Subprime Mortgage
Yes... I'm back again. Sorry for the intermittent contributions as of late but I have a non-subprime mortgage to pay up here in Canada that gets in the way of my play time. Anyway, I don't know if I can get an "I called it" since this was an October script but Stephen mentioned the mortgage crisis on the Jan 8 show. It's been a while since I snagged some screen capture images and I'm not up on the current copyright crap so I was wondering if you could possibly dig up two for me: One screen capture from the show showing the mortgage crisis in the news (3 newspaper articles) and the picture of Stephen's "Cool Ranch" Doritos mortgage free home. If you could obtain these, i'll update the article Subprime Mortgage. Thanks, and Happy New Year! --OHeL 02:37, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Stephen's stigmata
Good point. Can't hurt having a bit more patriotism in that image. So there's a new version up there: Stephen bleeding the flag! Although the old version is still showing up on the stigmata page for some reason. --Careax 05:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh, the cache needs to be purged. I can't see it, but I'm not on the Mac...pffft...--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 05:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year!
Just found this, and thought you needed it. :-) Image:Brimley mccain.jpg.  Think of it as a (very) late Christmas present.  xo--thisniss 19:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Happy New Year to you too! Hope you got around to voting (sorry you didn't get to nominate) that pic is frightening. Does this mean Wilford supports McCain? If so, what is McCain's stance on The Diabetes?--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 19:46, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm... Brimley supports McCain, Norris supports Huckabee... too weird. Happy New Year all.  --Not MC Esteban™ 19:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Colbert Nation Pages
So, since i cannot remove insults from other peoples pages, and i cannot replace their pages with my own set of insults, then what is it that I am supposed to do?

thanks, Aristotler

I have been editing both the Simian order page and the insults on the mujihadeen pages keep getting reverted. It looks like you are reverting them. Please explain why I am not allowed to remove insults, or to replace insults with insults of my own. Please explain who is doing the reverting.

Thanks, Aristotler

I am able to change it right now, but, it is futile because you or somebody else keeps deleting my edits. I want to remove insults of me from the muj page or replace them with my own set of insults, and you will not let me cause you froze the page. Who are you, do you have a name on the ColBoard? Why do you freeze insults of me on a page here?

Your inability to answer my questions provides good clues about who you are. Since you deleted my edits on the Simian page earlier today, I fully expect you to delete them again. I expect that some other "secret agreement" will be the next reason that you delete my edits, or protect the weak muj, or whatever else. Am i wrong here? Who are you?

Hello, Well, obviously you are trying. But, your inability to answer hardly any of my questions gives me pause. Just say you are uno, was not that hard. I will discuss with the Simians and we will decide if we want to participate in this endeavor. Participation may work, or may be a waste of time due to pre-determined extreme biases.

Cheers, Aristotle

Joe Wilson's War
Ok, thanks. I'll get back into it and finish it off. Had a lot of craziness happen recently. But it shouldn't take too long to complete. --Careax 04:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Oops, good catch on the Russert image ref. Fixed now. Cheers, Careax 08:15, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Another project?
So I was thinking, what do you think about us having our own horoscopes? It doesn't have to be "horoscope"...it could be "Ameroscope" or something.

I just thought it up so its sort of sketchy, but I was thinking it could take shape similar to the almanac, threat level, and Did you know. We could repeatedly demonise a certain month as a threat. It would take me a while to come up with the 4380 or so daily horoscopes but they could obviously all have the same voice as an article.

I'm not sure if O'Reilly would embrace horoscopes or not. I think they might be seen as elitist, satanic, or part of the celebritocracy. But even wikipedia has its own conservapedia.

Still thinking it through...but I just thought I'd leave a note to get your response.--GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 22:01, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Edit: By the way, I realized the onion does something similar, but I was thinking more towards what the myface has. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 22:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Ehhh, I've been there. Well, sorry to hear that.


 * I was just throwing it out there. Its probably something that could be started in the future and slowly done. Hope ya get better. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 22:25, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

picture
I was wondering, how do I load pics? I want to put one up for Clive Barker (I'm debating whether it would be better to put up an actual pic of him or a Cenobite).

Thanks.

