"There are people who wish to be treated like idiots. I've dedicated my life to fulfilling their wish."
T-Jack's signature line
T-Jack is a long time lurker and not-that-active contributor. He aspires to become a writer, not a famous writer, just one with a small fanbase; however, his procrastination prevents him from fulfilling this dream. He is currently a contributor for the
good "xkcd-sucks" blog
.
Note: For some reason, the wiki itself calls him
T Jack (note the distinct lack of prized hyphen). Might be important in case someone ever wanted to send him a PM.
He is the author of these tropes' YKTTWs:
This troper provides examples of:
- Beige Prose: A problem he runs into constantly when writing practically anything, be it homework or that epic fantasy saga he's been planning for a long rime now.
- Berserk Button: He had a lot of them as a kid, but over the years he managed to master the skill of self-control. The only way that can still send him flying is by forcing one's subjective opinions unto others.
- Blind Without 'Em: Well, if your definition of "blind" is "cannot recognize faces more than three meters away".
- Brilliant, but Lazy: Emphasis on the "lazy" part.
- Catch Phrase: "Stick it up your nose and turn it." You'll earn this one by bothering him with something he doesn't care about.
- Collector of the Strange: Quotes. If any other collector reads this, know that T-Jack is willing to exchange quote files.
- Death Glare: Granted, it almost never works, but he still does it.
- Department of Redundancy Department: A favorite trope. When he feels like it, he'll pepper his speech with it.
- Facepalm: A standard response to witnessing something (he perceives as) stupid.
- Genre Savvy: Mainly thanks to TV Tropes.
- Rule Of Cool and Rule of Funny: Sometimes he'll do something for absolutely no reason than for the sake of cool/funny. The last time was when he bought a ripping chisel.
- Running Gag:
- "We're in the woods." "I know." "Then DON'T SHOUT". The first time his friend yelled that, he nearly pissed himself laughing.
- "Two." Which is a code word for that one time when this troper and his friend (the same as in the previous example) calculated how long would it theoretically take to wipe out the whole population of the Czech Republic by paving a parade ground.
- So Yeah: A repeated offender. He is reportedly very bad at finishing anything, be it speeches, stories or trope examples, so...
- The Slacker
And a list of things that happen in his life that are not tropes but as well might be (one could classify these as Running Gags, though):
- Student's Choice: At high school he attended, whenever a student was asked a question with only two possible answers and the student didn't know the correct answer, he would invariably pick the wrong one. One teacher would always point this fact out.
- Umbrella Rule: A particularly well noted phenomenon in his family. The original rule states that "Whether or not it will rain on the trip is directly related to whether or not you take an umbrella". Yes, it's basically Murphy's Law BUT MORE SPECIFIC, but it almost always works.
- What Did I Forget: It is a rule that every time this troper and/or his family travel somewhere for more than one day, they will forget something. It is now common to lampshade this by saying "So, what did I/we forget?" before leaving.
Also, apparently he is a list fetishist...
