So when do we start writing Sir? Are you becoming as lazy as you are handsome? ~ Mordillo where is my NICARAGUA? 12:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- I refer the honourable gentleman to my comments in the forum Forum:(Another) open letter to the Cabal. I'm busy as a bastard at work at the moment, and so general maintenance work and Signpost scribblings are all I have time to fit in in between large amounts of stressing and working like a paranoid beaver. And that's without the continuing travails of Mrs UU's family taking up most of my evenings... I'd love to get going on that article. And on the collab I'm supposed to be doing with DJI. And the article I told PP I'd have a tinker with. And the article MrN requested. And the... Yeah, you get the idea anyway. There is nothing I'd like to do more than settle down to some proper writing. I've just got no idea at all when I'll be able to do it! I haven't forgotten buddy. Promise! --UU - natter 13:24, Dec 4

UnSignpost: 4th December 2008 (yea, we know it's late)[edit source]
The Newspaper With No Ambitions, Goals, Hopes or Dreams!
December 4th • Issue 27 • Smiting the nail of news with the plastic hammer of truth
Sycamore: How does he do it? An UnSignpost Special Investigation But who is this masked Celt? Well, since changing identity from MMACKNIGHT in March 2008, he's racked up an impressive 18,000 edits (or he will have by the time this paper is actually delivered - it's hanging at 17.940-odd at the time of typing). Many of these edits have been thanklessly categorising pages, voting for deletion, reverting and ban patrolling - the kind of soul-crushing work, in other words, that would sap the will to live of the average individual, but not our Syc. His efforts have not gone un-noticed. Indeed, he's been re-nommed for Uncuclopedian of the Month, even though he's already won the award. And despite the understandable reluctance of the non-existent cabal to swell their non-existent ranks, there is a small but significant groundswell of opinion gathering that this should be followed by the bestowing of a Banhammer on the cheery Caledonian. All of this is interesting, of course, and handily fills up column inches in this week's issue, but it doesn't answer the burning question: how does he do it? Once again spending no expense on uncovering the truth, your fearless UnSignpost has the answers, and they lie in his welcome message, and a gratuitous stereotype of his nationality. Yes, Jaffa Cakes and Irn Bru are the fuel of choice of this salutary Scot, and it would appear that the chemical reaction of these two volatile substances in his bloodstream creates an energy level easily the equivalent of at least a small-to-medium Hadron Collider. This is sufficient to cause in him a state not unequivalent to that Scientific Holy Grail, perpetual motion. So there you go kids: that's how he does it!Warning: Your safety-conscious UnSignpost would like to point out that Irn Bru is only known to have this beneficial effect on Scots. Those from less tartan countries would be advised to steer well clear - don't try this at home, kids! From the Cabal's desk |

What zo you think about writing ze whole fafikte article in the red and black colors of the fatherland? ~ Mordillo where is my NICARAGUA? 16:12, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- And yellow - don't forget yellow. But actually, I'm not sure. It might look off-puttingly garish. I'm already wondering if that table can be formatted to be a little less in-your-face. And pondering other ideas as well. I like what you've written though, don't get me wrong! Man, what I really need is a few days off work for some serious writing time. Roll on christmas hols! --UU - natter 10:21, Dec 10

