Anyway, back on topic, are we good with the squirrel image?

I slightly prefer the bird one, partly because you see more of the cat in that one, (and it looks cooler IMO) but would be okay with seeing it changed over.

I tend to only look at the first part of the word, that's how most people do it anyway.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.

... and that leads to messing up the title, as clicking on that link shows.

I say just leave it as it is. Quite frankly, I feel that if someone is inattentive enough to miss that crucial difference that is their problem.

But nowadays I thought we can fix default trope names automatically? Motorhead automatically has the umlaut and What Do You Mean, It's Not Awesome? has all the punctuations.

That being said, I don't think it's a big problem either.

Meh, it's just that it seems somewhat silly to me to have the trope name revolve around those who get their trope names mixed up because they do not pay attention to a word that means the opposite of what they mistook it for. Of course, I only speak for myself here.

I don't have a problem with the title either. Also, "without" is a much longer word than "with"; even at a quick glance, they don't look the same.

Eitherway this aint TRS, so may we get back on topic?

Well yeah, my points were simply against a rename anyway, which was pretty much equivalent to being dismissive of the tangential point to begin with.

I wasn't suggesting a rename, I was just confused.

Bump...I'm good with the squirrel pic, maybe captioned "I see you..."

Why is that better than the current one, though?

Because the cat is in focus, and it's humourous?

Caption suggestion. "Target acquired, excute Jaws theme."

I'd prefer "Da-nuh. Da-nuh. Da-nuh-nuh-nuh." potholed to Jaws or something.

Should we get a crowner for the caption?

[up][up] I was trying to think of some way to incorporate the Jaws theme in the caption...that's just about perfect.

I think that's how it goes. I've never seen the movie itself.

It's closer to Dah-Nuh... Dah-Nuh... Dah-Nuh, Dah-Nuh, Dah-Nuh-Dah-Nuh-Dah-Nuh-Dah-Nuh Dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah

Try to transcribe it yourself:

Insidently, the Jaws poster is also a good image. See

Goddammit, I can't get the fucking code to work right...it keeps saying "bad video code" even though it plays just fine on You Tube itself...grrrrrr...already pissed off, this is just the icing on the cake.

I think it's the putting it in the caption that's causing the problem. 'cause the embed code wants to put the video on the page, but the caption code wants to use it as an outside link.
