Even furthermore, wonderful as it may be, there are a great many things that The Site is not.

Also, The Site is not a hand grenade; a toaster; {or any sort of kitchen appliance for that matter} a fish; a towel; a sledgehammer; any sort of alcoholic beverage or The Prime Minister of England.
Also, the Prime Minister of England is not affiliated with The Site or The Writers in any way at all. Nor in fact, is anyone at all who is involved in any way with the government of England or any other European country.
Furtherfurthermore, The Writers would like to disclaim any fault, blame, liability, culpability, or responsibility for any offense caused by The Site. Any Viewers offended by words, for example, are advised to find another Site. Additionally, any Viewers offended by humor should get the hell out now.
Furtherfurtherfurthermore, if The Site is a complete waste of a great deal of your time, The Writers reserve the right to say to you, “Tough Noogie.”
Furtherfurtherfurtherfurthermore, any legal action of any sort will be dealt with most harshly by our specially trained team of iguanas.
Furtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurthermore, The Writers take no responsibility for any content of this site found to be apocryphal, wildly inaccurate, truculent, or devoid of any factual content, especially if this causes any sort of harm to The Viewer, especially if this harm is of a nature for which The Writers have already disclaimed responsibility for above.
Furtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurthermore, any similarity between any content of The Site and any persons living or dead is purely coincidental, or at least strictly in the mind of The Writers, or the mind of The Viewer, or perhaps a subtle political joke, or even a not-so-subtle joke. In fact, any similarity between anything on The Site and anything not on The Site is most likely intentional and meant to be amusing, and if The Viewer finds it offensive, he or she is invited to read the earlier portions of this disclaimer.
Furtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurthermore, The Writers take no responsibility for any harm that may come about as a result of reading this disclaimer, including but not limited to: a plague of rabid weasels; the placing of crop circles in the fields of The Viewer; anything that has already been disclaimed, anything that hasn't as well; or death.
Furtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurthermore, all content on The Site is the intellectual property of its originator, most often one of The Writers, except for the team of specially trained iguanas, who are the property of themselves.
Furtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurtherfurthermore, any complaints regarding the content of The Site or The Writers should be sent by e-mail to thecomplaintsdepartment@gmail.com.
