Land. But now that I edit the Daily Fascist, I could write so much more true stuff: that the Jews control all the banks, that we dominate the arts, and that we are on the verge of taking over the intellectual world with the slogan: First Uncyclopedia, then Wikipedia! You know, it makes me feel a whole lot better! – Preceding unsigned comment added by SufiyaFatimaLevi (talk • contribs)
- The Daily Fascist - which doesn't actually exist, or not under that exact title at any rate, is a parody of British tabloid the Daily Mail (with which you may be unfamiliar - Uncyc's article on the subject tells you all you need to know in a far more truthful way than either Wikipedia or the Daily Mail's own website). Also, "we are on the verge of taking over the intellectual world"? We had that one stitched up centuries ago! Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 13:31, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I know about the Daily Mail -I currently live in South East London, where it is frequently the only newspaper for sale in local stores. This is the price my mamaleh pays for not living in Golders Green (oy vey she's overpaying), and my baba-habibi for not living on Edgware Road (this price is not rrright). Suffice it is to say that the Daily Mail should be sold to every non-BNP member with travel sickness bags. It was a moment of triumph when Hari Kunzru refused to accept a prize from the Daily Mail for their consistent barrage of bigotry against ethnic minorities. It was one of those golden times of 'gotcha schmendriks...'SufiyaFatimaLevi 13:49, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, a fellow Brit! IMO, someone should break into the Mail printing works one night and tip several gallons of LSD into the ink, so that the next day every Mail reader experiences a full-force acid trip. That'd probably be sufficient to kick-start their lithopedion-like brains into actual thought instead of numb reactionism. Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 14:01, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the bagels! The nom needs no thanks, you wrote a great article and deserve a feature from it.

- Ol' Satchmo is a good soundtrack to most things, I find - what's more, since he was active for around 50 years, he produced enough music to listen to him non-stop every time you make cholent and never have to hear the same song twice; though I can listen to his duets with Ella Fitzgerald repeatedly. I had cholent yesterday too, but since I always add a handful of chopped chillis mine would probably be better classified as "curry that was cooked for a very long time!"

- I know where the term Spharadim comes from - Sepharad. I've got a book by someone called Ari L. Goldman which says it's a biblical site of uncertain location, probably somewhere in Asia Minor but later believed to have been in the Iberian Peninsula (isn't it Hebrew for Spain, in fact? Oh, hang on - yeah, Wikipedia confirms that one). Wikipedia says the same sort of stuff about the location, so I'm assuming that's the case - even though I have a book somewhere (written by those funny Anglo-Israelism chaps) which says it was in Cornwall. I hasten to add that I am not an adherent to British Israelism concepts...:-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 17:25, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

- There are around 400 Jews left in Yemen, the majority having made aliyah before 1950 ("Operation On Wings of Eagles" (there's around 150,000 in the US too), so Yemen has considerably more than Afghanistan, which now has just one Jew named Zablon Simintov - I bet he has trouble trying to organise a minyan). Apparently, Yemenite Jews don't like being called Mizrahi Jews as their unique culture makes them separate to Ashkenazi, Sephardim and Mizrahi.

Uncyclopedia Voting Season Arrives, Users Driven To Voting Frenzy
UnSignpost's fearless reporter and mascot DogNewspaper (pictured) predicts a bumper month for whoring, in-fighting, backstabbing and bitching as users scramble to secure themselves a fleeting moment's recognition from up to several of their peers. Followed by next to no voting in February, as everyone recovers. From the desk of the Cabal: 2010 ordered to be Drama free
As Uncyclopedia drunkenly stumbles into the new decade, barely managing to hold down that spicy dinner it had for lunch, the non-existent cabal would like to wish all residents a happy new year. And by wish we mean order, residents would be subjects and by happy new year we mean fuck you all where communism hasn't failed yet. Yes ladies and gentlemen, we saw it all in 2009. We saw dozens of forums declaring that we're the worst (which we know), we saw numerous editors leave the front door open on the way out (come on people! it's bloody -7 outside!), we saw epic banninations (the simple joys of life), we saw prolific gay bashing (ideologically pure of course), we saw religious wars over sausages, we saw the worst 100 reflections of 2009 barely close before the midnight of December 31st. You promised in 2008 you wouldn't do that. You failed us. And so, ladies and gentlemen, we raise our collective arses from the toilet which was 2009, wiping it with the first anniversary edition of the UnSignpost, as this is the only good thing that ever came out of this rag of a newspaper. We would like to ask humbly that the population of Uncyclopedia do the following: Please, for the love of Sophia, remain calm; exit the building in an orderly fashion; remember that objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are; understand that allergen traces may be found in this Uncyclopedia. And always remember the prime directive: you are here to have fun. Or in short - shut the fuck up and go write an article. Thank you for your undivided attention citizens. You may now remove your muzzles. |

