The Kraang Conspiracy is the thirty-fifth episode of the series. It aired on on February 9th, 2014.

April feels left out and insists on joining the Turtles on a mission to a newly-rebuilt TCRI. During this time, a secret about April's origins is revealed by a mysterious man.

Major Characters

Minor Characters

The episode opens with the Turtles on one of their typical training exercises, jumping from rooftop to rooftop throughout the city - However, this time they are being accompanied by April, who is finding it quite difficult to keep up with them....They all begin debating whether or not they should bring April on more missions, as she could be learning more than a thing or two from them. Unbeknownst to them all, however, someone is taking several pictures of them from afar. After a little while, April comes to sense the photographer's presence, and the four Turtles then spot him as well.

The man is able to escape into his own apartment (which is located nearby), but the Turtles, using their speed, manage to spot him doing so, and they easily follow him into the apartment. Upon entering, tons of pictures situated everywhere (most of which are of the Kraang and even the Turtles themselves!!) catch their attention. They begin to wonder how the man could know of their existence....Then, Raph manages to hear the man from behind a wall, and quickly grabs him and lifts him up, putting a sai to the front of his throat. The man informs him that he is not an enemy, which eventually prompts Raph to let him go. The man then reveals that his name is Jack Kurtzman, an investigative journalist who was making his very own investigation into the case of the missing scientists the prior year, until he recently discovered The Kraang...He then informs them that The Kraang have been been plotting to use their Mutagen to terraform the Earth for well over a millenium. However, their wicked plan could not be put into motion without a 'specific chain of Human DNA' for them to utilize. He then shows them a picture of April as a baby, which greatly surprises/confuses her. He then remarks that, before April was born, her mother was one of the few [idiosynsratic] people that the Kraang were experimenting on. April is appalled by this - but before she can display her true emotions, coincidentally, a squad of Kraang Droids show up on the spot (as they have somehow realized that Kurtzman is onto them), intending to capture April...

The Kraang begin firing their weapons at the Turtles, April, and Kurtzman. April is nearly abducted twice - but both Leo and Donnie are able to save her; miraculously, though, afterwards, she makes a debatable claim, which is that she could've easily saved herself. In a quite short amount of time, all of the robots are defeated. Kurtzman does fall out of a window and nearly to his death due to one of The Kraang's blasts, but Mikey narrowly saves him with his Nunchuck. Outside, a Kraang's van is parked - and a Kraang (walking on several new metal appendages) steps out of it and opens fire on them once again. They all quickly jump into The Shellraiser, which is activated to come to the scene, and they escape. Inside, Kurtzman tells them that they must infiltrate the TCRI building (yet again) to erase everything that is on The Kraang's computers pertaining to April (for her sake, primarily)....

April thinks that the Turtles had recently destroyed the TCRI building, only to find out that the building was fully repaired and rebuilt somehow. Kurtzman then tells the Turtles that they must find the code for April’s DNA, and erase it at all costs. He then hands them a TCRI key card, which he managed to steal from one of their vans earlier. Leo then tells April to stay behind with Kurtzman, but she refuses to play a role as nothing but a stupid sidekick, and chooses to come along with them....

When they enter the building, they come face to face with an android staring at them - but they then soon deduce that all of the androids there in the area are charging. The five begin making their way through all of the inactive robots, when, suddenly, they finish charging and stand up. The Turtles and April narrowly avoid being seen as they silently make their way to the nearest elevator through the walkways. The elevator opens at the last possible second, and they enter. When the elevator reaches the very top floor and they all exit, it is revealed that Kraang Prime (who is seen through a screen) and a ton of other Kraang are "meditating" in midair there. April is actually able to telepathically read their thoughts - but The Kraang soon hear both her and the Turtles. They all then begin fighting, and our heroes are able to give The Kraang a good run for their money. Unfortunately, April is captured amidst the ruckus and is seemingly dragged out of a nearby doorway by a lone Kraang droid.

The Turtles quickly give chase to rescue April, and run through the apparent door that The Kraang had dragged her through. They then find themselves in a hallway, but to their surprise, April suddenly runs out of nowhere and towards them after seemingly escaping from the Kraang droid's grasp. She then leads the four into a detention cell to escape an oncoming Kraang horde; However, the cell doors close shut soon afterward and toxic gas begins to fill the whole room, with April laughing maniacally...The Turtles quickly realize that the "April" with them is some kind of duplicate. It is able to put up a very good fight, though the Turtles are eventually able to defeat the clone by knocking it off-balance and slamming it's face into a nearby control panel, electrocuting it. The fake April then explodes into nothing but black slime, and the elevator doors open for them.

After a few other obstacles, the Turtles soon enter a large room (which Leo has to use the card on the doorway in order to gain entrance to), full of many April clones settling in stasis tubes. In a different room, the Kraang are preparing to extract the real April's DNA to further perfect their clones. To deal with the Turtles, a Kraang opens what is called a "reject bin" and a grotesque, malformed April clone (a big genetic mishap) emerges...Whilst Leo and Mikey fight the rejected April clone (which Mikey manages to nickname "April-Derp", due to it's limited vocabulary, which is comprised of the sole word "Derp"), Raph goes off to rescue the real April by hearing and following one of her screams, and Donnie has already busied himself with hacking into the computers to erase all of April's data.

The struggle soon becomes more and more desperate, as Leo and Mikey are beginning to be outmatched by "April-Derp's" unorthodox fighting methods and Raph is seized by numerous Kraang droids before he is actually able to rescue the real April. Under the pressure, April yells out really loudly and somehow emits a telepathic signal, incapacitating the nearby Kraang, along with "April-Derp". With their enemies severely weakened, Raph is then able to rescue April, "April-Derp" is completely destroyed, and Donnie successfully ersases all of the data...However, as they decide to try and escape due to some alarms that are set off, all of the April clones are subsequently released and confront the Turtles, with the real April slipping into the crowd amongst the confusion. As the Turtles begin wondering which is the actual April, the truth is suddenly revealed when April pulls out her Tessen fan and starts destroying a few of the clones. The Turtles and the real April then partner up to destroy the entire army of clones and Kurtzman then helps them escape in one of the Kraang's vans parked right outside. Upon dropping them off, he gives the Turtles his card in case they need his help or expertise ever again.

After returning to the sewer lair, Donnie immediately inspects a sample of April's DNA (which he managed to swipe from the clone lab) under a microscope and makes quite a shocking discovery: April's DNA is made up of blend of Human and Kraang DNA, and he makes a conclusion that, because April has demonstrated to have these strange psychic powers, she is none other than a half-human, half-alien Mutant, which obviously appalls both the other Turtles and April herself in many ways....

April: -panting heavily- I… I never understood… how… how turtles… could be so… so fast!

Michelangelo: C'mon, April! This is just the warmup!

Leonardo: That's what ninjas do! Training sometimes lasts four, five hours at a time! Awesome, right? Ha ha ha! Yeah!

April: Ugh, are you kidding me? I'm gonna puke! How 'bout a REAL mission?

Raphael: It took fifteen years of training before Master Splinter allowed us to go on a 'real mission'. You got a long way to go, sister.

Donatello: Not that long! A decade or two'll fly by like that!

April: For a turtle!

Donatello: April! Use my rope!

Raphael: -mocking falsetto- April, use my rope!

Disguised Kraang-droid: Kraang, the human known as 'Kurtzman' has allied himself with the ones called 'the turtles' who are the turtles.

Disguised Kraang-droid: Observed, Kraang. Disintegrate first, capture for interrogation later.

Raphael: April? What are YOU doing here?

April: I told you, I'm sick of sitting on the sidelines!

Leonardo: Fine. Just be quiet, stay close, and DO NOT… let Mikey touch anything.

-disguised Kraang-droid finishes powering up-

Michelangelo: It wasn't me!

Disguised Kraang-droid: Kraang, does this human suit make Kraang look fat?

Raphael: What's going on, Donnie?

Donatello: -falsetto- It's a Kraang sweet sixteen birthday party! -normal voice- How'm I supposed to know?!

Michelangelo: Woah, man! You're, like, telepathetic!

Donatello: By Darwin's beard..."

Raphael: You guys take care of the derp. I'll rescue April.

Donatello: Aw, man! I wanted to do that!

April: Oh, great. Saved by Raph. I'm never gonna live this down.

Donatello: You're not… entirely human, April. That's why you have… psychic powers. In fact, you are a half human, half alien… mutant.

April, Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo: A MUTANT?!!

Michelangelo: Aw, YEAH! Welcome to the family!

  • When the Kraang enter Kurtzman's apartment, he recites a line from the film Back To The Future "They found me! I don't know how, but they found me!"
  • Kurtzman's stolen TCRI ID badge reads "Kraangenhoffer, Norman".

NBC Orders Animated Special 'How Murray Saved Christmas'

Categories: Network TV Press Releases

Written By

June 18th, 2013

via press release:

Hourlong Holiday Treat Based on Book From Creator/Executive Producer Mike Reiss

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — June 18, 2013 — NBC has greenlit the animated holiday musical special “How Murray Saved Christmas” from four-time Emmy-winning writer and executive producer Mike Reiss (“The Simpsons”).

The hourlong program is based on Reiss’ best-selling children’s book of the same name. The story centers on cranky deli owner Murray Kleiner, who is forced to fill in for Santa one Christmas and does a weirdly wonderful job.

“‘Murray’ is the perfect project to get audiences into the holiday spirit, and Mike’s impressive comedic background makes him a great choice to put all the pieces together,” said NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke.

The music will be composed by Walter Murphy, who was recently Oscar-nominated for his work on the feature film “Ted.” He has won an Emmy for “Family Guy” and was nominated on three other occasions.

Reiss is a former writer and executive producer on “The Simpsons” and was the creator of “The Critic.” Other writing credits include “Not Necessarily the News,” “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson,” “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” and “The Simpsons Movie.”

“How Murray Saved Christmas” will be aired in December 2014 and is produced by Universal Television. Rough Draft Animation (“The Simpsons Movie,” “Futurama”) will serve as the animation studio.

A 2007 British indie film starring Neve Campbell

->''"Take this food back to the customers or I will bludgeon you all to death!"''

No waitress ever describes themselves as a waitress. They call themselves things like a struggling actress, a writer, an artist, or a revolutionary.

It tells the story of five women working in a second-rate, rat-infested restaurant in London, and how they all have dreams of becoming something greater in life.
!!This film contains examples of these tropes:
* AxCrazy: Alice seemed to be on the verge of this, if the quote up there says anything.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Abi is fired, Rita quits, Alice realizes the book she worked on for six years is awful, they will likely never have a customer again after Abi's little peepshow. And yet it somehow manages to end on a hopeful note at the last second, because they all seemed to finally become friends.]]
* TheCameo [[spoiler: Danny Huston just waltzes in makes an old timey music video and vanishes as magically and mysteriously as possible.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Averted with Rita [[spoiler:who is simply striving to escape the dullness of everyday life.]] But Suzie seems to be a genuine example.
* CringeComedy
* FanService: [[spoiler:Abi's little vacation from sanity.]]
* HeroicBSOD [[spoiler: By the end of their shift, everyone except Suzie has had a mental breakdown of some kind.]]
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Pretty much the whole point of the film. You see them as just three waitresses, a cook, and a dishwasher. They see themselves as an artist, an actress, a novelist, and even a revolutionary. The only one who doesn't seem to have delusions of grandeur is Madonna.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Madonna.
* InelegantBlubbering Poor Alice..
* JerkAss: Abi, who only worries about her own needs, at all times.
* LethalChef Alice, who is in no way a chef, but simply was given a spatula, bonus pay, and shoved into the kitchen from hell.
* LovingAShadow: Abi has a celebrity crush on Danny Huston. She worries that he may not be as perfect as she imagines, but quickly brushes it off with the thought that he might fall madly in love with her.
* NerdGlasses: Madonna
* SliceOfLife: It was a nice way of seeing how stressful waitressing really can be.
* StraightGay: [[spoiler:Madonna]]
* TeamMom: Madonna tries so very, very hard to bring the employees together as a family, she is less than successful.
* YouJustToldMe [[spoiler: Madonna. Or should we say Jane?]]

Music: Smash Mouth

(from left to right) Kevin Coleman, Paul DeLisle, Steve Harwell, and Greg Camp

Smash Mouth is an alternative rock band that started in 1994 with Steve Harwell (lead vocals), Greg Camp (guitar), Paul De Lisle (bass) and Kevin Coleman (drummer), as well as a touring keyboardists and turntable operators. The core line-up has since changed a few times, but retains the original members Harwell, Camp and De Lisle.

Most famous for their album Astro Lounge and the hit single "All Star", a quintessential late-nineties party tune that became famous through its inclusion in films like Rat Race, Mystery Men and Shrek. Some of their less popular albums have also received high critical praise (such as their debut, Fush Yu Mang, which reached double platinum).

Their music is rock-pop sounding, with synthesizers and a few experimental elements in it as well, and a production heavily influenced by Surf Rock and Psychedelic Rock of The Sixties. Songs generally contain lyrics about the standard sex, drugs and rock and roll aspect that has prevailed in rock music over the ages, but they also satirize politics on occasion, if just a lyric or two in the song (see "Stoned," which pokes fun at then-President Bill Clinton's claims that he "did not inhale" marijuana).

After Astro Lounge was released, they went from being pretty underground to being popular, and drove away their original fan base.

Albums released:
  • Fush Yu Mang (1997)
  • Astro Lounge (1999)
  • Smash Mouth (2001)
  • Get the Picture? (2003)
  • The Gift of Rock (2005)
  • Summer Girl (2006)
  • Magic (2012)

Series: Caesar's Challenge

Short-lived NBC Game Show from 1993, most notably the last new daytime game on the network and the final new network daytime game ever until CBS revived Let's Make a Deal in 2009. The show was filmed on location at the Caesars Palace casino in Las Vegas, resulting in the show having an obvious Ancient Grome casino overtone, complete with a gladiator as co-host.

Even with the casino setting, the show was actually a word game, where three contestants competed to unscramble words from letters showing on the nine reels on a giant slot machine. Despite the similar looking board, this wasn't anything like the famous British word game Countdown; players answered trivia questions from a category related to the word to earn the right to reveal the correct position of one of the letters. Cash was awarded for each correct answer, plus a chance to solve the puzzle.

It's also the only game by Stephen J. Cannell Productions, better known for The Greatest American Hero, The A-Team, and Wiseguy.

Game Show Tropes in use:

  • Bonus Round: Two formats were used.
    • The first had letters drawn like lottery balls until nine letters that could form a word had been drawn, then Caesar said STOP, and the winner had 10 seconds to guess the word. Letters would be placed, much like the main game, one for each day the contestant has been the champion.
    • About halfway through the run, this changed to solving five words (each with one letter more than the last, starting at 5), slowly unscrambling themselves, in 30 seconds.
  • Balloon Drop: If the car was won.
  • Bonus Space: The "Lucky Slot"; pick the letter that appeared in the lit position and solve the puzzle immediately, win a progressive jackpot bonus that started each day at $500.
  • Game Show Winnings Cap: Theoretically eight days under the first bonus format, explicitly three under the second bonus format. Players retired immediately upon winning the car.
  • Personnel:
  • Show The Folks At Home: Sometimes at seemingly random times, Ahmad would keep the topic of the scrambled word from the contestants, in which case he'd say "Now, here's the topic for the home audience only".
  • Think Music: As the contestants studied the scrambled word. Another piece of music played during the second bonus game, which began slowly and rapidly sped up in tempo as time ran out.

This show provides examples of:

  • Carried by the Host: Ahmad's hosting style say the least. He made mistakes, and laughed in odd places a lot, yet still seemed in control and professional.
  • Catch Phrase: "Caesar says, STOP!", followed by Ahmad's "Caesar says 'Stop', so we do..."
  • Pilot: Taped in 1992, with a betting format for the maingame. Amusingly, the last word in the audience game was PILOT.
  • Scenery Porn: The Greek-influenced set can probably count as such.
  • Those Two Guys: Ahmad Rashād and the various Centurions (most recognizably Dan Doherty) would spend a few minutes with jokes and props before starting the game.

Video Game: ToeJam & Earl

Ouch, man. That's cold.

