another weather freak?!?!

So you like weather, do ya? Awesome! It's nice to see another weather person on here. As for me, in August, I'm going to begin working on my Master's in Atmospheric Science at The University of Alabama at Huntsville. Weather is most certainly my life.

-Ty "StrongRad" Martin

Hey sweet, your Masters. Congratulations. I don't know where I am going to go to college yet, but Central Michigan University is my first choice. --BazookaJoe 13:01, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Joe, thought you would enjoy reading this, it's got some really funny stuff in it. Bad Meteorology FAQ from Penn State. Or, for awexsome weather photography, and some funny weather rants, check out SPC forecaster Roger Edwards' page, Storm Eyes.-StrongRad
Oooo, thanks! —BazookaJoe 12:18, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Great job!

I'm really starting to notice how much work you've been doing here. I feel that you're a big reason why this wiki stays clean of trolls, as well as keeping Recent Changes looking nice and patrolled. You get a big pat on the back for all the work you give into the wiki. Great jorb! —FireBird|Talk 22:51, 3 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, FireBird! -BazookaJoe 23:12, 3 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Just letting you know

I noticed you changed my signature on the Cheat Commandos O's STUFF page, but I changed my signature so that it's supposed to be three tildes. A little insider joke, I guess. Also, I second FireBird's comment above, you really are doing good stuff for all of us here. [[User:Some HSR themed username|BazookaJoe]] (Some HSR themed username) 02:56, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

10-4; inside joke acknowledged. I appreciate the love. -BazookaJoe 03:05, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Oh. Haha, look what happened to your sig. BazookaJoe 03:07, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Favourite User Award Winner

Congrats BazookaJoe

You have won the favourite use award for this week (or month)

Here is your trophy

WINNER!!!
Yum. Full of Brunswick Stew. Thank you! -BazookaJoe 14:24, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Where'd it go?

According to your user page, you created the DVD commentary transcript for the bet, but it doesn't appear to be present. Did you forget to type it up? Might want to fix that before someone takes the lack of a transcript's presence for the lack of a transcript and robs you of your glory!

Keep on tranglin', Larry Pat-no, Suicune64 14:48, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Suicune64: I read "Writing DVD commentary transcript for the bet." Present tense. Also note the "Currently working on" at the top of that list. -- Tom 14:50, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)
I did see the present tense, but I can say one of my accomplishments was "writing something," so that's not what I missed. The part I did miss was the "Currently working on". D'oh. Suicune64 15:43, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Yes, actually, I have yet to start writing the commentary transcript for the bet, because my DVD player is acting up with disc 3. -BazookaJoe 14:53, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

STUFFing

Don't beat yourself up. It was good work for a first time. Good prize! I saw your mistake and was tempted to fix it, but I decided to let you figure it out. It's the only way we truly learn. — It's dot com 22:37, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I got it working, finally! I've been putting it off, but I knew sooner or later, I would have to teach myself how to STUFF. Ah, I am so proud of myself. -BazookaJoe 22:38, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)
I'm always interested in feedback to help make the process smoother... Was there anything that should be tweaked? — It's dot com
Really, I have no clue if I failed to do something just right. No, don't bother yourself with tweaking. It worked for me. You get a pizza. -BazookaJoe 22:42, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Trolled

Dude, sorry about being trolled. Rogue Leader / (my talk)

Well, I certainly didn't think my little wish would have been taken as an invitation. -BazookaJoe 22:36, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Well, be careful what you wish for, eh? --Annonymous User Number 69.139.163.12

User page

Also, I'd like to know if adding this discussion topic to the pages I have, and also I would like to know if I can add you to my favorite user list? Thechamp 03:05, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)Thechamp

I didn't understand the first part, but, yes, you can add me if you want. It's your user page. —BazookaJoe 03:10, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)
JOE! Are YOU awake yet? It's dot com isn't, and I want the discussion on my page to start. If possible, can you notify other people about the discussion? Thanks. Thechamp 12:39, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)
No. Your talk page is not meant to be a place to hang out and talk about nothing in particular. There are chat programs and forums for that. —BazookaJoe 12:49, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Yaeh I know, but I need a limited select few people to voice thier opinion on the topic I chose, you see, I happen to trust your opinion, it's not evan that big a deal, it's just an idea I had once in 2004 about a cartoon, I was never emailed back by the chapmans and wanted to know if my idea is good. if you wish to hear my idea, please go talk about it on my page, if you could care less, than have it your way. Thank you. -Thechamp 13:30, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

pi

what do you mean, incorrect numbers?

