The trope image shows a top view of some blurry people holding circles, which I assume are supposed to be drinks, and somehow the words "dook" and "slosh" are supposed to tell us how these blurry people dispose of their drinks. Or something. It's very unclear without the caption, really.

Discreet Drink Disposal is a pretty common trope in fiction, so I'm sure we can find a better example.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

It's alright, but if someone's got something better I'd be open to discussion.

What comes to mind immediately is the Discreet Drink Disposal of the poisoned drinks from The Emperors New Groove. I'll do some GIS-ing.

Dang it, this is animated.

If we don't find anything else, the current caption has to go.

[up] A static screencap would be fine, it's just really small.

Kronk is actually the first thing I thought of when I read this thread. I think it works perfectly.

Like the Kronk image. smile

Should there be a caption or no?

Kronk and suggested caption both get my vote.

So, does anybody have an objection to Kronk or to Willbyr's caption? This seems like a closed deal. I'd do the honors myself, but I have a (short) history of jumping the gun and I want to make sure that I play nice! :)

I say we wait another few hours or so to see if anyone objects to the change (I, for the record, love the suggested pic).

The suggested one is ok, but I don't see any problems with the current image (Beside the caption)
