Yeah, 128 according to the counter.

[Carlito]

You also worked out how to use the Copy & Paste functions on your PC. Great.

[locusceruleus]

Don’t be too harsh. I thought the fan fncition and a-level journalisem were quite noteworthy.

[peas_and_corn]

You do know how to use paragraphs, right?

[Carlito]

Shouldn’t the question be “you do know how to seperate the text you just copied and pasted from other sites into paragraphs, right?”

[Wilbur]

I’m pretty sure if you ask nicely they’ll let you link to the ‘Recommendations’ section on this site.

[Blisschick]

#1 website, huh? I find that rather boastful. I’m just sayin’…

[Wilbur]

>#1 website, huh? I find that rather boastful. I?m just sayin??

They don’t normally make #1 websites so hard to find that you need congratulating on finding them.

[Blisschick]

I’ll have to dig out my box of gold stars. :-P

[Wilbur]

Congratulashions! You’ve just found the best gl0d stars post on the itnernet!

An insider tipped me off to The Goldstars, veterans of the Chicago rock and roll scene who apparently got together as friends to simply play the music they loved. What brought them together was a mutual affection for the golden age of primitive rock n? roll as they worshiped the holy trinity of the Farfisa organ, the fuzzed-out guitar, and the wailing voices of American kids trying to sound like British kids trying to sound black.Chicago isn?t a foo-foo veggie burger eating town, Chicago loves the steak AND the sizzle, yet the Windy City has been starving for a meat-and-potatoes rock and roll band amongst the post-rock, punk, power pop and alt-country factions. The Goldstars are just the ticket. Sal is an ideal frontman, his white blues shout, his bass often held aloft, his mop of hair shaking, there is no doubt as to his sweaty commitment. To his right, Skipper mans the keyboards, which he has festooned with gold tinsel. Skipper frequently serves as the emcee, sometimes takes over the bass chores, but his keyboard contributions give every Goldstar tune the right amount of zip. To Sal?s left, filling in on guitar, stands Dag. This guitar virtuoso razzles and dazzles while pumping out the basic chords or concisely slicing up the crowd with a solo. Maintaining control while somehow still adding to the frenzy is the drummer, Goodtime. A band can?t truly rock without a great drummer and The Goldstars truly rock, so that gives you an idea of Goodtime?s skills. He not just the beat of the band, he?s the heart. The electricity of the Goldstars is no surprise when you study their pedigrees. Goodtime and Skipper are both members of Chicago?s most beloved party rock and roll band, The New Duncan Imperials, who have been entertaining thousands with their white trash sounds for years. Dag was last seen playing with Poi Dog Pondering & The Greenwoods. And Sal was hiding his (Gold)star qualities as the drummer for power pop titans, The Krinkles. The Goldstars are a four-man fun factory, tight as a drum, yet relaxed as can be, showing why the sounds of yesterday are worth playing today. The Goldstars recognize that a great song is a great song, and the only way to rock seriously is by not taking rock and roll too seriously.

GOLDSTAR FUN FACTS! 1.

[Carlito]

You do know how to use the English language, right?

[Wilbur]

Yes, I conducted a search for a subject, copied and pasted text without even reading the context or content, mangled the formatting so that no-one could ever possibly want to read it for themselves, and then wrote an inane and deliberately illiterate introduction…

Please tell me you didn’t actually read it?

[peas_and_corn]

I read the first sentence, then I got the joke.

[hummingbird]

I particularly enjoyed the journalisem(sic).

[Wilbur]

I think we’ve all got something to bring to discussion, but I think it’s best if hectortheblob brings silence

[Mr Flibble]

Ha ha! The photo album is the best – to quote:

i found of all o these pictures in a secret place on the internet and decided to share them with the world. some of them have never been seen anywhere which i think you will agree makes this the most exclusive and birlliant red dwarf website going, an d definitely better than andrew ellard’s fun time emporium

This is like that fanfic we used to get on ATVRD where there wasn’t any paragraph breaks, and the sentences lasted all day.

[Ian Symes]

I do believe we’re talking jape of the decade. Or at least, I hope we are.

[TheLeen]

> andrew ellard?s fun time emporium

What? Where?