Supremely funky alien homeboys ToeJam and "Big" Earl, proud residents of the planet Funkotron, have crashlanded on the decidedly lame and non-funky planet of Earth. The impact, while leaving them unharmed, scattered pieces of their spacecraft all over the planet, and finding all of these pieces is the only way to get back home. Sounds simple in principle. The Earth's natives might be a bit of trouble, though...

ToeJam & Earl is a series of video games known mainly for its first entry, released in 1991 on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, although two more games exist. The first game, with the same name as the series, is an exploration-oriented Action Adventure game with an overhead perspective and (the option of) randomly-generated levels.

The sequels are ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron, an extremely different two-dimensional Platform Game released on the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1993, where the Duo has made it back home, only to find that several Earthlings have somehow stowed aboard, and are now causing Panic on Funkotron, and ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth, a three-dimensional Platform Game released on the Microsoft Xbox in 2002. They were also featured in Ready, Aim, Tomatoes!, a pack-in game with the Genesis's Menacer light-gun peripheral.

A beta of the third game was released, bearing many more similarities to the first game than the finished product.

In late February 2015, it was announced a new game in the series would be made called Back in the Groove, with Kickstarter funding to allow added features, by the game creator Greg Johnson, which as of March 25th has successfully been funded. Fund the Kickstarter here.

The series as a whole provides examples of:

  • Abnormal Ammo: The original game features tomatoes as the protagonists' weapon of choice. Panic on Funkotron features jars that capture enemies (though it takes multiple jars to weaken the enemy).
  • Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: In the first two games, ToeJam wears a white baseball cap, white gloves, a medallion, and white shoes. In Mission to Earth, he gains a white shirt and blue pants.
  • Aerith and Bob: Self explanatory.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: There are a few child enemy types in Panic on Funkotron, who attack with tomatoes, spitballs and kicking the player in the shins.
    • The shin-kicking child enemies return in Mission to Earth.
  • Cloudcuckooland: Earth is... a very strange place.
  • Cool Shades: Earl.
  • Co-Op Multiplayer
  • Drives Like Crazy: Earl.
  • Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Earl wears blue pants with red polka-dots, white tennis shoes, and sunglasses, but no shirt.
  • Earthlings Are Lame: For the most part. Some Earthlings will help you out for the right price.
  • Hyperactive Metabolism: Food items heal you to varying degrees, generally corresponding to the tastiness or richness of the food (e.g. a hot fudge sundae will heal you more than a bowl of cereal). Some food items in the first game will harm you instead; these take the form of rotten or health foods.
  • Little Girls Kick Shins: An enemy Earthling in the second and third games.
  • Mercy Invincibility: Or lack thereof. Can lead to several otherwise-innocuous enemies becoming Demonic Spiders.
  • Mondegreen: There were rumors that Toejam and Earl were originally named Flowjam and Whirl, but the man coding their names in misheard them and wrote in Toejam and Earl. Greg recently announced that this was not true, he was something of a Trolling Creator when tired during interviews.
  • Mooks but No Bosses: One of the few gameplay tropes shared between the original game and its sequel.
  • Multiplayer-Only Item: One of the presents available exclusively in a two-player game is called "Togetherness". When used, it brings the other player to the player who used it.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: At the end of the first game the guys are received as heroes for surviving a visit to the most dangerous planet in the known universe. That is, until it's discovered that a large number of Earthlings followed them back and are trashing Funkotron. ToeJam and Earl set out to solve the problem themselves seemingly to avoid being punished for it.
    • Also the reaction a character has when the other opens a "Total Bummer!" while they're both on the same screen, meaning they both die instantly. "Nice going."
  • NPC: Helpful Earthlings include the Wizard, who will fully heal you for a buck; the Wise Carrot, who will tell you the contents of a given present in your inventory for two bucks; the Opera Singer, who will kill all enemies on the screen with her voice for three; and Santa Claus, who will drop presents from his sack if you can sneak up on him.
    • ''Panic on Funkotron also has various recurring Funkotronians who will give the player hints on where to find secret areas.
  • Our Monsters Are Weird: The series almost rivals Earthbound for the amount of silly, bizarre enemy types.
  • Oxygen Meter: Your life bar drains while you're underwater, but it replenishes to what it was when you climb out (or refills when you die and respawn in the water). Use an Inner Tube to avoid having to hold your breath.
    • The sequel provides an actual Oxygen Meter, which can be replenished either by surfacing or finding certain fish to kiss and steal air from.
  • Produce Pelting: Tomatoes are a surprisingly popular weapon. Even some enemies get in on it.
  • Secret Level: In the first game, the very first level has a hidden entrance to a level 0, where ToeJam and Earl can get extra lives and chat with some cuties in a hot tub. Getting to the entrance requires a lot of swimming (or Icarus Wings or Rocket Skates), so the players must first acquire some appropriate presents to reach it without drowning. Leaving the secret level returns the players to the highest level they've reached so far.
    • The sequel has numerous secret rooms (usually containing loads of presents, health items, or one of the Funkopotamus' favorite things.)
  • Starfish Aliens: Earl looks relatively humanoid, but Toejam has three legs and two eyestalks with no head. A few of the other residents of Funkotron are equally bizarre-looking.
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill: Despite some Earthlings having no such compunctions, any direct attacks Toejam & Earl have are non-lethal (except maybe exploiting a bit of Video Game Cruelty Potential) with tomato-throwing in the first game, trapping humans in jars and shipping them back to Earth in the second and "funkafying" them in the third.
  • Totally Radical: It would be hard to find someone in Real Life who uses the games' peculiar blend of slang without irony.
  • Video Game Cruelty Potential: You can steal presents from Santa in the first game. In Panic on Funkotron, you can drive your neighbors to distraction by continually ringing their doorbell, but unlike stealing presents it serves no practical purpose.
    • In Mission to Earth you can shove humans off into Bottomless Pits, even after you've converted them, and even if they were never hostile to begin with.

The first ToeJam & Earl provides examples of:

  • Alcohol Hic: Guzzle a Root Beer and the boys will spend a few seconds burping as they walk around. This can awaken sleeping humans.
  • Arc Words: "Funk" is easily the series' favorite word, and shows up repeated in numerous contexts.
  • Bad Humor Truck: One of the enemies. Worse, it's a ghost ice cream truck that teleports around.
  • Blah Blah Blah: If you jump into the hot tub with the two Wahinis on Level 0, Toejam and/or Earl will talk with them, exclusively depicted with random utterances of "chat", "giggle" and "titter".
  • A Boy, a Girl, and a Baby Family: At the end of the game, ToeJam is revealed to have two younger twin sisters and a baby sibling of an indeterminate gender in his family.
  • Cartography Sidequest: In the first game, you acquire (experience) points for every map tile you uncover.
  • Chest Monster: Variation: the dreaded Mailbox Monster, who will totally send you to Lamerville if it gets you. Less notable are the Earthling presents which may or may not summon harmful enemies.
  • Comedic Underwear Exposure: Earl's shorts occasionally fall and he has to stop to pull them up. A rare example of this trope as a gameplay mechanic. (Incidentally, his underwear is almost identical to his pants.)
  • Cutscenes: In the first game, when traveling in the elevator to the next level while in Two-Player mode, you can hear a conversation by ToeJam & Earl, with hilarious results.
  • Depraved Dentist: One of the enemies.
  • Everything Is Even Worse With Sharks: If a shark gets close, you'll hear a quick snippet of the Jaws theme as a warning.
  • Experience Points: Earned by opening presents and flipping over map tiles. Your levels expand your health bar.
  • Fake Balance: Earl has a little more health, but screw that, walking faster is a huge asset in this game. The difference between the two is pretty slight so it doesn't matter much.
  • Floating Continent: Each level in the original is a piece of land floating in a void. If you drop off the edge, you will land in the previous level, implying that they are arranged in a vertical stack. Try falling off the bottom-left corner of Level 1.
  • Fragile Speedster: ToeJam is faster than Earl but has a shorter life bar.
  • Healing Spring: The hot tub on level 0 replenishes all your health.
  • Idle Animation: If you leave them idle too long, they'll actually fall asleep. You then have to mash the buttons a bunch of times to have a disembodied voice yell at them to wake up.
  • MacGuffin: The ten spaceship parts in the first game and Lamont the Funkopatomus's 12 Sacred Albums of Funk in the third. The second has Lamont's ten favorite things, which aren't necessary to complete the game, but are to get the Golden Ending.
  • Medium Awareness: In the first game, the characters introduce themselves and explain the entire situation to the player.
  • Mighty Glacier: Earl is slower than ToeJam and his pants fall down occasionally, slowing you down, but has a longer life bar.
  • One-Hit Kill: The "Total Bummer" present will drain your character's entire life bar in one go.
  • Parrot Exposition: All Earl does in the intro (outside of the flashback) is just repeat things that Toejam just said.
  • Personal Rain Cloud: It's a nuisance.
  • Poison Mushroom: Some presents have intentionally bad effects, such as the Schoolbook, Randomizer, and Total Bummer.
    • There is a literal mushroom that, if eaten, will take a significant portion of the characters' health.
    • The rain cloud is a classic example. You open a present just to have a rain cloud follow you around, giving you a nigh-unavoidable shock for slight damage every so often.
    • The Total Bummer just kills you upon opening it, no questions asked.
  • Power-Up Letdown: Opening new presents is always a gamble, and about 25% of the time it's a harmful present. Even useful presents opened at the wrong time can set you back. Opening Rocket Skates can potentially send you back several levels.
  • Press X to Die: Opening an identified "Total Bummer" present would qualify. Best to drop them right away lest you wind up opening it accidentally.
  • Quicksand Sucks: The protagonists will sink in sand, but not far enough to suffocate; their movement just slows the farther they sink. And it's more like desert sand (including cacti!) than quicksand.
  • Roguelike: Partial use. The first game is not a true roguelike, but it has elements of one in that it has two gameplay modes, Random World and Fixed World. In Random World, each level is randomly generated, along with the enemies therein and the locations of presents. In Fixed World, all of these things have set forms and locations.
    • Also, you have to climb up floors, you gain experience points, and presents are challenging to identify. Lots of the presents are bad, including one little SOB that re-randomizes all the presents, including itself!
  • RPG Elements: There are nine player rankings. Which ranking you currently have is based on your score, which is primarily increased by opening presents and exploring more of the map. "Wiener", as seen in the screenshot above, is the lowest ranking.
  • Shout-Out: When ToeJam and Earl use the super hi-tops long enough, they will say "Meep Meep".
  • Sneeze of Doom: Though it's incredibly rare, ToeJam and Earl may sneeze when sneaking past sleeping enemies or attempting to surprise Santa, ruining the attempt.
  • Split Screen: When ToeJam and Earl get far enough apart in the first game, the screen splits so they can split up and search individually. They can even be on entirely different levels (although the higher player won't be able to advance further until the lower player catches up.)
  • Sprint Shoes
  • Squashed Flat: Happens rather frequently, either as a result of attacks by certain Earthlings or when your own partner lands on top of you.
  • Standard Status Effects: Quite a few. Schoolbooks put you to sleep, which makes you helpless to enemy attacks, forcing you to button mash your way to being awake. Wahini will make you do a dance if you get too close to her, slowing you down. Cupids fire arrows which make you lovestruck. Finally, the Rain Cloud will randomly drain your health with lightning bolts.
  • Take That: If you make it to the end of the original game, there is a secret area on Funkotron with a single female alien who says "No hedgehogs round here."
  • Too Awesome to Use: Players might be tempted to hoard the most choice presents in the game.
  • Unidentified Items: Presents are initially unidentified. Though, since all presents of the same design contain the same item or effect, using one automatically identifies any identical ones (whether in the player's inventory or on the ground). The "man in the carrot suit" is a randomly-appearing NPC who can identify a present for a few dollars. This is important because one of the effects is the Randomizer, which unidentifies all presents and scrambles the design-effect relationships!
  • What Does This Button Do?: The characters exchange comedic banter in the elevator rides between levels in two-player mode. One skit has Earl asking this and ToeJam stopping him before they get in even more trouble.

ToeJam & Earl: Panic on Funkotron provides examples of:

  • Alien Invasion: Inverted; It's the aliens who are trying to fend off an Earthling invasion.
  • Batman Can Breathe in Space: The Earthlings got to Funkotron by clinging to the sides of ToeJam and Earl's ship through space.
  • Big Eater: Bloona is always seen eating something (and she's always trying to force feed Peabo candy as well.)
  • Blinding Camera Flash: The game features Hawaiian Shirted Tourists who use their camera flash as a weapon.
  • Brick Joke: Near the start of the game, the duo can ring the doorbell on a house, causing the owner to come out and ask if they're there to fix the plumbing. In the Playable Epilogue, they run across the same house and the owner asks the same question, prompting them to point out that they've done this already.
  • Bonus Stage: The Hyper Funk Zone.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Flarney, thanks to having two heads, meaning he can never make up his mind about anything and tends to give fairly unhelpful hints as a result.
  • Context-Sensitive Button : Ducking while a tourist is on screen makes Toe Jam and Earl cover their eyes from the flash. Ducking while the Flying Duck is near makes Toe Jam and Earl dive for cover.
  • Deliberately Monochrome: Stages will occasionally turn monochrome thanks to the Funk draining out of Funkotron, causing the player's Funk meter to bottom out until the color returns.
  • Easy-Mode Mockery: "Lil' Kids" mode makes it impossible to die, but ends the game after level five, thus robbing players of the chance to collect the Funkopotamus' favorite things and get the good ending.
  • Enemy Detecting Radar: Part of the HUD includes an arrow that points to the nearest Earthling (turning into a flashing red circle if they're somewhere on-screen.) When all Earthlings are captured, it points to the rocket at the end of the level, instead.
  • Everything Sensor: The Funk Radar, which detects anything that's hidden on-screen, including presents, secret doors and Earthlings.
  • Every 10,000 Points
  • Fisher King: Lamont the Funkopotamus, the source of all Funk in Funkotron. When the invading humans scare him into hiding in the Funk D'mension, all Funk starts to slowly fade from the planet.
  • Getting Crap Past the Radar: One fiery area is called "Hot and Bothered".
  • Goggles Do Nothing: The fact that Earl wears sunglasses doesn't make him any safer from enemies with flashbulbs.
  • Golden Ending: Finishing the game with all ten of the Funkopotamus' favorite things triggers the best ending, where the Funkopotamus returns to his throne of Funk.
  • Guide Dang It: Collecting the Funkopotamus's favorite things.
  • Infinity+1 Sword: By completing six perfect runs of the Hyper Funk Zone, you get unlimited superjars for the rest of the game.
  • Invincibility Power-Up: The Panic Button, which causes the player to run wildly without taking damage and while hurling jars everywhere.
  • Mana Meter: The Funk meter, which powers the Funk Move and Funk Radar.
  • Mood-Swinger: Sharla. She's always crying, but whether she's crying tears of joy or tears of happiness seems to change on a whim.
  • Naked People Are Funny: One of the enemies is a seemingly-naked guy in a cardboard box who sings "Figaro!"
  • Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: One of the enemies is a ghost cow.
  • Non-Indicative Name: The "Funkopotamus" looks more like a tiny googly-eyed lizard.
  • Official Couple: Bloona and Peabo by the end of the game. Also ToeJam/Earl and Leshawna in the best ending, depending on who the player is controlling (if it's a co-op game, she introduces her never-before seen identical twin sister for the second player.)
  • One-Hit Kill: Super Jars can trap an Earthling with a single hit.
  • Our Mermaids Are Different: Trixie is some kind of green alien mermaid who appears when the player finds one of her Super Secret Funk Orbs, granting the duo a power-up (like unlimited coins, unlimited Funk-Vacs, or double the gains on presents) that lasts until the end of the level.
  • Overly Long Gag: Pleading with the Funkopotamus to come out.
    "Please?" "No." [repeats 15 times]
  • Pair the Spares: Leshawna officially hooks up with ToeJam in the Golden Ending in co-op mode, while Earl is introduced to her identical twin sister.
  • People Jars: ToeJam and Earl use their trap-o-matic jars to catch the Earthlings invading Funkotron. It takes several to successfully capture one of them.
  • Playable Epilogue: Pretty much everything after "The Final Battle" could count. The only fight after that is against one last group of enemies that can't directly damage you.
  • Power Up Let Down: One of Trixie's level-long power-ups is giving the player immediate max jumping height on jump pads. Not only does it not take that long to reach max height on your own (unless you really suck at the timing) but it also gets really annoying when you find that you can't stop jumping.
  • Rambling Old Man Monologue: Otis is rather fond of these.
  • Rhythm Game: The "Jam Out" sessions, where the player can basically play Simon Says for more Funk.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Smoot is a total narcissist.
  • Smart Bomb: The Funk-Vac in Panic on Funkotron.
  • Twin Switch: Chester and Lester love to pull this. Only one of them is ever seen on-screen at a time, and them constantly flip-flopping on who the duo is talking to becomes a Running Gag. At the end of the game, they ask if Chester and Lester really are twins or just one person who's been screwing with everyone this whole time. The answer: Yes.
  • You Shouldn't Know This Already: Even if you try to cheat and get to the secret rooms where the Funkopatomus' favorite things are held without getting the proper NPC hints first, the hidden doors won't actually appear until you're told where they are.

