Lale: Pulled "Quite frankly, the quote has enough variations to earn its own trope" since I think that's a stretch. I was told even Star Wars doesn't have enough Shout Outs to warrant its own trope, and I'd never even heard this quote until this site.
Janitor: I believe the pulled line refers to variations on "X is like revenge, a dish best served cold." Not sure what this has to do with Star Wars shout outs.
Lale: Three variations were given for the quote. If the number of Star Wars Shout Outs out there aren't enough for a separate trope, three variations of one quote certainly isn't.
Lale: Nothing in the OotP quote has to do with Evil Tastes Good...
Earnest: I wouldn't say nothing... Snape doesn't explicitly use an eating metaphor, but "exquisite" can and is used to describe food, "extracting" and "Ounce" give it a material connotation too. The dialogue made me imagine that Voldemort literally sucked out the agony as if from a crazy straw, and enjoyed it.
Rogue 7: Anyone have a page reference for the Deathly Hallows thing? As far as I can recall, the only time that Harry uses the Imperius curse is at Gringotts, and while it mentions the "heady feeling", nowhere does it mention firewhiskey. That's making out with Ginny, if I recall correctly.
Earnest: I was tempted to use this picture, but found the stormy one to be funnier. Here's the other for posterity.
Where's the "we have cookies" come from? Okay, it says it was on a T-shirt, but did it originate from somewhere older or was it the T-shirt that kicked it off? Just wondering is all.