Clubhouses
On things to do, you posted something about reducing the number of clubhouses. Do wanna just reduce them down to those with their own stub categories? (and then add more later as need be) or what did you have in mind?
 * I think the clubhouses should be consolidated so that clubs with similar interests are together. I believe thisniss was working on putting all the "art" type clubs into one. So, something like that is a good idea.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 20:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Dictionary
Theres a lot of different types of pages included in the dictionary. Some are long, some are short stub'lings. I think at first you wanted them to replace pages marked as stubs that didn't have much potential to grow. But for an article like Blue Dog which is sort of no longer a small dictionary entry, what do you think about a smaller page suffixed with (word) giving the nutshell truthy definition and with the full page being a normal article? I'm not in love with the idea myself but it does seem weird to have a fairly nice sized article part of the dictionary. Just throwing it out there...
 * I don't know if dictionary pages were supposed to be short. They were just supposed to be a way to define things, without regard to length.  Such a disparity in page lengths does seem odd, but I would never insist that once a page reach a certain size another page must be created.  But, of course, we can just add that to the "things to do" lise, LOL!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 20:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Weigh In
Though I think you already thought of this, I'll post it anyway. What do you think about having your personalties table as a template so its only one line. (sort of like the sandbox header). --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 19:42, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The only reason to make anything a template is if there is a lot of code and it will be used many times. Or if you want to use the "choose" function.  I am not sure if all the personalities will be used more than a few times, or if randomizing the characters is a good thing.  I don't see a personality list being posted more than once, unless...just thinking out loud here...you want to prevent people from messing with the list?  Then a template would be a good thing.  It also gives people the impression that they cannot just add another.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 19:56, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, sort of vandalizing but mostly to make it less crowded. If someone posts a new comment but accidentally jacks up the table, ya really can't just revert the revision. Though, I see what you mean in that its really only used once and it really isn't as big code wise as I had thought. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 20:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I do like the prevent vandalism idea, and to unclutter. Both are very good reasons for making a template.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 20:09, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you have any need for the gallery on the talk page? I posted it on Template talk:Weighin. And do you think the personalities template should be made?--GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 04:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I actually created a smaller version, which I believe is on Talk:Weigh In, if I'm not mistaken...okay, it's there...it can be changed so that the similar ideologies can be grouped together, or kept the way it is without the row that shows the titles, check it out and do with it what you will...--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 07:25, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I think i've seen that before. So do you just want it grouped even if the numbering isn't in order?--GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 17:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Not sure, we can try it grouped by ideology and see how it works, we can always revert.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 17:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * k, placed in categories now... looks a little uneven and bulky but it could be formatting to be made smaller. Its up to you. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 02:08, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I moved Stephen closer to the front of the line of American leaders and removed the other sections and tables that were just redundant...I think this may be ready to go!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 02:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * theres 42 isn't there? Is this going to be a daily thing? (like the daily poll) or a few ones set up for a period of time(like write a caption)--GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 03:03, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 42! Okay, I think daily is way too intense, more like Write A Caption is better. You never know how long an issue will stay "hot".--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 03:09, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

WI templates
I redid the weigh in templates so that is purely just source code and the other templates simply give the specific image, name, and location of the person. I thought this would make formatting a little easier now that only one edit is needed to widen/rearrange the tables. I don't think this will cause any problems but if so, it can obviously be reverted. I also thought it would be nice since anyone could potentially make a new persona without needing to make a new template right away. Edit: Also, the  s at the top in template:weighin are so that they all align below one another uniformly rather than sporadically all over the place. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 16:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good, now I guess we should come up with some topics to have for slow news days and launch this sucker!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 17:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * few questions...


 * Are we going to stick with titles or names? I liked the titles but I didn't know what your intention was.


 * What sort of topics are we talkin about here? Two cents seems to go with the typical assortment of trivial questions of life wisdom mixed in with minor commentary-esque topics for the average joe. I think unrelated non-iraq issues are an untapped source of humor that could possibly give this page a different angle.
 * Were you planning on placing the issue of the story in the form of a question or a general "[insert brief summery of issue]... whats your opinion?"


 * --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 19:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Titles v Names We can try first name, last initial to give it that informal feel. But maybe we can put both?  Like: Rush L., radio personality?
 * Topics I was thinking about anything goes. Iraq-related, non-Iraq-related, anything goes.  Sort of like a SomethingAwful.com forum (heh)...
 * Form of Issue Same as topics, whatever we need to make it work. Some issues can be posted as flamebait, similar to push-polls ("If you knew John McCain had a black baby, would this effect your opinion of him?")  Others can be fill-in-the-blank stuff, like: "My favorite part of Christmas is..."--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 19:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I removed the locations from the main template for now because it seemed a little too trivial/hassle. With a few exceptions, I went with some pretty politically neutral titles...mostly because I'm not feeling that creative today annndd I thought it'd be better if it sounded as if they typed it themselves. Obviously they can be changed to zingers later but its a place holder for now.--GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 22:05, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good, I've been thinking of stuff we can "discuss" and how much fun it will be once we get going! Thank you, nice work. (P.S. I changed a response to an earlier conversation we had regarding "satire", I just don't want you to miss it)--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 22:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Need yer advice
Can you take a look at something on my "stuff" page that resembles the beginnings of a help article. If it works out well, I'm considering calling it something like "Wikiality: Writing Techniques."

