-Inevitably, people either send a blank message with "unsubscribe" as the subject, thinking that the list is powered by one of those Majordomo-type programs that accept email-based commands, or they just send a message ''asking'' to be unsubscribed. This always results in a barrage of sarcastic replies, mentioning the instructions at the bottom of every message. We always act annoyed at the person's stupidity, but I think, in general, we all secretly find it entertaining.

 === What's the song from "Wizard Power"? ===
@@ Line 35: / Line 35: @@
 One of the most common reasons people subscribe to the list is to ask for the name of the song in Neil Cicierega's hyperactive Animutation ''[[Wizard Power]]''. Often, when a new person subscribes to the list and makes their presence known, even if they don't ask, one of the old elitists will look down their virtual nose, take their virtual pipe or cigar out of their virtual mouth, and say, "The song in 'Wizard Power' is [[Music/New Wave Jacket|New Wave Jacket]]."
-Oh, and nobody knows the lyrics, so don't bother asking.
+For a while, this meme involved wording like "The song in 'Wizard Power' is New Wave Jacket and nobody knows the lyrics." However, lyrics and an English translation have since surfaced.

+=== Terminology ===
 Over time, many words are coined on the list, and a good number of them make their way into common usage amongst the list members. A more complete list will be available at [[Animutation glossary]], but some popular words include:
