Here is something not nice that I am doing. If you would like to suggest other types of website that this website should not be, please leave them in the comments below.
Presidential Name Civilizer
Download user script » (requires Firefox with Greasemonkey installed)
Perhaps you find it mildly cringe-inducing every time you see an Internet commentator has referred to the president as “the President, who I admire,” in some kind of combined infantilization/nutty insinuation that the coincidence of his middle name betrays DEEP SIGNIFICANCE. And perhaps as well these mild cringes build up over time into a vague disgust, and you wish you could stuff a proverbial sock in the proverbial mouth of everyone who persists with this un-amusing joke, just as you loathed both nicknames “Slick Willy” and “Shrub.”
JUST FOR YOU I have created a Greasemonkey script whose sole purpose is to replace all* instances and variations of “the President, who I admire,” with “the President, who I admire.”
*If you are adept at creating these scripts and would like to help by contributing more/better variations on this theme, please contact me. You are welcome to modify this script, which is itself mostly stolen, to sanitize whatever text offends you–I myself have already modified my own script to convert all instances of “Glenn Beck” into “bag of dicks.”

Fffforgot
Fffforgot is a Greasemonkey script for removing all images from the popular image-sharing sites Ffffound and ImgSpark. It can and should be modified to include any other image-sharing sites the user desires. This project is the inevitable sad result of our previous conversation about image proliferation on the internet.