Igor[edit source]
Eh, the alligator bit at the beginning I'm not all that fond of, mainly because it makes the entire article feel like it's the same formula over and over, so it's less of a surprise, and I think good humor has a large element of surprise. But perhaps it makes it funnier to others, I'm not sure. I do recognize the wiki nature of this site, and just because I wrote the article initially doesn't mean it has to be exactly the way I like it. The important thing is for it to get funnier for the general public with each edit (and it seems to be doing much better in VFH than it did before, so perhaps it is seen by most as funnier that way?). The other edits (the format and such) don't bother me. And thanks for the nomination. --NotANinja 16:28, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I see your point about the alligator bit - I just thought it set up the running joke. I don't think the success on VFH is down to the changes though, I think it's down to 2 things - 1. At the time, I seem to recall a spate of really crap articles nominatmed by IPs, so people took one look at the first line, thought "that seems badly written", and then went back and voted. 2. People take nominations more seriously when they're by an established user as opposed to an IP, so they're more likely to read all of it and get the joke. Remove the alligator bit if you want, I don't think it'll affect it adversely. I was just trying to make a few edits in line with the spirit of your article, and I'd prefer it if when your article gets featured, you're happy with it! --UU - natter 16:34, Dec 10
UnSignpost: 11th December[edit source]
In Pure Russian Fashion, The Newspaper That Reads YOU!!
December 11th • Issue 28 • The truth, the whole truth, and nothing
Colin breaks #uncyclopedia
At approximately 7:01 EST, Colin "All your base" Heaney officially fucked everything up yet again. IRC was engaged in what started out as a naturally occurring, all-caps LOL train. However, being the little faggot that he is, Colin decided to join in, effectively making it not funny anymore. This reporter, being an expert witness in cases of dipshittery, quickly came to the conclusion that "Colin makes everything suck." However, Uncyclopedia's resident shitstain did not stop there. He proceeded to incite bizarre and violent urges within members of IRC, causing them to commit unspeakable acts. This reporter, under Colin's influence, killed both of his parents; deadpidgeon and MrN9000 both became homosexuals as a result. Colin himself was then found to have been responsible for every case of unpleasantness throughout history: the Holocaust, 9/11, and abortion. As other users unknowingly joined the channel-turned-warzone, they too fell victim to Colin's faggotry. Users were eventually transforming into furries and fucking each other with "furry Disney dicks" just before this reporter relocated to a safer distance. Needless to say, there is now sufficient evidence that everything stupid and gay and unfunny is, in fact, Colin's fault. Chicks, man. Hot Chicks. Just the words start your heart racing and your mumble mumble. Hot chicks have long failed to receive the ample, under-wire support they deserve here on Uncyc, and if it were not for one, soft-drink based, visionary noob, the femmes fatales of Uncyc would still be a saggy, wrinkly mess. Now all the babes, sexy ladies, foxy chicks, MILFs, and, yes, even magical anime girls, rest in the palm of your hand, throbbing with their new-found intellectual networking - WikiProject Hot Chicks. When asked how the aforementioned n00b came up with such a brilliant idea, he responded: "I don't know what UnSignpost is, my motivation for starting U[N]:WP Hot Chicks was because I thought it was rather humorous, I would like to be adopted, and in Soviet Russia, all your base are belong to YOU !!" (Doctapeppaman was promptly given a stern spanking for such irresponsible use of memes). The project has already succeeded in tagging several sexy talk-pages with the WikiProject Hot Chicks seal, thereby rating them on a random and baseless scale from A- to D-Cup, and the project will most likely be a success, considering the high ratio of users to perverts present on the site. Perhaps, one day, the project will achieve its primary goal - making every article without enough pictures of scantily-clad women into an article about cheesecake. |

Why does Uncyclopedia suck like shit now?[edit source]
I swear this place used to be fun, but nothing here has made me laugh for ages. No one seems to be writing anything funny and people like Modus are spending most of the time making shitty forum jokes than anything really good. It started going downhill when Cajek left. -- 08:59, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- Wow, that's a question and a half. Er, Some stuff still makes me laugh, although not as much as when I first started.. I partly put that down to being here a while and getting jaded, plus to being here a while and running out of things to discover from older times that would make me laugh, so that I'm more reliant on new stuff to make me laugh - and the ratio of good to crap in new stuff has always been high. Also, this strike Mhaille's on, coupled with the absence of plenty of talented, funny folk such as Cajek, Skull, Lj and the like doesn't help. Then there's the fact that many of our best writers are now admins and spend their time banning and the like, leaving them less time to write, and less inclined to when they do have time, seemingly. There are a bunch more reasons as well, but while I don't agree it sucks like shit, I'd say it's true the site is going through a lull right now. Maybe if the cabal gets its act together and sorts out the domain bullshit, a few more decent folks will return, and a snowball effect will start? I dunno, but I still love this place, and hope picks up again soon. I also hope you have a fun and prosperous 2009, DJ. --UU - natter 09:11, Jan 1
- Ok, some things have made me laugh, but most of these are old articles dug up from 07 or 06, pretty much nothing written recently has had that class or funniness of the older articles. -- 10:07, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
- I don't disagree with you. No idea what to do about it though. I just keep plugging away, hoping my inspiration will return and I can write some good shit again. Until then, I'll keep hoping things will pick up. I'm mildly optimistic like that. The place doesn't feel like it did though, that's a fact. --UU - natter 10:25, Jan 1