ToeJam & Earl: Mission to Earth provides examples of:

About Friendship Is Magic: I'm sure Celestia could kick all kinds of flank in theory, but it's not much good using examples of how she a) supposedly got the upper hand verbally by making someone go "you're boring" and b) lost a battle. Also, is she really adorable or more just regal? And Spike: "tripped someone before he lost the fight" doesn't make you badass.

Seriously, to people editing about this show: You're not supposed to find a character trope and then find a way to fit every single character into it by some excuse. (Of course, with this trope it comes pretty close.)
06:17:10 PM Mar 21st 2013
It's not just that Spike tripped up one of the dogs, it's that he took on three of them at a time. They got away with Rarity anyway, but I think you're setting the bar a little too high.

I'd say he was plucky or something, not badass. (I mentioned the tripping because someone has described that part by saying he "slammed down" a bigger opponent.) I suppose it's ultimately subjective, but all he did was try and not succeed. Bad Ass is supposed to be impressive, not being pushed down into the ground to your waste with one finger.

Jeffrey is a blind puppy whose brother Jermaine has become his guide dog

Nov 21, 2013 By Rob Toledo

z - Blind Pup

Jeffrey and Jermaine are 8-month-old puppies and brothers who ended up as strays in  Philadelphia’s Operation Ava shelter.

Jeffrey happens to be blind, which could easily mean trouble for the lovable pup. However, never fear, his brother Jermaine has learned to be his “seeing eye dog.”

Check these two adorable pups out…

    Must everybody keep moving, waving, and jiggling the camera? It’s very annoying. I wish they had shown the sighted dog actually helping out the blind dog somewhere in this video.

Summit continues to Pimp out Twilight Craze: Blu-Ray Discs to be offered exclusively at Best Buy and Target in artificially limited quantities

According to Video Business, Summit is planning to curb the availability of the Twilight Blu-Ray Disc by making it available ONLY at Tar-zhay and Best Buy on March 21st; all other suckers retailers will have to wait until May 5th.

"The studio continues to build a unique launch strategy for the film that involves limiting the availability of certain SKUs. Retail access to a single-disc standard-defintion version of Twilight will be restricted to rental stores and a very limited sell-through account base, which Summit has declined to detail."

"The studio declined to give the exact reason for curbing the initial availability of Twilight on Blu-ray. Nearly all major theatrical hits now launch widely on both standard-definition DVD and Blu-ray on the same date."

You can read the rest of the article here. Artificially limiting the availability of product SKUs is something that Nintendo has successfully done in the past to inflate demand for their products. While I completely understand why Summit is taking full-advantage of this lucrative opportunity to milk Twilight fans' insatiable appetite for all things Twilight, it's totally annoying and greedy. Just sayin'!

[Twisted-Python] Deferring execution to a specific thread

Sorin C. soso_pub at yahoo.com
Sat May 1 08:22:40 EDT 2004

Hello everybody,

I looked at twisted interaction with threads but I
couldn't find a way to defer execution to a specific
thread. I need this because I have exactly one
connection (no more connections possible) to the
database and all database operations have to be placed
in the same thread.
Is there a way to handle situations like this? Any
suggestion appreciated.

2002-2004 Undergraduate Catalog
Next Previous Contents Search UA

[Student Records and General Academic Policies]

Transferability and applicability of college credits. Transferability refers to the conditions under which the University accepts credits from other postsecondary institutions for inclusion in the student's record. Applicability of credit toward a degree refers to the prerogative of the academic divisions to count specific credit toward the fulfillment of a student's degree requirements.

Applicability of credit toward the degree. Transfer credit will be applied as appropriate to a student's degree program. The authority to apply transferred credit toward degree requirements rests with the academic division of the student's intended major.

If a student chooses to transfer to another academic division within the University, credit previously earned at another postsecondary institution will be reevaluated and applied as appropriate to the student's new degree program.

Transfer students will have no more transfer credit applied to the degree than they would have been permitted to earn in the division of the University into which they are admitted.

A maximum of 60 semester hours of two-year college credit will be applied toward graduation requirements. If a student transfers less than 60 hours at the time of the initial enrollment at The University of Alabama, additional two-year college credit may be transferred later. Once 60 credit hours have been accumulated from all sources, no more than 12 additional semester hours may be transferred from a two-year college. The additional transfer courses must be equivalent to 100- or 200-level courses at The University of Alabama.

Transfer students who earn a grade of "D" on transferable courses may apply these courses to their degree requirements. All transferable coursework will be included in the student's grade point average, but only transfer courses with a grade of "D" or higher will be allowed to meet subject requirements and degree requirements.

Any transferable course with a grade of "D" or higher is acceptable at The University of Alabama with the exception of English composition and introductory math courses. Specific math courses where a "D" grade in transfer will NOT be accepted are as follows: MATH 100, MATH 103, MATH 110, MATH 112, MATH 113, and MATH 115.

The policies and procedures of UA's academic divisions for determining grade point average and applying transferred credit are discussed in each division's section of this catalog.

Keeping Current with the USSC - Part Four

In Part Three we examined BNA United States Law Week and its well-regarded Supreme Court Today feature. This is a wonderful source but it comes with a price tag. What if you can’t or don’t want to pay?

The free alternative to US Law Week is the SCOTUS Blog and SCOTUS Wiki. This is the brainchild of Tom Goldstein, a partner at Akin Gump. Like Law Week, SCOTUS Blog offers national legal news. But, as serious blog, this news can be delivered by RSS feed on a daily basis. SCOTUS does not have the same size of reporting staff as BNA but they do a great job. Since the Akin Gump name is on the line you can see that they would be careful about the kinds of stories they would post.

There are several user friendly features in the tabs across the top of the main page: Orders and Opinions, New Filings, and Term Tracker. There are two additional features that will make your job of following the Court much easier. Petitions to Watch highlights interesting cases up for consideration at the Justice’s conferences throughout the term. You should also follow Commentary and Analysis that gives insight into issues and cases facing the Court. Look for the daily Today at the Court feature (this is the one for October 9th) that recaps the day’s activities and the Round-up feature (this is the one for the whole week) that does the same.

But for serious Court watchers the best feature is the link to the SCOTUS Wiki. On the Wiki you can find a complete review of the cases pending or recently heard by the Court. If we follow the link to Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission you will see links to the Docket, the original Circuit Court opinion, the Merit Briefs, and the Amicus Briefs. In an appropriate case there is a link to the Petition for Certiorari. These are scanned copies of the original documents actually on file with the Court. Scroll down the page to find Pre-Argument Articles, Argument Preview, and, when the case has been heard, Oral Argument Recap, Opinion Analysis and links to other online sources such as the Oral Argument Transcript. These features are closely edited by the Wiki editorial staff.

In the history of the world there have been many titanic battles for dominance: King Kong v. Godzilla, Red Sox v. Yankees, Alien v. Predator. And now: US Law Week v. SCOTUS Blog. In the Throwdown, one person’s opinion about which one wins.

Formula One

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia

Revision as of 07:58, November 21, 2012 by (talk)

Jump to: navigation, search

F1 car. It's better than yours.

~ Murray Walker on Nigel Mansell
“How the hell did that short ass guy get that girl?”
~ anyone watching F1 on TV
“He's in front of everyone except every other driver”
~ Murray Walker on Nelson Piquet

Formula One, also known as Formula 1 or F1 and referred to officially as the FIA Formula One World Championship is a 360 km/h badass motor sport which was once very cool, but now has so many rules that the drivers are now no longer allowed to smoke behind the wheel.

