Welcome to the Mother Ship of amateur comedy writing! (Amateur means we don't pay you to do it.)
This is where the original Uncyclopedia wound up. You might as well pick a user name. We have no "partners" that want to sell you stuff. Giving your email simply lets you recover your password; we don't send spam. Uncyclopedians get a talk page, private edit area, and a welcome, maybe, if you actually edit; and we won't de-platform you for your views, if they're funny.

Comparison
WHY template:col IS BETTER THAN template:random colour:
- you have to know that COLOR is spelled in the english way, COLOUR
- T:Random Colour will generate colors that are irritating (T:Col cannot generate irritating colors)
- or too light to see (T:Col cannot generate colors too light to be seen).
- or boring colors like gray (T:Col cannot generate boring colors).
- T:Col is 4 times shorter to write out.
- T:Col has an advanced function, T:Col/A, for more choices.
- T:Col can do everything that T:Random Colour can, and more.
