Describe billybobfred here.

I like obvious main titles with clever redirects (because Redirects Are Free). Also, needs more examples.

Lumper vs. Splitter? ... Good question. I hate soft splits, though; if you're going to split a page, just split it and be done with it.

No Natter, please. These are articles, not discussions.

Your "clever" potholes to So Bad Its Horrible and Dis Continuity are not. If I Am Not Making This Up still existed, I'd say that it, too, is not as clever as you think. Do not pothole to "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer in its place.

Rape The Dog should never have been called that in the first place. Same with The Simpsons Did It.^note Seriously. We have a page for "tropes that appeared in The Simpsons". It's called The Simpsons.

I don't know why you people can't pothole single-word articles, back in my day, uphill both ways, and we liked it...

Has encountered the following tropes in Real Life^note "Real Life" is hereby defined as "anything too self-inserty to put on a normal example list".:

• all lowercase letters: My username! Some people use CamelCase for my name. These people are wrong.
• Archive Binge: The best part of a webcomic!
• Crack Pairing: My favorite kind of pairing.
• Ear Worm: A new one every month or so...
• Everyone Is Bi: Seriously. Everyone.
• Insane Troll Logic: I once used basic math to "prove" that, because of Americans eating too much McDonald's, nobody in the entire world (including said greedy Americans) had ever eaten at McDonald's. I wish I could remember how, it was hilarious.
• Orwellian Retcon: It had only been up for ten minutes, but I still felt I had to inform the tiny number of people (probably just one) that had seen the original version that "you didn't see any gaping plot holes, all right?"

My Favorite Tropes include (because there is no way I can list them all even if I remember them):

• Blunt Yes
• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs
• Stereo Fibbing
• [Trope Name]

My Pet Peeve Tropes include (see above):

• Complaining about People Not Liking the Show
• Fan Hater
• Jump Scare (I startle easily, which I hate, and they're not really scary anyway.)
• Truck Driver's Gear Change (I can not listen to a song with this in it, even if the rest of it is the best thing ever)

Tropes I have created (and remember):

• Infinity–1 Sword
• Play Every Day

Responsible (at least in part) for the renames of the following tropes:

• Subjective Tropes to Subjectives: I pointed out that the banner now said "this is not a trope". Before you shout Ruined FOREVER, realize that if I hadn't, someone else would have—it's a pretty glaring inconsistency. And I didn't choose the new name.
  • I was not, however, responsible in any way for the subsequent re-rename to YMMV.
• Switching To GEICO to Bad News, Irrelevant News: I created a witty redirect based on one of the examples, and someone decided it was better.
• Quote Bin to Quotes Looking for an Article: I wanted a quote version of Examples Searching for a Trope, and was unaware that we already had Quote Bin. Someone decided it was better.
• ... and probably more that I can't remember.

OMG A LINE

If you have something to say about me, this is a good place to say it. Wiki Magic makes everything better! (This is the "vandalize here" part of the page.)