So if you could just take a look at it and see what you think (the good/the bad) and if you think anything should be added on, shortened up, etc. I think its a long ways away from being anything worthy of being called a policy. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 17:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, "policy" is more or less something the admins came up with, LOL!


 * It looks good, infact, it reads as if you did some research (cough, cough) shame on you, j/k. I am fine with it, I say people should have more information, they can pick and choose what they will use.  At least they can't say they weren't given the opportunity to read the stuff.  In fact, uncyc will ban people because they don't read the helpful hints pages, LOL.  They have a tag that makes fun of the person and tells them they are banned until they do read it!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 22:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * On second thought, it is easier to read and gives people more options than what was used before, I say replace all the old crap with it.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 19:33, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Late reply: So you want the useful content from improving pages moved to that page? or...


 * I was thinking improving pages was becoming a little crowded with formatting stuff and I thought about merging the relevant formatting/editing content onto Help:Editing or a similar page. What all did you mean by the old stuff?--GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 02:35, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I like your new stuff about satire, it should replace all the old crap about satire. Maybe the help pages should be somehow separated into three distinct pages (categories?)
 * 1. SPG
 * 2. formatting
 * 3. content hints--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 03:34, 31 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds helpful. So do you want the new writing stuff on "Improving pages" or should it be its own page?


 * I had an idea a while back to just make whatever common mistakes left unanswered into sort of like quick talk templates (w/ suggestions) that could be posted on the article's talk page. It seems like the majority of the stuff would be covered in those three sections so its probably not necessary in the end. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 08:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm still gonna work on it a little bit to make it a little more original and not as researchy. I just figured the suggestions page could only provide a limited amount of help in FAQ form. --GlennBecksAT**l (talk) 15:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Awards
Are we doing something like this this yet? ...i thought you mentioned something about best featured the other day....--GlennBecksATool (talk) 03:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know, but one of the articles was voted for feature and no one has moved it to the front page. Our MC has been AWOL (most likely school) and I have too much to take on one more thing!  I don't want to suggest it when we have no one who can do it.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 03:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Molech Picture Please?
Could you find pictures of Molech?

Clubhouse
I was just trying to start up a few pages mostly just to have something in there that somebody could edit/add to/remove later. I'm still trying think of things that can be used as content like youtube videos and what not. I still might do the Liberal Watchers one or one other clubhouse but i figured the American, Jesus, and tek jansen ones could be left for another day for someone with enough balls and creative wit. And what do you think about linking to the specific clubhouses in the userboxes? --GlennBecksATool (talk) 04:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm...never thought about that one, sounds like a good idea. I was thinking maybe (if it's not too much work) maybe we can use just plain "Clubhouse" instead of "Wikiality:Clubhouse:"--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 04:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

that shouldn't be too bad--GlennBecksATool (talk) 04:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you feel like it's something you want to take on, or if you feel it's a good idea, go for it! I'm going to have to see if we're going to do "Feature of the year"...--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 04:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


 * "Clubhouse" or "Clubhouses" ...Yeah, I was going to stop there and see what you thought. So basically you want the root page changed to"Clubhouse"? or should I redirect it to the current root page? Also, do you think the category should be "Daily Show Club" or "Clubhouses: Daily Show"--GlennBecksATool (talk) 08:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok so double checking here...


 * Clubhouse
 * Clubhouse: Tds
 * Clubhouse: Homo
 * Clubhouse: etc...

No subpages, just a main clubhouse page with links to each clubhouse.


 * I would take it a step beyond by asking if it should be the full name rather than initials but clubs like Boozers, Users, and Losers would make that a mess. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 08:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Improving Pages
Has anyone suggested making anything like this yet:

I noticed we already have Help:Starting a new page and Wikiality:Improving Pages could more or less be our equivalent of "Develop the article"

anyway, just wanting to get your thoughts--GlennBecksATool (talk) 06:13, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * We started something like that, but it didn't get past the idea stage. We couldn't figure out what to use:
 * Colbert College, which became
 * Truthiness University, which didn't go anywhere, but
 * military rankings was tried for a moment before becoming
 * religious ranks (pope, priest, altar boy, etc) another dead end idea.


