Welcome to the colossal house of apes, Toast! Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:52, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I hope you are lightly browned, and not burnt. : ) Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 17:52, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I'm well buttered & coated in an exotic orange preserve, thank you. Toast 18:10, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Ooh! Marmalade! Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:38, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Sorry, I erred, it's actually lemon not orange - is that still marmalade? Toast 18:42, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I have no idea. I didn't know anyone made lemon jam. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 18:53, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Is it Lemon Curd, or Lemon Marmalade, or some form of Lemon Preserve? Anyway, Welcome to the Dollhouse! ħuman 23:41, 28 October 2008 (EDT)

History

Must all men be doomed by their past? By man's judgement? MarcusCicero 17:13, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

When you appear, making rather snide commments (SusanG) and self-laudatory ones (Human) after an absence where you had been roundly belabored for exactly the same sort of thing, then yes, I think so. You're a historian of sorts, aren;t you - so you should approve,

TOAST

^{and butter} 17:18, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

You weren't there when the whole thing blew up originally, so I would suppose from reading the responses on my page you might come up with this assumption. Though it does seem a tad assuming for someone just in the door to make such pontifications. (And yes, I am a historion - of sorts) MarcusCicero 17:32, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

I was lurking - but admittedly not paying all that much attention. Why can't you be nice about people? Then they might be nice about you?

TOAST

^{and butter} 17:41, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

I am nice to people. But online I suffer from 'internet-schizophrenia', a common ailment where internet users tend to adopt wholely different personalities when online. MarcusCicero 17:58, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

Theory of evolution

Hi I had to roll back what you did as you seem to have doubled the pages size. Of you want get rid of the red links, create an article if appropriate to RationalWiki, use template:wpl to send someone to Wikipedia or template:cpl to send them to Conservapeida. The latter two can be done by changing [[name|long incoherent text by Ken]] to {{cpl|name|long incoherent text by Ken}} and it won't change the formatting of the article. - User $\scriptstyle 4\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }(-1)^{n}(2n+1)^{-1}$ 06:01, 4 November 2008 (EST)

I seem to have pasted my revised copy as well as the original as opposed to replacing the original, sorry

Can I check them out on teh UtUbez? If you hate them, I am curious, they might be good... ħuman 23:41, 23 December 2008 (EST)

The Jonas brothers totally suck. You could not pay me enough to watch/listen to them. (side note to Toast, sorry to bring this up on your user page a month later, but I couldn't pass up commenting on the (sucky) Jonas brothers) Refugee^{talk page} 14:01, 22 January 2009 (EST)

Community Standards

In an effort to update our sometimes too-vague and too-often ignored current Community Standards, I drafted a possible update of them. The draft can be found here. I invite you, and the rest of the site, to discuss this important issue. Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 04:36, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Apologies

Sorry about the 30 seconds. I hadn't read your recent userpage updates. Won't happen again. EternalCritic 13:34, 10 January 2009 (EST)

I did read your userpage and, sorry to say, I Ho! Ho! on purpose but I have been away for awhile and just getting my stride back. Ho Ho Ho! Now, please excuse me because some teens are laughing in the street and I cant have that......Flaming youth Ace McWicked^{The Liquid Room} 04:41, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Sorry, for snapping, Ace. I'd just made a rather nice (I thought) & fairly complex Edit on WIGO talk & had to redo it, thereby losing the spontaneity which had been there. The annoyance was temporary. Toast 04:46, 11 January 2009 (EST)

(The user page comment is really aimed at a silly little cur) Toast 04:49, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Never mind, we are all friends here. Now, bed for me - I have been away for many moons but now I am all hopped up on whisky and I have work tomorrow for the first time in weeks. See ya soon. Ho ho ho. Ace McWicked^{The Liquid Room} 04:54, 11 January 2009 (EST)

You are lucky, living in NZ. It looks beautiful & of course you've got Hobbiton. Toast 04:58, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Lucky? LUCKY!? Goddamnit Toast! This country is overrun with liberals! I can hear them in the walls at night, breathing liberal lies into my dreams. Those bastards wont let me carry a largely defensive weapon of gun around and they are think with the homosexual agenda. However, the scenery is amazing.