Awards of the Year race thrillingly poised
In the most prestigious award of the lot, Writer of the Year, the race for second place behind prolific funny factory and champion-elect Hype is neck and neck between apparently-no-longer-hirsute TKF fan-club president and feature-machine Guildy and low-profile but high-quality-output, er, feature-machine Sog1970. But wait! There's still a chance they could get caught by the chasing pack of little-known and modest Scouser Mhaille, hetero macho-man Orian57, antipodean canine PuppyOnTheRadio and none-more-metal mosher Monika. Oh, and some other chancers have been nommed without polling a single vote (including DrStrange, who is currently looking likely to become the first Uncyclopedian ever to win WotM twice, but hasn't carried that form over to WotY - odd). Meanwhile, over at PotY, the race for second place behind Sonje is even closer, with both Modus and some n00b polling a creditable one nom but no votes each! Who will pull ahead by the end of the month? It's a competition you just can't keep your eyes off! Disappointingly, the UotY vote lets the side down, with seemingly a boring old race for first place between Belgian one-man categorisation whirlwind, maintenance addict, broken thing fixer, BUTT POOP!!! junkie and footwear-as-handwear exponent Socky and handsome English admin who wrote this article and is not in the least bit biased UU. The apparent scramble to be runner-up to whichever of these two is runner-up is far more interesting, as non-stop wikifixer MadMax goes up against Welsh Rarebit RabbiTechno, not-Yorkshire-enough admin Mordillo, vowel-free-zone Mnbvcxz and Moterfucking Nigger Lover Roman Dog Bird. Damned with the faint praise of a nom with no votes in this category are the pants bomber, talk page king FU Spang, human non-sequitur generator Modus and absent but deadly hockey nut Gerry. And finally, over where it's really at, the NotD cockfight is almost impossible to call! Will plucky outsider RC hold off the challenge of Apple, Apples and Maddie's life? The tension is quite literally unbearable! But remember kids: whoever "wins", we're all still losers. And now, your not-at-all-struggling-for-material Signpost brings you... Horoscopes!
For the rest of this week's horoscopes in full, see the horoscopes page, obviously. |

Continuing Absence Of Certain Users Forces Other Users To Do Things
Also bravely stepping into the "ban magnet" position created by the continuing and lamented absence of hyperactive loon Cajek is, well, a plethora of users. Admins, deprived of their favourite joke-ban target, have taken to joke banning anyone in an attempt to get their fix. Even those devoted to doing only good, just and true works have recently been targeted; and as if to prove this very statement, some power-crazed asshole went and joke banned Socky, RabbiTechno and Optimuschris as soon as he'd written this sentence. Elsewhere, ChiefjusticeDS has been filling the gap left by the absence of someone's enthusiasm for anything pee-related right at the moment by looking after the pee list, taking over as the person with the most in-depth reviews, reviewing everyone else's reviews, and generally not being lazy about it all. At the same time, the continuing absence of the yellow and black sig of Gerrycheevers has forced grumbling British curmudgeon UU to return to the Wiki's only newspaper, the UnSignpost, churning out issues that are, let's be honest, mere placeholders until Gerry gets his arse back here and writes something worth reading. YOU HEAR ME GERRY? GET THE FUCK BACK HERE NOW DAMMIT!Rumours that, in the relative absence of Orian57, Roman Dog Bird will take over the position of "token gay" are unconfirmed at the time of going to press. And finally, in the absence of enough content to make this issue balance out nicely, the UnSignpost is once again resorting to using blatant filler for the first time this year. Shameless, that's what it is. Complain to someone - it's the only way they'll learn. |

For the ongoing service and being able to wad in poo day after day after day after day after[edit source]
I bestow upon you the prestigious FEATHER IN YOUR CAP AWARD! Rejoice, because thou art the Chief Rabbi of Poo! ~ 12:36, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
- But seriously, many thanks for all the the hard work you've put into the place, and especially for being...you! ~ 13:03, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Interesting typo there - wad. Wad is a term often employed to refer to sperm, as in blow one's wad (though publications using such a phrase are unlikely to also refer to the first person as one, or so I'm told by those familiar with such journals). I would like to point out that I do not, at least commonly, blow my wad into or over poo; because to do so would be distinctly odd. However, attempting to claim that such an event has never occurred would be both disprovable and ridiculous, thanks to cameras of reasonable quality now being so affordable as to place them into the hands of rentboys and others who might have an interest in blackmailing clients. Furthermore, the feather has been joyfully received and added to my streimel, just in time to mark my fourth Uncyclopedian birthday which is due in a mere few days' time. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 12:56, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

- Yep. I'm counting from my very first edits as an IP, (21:53, February 9, 2006 62.253.128.12 (Talk)) - there was, in fact, an even earlier contribution, but it was an article that was rapidly huffed and best forgotten.