 * We tried to use the "clubhouses" in the way other wikis used "portals". But, instead of being about a topic or field, it would be about the users and their similar interests.


 * Which of course went no where, LOL. but, it really isn't that funny.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 06:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thats horribly saddening.

Well, I figured there would be a lot of things that had been rejected in the past. I think the clubhouses thing wouldn't have caught on unless we had an active user group the size of uncyclopedia. Mostly because, as a n00b, it appeared to be primarily a user community thing rather than also a portal project for a genre of articles. But i don't see why it couldn't still catch on.

Though, the inability for the path to improving articles to catch on is clearly clinton's fault.--GlennBecksATool (talk) 07:19, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * We did have an active user group and quite a few visitors, albeit not the size of uncyc's. However, I fear that the majority of our users were students and wikis aren't as easy to use as myspace or facebook, which is where I believe they were instead...but I still have faith that once we hit our 10k mark we will be able to build our base!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 07:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

oh yes, how could i forget about the permanent super-bases. I think a fair amount of the members in this myface demographic are going to go where ever everyone else is going. Its a little bit like hierarchy applied to personal interest. On the other hand, theres also the type that enjoy things which are authentic, seemingly without limitations and don't appear to have diluted itself/lost its edge or sold out, regardless of whether it gets major site traffic or not. And...as a result of averages...i expect to always find someone seeing the content as gay, stupid, lame, or out of date in some way. You can't make all those shitheads happy. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 08:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the Thanksgiving greetings; as you are aware, we Canadians celebrated Turkey Day on October 8... I will assume your tardy message was due to the slow processing of the US E-Mail Postal Service.

Weigh In
Do you want them just left in order or categorized? I had thought about categorizing them (in numberic order) with those categories you already listed but the problem with that is if we ever change/add anyone new, the numbering would be instantly off. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 21:42, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I only made the categories to see what we had and add any that were missing. I was trying to make sure we had enough "extremist" points of view to have an interesting conversation (cough)--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 22:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * What do you think about the template itself? Can it be made easier?


 * I'm just worried if somethings too abstract and takes longer than 6-10 seconds to understand, it'll get passed over. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 22:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You're right we have to make it simple, we've had the problem with the "cards". Compare the Valentine's Day Card "game" to the Give Thanks for Stephen "game".  So, simplest is best...I have to admit I haven't looked at since you made it, will look again.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 03:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Since I'm already making a template for each image, should I just make a full template for each person? Then names and locations could be specific for each person.

The difference would basically be instead of typing, it would now be  ...is that easier?

Also, is the talk page going to be used for directions or will that be placed on the main page or subdirectory page?--GlennBecksATool (talk) 05:58, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the fewer times you ask people to type that vertical bar, the better.

are you having issues with the recent changes page? After a few page refreshes, the most recent edits after "02:01 Keith Olbermann" are not listed. --GlennBecksATool (talk) 18:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Is this too random?
Um, I've been doing some editing, so that the names of various Wiccan writers are now re-directs to "Satan," except for Zsuzsanna Budapest, who redirects to "lesbian." Is that too random for anyone other than me to get?

Thanks
Thanks for all the stuff you're doing for my stubs. Hope I'm not going overboard. Are you an admin, BTW?

No prob. I'm actually an anthropology and religion major at college. It's nice to be in a place where I can write truthy information without all these alleged "facts" about how Islam was historically more tolerant than Christianity, and evolution being scientifically proven, that my teachers and books keep attempting to force on me. My gut knows better!

Wikiality is a fag enabling site
You at wikiality have repeatedly censored the gospel message of Westboro Baptist Church. We have warned you, you need our message. Now wikiality is doomed, irreversibly like Sodom and Gommorah. And everyone associated with wikiality is headed straight for hell.

Gods gonna make fun of you
And throw you in hell if you don't make a page with Matthew Sheppard in hell.

