Working Title: Tropes Do It Again and Again: From YKTTW
Ace Of Scarabs: Is it cheating to sneak in a http(You Tube) link to a highly related Fan Vid? Never mind, other people seem to be doing it.
The Bad Wolf: is there a music index somewhere, i need to fix all the entries that someone put up non PotHoled
Freezair For A Limited Time: Taking this page literally and combining it with some of your favorite ships results in some... interesting mental images.
Cassy: Freezair, what about writing this in I Thought It Meant? It could be... interesting. :b
Mystyc: The Mario entry is brilliant. :-D
alliterator: I'm going to add a note here for all the people adding new entries to this article: they're great, but all of them should really be PotHoled. It adds another layer to the joke.
BigT: Is it part of the joke for the links not to be separated by non linked words? Because I'm thinking about changing that.
For example: * Lawyers do it in front of a jury of their peers.
Mystyc: Having almost the entire article — or at least all of the examples — is indeed part of the joke. I would love to actually achieve an All Blue Entry eventually. As a general rule, the words "do it" should be part of the same link as the subject, which enforces the division between setup and punchline. There are a couple exceptions where the entry has so many different links that you need those words on their own, though.
The Bad Wolf: All Blue Entry? done and done.
Mystyc: My hero!
Big T: Well, I personally hate it. How am I supposed to know when one link ends and the other link begins? I mean, back when all links were underlined, it made sense. But, right now, every example looks like a single link. The words "do it" are the only ones that don't really have to do with either side, so I thought they'd be a good choice for delinking.
Come on. Isn't there something we can do to separate the links without undoing the All Blue Entry? Or am I just talking to a wall?
The Bad Wolf: what browser do you use, becouse I use fireforx and if I put my pointer over a link it shows how much of it is together.
Mystyc: We just had a stack of music entries added, but without links. I blued up the main entry, but here are the individual sub-entries for anyone who can find good links for them.
- Trombonists do it in seven positions.
- Conductors do it standing up.
- Trumpeters do it with three fingers.
- Bassoons players do it awkwardly.
- Flautists do it in front.
- Cellists do it upright.
- Euphonium players do it alone.
- Clarinet players do it straight.
- Saxophone players do it loudly.
The Bad Wolf: oh come on Large Blunt Object
Shini: This is too much fun! Though I admit some of the mental images I get requires brain bleach (like Psycho Mantis one)
GAC: YAY! Snowclones!
SpiriTsunami: Actually, All Blue Entry wasn't completely blue, not to mention there was the complaint about it linking to itself. I fixed it.
Mystyc: I'm thinking it might be time to split the character entries by media type. Support? Dissent? Anyone willing to help out, because I don't think I know half of the people referenced? :D
Rissa: Support! I'd help. Maybe a good approach would be to sort the ones we can, and stick everything else in a 'Please help us sort these' folder. Call on Wiki Magic?
Mystyc: OK, I put up the category splits. I will be back tomorrow to do some sorting, but anyone who wants to get started, don't let me stop you.
Rissa: Mostly sorted now.
Servbot: And finished the last ones up.
Mystyc: Incredible. Way to go, guys. :)
SpiriTsunami: What do we do about the reference to Red Links? It ruins the all-blue-ness!
Filby: My god. The blue. So beautiful. ;_;
Vulpy: I agree. This may be my new favorite page on this site... Made Of Win for everyone!
Broken Chaos: Made Of Win to whomever has read the entire list... I panicked after about 70 lines.
Xen0nex: I can't believe I spent all afternoon adding entries to this page... I had no idea I could feel so dirty...
Crazed Ninja: Just curious, would Troper Works examples be all right to add here? Or maybe a separate Troper Tales page for them?
