The Main Page Redesign proposal is currently conducting a straw poll to select five new designs, before an RFC in which one will be proposed to replace the Main Page. The poll closes on October 31st. Your input would be hugely appreciated! Many thanks, Pretzels^Talk! 10:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great, sounds like fun! I'll be there. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BARNSTAR.

		The Barnstar EATEN BY A BEAR
		The Barnstar EATEN BY A BEAR is awarded to any Wikipedian who says something very humorous and or random, thus cheering up fellow Wikipedians who read it. It is well deserved! :D —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow! Thanks, Eddie! :D :D :D I hope you're not expecting...ahem...payback for all this bling... —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:08, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hope everything gets better... And no, payback is not necessary—I'm content with having a featured article to my name. :P ! Do you have a comeback for THAT? :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:10, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An exclamation point after an emoticon? Really? Is that even necessary? :D!! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:12, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was. BTW: Grrrr? Really? I didn't really mean that you should transmogrify into a bear.....whoa. Pianista, close your jaws please as you are walking towards...Pianista? You're scaring me.... *"Grizzly Pianista" tackles Ed* AUGH! HELp. *Scream is abruptly cut off, as Ed heads off to the afterlife.* —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:16, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What? A bear can't play piano, do you think it would be wise for me to transmogrify into one? Of les animaux, I would pick un chat, mon ami.

But sending you to the afterlife is nice. GRRRR!!!! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you could play the piano...just not very well. :) It would be hard to play the piano as a cat too!

Now, now, now. Was that nice? And why are you "Grrrr"ing if you are not a bear...? :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Ed'z dead dent) ...Aren't you supposed to be dead?

And who said cats can't play piano? You've hurt Nora's feelings. I actually find Nora boring. Totally not cute. :P —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:30, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

:D :D :D :D Haven't you ever heard of "God-status"?

WHOA. A cat playing piano? Sweeeet. You continue to surprise me, Pianista! —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 19:55, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Les chats sont mignons <3 (Okay, there must be one way my French is wrong >.> That language avoids me, sometimes.) -thumbs up- La Pianista transmogrified into kitty pwneth Nora. -vigorous nodding- I c eUnshattered ^{[ t ]} 20:03, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Diwali!

I know it doesn't mean much to most of you, but I'd like to wish La Pianista and all other fellow Wikipedians a very happy and prosperous Diwali. It's the festival of lights, and we burn crackers and fireworks in India to celebrate it. Hope this festival of lights brings light and happiness into all our lives. Cheers! Z ebe c 20:59, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My Penpals doing that. It's suppost to be superb. Chubbennaitor 21:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! And a happy upcoming Halloween! BTW, you didn't have to link "Diwali" both before and after the pipe, you could have just done [[Diwali]] :D

For Halloween, guess what I'll be? A pianist! How original! :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 22:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Uncyclopedia

NO! Of course I haven't looked at the pernagrophy(i'm mormon) I can tell by the users on paragraph where they talk about themselves they say they like hot girls! Also what's the point of uncyclopedia!?--Spittlespat ALIENS 22:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah I forgot I like the userpage mind if I edit some of it?--Spittlespat ALIENS 22:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All right, no hard feelings. :)

Yes, of course you can edit it - it's your userpage! —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 22:15, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, don't be shocked, but...

Most guys like hot girls! O_O —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 22:17, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's ok to have a crush on someone if you're only 12-year old right?...--Spittlespat ALIENS 23:16, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(to Pianista) ROFL ROFL LMAO LMAO LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL....never ending lol's.

(to Spittle) See puppy love. —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 01:34, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

@ Spittle:

I suppose so - I had my first crush when I was eleven. File:Blush.png

Just don't go too far with it - don't get in a relationship too early. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:11, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

I've heard of Halloween,OBVIOUSLY. It's supposed to be great fun too, what with "Trick or Treat" and candy and Jack-o'-lanterns and all that.Happy Halloween in advance! (It's two days away,after all!) Tell me what you did to celebrate, okay? And yes, Chubbennaitor , Diwali IS great fun. We burst different kinds of crackers, like flowerpots, which send up a shower of sparks nearly two-four storeys high, and a kind of cracker which whirls on the ground, and rockets, the kind which shower sparks in the sky like you people use on 4th July. I saw a kind of rocket called 100 shots, which sends up 100 rockets each of which burst in the sky. Beautiful! If you get hold hold of some video, do see it. And Pianista, thanks for the linking tip. I had a bit of trouble with it, as it is. We have a week off, so I couldn't ask Alquimista either! ;-) BTW, I thought you had to dress up as something SCARY for Halloween? Is a pianist scary? I don't think so! :D One more thing, how do you insert smileys while posting a message? Anyway, Happy Halloween to one and all! Z ebe c 06:15, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hot

