User talk:TheGreatSPOOFER
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hey Spoofer! I jst found your message today. It's amazing how many people I've met from SAINTS that post on my talk page - other than yourselves, so far one ;). If you need any help on your page (like adding some Userboxes), then just contact me on my Talk Page! Remember, I reply to all message on my talk page, so you might want to put it on your Watchlist. Another quick question: Is this account for both you and 'Ducky,' or just you? See you soon, --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 12:22, 30 April 2008 (UTC) May the Randomness and Duct Tape be with you.
In answer to your question, If ducky wants, she can use it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.6.181.205 (talk) 13:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Email sent out to those who might want to join the TDTE
THE DUCT TAPE ELITE, or TDTE, is a group created by two bored people who had a love for Duct Tape and what it does.
Qualifications for the TDTE are.
1. One must have a strong passion for Duct Tape. 2. One must not back down when challenges such as run through the house screaming: "I wish I had a monkey with a purple Mo-hawk that strangely resembles Tom Hanks!" 3. One must learn the ancient language of the Tripmunk, and be able to master this form of speaking while at the same time playing soccer (Which yours truly is fluent in this language). 4. One must understand that Mashed Potatoes, are cool, even without gravy, except when it is lodged up in ones nose, because it burns.
If you qualify then that could either mean you are a totally-bored home schooler, who thinks that having fun is researching duct tape, and the ancient art of Tripmunk. Or you are a wacked-out Vagabond who lives in a small cave carving little bunny rabbits out of cheese.
RULE #1 All members of the TDTE must understand that life would be boring without the word Random, unless the word Random was said different, like Qixipuz, but still meant the same thing.
RULE #2 TDTE members should quote this whenever they feel like it, "Bananas, Bananas, They are yellow. if they weren't I'd be mellow."
RULE #3 All members must try and learn the TDTE theme song, which is sung to the tune of the wheels of the bus. Here is how it goes: Duct tape is the best, and I think so I think so I think so Duct tape is the best, and I think so and so should you.
RULE #4 You should now take the time, and recap the entire email.
RULE #5 All TDTE members must learn about how Snicker doodles are the favorite snack of the Snicker-er which is an animal that resembles the chipmunk, except it is green, and is the shape of a jelly-bean.
RULE #6 All TDTE members must use Duct tape with almost every project they do, seeing as it is the best way to fix, make, or do anything.
RULE #7 TDTE members must understand that there is a great threat towards life as we know it. This threat is a group of dramatic chipmunks, that are lead by, well, a chipmunk that strangely resembles a Prairie-dog. Also that this group has recently joined up with a creepy toy pooh bear, who is quite evil.
RULE #8 TDTE members must realize that Justin will return (and if you don't know who Justin is then I suggest that you find out, or take up spelunking, and pie eating.
RULE #9 All members should agree that the numbers 8 and 4 are awesome numbers, because they can be divided by two.
RULE #10 All members must learn about the great prophecy of Justin, that was created by the founder of TDTE, and understand the Booger propulsion theory in that, which is ""If one could propel their booger at the speed of a flying monkey, it would break the sound barrier, thus creating a rip in the fabric of time and space, which would anger Chuck Norris."
I am the Co-founder of TDTE, and if you wish to join, please do so by emailing me back.
I am the Co-founder of TDTE, and I agree with this message.
I, the supposed founder of TDTE, approve this message in the name of Justin, Duct Tape, and Randomness. --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 16:17, 1 May 2008 (UTC) 
[edit] Userbox Making Mini-Guide
Hey Spoofer! This is Green, or Random, or Duct, or whatever the Zimbabwe you want to call me. I got your message on how to make a Userbox, so I've decided to make this little guide on how to make a very basic one in a style similar to that of one of those Disney-Trainee videos. Here it is:
(quick note: I've got the song 'copacabana' stuck in my head, so here's a link to listen to it[1])
Userboxes; A History
So, let's start off with the basics. What is a "Userbox?" Well, other than the very element of personal customization, they are some of the building blocks of most Wikipedian's Userpages. A Userbox, commonly reffered to as a "UBX," is a small(or large) rectangular-shaped box on the side of your page (or anywhere you like) that describes you. Userboxes are come in many designs, colors, and information. Almost all Userboxes are made by Wikipedians, such as myself. To make a UBX 'official,' go to a section in the UBX Gallery where you think it fits in. Copy the title of the page your UBX is on, by the way. Look for the proper section, and then click Edit Page. Figure out how they are arranged, then try to fit it in there.