Strong Bad's record was 13.4 seconds, not 31.4 seconds. So it can't be a reference to pi. —BazookaJoe 17:43, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

oops sorry Smileyface11945 17:44, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

That's all right. —BazookaJoe 17:45, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Am I reading this right? Pi is 13.4 isn't it? Since when is pi 31.4?--Sultn 07:31, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Pi is 3.14. Well actually, it's 3.1415926535897932384626... etc., but generally rounded to 3.14. -Polly 07:36, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Oh I mixed 13.4, with 31.4, silly me.--Sultn 07:51, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Actually, what you've done is mixed 13.4 with 31.4, and then 31.4 with 3.14. Pi = three point one four. -Polly 07:58, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Redirects and double-redirects

Here to say thank you. This is twice in as many days that I've redirected a page to a better title, yet I knew I wouldn't be able to fix the double-redirects right away. Thanks for taking care of that for me. — It's dot com 18:52, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

No probalo. —BazookaJoe 18:54, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Strong Sad smile

Um, is there any particular reason you keep deleting my addition to "The Secrets That I Keep"? I mean, I don't think I've ever seen SS smile anywhere else; isn't that significant enough to be included?

Aside from him smiling in radio, there is also a photo of him smiling in record book. Similar fun facts about "This is the only time we see Strong Sad smiling except for this, that, and the other time" have been rejected in the past. —BazookaJoe 01:48, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Huh! Son of a gun, I didn't even notice that photo until you mentioned it! Sorry bout that. :-)
Not just those—while Strong Sad is still no shining example of contentness, he's been smiling a lot more lately than he used to. --Jay (Talk) 02:27, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Roll of duct tape vs. (American) football

Hi, BazookaJoe. I noticed you reverted my edit for one of the bonus videos on the new Disc 4 release of Strong Bad Emails. I would just like to point out that I confirmed this fact about the duct tape before I changed it on the wiki because I recently purchased the DVD and noticed this discrepancy. If you simply did this in error, I understand. To futher justify me reverting your edit, I took this screen shot:
ducttape6pr.jpg
I never knew footballs had holes in them emotongue.gif —THE PAPER PREEEOW 02:37, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I always assumed it was a football. It wasn't until you reverted me that I double checked and found I was wrong! Buh! Duh! Fuh! Interestingly enough, NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005 transcribed the exact same footage and noted that the object was a "ball." I bet Tom had a hard time telling the difference as well. "When you assume..." —BazookaJoe 02:50, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Wasn't me. The Paper transcribed that. Heh. -- Tom 02:54, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
What an ironic twist to this story. Anyway, I think such an anomaly as a flying roll of duct tape still constitutes a reference to Sample of Style, even though it is not a football. —BazookaJoe 02:58, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Very much so, BazookaJoe. Anyway, I restored the fun fact you added, and I only slightly changed the wording because I also feel it is a reference to the first Sample of Style: "An object is also tossed to Mike in "Sample of Style," except in that instance, he catches it (a football)." Can we agree on this? Maybe there's a better way to say this? Thanks. —THE PAPER PREEEOW 03:07, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Of course I agree. Done and done. I might change word choice in the fun fact when I feel inspired. Or maybe someone else will. I stayed up too late last night waiting for the wiki to come back up. —BazookaJoe 03:11, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Question

At the risk of sounding like a hipocrit, why are you just letting people write on YOUR user page, oh and thanks for welcoming me, one question, though, were is the list of users?Sultn 05:37, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

This is my talk page, where people can talk to me about the goings-on at the wiki. Everyone has a talk page and a main user page. Your talk page is the one I welcomed you on. My userpage is here: User:BazookaJoe. A complete list of users can be found at Special:Listusers. I hope that answers your questions. —BazookaJoe 05:54, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh I didn't know this was your talk page, I thought this was your main user page, thanks for answering my question--Sultn 06:22, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

do over revert

Why?

