This page contains as many uses of Kibo's wacky catchphrase "NO MORE BACON!" as you need to see... and then, as an added bonus, segues into the complete rules for trolling newbies! These two topics don't go together, but, well, they collide in the long post halfway down.
Note that "trolling" is the sport of posting a ludicrously inaccurate statement that could only be interpreted as a joke (i.e. "During the filming of 'Goldfinger', seven people were accidentally killed by the flying hat.") and then waiting for idiots to post responses along the lines of "I think you are probably joking, but I must demonstrate my superior intellect anyway: 'Goldfinger' was just pretend, and the hat wasn't real." A "troll" is the mis-statement of fact, the bait, not the person who posted it, and contrary to popular belief, trolling is NOT the same as "flame-baiting"; "flame-bait" is posting "You suck! Your computer sucks!" and has little entertainment value for people with IQs above 50. However, trolling has great entertainment value, but only for those of us who got 2300 on our SATs.
The most artful trolls are those that are actually true but encourage people to "correct" you incorrectly, i.e. "Did you know that the lie detector was invented by the same guy who created Wonder Woman?"

because of the urine! I don't mind urine! And my sense of smell is
just as good as yours young man and my hearing may not be so good but at

Try a tech school's campus if you've never met a counterexample. I
introduced some of them to Will Rogers, star of M*A*S*H, and he immediately
gave up writing FOREVER, which is why the Daily (Schenectady) Gazette is
STILL printing his old columns instead of paying him to do something about

His soul!
It's a little-known fact that Mike was actually murdered during the
"attempted murder" scene, for added realism. Mike, well known as a "method
actor" along the lines of Strasberg, Brando, and Landau, insisted the scene
be filmed this way to help "sell" the shot (this is why they did two takes,
for "insurance". It was a double-indemnity clause.) Mike was replaced with
a joystick-controlled robot, which later went on to play the title
character in "Ghost".
Is it true what they say about tuba players? Do you have a real tuba or one
of those goofy plastic Sousaphones which are really just big kazoos? Why
can't I spell it "kazooz"? Why do Pez, Orbitz, and Zima have a "z" but not
Mentos? If you put them in the oven do you get Mentoast? If you put a tuba
on it do you get a tuba melt? When Martin Landau flew the crop-duster past
Mike Jittlov, did Alfred Hitchock really have a cameo as "Man doing a bad
impression of Alfred Hitchcock"? How did Allen Funt manage to film "What Do
You Say To A Naked Lady?" because the opening titles said "Nobody who was
wearing clothes was aware they were being filmed." and he was wearing
clothes! Did Allen Funt ever get nude? If he had, would civilization have
collapsed? If David L. Hewitt was responsible for one of my favorite scenes
in WOSAT, does this mean Mike Jittlov made Robert Vaughn stumble during
that scene in "The Lucifer Complex"? Where's my hat? No more bacon!

That, indeed, is what makes a good troll. My strategy is to see how
ludicrous I can make the trollery and still have someone fall for it.
For instance, "William Shatner owns six pairs of green socks." isn't a good
troll if he owns seven pairs.
"Isn't William Shatner a pair of green socks?" is a good troll, but ONLY if
it works, and generates one of the four desired responses:
LEVEL 1 TROLLAGE (GULLIBOZO, 100 points): "He is? Oh no! Now I'd better
tell everyone else I know who used to like him!!!" Believes everything he
or she reads in actual print, which includes Usenet.
LEVEL 2 TROLLAGE (CYCLOPEDANT, 10 points): "No he isn't. I know because he
was on Star Trek last night and spent six hours enlarging every frame on my
computer to look for green socks and you're wrong, you must be stupid or
something!" Lacks a bullshit detector.
LEVEL 3 TROLLAGE (IMPEDANT, 3.14159 points): "I know this must be an
attempt to troll me, but I'll answer it anyway: No, he isn't. He is a human
being." Bullshit detector malfunctioning, allowing pedantal lobe to
override.
LEVEL 4 TROLLAGE (OTHER, 1/2 point): "I don't know." Doesn't know but seems
too interested for own good.
The desired response to an attempt at trolling is *not* a flame. Flame-bait
is not trolling, and trolling is not flame-bait, although it sometimes
generates flames from those whose bullshit detector is connected directly
to the bullshit generator. Flames generated by attempts to troll people do
not affect your score.
I should mention also the concept of a META-TROLL, which consists of
posting a COMPLETELY ACCURATE, TRUE, SANE statement and having trollage
ensue.
(true statement) "Nichelle Nichols on 'Star Trek' was dating the producer,
Gene Roddenberry!"
(level 2 response) "No, that was Majel Barrett!"
(explanation, not promulgated) Gene Roddenberry really was dating Nichelle
"Lt. Uhura" Nichols *and* Majel "Nurse Chapel" Barrett at the same time.
Meta-trolls generate BONUS POINTS, doubling your score.
There's also the COUNTER-TROLL, which is the concept of parrying a troll
with another troll, often done by people whose bullshit detector is
connected to the trollerizer:
(obvious troll) "Major Barrett wrote every episode of 'Star Trek' with his
wife, Jean Roddenberry."
(troll detected and parried) "Actually, you're thinking of 'Deep Babylon
Nine', starring George Lucas's pet rabbit Binky."
If the counter-troll generates trollage, the counter-troller receives
double points, and they are deducted from YOUR score, you LOSER!
The first person on the Internet to receive 10,000,000 points will be
declared the winner and will receive "hitsies".
Also you must take a drink whenever someone mentions Star Trek, ever.
-- K.
I invented trolling the year
after I invented the smilie.
Also I didn't say if he _gets_ hitsies
or _GETS_ hitsies.

You've been trolled. Whoever made up those "rules" was a bozo.
The actual rules of trolling a newsgroup are:
1.) The player to the dealer's left goes first, unless it's dark on Tuesday.
2.) Smear raspberry jam all over your face and shout "I'm a wacky funster!"
3.) Watch every episode of NBC's "seaQuest DSV" six thousand times,
including the three they never filmed.
4.) Write a Usenet posting containing the phrases "doidy doidy doidy" and
"waffle-like Styrofoam-based pants".
5.) Repeat step 2.
6.) Be aware that you are NOT, under any circumstances, a wacky funster.

If I were to archive this post, people in the distant future--early 1998--
would be baffled by its mysteriosity. (Kibo's voice takes on a somber tone.)
Scientists tell us that ancient astronauts could not have written this
post mere months ago. Therefore, ancient astronauts must have written
this recent post thousands of years ago. Time is a circle, without beginning
or end, but it has a rich creamy filling with a flaky crust and chocolate
sprinkles living their tiny little lives on it until one day they fall off
and get stepped on over and over and set fire to with a magnifying glass.
Science cannot explain the impossible, therefore, science is useless.
