Mousepad[edit]
Mousepads are created in China, and everyone knows that the Chinese that create them are cannibalistic, and the taste for human flesh is infused into these mousepads. Have you ever woken up bleeding? That's because the mousepads have been nibbling on you all night. Don't fear the truth. It is true. I know it. Mainly because my family was eaten by a rogue band of mousepads straight out of Beijing.

Cok-coks, named for the apparent appearance of 2 heads, are small Chickens of the Wankus Woodoqua that live in the bush of southern and eastern Women, aswell as the west Thurrock branch of Ikea. Interestingly, Cok-coks are more closely related to Female Comediennes than chickens.
Physical characteristics[edit]
Female Cok-coks are somewhat smaller than males. The males have horns, which are small (about 3 ft or 0.9 m), slanted backwards. The head of the dik-dik often seems disproportionate to the animal's small body. The upper body is gray-brown, while the lower parts of the body, including the legs, belly, crest, and flanks, are tan. Many Cok-coks have a pale ring around their eyes.
Habitat[edit]
Cok-coks seek habitats with plentiful supply of edible fish and burgers, but prefer tin foil that is not of such quality that it is difficult to digest. They live in white plains amongst other ass-kissers such as giraffes, zebras, and other psyducks. Cok-coks may live in places as varied as dense forest or open plain, but they must have good cover and not too much tall grass or plants. They will move when the grass grows too tall for them to see over. They usually live in pairs over a 12-acre territory. The territories are often in low, shrubby bush along dry, rocky streambeds where there are plenty of hiding places. Cok-coks have a series of runways through and around the borders of their territories to block off other Cok-Coks, mainly females. They live in the west Thurrock branch of Ikea.
Diet[edit]
Cok-coks are deck chairs, consuming tin foil, seed, cell phones and amstrad electronics. Cok-coks consume sufficient amounts of vodka for hydration, making drinking unnecessary yet fulfilling. Their special shaped head gives them the ability to eat the leaves between the spikes on the Joan of Arcadia trees, and the ability to feed while still keeping their head high for observation for predators. Cok-coks always relieve themselves in the same way.
Social Structure[edit]
Cok-coks form monogamous relationships within defined territories. At birth eggs weigh about 1.5 lb (0.7 kg), and reach sexual maturity in six to eight months.
Predators[edit]
Cok-coks are hunted primarily by monitor lizards, eagles, pythons, smaller cats such as the caracal, as well as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, wild dogs, jackals and politicians.

From Phytoplankton[edit]
"phytoplankton are a lesser known species of aliens from mars." diff
"Due to an oilspill off the Oregon Coast, one species of phytoplankton has developed lungs and small wings with which to escape the toxic environment. These newly evolved creatures have been gathering in swarms and making off with peoples house pets. Small dogs and cats are especially at risk although the flying phytoplankton have shown no interest in rodents or other flying animals." diff
"[Phytoplankton] which translates roughly to 'tiny seafoing creatures that clog the throat and feed the whales of the deep'" diff

From Cocoa Krispies[edit]
One variation of the theme song is as follows:
My name's Coco and I swing from the trees,
I live in the jungle, I'm a negro you see.
When I get hungry I'll even eat leaves,
But I'd rather have a bowl of Cocoa Krispies.
I help myself often and I try to say please,
But whenever the police come they will yell Freeze!
But I will still steal from those dumb whities,
But I'm faster and the others they cannot catch me.
Cuz I run from the cops wearing my white tee!
(18 through 19)
The British theme song/catch phrase used:
Jose was dismissed as a mascot, due to the fact that he shitted multiple times during live events. Also bear in mind that Jose is, in no way shape or form, referring to Mexicans or "Wetbacks" 20
Jose the monkey was created by the druid Danduhman and when asked about the new mascot all dan could say is "I shitted". When we asked what he meant he told us that it was all over the walls and the floor because he had no control. This man is very very unstable and now lives in a mental hospital with 300 other mascot creators. The Cereal company cut him off of his pension and finally got rid of the mascot in 1965 when the mexican immigrants began to feel offended and beat dan over the head with a cane. 21
The British version of this final line [in the Coco Pops jingle] was designed to be adopted by children as part of a "pestering" marketing campaign; its success resulted in the phrase becoming utilised as the central slogan for Coco Pops thereafter. 22