Strong Bad does say "fat little body" and not "fine." If it is not obvious, it can be deduced from the context: Strong Bad tries to serenade Ali and Ali's sister, but fails terribly by instead singing about his characteristic flaws. —BazookaJoe 00:19, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
This is kind of changing the subject, since it's definitely not "fine", but what if it's "phat"? Just a thought. — It's dot com 00:27, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
What if it's phat? Then we have a big argument and place a stupid footnote on the page. O.o —BazookaJoe 00:32, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Then I won't tell if you won't. I don't want to wake the beast. — It's dot com 00:42, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Laugh Out Loud. I'll change the heading title, too. —BazookaJoe 00:46, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Well, it is "fine" but I'm not gonna bother changing it yet.

Thanx

Thank you for adding that troll to the list for me. That was my first troll. Rogue Leader / (my talk)

No probalo. On my first troll, I added it to the list the same way you did. You'll get the hang of it. —BazookaJoe 03:30, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Bazooka man, what exactly are trolls and what do they do and what can I do about them? Leav a section in my talk page if you want to help me. Thechamp 14:20, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Okay, this is annoying me now.

How about instead of just reverting it with the ubiquitous "rv", you try editing whatever the person has added so it fits your rigorous standards, or at least provding a reason once in a while. You know, just swatting away other people's thoughts and ideas without even providing them with the luxury of a reason is a good way to piss people off.

Okay, I'll do that a little more. By the way, that fact had an extra word, little punctuation, and wasn't a glitch in the first place. —BazookaJoe 22:51, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Trolled (again)

Rogue Leader, I'm not sure what you mean when you say he's patrolling his own edits. — It's dot com 03:51, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Quick answer: He's not; it's me; anonnys can't patrol. —BazookaJoe 03:51, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Joe, it's too bad one or both of us can't block this troll and others like him. (Well, that's sexist. I guess it could be a her. But I always imagine the trolls are guys. It's like the male/female ratio in prison way favors the men, doesn't it?) — It's dot com 03:55, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I thought that he was going to the recent changes page, hitting the diff button, and patroll his edits. Now I know that Annonys can't vote. Rogue Leader / (my talk)

Man, why do people always troll your user page. Its been trolled 5 times! Rogue Leader / (my talk)

He gets the brunt of it because he's the one doing most of the reverting of the damage. — It's dot com 03:56, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
I never sleep. They can't do any lasting damage. That's why they hate me. —BazookaJoe 03:58, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Shark-Tooth Bubs

Hi, BazookaJoe. Thanks again for the complement you gave me the other day. Anyway, I was going to ask if you still think we should merge the new Shark-Tooth Bubs article with the the big Bubs page. The reason I ask is that recently a lot more information has been added to the article and the most significant argument for its separation is the fact that is was a factory error/mistake.

I also want to thank you for giving me the "inspiration" to make the article since I saw the comment you made about adding a new section. I left a reply for you as well if you haven't seen it yet. One more thing, what do you think about creating one huge puppet article? —THE PAPER PREEEOW 21:56, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Um, isn't there a discussion about this on Talk:Shark-Tooth Bubs? But never mind. Shark-Tooth certainly deserves a page more than the other puppets. He is not the same as regular Bubs (Shark-Tooth has a different look and voice actor). On the other hand, the other puppets are just "real" versions of the cartoons. — It's dot com 22:00, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
The opinions of the many outweigh the opinions of the few. I'm fine with that part. As for an all-puppets page, I'm neutral at this point. —BazookaJoe 22:23, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Vacation