Good luck! Remember, Duct Tape combined with Randomness = an atomic bomb. See you soon!

How to Place a Userbox on Your Userpage
Unless you want your Userboxes to fill up the center and sides of your page, I suggest the neat(and, if you do it properly, random) stlye of 'Userboxtop-Userboxbottom,' the most common style of placing Userboxes. First, go to the Userbox article page, from the link at the top of this whole little letter, or by searching "Wikipedia:Userboxes." Then, go to the Gallery. Find a Userbox you like (and for this method I suggest opening two Windows; one with your Userpage being edited, and the other with the gallery) and copy it's code. Edit your Userpage, and put Userboxtop|Your Name Here's Userboxes near the top of your page. This will indicate the top of your Userbox showcase. Then, at the bottom of your Userbox showcase, put Userboxbottom. the Userbox article has the exact code you copy for the UBXtop and bottom, seeing as how I can't type it in without it thinking I'm putting some Template in.
Making a Userbox, the Tedious and Sometimes Rewarding Task
Now, to make a UBX, go to the Userbox article (again). Look for the 'Creating a new userbox' section. This will basically tell you how to make a userbox. Copy whichever style of code you want, and then go to the bottom of the page. You should see a link that reads Wikipedia:Userbox Maker. Do what it says, and on your new Userbox page, put the code in. Adjust it until it looks good, and then you're done. To find that page again, either put it on your Wathlist, OR: Type in your Username in the search box, type /, type Userboxes, and type in the name of the Userbox. An example would be User:Pirate GreenBug/Userboxes/Duct Tape . All the Userboxes I have made and their codes can be found at User:Pirate GreenBug/My Userboxes.
Hey Green? Where did you find the Ron Paul, userbox?
That's a good question... I forgot... But, for the purpose of being quick, you can just copy it off of my page. I'll try to find there I got it from, so 'stay tuned!!!!'
Ok, found it! Go to the Wikipedia:Userboxes/Politics page. Look under "Other" under "United States of America." Look for the "Republicans" section, and you should find The Champion of the Constitution. --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 19:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey Green, quick question, how do I get a friend Userbox? Also, you should make a TDTE Userbox :) (I have not really been able to master making them) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.6.181.205 (talk) 19:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Friend Userbox... Friend Userbox... Well, I don't exactly know where to find them, lol. I'll get you the code, and then just edit the part with the friend-of-choice's name. --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 23:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Ok, found it! Here's the code:

This user is friends with Pirate GreenBug. |
Just Click 'edit' and copy&paste the code on your Userpage. I put my name because It was fast, lol.--Pirate GreenBug (talk) 23:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Green! <--- Spoofer
[edit] I am Roman Emerald Pirate a freind of Green!!!!
[edit] Hello this Roman Emerald Pirate a friend of Green!!!!(four exclamation marks)
I am friend of Green, in fact he is sitting in this very room, my room, at this moment talking about a song he has written called the "Duct Tape Song". Soooooooooooooooo, I was wondering if I could join TDTE. I could ask Green right know considering that he is in the same room with me, but from what I have heard about you, I think you are infinitely cooler.
Greetings Emerald, I am the guy to talk to about joining, because I'm the organizer, Green is just the guy who sits there, and says speeches, and junk like that. Just one question, are you a totally bored person, or just a whacked-out vagabond, who carves little bunnies out of cheese? <--- Spoofer :)
Trust me Spoofer, this guy's a whacked-out vagabond!!!! And, yes he does carve little bunnies out of cheese. I tried to eat one once, and he straps me in his chair and starts playing ZZTop's Viva Los Vegas over and over and over!!!! And, yes, I'm proud of my little pointless speeches and junk like that ;) . Anyway, Just for a bit of background on "The Duct Tape Song," it's basically a Ducted-Up version of thw song "Bad Day" (by some guy who's name escapes me due to the fact that I paid closer to the name of the person who posted the video).--Pirate GreenBug (talk) 19:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I never did such think. I just strapped Green to the chair and made him listen to Viva Las Vegas by ZZ Top, there were no bunnys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roman Emerald Pirate (talk • contribs) 21:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Finnaly someone who understands the global warming issue. Al Gore over exagerates it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roman Emerald Pirate (talk • contribs) 21:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Seven Userboxes and I already agree with them all...
