A further look, if you have the time

Hello, it's UU again, back like that irritating twinge in your left shoulder you're trying to ignore, but suspect you may need to speak to the doctor about.

I've pulled Down With That Sort Of Thing! into a shape I'm reasonably happy with, so I'm considering releasing it into the wild to fend for itself, and wondered if you'd take another minute or two to take another look first.

I've added an image I think is a bit better, given it an ending, tweaked the structure and so forth. I'm not sure if it needs some form of intro, or if it works launching straight in to the dialogue. I'm also wondering if I need another image (I can't find one of a stuffy man vibrating with the necessary indignation). And I also suspect you're right about it needing a name change. Problem is, I'm really attached to the name - it comes from Father Ted, a sitcom I love, and I can't bring myself to change it. If you're sure it will help the article, say so and I'll take that as the kick I need to move on from my attachment!

Finally, nice work with the Hell's Chicken Showdown article. I had absolutely no idea who Yanni was when I encountered it (although Google soon took care of that), but thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for a good laugh on a cloudy tuesday after a lovely, sunny long weekend! --Sir Under User (Hi, How Are You?) VFH KUN 12:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Looks good to me man!! Very funny; set it free at your discretion. I like the new pic, and I hadn't realized it was spurn of Father Ted! I love that show as well! Should it be VFH'd, you've got my vote. ;) --THINKER 15:44, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Much obliged to you. I have let it out of the pen and into the great wide open, as Tom Petty once said. *Sniff*, they grow up so fast! I'll have to make a shiny template sooner or later just so's you can be the first to have one! --Sir Under User (Hi, How Are You?) VFH KUN 18:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Eat it quickly before he changes his mind.


Warning: cake prepared in an environment which also processes nuts,
and contains lactose, gluten, ground glass and arsenic, which gives it a lovely tang.

An idea

I've been thinking about the next phase of the project, the "Behind the Scenes with the Smiths" page. One of the original ideas you suggested was a section for "Cast and Crew Biographies." I was thinking it might be tricky making a cast and crew biography section that could stand on its own...Perhaps instead of making a sub-page devoted to cast and crew bios, we could blend biographical information right in to the documentary? I think that breif bios could fit in relatively seamlessly to a "behind the scenes" page. Whadya think? --THE 20:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

THE is back!! Yayz, I'm glad we're still pushing forward with this.
I know this may sound a bit backwards, but for the Behind the Scenes with the Smiths, lets hold off for just a bit. No great length or anything; just enough time for us to finalize the edits on the deleted scenes and trailers. I'll get back on the deleted scenes, which I should've been doing in your absence (what a neglectful asshole). I think the trailers may be ready for approval as finished, but gotta double check on that. I should have my remaining edits done relatively soon, thereafter we can get moving on the Smiths doc. I just don't want to work like we usually do on that one (like getting the skeleton done and then filling in the details) -- I'd like us to build it full through, to keep it in line with other in-project pages like the original Sex Seafood doc. Let me know if this is a problem (and feel free to remind me regularly should my mind wander, as it is prone to do). --THINKER 04:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I definitely agree about writing the Smiths one the same way we wrote the original "Sex Seafood" article. And yeah, we can wait until we're finished the trailers and deleted scenes before moving on. I agree that the trailers are in pretty good shape, perhaps a few pictures would help, I might add some later today. And no rush on thinkerizing the deleted scenes, there's no due date on this :). --THE 16:12, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

You've been Invited

Image:Satiropendium.png

You've been invited to take an exiting new beta test of concept of Satiropendium, the comedic compendium!

Satiropendium requires good writers willing to collaborate articles with others, tough critics to review the articles to see if they're worthy, and stewards to verify the articles as being the best they are. More details can be seen in the link. If you are not the best writer, the inviter might have you in mind as a critic and steward, and if ever the full wiki is setup, you will be able to have a chance to get a full fleged admin account, but that's only if you're one of the first five to sign up for the job (and there's a pretty good you will be).

Note: There was a seperate wiki, but because it was a decrepit old version of mediawiki, it was shut down until adequate hosting can be found. You can help us get hosting by joining and helping out!

~ Image:Tophatsig.png 29/08/2007 @ 21:40
Hmmm... sounds like something I'd be into, though I don't know if I fully understand the concept. I'll read the forum topics on this and whatnot. --THINKER 04:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Bleh.

 Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • bloggings) MUP 21:42 Aug 29, 2007

Congratulations

Just wanted to congratulate you on a well-earned Writer of the Month Award. Way to go THINKER! Sir Roger 02:27, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much Rog! I'll be making the rounds with personalized thank you tomorrow night I think, so look out for a nicely detailed one on your talk.
PS - I really wish you'd write more. I can't think of an article of yours that I've read and not enjoyed. Quite the opposite. ;) --THINKER 06:52, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

HAHA LOOK!

Not in exactly a normal state of mind right now. And I think Wikia is hiccuping again. But look!: Image:RAHB Thinker Comic 1.jpg

HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! See what you do when you're not getting laid?! YOU MAKE FUNNY LITTLE CARTOONS!!! :) --THINKER 04:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Pathetic, isn't it? -RAHB 04:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

And thanks for the nom, ya crazy! -RAHB 03:29, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, what have we here

Image:Rahb_Thinker_Comic_3.jpg
I could go on like this all night. -RAHB 05:50, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

awesome!

thanks again for your support. i hope to continue to earn your respect, approval, and spare change. --OfficerGerrycheeversKunTalk 03:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm Not Dead Yet!

Your n00b is indeed not dead yet; only resting. In fact, I actually [finally] wrote a quick UnNews article. UnNews:Uncyclopedia_author_found_to_have_false_credentials Check my new piece of shit now! --SirIsaac 22:36, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Nice! I touched it up a bit and added a little at the bottom. Then I put it in the recent UnNews Template, so you're currently on the mainpage! Good job dude; I'm working on an UnNews myself currently. You stickin' around for a while then? --THINKER 23:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
By all indications. I would like to run another UnNews article I have sitting around in my notebook, so if I see you in IRC I'll send it on somehow. --SirIsaac 23:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
I'd go on now but I've got to be heading out in a little bit. If you want, create it in your Userspace (User:SirIsaac/Article Title Here). If not, I'm sure I'll be on IRC at some point quite soon. --THINKER 23:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

cont. from VFH H&B

Yeah, that article needs something, possibly some Thinker. But note that I purposely tried to avoid the usual Uncyc custom of, what is it called, "truth in the link"? For example, I debated whether I should do stuff like "... we are very innovative about the ways we show love." I decided against. Usually I do that, but I wanted this article to be different. I wanted it to be genuinely disturbing. Almost oppresively black humor. But somehow it falls flat as is. I'm not saying you have to stick to my original approach though. Have fun with it. Maybe we can go dutch on a feature. --So So 11:55, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh the truth in linkage is perfectly fine; I wouldn't change a thing on that. I really dig the piece overall. I just think the irony of a multinational conglomerate being compassionate and caring about diversity should be expanded a bit. All it needs is a little synergy, some strategic resource evaluation and reallocation, and an IUA-149b form, and it'll be featured for sure. :) --THINKER 21:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I did. I went there.

You're welcome

You're welcome. I recently wrote Backmasking, but it didn't go over too well on VFH (+1). Too much rehashing the same joke probably. Anyway, I'm busy writing other things since I just began a new degree in creative writing, so I'm not writing much for Uncyclopedia right now. Maybe periodically. Sir Roger 01:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Ya welcome, eh?

Well, it seems as if you have won the Writer of the Month award. That means you done well last month (two months ago? ah well, moving on), but that doesn't mean you stop writing. I'll beat you with a large blunt object if you do that. It's only business, nothing more.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 01:14, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

And from me too. That was a well deserved WotM. You took a large delivery of funny, and surgically inserted it into well-written articles. A good job well done, say I. Oh, and ta for your comments on my (slow) development! I think I'm starting to get to know my way around here. I got to the lunch hall last week without stopping to ask for directions, and the hall monitors haven't noticed me yet! --Sir Under User (Hi, How Are You?) VFH KUN 08:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

A penny for the guy, hey ?