What?! You can't! Who will I fight the trolls with? Who will monitor the Recent changes? Just kidding. We've got 'cha covered. Have a good time. — It's dot com 02:36, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Please allow me to reciprocate the request you gave me when I left for vacation. small_logo.pngUsername-talk 02:40, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Ahhh, everything's better on a laserdisc, ya'll. Have a great time troll hunting. —BazookaJoe 02:44, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)
I am adding your page to my watchlist with this edit (why wasn't it already there?) just in case any of your old "friends" come around. — It's dot com 02:47, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Yay! — It's dot com 18:00, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I feel loved. :) —BazookaJoe 18:01, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Updates Archives Day Names

Good work Baz, for adding the names of the days to the dates in the Updates Archives section. Back when I made the backlog, It didn't really occur to me. And later when it did, I was just too lazy to do it. But glad to see sombody did. That's some top notch work there, just wanted to say thanks. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 18:48, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

What the—? How the—? Guh. I blame this on 1) logging in and jumping into the reverting while the trolling was ongoing, and 2) not expecting to have to go back 5 edits to find the last good revision. I saw the page was blank, so I reverted it to the last. That poor page. It takes so much abuse. (Or maybe this is part of my plan to destroy Wikipedia {inside joke}. You can't be too sure.)—BazookaJoe 00:11, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Clapperboard

I have to appologize for trying to limit the editing for the Clapperboard page I am working on. I guess I was just really excited about making my first page. I am truly sorry. Maybe you can just help me on some editing I do not know how to do. Thank you for the help.--Martin925 00:27, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

You don't have to feel terrible about trying to limit editing. Personally, I think the newly created page was written and formatted extremely well as far as new pages go, and didn't need a whole lot of editing done to it. Heck, you wrote the whole article and actually made the page, so you get the credit for making it. Nice work —BazookaJoe 00:30, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

How's it goin'?

Hey, Joe. Our paths have intersected in the past few weeks (I see we even fought some trolling together), but it's been like ships passing in the night. How's school? How's the job? How's Joe? — It's dot com 19:33, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Well, if it isn't my internet twin Dot com! You're so cool for asking. School and everything related to it keeps me busy. Busy, busy, busy. Work is great. Like it a lot. Myself, I'm doing fine for the most part. Always find time for a little H*R now and then. Appropriately, today I've started to develop a productive cough, so I am feeling a little ill in that area. My mother has had a nasty cold thingy for weeks, as well as everybody in West Michigan. Don't know if this cold outbreak extends all the way down to Texas, or Atlanta for that matter. But, yeah. I visited Central Michigan University two Saturdays ago. Loved checking out the meteorology department's room and hallway. There's about 50 undergrads in that program and 3 professors, which is good for me. Going to visit Grand Valley State University this Saturday to see if they can accommodate me for one year before transferring. I haven't officially decided on going to CMU, but at this point, I really can't see me going anywhere else. Well, I told you about me, now how about you? —BazookaJoe 19:53, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
I'm doing well. We don't seem to have the cold bug down here, mainly 'cause it's still pretty hot. I'm busy, but the first part of each month isn't as bad workload-wise as the last half, so that's a plus. Yesterday I drove to Arlington and back (total driving time 10 hours) to watch the Rangers conclude the 2005 season. It was bittersweet. As for the postseason, I have my second-favorite Yankees to fall back on as well as the other Texas team, the Astros. If the two should meet in the World Series, I will be really torn as to whom to root for. I can't even give a good guess.
Why would you want to go somewhere else your first year? Speaking of the weather, how is it doing? Do we still have a chance to get to Alpha? — It's dot com 20:07, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Well, the season is past its peak, but its not officially over until Nov. 30. Four more named storms are what is needed to get to Alpha, and I think it's unlikely there will be that many. It really starts to get quiet in October. Fun Fact: Stan is only the second time an S name has been used in the Atlantic, after Sebastian of 1995. —BazookaJoe 01:07, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Howdy BzJ. Regarding your recent sickness, I know how you feel. We've been having this real tough Canadian cold going around here for a few weeks now, and it just started on me. Plus to add to that it dipped below freezing for the first time this winter, so I had to scrape the frost off my winshield this morning at 6:00 am, while wrestling with a cold. Not fun. Hopefully it'll get bad enough by tomorrow or Thursday though that I'll be able to call in to work sick. In other news, Canucks's first regular season hockey game is tomorrow. Well, seya guys around. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:28, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Of course, the morning after I say that, Tropical Storm Tammy forms, breaking the record for earliest formation of a season's nineteenth tropical storm (previous record October 25, 1933). This is only the second time a T name has been given to an Atlantic storm, after Tanya of 1995. Tanya was the last named storm of 1995. —BazookaJoe 19:20, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

