I edited but broked'd the "shrinking rapidly" thing...-αmεσ (!) 22:40, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Are you sure? I think we should just drop the weighting, by the way. Let them all be equal in the eyes of their Creators. humanbe in 22:44, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
I saw the "This site is" one come up, but that's all it said. I switched it to have those be two completely separate slogans. --jtltalk 22:51, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
It never worked, maybe you can't nest 'em. We both fixed it the same way though, I think. And I split the HP silliness. I mean, really! How about a spoiler or two for "Left Behind"? humanbe in 22:54, 9 July 2007 (CDT)


Contents

[edit] Left Behind

  • LB Spoiler: You do not get raptured!
  • LB Spoiler: I got raptured, you didn't!
  • LB Spoiler: You get raptured by Allah! humanbe in 22:54, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
  • LB Spoiler: Buck isn't really a very good reporter.
  • LB Spoiler: Carpathia is the good guy.--jtltalk 22:59, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
Personally, I'd like to get rid of all the "inside" jokes. I have no idea what those last two mean (and never will). One HP one is sorta OK, especially if its a "who killed" thing, but they get old fast. humanbe in 23:04, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
  • LB Spoiler: You get raptured, I get your SUV!
  • Left Behind Spoiler: No Child! (Bad President!) humanbe in 23:04, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
The Buck one isn't very funny. Carpathia, if I have his name right, is the antichrist / world dictator character. --jtltalk 23:18, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
It's pretty funny for me, as I've been reading Slacktivist's Left Behind deconstruction, which makes it clear that Buck's being The Greatest Investigative Reporter of All Time is what we call in the trade an Informed Ability. (Or maybe his bungling IS the writers' idea of good reporting. What a scary thought.) --Gulik 13:06, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Misc New Ones

"Abiogenesis means not having to pay for dinner"--PalMD-Goatspeed! 23:38, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Any takers?
I don't "get it" completely yet, Doc. You mean you used to buy dinner to sleep with chemical stew under ultraviolet and now you don't? humanbe in 23:43, 9 July 2007 (CDT)
I was never a good humorist.--PalMD-Goatspeed! 23:45, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

"How can we fix it?
You just keep hitting 'reload' until it fixes itself.
At least, that's what I just did."

from the forum. humanbe in 23:43, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Can I put on "Home of the great low-flow toilet conspiracy," or is that too private joke/mean to HeartoG?ŠтΈṜȳŁЁand...? 09:07, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
Unm, conspiracy? How about the home of distortions and lies in honor of Sterile? Or is that just too mean?
Now, now, be nice in front of the strangers ;) I'd "vote" for "Home of the Great Communist Consensus Swarm" - except that it would be a tiny little in-joke. Let's keep the in-jokes everywhere else on the site, the way they are, and at least let the front door to our house (Hi Andy!) look presentable. And as far as the nastiness, I know we all have trouble doing so, but we have to 1. try not to let perceived nastiness get under our skins, and 2. try to channel what might get nasty into something slightly more productive (out of consideration for anyone else having to deal with it). Just my 0.02, of course. humanbe in 11:33, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
  • RationalWiki, The 'other' good book!
  • Equipping this adds +10 to intelligence.

hmmm? any good?--TheThinkingMan 18:38, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

  • Where balaclavas are de rigeur!
  • The leukocyte of internet terrorist cells!

Genghis Khant 14:48, 6 November 2007 (EST)

I liked the leukocyte one, you should put it back in, at least for a while. humanUser talk:Human 14:55, 6 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Protection

If we start to get vandals, this might be a target. Never had a problem yet with our mainpage stuff, but, to quote Mad Eye Moody...

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!-αmεσ (!) 23:45, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Considering that nothing on the main page is protected and hasn't been attacked yet, AFAIK... at least it's on all our watch lists now. humanbe in 23:47, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Exactly what I meant.-αmεσ (!) 23:49, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

Man, are you guys watching the team competition? It's better than rodeo! I bin writing up the play-by-play. I haven't had this much fun on CP since I discovered you didn't have to provide sources when writing articles! humanbe in 23:57, 9 July 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Bible spoilers

  • Bible spoiler: Eve eats the apple.
  • Bible spoiler: Jesus dies, but not really.
  • Bible spoiler: John's all hopped out on shrooms again.
  • Bible spoiler: Job has a lousy day.

--jtltalk 02:29, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

  • Bible spoiler: The Jews get out of Egypt.
  • Bible spoiler: Abraham gives into the voice in his head.
  • Citizen Kane spoiler: Rosebud is his sled.
  • Alternatively, Rosebud is his goat.

--Thunderkatz 08:06, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

  • "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"
  • Bible Spoiler: It all blows up at the end.
  • Bible Spoiler: Paul was the anthrax mailer!