So Mr. Thinker, i was thinking about doing an article on the effects of sexual abstinence on teenagers and how this reflects in a placid pool of gently sparkling neurons on those beautiful little brains. Problem is, i really don't know how to make, edit, mess up or otherwise utilize this hellish wikian construct. I got the testimonial (the fucked-up teenager's testimonial, that is) all banged up, but i can't make a page just with it. I need an introductory sentence, templates, images, and exactly how do i put these goddamn things in wikicode. I was wondering if you could spare the time to help me. I'd show you the testimonial, and you'd give me your thoughs. Gentle, placid, thoughts. I'm sure you're a partisan of abstinence just as much as me, eh ? nudge nudge, etc. Well...i'd be grateful if you could consider that. I'm not sure how else i can contact you, besides using this, and i'm not even sure what this is. Seems you're the only one i 'know' around here. So, what do you say ?

well, hope you take this into consideration. just not too much. Regards, --Loathing 18:33, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah ha! The mysterious Loathing has returned. I'm quite excited to see what twisted comedic stylings you bring my way.
All you have to do to get started is create the article in your Userspace. To do so, Simply type User:Loathing/[YourArticle'sTitle] into the search bar to your left and click Go. Once there, click the edit tab and type to your heart's content. Don't worry about all the complicated wikijargon at this point; in your user space it cannot be deleted or altered without your permission. I'll take a look at the content and help you out as needed. So go ahead and get that going, then drop me a line when you're ready for me to take a look. Oh, and if it isn't funny, you're sacrificed the wind goddess Luhora. ;) --THINKER 22:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, the meat of the text's done. I meant it to be somewhat prolix, but maybe it is excessively so. And it's badly, horrible formatted. I have no idea whatsoever of what to do with a layout of any kind. And you know what ? I have just noticed i tend to be overly-adjectivated and hyperbolic. Who would've known ? Well, anyway, if you could drop in and take a look, i'd thank you humbly. --Loathing 19:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, i'm a moron. Here's the link http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/User:Loathing/Sexual_Abstinence --Loathing 19:50, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

HAH! Now that, that is quite funny! I'm thinking that it would make an excellent UnBook. I think it'd probably be good to make mention of the Catcher in the Rye parody for those who may not have read it. Sounds like it'd be awesome as UnBooks:Pitcher in the Rye! That has serious excellence potential.

I have a couple of ideas to clean it up and get it presentable; let me know what you think about the title change and I'll work from there. Great work so far though man, that is seriously funny stuff. --THINKER 23:56, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, man, thanks ! I seriously didn't know if it'd be funny or just plain weird...But yeah, title changing seems like a good idea. I actually based that article on what I thought a gonzo column would read like if the author had some serious sexual troubles. Ever read transmetropolitan ? I'll show you the original 'column' if you like, but yeah, i think it works best (especially in terms of uncyc humor) if it's changed to a more...shall we say...parodiable parody, yeah ? Yeah, that sounded pretty strange. Still, no worries, eh ? Brainstorm all you want, man. I think you're on the right track. And i'm always around. Somewhere. Thanks again for the encouragement. English's not my native language and sometimes i think i get it pretty tangled up. Well, my heart is filled with joy. Regards, --Loathing 00:45, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Now this ocurred to me in a flash: What about some kind of cross between Burroughs' Naked Lunch (taking the character, Benway) and Catcher in the Rye ? Seems just crazy enough to work, perhaps ? Using the structure of Catcher in the Rye, adding little elements of Naked Lunch. What'cha think ?--Loathing 00:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, you might want to split that concept into two articles. That sounds like it might try to cover too much funny and end up confusing. I'll put this on my Workinonit list, since it might be a couple of days before I can devote some quality time with it. Fear not though, it is on the fast track. --THINKER 02:32, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Righty-o, man. I'll be waiting. thanks.--Loathing 15:33, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Nice forward. Really touched me. So, I altered the introduction and conclusion, to make it more agreeable as an UnBook. Please have a look at it and tell me what you think, if it's fresh for the press or straight to the bin. Regards, again and again, Loathing is quite redundant. --Loathing 16:08, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Eh, I think everyone is entitled to their one-off vanity VFH nom.. I nommed it more because it made me laugh hysterically than because of the meme. I hope RAHB and his team of merry oddities create more UnTunes -- perhaps a few that aren't even about me -- so I can nom them as well (and let them have a fighting chance) :D --THINKER 01:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
You know I've never written anything truly "vain." I'm much more consumed with other things. Like writing non-vain stuff. And homework. Though that's less important, if my priorities are straight.