222.3.24.192

He's added the same redundant Fun Fact three times now. Should we give him a one hour block or a note on his talk page or something? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:01, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Definitely not an outright block. If the person persists and does not catch any reasons for reversion in the edit summaries, a note on the talk page will be necessary. —BazookaJoe 02:04, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
In either case, it's pretty funny watching the two of you battle edits. Maybe just a two minute block?  :) ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:05, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Meh. —BazookaJoe 02:14, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Help:Contents

Here we go again: Another attack on the [Help:Contents] page! Thought you'd want to know. I've already reverted it and added the offender to WikiTroll. Heimstern Läufer 00:10, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, Heimstern Läufer. —BazookaJoe 01:51, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
No prob, man. I see you've protected the page; that's great. You're my doge. Heimstern Läufer 01:52, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Spammer

The three guys are obviously all one and the same. Can we block a range or something? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:48, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't know what the range is. You can refer to Special:Ipblocklist; his IP seems to change every time he makes an edit or thereabouts. —BazookaJoe 01:50, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Oooh, swift catch with Nata96. I was watching for him, but you beat me to it. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:58, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Enter: Puzo31. Exit: Puzo31. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:03, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
GunoBob: Another one bites the dust. This is getting old. You sure there's not some kinda 'blow up whatever computer he's using' kind of option lurking somewhere in the Wiki code? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:08, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
We seem to be getting attacked by many different people. 70.25.255.180 is a Rogers Cable Inc. IP in Toronto. 24.12.3.186 is a Comcast IP in Washington (and I'm in the 24.0.0.0/12 range). We'll just keep fighting them. It's easier for us to outlast them than it is for them to outlast us. —BazookaJoe 02:12, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

name?

Is your name a referance to this one Calvin and Hobbes strip, where Calvin gets an issue of "Chewing" magazine? Calvin says it contains: "Special sugarless gum issue-choosing an artificial sweetener thats right for you. Tongue excersizes for bigger bubbles, rad fashion knee pads for walking and chewing, plus an interview with Bazooka Joe."
So... right or wrong? — talk Bubsty edits 03:13, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
It's not a reference to anything other than the plain ol' comic strip character Bazooka Joe. My internet name is almost 3 years old now, I believe. My friend and I were trying to think of something, and he came up with Bazooka Joe and it stuck. —BazookaJoe 02:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
To clarify here, we're talking about the Bazooka Joe comic that usually comes packaged with Bazooka chewing gum. — wikisig.gif Joey (talk·edits) 03:40, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Ohh... well that explains why Calvin was talkin 'bout him. I guess I ought to chew bazooka gum more often. — talk Bubsty edits 05:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Troll Count

Hello! I would just like to point out that upon looking at your history, your userpage has been trolled 22 times as opposed to 19. Thanks, TotalSpaceshipGirl3

Page deleting

They gave me a 404'd error.

Quite odd. They work perfectly fine for me, that is both HR:hrapple.swf and HR:breakbeat.swf. Also note that there is a statement there that at times the files are not available. -- Tom 01:47, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

I know it's a little late, I just wanted to wish you a happy new year, and may the troll count on your page won't rize! — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 10:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Happy new year, Mr. Cool. —BazookaJoe 15:50, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the help!