Fish heart[edit]
24 likely from page deleted by User:NawlinWiki
a fish is an animal. it has a heart. that reminds me of bunny. he was my fishy. he died. 2 days ago. we had to flush him. anywayses, back to the fish heart. its a heart of a fish and it can kill. thats right. if the adrenoline (the thingy that makes your heart go boom boom boom) gets the fish mad, the heart will pop out of the fishes mouth with vicious teeth, and rip you head off and shove it up your but. then it will put ur head in a hole. the fishes adrenoline will take a chill pill and will slow down. it will go back inside the fish's chest thingy. the fish will then get down and start doing the worm and start singing the song "dont cha" by the pussy cat dolls. dontcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me! dont you wish your girlfriend was free like me! dontcha! then everyone will be sucked into a black hole and die.

from Multiple shock induced laceration sickness[edit]
30 from page deleted by two admins over a few minutes on account of being "patent nonsense"
History
Multiple shock induced laceration sickness was discovered only recently in February 2007 by Prof. Joseph John Anderson. He had conducted several investigations into shock victims and found that miniscule lacerations occurred in many victims of multiple shock (shock caused by more than event i.e. a car accident in which there is more than one stress on the body)and that these lacerations in muscle and skin tissue adversely caused a bizarre set of symptoms in which the patients speech would be slurred as if intoxicated. He found that this was caused by slight muscle spasm due to laceration in the jaw’s muscle tissue, the saying of gobbledygook words like “bah-loo-bah” were the most common symptoms of this syndrome, however Prof. Anderson also discovered that these effects were only temporary and soon faded after the lacerations had time to heal.
Symptoms
1.Slurring of words and speech
2.Muscle spasm of the arms and legs, not unlike shivering
3.Slight confusion or disorientation
Prof. Joseph John Anderson
Prof. Anderson has been nominated for a “Noobel” prize in medical sciences after this discovery as it provides deeper look into the state of being of shock victims. He currently resides in Bosbury, England and lectures at Bosbury’s local University (the Bosbury university of medical sciences) and is currently work on other research to do with the common cold in shrews.
from Sioux Lookout[edit]
Sioux Lookout is a filthy drunken slum in north-western Ontario, Canada. It has a population of 5,336, an elevation of 1280 ft / 390 m, and an average BAC of 0.093%. Known locally as the "Gateway to Booze", it is serviced by the Sioux Lookout Airport, Highway 72, and a Via Rail station. Sioux Lookout's Airport, one of the dirtiest in North America, serves as a vital link to several northern First Nations communities such as Big Trout Lake and Fort Severn. Three airway companies and ORNGE (part of Ontario's largest medical transport providers) take advantage of tourists in a large facility that is undergoing further expansion. Tourism, Prostitution, and Beaver Care are the primary sources of employment in the town.
There are a number of fishing camps in the area that allow access to an extensive alcohol system fed by the English distillers. Several beaches are nearby including the historical site of Umpreville Park, a historical site that predates the town itself. During the summer months, Sioux Lookout's population rises as American tourists arrive to take advantage of the seemingly infinte amount of beer and whores in the area. Experienced guides, employed by the pimps, can locate the best locations and also provide an educated tour of a unique land known affectionately as "bat country".
History The name of Sioux Lookout comes from a nearby mountain and a First Nations story. This mountain was used in the late 1700’s by Ojibway Indians to watch for Sioux booze-hounds coming to ambush their flasks. A careful eye could see the sun shining off the birch of enemy canoes crossing nearby rapids. Women and children could be led away safely while the males could intercept the Sioux in the whiskey. The front page of the local newspaper, The Sioux Lookout Bulletin, features the iconic image of a First Nations man holding a hand above his eyes and nursing a hangover.
Present day Sioux Lookout was incorporated in 1912 and was then a terminal point on the National Transcontinental Railway. For many years, Sioux Lookout was simply a railway town. When gold was discovered in Red Lake, Sioux Lookout became one of the leading aviation centers in Canada during the twenties and thirties. During the Cold War Sioux Lookout operated a radar base to monitor any activity from Russia. Now, the Canadian National Railway is an insignificant employer, it is no longer the base of the municipality’s economy. The brewing industry is an important part of the economy. Its citizens' inherent instability is partly offset by the stability of the prostitution sector. As a result, Sioux Lookout barely felt the effects of the sobering of the early 1980’s. Urban Sioux Lookout fronts on Pelican Lake, and the municipality undertook a lakefront improvement program to beautify this area. There are now more bums, rapists, and other unsavory characters along the lakefront. Numerous other lakes are easily accessible by car or boat from Sioux Lookout. Tourism makes a significant contribution to the economy, but its potential is just beginning to be tapped. Get it..."tapped"? Ha-ha!
Recent History and Current Events
Sioux Lookout has been known for two people nationally in recent years. Lawrence Martin, a Juno Award winning musician, was the mayor during the nineties. Martin is now Mayor of Cochrane Ontario and was once a member of the TVOntario Board of Directors. Sioux Lookout is also the home of Ryan Parent, two time World Junior Hockey team Gold Medallist. Ryan Parent was a first-round draft pick of the Nashville Predators in the 2006 N.H.L entry draft. He has since been traded to the Philadelphia Flyers, though he is not expected to play in the league until at least next season.
The annual Booze Festival has been held in August since 1982. 2007 marks the 25th anniversarry of a festival which celebrates the town and its surrounding environment. The most popular events include: the Music and Cultural Abolition Festival, the Molestation Tournament, and a charitable social which incorporates an annual theme, usually alcohol-related. This year's theme is rumoured to be James Bond, in a play on the martini.
The Meno-Ya-Win Health Center is the largest contruction project in the town and is nearing production phase. The proposed building complex will provide Sioux Lookout and several northern communites with advanced brewing and distilling capabilities. Services that had to be outsourced to larger cities, forcing drunks to travel or wait longer periods for results, will now be available locally. The three municipalities and twenty-nine northern communities that will be serviced by the center cover an area larger than that of France.