The "Formula" designation refers to the type of drugs which are considered legal by the operator of that formula, and the sport as seen a change in tolerance over the years. In the early days of the formula drivers injected class A drugs such as heroin, or crack while using 6 wheels and a rocket motor, but now they are banned for eating ripe bananas, or leaning too much one way whilst driving. Today it all belongs to Bernie Ecclestone, and no one really understands why.[1]

Formative Years

Formula One originally began as Grand Prix Racing in the early 1950s, where teams of local car enthusiasts would meet outside the shopping centre in Paris and perform laps of the car park. Races were lengthy, boring, and often dangerous, blood and low fat milk was often spilt in the ummm...excitement. The sport surely would have died its death had Bernard 'Bernie' Ecclestone not pumped large amounts of money into the upkeep of the car park. He then spread his business empire to build up other car parks and turn them into Formula One Race circuits. Now where once were girls and drugs, drivers today can earn more money in one race than the annual GDP of Somalia.

The biggest factor in the survival of the sport was the introduction of on-car advertising. Teams before that run in their national colours: Italy was red for their fiery tempers, Germany were silver as they had money and France ran out in blue (or white, depending on their level of confidence that day). The British team Bulldog Churchill raced in Cigar Ash Grey until the tissue manufacturers Kleenex (American owned) got the idea to advertise their newest range on the nose of the vehicle and paint it the colour of mucus. Although Kleenex later pulled out of the deal when driver Stirling Moss lost his nose after a collision with a shopping trolley, the British team kept the car colour and dubbed it "British Racing Snot Green".

Modern F1

An accident on the pre-training in a F1 Circuit. Unfortunately, Button was injured.

Modern F1 retains some elements of its early roots, namely that the cars have wheels and are still plastered with advertising, otherwise is a completely different. Some of the participants are even black for example. The only discrimination is against Japanese drivers driving a car that has a chance to win a race.

The motorsport now takes in over 20 different locales as the season unfolds, and after five decades of fatal crashes, safety is now of paramount concern. Each driver is wrapped in cotton wool before racing and the cars now drive themselves in a slow procession around circuits full of chicanes. Overtaking is considered ungentlemanly conduct and most drivers attempting an overtaking manoeuvre will be black-flagged and banned from racing for the rest of the season.

The lengthy qualifying sessions of yesteryear have been replaced by a system of drawing short straws and any remaining element of excitement danger will soon be eliminated, when next season the teams will race without tyres or engines, and will rely on the stamina of the pit-crew as they push the car around the circuit.

Race Format

A Formula One car undergoing post-race inspection.

When teams arrive for a Grand Prix meeting, there is a series of events leading up to the actual race that must be performed. On the Friday of race weekend, a press conference is held that allows the drivers to brag, boast and generally trash-talk to one another for the entertainment of the watching fans while lots of hot girls wander around in the background.

Following the press conference, the first round of qualifying begins on Saturday mornings. Qualifying is a very simple procedure based on a combination of a driver's past performance, popularity, a foot race, and a random drug tests.

Afterwards, everyone climbs into their cars and drives around for a bit. This move was implemented to deal with criticism over the fact that a foot race (usually to the nearest bar).

The race itself is usually run over fifty laps, and during the race, all drivers are required to make three compulsory pit stops: one to change the tyres, one to refuel, and one so that the driver can take a piss.

At the end of the race, trophies are awarded to the first place driver - (usually Shoemaker) - who will then do a victory dance and spray something that looks like champagne and smells like champagne, but tastes like something else entirely over everyone. No-one knows what it is, but it does come from France.

Points are awarded at the end of each race based on who scored with the most grid girls. The overall winner is the person who has picked up the most during the season, which is why most teenage boys seriously consider it as a career choice, and also explains why it is so difficult for new drivers to break into the circuit.

Following the feud between F1 organisers and drivers over tyres, nearly all the teams have dropped out of the competition. The remaining teams are as follows:

Ferrero Rocher

Italian-based team who were among the original competitors in the first Grand Prix season. Ferrero moved into a period of dominance in the late 1990s which lasted until the 2005 season when they forgot to develop a new car and repeatedly drew the short straw in qualifying. Then they went on to making chocolates for a living.

Allegations of bribery, cheating and favouritism from the governing Ferrero International Assistance (FIA) have been rife, and after paying lots of money they have become the lovechild of the worlds medai. Unable to do anything wrong in the eyes of the press, their bad habits have gone unpunished forever, as they have boxes of money and gifts at the ready if there is even the slightest hint that someone is about to say something negative about them.

Rental F1 Team

Rental F1 in the early days.

A French team famous for running rental cars instead of racing cars. Owing to the global recession, Rental have had to substitute a double-World Champion driving the Formula 1 equivalent of an armoured limousine in favour of a top-secret Russian spy driving a Lada Niva. Their cars are painted bright yellow with red highlights, though some claim this is just rust.

Alsö Rann

Finnish team who recently went into administration before being bought out by another Finnish team who were about to go into administration. Their best finish was in the 1993 season when they finished bottom of the Constructors Table after an administrative error handed them a point.

B.A.R. H.U.M.B.U.G.

Once known as MARRS for pumping up the noise volume when racing in the 1980s, BAR HUMBUG change their name every year. Team BAR are notable for living under the illusion that they actually stand a chance against Ferrero Rocher, despite showing up to the pre-season test with a six-year-old car. Their Honda engines are very reliable but Wong Wei over-revs them a wee bit too far. Will race in 2012 as BAR REFAELI in the hope of attracting Israeli missile technology.

Kubi crash

Kubicer, taking an unusual racing line in Nova Scotia, Canada

Williams F1

Williams is one of the oldest and most prestigious teams in Formula One which collectively spends most of their time complaining that it is impossible to compete with teams who have more money than them. Despite having won 122 races since their foundation in 1980, they have failed to finish a race since 1987. Their most successful period came when Williams shaved a bear and raced him in the 1980 World Championship.

Dead Bull Racing

An Austrian-owned racing team funded by the proceeds of the liquid caffeine made from draining the bladders of dead bulls sold by its parent company. Due to contractual obligations, the team's drivers are obligated to consume the energy drink at every opportunity.

Toro Rosso Merda

Drivers are expected to tailgate Israeli model BAR RAFAELI in the new season.

Formerly known as Minnow Racing. Bought by Red Bull to increase sales of their drink in Italy. Their cars have a tendency to shed gearboxes and wheels during a race.

Sexiest cars on the grid. Even their motorhomes exude erotica. Car livery is usually black with a lacy undercarriage to avoid scrutiny. Called various names before, none of them very nice. Always promise to win every race but fade away quickly like cheap perfume.

Mercedes Silver Dream Boy Racers

Originally known as Mercedes-Brawn before the name got changed. Big, hard and fast, their original name really said it all. Mercedes-Brawn favoured sheer power over outright tactics - or brawn over brains - and their cars were designed around the concept of an anvil, or perhaps a battering ram. But the days when the opposition preferred to drive into advertising hoardings to avoid going up against the team are now gone. Michael Schumacher is there in the team but is obviously just cruising around for his pension. The other team driver Nico Roseberg (son of Keke 'Kinky' Roseberg) wishes he was driving a Porsche.

Named after a long dead Australian, EH! sorry I meant New Fucking Zealander called Bruce McLaren. It was the team Ayrton Senna once raced for. Earlier car designs imitated a packet of cigarettes on wheels. McLaren-Motormouth in receipt of mystery funds. Considered the 'British team' on the grid. Current drivers are Nicole Scherzinger's boyfriend and Buttons from Cinderella Pantomime Touring.

Sinister Foreign Investment Group Racing

A consortium of bankers, philosophers and men of science who decided to purchase a Formula One team after the departure of BMW-Sour. 'SFIGR's exact identities are unknown, but if world domination is their goal, they are probably in the wrong industry and that the four hundred million dollars they spent on buying the team would be better off spent on some nuclear weapons if they want to be taken seriously.[2]

Sauber Sheep Racing

One of the most unique teams in the paddock as it is run only by sheep. It is also the only team that runs on fermented grass fuel. Former sheep racing (the sport, not the team) racer Shawn Sauber runs the team. He celebrated the launch of the first chassis (Baaah-01) by hosting a day of sheep racing tournaments at the Circus Baaahximus in Manchester. Despite running an inferior fuel and lack of aerodynamic features (including a tail) they surprisingly did well in their first year in F1, especially when the cars were on the grass as more grip was available due to their uniquely designed hoof based wheel arrangement.

