Have a look at the picture man should be pretty obvious who OG Percival is but he's called OG Percival in this article rather then his real name because it's an old joke about him growing up in an upper-middle class environment and then rapping, claiming to be from a brooklyn ghetto. --– Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Greenthumb (talk • contribs)

Well not more, but you know. Thanks none the less. And you were so wrong about TMS. It's got 14 fors and no againsts. Orian57 Talk 18:32 15 August 2009
- Fifteen. Orian57 Talk 18:34 15 August 2009
- I saw an against... Pup t 00:09, 16/08/2009
- But then it went away, so it doesn't count. Also it got a 16th vote and was then featured. I love proving people wrong. Orian57 Talk 00:16 16 August 2009
- Oh, it's good to see that you enjoy proving people wrong. But I think that the person who cast that changing vote might be a little upset to know that you feel that their opinion didn't count.
- And given the page I'm on. "Do you know what there doing? Their looking for they're clothes over their. Their never going to find it they're. Wear do you think that their going to find something to we're. Where going to the clothes shop their." Pup t 00:33, 16/08/2009

I mean I hope you are, I didn't nom it cos I liked it. ;) Also no rush on the opinion front, I've already decided I need to re-write Stereotype Because it's a big giant shit heap of truth. So you're opinion on that would be good. Not to mention the other two aren't working out very well in my head. Orian57 Talk 19:01 16 August 2009

I came out of the weekend with only one clear conclusion. "Public Enemies"? Don't Just don't. Wasted 140 minutes of my life. ~ 08:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Really? I kinda liked it, in a "too much style, not enough substance, no really well defined characters, but still has a really good shootout in the woods" kinda way. --UU - natter 08:46, Aug 17
- Oh, the styling and the shooting was very good. But the story? Where is the story? ~ 09:39, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oh I agree with you there - that's the "not enough substance" bit. It was like a very frothy cream bun - light, and kind of enjoyable, but nowhere near enough to keep you satisfied for any length of time. --UU - natter 09:43, Aug 17
Or opinions? Although I can understand if you can't keep up with what I want opinions on. You're getting old after all and pregnancy can really run you through, from what I hear. Orian57 Talk 09:03 17 August 2009
- I has work. I have just been in a meeting for a while. I'm also trying to sell my house, and have to leave work early today, so have to cram my work into a shorter time. Looks like I'm skipping lunch again. Plus there's loads of pees left to check, etc etc... I promised I'd have a look, and I will. When I can. I look forward to when you have a job, and you start, slowly, to understand... --UU - natter 09:36, Aug 17
- Oh geeze, that sounds horribly stressful. No rush then. I'll probably have changed my mind by next week anyway. Orian57 Talk 09:49 17 August 2009
- Yeah - they say two of the most stressful things you can do are to have a child and to move house. So let's do 'em at the same time! Yay! Also, I looked at your stereotyping thing, and spotted your problem straight away: you don't have enough content. My suggestion, therefore, is to add more content. Am I good to you or what? --UU - natter 12:27, Aug 17

Hey, UU! How is pregnancy treating Mrs. User? In a related note, do you enjoy Heartburn? Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 14:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Afternoon Woody. Mrs UU is doing OK, but running out of clothes that fit her. In a related note, if I see Mnbvcxz on this page, I may kill him to be on the safe side. Also, heartburn? Er, I don't normally get it because I eat my food sensibly instead of wolfing it down. Does that help? --UU - natter 14:35, Aug 17
- The boredom? Only if I can get you to keep talking.
- Well, how many months is she? I would think that the cloths stop fitting fairly early on, what with the swelling. And the bloating. Oh, and the massive, massive weight gain. On a related note, a cheer for being men! Hip Hip! And if that preggo man does come-a-knocking, I think a swift kick in the groin might do the trick. Murder is only a second option, we must adhere to this rule. Also, I don't get heartburn myself, but I can promise you there is nothing sensible about how I eat food. (whatever I mean by that, even I don't know.) Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 14:54, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- How many months? C'mon, you're the one who raised the cheer for being men. About three-ish, probably? And when you become an admin, they change the rulebook. They lock you in the back of the Mordillomobile, blindfold you, and take you on a secret journey to the non-existent cabal headquarters, where they burn the new rules into your brain. Then they pay for your taxi home. Because of that, you're right, murder is not an option - it's called "permanent removal". --UU - natter 15:04, Aug 17
- Ah yes. I had forgotten about the permanent removal strategy....or had I? I've got what's left of my good eye on you, UU. Best to look out. Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 15:23, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