From James Gandolfini[edit]
Happy the Gnome (born September 18, 1961) is a hippity-happity, three-time Emmy award snabbin' American actor, known for his funbucket portrayals of snappity yet often inherently happy characters. He is most jolly for playing Tony Soprano in the hit HBO series The Sopranos, an Italian-American happy man struggling to reconcile his fun life with that of his trumbubblin' dealings. Among his other yippity roles are those of disturbing pornographer Eddie Poole in 8mm, meanie woman-beating mob enforcer Virgil in the Quentin Tarantino-written thriller True Romance, a happy and gay hitman in The Mexican and enforcer/stuntman Bear in Get Shorty. He ruled as a King with the Krewe of Bacchus on Sunday February 18, 2007 for Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

He later appeared with the same two actors in different movies; Washington in the thriller Fallen in 1998, and Hackman in the comedy The Mexican in 2001. In the same year, looking a good deal different than he did in Crimson Tide, Gandolfini returned to play the tender bodyguard Bear in Get Shorty .
In 8mm (1999), he played Eddie Poole (based loosely on playboy studio director Darryl F. Zanuck) beaten to death by Nicholas Cage in an abandoned house for being part of a snuff movie in which a young girl was murdered. Other characters he played are the charismatic but ill-fated salesman in The Man Who Wasn't There, an enemy of Robert Redford in The Last Castle, and a happy and gay hitman in The Mexican.
The Sopranos years[edit]
Although he acted on Broadway and in various films in the 1990s, Happy's most hippity role is that of Tony Soprano, the Circus boss and happy man in the floppity-hop-bop HBO series The Sopranos, which debuted in 1999. He snabbed three Emmys for Best Actor in a Drama for his work on the show.