Blocks

What have you got against joke blocks? It takes 5 seconds to undo. Phantom Hoover 15:37, 15 January 2009 (EST)

They are childish &, when they happen when I'm in the middle of a complex edit, fucking annoying, alright?  ^{(with butter!)} _{talk to Toast} 01:20, 16 January 2009 (EST)

I have to agree with Toast joke blocks are like yo mamma jokes, they are only funny if they come from someone you get along with, if they are from someone you are in the middle of having a disagreement with they are annoying. - User $\scriptstyle (6\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }n^{-2})^{1/2}$ 01:51, 16 January 2009 (EST)

I agree with Teh Crumpet here, a 3 second block is no big deal, anything longer can create a big waste of time - and lost work at worst. Still, I am not against them - as long used in the "yo mamma" fashion, not the "prick up your ears" fashion. ħuman 21:44, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Subpage

Please use the preview button when editing that subpage of yours. You're almost as bad as Ken. Phantom Hoover 04:51, 17 January 2009 (EST)

You can't use the preview button when trying a template! Alright????  ^(Crumpets) _and butter 04:53, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Why? Phantom Hoover 05:00, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Because, Oh vacuum cleaner of little brain, the template won't work until it's been saved (so every amendment has to be saved before its effect can be seen). alright? ^(Crumpets) _and butter 05:03, 17 January 2009 (EST)

La Crumpet is Teh Correct. It's one pain when working on any transcluded stuff. ħuman 21:41, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Sandbox fix (User:Toast/sandbox1 and Template:Help01)

I think I fixed your Sandbox problem there. Only stumbled over it now because I wanted to know what else linked to some non-existent template (the one included in the Cquote documentation). For reference, the issue was with how the MediaWiki software handles wikitables: It can be really idiotic with the "The {| part must be in a new line" rule. Dunno if the issue is still relevant, but I just can't resist trying to fix something that looks odd. :) --Sid 20:48, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Delayed response: Thanks Sid - it works well now.  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 05:02, 22 January 2009 (EST)

Wingnuterry

I don't that's the template you really want - the articles you've added it to are lucid, it's their subjects that are wingnuts. Don't we have a banner type thing that proclaims that, like the pseudoscience one? ħuman 19:49, 22 January 2009 (EST)

Dunno - that's what I was looking for & couldn't find - I only did it to annoy CUR anyhoo.  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 19:52, 22 January 2009 (EST)

in passing: How d'you like my instruction boxes in the template list?  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 19:55, 22 January 2009 (EST)

You succeeded, but surely that barrel is too small for that fish? The boxes look good - they don't slow down the loading speed much, do they? ħuman 20:26, 22 January 2009 (EST)

CUR: it's mainly that he seems to be our token wingnut & his concerns are occupying soooo much of our attention. Boxes: don't think they do: there's not that many really.  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 20:34, 22 January 2009 (EST)

I am nobody's wingnut. Feeling a certain does not make me a wingnut. Bit odd, yes. Crazy, no. I feel a certain way- and only I can tell myself how I feel. --"ConservapediaUndergroundResistor^{feline fanatic} 18:08, 24 January 2009 (EST)

How about modifying this? Can replace star with this (if talented with graphics can mask pictue so he's peering thru cross?) Due to circs can't do much graphics wize myself @ the moment. (would also be nice if had flagpole & rope @ hoist side & was waving in breeze.) Sorry - I'm fed up & whiney. I'll shut up now.  ^(Toast) _{and marmalade} 05:55, 23 January 2009 (EST)

One quick point, I recognised that face instantly as Uncle Joe Stalin. Oh, and the brackets are sort of the universal symbol for a wiki. So in context at that SR of CP article, it ought to be fairly clear? JHMO, of course. ħuman 16:09, 24 January 2009 (EST)

Hmmm...I do like Uncle Joe between the brackets, but I quite like the North Korean flag just because it's a bit more interesting visually (and it's more common for us to compare Conservapedia to the aforementioned Korea). Also, I'd rather not use the Che Schlafly image again. Weeeell, I'll go back to the drawing board and see what inspires me. :) --Yossie^{Spring in Fialta} 01:02, 26 January 2009 (EST)

Are you, by any chance, Susan? RWW seem to think so. Phantom Hoover 14:20, 24 January 2009 (EST)

I've also wondered that - a few clues are getting dropped. That's the trouble with a small wiki - we all get to know each other's editing styles and favourite places. Careful now, Toast. Yours truly^{Dear Sir}and am I giving away too much?17:00, 24 January 2009 (EST)
