I make crap!

Come and see all the useless Wikipedia eye candy I've created here.

		The Template Barnstar
		Dynaflow has contributed enormously to the continuity and cohesive nature of university articles, specifically the University of California and California State University pages. His vivid and clear templates offer a brilliant alternative to the extremely banal blue and white navboxes of so many articles. Despite his claim that his products are "crap" or "cruft", they brighten the articles and generally make stuff look GOOD. ALTON .ıl 05:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Best of Wikipedia Talk

I've taken to collecting things from Talk pages that I've found particularly entertaining. Perhaps they can entertain you too, or at least distract you from the inherent meaninglessness of life. Smile!

Most exchanges involve me, some do not. I blame sampling bias. User:Dynaflow/Wikihilarity

"Why are you here?"

That's a very good question.

"Where did you come from, anyway?"

I'm from the Midwest, but I now live somewhere in the general vicinity of San Francisco. While I don't actually talk like the characters in Fargo, my accent is still close enough to Jerry Lundegaard's when I let my guard down that the Californians never fail to give me "hella sh*t," or some other such nonsense, about it. Them Yay Area peeps can just get back on thei' yellow bus and get stupid, yadadamean?

"Why did you name yourself after a car part?"

I didn't. I arbitrarily named myself after the Stan Kenton piece I was listening to when I picked my username. Forty-five more seconds and I would have been User:Fascinating Rhythm.

"Can you simplify all that and more into a crass assemblage of unsightly userboxes?"

Why yes, yes I can.