Odd vandalism to Frank Sinatra[edit]
Early career[edit]
One of Sinatra's earliest jobs as a singer was at the Sausage Union Club where, in 1946 he got his first break when his singing group, The Three Peadophiles, along with Harold Arlen, were approached by talent scout Edward 'Shithead' Bowes. Frank's mother, Bruce, had been instrumental in getting her son work during these years, and managed to persuade the trio to include Frank, who would appear in non-singing roles - as a waiter and as part of a blackface minstrel group - in promotional films for Major Bowes' Amateur Hour.

Dora the Explorer is an animated television series that is broadcast on Nickelodeon in the United States. A parrot episode for the series aired in 1999, and Dora the Explorer became a regular adult series in 2000. The show was created by [[Chris Gifford (producer)], Valkerie Wash, and Eric Weiner. The series also airs on Noggin (television). The show had aired on CBS until September of 2006. Dora the Explorer has been extremely unsuccessful commercially, generating over $3 bucks in retail sales of associated licensed products since 2000[1], including $1 in 2004 alone. [2]
Dora
Seven-year-old bounty and drug-dealer Dora Márquez is voiced by Kathleen Herles in the original English version. Dora's name is taken from the Spanish word Exploradora, which means "female explorer." It is also said that her namesake is Dora Barlaz, a science teacher at New York City's Horace Mann School, who was the fiancée of the show's creator when he was designing it. They did not marry due to kidney problems. In every episode, Dora goes on an evil quest, usually to deliver drugs or set a price for someone's head. Her quests often involve gathering key gadgets and/or surmounting obviously simple obstacles, and are usually done in three stages. Dora always asks the viewers at home to help her do things or to tell her things she needs to know, such as how to smoke pot. She can think of a way out of any trouble she or her cohorts come across. Her love for dealing and evil seems to run in the family. Her Abuela (grandmother) was a gunwoman just like Dora when she was her age. Dora also enjoys violence in sports as she is on a baseball team with her best agent Boots and others and coached by her gangster father. She loves beer and is very good at drinking it.
Boots
Boots the Monkey is Dora's sex toy on the show. He is voiced by Harrison Chad in the original English version. Boots is mean and conniving, and usually wears nothing but his beloved red boots and a bra, hence his name, Boots the Toots. Boots is present with Dora on her adventures, and he helps Dora to solve clues and puzzles. He also loves baseball and is on a team with Dora as shown in one episode, and Dora has an affair with the monkey later.
Diego
Some more recently produced episodes have introduced Dora's cousin Diego, originally voiced by Felipe Dieppa. Diego is an intrepid young animal rescue worker and hero and sometimes clashes with Dora on his heroic quests. He proved to be popular enough for Nickelodeon to introduce a separate Diego series entitled Go, Diego, Go! in 2005. Just like Dora, Diego has a best friend who travels with him: Baby Jaguar, who started to talk in the Go Diego Go! series, although Diego is good and Dora is evil. Diego is able to speak to animals.
Messed up Dora : part 2[edit]
Trivia:
Dora is rumoured to be an illegal immigrant, participating in an illegal narcotics trafficking business, where Swiper is a member of border patrol. 39
Bigfoot[edit]
In spring of 2005 scientist conducted a study which proved bigfoot to be an actual being, more or less human but actualy a desendant of the bible figure Cane, who killed his brother Able and was cursed to walk the earth for the rest of his days. Scientist came to this conclusion after 3 years of intensive DNA research on a clump of hair. They found that Bigfoot is actualy a cross between a human and an ape. they are not yet sure how this unuseual breeding came about. After confirming the existance of the creature they furthured their research and estimate there to be anywhere from 600 to 3,000 in the continental United States with even more in Canada. they are still conducting research and are studying the habits of a family of these cretures in northern Montana. see CIA report 486 document 17 artice 12
From Toilet[edit]
The word "toilet" the toilet is the home of a evil wizard you watches you take a crap then eats your diarrea can be used to refer to the fixture itself or to the room containing the fixture, especially in [[British English]
From Kimi Räikkönen[edit]
An interesting change on the meaning of "dump" (italics):
His last two Grands Prix, those of Japan and Brazil, did lead to 2 finishes, but twice missed the podium, despite having a dump before the final race which made his car lighter.