But I've just got that amazing go-gettum attitude that you admins want from us apparently, so I'm putting it together. Could I perhaps get a quote from you on the obvious drop in quality that is sure to follow in my footsteps? Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 15:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Good to see we're keeping the time-honoured Signpost tradition of the revolving door to the editor's office alive and well. Although now Woody's in there, that should probably be a "revolting" door. Oh yeah - I went there.

HEY! Blame Led. It was his fault.[edit source]
Did I screw up? Sure, but only AFTER trying to fix Led's mistakes. So, by banning me, you are telling me that fixing mistakes, and site maintenance is a bad thing (also, probably spelling in that sentence.). I, personally, expected more from you, Mr. Greater-Than-Thou admin. Plus blaming Led for everything is totally in now. Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 15:31, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- No, I'm blaming you for edit conflicting me when I was going to fix it properly first time through. Also, I'm not greater-than-thou in the wide sense of everybody, I'm just greater-than-thou in the specific sense of you, The Woodburninator. And as such, I rarely give you what you expect. --UU - natter 15:36, Aug 18
- Good ole' edit conflicting with a side of failure. Perhaps it is I who is keeping you on edge by always doing the unexpected....namely, failure. You would think that one day I might actually figure all of this coding stuff out, but nae. Always with the failure. Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 15:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Old School Featured Article of the Week
The Little boy who lives down the street is a child who lives down the street that no other children have ever seen. (And no-one knows his name either...) This is because the child has died, in several fashions, over and over again, the subject of which is constantly being brought up by your Mother and/or Grandmother when they’re explaining why you cannot do something that you really want to do.

