Oh well. Welcome to RW, anyway. :) Jellyfish!If I had to choose between the continued possibility of nothing happening and of doing nothing, I would unquestionably choose the latter. 19:03, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Hi Yossie! I see you didn't have a welcome template, so I gave you one. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 00:05, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Thank you! :) --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 00:09, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

"What is the collective noun for denizens of RW?"

"RationalWikians" seems to be the most popular. I tried to coin "RatWives" a while back -- mainly for use in the Forbidden Zone -- but it didn't stick :( Jellyfish!If I had to choose between the continued possibility of nothing happening and of doing nothing, I would unquestionably choose the latter. 20:38, 30 August 2008 (EDT)

Signature

I'm pleased to lend my assistance; give me a second and I'll take a look at it for you. I've had this problem before, and it turned out to be pretty knotty back then, so I'm not sure how much use I can be.
Oh, and I'm using an auxillery account because I just blocked myself for five days. I have legendary powers of poor timing. Marginally Less Chaos!Audacity! 06:39, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

Thank you muchly, erstwhile Jellyfish. ;) --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta
I removed a couple of carriage returns from inside the Choose template (which has occassionally worked for me even though it's completely illogical). Can you try your sig with the date so I can see the effect? Marginally Less Chaos!Audacity! 07:22, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
I do believe I can. --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 07:24, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
Hmmm...it didn't like it, then it did, then it didn't...it was wrong on the preview, but correct when I actually posted. Then it was wrong when I added the strike-through to the "darn"...wtf? --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta
HMMM...seems like it doesn't like certain variations of the text. It's okay when it displays the "upside down" text, but not when it displays the "speak, memory" one...hmmmmmmm.... --Y
I thought I had it then -- you'd arranged your talk page link so that the font tags were both inside and outside the link code (if that explanation makes any sense). However, tidying that up doesn't seem to have fixed it. Let me try something else... Marginally Less Chaos!Audacity! 07:37, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
Yes, that does make sense...I also tried shuffling some stuff, but it came to nothing. But somehow the upside down one works...what method lies in this madness?! Anyway, I ought to go to bed (it totally isn't 4:30am here...nope, not even CLOSE), but thank you for your continued help! I'll see if things have improved tomorrow morning. --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta
Alright, I'll see you later then. I think I might have an idea what's causing it... Marginally Less Chaos!Audacity! 07:46, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

Welcome to the Dollhouse! You're one of my favorite fictional characters. ħumanUser talk:Human 00:12, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Dammit!

When I saw "Yossarian" I thought "Major Major Major Major" would be a perfect username for somewhere, but you beat me to it. Maybe "Doc Daneeka" then. CorryI've made a huge mistake. 07:08, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

Demotion

I have a confession to make, dear Yossie: I have done something unspeakably horrible; I made you a sysop.

I'd give you bucket and mop, but we have a glut of floor cleaners already. Would you like some Lysol cleaner? Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 20:09, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

Damn you to the bowels of hell, good sir! Also, I use Mr. Clean. I assume this position comes with a raise. Right? --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 05:00, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
(Edit conflict, Hulk SMASH) It's double what you got before. Also, don't only conservapedia sysops assume the position? Totnesmartin 05:09, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
They do indeed. But it's missionary and only twice a month. --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 05:22, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
Yes, but it's in the form of, uh, intangible benefits. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 05:05, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
So, like, metafits? --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 05:07, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
Yah! Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 05:11, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
Sweet. --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 05:22, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

^_^

I liked "People George" as well, actually. I suppose your fingers just really wanted to type the "eo" bit from George. They got a little carried away :) New3.pngPink(Astronomy Domine) 07:26, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

My enthusiasm for George is understandably great! I kinda like it, too, actually. Maybe "People George" is his revolutionary nom de guerre. He is, after all, a man of the purple. --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 07:31, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

Email

Would you please enable your email? I have a Very Important Message to send you. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 04:07, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

A VIM! Of course! --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 04:16, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
I am enabled, email away. --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 04:22, 8 October 2008 (EDT)Hopefully it will work...the reason it didn't work before was because I had a comma instead of a period in it...:P
Good, good. Prepare to be spammed!  : ) Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 04:32, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

Oh, I know. I just want it to be a little hidden scroll over text thing, if that makes any sense. --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 04:42, 13 January 2009 (EST)

Crat!

Dear Yossarian,

It is my sincere regret to inform you that you have been further demoted to the rank of Bureaucrat. As such, you are encouraged to read the guide, and again, I have pity on you.

Warm regards

ĴάΛäšςǍ₰ Who said anything about fair?!

MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL, JAVA'S CAP IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?! YOU SHALL RUE THE DAY, MONSIEUR! RUE. THE. DAY.
My sincerest thanks. --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 14:29, 14 February 2009 (EST)

You're clueless

I've switched in the new version of teh a-fly's quote machine.

"Yossie" (sounds like another self-centered liberal, like Obama), I'm not going to spend hours debating the logic and obvious evidence here. I looked at your contributions and you deny that Obama is a Muslim, which is undeniable, so I'm confident you're not here to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. You also refuse to accept that capitalizing Hell reduces depression. In sum, there's nothing special about evolutionary theories that requires anything more than a good grade school education to understand (and reject). And as to your claim you don't understand my statement about how teachers unions don't teach students how to read, I suggest you try harder. Help yourself by opening your mind, before it's too late.--Aschlafly 21:51, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

That was a test.--Kriss AkabusiAAAAWOOOOGAAAR!!1 16:17, 20 February 2009 (EST)

Unfortunately the quote machine is out of date. Teh Schlafurher now signs himself "Andy Schlafly". Redchuck.gif ГенгисIs the Pope a Catholic? 16:22, 20 February 2009 (EST)
Excellent! Step one in the construction of Schlafsimile is complete! --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 16:24, 20 February 2009 (EST)

Come on down!

УОЅЅДЯЇДИ, you are the next contestant on The Conservapedia Game Show! --Irrational Atheist 14:06, 8 March 2009 (EDT)

I see everything twice!

Catch 22 is a great book, finished it the other day. My favourite character by far was the chaplain funnily enough. The scene where the Colonel compares the plum tomatoe to a young girls breasts was priceless! MarcusCicero 17:43, 3 April 2009 (EDT)

I read it when I was 13, and it pretty much changed my outlook on life. I've read it four times, in and out of order (so you can see why my handle would be appropriate, lol). My favourite bit is Clevinger's trial, just for sheer laughs. I'd have to read it again to tell you other favourite bits, but that one has always stood out for me. Also the beuatiful description of how much effort Yossarian put into not constructing the officer's club. --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 19:47, 3 April 2009 (EDT)

Emblems

Howd'you like the national bird, flower & saint? ToastToastand marmite 03:07, 10 April 2009 (EDT)

I thought it was brilliant, especially the saint. What did you think of "The Suspiciously Benign Theocracy"? :) --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 03:13, 10 April 2009 (EDT)
At the risk of sounding like a Mutual Admiration Society, Excellent! ToastToastand marmite
(I liked the Booby best) ToastToastand marmite
and you no doubt noticed the "Chief Archivist". ToastToastand marmite 04:03, 10 April 2009 (EDT)
I did indeed! --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 06:26, 10 April 2009 (EDT)

What seems to be the problem

with your signature? -- Nx / talk 07:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh, it was treating the time stamp as a line break, thus causing all sorts of insanity. Now it won't let me have the <choose> tag without doing that... :'( --Purple George!YossieSpring in Fialta 08:01, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