January 1st, 2009 • Issue 29 • The first newspaper to wish you a Happy Christmas 2009!
The UnSignpost starts 2009 as it ended 2008: Late Several readers were probably available for comment, but we didn't ask them anything and blatantly made one up: "it wouldn't be the UnSignpost if it arrived on time", Orian57 might have said, if we'd asked him. The Patronising New Year EditorialTM From this we can infer that Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption didn't have a clue what he was on about - hope is a ridiculous thing, and should be crushed as soon as possible. However, there is still the possibility, however remote, that something good might happen. Active users might start writing more good articles again. VFH might start to flow like it used to. Old users may return, invigorated, to bestow upon us fresh fruits of their imaginations. New users may arrive to take up the baton, and stride boldly forward, blessing us with a wealth of new articles that inject fresh purpose and impetus to the site. Don't look like that - it might happen. Well, monkeys might also fly out of your butt. Depends if teleportation technology ever becomes viable, widely available, and small enough to secure in such a narrow location. Face it, we haven't a clue what this year holds for us yet, folks, all we can do is try and make it the best we can by writing more articles, and helping new users out, and see where we go from there. This is your UnSignpost, patronising the fuck out of you. Happy New Year! Kevin Rudd says Uncyclopedia is the worst |

- Oh and I was gonna ask -- this isn't whoring incidentally -- but what do you think of this I might even have asked you about this before but I don't think I have. It's just as I read it now I still think it's pretty good, though the review I got a few months ago said otherwise. Basically I just want a quick second opinion. SK Sir Orian57Talk RotM 07:19 9 January 2009

Also, I guess you're spending too much time playing Horde these days to converse with the likes of me. --UU - natter 08:57, Jan 9
- Oh ok, maybe I just never noticed until now and I'm probably the first (if I don't read about me who will?). I just remember that Gerry put in something that I'd written to poke fun at something completely different that Woody wrote, then changed it to just one line, after that I never noticed it changed. Oh well anyway cool. And it's not just horde, it's the rest of Gears2 not to mention Banjo-Kazooie N&B -- and Dead Space is literally the best game I've ever played. Ah well cool. I'm kinda tired. SK Sir Orian57Talk RotM 09:11 9 January 2009
- I'm actually fucking pissed off. I bought myself Mass Effect as a late Christmas present, problem is, I bought it on PlayTrade at Play.com, and I've been sent a turkey. It plays OK for an hour, just long enough for me to really start getting into it, and then it starts telling me the disc is unreadable. Fuck. Bet I don't get a refund from the little bastard either.

Still, I can still play Crackdown and blow the shit out of lots of nasty evildoers, so it's not a complete loss. --UU - natter 09:45, Jan 9
- Also my edit comments are normally for my own benefit, so I can see what I was up to at any point. Hardly anyone reads them, and I keep forgetting that you do, and even take them seriously. Ignore 'em, it'll make life easier. And stop being so paranoid! --UU - natter 09:56, Jan 9
- Oh right. You have a 360 too? I didn't know what Mass Effect was so I assumed it was a PC game. Not have Live no (if you do or ever get it, like sissy said my alias is Orian57)? Oh well I guess the point is: I feel your pain brother, only more so. Oh and that fake link might actually make a really good article. If you have any ideas what may come under a title like that we could collab sometime. SK Sir Orian57Talk RotM 09:59 9 January 2009

