In the beginning Martin created the Alternative House Rules
And the Entry was without form, and void; and blueness was upon the face of the goo. And the Hands of Martin moved upon the face of the keyboard.
And Martin said, "Add Guide Entry", and the entry was added.
And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And Martin said, "Let the Entry bring forth footnotes, and let the footnotes bring forth links".
And other Researchers saw the Entry and saw that it was good, and congratulated Martin on his work, and told Him He had far too much time on his hands.
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And on the third day Martin ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the third day from all his work which he had made; for he was well ahead of schedule.
Evening passed, and morning came, and that was the third day.
--
And the Entry suffered under Pontius Peta,
was yikesed, moderated, and hidden.
It descended into hell.
On the third day it rose again from invisibility,
and is linked to on the home space of Martin the Whinger
From thence it shall come to judge nobody, for it is not that kind of entry.
--
Evening passed, morning came, and that was the fourth, fifth and sixth days.
And Researchers came to him and said, "Martin, thou bumbling idiot, thou hast not explained 'sexually orientated' properly."
And Martin went to Magnolia Thunderpussy's page, and he saw that it was good,
And He made a few other tweaks here and there.
Evening passed, morning came, and that was the seventh day.
And on the seventh day, while Martin was earning his wage packet, His Entry was hidden again. And Martin wax wrath, because you really have to do that at least once if you parody the bible, saying "*sigh*" and "oh well".
--
Indeed do many things come to pass

It's nice to see that MyRedDice still puts in an occasional appearance!
I'm beginning to think of your Alternative House Rules as a jack-in-the-box constantly popping up and scaring yet another moderator.
..Wandering off, imagining an abbey-full of monks singing in plain chant: ...and blueness was on the face of the goo....

I was going to say this was funny, but then I realised you might think I meant that the entry being hidden was, and that's not what I meant. So I won't say it.
