The LastWikiScrabbleManStandingStandingStory (Does that mean the story itself is standing?)
Once upon a time, there was a gnome called Wiko. She lived in the country WikiNomia, in a little village near KumQuat. One day, she received a visitor who wore strange clothes - he was caped all in gray, and sometimes it seemed as if you could see through him.

Of course the identity of the visitor was well known and feared throughout WikiNomia. He was . . . the NullClown

Clown because of his pale face, his perpetual smile, and the red hair that stuck out at both sides of his head. Null because he had a reputation among Unix hackers as a man who could keep a secret -- He's like a living /dev/null, they all said. And the NullClown's fame was second only to his favored mode of transportation: his 738-speed Schwinn InsaneCycle?.

Powered on an orgamic biofuel of carbohydrate, the InsaneCycle? was a walking (albeit driving) contradiction famed in WikiNomia. It was designed to be simultaneously dependable and unstable, enviromentally friendly and incredibly destructive.

Wiko asked the NullClown, "What are you doing here?". Only after repeating her question (the InsaneCycle? can be quite noisy), she got her answer. "Why, my naif* child, I am here because I was looking for you. We need you to help us out - there's a dire need for gnomish advice and erudition in SandWich."

- *Tripper makes the smart-arse comment that Naif is a noun not an adjective. Ha!
- lilith replies that she is not a native speaker and had to look up erudition, too - anyway, who can keep track with the many ways you English-speaking folks spell foreign words?' Besides, naif 'isn't' in my dictionary...
- Fair enough - my apologies
The NullClown continued: "The Duchess of SandWich is in trouble. Trouble of the most embarassing kind. The truth be told, I have been dispatched to search the length and breadth of WikiNomia to find her an Enema**"
- **Enema, not love, is what the world needs now - DAAS

Now wiko answered: "NullClown, your lacky of courage makes your mission fail, you will see!" But the NullClown answered: "LackOfCourage??? I am very plucky!"

Wiko then proceeded to enumerate the risks of such a quest - namely, that the only place enema grow* were in KumqUat, that you had to win a round of Wikit to get one, that Wikit matches could take very long, that the InsaneCycle? might blow up during such a match and so on, but the NullClown was adamant. He said, "If you won't join me, I will have to go alone, because I pledged to the Duchess that I would get her an enema. You were my only hope to get one quickly, but..." He was sniffling so much at this time that Wiko couldn't understand any more.