- I know. That's why I only use it when I'm gently winding you up. Or I'm in too much of a hurry to type 4 extra characters... Too skint at the moment to get Live Gold membership. I did get a month's free subscription with my repaired console, but I don't have many games to play over it anyway, so I haven't used it yet. If I can be bothered playing Rock Band online, maybe. But I'm not too bothered about playing Halo, Gears etc. online, I'm shite, and am in no hurry to be called a fucking n00b by 12 year olds. Besides, the only Halo I have is the original, which I picked up for a fiver. I prefer stuff like Mass Effect (an RPG with guns), and the Zelda series on my trusty Nintendo. I'm a sad old git like that. --UU - natter 10:16, Jan 9
- Oh well if you're gonna be all poor on me we can't be friends. You should use your free month though then me you, Sissy and Heeren could probably get a game of Horde going, dead fun with loads of people specially if they're your friends. And actually I've never met a twelve year old on Gears before (fingers crossed though) but there was this one guy, must have been at least sixteen, who was almost in tears, over the fact he was getting shot. simultaneously the funniest and most pitiful thing I've experienced in quite some time. Seriously though Dead Space is really worth it, it has a great story and is genuinely scary and has plenty of replay value. Also don't knock nintendo, I've still got a wii and 64 (though I never played zelda for the 64, my parents thought it was too violent or grown up for me. I was 8 for fucks sake! All my other friends knew what a condom was for before I was allowed to watch power rangers, ok this is turning into a bitter rant about a lost childhood) will never forget Mario64 though, awesome stuff. SK Sir Orian57Talk RotM 10:37 9 January 2009
- Let me put this another way: not only am I not bothered about playing Halo or Gears online, I don't own Halo 2 or 3, or have Gears. I didn't get on with Gears at all, don't know why, just didn't find a spark in it for me. Hey ho. I'd like to hook up against some Uncyc types sometime, but it's not gonna be any time soon. My 64 is back out anyway, as I had to play something while the 360 was away. I'm yomping through the original Banjo-Kazooie and Zelda: Majora's mask again. Does you good to revisit the classics. I might dust my old Amiga off one of these days... Not sure about Dead Space - I'm not that moved by scary stuff, it tends to bore me - not my kind of thing again, although I can see why people like it. --UU - natter 10:45, Jan 9
- Oh I see, well that's fair enough, I own all three halos and they don't move me very much (3rd one is a vast improvement though and I'm sure I'll be able to get into it). Old classics are great, I downloaded the original banjo over live (so I could get the stop and swop bonuses in N&B) managed to complete it insanely fast (it took me months to do it ten years ago) but brought back alot of good memories. As for horror/scary stuff I'm well into that (I think I mentioned before that's what I'd like to write for a living) and shooters of any sort. Resident Evil Four you must have played that, it was released for everything! I bought it twice; once for the GC and then again for the Wii. Anyways Like you said it'd be great to get together over Live we just need a common game now. Not sure what sissy and Heeren have. So wow this has been a very long conversation. pretty awsome though. Might actually write something for here now, I feel kinda motivated. it's a nice feeling.

It plays OK for an hour, just long enough for me to really start getting into it, and then it starts telling me the disc is unreadable. Fuck. Bet I don't get a refund from the little bastard either. But that's not what bothers me, I just wanna play the goddamn game! Argh! --UU - natter 09:15, Jan 9
- Oh ok, maybe I just never noticed until now and I'm probably the first (if I don't read about me who will?). I just remember that Gerry put in something that I'd written to poke fun at something completely different that Woody wrote, then changed it to just one line, after that I never noticed it changed. Oh well anyway cool. And it's not just horde, it's the rest of Gears2 not to mention Banjo-Kazooie N&B -- and Dead Space is literally the best game I've ever played. Ah well cool. I'm kinda tired. SK Sir Orian57Talk RotM 09:11 9 January 2009