When I meant hot girls I meant girls in bikini--Spittlespat ALIENS 15:15, 29 October 2008 (UTC)--67.42.31.212 (talk) 15:11, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Um...okay. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 18:21, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whoah, people! We'll be kicked out for MySpacing if we talk about bikini-clad girls any longer :D What are you guys doing for Halloween? We don't know anything about it, since it's not widely celebrated here in my country. Any special preparations, things to do etc.? Yeah, I know I can just read Halloween, but I'm bored. Chamal ^talk 14:18, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm doing nothing! :P Pianista might be, 'cos she seems like she is crazy enough to try to scare little kiddies. :)

The only preparations for Halloween is that you have to get a costume to wear...superheroes and favorite movie characters are popular among the little ones, while older children go for...weirder stuff. Sure, some go as the Reaper and somewhat normal stuff like that, but last year I saw a teen dressed up as the antagonist from Saw....and another as a crazy in a straitjacket...or maybe my town is just weird?

Then you go trick-or-treating and get free candy! :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 14:31, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Free candy? Shame we don't celebrate it here then :) Chamal ^talk 14:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't cry now! :P —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 15:31, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm not doing anything this year. Used to, but kinda got tired of it. :P

In years past, though, I've made Styrofoam mummies, orange cobwebs w/spiders, red-dyed corn syrup for blood spattered on the wall, etc. But the best Halloween prep in the neighborhood goes to some guy down the street; he got up on the roof with a bloody chainsaw one time! :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 18:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hate halloween except for the school parties.--Spittlespat ALIENS 01:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

also I did great at my recital and how old are you lapianista?--Spittlespat ALIENS 01:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am an ageless immortal. MWAHAHAHA!

But seriously, for security reasons, I'll just tell you I'm around Ed's age (which I think he'll tell you), but certainly older than you. :)

And congrats at your recital - were you nervous? I used to get very nervous at my early recitals, but now I just get the normal symptoms - clammy hands, sweaty palms, etc. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 01:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you are certainly more security conscious than I am. =/ I'm a teen in college, which should be close enough for you. =P (5 bucks says that I've said my age somewhere on here before though....)

And congrats on your recital results! —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 01:55, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c) Oh, and Ed... I saw your edit summary Oh yeah, sue me, I care. "Sleep" is the magic word, not "sleeping." —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I got it now. xD I felt stupid today when I realized it.... :) Maybe I will! :P —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 02:10, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ZOMG! Of course my roommate's girlfriend walked past as I was reading that.... -_- :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 03:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastique! I'm famous! :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can I be blamed for the fact that I like intelligent women older than me? srsly. bibliomaniac 1 5 04:28, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Biblio's lovesick dent) Whoa, this is getting creepy... :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ahum, biblio, how old are you? And Pianista, .....??? —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 04:35, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mature enough to know what's up around here. bibliomaniac 1 5 04:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All righty, I'm off to bed. Y'all duke it out here - I want something to read tomorrow. :D :D :D And yes, when I'm sleepy, the Texan in me comes out. Y'all ketch m'meanin'? —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

to Biblio...what?

to Pianista...Nice themed, appropriate sig lol :) —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 07:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To Ed's last comment: Oh, great, you've been watching my contribs again! -_-

'Twas no big deal - just my fingers working before my mind. I was conditional-supporting a vote for a motto that I suggested to be changed, but I then realized that the motto had already been changed, so I had to move my vote to the next section and change it to support.

Yeah. —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 05:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. Maaaayyyybe. :P But you can't do a THING! haHA!

Ooooo okay. That made edit summary made me laugh quite a bit. :) —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 06:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween to all of you. But, Pianista, I think I asked you how one could enter smileys while posting a message. Could you PLEASE tell me? Anyway, have a GREAT Halloween. Trick or treat??? :-D Z ebe c 06:25, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Halloween from me too, to La Pianista and her stalkers ;) ...and anybody else who happens to read this. Zebec, you can insert smilies just like you'd insert any other image to a Wikipedia page. For example, to insert the image File:Blush.png type [[Image:Blush.png‎|17px]]. Note that the image size should be reduced. Here is a load of smilies you can use. Sorry for jumping in BTW, I have this bad habit :D Chamal ^talk 11:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Chamal. It's perfectly alright of you to jump in, anyone can help me out, after all!

Hope you had a nice Diwali. Z ebe c 15:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry, Zebec! I must have missed your message...

