Hi, glad you're back. The site's looking great!

It gets the thumbs up from me, and I don't even have any thumbs. What I do have is a massive cheque from the company that stole them with their bloody meat grinder!

Hi Craig! Glad to be back and very glad you like the new design.

Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things after being away for such a long time. I know Paul is too. We're very pleased to have the site back.

Anyone else out there who wants to say "hi" please feel free

Let me start by saying I am happy to be able to write for the Spoof. Things appear to have suddenly changed, you know, like poof. The site has been updated and new people have returned.

Mostly, I would like to know about this tag stuff. Who does it? Me? You? Helium? Is Healium still here? Are we going to be congenial? How about pleased with all these changes.

Let me conclude by saying I am computer literate. I am not a programmer. Just looking to score philosophical points. Help!!! Should I try chatting with my fellow writers? Au secours!! Por favor.

Repondez s'il vous plait.

Hi Neil,

We're very pleased to be back and hope to be as convivial and hands-on as possible!

Helium is no longer working as an editor, it's just me and Mark from here on in.

Re: the tags stuff. It's entirely up to you to decide if you want to add tags to your story. They just help categorize the stories further than the usual "UK Headlines, US Headlines", etc. Please, feel free to add your own tags and assign them as you will!

I hope you do like the new site. The statistics in the newly named "Writers' Desk" are particularly of interest, I would hope.

Cheers!

Paul.

Thank you.

I can play tag. It used to be fun. I hope it will remain a convivical game going forward.

Neil,

Did you know that playing tag was recently banned in a school in Massachusetts? Yikes! Jay Leno said last night he feels sorry for the last kid tagged. He'll be IT forever!

Cheers,
Gail

I must say, when I got here today I was a little taken back by what I saw. How come nobody ever TOLD their president that the Spoof was changing?!



Only, the more you play with it, the more it feels kinda right. Now if I could just do the same with Iraq. And Iran. And Syria AND Korea (North not South or is it visa versa) who's about to nuke us back to the Pebbles Flinstone era. Laura's not told me just yet how to respond to these massive changes to the spoof (and Korea) just yet but since Laura's not here at the moment,

I think they, them changes, ain't quite that bad.
At least down here in Crawford although this new-fangled site hasn't mentioned the word "grits" even once.

Cheers to you guys, too!

May the dark ages be put to rest for yet another few years - with your returning to the hearth of Full-on Comedy Friday seven days a week.

All best wishes and pastries on your new beginnings and return to the hallowed halls of the old Spoof.com Building.

Now if I could just remember the address, I'd deliver this telegram to you pronto.....

- Abdul "Ben" Camel (distant cousin of the Fostex brothers)

I have it on very good authority that The Spoof Bros have commandeered a large tank and are loading it with Spoof as we speak.

It's war against news, gentlemen, and we're on the front line.

Let me say that I would prefer not to be IT. That's no fun. Hillary can be IT because then I can lay all my problems at her feet, although why John Spencer is being so nice to her is hard to grasp. It's like double talk. From people who are very, very important.

In case anyone is worried and even if you are not, I have complainted that Hillary believes in farming out the hot, sweaty work.

On the other hand, Helium may have wiselyprotected Jessica Simpson from some pointed barbs from me. Who knew she didn't really love Nick. And a big pair of boobs aptly applies to all involved.

That's classified information Craig.

Any more outbursts like that and I'll be forced to Spoof all over your ass.

I'd not recommend that. One more non-pg13 related comment like that and I'll have Condi and my FCC shut this place down so fast you'll wonder which way is Thursday.

Please accept our apologies, chosen one....I mean, Mr President.

In future I'll send all messages via your secret service for spooj cleaning. Which one would you prefer: FBI, CIA or NSA?

Ha... has the spoof gone full circle, then?

I remember it when it was 'No Place Like Home'...

Like the look of the site! Haven't been here in a while but I might try to do a little writing again.

I must admit, I enjoy writing here now that I am not under the constant threat of being kicked off for saying "enis" or "vagina". Why on Earth did you guys ever give Helium the job?

Just been reading about Helium,

Was he really that bad?

Would saying knob jockey get you booted?