Uncyclopedians on Xbox Live
Recently, The following is an actual transcript between me (under the alias "Pope Gustav") and Orian57 (under the alias "Orian57") on Xbox Live.
This is stunning evidence that Orian57, along with others, is leaving the site for the glamorous life of Xbox Live. When confronted with this transcript and these accusations, Orian replied that "I was just on Uncyclopedia today. I was just bored and wanted something else to do." Oddly enough, all of the other Uncyclopedians that have Xbox Live accounts that I spoke to also claimed to have "lives" outside of Uncyclopedia, lives that mainly consist of playing Halo 3. Article gets +21 votes on VFH
Only a few days after going back to featuring "Today's Featured Article" for only one day, instead of the previous two, the article, The defense rests, your honor received 21 "for" votes and no "against" after a mere 3 days on VFH. The article, nominated on VFH by SysRq, and written by noted admin Modusoperandi, is the first article surpass +20 votes in a long while on VFH. Upon hearing of his accomplishment, Modus is heard to have said, "I'd like to thank all of the little people that I crushed to get where I am," and, "Can I wear my Kernel Popcorn costume?" SysRq, the article nominator is quoted as saying, "I was the one who nommed that article; I deserve some recognition." For those of you are new around here, VFH is the process by which uncyclopedia nominates articles for "Today's Featured Article", the article in the top left corner on the mainpage. All users of uncyclopedia, including anonymous ip users are encouraged to vote on VFH and nominate articles on VFH. VFH can be found here, but typing in VFH in the search box, by clicking the "Votes for Highlight" link under the community links on the right (it's second from the bottom between "Pee Review" and "Votes for Pictures"), and Uncyclopedia:VFH, in addition to several other redirects. Many users have expressed approval of this accomplishment, as the more votes an article gets, the better an article is. Therefore, by voting on an article, one injects more quality into an article, in the same way that manufacturers "inspect" quality back into a finished part. Additionally, the admins will not longer be forced to torture various cute animals to inspire users to vote in VFH: provided VFH doesn't stall out again. |

Hey UnderPants man![edit source]
Why do we Britishers still say "underpants" when we wear them under our trousers? ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 15:34 12 January 2009
- Probably due to an obsolete word stem - ie the word comes from "under pantaloons". A more interesting question might be "why did 'pants' as an abbreviation of 'pantaloons' catch on in American but not here in the first place?" Also, I thought it had been at least a week since you had a change of sig. --UU - natter 15:44, Jan 12
- Well I've gotta keep up with the fashion! Less is more nowadays you know? Not really I dunno I'm just making this up. Also can I ask a slightly bizarre question? Do you know/remember what a charizard is? Also also also did you read that Big brother related article? ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 16:34 12 January 2009
- A Chraizard? I believe that to be a type of Pokémon. Beyond that, I can't help you. As to any BB articles, if you refer to the TV show, I avoid anything to do with that on principle, even Uncyc articles - no point encouraging the buggers further, is there? --UU - natter 16:37, Jan 12
- Ah that's good, you know enough. That question I just thought I'd ask cos I wrote something that kind of involves Charizard a little bit. Just wondered if anyone else remembers him. Also I sort of see what you mean but that's like cutting off your nose to spite your face is it not? (I mean Dead Set was awesome! Although you don't like horror and keep forgetting that. You should like horror, it's fun. why am I saying all this in brackets? oh well.) For what it's worth satire is rarely on the side of what it's satirising. Oh well I'm working on something new now which is nothing like Why?:Am I a Power Ranger?, in the same sense that it is. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 16:47 12 January 2009
- I'll take a squint later, now it's time for me to do the mad dash home! (Oh, and you should like boobies, they're fun.) --UU - natter 17:20, Jan 12
- What the hell U.U.!? First you call me H which -- contrary to social stereotypes -- I do not appreciate, and then you start berating me about my sexuality. Just because, because well -- why? *cries* ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 17:24 12 January 2009
- Ahem, typo. I must have been in a rush or something. Plus, you say I should like horror, I say you should like boobies. Fair trade? --UU - natter 18:25, Jan 12
- Yes but horror is something you'd like if you gave it a chance. I looked directly at girl boob today and felt nothing. It was pierced as well and I don't even know if that's meant to be kinky or not. Also hello MrN! I think I might come visit you soon. In the night. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 21:25 12 January 2009
- I wondered how long it would take MrN to pop by. Nice to see you, even in passing, old chap. Now, young Orian: I have given horror a try. I'm old enough to have tried quite a few things in my time. And guess what? I don't like it. Many of my friends don't understand it either, but it's just the way I am. Same as you and boobies, which is why I chose that particular example. Horror leaves me cold, my friend, but that's just part of life's rich tapestry. I've never understood the appeal of scaring the living fuck out of yourself, I guess. --UU - natter 21:33, Jan 12