User:POTR/Postmodern
Hey, Dude! Thanks for taking the time to carefully explain what needs to be done. I'll surely make all the changes you suggested. How can I go wrong? After it's updated I ask your opinion again. A lot of the humor was insider band-fan humor who have read the book, "Like, Misunderstood" on amazon.com. I was the singer who got drafted, and I became a fugitive in India for 12 years (that's the bridge, cause I was so sick of the (amazing) true story after a book and a script). The band didn't fail in music... we got simply FUCKED UP by Karma. Lucky we could record first, otherwise who would ever believe. Thanks again.--Funnybony 20:52, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
- UN:VAIN? Pup t 20:59, 23/08/2009
- UN:VAIN. Orian57 Talk 21:47 23 August 2009
- I dunno folks, they're notable enough to have their own Wikipedia page for starters, and I'm pretty sure I remember John Peel going on about them. And the page doesn't exactly read like vanity - we'll see how it pans out. --UU - natter 08:19, Aug 24
- WHATEVER! It's just the bit at the top sounded like vanity. For what it's worth your last bit sounded like vanity. In fact this whole page looks like a series of vanity from vain people looking for your vain attention! Orian57 Talk 08:46 24 August 2009
- Agreed, although not a vehement agree. It might fit within the rules of vanity, but it is an article about self, for the aggrandisement of self, with the humour coming in well down the track. I'm not going to harp on about it - you're admin, you choose - but the idea of being able to write an article on my band, as long as I first write a wikipedia article on it, and tell you and a few other admins about it, and make sure that I spam a whole bundle of sites with it, just seems to be a teeny bit outside of the spirit. Pup t 10:09, 24/08/2009
- Spam a whole bundle of sites? Man, they must have been working hard to backdate all those entries and the like - have a Google, this is a band form the Sixties... They're notable enough. I personally am more inclined to doubt that Funnybony was a member of the band, although given that at least one member seems to be active on WP, I guess anything's possible. If it's about a notable group, and it's not obvious self-aggrandisement, I think we let it stay - we'll see what happens after he takes the advice of the review. --UU - natter 10:30, Aug 24
- Couldn't be buggered googling, and as I said I'm not going to harp on about it. As long as it ends up going through the funny test, then all is good. I guess my main thing is as long as we don't encourage vanity as a side effect, couldn't give a damn. As to Funnybony being in the band... given a few other things he's said, and the way he writes, either he's a compulsive liar, or he's had a really interesting life - jury's still out on that one. (No offence meant, Funnybony. I used to work in banking, I trust nobody!) Pup t 11:29, 24/08/2009
---As to cynical bank employees, I'll mention that I have not set foot in a bank in over 20 years. You know why? - Because I'm too rich and famous in Bangkok, and the President of the Biggest bank in Thailand is my business partner, plus with 30+ employees I have free time to write useless bull shit on this stupid site populated by small time bank employees, who, because of being small-time nobodies, cynically think the same of everyone else, and doubt exceptional people. Tut tut!--Funnybony 14:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- You don't exactly do yourself any favours with comments like that - we have fairly decent reason for doubting - it's easy to claim you are someone on the interwebs, harder to prove it. I myself am the lead guitarist from the Tygers of Pan Tang - go prove me wrong. And we get a lot of idiots on this site writing rubbish about themselves and their poxy band that hasn't even played the local pub yet - "Platinum Awesome Metal Gods are Toby and Mike who are 15 and from London and they will have teh biggest selling album in teh world next year and get loads and loads of groupies and secks" - that kind of thing. You see so many pages like that, you start getting suspicious, you dig? --UU - natter 15:23, Aug 25
---Hey, Dude, cool band name! - I have NO reason to doubt you at all. Do you have a MySpace Band page where I can hear you play? Wow!!! Lead guitar! My old friend Jeff Beck just got inducted into the Hall of Fame (for the 2nd time) this year. If you read books on Jeff's life you will surely find mention of Rick Brown (me) because we shared a flat and partied a lot in 1967.
Listen, there is counterfeit money out there, but that doesn't make me suspicious of all money. People are innocent until proved guilty. The reason you have bull-shit bands spamming you is because, unlike Wikipedia, you don't require 3rd party published quotes to verify with references. But I have given some real verifiable quotes in the article (just in case).
Writing these 20 articles I hoped I was helping Uncyclopedia. I don't like being viewed as a cheat or impostor. As you told that jerk, you heard it from John Peel himself (who was my dear friend and even roommate at one point). I'm not making a personal page here and I hope nobody does so. I'm just getting shit for helping Uncyclopedia.
And as to the reality of me, you can read the 566 page novel on amazon.com, or wait a couple years for the movie. Remember when we tease the Chinaman, unknown to us he might have a black belt in Gung Fu. You guys get bull-shit on your site, but don't blame me. Visit my user page and see how many articles I've written for FREE. Lighten up. You guys aren't Wikipedia. You're a "joke", remember?--Funnybony 16:11, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

There is an Unscript about working in a bank in amongst all my articles which is a work in progress (Good enough to publish, but waiting for another inspirational flash to really spruce it up.)

