*Note: This post really has no importance whatsoever. It's just something I found interesting, as I have no life. None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.
As I sit here bored on this chilly day of January... I decided to look up some older Uber posts. I started with 1, but as I reached around 5 I realized that there was still no one really around here on Uber. So I started looking at anniversaries: the 100th post, 200th, 1000th, etc. And what I found is very disturbing. Apparently Uber is cursed. Every "anniversary" post... with a few holy exceptions.... suck balls.

sounds just like me.
Man, I get pissed just thinking about Razor talking to Rizzo in AC.
The bitch!
It must be Rizzo's curse, he is after all one handsome young man.
What the ghey?

Her, more so than normal. If any other female came within a 5 foot radius of Rizzo, she had to watch her back. Then there were the emotional, crying fits for no apparent reason.

Heh,
I belive that all this was something to do with the old 'automated submissions' system. There used to be an e-mail address which when an e-mail was sent to it would just post it straight away. Bart had signed this adress up to various free mail groups, such as dictionary.com's word of the day - which incidently was all that was left in then end. As in the birth of the site all that there was was a couple of users and the word of the joke site... menaing that there were hardly any posts from real people. If you view all of the automated posts and then keep clicking older messages you will begin to find that the urls run in sequence, this is because there used to be very few people posting.
Bart created a post when the automated submissions were stopped http://www.ubersite.com/m/22883
You can also find a list of the automated submissions here http://www.ubersite.com/cgi-bin/message_get.cgi?sr=1
I have no idea if what I just said makes sense, I'm drunk.

Well, had you come to Creep's house, you would have been worn out from the ass kickery and wouldn't have this problem. Liar.

There was a young fellow from Sparta.
A really magnificent farter.
On the strength of one bean
He'd fart "God Save the Queen,"
And Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
that's just genius!