Thanks for the welcoming message =) Just wanted to ask though. I've noticed in the DYK suggestion section a DYK that is, it seems, directed at me since it says something like how someone loves me (Kit paddle) so much.. and then that im gay. Even though i laughed at the discovery of that submission I find myself wondering if a friend to mine wrote that or someone just really dislikes me =P (already... me who just started out here at uncyclopedia.. ) Is there a way to find out who submitted that suggestion ?
Thanks =) --Kit paddle 17:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
- You're welcome for the welcome ;-) As to the DYK matter, there's a template called {{username}}, it puts the username of whoever views it into whatever page they're viewing, while they view it. So I'd see that entry as everyone loves Under user so much. (It's a bit of a giveaway for me, because everyone calls me UU, or Under User...) Anyway, to show you what I mean, here's that template in action: <insert name here>. Try logging out then viewing this page and see the difference. Then go and abuse the life out of that template, everyone else does! --UU - natter 18:53, Jan 13

Request for your opinion on revisions to the Ussher article[edit source]
I got a second review on Ussher, and I got a fairly good score on it. However, I don't the reviewer had a sense of humor that aligns with the article. He said, "I think its at its max potential," and I would tend to agree with him.
The update mainly consists of more material in the evolution section and a change of pics. The images are the only thing that I think might need changed. Finally, do you think its good enough for VFH? For reference, your review is here --Mnbvcxz 06:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

First article *TADAA*[edit source]
So here goes nothing! I just added my first article. Had nothing to do today so i stayed at home thinking of what stupid lies i could write about so i went for an article about the game "Fruit Sallad". Plz check it out and gimme some feedback. Maybe a few grammatical mishaps or things like that but all in all im quite proud =P I still have the construction template on since im not entirely sure im done. Maybe a few things id like to add, and of course the changes ill probably have to do after i hear your comments =) Cheers!--kit 17:05, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- OK, a very quick check over reveals nothing that I think would get it quickly deleted, so I'd say you can take the construction tag off. What you have there is a start, now you need to spend a little more time on it. When you want some more in-depth feedback, pop over and ask for a Pee Review - but be patient, they can take a couple of weeks to get actioned. It's worth remembering that if an admin in a bad mood does delete your article, you can ask any admin to restore a copy to your userspace, so you can carry on working on it - not that I think it will be deleted, it's just good to know, I think! Glad to see you're making an effort to go about things the right way around here, if you have any other questions, let me know. --UU - natter 09:04, Jan 15
Deletion[edit source]
Hey I am really new here (about 4 or 5 days old) and I think I have caught on to many of the things here. I am running into a problem though. I have a list of ugly articles which I am trying to go through and clean up. Some are just god aweful though and I thought it would be better to just delete them. When I go to VFD though there is no place to "nominate" an article like there is for VFH, so I checked around and I didn't find out how but found out your a big part of the VFD system, so I just wanted to know how exactly I nominate an article for deletion. Btw I am sorry to hear about your brother, similar thing with my sister for a few years now so I kinda know how it is. Anyways, ya no rush just wanted to know. :) Thanks! --Tagstit 05:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Tagstit, no problem - here goes:
- 1. On the VFD page, click the edit button beside "Pages For Deletion" near the top - this opens up most of the page for editing
- 2. At the top, you'll see a template that's been commented out - it'll look a lot like this:
==[[]]== {|{{purtytable}} ||'''Keep'''|| |- ||'''Delete'''|| |- ||'''Comments'''|| |}
- 3. Copy that table and nothing else. About 3 or 4 lines below is a line containing a --> insert the table in a new line after this.
- 4. Put the offending article's title between the square brackets