--->The_Misunderstood
Hi guys, here's an edited version after reading the Pee review. BTW: Wikipedia based it's original Music Section on the Book, "All Music Guide" and as The Misunderstood have a chapter, so Wikipedia had The Misunderstood page before I ever even heard of Wikipedia. They made the page. As for me, I was the very disappointed singer of the band because we didn't fail musically, we were screwed by the Vietnam War Draft. As to me, you can get the verifiable facts on Wikipedia if you look up "Richard Shaw Brown". I don't really appeal to envious cynics. But I really don't need more vanity. I have earned my dues. And I've written about 15 articles on Uncyclopedia besides about my old band. So listen to John Peel and DIG the Misunderstood. Thanks guys.--Funnybony 13:24, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- Watch your formatting there. New subheaders go under all of the last bit of conversation. Also sorry for the, er, misunderstanding. Orian57 Talk 13:38 25 August 2009
- Does that mean I have to apologise too? To be honest funnybony, I hate banks much more than you ever could - I'm not a fan of the American military, for example, but you have a much more personal reason to hate them. But think of it as a form of flattery - I'm trying to protect the reputation of the real you from being tarnished by some delusional fan-boy - it wouldn't be the first time. So I have difficulty apologizing for doing what I could to protect your reputation, but I am sorry if you took offence at what I said when trying to do that. Pup t 20:01, 25/08/2009
- As an afterthought, are you writing your autobiography? Pup t 20:01, 25/08/2009
No worries, Mate! I've been writing articles for Uncyclopedia for 2 years, over 20 good articles, and only one is about my old group. But it seems all I ever get is shit as a reward. I had a book published in 1995, "Ancient Astrological Gemstones & Talismans" that received the PMA's "1996 Benjamin Franklin Award", but on Uncyclopedia I'm a moron, because I can't figure out if you guys are HTBFANJS or HTBSANJF. But, then again, a critics job is to be a critic. I have been keeping my cool, but the stuff you wrote was so far OFF the mark, as to be absurd.
Two books have been published about my band and the period from 1966-1979 during which I was a hunted fugitive for refusing to collect Dead Dick's in Vietnam. If they would have called a democratic vote in Nam, Uncle Ho would have won by a land-slide. End of story. So what was that goddamn war all about? Any way, we were an exceptional band and that makes it even worse. Check our classics on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/themisunderstood1966
The 1988 on the Misunderstood book is out of print, but the new book, based on the script, was published in the USA in 2007. It's called, "Like, Misunderstood" - available on amazon.com - OR, if you give me an email address, I can send you the identical eBook version as a 3MB pdf, for free. My pleasure. It's a hell of a ride.
The new book started as a script, but at 560 pages had to be converted into a novel. That has been reduced to a 110 page script which is complete and being edited in USA right now. There are a few "cats" interested in the motion picture, both in USA and in Thailand, and distribution is the key. But it's an amazing story. here's what Bruce Duff wrote, “The saga of the Misunderstood is one of the most unbelievable, heartbreaking, and unlikely stories in the entire history of rock.” ~ Creem Magazine, September 2004.
In any case the band was so bloody good and we came so far, all the way to London (from USA), and had serious major record deal, that my getting drafted was such a heart breaker, it's hard to even describe. But my 12 years on the run left me little time to feel sorry for myself. Now all the critics are raving about our 1966 records, and even last April, Mojo Magazine listed us for "M" in it's A-Z Top Bands list. Record Collector's book, "100 Greatest Psychedelic Records" lists The Misunderstood at #6, ahead of Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and most of the others. THAT IS HEAVY! So there is some satisfaction in all the honors coming our way these last 20 years, but nothing on Earth could ever make up for the loss of that band.
So I decided to make a joke about it, rather than be a bummer, and wrote The Misunderstood page here. Now I got good advice from UU so I have edited the lists and made the story more to real. I would appreciate any of you gods taking a look at the new version, and give me further guidance. And no need to apologize. I lost MY cool, and THAT is uncool. Thanks in advance--Funnybony 20:51, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
I've had a quick read through and it's looking much tighter. I'd be tempted to drop out some of the accolades, because that doesn't really add the funny. I'd also try and keep in mind that satire is, predominantly, parody for the purpose of instigating change - you have a unique view and as a result a unique opp--Funnybony 15:11, 26 August 2009 (UTC)ortunity to point out the stupidity in the Western worlds constant march to war, as long as it can be done in a humorous vein. Dead Dick is on it's way to doing that well, and the break up of Misunderstood for some fairly significant reasons could be used the same way. (And the poetic side of me is loving the irony of your band name and subsequent career.) Pup t 21:19, 25/08/2009
Thanks for the good advice. I have a good sense of humor, but not much experience as a satire writer, so it can only get better. I've been adopted my MrN so you know I have a good guide. Hey, bro! I already sent you the pdf novel. I hope you enjoy the wild ride, it just gets worse and worse (or better and better). Amazing to live through, actually.--Funnybony 00:08, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Mad props! I'm reading and re-reading your article. That usually means that I'm cooking something in my subconcious, so hopefully I'll have a bit more detailed feedback to be able to throw your way. Haven't had a chance to check out the pdf yet though. Pup t 00:52, 26/08/2009
Great! Now that you know the tragedy of the Misunderstood because of the Vietnam War (never mind that 2 million people were blown away too) so you're welcome and encouraged to go to town and edit as you like. I'm not attached to the way it reads as long as I know its getting better, and more absurd, because a bummer CAN be funny, otherwise, its a bummer, right?. So I'm really happy that you're getting into it. Because the ultimate theme is anti-war. Same with Dead Dick and My Lie and William Westmoreland. I never did anything great in life without partners. Everything I've even done was with help of others. Opps! I better "log in" to sign this, otherwise it'll look like this: 125.24.106.83 14:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC). The best way to make a bummer funny, is to call it a "bummer!"--Funnybony 15:11, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Here's an example of making a bummer funny. This is for all those poor suckers who got drafted in the name of freedom, just to satisfy the anti-teen bloodlust of SOB William Westmoreland, and who didn't have the guts to Just Say "Not". Not only NO, but HELL NO was my stance. After all, the Vietnamese were not attacking America or trying to make others into "Vietnamese" - they just wanted their bloody country back from cock-sucking France!!! - The VNamese were NOT "trying to rape my mother" or take over the USA. If someone attacks the USA then I'll come home even now, at age 62, just to help mothafuckin' Jack Bauer and Pee Wee Herman fight them off.--Funnybony 15:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

