Welcome to the '''Homestar Runner Wiki!''' I wanted to extend a personal welcome, since I believe strongly that a [[Wikipedia:Wiki|Wiki]] should be a democratic and non-threatening place where everyone feels like they can contribute. Unfortunately it can be very frustrating at first if you make changes that are ignored or changed back by other users, but if so I encourage you to hang in there; as you get a feel for the way things are done around here you'll feel more at home. That was my experience, anyway!

If you need any help, feel free to ask anyone on the [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee#Members|welcoming committee]] (like [[User_talk:AbdiViklas|me]]!). You can also post questions on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]].

Thanks, AbdiViklas, but I already saw that one.

Here are some tips to get you started:
+
-
* If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the [[Help:Contents|help]] page.
+
-
* Before you do any significant editing, be sure to familiarize yourself with our [[HRWiki:Standards|wiki standards]].
+
-
* Read up on the rules and guidelines for your [[HRWiki:User page|user page]]. What you're reading right now, by the way, is the "Talk:" page that goes with your user page. It's a good way to communicate directly with specific users. The best way to respond, though, is on the same user page where the conversation was started. E.g. if you have a question, go to my [[User_talk:AbdiViklas|user talk page]] and edit it, then watch my page (via [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]]) for a response.

Revision as of 06:46, 16 November 2005

I'm not really NEW around here, but this is the first time I've posted an edit of any kind using a username here on the HRWiki. My biggest contribution thus far was the Coach Z Easter Egg from Halloween Potion-ma-jig.

Anyways, hello everyone.

Cheat Commandos! Rock, rock on!

How Do YOU Deal With the Office Dullard?

Here's a method I came up with, similar to one of Strong Bad's.

Keep a cell phone on your desk, programmed to your office number and extension, if you have one. Whenever the office dullard approaches, press the "Send" button on your cell phone. This will cause your office or cubicle phone to ring. Answer it, then pretend you just answered the phone and are talking to someone very important. Since the dullard will have heard the phone ring, he won't be able to think you're bluffing, as long as you make your end of the conversation sound natural.

Another variation of the theme is to have it programmed to the dullard's phone number. That way, he'll hear HIS phone ring and will have to run all the way back to his office/cubicle to answer it. Make sure you hang up your cell phone before he gets there.

So, there's mine. Now, what's YOUR method for dealing with the Office Dullard?

Images

We use PNG format for images around here instead of JPG, to avoid compression artifacts. Although you obviously know what you're doing, since you uploaded and linked to an image and all that, I'm gonna go ahead and hit you wit' my welcome template, since it has all the choicest, most helpful links in one place. The relevant part, in particular, is HRWiki:Standards#Screenshot.

Welcome!

DELETED!

Thanks, AbdiViklas, but I already saw that one.
