Welcome to SPOOF MANIAC!
We are indebted to a British comedian for the word spoof. Sometime in the 19th century Arthur Roberts (1852-1933) invented a game called Spoof, which involved trickery and nonsense. The first recorded reference to the game in 1884 refers to its revival. It was not long before the word spoof took on the general sense "nonsense, trickery," first recorded in 1889. The verb spoof is first recorded in 1889 as well, in the sense "to deceive." These senses are now less widely used than the noun sense "a light parody or satirical imitation," first recorded in 1958, and the verb sense "to satirize gently," first recorded in 1927.

The Killer lampost...

"Dumb" posted in MCF : Like to share my experience. I had been parking my car at the same spot year in and year out under a lamp post. It's bright and I could see my car from my kitchen windows. No bird **** and no tree leaves except night dew. Though the car was washed regularly and well taken care, the paint work on the roof of the car started to fade after the 4th year. Gathered it must be the lamp post and the night dew.
