Blankfest

On August 31, 2008, between the times of 5:56pm and 6:11pm EST, #xkcd got slightly crazier than usual. It all started with Masterwabbit trying to make a bad joke, then the community went overboard with it. Here, the results are. The reason why? Well, to tell the truth, Masterwabbit (i.e. me) just needed a bit of practice with his lacking wiki skills (insert insults and general brouhaha towards Masterwabbit here), and couldn't think of anything better to practice with.

The Details

Blankfest, or better known as ____fest, is where the entire channel replaces words with blanks, or "____"s to those who need a visual representation. This is usually done to achieve a Freudian or humorous interpretation of the phrase than what it would be without the blanks. It also doubles as a convenient Mad Libs exercise.