-- humanbe in 13:43, 10 July 2007 (CDT)

  • Bible Spoiler: Jesus dies on page 681! The AlienSick Freak!!! 17:49, 24 October 2007 (EDT)
    • Guess what? He comes back to life on page 683!!! Woo, SciFi! humanUser talk:Human 18:14, 24 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Ache west-churn

Is anyone allowed to edit this? Totnesmartin 17:45, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Yes. Locke User is Vandal/sysop Always Watching...... 17:50, 4 November 2007 (EST)
Only if you edit it well. But, yes, feel free. Got a gem you want to add? humanUser talk:Human 17:52, 4 November 2007 (EST)
...I might! I'll have to give it a bit of a think first. Don't want any off-the-cuff boring ones creeping in. Totnesmartin 17:53, 4 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] Brain storm

Or farts?

This just in: Acne causes masturbation!
Pay no attention to that man behind that curtain!
More proof of ID: "Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven."
Headline found at Jerusalem dig: "Joesph says, 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman...Miss [hole in manuscript].'"
More than just another pretty wiki.
Woobusters
Personally I think No 4 is V clever (referencing the "kissing Mary Magdalene on the mouth" thing). Totnesmartin 14:12, 6 November 2007 (EST)
I like #'s 2 and 5. 4 is funny, but a bit long for the space it has to cram into. Maybe it could be part of a snarticle somewhere? Like, as a lead to the bible versions article? humanUser talk:Human 14:19, 6 November 2007 (EST)
I don't get #2. Is that some sort of Hamlet reference, or...? --AKjeldsenGodspeed! 14:29, 6 November 2007 (EST)
WOO, actually. As in "of Oz". CЯacke® 18:27, 6 November 2007 (EST) you Danes are soooo sheltered
He had to be kidding. Right? It's a Pink Floyd reference, of course. humanUser talk:Human 18:53, 6 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] caveat emptorium

what was the matter with that slogan? humanUser talk:Human 13:21, 7 November 2007 (EST)

It doenst even make sense. Elassint Throw things at me 13:23, 7 November 2007 (EST)
Why not? humanUser talk:Human 13:24, 7 November 2007 (EST)

I LOVE caveat emptorium! Immediately reinstitute this excellent slogan! DogP 19:06, 4 December 2007 (EST)

I concur. Although it should be caveat emporium. If you care about these things. --AKjeldsenGodspeed! 19:12, 4 December 2007 (EST)

UH...no That's the whole point. DogP 19:13, 4 December 2007 (EST)

In that case, I am afraid I have missed the point entirely. :-( --AKjeldsenGodspeed! 19:15, 4 December 2007 (EST)
I put an aversion of it back in. humanUser talk:Human 19:29, 4 December 2007 (EST)

I am a fan of caveat emptorium, yet it has been removed again! Damn these slogan controversies! DogP 20:49, 6 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] More! More!

Navigating the minefield of fact without a compass

Navigating the fishpond of internet loonies without a bicycle.

Adding bacon to the internet knowledgebase

Yum, bacon!

Over old management, kan haz cheeseburger.

I'll add them when I get a chance. Sloganwoz 19:29, 4 December 2007 (EST)


[edit] My slogan

We need an anti-racist slogan; we don't need to pander to Jeb and his trolls. Sheep 21:59, 4 December 2007 (EST)

Well, I haven't seen anyone pandering to them around here...but it needs to be good, and make sense. Researcher 22:01, 4 December 2007 (EST)
What was wrong with it? Sheep 22:02, 4 December 2007 (EST)

Think up a good one and put it here first - like it says on the template! Susanpurrrrr ... 22:04, 4 December 2007 (EST)

Again, what's wrong with it? Sheep 22:06, 4 December 2007 (EST)
"We can refute creation better than Prussian Blue can sing" Firstly, no one here is trying to refute creation, just creationism. Secondly, either we're not that good (because PB can't sing well), or we rock (and thus PB sings pretty good), neither of which I want to put up there. Researcher 22:07, 4 December 2007 (EST)
Actually, even if you have lousy ways of refuting creationism, you can do so better than they can sing, thus meaning that we aren't really that good, which we at RW aren't Sheep 22:09, 4 December 2007 (EST)
Maybe it's mentioning the group at all? Try it maybe with oh, I dunno what's BIG with CЯacke®'s..Lynyrd Skynyrd, perhaps?
Actually, Lynyrd Skynyrd is also racist, just a lot better at hiding it. However, either way, why do we want our slogan to say "We suck"?? Researcher 22:14, 4 December 2007 (EST)
Because you do...I mean, uh...because you ARE better than racist trash bands, even if you do suck. Sheep 22:15, 4 December 2007 (EST)

Thanks, but no thanks. Researcher 22:24, 4 December 2007 (EST)

Slogan fail. Bad Sheeep, no goat. humanUser talk:Human 22:25, 4 December 2007 (EST)

[edit] you guys crack me up

I think RATIONALWIKI is a pretty cool guy, Eh debunks the anti-science movement AND DOESN'T AFRAID OF ANYTHING

This is hilarious for reasons I cannot explain. Or at least it is at 12am. Thanks for making me wake up the entire house... Alecwh 02:12, 16 December 2008 (EST)

I think you can thank a parodist/wandal for that one. As I recall, it's a direct quote. --JeevesMkII 02:14, 16 December 2008 (EST)

[edit] Now with less Hellfire!