- You've shown up a few times on Youtube from Thai TV. Not that I'm stalking or anything, but I have to say that I love the way that you've decorated your front bathroom. One thing I just wanted to respond to was Now that you know the tragedy of the Misunderstood because of the Vietnam War... I'm well and truly Gen X, and a lot of the people reading this site are Gen Y. My generation tried to ignore everything the Baby Boomers did because... well, because it was the Baby Boomers that did them, and Gen Y try to ignore everything that anyone does that's not themself... or Paris Hilton for some strange reason. You tell most of these readers of the atrocities of war, and they'll say "Yeah, so what" unless they can put a face to them. This is not an atrocity, but it is a face to a tragedy, and hopefully a door into further understanding of the times. Whatever can potentially stop another Vietnam - or Iraq or Afghanistan war - no matter how purile, is worth persuing. Pup t 22:03, 26/08/2009
- The Baby Boomers brought you the WWW, personal computer, Apple computer, wireless phones that are mini computers, fabulous Sat TVs, Star Wars, Godfather, man, the list goes on longer than the great wall of China - achievements of baby boomers, such as Muhammad Ali, U2, and Steve Jobs/Bill Gates. As well as GREAT MUSIC, impossible to reproduce, not to mention who stood up against a wrong war and government corruption. Open-heart surgery, as well as numerous genius medical advancements, space technology, unmanned drone warfare, and NOT the atomic bomb. The babyboomers are the best at everything, and went through the worst. If the Reds order me to war, or the USA orders me to war, what's the fucking difference? Don't tell me about FREEDOM? If I had freedom then I say, Piss-off with your idiotic Dead Dick game. I had no goddamn freedom other than go to hell against a non-aggressor country OR become a fugitive, for god only knows how long it would have been before I'd be free again. Always afraid of getting caught. All the music that came after Baby Boomers was never as good, and is all copies of BB music. The BB invented Wikipedia and Google, and all computer and photoshop technology...try to be as good as the BB, you'll never be better!--Funnybony 01:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Gen X brought you.... ummm... Adam and the Ants? Sex and the City? ... I see your point and I concede! Pup t 03:36, 27/08/2009
/me looks at the above. Hang on, isn't this my talk page? Instead of catching up on this, can I have the tl;dr version please?
Just one thing though: if you're gonna say there's been no great music since the Baby Boomers, then I congratulate you on the most complete tunnel vision I've ever seen. Every generation has produced some worthwhile music, and every generation produced some duds. It's just that with saturation marketing and risk aversion these days, the duds are always in your face while anything actually innovative or worthwhile is a lot harder to find. And the Boomers copied their music from ideas that came before them - all music carries elements of what's gone before. Doesn't make it worthless. --UU - natter 11:28, Aug 27
- What about the WWII generation? Man, talk about guts! Remember, if you're FREE to read this then you can thank a WWII vet; if you are ABLE to read this then you can thank a teacher; if you're ALIVE to read this then you can thank Jack Bauer.--Funnybony 12:12, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