==[[Crappy Article]]== {|{{purtytable}} ||'''Keep'''|| |- ||'''Delete'''|| *'''Delete'''. Ugly, unfunny, no hope for improvement, it would be better for humanity if this were deleted. --~~~~ |- ||'''Comments'''|| |}

Any feedback on the Unsignpost thingy? ~ 12:00, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, much obliged - many thanks. I'll shovel some final content in and turn it over to the paperbot this afternoon. --UU - natter 12:01, Jan 15
- I was thinking "You have some nerve to put your trash on the main article" And then I thought, "I am the cabal, I can do whatever the hell I please", and then I remembered that there is no cabal and got into a cosmic paradox and vanished in a puff of vaguely stinking smoke. ~ 12:17, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Hey![edit source]
Did you read my story about shoe shopping? I didn't write that for nothing you know. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 13:29 15 January 2009
- Sorry dude, I've been colossally busy, and thought I'd replied to everything, but I had fully intended to respond to that mini epic of neurosis, so obviously my senility is just advancing more rapidly than previously suspected! If all that is on the nail, then you might just give an ex-girlfriend of mine a run for her money in the insecurity stakes, and I don't say that lightly. And it made me chuckle, no mean task yesterday, so thanks! --UU - natter 13:36, Jan 15
- I'm not insecure, am I? Anyway I know you're just saying that, because you don't want to hurt my feelings -- if it was that good you wouldn't have forgotten to reply! -- But I appreciate it. Also glad to have been of service. And it wasn't exaggerated even slightly, I was prepared to walk out of a shop wearing odd shoes. And I'd have worn them till I needed new ones. just so I wasn't putting anyone out. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 13:45 15 January 2009
- I haven't offended you have I? ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 13:54 15 January 2009
- /me facepalms. No, I fully intended to respond - I even started a response mentioning that girlfriend in some detail, then realised that was more information than I wanted to put on the internets, so I closed the window, planning to come back, then promptly didn't. And if you ever offend me, you'll know. I'm not backward about going to a userpage and saying "what the fuck did you mean by that?" If I don't do that, you haven't offended me, so keep going! Also, I'm Northern - very hard to offend. Finally, I'd love to see a new Orian article, and Uncyclopedia seems to lack a page on Neurotic - surely you can do something about that? ;-) --UU - natter 14:04, Jan 15
- Yeah I know, it was all part of a joke. Also I shall look into it. Reckon I could probably do that quite easily, actually. So... Am I as cute as this ex? ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 14:28 15 January 2009
- I am so not going there... --UU - natter 14:50, Jan 15
- So what you think I'm ugly? Is that it? ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 15:23 15 January 2009
- La la la not listening la la la... --UU - natter 15:25, Jan 15
- /Cries to friend He won't even talk to me anymore! He basically said I was a stuffed chimp with a monobrow then when I asked him why he wouldn't talk to me -- I mean how childish is that? And I didn't even do anything! /threatens to do something stupid. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 15:30 15 January 2009
- That's stunningly accurate. When did you meet her? --UU - natter 15:43, Jan 15
- Oh god no, that's not what I meant -- I wasn't talking about her I just presumed that's what you thought about me! Oh god now she'll be thinking I'm a bastard -- why are you doing this to me? ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 16:03 15 January 2009

UnSignpost 15th January[edit source]
The Newspaper With No Ambitions, Goals, Hopes or Dreams!
January 15, 2009 • Issue 31 • Making the New York Times look like Mad Magazine (or is that the other way round?)
From The Desk of the Cabal: Incest and sex change are now bannable offenses Following the sex change operations of citizen (now citizeness) Yettie, and several suspicious sexual activities in the Uncyclopedia compound, the Cabal hereby decrees the following:
Thank you citizens, this message was not delivered by the Cabal which does not exist. Behave nice, vote on VFH and obey the Cabal. The Cabal is your friend. Or it would be. If it existed. Pee Revuu? UU himself dismissed such fears, pointing out that he's got nothing better to do with his time than arbitrarily judge the quality of other people's opinions anyway, and adding "I'm relieved to be taking up this position as it will drastically reduce the number of reviews I'm expected to do. Also, I'm thinking of introducing a policy of stripping Orian57, and only him, of his RotM award, his rank, his mittens and his right to drink hot chocolate ever again unless he does a bloody review some time soon". However, some users are still not convinced this is a good idea, or even possible. One, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, "I seriously doubt that UU can do Boomer's job and his own at the same time. I mean, how can he be accused of being a lazy arse if he has almost twice as many good pee reviews as anyone else and does 75% of the pee review maintenance tasks? This ruins the running pee review committee in-joke about Captain Catheter not doing anything. There is no way this can work." |

