Thunkful and editing

So I am not sure if anyone else has noticed the user Thunkful (http://www.conservapedia.com/Special:Contributions/Thunkful) but he has been editing articles for a little bit on CP, and has started to ask questions about why things aren't referenced in articles and even disagreeing with there whole bible project since they aren't actually translating it but instead giving it there own POV (obvious to most). I sense there will be a disagreement and in the end Thunkful being called a liberal and to open his mind. Here are the talk pages to view the comments so far.

Various parts of Mark and I think Mark 14 is one of them. I didn't think he would last when I noticed he was asking too many questions and now he is disagreeing with Assfly. I give him another week and then he will be banned for disagreeing and being too liberal for them. Quazywabbit (talk) 19:54, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice work ending a potentially productive troll's career there, QW. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:54, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

I take strong exception to the suggestion that QuazyWabbit (or others who do similar things) has harmed anything by revealing, or speculating on, the actions of "Thunkful". We are directed "not [to] expose parody or unnoticed cp vandalism", but no comment about contemporary edits can possibly be construed as "exposing" or referring to "unnoticed" events. The only unnoticed parody or vandalism is from long ago. (And there's plenty of it that I, for one, am keeping secret.) But these days, every edit is scrutinized carefully by goons sysops.
Virtually all contemporary edits, other than stupid vandalism or the blatherings of Ken and Rob, is either an attempt to talk sense or is transparent sycophancy or just jerking people around. No one is serious any more. 140 account creations have occurred since Thunkful. Almost all of them were plain vandals or people who came to argue. A few are IMHO transparent sycophants signing up for Andy's "educational courses". Almost all have been blocked. The others have been warned or had their comments replied to by sysops. Nothing passes under Andy's/Jacob's/Terry's/Brian's radar. Except common sense. Gauss (talk) 15:13, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Cripes, I was only joking, my dear. You think I really care about who edits on CP? ħumanUser talk:Human 07:55, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
I don't think Thunkful was a parodist: he'd have chosen a more CP friendly name, for starters. He read genuine to me - but Poe's law - who knows? 15:21, 20 June 2010 (UTC) SusanG Toast
I resemble that, Gauss. I signed up for an upcoming Andy "course" and I'm not a transparent sycophant. Quite the opposite. I have not one shred of respect for the man nor will I pretend. Let's see how long I last. ÑR/Señor Admin/Hablar 20:28, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
I wouldn't say "nothing" passes under their radar, Gauss. I saw some gems a couple of weeks ago. Junggai (talk) 07:42, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Congrats! You have a sharper eye than I do. Gauss (talk) 15:16, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Oh! Are Thunkful and Editing reuniting? Brian Thunkful and David Editing were truly one of the best comic duos of the 1970s. DickTurpis (talk) 15:03, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Huge waves of pro-life activity!

Oh my God! Conservapedia has just LEARNED that HUGE waves of pro-life activity MAY be forming on the Internet! This is epochal! Momentous! Prodigious! And just look at that picture of a huge wave, which may very well be heading towards all anti-life activists on the planet to wipe them out forever! Let's analyze the language a bit:

LEARNED

What Conservapedia wants it to mean : "We have a highly reliable inside source for this information, but it's too early to divulge it at the moment."
What it actually means : "I just pulled it out of my ass because it sounds nice."

MAY BE FORMING / COULD ROLL ACROSS THE INTERNET

What Conservapedia wants it to mean : "It's almost sure, like 96.4% sure, which is even higher than mathematical certainty!"
What it actually means : "Well, technically they COULD be forming, couldn't they? If you can't accept the possibility that they may be forming, open your mind."

PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS

What Conservapedia wants it to mean : "This is gonna be so HUGE! Just wait and see! By the way, have you seen the picture of those HUGE waves yet?"
What it actually means : "Please, keep visiting Conservapedia! We need it for our internet traffic stats!"

IN ADDITION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GET INVOLVED IN THE CONSERVAPEDIA ANTI-ABORTION PROJECT

What Conservapedia wants it to mean : "You don't want to be found on the wrong side when those HUGE waves come crashing down on all anti-lifers, do you?"
What it actually means : "Ok, I put this sham of a feature article on the front page just to get one or two guys to join my pet project. Please?"

