Chocolate cake

Hello Darwinbish. Since you didn't think much to the cupcakes, I've brought you a cake all of your own.

Salute

Elen of the Roads salutes Little Ankle Biter as good campaign manager, persuaded Privatemusings (talk · contribs). Offers array of goodies - Darwinbish prefer cake or cephalapod?

• 
  Northern krill - wears flat cap and drinks Newcastle Brown Ale
• 
  Strawberry Shortcake - wears ragamuffin hat and berry-talks all the day long

Heheh, I manage fine even while absent from wiki! Hum, goodies... Norwegian krill good friend! Hey, Krilly, come sample strawberry cake together! Feel free take bite out of feeble brother Darwinfish Fridge Magnet also! Er, how Elen do in election? Where are results? All bishsocks been away a few days! Pity, as Bishonen partial to Newcastle Brown. darwinbish ^BITE 13:04, 10 December 2010 (UTC).

Don't blame me, I'm just following orders on user page.

[sings like Pirate Jenny:]

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And he shows 'em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has DeeBee, dear
And he keeps it, er, out of sight

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears DeeBee, dear
So there's never, never a trace of red

On the sidewalk, on Sunday mornin'
Lies a body, oozin' life
Someone's sneaking 'round the corner
Could that someone be Bish the Knife?

Sounds of teeth; frog sound no more
Darwinbish is full

With apologies to whomever your preferred SA is:

Poor Bish, the centre of the sinful earth,
Bite hard these rebel powers that thee array;
Why dost thou chomp so much yet suffer dearth,
Painting thy dorsal fin so costly gray?
Why so much rage, having so short a fuse,
Dost thou upon thy feeble brother spend?
Shall worms, awaken'd from their snooze,
Eat up thy bro? is this his body's end?
Then Bish, bite thou upon thy brother's butt,
Get Lil' Stupid to stock up thy store;
Get filthy rich by selling tons of smut;
Then thou art fed, and shalt be poor no more:
  So shalt thou feed on Death, that feeds on fish,
  And Death once dead, there's just Darwinbish.

If you want the editor's name to appear in the message, you will have to subst: the template when you use it (otherwise REVISIONUSER will keep changing to show who last edited the page like this: Darwinbish)

The code you need can be stolen and modified from a template like {{Welcome-anon}} and looks like this:

• {{ {{{|safesubst:}}}ifsubst | [[User:{{ {{{|safesubst:}}}REVISIONUSER}}|{{ {{{|safesubst:}}}REVISIONUSER}}]] | A friend}}
• Key: ....................................................^ the link ........................^ name displayed...^ what shows when it's not substituted

It looks like this when the template is viewed:

• A friend

4. Little ankle biter come take brownies. Leave empty plate with crumbs spewed from the devouring.
5. Little ankle biter make nice - make moar brownies for Chedzilla <Chedzilla "nom, nom, nom" while he has chance>
6. Little ankle biter make template stuff. (didn't know any of Bish family could do code stuff)
7. Little ankle biter cavort with techno geeky types RexxS and Rabbit to make template easy to use.
   1. Chedzilla think "Bish the knife" planning on doing much raiding of food in near future to do such things.

I told her you're gonna have trouble explaining your rent (rended?) garments at work, but she don't care. [Darwinbish is a little cheered by imagining this scene. She hopes Floquenbeam is going to put some ashes on his head, too.] Shonen says she's done her best to provide a replacement for me, and that there's already one candidate who's a bit like Fish.

[*weeps quietly, kicks cat in frustration*] I guess I understand; the Monster sort of wants to run too, but isn't allowed.

Man, did you ever make a mistake. Answered on your page. Which template do you want, the fish-hitting or the insultspout? darwinbish ^BITE ☠ 11:12, 23 May 2013 (UTC).

I striked my caution - but could you please explain? It didn't look appropriate to me - shed some light, perhaps? thanks, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 11:18, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Upon further review - who says I can't have both? —MelbourneStar☆^talk 11:32, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Awright. To show there's no bad feeling, I have graciously given you a template of your own. If you want both you'll have to work harder. The insultspout is serious, serious business, recipients are sometimes prostrated for weeks. darwinbish ^BITE ☠ 11:44, 23 May 2013 (UTC).

[db whispers conspiratorially to Chedzilla.]] Don't tell him! Just check out edit mode of this page, imitate and create similar own subpage. See principle? Figure "24" at top comes from number of compliments (or threats or whatever, say yes to your evil side!): in my case they go from 0 to 23, which makes 24, ok? When that page is done and saved, check out how sentences at the top of this page are constructed, using title of new subpage.

That last cupcake had a family!

Dear Madam, I regret to inform you that your recent actions have left a family of pâtisseries heartbroken. The cupcake was intended for a specific recipient, it had the right mix of cocoa, flour, sugar, passive-aggression and ambiguity. But more so, it was a unique individual pastry with its own identity that would be sorely missed by its family.

The young cupcake that you recently and callously snatched had a sweet(literally ;) ) loving family - A mama angel cake and dad shortcake (no need to mock his stature madam), a sister Madeleine, an uncle Flaky pastry (he's eccentric), Stroopwafel (a dutch cousin) and an Aunt Éclair (from France). It had dreams and hopes of meeting another cupcake one day, and getting matching icing together, frosting.....who knows, even sprinkles - we won't know anymore!!