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

Biopic of the Week
The man from straight out of Kiel, Germany, NaturalBornKieler has been a tremendous addition to Uncyclopedia since joining in June, 2007. While he has had no issues splitting his time between both Uncyclopedia, and the German Uncyclopedia, he has, for some reason, written 10 more features, and some 100 more articles for the German Uncyclopedia than for our beautiful English side. Still, it seems he has found his calling now, working in the big bureaucracy of the Foreign Office. NBK was unable to be reached for comment, as he was unable to get the proper approval from his superiors to be interviewed by a newspaper. Ahhhh. Bureaucracy at work.

Old School Featured Article of the Week
The War of 1812, also known as "The War Nobody Wanted to Name", was a ridiculously embarrassing conflict fought between the United States, Great Britain, Canada, and Antarctica. Everybody lost.
Coping with adolescence and struggling to maintain its identity during the Napoleonic Wars, the United States looked to its mother country for guidance. But England, a single parent with a host of colonies to look after, had little time to spend with its gawky young child. Hoping to impose some sort of discipline over its increasingly sullen ward, England resorted to a 10 p.m. curfew.

Hey boss... the PEE queue is getting a tad out of control with CheifJusticeDS off for reasons of his own, and nobody has picked up the slack. I've tried grabbing as much as I can, but I'm also working full time and have difficulty having as much access as I used to. What can we do to pick this up? Pup t 05:27, 27/08/2009
- Honestly? Don't worry too much - the queue has rarely been as in control as it was for the last couple of months. It's been wayyyyy longer before, so I'm not too worried about it. If it really bothers you, try asking a few of the active SKs and Stains to pick up a review or two each, that might do it. I'd grab a couple myself, but work just got insane again. Speaking of which - gotta dash! --UU - natter 08:04, Aug 27
I'm now into 47 hours of playing Oblivion[edit source]
I think I might die of brain hemorrhaging. ~ 08:52, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I was thinking about getting hold of a copy of that - does it come recommended then? --UU - natter 11:37, Aug 27
- Did you play fallout 3? The approach is quite similar, although this one is a bit older (so graphic is not as good). It is a huge game however, with so many side quests you don't need to handle the main one that much. And although it's starting a bit slow, it's improving. The only really annoying thing is that you have about 5-6 voice actors that dub dozens of characters, so sometimes you have two characters conversing in the same voice. Freaky. ~ 11:45, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Graphics? I am a veteran of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k, the BBC Model B Micro and the Commodore C64 sir - I care not for decent graphics! As long as the game is large and engrossing, that's all I'm bothered about. Plus - the older it is, the better the chances of finding a copy I can actually afford now I have an anklebiter to save up for! --UU - natter 11:50, Aug 27
- Well, I got mine for 10 Euros, I assume you can get it even for less. I don't think I even did 47 hours on Mass Effect. ~ 11:54, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Oh I did - I'm about to face down Saren for the final time on the hardest difficulty setting. Bastard's going down. This time, I think I may let the council live - plenty of permutations to take to the sequel... Did you play the DLC Bringing Down The Sky mission? A bit of variety compared to the rest of the uncharted worlds. I'm sure I'll find Oblivion for next to nothing, it's just having the time to go looking for it that's the trick! --UU - natter 12:05, Aug 27
- Oblivion on amazon. Bit more expensive than ten euro, but it's there. I might look into this game actually a friend told me about it too. And Mass Effect I still can't get into. I've tried. It's just not fun. Also anyone played Bioshock? It's awsome. Orian57 Talk 13:55 27 August 2009