Scraping the barrel

I see Karajerk is stuck in his "everything the Dems do is wrong" rut again. I love how the oil spill is the Dem's fault (Drill, baby, drill!), and I'm not sure what "The Gre Depress" is. Lol... and somehow the Branch davidians are the Dem's fault? Not to mention he just copy/pasted (but then he's so good at that!) his old cartoon on the new one. And is "screwing" a suitable word on the front page of a family friendly blog? Bonus points to him for highlighting Kosovo, whilst ignoring Grenada, Haiti, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia... --PsyGremlin講話 10:23, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Screwing maybe a family-friendly word -> "Start by screwing this piece into that piece", perhaps? [[User:K61824|]][[User_talk:K61824|]] 10:50, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Weren't the biggest falls of The Great Depression during Herbert Hoover's watch, and the recovery during FDRs? and excuse this ignorant limey, but IIRC, Hover was a Republican and FDR a Democrat? CS Miller (talk) 11:07, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Ah but don't forget, it was FDR's fault that it went on so long (well according to Rob and his New Ordeal crap). Actually, I wonder how many financial crises have arisen during a Rep term. Savings & Loan, Credit crunch are two that come to mind. --PsyGremlinSpeak! 11:26, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
The Civil War? WTF?? 13:59, 20 June 2010 (UTC) SusanG Toast
The slavery-supporting Dems "politely removed" themselves from the Union to start the Civil War.

New parable

[1] ħumanUser talk:Human 00:41, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Great new parable (nevermind that the parable describes a line drive while the title is "The Fly Ball"), I thought girls playing sports was a bad idea, Andy. DickTurpis (talk) 19:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

What the hell is so conservative about that story? HoorayForSodomy (talk) 19:23, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
It's part of the standard trope that everything good is conservative and everything that Andy doesn't like is liberal. I'm sure that he would attribute a nice, sunny day to conservative values when he gets an ingrown toenail he finds a way to blame liberals. Corry (talk) 19:27, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
I think the conservative message is that putting women in their place makes everything work out. -Lardashe
No, I think the conservative message there is 'assume anyone who has any kind of disability can't do ANYTHING. That way, if they manage to do something that would otherwise be fairly commonplace, it will give you an excuse to patronisingly congratulate them for pulling off such a miracle.' 92.11.0.196 (talk) 21:44, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Well put. Keegscee (talk) 21:49, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
I think that the message (which is only "conservative" if you believe that conservative=good) is: Give someone a shot, and maybe he'll surprise you. Of course, that sentiment is a laugh riot coming from Andy. Colonel of Squirrels白山羊不山羊。商讨。 21:52, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Even the term 'aerobics' is conservative. --Night Jaguar (talk) 22:24, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Headdesk, facepalm, etc., etc. Repeatedly. It's been a while since I've read CP very much, and I think I see why I reduced my exposure. This simply is not good for my blood pressure or my sanity. Corry (talk) 00:09, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Andy's always at his best on Sundays. What on earth is conservative about that parable? They put an affirmative-action player in right field and they did well? ħumanUser talk:Human 00:44, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

[ud] Not so much a parable as the usual condescending shite "and her ever-present smile glowed even wider" about the differently-abled. Wasn't there something where Andy called the paralympics a waste of time? 82.23.208.15 (talk) 02:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I think the conservative parables article may be my favorite article. It's such a wonderful collection of obviously made up feel good nonsense trying to drive home some point, tho if you look a bit closer it becomes unclear what the specific point is actually supposed to be. I do miss 2 of my favorite stories on there tho, the story of the militant liberal atheist professor who is defeated by God's chalk and Einstein humiliates atheists. That last story's final line just cracks me up, it's such a desperate and ridiculous claim to authority that it seems non sequitur. I would like to add it to each of CP's parables: "The name of the girl with cerebral palsy - Albert Einstein." --GTac (talk) 08:46, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
And now you know... The rest of the story.--Martin Arrowsmith (talk) 13:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Hell, I'm going to end every anecdote/story I tell with "and the name of that [fill in the blank] - Albert Einstein!" DickTurpis (talk) 13:28, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

A Conservative Parable

So, I was talking to this little girl, the daughter of some friends, and she said she wanted to be President some day.

Both of her parents, atheist liberal Democrat professors, were standing there with us - and I asked her - "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"

She replied - "I would protect all fetuses which might one day uncover new conservative insights."

"Wow - what a worthy goal you have there," I told her, "You don't have to wait until you're President to do that, you can come over to my house..."

Then a terrorist busted into the room, and the little girl pulled out a gun and shot him dead.

Her parents yelped, "You should not have a gun! Prove there is a God! Morals are relative!"

She spat on the terrorist's writhing corpse and, looking at them, said, "God's too busy protecting the soldiers fighting overseas so you can say stupid shit like that."

That little girl's name? Albert Einstein. And Einstein said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

This parable actually happened. Twice.