(Should it transpire that your parents are in fact named Golda and Manny, I shall be freaked at my own spooky powers). I suppose I really ought to subtract my several - and lengthy - periods of absence from my total years on Uncyc, but I shan't so as to keep my four years intact. Also, yes. That article needs to be finished - I'm going to be out most of today (and am regretting the several shots of whisky I had during and after seeing a play last night; but will admit the second half benefited greatly from intoxication), so it's in your hands for now.

- To be honest, I need to finish the P`tach and the Kenidalach and then clean up everything. I think we have there other than that. Do you want to do the Kneidal part? Also, there is currently 20% off all whiskeys in Amsterdam's main liqueur store. I was contemplating yesterday between a bottle of Black Bush or The Black Grouse. I also thought about Laphroeg, but I'm a bit scared of this one :) ~ 10:28, February 5, 2010 (UTC)
- That's almost worth flying over for - I reckon Stanstead to the 'Dam can probably be done for less than £40 return if you fly with one of the airlines that still use Sopwith Camels and lock you into a cattle crate during the journey. All I'd need to do is buy 20 or so bottles and I'd make a saving. I seriously recommend that, if you've not tried Laphroaig before, take the 20% off opportunity to do so. It is indeed scary stuff, being distilled from stuff such as darkness and death in addition to the usual barley, but IMO and that of others there is no dram quite like it. Also, if you don't like it, you can always send it to me :-). I'll have a look at what you've done with the article and see what I can do with kneidalach. Oh - one other thing.

Spang Archives Talkpage; End of World Expected Imminently
Award Winners Speak Exclusively to UnSignpost Well, there you go folks, looks like the "... of the Year" award voting is done and dusted for another year. Thanks to all who voted; without you, the admins would probably have less to do, which would obviously be dangerous. Anyway, that aside, your ever-topical Unsignpost went and mugged the various winners for comments on their various wins. Several of them, of course, have already made their feelings clear to those who voted for them by way of the traditional thanks templates. Apart from UU, because he's a lazy ass. Or because he's busy writing this. Whichever. Anyway again, for the benefit of those who didn't vote for the winners, and don't watch their talk pages, here's what they had to say: Runaway WotY Hype said: "Thanks, you guys!! If you'll permit me to be dead serious for the first time ever on the wiki, this really is an honor, and it's pretty damn touching that so many people came out in support of my work. Whew. Being serious felt weird. I feel... strange. BALLS BALLS PENIS COCK. Ah... there's the stuff!" He then went off to write another My Sojourn spin-off. Even more runaway PotY Sonje said: "Thank you, I intend to return as soon as I can. I am currently in Africa with very limited internet access. I'll try to time my return to co-incide with the Oscars so that I can get some pointers for my acceptance speech." Admittedly, that was before we asked her for a comment, but then, she is in Africa with limited internet access. Joint UotY Socky channeled Churchill to say: "*scrapes throat* Ahem! I would like to say to the community as I would say to anyone who joined this website: Uncyclopedia has nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs — Victory in spite of all error — Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival. … That seems to be the wrong Churchill speech. Okay, I'll give it another try. *scrapes throat again* The gratitude of every home throughout the world, except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out to the British airmen and Belgian spies who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of the Wiki War by their prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to two people. And so on and so on… Woot! Woot!" Long-winded bugger. And other joint UotY UU said: "wow, Socky's already left me needing a lot of filler for the right panel, so I'll keep this shortish. First, it's good to see someone who isn't an admin get their hands on this award, and Socky's hard work deserves recognition. Second, it's great to have my complete lack of a life recognised in this way. Third, did someone say Spang's archived his talk page? What the fuck's that all about?." Oh, and Dr. Skullthumper was UGotY, but that was a foregone conclusion anyway. He didn't seem to have any comment of his own to make, so TKF hopped in to the breach with "I call the award a "fascist disgrace" and "move to permanently disbar Mike Socia, that ape from Lighting who made my mole visible to all of the goddamn world watching the ceremony."" Which about wraps it all up, I hope. |

Well, since you ask, perhaps judging it could? Max is also looking for at least 4 more opinionated types, unafraid of passing withering judgement on their peers. If you're interested in judging or entering, or if you have a good idea that would elevate this competition from being a damn good idea to a colossally awesome one, let MadMax know either on his talk page, or on the article's talk page.