Shouldn't it be "hellfire"? We are meant to be liberals after all. Totnesmartin 11:28, 7 February 2009 (EST)

Yes. ħumanUser talk:Human 23:29, 7 February 2009 (EST)

[edit] Oops

Just did a CUR - added something and asked permission afterwards :( so, um, is "this site is evolving rapidly" ok or not? (slinks off down the pub shops) Totnesmartin 13:11, 25 February 2009 (EST)

Hehe, seems fine to me. ħumanUser talk:Human 19:54, 25 February 2009 (EST)
I just added "10 million in pageviews and 2 hundred in mental problems by its contributors! " hope it is cool. - User \pi 21:53, 24 March 2009 (EDT)
Hehe, it would be hard for me to complain, after adding it to the chalkboard thing and all. ħumanUser talk:Human 22:07, 24 March 2009 (EDT)
Isn't 200 a little low? We have more than 250 sysops and some of us have more that one metal problem. - User \pi 22:17, 24 March 2009 (EDT)
My first draft said "over" in front of both numbers, but then I decided to copy Schlafly's format exactly. Anyway, chances are that 50 of the sysops are socks. Let's face it, any of us could be five new sysops in three days. Feel free to pick a better number if you like, though! (57? 42? 314?) ħumanUser talk:Human 22:41, 24 March 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Lame new one

is "a storehouse of science" or something like that too lame to go in? Totnesmartin 09:47, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

"a storehouse of science" -> SS -> MOAR HITLER Neveruse513 10:23, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

Time educated Hoover! also likes this. 18:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
I wouldn't mind seeing that at a fairly low weight setting. It's funny, but a bit arcane. Don't forget the wackycaps. ħumanUser talk:Human 23:32, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
a Whorehouse of Knowledge? Redchuck.gif ГенгисRationalWiki GOLD member 18:00, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion for new addition

[edit] Source for Hot, Science, Rationalwiki

I've captured a few of the funnier edits to cp:Help:Practice Page, including the inspiration for our slogan. Didn't really know where to put these, so here you are:

Hot. Science. RationalWiki!

lemon party, tub girl RationalWiki

-- Nx / talk 19:49, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Awesome. As much as I lurv Andy for making up an excellent slogan for us, I loathe him for making me find out what lemon party and tub girl mean. ħumanUser talk:Human 20:01, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] IntegerWikis

I've been a member of this site for almost a year, and I still laugh whenever I see that one. Many thanks to whoever came up with it. Wehpudicabok 04:59, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Me too, it's my favorite after Hot. Science. Anyway, now that the version that is on the RC and WL pages is "stripped", should we add "RationalWiki:" (blah)? ħumanUser talk:Human 04:21, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] This just in

IntegerWiki! Now we need to find another one and compare their proportions. SophieWilder 17:20, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Up too early

...but here's one I thought of yesterday: "Someone is right on the internet." y/n? Totnesmartin (talk) 07:33, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Close... ħumanUser talk:Human 08:45, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Slogan from the Zeugloden Messages Chat Board...

"Going over to RW is like watching your kid play happily in the toilet after someone used it and forgot to flush."--Karajou. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 02:09, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I endorse this slogan. - π 02:24, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Meh, it doesn't shift my buckles... partly because it's unciteable... unlike PJR's "vile cesspit" or whatever riff that we stuffed into wiki index. ħumanUser talk:Human 05:20, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Chief proofreader for Conservapedia

I removed "Chief proofreader for Conservapedia" as this really no longer the case.  Lily Inspirate me. 13:17, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Good for you. ТyNot updated with a witty slogan this week 16:35, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

[edit] In Soviet Russia, this site rapidly grows you!

OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD!!!!!!!!!!!! SophieWilder 11:42, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, we can do better than that. Evil fascistoh noez 12:13, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
I wouldn't mind redoing a lot of these. Perhaps balance out the probabilities a bit more and updating it, getting rid of old and worn stuff and adding in a bit of the new. Scarlet A.pngnarchistModerator 12:41, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Please! Evil fascistoh noez 12:42, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Oh please do. SophieWilder 21:25, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit] So there

"Cleaning up toxic waste spills in the waterways of public discourse." - David Gerard (talk) 10:22, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

"When isolated chemicals are the problem, science is the solution!" I get the pun (use science to solve isolated chemicals, har di har har), but I don't get the slogan... When are isolated chemicals the problem, as related to RW's mission? Nullahnung (talk) 09:06, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Just a science pun. If you don't think it's worth keeping feel free to revert. (Honestly I don't get how some of these are on mission anyway... the "now we are a family again" one particularly baffles me...) Also, I can't see it no matter how many times I refresh RC. Sometimes the template shows up blank though. Did I screw something up in the coding? Wehpudicabok [話] [変] 09:08, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Never mind, I finally saw it. Probably just my browser cache being weird. Wehpudicabok [話] [変] 09:10, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
I've just managed to twist my brain around, so that the slogan doesn't need to relate to the site much in my opinion, so ... good slogan! Nullahnung (talk) 09:12, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