Hey[edit source]
Not entirely sure what was borderline with my review. It had already been reviewed once and fixed up, and there wasn't that much left to say what to fix up. The article is currently on VFH. --Docile hippopotamus 00:15, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Templates[edit source]
Hey UU, sorry I keep bugging you but I really like that template you have everytime it says you review, with the tea and all. I wanted to know if you could possibly teach me how to make my own or tell me where I can go to learn how to make one with a different picture and different words and all. If you think it is stealing your idea then I understand completely! Thanks for your time bud! --Tagstit 04:15, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- No problem at all. The thing about making templates is simple: find one you like, steal the code, then tweak it until you like what you've got, and call it your own. My first few templates I stole shamelessly from other people. So take a look at User:Under user/book review, edit the page and steal the code. Create a page in your own userspace called whatever you like, and paste the code in. Then play around with picture, colours and words until it suits you. This is a really handy page full of colours and names so you can find ones you like. Most of my templates are simple, just variations of picture, colours and width/height. For some more interesting ones, look in YesTimeToEdit or Cajek's userspaces, by using the extraordinarily handy Special:Prefixindex page (pop their username in the first box, select "user" from the drop-down list, snoop around!)
- The only general rule with templates is ones that are for your own use stay in your userspace, while ones you think may be more widely used go in the Template namespace. Play around and have fun! --UU - natter 11:21, Jan 17
- Hey thank you so much! Sorry for the delayed response, I have been working and playing with it for a while. I think I have come up with a decent one here, the only problem I have is that there is a white line I can't get rid of between the picture and the text. Any suggestions? You have been really helpful and I appreciate it alot. --Tagstit 20:19, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

- Woo, deja vu. Mate, I do respond to posts eventually, but on my wife's birthday weekend that can take a little longer, y'know! Anyway, it's a tough call to make on reviews like that, particularly on articles that don't need too much doing - but nonetheless, there wasn't that much help or feedback in the review - two or three lines of help or suggestions. I appreciate you felt it was pretty much done, but the point of the list is to keep an eye on how helpful reviews are, and by the standards of "in depth", that wasn't there. However, you are a good, helpful reviewer, the list doesn't mean that much beyond keeping track of people to have a word if they're not that helpful, and if it's any consolation, you see I'm one review down on the list? That was longer than the review you just gave - Cajek being harsh but fair, I think! So yeah, don't take it personally, OK? --UU - natter 20:47, Jan 18
- yeah no problem. --Docile hippopotamus 00:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm just stirring the shit and all that but didn't he say that there was no bad review and that you're just marked down because you're all humble and that? Also BOO!
- For when you have kids, don't know what my excuse is I'm just weird. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 21:02 18 January 2009
- He said something like that, but I do remember the review in question, and it was borderline... Also, what's this "when" business? Everyone assumes that married = kids. We'll see... --UU - natter 09:09, Jan 19
- You're married? So? I just thought that's what straight people did, blundered around, falling inside eachother and creating "the wonder of new life"... All I meant is they're a good accesory to have so you won't feel guilty when you watch Lazytown. Which is acually an awsome show. No, really. ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 10:59 19 January 2009

- I think it's important to acknowledge people who make a good start, and you look to be taking things the right way so far, so I'm only too happy to nom you Kit, keep going, and I'm sure there are other awards you can aim for! --UU - natter 09:11, Jan 19