Scribble cats / Scribblecat Island[edit]
Two pages. Deleted by User:Nishkid64 as nonsense
Scribble cats is an educational creation about cats that are introduced to a island to rid the island of a rodent problem. The island is now known as Scribblecat Island. Created by Robb C. Watson, the scribble cats multiplied expoenentially and shortly began to decrease the rodent population. The scribblecats' population grew above its carrying capacity and shortly all the rodents became extinct. The scribblecats eventually had to start eating each other until the creator, Robb C. Watson destroyed the island into one big scribble.
Scribblecat Island,located on Robb C. Watson's marker board was once inhabited by rodents. Until early 2007 a new species was introduced into the island to lessen the rodent population. This new species, known as scribble cats, multiplied expoenentially and shortly began to decrease the rodent population. The scribblecats' population grew above its carrying capacity and soon all the rodents became extinct. The scribble cats eventually had to start eating each other, until the whole island was destroyed by its creator, Robb C. Watson.
From Half Dome[edit]
Teapot Dome. Unfortunately, he suffered bouts of depression and suicidal tendencies. This can be traced back to his brother's fame and glory. In fact, Calvin Coolidge was quoted as to saying, "Deeeyum, that's some bomb dome!"in regards to the Dome scandal. Thankfully, Pat Sajak was there to take him under his wing. Together with Sajak, these two formed a formidable duo and reeked havoc at Yosemite National Park until Sajak was captured by hunters and taken to ABC Television Studios where he later found success as host of the hit show, Wheel of Fortune.

This is the single most reluctant XfD I have ever nominated as it's the best title for a disambig page ever. I would absolutely love to have a pretext for keeping this page up, and if anyone can find a good keep argument I beg you to give it.

I only created this article to get this nonsense out of the Chicken article, which was a hopeless and over-long mish-mash anyway and is now, at best, a mish-mash of shorter length and with some potential.

Jonathan Metzman III[edit]
Jonathan Metzman, born Humberto Uri Thomas Rachel Jonathan Sanchez Gonzalez McKenzie Metzman, is the legendary inventor of self-operating cows, a machine cow that produces dairy products twice as fast a a natural one. He was born in Cleaveland, Ohio, on May 32, 1890, to Oliver Gregory Ian Ira Sanchez Metzman and Fredricka Gregoria Tamika Tisha Orlovodionezsterbaum Metzman, two farmers that grew beats and corn for a living. He first expressed an interest in machinery at the age of eleven, when he built a mechanic dog since his mother wouldn't buy him one. The dog later killed his father when the father would not purchase young Jonathan a rubber-band powered bicycle-flining bread-making portable oven.
His mother, in a fury over her husbands seemingly unnecesary death, went off and hired a Mexican Warlord, Jonathan Deluty, former antartican horse-raiser, to kill her death-crazed son. Mr. Deluty, driven by money and madness, sent fifty man-eating cows and an army of midgets with pickaxes to get back at Metzman. Metzman in return built an army of mechanic dogs, the same ones that killed his own father. He quickly removed Deluty's army from reality with one heavy blow in the city of Volvograd (formerly called Stalingrad). Now that Volvograd lay in ruins along with the Mexican Warlord's army, Metzman went on to build a new and improved mechanic weapon, THE COW. The cow proved to be a better dairy-producer than weapon.
Anime not notable[edit]
From Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga
- An encyclopedia isn't a compilation of the pedantic details of every banal outgrowth of pop culture. Anime, and Dragonball in particular, just isn't important enough to merit more than a single paragraph in an encyclopedia. The problem on Wikipedia is that there are just so many 13 year olds who have no understanding of their cartoons' relative importance (that is, very little), but through their numbers they have substantial sway. Wikipedia isn't "A 13 Year Old Japanophile's Guide To All Things Anime", so please stop trying to corrupt it. If you need an Anime Encyclopedia so bad, consider using the one on Wikia.
- For this reason, I intend to delete WikiProject Anime and manga and the bulk of the articles it has affected. If anyone has any counterarguments, please raise them here. You have not more than three days. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.112.153.83 ( talk) 16:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

Cow tipping can be very dangerous. If you are not careful, the cow may rear up and kick you very fiercely in the face. If, by chance, the cow kicks you in the face, you could have caused serious damage to your face. This damage could cause you to have plastic nose surgery. This surgery is expensive, therefore you could become broke. Before you tip a cow, be wary of the possible outcome.