Hey, uh, I put this on my talk page but still, thanks for the help! But don't worry. It was me that deleted my sig. Bluebry muffin 14:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC)


Sweet Cuppin Cakes theme

Your revert said: "the email came before the main page. how did the music end up on the main page first?" Simple. The music wasn't in the email but was in the main page. EASports

I don't understand what you are saying. The Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Theme music is in the crazy cartoon email as well as Main Page 18. The email was released three weeks before the main page, so why did your remark say, "This is the theme song for Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, created in crazy cartoon, though the actual theme first appeared on Main Page 18"? Now, I didn't watch H*R until after May 2003, so was the music added into the email after the main page was released? —BazookaJoe 17:04, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Bkml

Who is this Bkml guy? I've never heard of him. I never even saw him on the recent changes page. He hasn't even been welcomed to the wiki yet. NO!!! PLEASE... DON'T SHOOT!!! Tampo (T/C) AND SOMEONE GET THiS FREAKiN CURSOR AWAY FROM ME!!!!! 21:53, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

He was a troll. His name was too similar to Bkmlb's. He has been permanently blocked. – The Chort 21:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
Yeah. I welcomed him and told him he needed to change his name, but he turned out to be a troll. — Has Matt? (talk) 21:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Wow.

Looks like our friend is back. I was busy explaing to BazookaJoseph that his username was too close to yours, and totally missed the attack. Haha, thanks for watching my back. I'm gonna go watch LOST now. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:59, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Has fun. Your friend, Homestar. —BazookaJoe 02:00, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Heh, constant vigilance! That's the first time I've actually been able to revert a WoW attack myself, although I've seen a few battles in the past. Maybe he noticed me, and we'll see "Heimstern Läufer ON WHEELS!" soon? Heimstern Läufer 02:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Combolations.. —BazookaJoe 02:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Umm, I am not going to make stupid suggestions like that in the future. (Geez, man, I didn't think he'd actually read what I wrote!) Well, that's twice I've been vandalized. Needless to say, I have quite a ways to go before I match your total. Heimstern Läufer 05:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Haha, sweet. You got vandalized. Maybe he's reading this right now! I've never gotten vandalized... (Well actually, my talk page did once, while my userpage was protected. Still, it's just not the same... ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:16, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
I find that actually kind of interesting. He actually read a comment and responded. Poorly, but still. Watch what you say, eh?
On the same topic (sort of), I just thought I should tell you, BazookaJoe, that I borrowed your "this page has been vandalised" box for my own page. Just so you know. I'm sure it's okay; I just have a need to tell people that sort of thing. --DorianGray
You've all been here longer than I have; tell me, do you know of this ever happening before? I mean WoW actually reading what someone wrote about him and acting accordingly. I also find it interesting that he first made me "ON WHEELS!" and then "ON WHEELS! ON WHEELS!". Well, at least it's stopped for now. I imagine we haven't seen the last of him, though. Heimstern Läufer 05:32, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Heimstern, for a little light reading, just check out the archives of Da Basement, especially this, which was right about the time it all began. — It's dot com 05:34, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, now that you mention it, I've read that when I was trying to learn who WoW was. Very interesting reading. The weirdest thing is that that conversation started the very same day I joined the Wiki. True, I was a red-name user for over a month afterward, and remained completely unaware of things like this, but it is still true that that attack started right when I signed. I guess that can only mean one thing: I must be Willy on Wheels. Or Strong Sad's adopted. Wait, those are both wrong. Ach, I must be getting confused. Better get my French homework done. And keep my eye out for ol' Willy's possible return. Heimstern Läufer 05:46, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
Our WoW(s) is/are very well informed about the HRWiki. He/they know more than you think they know. I'm certain he/they read everything we write about them. And for Dorian: I actually borrowed my troll count off of WP, so it's nothing I'm very protective of. —BazookaJoe 12:16, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcoming

Sorry 'bout that. Umm, when I read the Welcoming page, it said to welcome people even if we think they're trolls. Sorry. I'll stop for the night. Bluebry 02:04, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

OK then. Thanks for the Willy on Wheels tip!

