Existing users, 
silliness: great
readability of silly menus: bad
no silly adjustable slider (opacity, randomness, include your own): bad
no global off button for silliness: bad
so, let's see. three bads and one great?? hmmm, i call that a win FOR silliness. it's so refreshing and software expanding that it wins hands down.
all dev'ers should consider these types of enhancements. it's kinda why i went mac in '95. cooler.
keep ya'dome up, haxieboy. to be a leader, you gotta take heat. stay up! but do it right - a-duh, some peeps won't want it so a-drrr, put an off button!!!
*anyone got sites where i could get more animations for the menus? i'd love to load my own, even tho haxieboy has some great starts. thanks....

If you drill down into the package contents of the Menu Master v1.4.3b4 preference pane file you will find the folder where the Quartz animations are kept. There is no reason you could not remove those you don't like or add another such as any of those used in screensavers. How compatible new .QTZ files will be with MM is another matter.~/Library/PreferencePanes/Menu Master.prefPane
OR
/Library/PreferencePanes/Menu Master.prefPane
As ever, when hacking with an application it is critical to BACK IT UP first then play around with a COPY. Never mess with your only original copy.
PS1: There ARE and ON/OFF checkboxs for both the Silly Menu Animations and MM itself. The silliness is on by default. Turn it off after it drives you crazy. Turn it on again when you want to be driven crazy some more.
PS2: It is advised (by me) to only install Haxies (and other such stuff) into USER accounts and never into the overall account for your boot volume. WHY? Because Haxies occasionally do messed up things to your system or your applications. When you do troubleshooting to find out if a Haxie is to blame for some problem it is critical to be able to boot to a test account that has NOTHING loading when you log in except what Apple provides. That way you can determine if your Mac OS X installation is to blame versus something else. If Haxies load into every account you create, that messes up your testing ability.