And a happy Halloween to you, too. :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks to you, Chamal, as well. Don't worry, I've got your page on my watchlist, too. :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A Spooky 'n Scary Halloween to y'all!!!

Yeah! Happy Halloween to you, La Pianista!Have fun!Are you really going to dress up as a pianist?? Lol. ^_^ Wish we had events like this in India too.... Ciao!! La Alquim ista 07:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note! And tell Zebec I'm extremely Pianista sorry for missing her message. Entirely stupid of me. :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 19:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And, yes, I dressed in a dark gown, with crazy hair and wild, melodramatic, entirely inappropriate gestures at the keyboard. :D :D :D

Jk. But - excuse me, Spittlespat, for using Uncyclopedia as a reference - I uncannily fit the Uncyclopedia definition of a pianist. O.o —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 04:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) Ummmmm to quote the Uncyclopedia, with replies interspersed....
"Crossing a pianist is dangerous so it's good to know the "do's" and "don'ts" when dealing with one. Here are some of those do's and don't:

DO:

...compliment them regularly.
- Not done
...give them old poorly recorded jazz tapes for Christmas, birthdays, Christmas/birthdays.
- Not done
...pretend that everything they are playing is amazing.
- Not done
...laugh during their solos for no apparent reason (solos can be dangerous, see below in "don'ts).
- Not done

DON'T:

...ever say anything bad about any jazz pianist ever.
- Done...somewhere, in one of my conversations, I had to have done this.
...talk to a piano player about music - or they will be arrogant and scoff at you.
- Done...MAYNARD!
...play the piano in front of them, or else they will most likely push you aside and start playing the hardest piece they know by Rachmaninoff to prove themselves.
- Not done, I've never been near you before. :D
...let a pianist take a solo, they will solo for hours and never let anyone else take a turn (see saxophone players).
- Not done, see #3."

This is scary. 0 for 4 of the "do" and 2 for 4 of the "don't"? Wow, no wonder why you hate me. :D :D :D :D —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 07:07, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks...

		The Special Barnstar
		[F]or being such a great friend. Your support for my fake message bar really moved me, especially in my current real-life position. This is just for all the laughs you gave me, and all the help you provided too. I have left a message on my talk page, and hope you'll take the time to read it. Once again, thanks. Blooded Edge (T•C•A) 15:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

friends

You and Ed17 seem to be best friends! Also it's sad Blooded edge is leaving!--Spittlespat 21:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's very sad Blooded Edge is leaving. I suppose he'll be back sometime in the future, once his exams are over. :)

And, we may seem to be best friends...but ask yourself: Would best friends nom each other for deletion? Actually, they would - the worst that could come out of it would be a trout-slapping bonanza. :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 02:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think of you as a best friend now, but that's beside the point...Spittle, make sure that you vote to delete Pianista! ;D I mean, come on, she wants to drop a piano on me! —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 03:06, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Canvassing? Wow, Ed, you have fallen far............. :\

:D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 03:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Psh. That's not canvassing, that's telling the truth! :P

Heh, no problem! DARTH PANDA ^duel 04:43, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay!

It's okay, Pianista. Wikifairies as busy as you might make a rare mistake sometimes, after all! Chamal was sweet enough to help me out, anyway! . Hope you had a great Halloween! Take care! Z ebe c 06:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Goodness gracious

Don't show this to Biblio. "Hugs all around"? He'd faint in happiness. What's that line...."Died of joy"!
Same edit. "Applaud, my comrades"? Who are you, Lenin? And does 50 matter anymore? 60 is the new 50! :P
How cute. Defending your instrument. Awww.
Yes, I did like this, thank you. :)
Ummm. Ok then...crazy. :P
I'll fix your MOM's header... okay, bad one.
Good. God. Scary.

Anyway, here is your collection of laughs for the morning/afternoon/whenever you log on. Cheers! —Ed 17 for President _{Vote for Ed} 07:12, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, bad choice of words. W/e - I don't think Biblio's watching my page. I think... >_>
Yes. Huggle, for make benefit of great nation Wikipedia. :D :D :D
.........*silence*

*Again, silence.*
Yah, bad joke. At least ~~your mom~~ you saw it. :D
Halloween night - what would you expect?

Anyway, here is your collection of laughs. :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 16:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You hope.

YOu continue to impress me with your amazing grammar, my dear.

=p

Oh w/e...you'll like my reply to that though! ;)

You think that you are sooooo cool, don't you. :P

LOL!

STILL. You should NEVER have to make a reference to Britney Spears. Pleh! :D :D :D :D Journey is so much better anyway. :)