Errr I don't get it. Acei9 05:44, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Why is the girl named Albert Einstein? Acei9 05:44, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Disregard Ace, you fucking nailed it Publius! All the best parts of all the conservative parables in one, and it makes just as much sense as any of them! This deserves a long string of FW:FW:FW:FW:FW:'s --GTac (talk) 06:15, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
No it would have the best parts of all the conservative parables if it had Reagan telling the story. - π 06:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
The name of the girl - Albert Einstein doesn't make any sense - in context of Conservapedia. It should read: The name of the girl - Isaak Newton. larronsicut fur in nocte 06:55, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Yes, it does - Einstein lacked Machismo. Röstigraben (talk) 07:15, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

I just noticed the dog poop parable. What sort of dog owner is Andy if he doesn't clean up his own dog's poop instead of leaving it around to get fly blown. I'll overlook the idea of asking other people to do it for him (let alone a little girl).  Lily Inspirate me. 08:16, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Nice parable. It's further proof that the weapon of gun is largely defensive. Corry (talk) 11:56, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Just to reiterate Andy's ignorance; a parable is by definition fictitious, so to say "this actually happened" is stupid.  Lily Inspirate me. 12:01, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Indeed. Also, the "this actually happened" is put with the parable of the guy who is too much of a self-righteous jerk to give someone a dime when they politely ask for it.. Is that really the parable that needs the "this actually happened"? Even though I'm sure it's made up, I'm also pretty damn sure it also happened in real life numerous times. It's not like it's a really weird scenario.. How about "One time a family refused to pay tip in a restaurant cause they just came back from the church and had already given money there". I'm pretty sure that this actually happened at one point somewhere! --GTac (talk) 13:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
I believe the dime-withholding jerk is actually Andy.  Lily Inspirate me. 13:30, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm sure that's happened plenty of times, GTac--I've heard from several waiters that church crowds are notoriously bad tippers. --Gulik (talk) 17:59, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Great parable. But why do I think the weapon of gun's name should be Albert Einstein? DickTurpis (talk) 13:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Lily and GTac are absolutely correct, but conservative anecdotes doesn't really have that ring to it. And lo, Jesus descended from high and sayeth he: I have several amusing anecdotes for my disciples. Didst thou hear about the traveling salesman who came upon a farmhouse........ SirChuckBWhatever happened to Skip It? 18:15, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

WIGO phail...

"clearly the word 'black means 'brunette.'" but the word "brunette" does not appear anywhere on the page linked to in the WIGO. Maybe a relevant difflink would be a better call? DarkStar (talk) 03:13, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I asked the poster on their talk page to try to do so. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:22, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

I really hope that Quetzalcoatl is a parodist, because otherwise what they think they're "improving" about the Song of Solomon is fucking criminal. I look forward to seeing how they ruin it.

That was one of the funnier WIGOs I've seen. On another note, I'm disappointed at the banning of Thunkful, he was dealing Andy a pwning, although I don't think he pointed out that they weren't even translating from the Greek WashionalRiki (talk) 12:18, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
If you'd like a bit more of him, he's actually wandered by to get CP declared "not fundamentalist". As for the current WIGO, that tent bit was probably my favorite CBP edit so far. ~ Kupochama[1][2] 13:18, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
"Love flag" sounds obscene! Also a turtle dove isn't the same as a nightingale. — Unsigned, by: 95.150.14.106 / talk / contribs

The main "translation technique" seems to be adding exclamation marks at the end of every sentence! And destroying the poetry in favour of pure clunkiness! And why are all those references to wine allowed to stay? It's undeniable that verse 2 should be "Your love is so pleasurable, even better than grape juice!"!

I couldn't figure out why my irony meter was acting up, so I started looking through CP talk pages when I discovered this hunk of shit from Karajou. basically he's getting on a user for copypasting articles, and he actually wrote this sentence "You cannot have so much as one sentence in an article that was copied from it's source and claim it as your own." Karajou, if I may direct your attention to exhibits A through Z. You have a lot of deleting to do. SirChuckBCall the FBI 20:23, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Not worth a WIGO, especially given the source, but you have to love the hypocrisy in this headline. A well-intentioned political outsider who's earned his own way in life running a successful small business goes up against an expert (gasp!) in politics no less, who's supported by the political establishment that basically calls the shots in that state. Could it be the Best of the Public challenging a "so-called expert" insider? Oh, wait - he's a Democrat, so that automatically makes him an incompetent wanna-be who's clearly out of his league. --DinsdaleP (talk) 00:03, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't think TK ever bought into that Best of the Public nonsense. Keegscee (talk) 00:38, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
I doubt TK ever actually believed in any of Andy's "insights". Few did, really. Right now, I guess only TerryH and maybe this Benp do? Everybody else is a parodist, plays along, or flat out ignores them. --Sid (talk) 02:21, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

In andy's world

Publicly insulting your boss is allowed under [free speech.] When my boss gets back I am gonna call her a fuck and see how far "free speech" gets me. Acei9 03:19, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

In Andyland getting fired is worse than having your finger nails pulled out and then being sent to a forced labor camp in siberia to die. --Opcn (talk) 06:36, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps that's due to Andy being unable to get a proper job? Webbtje (talk) 07:50, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
The world's biggest irony meter just exploded, as a reaction to anyone at CP complaining about Free Speech. They have no sodding concept what free speech is - they do their utmost to squash it at every possible opportunity. Dicks. Worm(t | c) 08:48, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
