Well, um, but....
Well hello there. Your edit to Monster Mash was amusing but, I'm afraid, not something we can use, as I suppose you might imagine.

Tell you what though. You're funny, and that's correlated with intelligence IMO. We need intelligent editors, and editing here can be fun and you do something useful. So turn away from the Dark Side, grasshopper, and join us in this great project. (Nobody will hold your early edits against you, everybody has stuff like that.)

BTW I have a couple jokes hidden in the Wikipedia. Unlike yours, they're hard to spot and don't impinge on the reader's experience so maybe they'll live forever. I also have a couple-three "Barnstar of Humor" awards (note that these for conversations, not actual articles though). I also have written articles such as Vodka eyeballing and Horse head mask in addition to my more, harumph, serious subjects. So it's not like we're all humoroless drones here (although, alas, we do have those). There is fun to be had here, as well are more serious and more satisfying rewards.

So welcome. Let's get down to work and have some fun too, shall we? Keep in touch and let me know how it's going. Herostratus (talk) 12:05, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