[peepingsignal]

I do believe we?re talking jape of the decade. Or at least, I hope we are.

April, May, June, July and August fool?

[Tarka Dal]

*Applauds*

[Joey TORDFC]

I’m not sure I’d want to visit Andrew Ellard’s funtime emporium. Fail.

[locusceruleus]

Nice work, I must say.

[hectortheblob]

[Ian Symes]

This is amusing – Seb did this pissed last night and didn’t tell any of the other G&T staff that it was him until just now. Excellent.

[si]

I’ve just seen this, but saw Seb’s name in the post, thus ruining the joke.

Quite frankly, I’m disgusted.

[Seb Patrick]

I couldn’t think of a better way of proving it was actually me. Hang on, I’ll change it back.

[Mr Flibble]

The thing is though – shouldn’t April Fools be unbelievable? Whereas this site is accurate to quite a lot of them out there…

[Jonathan Capps]

> The thing is though – shouldn?t April Fools be unbelievable?

Erm… no?

[Andrew]

> I?m not sure I?d want to visit Andrew Ellard?s funtime emporium.

*Rimmer* Everybody says that. */Rimmer*

[Jonathan Capps]

After careful consideration I think the pictures page is my favourite, for the captions and the repeated screenie. Comic timing in a website layout, there.

> *Rimmer* Everybody says that. */Rimmer*

Introduce a promotional price for the tickets and I’ll think about it.

[Ian Symes]

I was surprised at how long it took me to recognise my own stupid words on the journalisem page.

[TheLeen]

>> *Rimmer* Everybody says that. */Rimmer*

> Introduce a promotional price for the tickets and I?ll think about it.

I’ve seen pictures and was very impressed.

[Arlene Rimmer BSc SSc]

I know this isn’t something you could orchestrate or anything, but the fact that most of the huge pictures on the site stop loading and break, leaving big, sad empty spaces, is a nice touch for extracting the urine from old fan pages like this.

Also: omg u liek the TRD site to? I loooooooooove that Web siet it has rela fun games. It has Whinny te Poo hagnman, a mathcing game, draufts, and Teh Smeg Cube SMEG LOLOLOOOLOLLOL!1

Man i haven’t seen that in ages!!!

[Tarka Dal]

Exactly. April Fools is really about giving all those inept social outcasts an opportunity to feel better about themselves by obsessively pointing out all the April Fools gags.

Awww, do you remember? I love the cursor trail :oD

> I?m not sure I?d want to visit Andrew Ellard?s funtime emporium.

What about if I find 2 for 1 tickets on the money saving expert website?

[Nakrophile]

haha

[Blisschick]

I never actually went through the site, since after the first page I just couldn’t force myself to explore another bad website. Now that I know it’s Seb’s, I kind of poked around. It’s pretty funny now that I know, but I would have been in sheer hell if I’d thought otherwise. Great job!

[hummingbird]

If it turns out that teh Ellard doesn’t have a funtime emporium, I’ll be devastated.

[peas_and_corn]

Searching for ‘to ganymede and titan’ I found the following LJ account, which was… interesting? http://lismu.livejournal.com/

[Blisschick]

Hmmm, yes, interesting. I have no idea what any of that meant.

[Dave]

“it’s hard to form coherent sentences.”

Clearly.

[Joey TORDFC]

>> I?m not sure I?d want to visit Andrew Ellard?s funtime emporium.

>What about if I find 2 for 1 tickets on the money saving expert website?

Oh, go on then. But only if it has dodgems.

Seb, did you write all of that??

[Zombie Jim Undead]

And there was I all ready to accept an enthusiastic new fan with open arms and a mug of tea.

Ho-hum.

[peas_and_corn]

Might be a fan…? It’s hard to tell, perhaps the title was random words.

[Seb Patrick]

>Seb, did you write all of that??

I wrote the intros. All the “content” was C&Ped from elsewhere. See if you can find all the originals!

[Joey TORDFC]

Kudos.

[si]

I think some stuff – the stuff what numbers in brackets – is from Wiki, I reckon.

[Seb Patrick]

I’m still trying to figure out where I got “Andrew Ellard’s fun time emporium” from (I was incrediblycredibly drunk when I wrote that bit). It sounds like Simpsons, but I can’t place it.