Template Help
Hey, I'm making sort of a mock up of a web 2.0 template to be used on pages like Blogger, Youtube or MyFace.com...etc...(sort of like ) At first I was going to do the usual and set random images on either side that are synonymous with the internet, but thats sooo old school media...so I've decided to try and have relatively sort youtube videos instead of images on either side of the text. The problem is, I'm having a hard time getting embedded youtube videos to align (left/right) the same way we normally do images... any ideas? --GlennBecksATool (talk) 22:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Heres sort of what I was thinking. These probably aren't the videos I'd use and theres a lot of work to be done to make it smaller and more attractive but basically I'd like to have two videos/gifs on either side with the same text in the center and a random quote below that... similar to what you'd find in the comments section on youtube or a message board. I'd also like to have the videos and/or gifs set to a random shuffle...--GlennBecksATool (talk) 23:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I Am an Op-Ed Columnist (And So Can You!)
I Am an Op-Ed Columnist (And So Can You!) By STEPHEN COLBERT

Surprised to see my byline here, aren’t you? I would be too, if I read The New York Times. But I don’t. So I’ll just have to take your word that this was published. Frankly, I prefer emoticons to the written word, and if you disagree :(

I’d like to thank Maureen Dowd for permitting/begging me to write her column today. As I type this, she’s watching from an overstuffed divan, petting her prize Abyssinian and sipping a Dirty Cosmotinijito. Which reminds me: Before I get started, I have to take care of one other bit of business:

Bad things are happening in countries you shouldn’t have to think about. It’s all George Bush’s fault, the vice president is Satan, and God is gay.

There. Now I’ve written Frank Rich’s column too.

So why I am writing Miss Dowd’s column today? Simple. Because I believe the 2008 election, unlike all previous elections, is important. And a lot of Americans feel confused about the current crop of presidential candidates.

For instance, Hillary Clinton. I can’t remember if I’m supposed to be scared of her so Democrats will think they should nominate her when she’s actually easy to beat, or if I’m supposed to be scared of her because she’s legitimately scary.

Or Rudy Giuliani. I can’t remember if I’m supposed to support him because he’s the one who can beat Hillary if she gets nominated, or if I’m supposed to support him because he’s legitimately scary.

And Fred Thompson. In my opinion “Law & Order” never sufficiently explained why the Manhattan D.A. had an accent like an Appalachian catfish wrestler.

Well, suddenly an option is looming on the horizon. And I don’t mean Al Gore (though he’s a world-class loomer). First of all, I don’t think Nobel Prizes should go to people I was seated next to at the Emmys. Second, winning the Nobel Prize does not automatically qualify you to be commander in chief. I think George Bush has proved definitively that to be president, you don’t need to care about science, literature or peace.

While my hat is not presently in the ring, I should also point out that it is not on my head. So where’s that hat? (Hint: John McCain was seen passing one at a gas station to fuel up the Straight Talk Express.)

Others point to my new bestseller, “I Am America (And So Can You!)” noting that many candidates test the waters with a book first. Just look at Barack Obama, John Edwards or O. J. Simpson.

Look at the moral guidance I offer. On faith: “After Jesus was born, the Old Testament basically became a way for Bible publishers to keep their word count up.” On gender: “The sooner we accept the basic differences between men and women, the sooner we can stop arguing about it and start having sex.” On race: “While skin and race are often synonymous, skin cleansing is good, race cleansing is bad.” On the elderly: “They look like lizards.”

Our nation is at a Fork in the Road. Some say we should go Left; some say go Right. I say, “Doesn’t this thing have a reverse gear?” Let’s back this country up to a time before there were forks in the road — or even roads. Or forks, for that matter. I want to return to a simpler America where we ate our meat off the end of a sharpened stick.

Let me regurgitate: I know why you want me to run, and I hear your clamor. I share Americans’ nostalgia for an era when you not only could tell a man by the cut of his jib, but the jib industry hadn’t yet fled to Guangdong. And I don’t intend to tease you for weeks the way Newt Gingrich did, saying that if his supporters raised $30 million, he would run for president. I would run for 15 million. Cash.

Nevertheless, I am not ready to announce yet — even though it’s clear that the voters are desperate for a white, male, middle-aged, Jesus-trumpeting alternative.

What do I offer? Hope for the common man. Because I am not the Anointed or the Inevitable. I am just an Average Joe like you — if you have a TV show.