Hey, Spoofer! I just noticed all your Userboxes, and I was amazed that I completely agreed with them all, lol. --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 23:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I just discovered that ou have more Userboxes - and I love the Will it blend; That is the question one ;). I've been trying to buy a Blend Tec Total, although those miracle-workers are expensive!!!! See ya' soon,
--Pirate GreenBug (talk) 16:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah I just kept finding new userboxes to put up. While we are on the subject, can I use your Random userbox? <--- Spoofer
Anytime, Spoofer! I give you permission to use any of my Userboxes (like the Kazoo and Duct Tape ones ;)) ! It seems like we're always on at the same time lol, see ya! --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 18:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] NEWS FLASH
Hey Spoofer, this is Green. I recently made some TDTE Userboxes, and I thought you might like them. Feel free to use them, although since they're not official, just copy the code. I'll make a TDTE Subpage someday with all the Userboxes, Pictues, and information from and for TDTE. --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 18:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Ok, big news - I just amde a TDTE subpage, which is probably (for now) the bigget page it will get. User:Pirate GreenBug/TDTE is where to go to get to it. I've pasted all my TDTE Userboxes on there, and I will soon be pasting more. Feel free to edit, although please don't remove anything! I'll probably fix your edits though, lol. --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 18:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I just added the Co-Founder of TDTE UBX to your page, bc i figured you might want it ;) It's purple for obvious reasons(cough: bc you said it's your favorite color). --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 19:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
IMPORTANT - Respond to my comments/questions on my Discussion page so I can tell when there's a comment of yours. If you want me to reply here, just tell me to reply here so I'm not constantly looking for new edits.--Pirate GreenBug (talk) 19:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, NEW NEWS!!!! I've been working somewhat hard on the TDTE Subpage (which you really should visit), and I've made quite a few new sections. Make sure to tell all the people you e-mailed the recruitment notice to to go to the TDTE Subpage, which there is a link earlier in this Talk Page section. Or, just go to my Userpage, look under "My Subpages," and go to the TDTE one. I'll put a link to the TDTE page under my "TDTE" section soon, but try to get to the TDTE Subpage soon!!!! --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 16:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Quick note: I recently went and fixed all the TDTE Userboxes so that they all have links to the TDTE page on them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pirate GreenBug (talk • contribs) 16:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Oh, cool. I've got to go, but i'll be right back.--Pirate GreenBug (talk) 22:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)==Image copyright problem with Image:TDTE contract.gif==

[edit] TDTE Day
Hmm... sounds interesting. I think we should. Although, we'll have to do some date-figuring-outing on when to place the holiday. By the way, did you see the new TDTE Gallery? I'm still uploading some pics. --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 18:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Cool! I'll be uploading some more pics soon. --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 18:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, I just made up my mind. May 21st will be the date for the holiday, if you agree. I clicked "Random article" and a date on the page was May 21, so I decided to go with that date, if you agree.
Yeah, Harvey was awesome. Where's you get the pic?
When you said 'sounds good,' you meant the TDTE date, right?
May 21 has officially been declared TDTE Day. --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 18:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I also thought I might add a few things for TDTE, like "Members also must realize that Don Quixote is truly the most valliant knight ever because of his courage in slaying the Windmill Giants."
Hey, I've made a news section on the TDTE Discussion Page. I figured we'd have the News there so we'd have more room for other random stuff on the page. By the way, I made a May 21st TDTE Dat Userbox. Hope you Enjoy! Gotta Boogie, --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 17:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Awesome! I'll have to check out the TDTE page and welcome the new members.--Pirate GreenBug (talk) 11:41, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Happy TDTE Day to you too! --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 18:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] TDTE for Non-Duct Tape Fanatics
Good question. Simple answer. YES. TDTE rarely excludes anyone from membership, and if she wants to join, even though her heart doesn't have a space in it for that burning passion for Duct Tape. And as for Secretary, if she wants, she can. Although I don't know what she will do... I'll think of some impossible task she can do as a Ductitary (my new term for Secretary); although only if she WANTS to be Ductitary. By the way, if she doesn't already have a different Wikipedia account other than TheGreatSPOOFER, I would HIGHLY suggest that she make a new account. Just let me know what the account name is, and sign her up on the TDTE page. If she already has a different account I haven't seen yet, then she can use that one. Gotta Boogie, --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 21:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