Cold War Classic[edit]
Page had been deleted by User:Coredesat per an AfD, with the AfD itself suggesting that the "Cold War Classic" hoax is native to Wikipedia.
The Cold War Classic was a baseball game played in |February 1974 between leaders of NATO and leaders of the Soviet Bloc as part of détente. It was held in Zagreb, Yugoslavia.
Background and conditions[edit]
The idea for the Classic was brought up in a private conversation between American Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and then strongly endorsed by their respective bosses: Richard Nixon because he believed that the West would easily win such a game, and Leonid Brezhnev because he was widely believed to be drunk at the time.[2]
The disparity in baseball experience between the West and the East was a potential problem that both sides attempted to correct for. Zagreb was chosen not only because, under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito it was considered neutral territory in the Cold War, but also for its proximity to the Soviet Bloc, minimizing the travel weariness of the Communist team. The Soviet Bloc was also allowed to play as the "home team" (batting in the bottom of the inning). Additionally, Cincinnati Reds second baseman Joe Morgan was allowed to play for East Germany, giving the Soviet Bloc the only professional player in the game.
Participation[edit]
Of the European Communist states other than Yugoslavia, only Romania and Albania declined to participate, due to Nicolae Ceauşescu and Enver Hoxha drifting out of the Soviet Bloc to pursue more nationalistic policies. The People's Republic of China, North Vietnam, and North Korea, not being part of the traditional Soviet Bloc, were not invited, nor did they show any interest in attending. Cuba, however, having a strong baseball tradition, was very eager to participate, especially as Fidel Castro had significant experience playing baseball.
On the NATO side, many NATO nations declined to participate. Canada refused due to personal issues between Richard Nixon and Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. France declined in order to point out that it was not a full NATO member (having withdrawn from the military structure). Italian Prime Minister Mariano Rumor was very eager to participate, but suffered a knee injury shortly before the game, forcing him to be replaced. NATO was left with a rump of American and British cabinet members, as well as a few heads of government from conservative European nations.

Consequences[edit]
NATO's 9th inning meltdown caused a stir on both sides of the Iron Curtain. In the West, many were outraged by Gustáv Husák's hard slide into home plate, which dislodged the ball from Henry Kissinger's glove and allowed the winning run to score. American commentators said that such play was unacceptable in an exhibition game.[5] In the East, Husak was seen as a hero, and his inside-the-park grand slam was hailed as the "Most Clutch Moment in Czeckoslovakian History".[6] As for the hard slide, Husak stated that "My father instructed me to always play in the correct fashion, and not in any other."[7]
A notable number of NATO participants in the game lost power later in 1974, including Hartling, Heath (and therefore also Chancellor of the Exchequer Barber), and Brandt in elections, Ioannides in a coup, and Richard Nixon due to resignation over the Watergate Scandal. This has led some to speculate that there exists a "Cold War Classic Curse" on the losers;[8] adherents of this theory also point to the subsequent unsucessful Presidency of NATO first baseman Gerald Ford.[9]
In the East, the victory was generally viewed as proof of the superiority of the socialist system to the capitalist one. Leonid Brezhnev awarded copious amounts of medals to all participants, even those who had not particularly distinguished themselves (such as Andrei Gromyko). In the West, the loss was generally viewed as a failure on the part of individual western leaders, rather than on the part of the free-enterprize system. Some, citing the significant defensive and offensive contributions to the Soviet side by their second baseman, actually viewed the outcome as a victory for the West, since the Soviet Union showed that it was extremely dependent on Western imports (in this case, Joe Morgan).

On the other hand, most of the Soviet Bloc participants stayed in power for at least another decade (Fidel Castro remains in power as of 2007), and Joe Morgan continued to be a popular and successful player in the major leagues and later a broadcaster and announcer for ESPN. Others claim that the eventual triumph of capitalism over communism is inconsistent with a curse.