Forever young, Chester Elegánte,

the wiki will die

the wiki will be under attack. a troll will be coming. a huge troll bot. be ready.

and how do you know this? Your Mom Gosh!
i recieved a note from my friend. you don't know him, he does not go on the wiki. just be prepared for him. he's worse than nsmc.
If you tell us who this is, we can help you. Seriously (Talk) 01:43, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, but it just doesn't make sense: you "friend" told you, yet he doesnt go on the wiki and he knows he is worse than NSMC?? Your Mom Gosh!
We will be. If he is that bad, the sysops will know what to do. Well, at least one of them. And at least I have a back-up plan. Bluebry 16:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
What, a blow-up sign that says Joey Day lives here, vandalize this place instead? I don't understand what the heck you're going to do. Seriously (Talk) 17:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Me? I can't do anything, but, unlike meatspace, sysops can block people. This "big troll" will be just like WoW, or NSMC. Trust me, the wiki is in no danger. It's just a troll. And no, that was not my back-up plan for whenever the fake troll comes. Sorry IP, but I don't believe you. It may come, but it wont cause too much, if ANY damage at all. Bluebry 17:16, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Guestbook

Can you delete my guestbook? It's useless and I dont really want it anymore. NO!!! PLEASE... DON'T SHOOT!!! Tampo (T/C) AND SOMEONE GET THiS FREAKiN CURSOR AWAY FROM ME!!!!! 15:30, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay. If you're sure you don't want it. Adios, book of guests! —BazookaJoe 15:31, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

Joe, please don't block my IP range. All you do is inconvenience other AOL users wno might use one of those addresses next, and as you can see, it does virtually nothing to stop me editing. --Yeltensic

Then why do you continue to be defiant? Why must you inconvenience the admin team? You see, it's not me who blocked that range. It's the admin team. I just pushed the button. Even though you disagree with the block, it's a big no-no in any internet community to evade blocks. It doesn't get you very far. All it does is waste your time, my time, and everyone's time. This is a small enough wiki that we can afford to block ranges for short periods of time without much consequence. You realize that new user registration is disabled because of you? How do you think people appreciate that? Indeed, the only people who have made grounds for new user registration to be disabled are the NSMC vandalbot, Willy on Wheels, and you. All you are doing is disrupting this wiki. We are tired of it. We wish that you would take your shenanigans to places where it's okay to do nothing but associate with other fans. Don't get me wrong, associating with other fans is not a forbidden practice on this wiki, but keep in mind that our main goal is to build an encyclopedia about Homestar Runner. We just wish that you serve your given time, then either come back on Friday willing to help us build this encyclopedia, or not come back at all. —BazookaJoe 03:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

WikiTroll

If I see a troll, can I report the troll, or do I have to be a sysop.

Strong Bad. I mean-Homestawe.I mean-Bluebry. I mean Bluebry 00:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Ahh. Thanks. I was watching a troll, um, troll, and wanted to report it but didn't know if I could. Bluebry 16:51, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

No

Haha, you beat me to it, I was planning exactly the same thing. Btw, thanks for reverting the troll. That's my first userpage troll! (My userpage was protected for a long time there). ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 04:19, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Combolations. You're probably going to get your user page beat to a pulp when they find out you like that. :) —BazookaJoe 04:34, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Hrwiki history page

Hi. I was just wondering why you don't think yeltensic should be on the infamous vandals list. Thanks. Seriously (Talk) 04:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I personally don't even think we should have that list. It just serves to encourage vandalism, if we give vandals special recognition after they're a significant annoyance. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 04:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Got it. Also, it might motivate him to think you guys are treating him badly again. Seriously (Talk) 04:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
At least don't add an empty section about something controversial without prior discussion. Or just don't add an empty section. —BazookaJoe 04:32, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

The thing

I dare you to vandalize my page --The thing 00:15, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

No thanks. —BazookaJoe 00:16, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Um, he's a sysop, so that would be setting a bad example, and that's a weird question. Seriously (Talk) 00:19, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