A poor attempt at whoring

Ah, The THINKER. A noble bastion of writing excellence in a sea of vandals. Or something. Ahem, aside from that, I thought I'd have a go at this "whoring" that seems so popular. I'm not doing a very good job at it, to be honest. I'm probably too polite. But anyway, I'm hoping that you'll think I've done a decent job with my article Shopping list, and will be moved to vote for it. That's about it really, tatty byes! --Sir Under User (Hi, How Are You?) VFH KUN 10:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Ooh, has a nerver been struck? Don't worry, this is very possibly my first and last attempt at whoring. It goes against all my high falutin' moral standards. Apologies for going against yours! --Sir Under User (Hi, How Are You?) VFH KUN 20:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Nah, its just that whoring, to me, undermines the integrity of the voting VFH system. Its not a huge deal (I'm sure I've been guilty of it at some point or another), just try to go the more subtle route next time. Asking for Pee Reviews is always a good one. :) --THINKER 20:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I think I agree with that! --Sir Under User (Hi, How Are You?) VFH KUN 08:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

You still haven't responded to my first messages about Dane Cook, but as it's now been featured, I suppose I'll thank you for all the previous support that you've given my article in the past. The resounding pee review, the first genuine VFH support, the second VFH nom's support, the fleeting support of the third nomination....well, anyway, thanks. I'm sorry you felt compelled (for an as-yet unexplained reason) to change your vote, but in any case, what's done is done.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 21:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

A shame-faced attempt at thanking

The whoring worked, but I feel cheap. Hey, it's quite an accurate name for it then! I won't be doing it again, I feel, and please accept this slightly tarnished template as a grubby thanking! --Sir Under User (Hi, How Are You?) VFH KUN 15:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

The list to the left contains all the thanks you could ever need.
It also contains the names of all those who voted for Under User's article shopping list.

And it contains 94 other items. Perhaps you'd like to spot them if your sudoku was too easy today?

I only ask because your writing is better than that. You don't need it. The health system keeps them around for a while, and I generally only consciously abstain from articles in the negatives. --THINKER 08:07, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Built Ford tough.

On VFH, you stated that the article needed a lead image. I appreciate the suggestion—I hadn't thought of it until then. However, I am at a loss as to what to put as the image. Should it just be some generic image of Americans, or something more specific? I am toying with the idea of using the picture you see here, but unfortunately the article describes humans and not lizards. (Granted, Americans do have some lizard-like qualities. But they're more slimy than scaly.) What do you think? --Acolyte CUN RA My cat is better than Benson talk stalk 18:51, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

LOL, I like it!! Either that, or an extremely obese tub of lard in front of the flag, that'd also work..
But my other concern about the species, genus, species thing, what do you think about that? --THINKER 20:47, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't quite see what you're getting at. All of the species listed are called "Americans" because they are all members of the genus Americanus. I included the undocumented immigrant in the list because I knew if I didn't, others would just add it in (and be more racist with it than I would). Are you complaining because species can't really evolve and "jump branches" into a different genus?

By the way, I'm having trouble coming up with an appropriate caption for the proposed picture. Any suggestions would be appreciated. --Acolyte CUN RA My cat is better than Benson talk stalk 22:39, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

"Average body size ranges from anorexic to obese, depending on the species" Well if American is the species, than how can this trait be species dependent? Maybe I'm missing something in the classification hierarchy or something.
I went the traditional down-the-center route in my cap here, but some others:

A typical blue (and cold) blooded American male.
The average American has the ability to lose its fatty growths (in this case, a tail) and instantly regrow it. This phenominon is known as "regeneration," and sometimes referred to as "binging and purging."
Built Ford Tough (my personal favorite)

Lemme know whatcha think. --THINKER 00:44, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I think you were misled by the title. The title American (species) means plural species. In this context, "American" refers to the genus, the next level up from species. (Given your name, I'm surprised that you don't know your taxonomic classifications.)

Oh, and I, too like your third suggestion best. It's just so wonderfully random. --Acolyte CUN RA My cat is better than Benson talk stalk 00:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

By the way, what does "I went the traditional down-the-center route in my cap here" mean? You lost me there. --Acolyte CUN RA My cat is better than Benson talk stalk 01:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I had to change the caption. Once I put it in the article, "Built Ford tough" just seemed too random. --Acolyte CUN RA My cat is better than Benson talk stalk 01:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

You made the right choice...