There is always a joke team at the back of the grid. Last year it was HRT [3] Hysteria but they have now been cured. Self-Catering are a tight team in self- sponsored overalls. They operate a rent-a-drive policy for racers. Last year two of their drivers were yanked out during a race when their credit cards were rejected when fitting new tyres.

New Regulations

McLaren F1 car

Proposed new vehicle.

At the end of the 2012 season, critics and pundits alike noticed that the racing had produced exactly the same result as the championship in 2010, and 2011. It was decided that a raft of new changes was to be introduced. These were so successful that Red Bull began to win everything. New rules for 2012.

Backseats: The most important rule change will come in mid season, in which the cars must have backseats with two 7-year olds who won't share a packet of crisps, who will constantly ask if they are there yet and will spray Tango orange in the drivers eyes randomly and without warning.

Metals: A typographical error on a press release initially described the championship as operating under a "medals" system, with drivers being awarded a gold, silver or bronze medal for their efforts. In reality, this should have read "metals", as winning drivers will be awarded heavy metals at the end of each event which they will then be required to wear for the duration of the next event in an effort to slow them down.

Design: The design of the cars has been altered for 2012 in an attempt to promote passing. Gone are the aerodynamic aids that one meant the cars could outrun Flash Gordon, instead, they have been replaced by wheels taken from a shopping trolley and a rear wing that must be at least as tall as the driver of the car, making driving under low clearance signs at the Ful Kar Park circuit impossible. The cars have been fitted with stepped noses to make them look cute like the Duck-Billed Platypus.

Qualifying: Qualifying has been amended for 2012. While the grid is still decided on past performance, tea leaves, popularity, and random chance, the drivers now run the foot race while being chased by a rabid polar bear or Tom Cruise if a polar bear is neither rabid enough nor close at hand.

CURRS: Combating Undertalented Relations Racing System' is a new piece of technology introduced in the 2009 season. The basic premise is when a relation of a quality driver steps in the car it automatically ejects them using a burst of pneumatic air from the seat. Different from KERS (see below).

Drag Reduction System: Known as the DRS, the Drag Reduction System is an initiative introduced to counteract rampant incidents of cross-dressing in the sport.

Racing Terminology

As Formula One is a complicated monotony, the FIA have put out a guide to the sport in an effort to explain it to fans both new and old, as old fans are forgetful, frequently tuning in to races in spite of the fact that there was no excitement in the previous race and thus it is unlikely anything has changed. With this in mind, the FIA published the guide to Formula One in the latest edition of Masochist's Monthly as it is clear that the fans enjoy being in pain if they can tune into the races as frequently as they do.

Pole Position: Pole Position is the first position on the startig grid. In order to decide who starts from this coverted place, the entire nation of Poland is asked who should start there, hence the name.

Chequered Flag: The chequered flag is waved to signify the end of the race. Traditionally, it was waved to the first driver to cross the line; however, it has since come to be associated with the person who has the biggest cheque book, and thus can bribe the officials more than anyone else. See also Chequered Career.[4]

Saftey Car: Just when it gets interesting with cars crashing into each other, out comes the nancy pants 'Safety Car'. Driven by doctors, it always carries a fresh supply of prophylactics in case of a sexual emergency. It also includes a change of underwear for anyone who needs it.

Overtaking: Cars with rented Ferrari engines are not allowed to overtake the Ferrari works team drivers. Toro Rosso cars are expected to run wide when followed by a Red Bull. Every lead team are expected to run into the back of a slow coach just once in a season to show that no races are fixed.

A screenshot from upcoming game F1 Legends, featuring drivers from F1 past, present and future.

Pit Stop: During the race, all drivers make pit stops, which gives the team an opportunity to fix the car up after the driver undoubtedly planted it in the wall. It is so named because commentators during the first race that pitstops were introduced wanted to promote a family-friendly attitude after accidentally tuning into a radio in time to hear the driver shout "I need a piss pot!"

Gravel Trap: Gravel traps line the circuits, usually sitting inconspicuously after each corner. Officially, they are there to slow the cars down if they go off the circuit, but don't let the FIA fool you. Gravel is the natural enemy of a Formula One car, as the cars are designed to be driven on bitumen, not dirt. Thus, the gravel lies in wait, cunningly disguised as a safety device and waiting for its prey to slide off and into their sandy maws.

Rumble Strip: Rumble strips are another hazard for the car, lining the inside of each and every corner. If a driver happened to cross one of them, the rumble strips will cause his car to vibrate violently to the point where it is in danger of falling apart.

Kers: Kers stands for kangaroo-energy-release-system and is used when a car is too slow, and needs to go faster, so incinerates a kangaroo in order to release energy from it's dying screams. Unfortunately the enviro-mental-ists have had their say, so teams can only kill one kangaroo per lap.

DRS: With just the push of a button, this system will make half of the car's rear wing magically disappear. For some reason, this actually makes your car faster than a Bugatti Veyron with a top fuel drag racer engine on LSD.

2012 Calendar

A typical, Tilke-designed circuit. Note the lack of straights.

The 2012 championship starts off in Australia and will finish in Brazil. Bahrain got missed out last year with crowd trouble (wrong kind of Muslims according to the authorities). For petrol heads these are the races to look out for (except viewers in Britain who will now have to pay Sky TV to watch it live as the BBC are broke).

Australia Grand Prix. First race. Let's see who has been cheating over the winter break. There is always at least one team. Current holders are Red Bull. A street circuit so drivers will have to avoid the barbecue on turn 3. Half naked Sheilas may also distract and cause collisions.

Malaysia Grand Prix. Some cars will crash for sure here. Not all due to mechanical failure/driver stupidity. Cash bets before race. Because it rains badly.

Chinese Grand Prix. Those going over the racing line can expect to be shot after the race.

Bahrain Grand Prix. Cars may have trouble finding the grid if too many bodies are found in the pits.

Spanish Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso hot favourite to win here. No one will work in Spain for another two weeks (advise leave before the end of the race).

On his way to victory at Ful Kar Park.

Monaco Grand Prix. Another street circuit, this one paved with gold. Crowds kept away, only the rich can watch this. Drivers like this circuit as they all live their as tax exiles and can be home in five minutes.

Canadian Grand Prix. Also known as the Quebec Grand Prix as only the French Canadians like this sport there. Lot of molson sunk. Race on an island to keep the dirtier drivers off the clean streets of Montreal.

European Grand Prix. Formula One give broke Spain another Grand Prix, a street circuit in Valencia this time. Unemployed Spanish will form the human barriers to allow cars bounce along the circuit undamanged.

British Grand Prix. A lot of Formula One teams are still based in Britain. The English can make cars but as in the tradition of Rolls Royce, ones only for the expensive set. The locals are just grateful to be let in to watch and breathe in the fumes. No £10.00 congestion charge this year.

German Grand Prix (Nurbgurberurbergergrergrurebrur Burger King). Formerly known as "Nur Buggering", the gargantuan circuit was opened in 1997 as the Newcastle Grand Prix, then renamed in 1999 and relocated piece by piece to some remote spot in Germany. Its most notable feature is the notorious "Kentuckyfried Chicane" at which several drivers have been killed in a very comical fashion.

Hungarian Grand Prix. Always looked on as the Magyar Mouse Circuit. Grand Prix teams like going here for the joys of Budapest (apparently there are plenty of those).

Belgian Grand Prix (Spaz). Spaz is hailed by many as the championship's finest circuit (mostly because the track owners took out a restraining order against Hermann Tilke after he insisted on modifying it), and it is once again the venue for the Belgian GP.

Italian Grand Prix. Italians are never trusted to drive a Ferrari as they go all blubbery with the honour. Fanatical crowds don't care, as long as it is quick and red, they will mob a driver who comes through for them. They even loved Michael Schumacher in his day and that is saying a lot.

Singapore Grand Prix. Micheal Schumacher World crashing track, where he sucks at turning corners... coz too hard to see

Japanese Grand Prix. If drivers hear a big rumble out to sea, expect to see the fastest getaways towards the exit gate.