Nobel Prize News
I started a "Breaking News" story for Gore's Nobel (by "started" I mean I basically mean there's a placeholder there marking the fact that we should have a story for it). I was hoping you could work on it? I feel a story of such magnitude deserves our collective truthiness. Also, I miss collaborating with you. :) --thisniss 01:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Speaking of collaborating, please check out the thing on the admin board about things to do and on-going projects...I got us posted on another site and am waiting to see what the reaction is to that...--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 02:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Video Excerpts
Have you looked at the video submission think on makemeamerica.com. I got this passage:


 * If he admits to any foreign ties, it’s to having a hunting estate at Skilbo Castle in Scotland. And that’s it.  No parades.  No crazy hat dances.  His only clubs are ones like “The South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club” whose manmade, trout-stuffed lake burst through its damn leaving 2,200 dead in one of the greatest floods in American history, the Johnstown Flood of 1889.  Sad event, great social club.  Over 60 millionaires, and that was back when a trolley ride cost a penny.

I think I'll do it sitting in front of a fire, smoking a pipe. --Not MC Esteban™ 19:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Some stuff
Am I the only one having troubles with the editing tool bar not showing up? I've tested it in both firefox and IE...

Also, are the front page subpages screwed up for you too? it seems like the ajax or whatever code used for the table is broken somehow... (also tested in firefox & IE)

Image Size?
Whats the image size we usually try to stay below? I figured it would prompt me, but it sort of continued to upload it without any sort of warning. -- GlennBecksATool (talk) 06:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * If it lets you load without a warning, it should be okay. I believe the number is: 153600 bytes.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 07:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Have you heard about this yet?
http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2007-09-20-colbert-klingons_N.htm?csp=34

It looks like a big, steaming pile of bullshit to me...I think the full might of the Nation should be brought against this weasel...but in all seriousness I hope Colbert mentions this on his show. --Demonseed 14:52, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Of course, no problem. :) --Demonseed 17:37, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

That's what I was thinking also; that Colbert was setting up a parody of the Joe Rogan/Carlos Mencia "scandal" (Mencia allegedly has been kifing other comics' stuff.) So, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. --Demonseed 17:45, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

City Table
Didn't you or someone make a city template recently? I could easily make one but I could have swore someone had a template page and everything for it...-- GlennBecksATool (talk • contribs) 00:24, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Blog stuff
Hey. I left notes for the people who updated our blog letting them know that I will be "back on duty." I also wanted to let you know that I've deleted that one wonky post, and that I can edit the others if you think it necessary (although on quick scan they look fine to me). Let me know if you have further thoughts on this. --thisniss 04:56, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * My feeling has always been to give precedence to people who participate in the community over people who come in and try to ride our coattails (ahem). I am merely curious (1) how they found out about the blog and (2) why they chose what they did to post on the blog.
 * and (3) if they feel compelled to continue, why they would feel that way...
 * Apparently they are admins from other wikis and have the "authority" to edit any wikia wiki...seems a bit strange to go around and start representin' other pages, though. I guess we should feel flattered that so many people want to get in on our action!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 05:07, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for letting us know that you guys will be updating the Humor Wikia Blog more regularly now! I have been missing the "Did You Know..." posts. Thank you for deleting the wonky post. If you prefer to take sole responsibility for contributing snippets from Wikiality to the Wikia Humor Blog, please let us know. I am working with Wikia to launch a new version of the blog, and have been asking Bhadani to contribute posts to each of the 9 blogs daily. We pull posts from the top content widget in the sidebar, based on most popular or most visited. I chose the elephant article in particular because of the Hello, Elephant joke up top. I can ask him to pull snippets from the other wikis involved instead (Uncyclopedia, UnMario, and MAlf. Thanks! --Anniemal 14:41, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Emmys
Turn em on if you can. Stephen and Jon are about to come out. >:D --Not MC Esteban™ 02:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Entertainment footer
Hi -- I'm working on a project for Wikia to help link the TV wikis together, and encourage people to see this as one big site, rather than a lot of little wikis. I'd like to post this footer at the bottom of the main page.

The gaming wikis have started a similar project, and they've seen a lot more cross-traffic. Would it be okay to post this at the bottom of the main page here? You could also feel free to edit it, to fit in better with this community. -- Danny (talk ) 01:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Let me see how the other admins feel about it...--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 01:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, that would be great. I'll check in, and see what people think. Thanks! -- Danny (talk ) 14:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Colbert
Is colbert a real conservative or does he just make fun of them? Elassint 00:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Cuban
What I wrote came from the gut and was true. Don't be so liberal.

We need to make a "Larry Craig Man of the Month" award and give it to that months most "manly" republicans a/o conservatives a/o right winger.

The simian order trolls erased and redid their page. Can you reset? Its now a load of BS For example were Bush to one again call a man good looking he would be at the top of the list for that months award. 23:30, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Grazon