Mordillo nearly went mad attempting to feature all articles tied for tenth place in the top 10 of last year. And then spent the rest of this month to date patiently fielding questions about how long the rest of the featuring was going to take, and when normal featuring would resume. POTR did his best to help. When not asked for a quote, Mordillo said "FUCK YOU VERY MUCH AND SEE YOU IN 2011". We think he's just talking about the top 10, and not about taking a 10 month hiatus. That is, we hope so. A recent VFD nomination ended in a deletion marathon, as MrN and RDB spent 2 hours removing every last trace of the notorious Game:Page. Apart from the traces Mordillo deleted, that is. And the redirects to it that UU took care of, come to think of it. But still, all told, an impressive act of mass carnage only made more awesome by the fact that they somehow managed to delete Socky's userpage at one point during the proceedings. MrN claims "Both RDB and me still have sore huffing fingers you know". |

Understanding of the universe is shattered; Creation as we know it is defunct
One of the most controversial elements of religious understanding has been the answer to the question "How did we get here?" This has often been seen in the debate that has been long held between Creationists and Evolutionists. Now that Imperial Colonisation is back on its feet, under the able guidance of IC Buccaneer Admiral Why?, they are educating the masses on this as we speak. "The article had been befouled by some evil doers, probably French or Spanish or Americans or worse. We are diligently researching and writing to bring the article in line with the Truth." stated Buccaneer Admiral Why?. A dramatic re-write is in process, as Why? has all his seamen working towards the noble goal of indoctrinating the masses in Creationist theory. After some false starts involving a banana and a jar of peanut butter, the recreation of creationism is being created. "The colonized article will show how the Empire has the right and duty to colonize everywhere by any methods available, and that anything we do is God's will. We will finish it by Saturday, 20 of February, or by Saturday, 27 of February, depending upon how long it takes us to colonize the natives. Anyone who wishes to apply to join our noble effort may do so at Uncyclopedia:Imperial Colonization." Why? stated in closing. Darwin awards - Uncyclopedia Stylie
Fortunately he showed the resilience that 10 year olds have when they are in the middle of doing something completely idiotic, and continued to trawl through people's talk pages, undo their edits, and generally be a dick. MrN9000, understanding the right balance of politeness and harshness, gave I LIKE PIE!!! a friendly message on his talk page, with a 1 week ban to support the severity of his words. Undeterred, I LIKE PIE!!! later returned. 1 week and 35 minutes after his previous ban, MrN repeated his previous words to the young man, along with a further 1 week ban. Thankfully, it appears that I LIKE PIE!!! took MrN's words to heart, as he managed to last a further 30 minutes after this second ban before he ran afoul of Roman Dog Bird, who in true RDB style demonstrated what an infinite ban actually means. When hard-hitting journalists pressed for details relating to the banning of this pre-pubescent pestilence, MrN replied "What kinda a journalist are you man!?!" Congratulations, I LIKE PIE!!!, for becoming the inaugural Uncyclopedia Darwin award winner, and removing yourself from the meme pool that we all enjoy. |

A gitte shabas![edit source]
I think we did good with the cuisine article, allow me to doff my cap to you on yet another great collab! And now, on to the next conquering...? Also, tonight's dinner: Cholent with chicken, eggplanet in Tahini, home made humus, burgul salad, spicy Moroccan carrot salad and coffee and almonds cake. Hooray for Jews! ~ 09:42, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
- Shabbat shalom and agreed - there was a time halfway through when we seemed to run out of steam and I wondered if it was going to end up being abandoned, but it came together rather nicely in the end and everyone seems to like it. Let's hope the kashrut one is a success too! Dinner sounds good - we had cholent last week and I found an extra packet of dried mixed beans close to the use by date in the cupboard so I added them to it and ended up eating cholent for four days in a row, so you can imagine what it was like round here by Wednesday (let's just say the UK has secured its supply of natural gas for the next decade or so). Our ferrets liked the eggs, but as we named them Mordechai and Yentl they ought to like kosher stuff. I was going to make it again today, but Mrs. Techno doesn't fancy it. Shiksas, eh? Made some rather tasty latkes yesterday however, had them with hummus (though ours was from the shop rather than home-made) and chollah since I've discovered there's a stall on our local market that sells it; which all in all works out a hell of a lot cheaper than going to London for it. Coffee and almond cake sounds good - any chance of a copy of the recipe?
- Sure, I'll see if I can find it in English, and if not I'll translate it. Also, you need to update your hall of shame entry. ~ 09:56, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
- I'd forgotten all about the hall of shame actually. I'm counting Ptok as a co-author too, his contributions form an important part of the article. Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 10:09, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

- Well, even a nicely-phrased joke deserves some reward I think. I need to find something to do as well - the missus is at work, the ferrets have gone back to sleep, I can't think of anything to write and it's probably too early to start drinking.