Korean Grand Prix. As with Bahrain, the Grand Prix may be interrupted by a war. Drivers allowed to race in bullet proof vests.

Indian Grand Prix. Rupees, elephants and fantastic bargains. Meanwhile inside Delhi's main market....

Dubai Grand Prix. Safer than Bahrain, though Iran may land one in the gravel trap.

USA Grand Prix. Latest attempt to persuade Americans that the world of motor racing also exists outside North America.

Brazil Grand Prix. Held at the wrong time if you wanted a carnival. Brazilian drivers go weepy here, filling up their crash helmets with tears and crashing out on lap 5.

Bonus: Ottoman Grand Prix. Known as the Turkish Grand Prick from 2005 to 2011,the race was cancelled by Bernie but the race organizers refused to leave. The race is now stored in a small box inside Petra Ecclestone's bedroom.

Future: New Jersey Grand Prix. It's rumored that the driver who runs over Snooki will automatically win the championship here.

Future: Russian Grand Prix. Originally supposed to be a part of the Winter Olympic Games, but who the fuck wants to drive a F1 on ice?

Contrary to popular belief - that Formula One is the only known cure for insomnia - the sport was once considered exciting, and has played host to many immensely popular drivers over the years. Below are just a few how have left their mark on the world of Formula One:

Romeo Fandango

Supposed to be the greatest Grand Prix driver ever. No footage survives so lets get on with...

Jackie Stewart

First Grand Prix driver to undergo a gender change. Previously known as Jim Clark, faked his own death and re-emerged as the talkative 'Jackie Stewpot' from Scotland. Still alive. Often seen wearing a dress (called a 'kilt' in Scotland) and wandering around the paddock 'feeding' F1 cars with sugar lumps. Naughty Scot! Soul sister of Jackie Stallone.

James Hunt

Gherkins or are they something else?

Son of Berkeley Hunt. Classic Grand Prix driver of the 1970s. Known as 'Hunt the Shunt' for his activities on and off the track. Died relatively young after he retired from racing. Rumours that Bernie Ecclestone had Hunt's gherkin 'pickled for eternity' remain just that.

Alain Prost

Known also as Le Conque. Prost also called the Professor as he slept with his mechanics to improve the car's race performance. A Curly haired French driver and intellectualised many of his wins on the race circuit (i.e. he cheated). Not related to Marcel Proust.

Ayrton Senna

Main article: Ayrton Senna

More bollocks than a field full of buffalo, but tragically died just before they changed the rules to reward boring driving. Unfortunately Schumacher was not yet in his prime when Senna died. People who know what they are talking about realise that Schumacher is probably the best driver of all time, but everyone pretends it's Senna because obviously Schumacher is German. His main rival was Alain Prost who was surprisingly likeable despite being French. There was also Nigel Mansell who wasn't French or likeable. Wore a moustache now associated with minor sex offenders but in those days was perfectly respectable.

Michael Schumacher

We love him. Even though he is German.

Main article: Michael Schumacher

Undoubtedly the most successful driver of his generation, Shoemaker (I can't be arsed with the correct spelling here) has won more championships than anyone ever so much so that the governing body of the sport demanded that Shoemaker tow a caravan while driving to allow the opposition some chance at winning.

Sebastian Vettel

Main article: Sebastian Vettel

Once called 'Baby Schumi'. Also called Baby Seal. Looks like a computer geek, drives like one..and er...wins championships.He has made a habit of showing his thumb.But in Malaysia this year,he showed us the middle one Damn...

Timo Glock

One of the greatest ever drivers, he famously came 12th in a grand prix once. Also famously let Hamilton win the world title, because Massa is a huge bellend

  1. Bernie does.
  2. Because only 24 cars are allowed to start a Grand Prix race, SFIGR are said to run a 'shadow team' that secretly control everything you see on the screen.
  3. Hormone Replacement Treatment.
  4. All of them.

VFD procedures for Administrators and Poopsmiths

Before we delete the work of an author — who doesn't necessarily monitor VFD or the Village Dump — he has the right to notification and to 24 hours' delay.

  1. Ensure that the nominator has placed {{VFD}} at the top of the article. If he has not, do so and reset the clock by editing the ballot on VFD to change the time shown inside {{VFDt}} to the current time UTC.
  2. Allow at least 24 hours before closing a nomination or deleting an article; that is, keep the vote open until the time shown at the upper right corner of the ballot turns red.

Closing nominations

Once 24 hours have passed since the nomination, close the nomination when the first of the following happens:

  • If the vote reaches +5, delete the article (see below).
  • If consensus is reached to keep the article, or if plenty of time has passed with no consensus either way (this is the Admin's judgement and will vary with user participation in VFD), then edit the ballot and change {{VFDn}} to {{VFDc}} to apply the "padlock" graphic).
  • If the nomination is invalid (page too new, page has been given a maintenance tag, page is vanity/cyberbullying and should be deleted without a vote), close the nomination.

In all these cases, edit the ballot and change {{VFDt}} to {{VFDg}} to gray it out.

Deleted articles

When deleting an article:

  1. Delete any associated talk page. (Follow the blinking reminder in the Delete dialogue.)
  2. Delete any images that will now be unused (orphaned). That is, click on every image in the article and read whether it is used by any other article. If you believe that an image is so good that it should remain on the site, move it to a gallery or another suitable article, and ensure that the image's description makes it easy for authors to find it with a search.
  3. Delete any broken redirects created as well.
  4. Check for pages that link to the article, as these will now be red-links. Remove them if feasible. Remove references to the article in navigation templates, which appear at the bottom of many other pages.

Poopsmithing involves moving closed ballots from VFD to the current Archive. Please wait 12-24 hours after a vote is closed before poopsmithing, so that users can see the disposition on VFD rather than search the Archive. However, if closed nominations make the page exceed 20 ballots, do it faster to avoid confusion and show that VFD is open for new nominations.

When poopsmithing a vote that kept an article:

  1. Edit the article and remove {{VFD}}.
  2. Edit (or create) the article's talk page and add {{Oldvfd}}.

At the start of a new month, the Poopsmith creates a new Archive, with a name like Uncyclopedia:Votes for deletion/Archive-2013-11. (Prior to November 2013, archives were named Uncyclopedia:Votes for deletion/Archivennn — the last of these was Archive276 — and it was necessary to edit {{VFDarchive}} to reference it.)

Introduction and Rationale

A screen familiar to users of this online service.

It has been known that rogue states but also companies and universities put restrictions to Internet usage. These restrictions are so aggressive and perverse that the Internet experience of the end-user is completely compromised.

WebSense (IPAEng: ˈwɛbsɛnsɛsʌks) (a.k.a "Web'non'sense") comes to the rescue by providing stealth anonymity to the masses, allowing them to browse the Internet without restrictions. Due to this, WebSense is severely unpopular in specific non-secural countries; merely having WebSense software installed on your computer may land you in jail for two years.

Technical details

WebSense offers anonymous secure proxy servers that end-users can connect to. Once such a server is blocked, WebSense activates a new one and informs the users through encrypted e-mail to switch to it.

There is currently work carried out to integrate WebSense with the Onion Routing project in order to offer protection against traffic analysis.

WebSense is resilient to differential analysis attacks thanks to patented technologies being employed.

Websense categories

WebSense is used especially by these groups of people

If you belong to one of the categories above, you can apply for a free license to use WebSense. Please contact them mentioning this page.

The motto of WebSense is Putting the Sense back in the Web. As more content-filtering software packages are being sold and utilised in perimeter networks, the real message of the Internet got diluted. Therefore, in a wise move, WebSense adopted the motto of sensible Internet, and puts the sense back to where it belongs, the Internet itself. The other Websense motto is "De Heil Websense!".

This page has been vandalised twice already by the oppressors of freedom. Please help keep WebSense page up and running.

Preemptive actions

Thanks to donations from around the world, the WebSense international community raised US$20.000 to win the online auction and register the Internet domain WebsenseSucks.com so that no other people may use. Please join the new initiative to register WebsenseReallySucks.com and avoid corporate interference to the mission of Websense.

WebSense:Wikipedia makes fun of WebSense at the popular parody Website Wikipedia. In the sly humour of the Wikipedia hippies, WebSense is depicted as a content-filtering product aimed at restricting Internet access.
