User:IvoShandor/Box Sander's Creed

The Box Sander's Creed is a pledge recited by dedicated Wikipedians who just can't seem to stop sanding their boxes. As such, most of them will defend their sandbox with extreme prejudice, and with deadly force if necessary.

Creed

edit
 

The creed is as old as sandboxing itself. No one really knows where it came from save it was found on a clay tablet in the Gobi Desert. The creed follows.

This is my Sandbox

This is my sandbox, there are many like it, but this one is mine. My sandbox is my best friend. It is my Wiki. I must master it as I must master my Wiki. My sandbox, without me, is useless. Without my sandbox, I am useless. I must sand my box true. I must sand better than than my enemy, the vandal, who is trying to kill me. I must sand him before he sands me. I will . . . My sandbox and myself know that what counts in this war is not the articles we create, the sand in our box, nor the wikis we wikify. We know its the hits that count. We will hit . . . My sandbox is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its history and its edit functions. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and vandalism as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against vandalism. I will keep my sandbox organized and ready. We will become part of each other. We will . . . Before God, I swear this creed. My sandbox and myself are the Defenders of the Wiki. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life . . . So be it, until victory is the Wiki's and there is no enemy, but peace!

  • The Box Sander's Creed made an anonymous appearance in a 1987 episode of Gummi Bears.
  • The original script of Stanley Kubrick's classic war film, Full Metal Jacket, called for the recruits to recite the Box Sander's Creed while doing push-ups in a marshmallow factory.
  • The Box Sander's Creed was seen by a young lad by the name Jose near the 59th Street Bridge on the back of a bar napkin. This has nothing to do with popular culture.