Silent Spring[edit source]
Hi. Have done a bit with Silent Spring, maybe a couple of more photos would do it. Thoughts? Do you think more writing would be needed for the page? Aleister in Chains 11:45 25 2 2MX
- Wow - I'm impressed, especially with pictures. Did you make them? I wouldn't add any more images unless you decide to add more text because doing so is likely to crowd the page a bit. As for the text itself, what's already there is good so I don't think it needs any more, but if you have any good ideas for additions then do it. It's looking great. Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 12:10, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

For some Whoring, that's where I came by the Camera Obscura page nommed for VFH, imnho one of the best pages on the site). I like using pics which aren't used much on mainspace, makes the articles fresh. Agreed on text, except for a general clean-up and brief edit sweep I didn't change the language structure. Will go in now and highlight the opening statement somehow, to set it apart from the rest of the text. I'm not good with coloring text, will have to learn more about that. Thanks again, and keep away from the pesticide pies. ~ 21:06 25 2 2MX
- That explains it - I knew I'd seen the one with fox's head somewhere before. I'm not too hot on colouring or resizing text either so I just copy and paste the code other people have used and then find the html code for the colour I want using Photoshop - like this- if that's any help to you.

Yes, I was addressing you sir! I was just passing and remembered that you are our resident Raptor image manipulation expert. I was just wondering if you might think it fun to quickly knock up an image for this? It's not an article I have had any involvement in, I just thought you might fancy doing it as I know you already have the Raptors, and almost certainly some chainsaws lying around their house. I mean, who doesn't right? MrN 11:02, Feb 27
- So making one raptor image makes me the recognised expert, does it? Blimey - if only getting a PhD was that easy! However, I shall take a look, and if I can't make one I'll just shave one of my ferrets and get it to hold a chainsaw (which, as it happens, I do happen to own - one can never be sure when one may be required to defend one's property from zombies/aggressive shrubs) in a menacing manner and take a photo. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 12:07, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
- Not not sure it's a good idea to let your ferret have a go on your chainsaw, but maybe... Well, obviously you own a chainsaw. I had taken that as a given. I myself am currently looking forward to felling some furs for my parents in a few weeks actually... In addition, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm OK. MrN 12:19, Feb 27

Games, games and more games! We have more games then you can poke a stick at!
Is the games namespace 99.9% shit was the question elegantly asked by OptyC recently. A simple question that has sparked a storm in a teacup. While Uncyclopedia is, undoubtably, the pinnacle of fine parody, it has been suggested the this particular poor cousin of the Main space has been allowed to fall into disrepair and disrepute due to the influx of poorly crafted content. In the words of one editor Delete it. It's cruft and I'm not even sure if it qualifies as a parody namespace of anything on Wikipedia. However, despite the lack of quality content, a significant portion of users have requested that it remain in play, however it be improved by having a little tender loving care given to it, along with a more rigid amount of cruft huffing. As such, it is with open arms we welcome the inclusion into this realm of the new moderator of the Games namespace OptyC, who will be referred to going forward as the Game Master. Upon the announcement of this singularly spectacular accolade, Optyc's first words were Maybe I shoulda just kept my mouth shut, eh?

A new blow to the "democrats"/"liberals"/"whiny bitches" of Uncyclopedia, opposing the disputed hereditary law. Senior member of the non existent Cabal and editor-in-chief-in-absentia of this newspaper, UU has announced the birth of heiress to the throne, also known as UUette. UUette was reportedly born holding a scepter and a miniature ban hammer, wearing a crown and QVFD grade galoshes and waving frantically at the hysterical cheering masses. The non existent cabal promptly announced a reserved seat for UUette in the VFS round of 2026 as well as the prestigious position of "Noob of the Month". A shrouded spokesperson for the Cabal noted that "it would have been important for the Cabal, were it to exist, that the existing Cabal dynasty, especially one coming from such a quality genetic specimen such as UU, shall continue without disturbance. The Cabal is greatly pleased with UU and Mrs. UU for bolstering its numbers for the Sporadic demonstration of support were noted around the Uncyclopedia realm, as supporters of the Cabal were seen with "DEAR UUette IS GREAT" and "ALL HAIL THE HEIR APPARENT" signs.

I got a bizarre request from someone who is looking for a crash course in Hebrew in the London area. Got any tips? ~ 16:29, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Drive around the M25 really fast while reading the Hebrew Torah and not looking out of the window? MrN 19:14, Mar 1
- Meh, it's been done already. ~ 19:20, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Nothing off the top of my head, but Google reveals these that might be worth looking into. The Communicaid one with the post code EC3A 5BU is Central London, near Aldgate and Fenchurch Street tube stations so it'd be easy to get to. The Bank of England and the Gherkin are both nearby too if your friend fancies site-seeing). The Grade 1 listed Bevis Marks Synagogue, oldest shul to be still in use in the UK, is in the area too if he or she fancies having a look/doing a bit of davening (or whatever the Sephardim do instead, it being a Sephardic synagogue) while in the area - it's also not too far to Stamford Hill if he or she needs kosher food. If he or she wants to go a bit further afield, Communicaid's other course in Cheltenham is about 140km from London (you could do the trip by train with no problems). Cheltenham is quite close to Stonehenge and Avebury, should he or she fancy seeing British sites of worship a fair bit older than Bevis Marks.

