Pete Flynn was a Shea groundskeeper who did the improbable by driving the Beatles from the stage to a centerfield gate in 1965, then driving Paul McCartney from the stadium's rear entrance to the stage to perform at Billy Joel's "Last Play at Shea" concert 43 years later.[1]

find your pastries here. this list only has room for one name, one picture, and one origin, for each pastry. oh ok i suppose we can also have a column for notes, where we might shove in several paragraphs of wiki-cruft here and there on some of the entries. it's not a proper big list on wikipedia unless the table looks like rear end

my favorite so far (haven't read all of it yet) is the entry for the fig roll. it says the origin is "Egypt (Ancient)", and this is juxtaposed with a photo of what are clearly just two Fig Newtons

Another origin is linked to the fanciful belief among printers that a special devil (see the typographical personification Titivillus) haunted every print shop, performing mischief such as inverting type, misspelling words and removing entire lines of completed type.[citation needed]

Caragonne put on a Walkman containing a cassette of theme songs from the James Bond films, his favorite, and jumped. He fell 500 feet, his 400+ lb. body caroming off ledges and decorations before landing on a buffet table bustling with guests.

During the period of the Christian Revival at this time, the name rapidly became established at firstly one of the most popular baptismal names, and within a generation as one of the early surnames. Part of this popularity was due to the conviction that the name was originally the war cry of the arcángel, in his defeat of Satan! A large range of spellings have developed in every Christian country of the Western Hemisphere

Neil Christian (born Christopher Tidmarsh, 14 February 1943[1] – 4 January 2010)[2] was an English singer. Christian had a solo hit single in 1966, when "That's Nice" (written by Miki Dallon), reached Number 14 in the UK Singles Chart.[3] He remains, however, a one-hit wonder. Follow-up singles "Oops" and "Two at a Time" never reached the charts.

not sure how "manual" it is ("bridges" links to a stub that links to a page for the tacoma narrows bridge) but a human being is definitely involved

there's also a section on the front page for the wiki's original articles, which i presume were written by this geerinck guy

Putler, also known as Vladolf Putler, is a derogatory neologism formed by merging the names of Vladimir Putin and Adolf Hitler. Often used in the slogan "Putler Kaput!" and by people opposed to Putin. The term has a negative connotation.

Rated X Mas is a Christmas music parody album by Matt Rogers. The songs on the album are parodies of popular Christmas songs, but with graphic and sexual lyrics.

In May 2000, several record labels, including Warner Music Group, sued the album's distributor, Party on Parody Productions, alleging that the album infringed on the copyright of the Christmas songs it spoofs. In December, the case was settled, the album was pulled from shelves, and all remaining unsold copies of the album were destroyed.[2][3]

:nws:


Drunken Santa's Coming to Town (parody of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town)
I Saw Mommy loving Santa Claus (parody of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus)
Rudolph the Deep Throat Reindeer (parody of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)
Suck on My Cock (parody of Jingle Bell Rock)
Frosty the Pervert (parody of Frosty the Snowman)
I Love to Choke My Chicken with My Hand (parody of Winter Wonderland)
Have Yourself a 1-900-Christmas (parody of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas)
Have a Pornographic Christmas (parody of Holly Jolly Christmas)