I have offered to join the family in their effort to get justice for the deceased pastry. I should inform you that similar to your Anti-Wikilove template, we have learned to weaponize wikilove for a fight of attrition (or just irritation :P ). If the family so wishes, prepare to have your talk page turned in to a bakery kitchen, the likes of which only the most skilled maître pâtissier have seen. Extended family who send their sympathies and offer to join the mission include - Muffins of contempt (touch of vanilla essence and dollops of contempt), Lemon meringue pie of ridicule (tangy), cookies of passive-aggression (best-sellers), and scones of scorn (classic). A moment of silence for the fallen please. Theo10011 (talk) 20:37, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Also, Hello and nice to make your acquaintance. In case it wasn't clear, I liked your template. Thanks for the smile. ;) Theo10011 (talk) 20:38, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

[Small Darwinbish dives into the crack at the top of the cupcake and can be heard tunneling about inside like a three-dimensional PacMan, locating and eating the chocolate chips. Starts on the meringue top.] Mmm, not bad! [Generously.] The family can have the rest of it back if they want! [Db hands back the crumbling wreck of a cupcake, undermined from the inside like a Swiss cheese and bald on top.] darwinbish ^BITE ☠ 21:14, 9 September 2013 (UTC).

It's rather rude to drink someone else's gift [2]. You want milk? Drink this:

Dont' choke. Jester of the court 11:57, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Darwinbish drinks all the milk...

The jester of the court (Chesterton? WTF?) bringing Jimbo his porridge. No more milk for Darwinbish!

…and bloats up to a huge size. Her brother is terrified. The little jester hurriedly returns to his day job of feeding Jimbo. Safer!

Milk-bloated Darwinbish. Run, little Darwinfish! She's gonna blow!

Please bite Bishonen

She's clearly violating her ANI pageban [3]. Jester of the court 11:42, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

[Db bites the Jester shrewdly on the ass for naughty allegation.] Pagebanned editors can still read pages! Shonen can say ANI, even if it burns her mouth! [Bites Bishonen as well, for good measure.] darwinbish ^BITE ☠ 12:06, 15 October 2015 (UTC).

Your sig, actually

I thought maybe it was a joke for ANI, but you used this in November too. I'm just leaving this to let you know your signature literally fails W3's accessibility guidelines due to color choice on both the standard background, and even more dramatically on the archive-box background. You can test yourself with online tools such as this one. Someguy1221 (talk) 04:57, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Hmm. Maybe User:RexxS can help. There's another sig complaint above, too. Never mind, Darwinbish! You can still give electric shocks! Bishonen | talk 10:34, 4 January 2020 (UTC).

Current sig:

• darwinbish ^BITE ☠

Suggested sig to comply with WCAG 2.0 level AA against a white background:

• darwinbish^BITE ☠

Suggested sig to comply with WCAG 2.0 level AAA against a white background:

Level AAA is super-kind to folks with visual impairments; level AA is the least we can do. You can't be held responsible for the naive choice of archive box background. HTH --RexxS (talk) 13:09, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

• Fixing that sig to AAA on sig page. But this is sig currently in use, darwin bish, which Someguy1221 saw on ANI[4] and complains about. I like to use that, so User:RexxS please fix it? (Are all my sigs bad for visual impairments? 😟) PS, these are same colors as Bishzilla sig, aren't they? I thought her sig was OK now? darwin bish 13:33, 4 January 2020 (UTC).

  Bleh, Why can't folks who complain at least tell us what they are complaining about, instead of making us guess? No wonder there's never any progress.

  Ok: Current sig:

  • darwin bish

  Suggested sig to comply with WCAG 2.0 level AA against a white background:

  • darwin bish

  Suggested sig to comply with WCAG 2.0 level AAA against a white background:

  You call that a "well-tempered climate"? In Stockholm, you have to dress up like an Eskimo just to attend the weekly protest.

  I don't have the nerve to tinker with 'Zilla's sig. Let's wait for somebody else complaining to get roasted first. --RexxS (talk) 14:10, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

  [Even the mild Darwinfish is upset at the ugly drab colours.] My sister in military green? Bleh! Can she perhaps use mine, or are they also offensive? darwin^fish 15:30, 4 January 2020 (UTC).

  @RexxS: Admittedly there's a slight gale from the north at the moment. Nothing much. Bishonen | talk 15:33, 4 January 2020 (UTC).

  @Darwinfish: Your colours meet WCAG AA standard, but fall a little short of WCAG AAA. You could use:

  • darwin^fish

  The dark blues and dark reds are much richer than the dark greens and cyans. Odd isn't it? The lightest blue you can use is #22F. --RexxS (talk) 16:00, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

  Happy to use those suggested colours. See, using them now! [Darwinfish is pleased with himself, then overreaches by attempting to put those same colours into his sister's current sig. Gets deeply confused, loses his footing.] Why does she have three colours in there? RexxS put in my new colours in her current sig, please, in lieu of ugly green etc? darwin^fish 16:26, 4 January 2020 (UTC).

  How does this look?

  • darwin bish

  But I only see two colours in the one she currently uses. --RexxS (talk) 17:39, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

  Fish must have been looking at one of the other sigs. OK, that's not bad, I'll use it. [Grumpily:] Thank you. But Dino, what could Bishonen have meant when she wrote I can vary the rotation and it's easy?[5] I wanted to test the fractured bit pointing up instead of down. Shouldn't it do that if I change 20deg to 340deg? But no, that gives a completely different effect, moving the axis of rotation from left to right, why? No good. darwin bish 18:28, 4 January 2020 (UTC).

  Best to just swap positive and negative numbers, so rotate(-20deg) and bottom:+0.4em (you don't need the +, of course). The rotation is about the centre of the text, so the vertical placement has to change as well:

  • darwin bish

  Less grumpy now? --RexxS (talk) 19:26, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

  Hehe. Using up-pointing sig to look less grumpy! darwin bish 20:28, 4 January 2020 (UTC).