Controversy over Uncyclopedian leads journalist to public outcry
The "of the Month" nominations and celebrations have been marred recently by drama circulating in forums, talk pages and on vote pages in various areas. Fortunately, whenever and wherever a drama has reared its ugly head an Unsignpost reporter has been there to cover it. Why do I need to provide this? is now experiencing his second week of not having been nominated for anything. After mentioning to a respected editor that he had been nominated for at least one award for almost every day he had been part of the Uncyclopedia community, he bemoaned the fact that he had not been nominated for anything this month. "I've been nommed for something EVERY SINGLE DAY of the five months I've been here--until this month. I'm not nommed for anything. It's pretty depressing, really." Why? complained As a result of this complaining, Why? was then nominated for an award that had been more respected in the breach then in the observance - to paraphrase the bard - Nomination of the Month. When, after a series of events, Roman Dog Bird felt obliged to nominate Aleister in Chains' Nomination for NOTM of PuppyOnTheRadio's nomination for NOTM of Why do I need to provide this?'s nomination of PuppyOnTheRadio for UGotM, he simply stated "This is a stupid award." Meanwhile, at UotM, discussion over the number of awards given out led to an obvious discussion about the worth of RotM and UotM, which of course led, as all conversational roads do, to the hugely popular and debatably talented Dan Brown, not to be confused with Dan Kwon, as we aren't quite sure who he is. The debate got unexpectedly heated when a talented and handsome editor suggested that another less talented editor should perform carnal and bestial acts with random household appliances. Remember to cast your vote in AotM, PotM, RotM, NotM and WotM, or nominate the uncyc member that has impressed you most in these areas. And of course, always remember Mordillo's words, "This one is for people who made Uncyclopedia better by cleaning up shop, helping people and allow Uncyclopedia to wobble around without falling over." Vote today. Or tomorrow - depending on if you have the time.
And with the current vote count standing at 6 in favour, and with few regularly active sysops left to vote, it looks like the chances are that there will be new sysops by the end of this month - so time to start deciding who you're gonna nominate! Who will be the next to have a thousand IPs ask them on their talkpage why they deleted their useless little one-line stub? Stay tuned to find out? |

- I did, and it couldn't have come at a better time because I had a heated discussion with somebody about the Lemba a few weeks ago. I find them absolutely fascinating and their claims to be Jews have been more than enough to convince me that they are ever since I first heard of them, whereas the person I was arguing with disputed that they even exist and claimed that if they do, they muct have adopted outside influences and cannot really be Jews - so I rather hope he's reading the recent stories and thinking, "Oy, looks like that hippy I was talking to the other week was right all along!" I suspect some parts of Jewish society and going to be fairly resistant to them, however - there's a very unpleasant section that refuses to believe it's possible to be both black and Jewish.

Investigative journalist looks in to the cabal; Shocking discovery Many veiled references have been made to this cabal, however until now there has been no real investigative attempts to uncover the shocking truth about the cabal. However, despite this, one plucky rookie journalist has decided that the truth must be free, and an investigation into the cabal has been undertaken. Investigating this it appears that the rumours relating to a cabal have come from numerous sources. In investigating this there were a number of dead ends, including pages that appear to have been deleted with no history. One source has come forward to expose the truth about the cabal. Under threat of repercussion, this source has been asked to be known simply as Deep Throat. Upon interviewing this source the following shocking truth has been discovered! There is no cabal.
Any rumours about a supposed cabal are completely untrue. Any suggested sources are in fact fictional and have no veracity behind them. There is no shadowy, mysterious force guiding Uncyclopedia. As I, as a respected journalist, have now been made well aware of the non-existence of this cabal, I am now comfortable to retire my journalistic career. I will shortly be taking a long trip to a very remote location where there is no phone or internet access and will choose to never write again. I may even go to Antarctica. But most importantly, there is not now, nor never has been, a cabal.A useful HowTo? does not compute!
If there were a Cabal (which, as the above article clearly establishes beyond doubt, there isn't), it would encourage you to read it and never write a bad UnNews again. |

Leading the popular vote at present is long-serving poopsmith and kvetcher RabbiTechno, gaining a seemingly unassailable lead by being helpful, friendly and competent, and by promising to bake cakes for all who vote for him - a ploy which may well have snared the support of more than just the odd swing voter. In a comfortable position just behind the Rabbi is lengthily-monikered Belgian workhorse Sockpuppet of an unregistered user, the joint Uncyclopedian of the Year for 2009, who seems to be gathering followers by being helpful, competent, friendly, and doing loads and loads of stuff. This cunning stratagem has obviously endeared him to the denizens of this wiki, who seem to be propelling him towards having his own banstick. But hold on, who's this coming up stealthily behind Socky? Why, it's pee review supremo and scourge of vandals everywhere ChiefjusticeDS! The Chief is steadily accumulating backers through the cunning tactic of being competent, helpful and friendly. He also rules PEEING with an iron fist, and spends inordinate amounts of time cleaning and tidying up the place, facts that have led to him coming within striking distance of the leaders in what appears to be a three-horse race. One thing is clear from this - all 3 of the most popular candidates appear to be helpful and friendly, which this newspaper finds unacceptable - where is the next Famine going to come from? where will we find an admin willing to infiban users and delete all their articles just for looking at someone the wrong way, or for being Kip the Dip? Also nominated, and receiving some support are current Writer of the Year and greatest person in the history of all things ever Hyperbole, diplomat by Uncyc appointment to all religions Optimuschris, canine broadcaster and damn fine journalist PuppyOnTheRadio, allcaps-named VFD machine SPIKE, confirmed female on the internets Zana Dark, easy-to-spell feature-machine Guildensternenstein and jaded old-timer Necropaxx. Other people have been nominated without recording a score as yet, but as this article is already long enough to have the editor wondering how many filler boxes he can dream up for the right-side panel this week, they just appear as a brief list: Mnbvcxz, Cajek, Gerrycheevers, Syndrome, The Woodburninator, Why do I need to provide this?, Charitwo and some bloke called Mhaille.

Lol. I'm not sure you ever did any poopsmithing from the lounge did ya? HeHe. You're meant to move em over to VFD if you think they are good noms! Not vote on em on the pooping page! That's after kicking puppy in the balls first for not just using the VFD page himself. Votes don't count for VFD unless they are made on VFD, and the lounge is meant to new users and IPs.

- I assumed Puppy wasn't sure whether or not they were VFDable, and while I think they are I was hoping to get a third opinion.

Forty Horsemen[edit source]
Hi, I'm the guy who made the forty horseman page. I'm not done with it yet, so give me a little while. I'm going to try to add some pics, but of course I have to make sure they're not copywrited photos. Also, the story is only half done, so anyway, I should have things looking good in seven days. – Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbryant (talk • contribs)
- Good stuff. Don't take the ICU personally - they're intended to act as a guide when new articles are created, so if you're already planning to do the stuff I suggested you can ignore it. If you wish, remove the tag and replace it with {{construction}} instead - this will give it a similar stay of execution and prevent anyone from deleting it before you've finished. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 17:27, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
QVFD Mistake[edit source]
Hey I accentually added Armchairs to QVFD. Im going to remove it but I just wanted to tell you because I saw the warning. — MUN CPT DAD 21:26, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

UnSignpost 25th March 2010 (hand delivered for added flavour)[edit source]
The Only Newspaper That Is Not Controlled By The Cabal Who Are You What Are You Doi- AAAAHHHHH
Mar 25th, 2010 • Issue 81 • So full of news, our news-gut hangs over our news-jeans
VFS reaches third and final round, Uncyclopedians bored to tears
Once again, the Rabbi appears to be in pole position, and there are rumours that Mordillo is already preparing him a traditional Jewish banstick, such is his current lead. Meanwhile, Sock and Chief are neck-and-neck for the second slot, polling three votes each currently. When he interviewed himself for this article, lazy journalist UU exclusively told us: "this reflects well on the site - we have three great, very strong candidates, any and all of whom would do a great job if opped. And a number of those who didn't make it to round 3 will probably make a much stronger showing next time. If there is a next time." All that remains now is to see how the final few days affect the vote, and who finally gets the supreme honour of being able to go delete every single page of shitloads of crappy games that have been nommed on VFD, and the like. Joins us next week for the "From Our Logs" new admin special, when we analyse their first bans, and watch as these new admins mercilessly ban the unlucky loser and abuse their new powers flagrantly. Hopefully. Top 5 Of-The-Months Become 90% Cheesier
Well known and completely badass user CheddarBBQ, known for his increasing his own self-image, and for being one of the coolest guys ever, has now set a record by being nommed for all four "big" nominations in the same month. Even more impressive, he has been nommed for these four without doing much of anything deserving of awards (besides the aforementioned alleged coolness and/or badassedness). The always tasty Eyetallyan snackfood has been able to hold tightly to last place in each one of these all month. When asked about his newfound record, the great man/food had this to say: "I always knew I was special. The bag of cheese curls that I referred to as "Mommy" for 15 years would tell me so on a regular basis. Also, suck it bitchez." Of course the amazing record-breaker would think well of himself, so we went elsewhere, to question his adopted son, Momo. When asked about the excitement over the record, Momo claimed, "Papa De La Rosa is, like, the greatest dad ever, I used to have so much fun with him when I was little. Ya know, he once left me inside an oven when I was a baby, went for a beer and got me out the following morning. That was fun, I'm tellin' ya. And when I was 4, he left me in an amusement park, went for a beer and came to pick me up a whole week later. I spent that week with that nice guy who kept touching my ass.. Good times.. When I was 7, he took me for a beer. And by the age of 14, we were running our small liquor-smuggling business.. Oh yeah, he's a great guy." Curiously, his comment did not much relate to the matter at hand, yet it was deemed necessary to include it anyway. It appears to be abundantly clear that Cheddar is a marvel of a man whom we can all look up to. In other news, it appears that Don Chedds is about to set another record by being the first Uncyclopedian to drastically lose all five major awards in one month. It appears to be abundantly clear that Cheddar is a marvel of a man whom we can all look up to. Here's to you, CheddarBBQ. Oh yeah, and some other people had something to do with it as well. Note: The writer of this article has decided that a fact check as to whether or not either of these are true records would be unnecessary. |

You need the practice[edit source]
Because there's just the slightest, barely remote chance that you'll be made an admin, I thought I'd give you some practice with the sort of questions us non-admin types ask admins. Ahem.
Is there a policy on Uncyclopedia that we can't use articles that appeared somewhere else as long as they aren't copyrighted or are under a Creative Commons license, and we identify them as being from somewhere else? After all, we ripoff borrow images all the time. The reason I'm asking is I might want to tie in an already existing, kopyleft article to one some friends and I are putting together. Our article would be original, but I'm thinking about putting the other one up too. User:Why do I need to provide this?/sig7 02:21, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
- To the best of my knowledge, and provided the article is as you say copyleft/copyright free and so on, it's absolutely fine - we do in fact have a template which I believe is intended for articles "sporked" from elsewhere, which is here. There used to be quite a few borrowed articles in the earlier days of Uncyc, but most of them have been replaced by original writing now. Like I say, this is very much as far as I know, so check with someone who knows the technicalities if you want to make sure. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 10:55, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
- I would put it down to sporking as a basis to an article = good, plagiarism = bad this is not my talk page but I see all ~ 11:14, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
- That's roughly what I assumed. So, in other words, 'Dillo confirms that doing what you plan to do is fine. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 11:19, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the go ahead! Also I am such a whore using a Rabbi signature on the talk page of a Rabbi who will probably soon become an admin User:Why do I need to provide this?/sig7 19:45, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

Arabic numerals[edit source]
I have some more on Arabic numerals. These ideas were excerpted from an op-ed-sized piece (which no one has taken) on the subject. I'll rework it and add to the Uncyclopedia article.
I discovered Uncyclopedia just yesterday when I googled Hindemith. Hilarious Hindemith entry.

A Goy's Guide to Passover[edit source]
Just had an idea for an article--a Gentile, probably well-intentioned, gets it all wrong. What think? I know it's rather late for such an idea. (I'm posting this on Mordillo's page too). User:Why do I need to provide this?/sig7 03:58, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure it has potential - Passover and the seder are relatively complex so there's plenty of opportunity to mess it up. Make a start and I'll have a look and see what I can do to help you. :-) Rabbi Techno kvetch Contribs FOXES 13:29, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
- Mordillo posted he likes the idea and wants to talk about it with you. I would be happy to help with it, but don't feel qualified to lead it.
- I have a confession to make, here, though. My suddenly posting more message on your talk page is actually not because you're likely to become an admin and I'm doing the kissing up thing (OK, so maybe my post asking you a question as a possible future admin was exactly that, but this isn't.). I'm still trying to get my creative best friend, who happens to be a real Jew and not a fake one like I am, to sign up here. We've had long discussions about the Jewish religion and holidays, and I keep trying to woe him into signing up here. If I can get him excited about an article, maybe I'll get him to join.
- Also here's a stupid riddle I just made up:
- Q. What do you call a non-Jewish homosexual man?
- A. A goy gay guy.
I may not be around much[edit source]
We've had a death in the family, so I don't know when I'll be around for the next week, at least. Would you mind checking occasionally UnNews to see if everything's OK? Thanks. Rev. Zim_ulator (Talk) I am the dirt under your rollers 14:38, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
