One or two more votes for 16 and we can run with it.

And there we go. The pic's up, potholed, and tagged. I kept the old caption and potholed it to Arabian Nights, although I wouldn't necessarily mind to replace it with the current page quote or strike it entirely. Thoughts?

The current caption seems a little out of place to go with such a cartoonish image, but would work nicely as a quote. I can't think of anything more suitable to the image right now, but Norm the Genie is a Jerkass Genie and takes delight in screwing people over. Everyone always uses the third wish to wish they had never found his lamp.

I know that has nothing to do with anything important, I just felt like pointing it out.

^ I second that the caption should be a quote, I think it works better than the current quote.

Disagree. The current quote is about the trope, but the caption is just about a genie, though he is connected to the lamp. It's a most excellent quote for another page, though.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

How 'bout this - someone post a couple more relevant quotes, and we can create a quotes page for them and the current caption to go on, and then we can be done.

[up] YES! THAT! A direct line right from the episode itself.

Yep. Though there's going to be a better trope to pothole in that list.

Yeah the Smoof stuff should link to some sort of phlebotenum trope.

The exact same episode the Title card we're using as the page image is from.

This is a non-issue. All Blue Entry is more about when every single word leads to a different sinkhole; this is all one link.

[up][up]If it's an All Blue Entry, then why doesn't the site take me to another page when I click on the first few words?

As stated, All Blue Entry is when there's a bunch of potholes strung together. Since that's all from one source, it's fine. When it's moved to the quote page, it's not going to matter because it'll be formatted as a quote.

Yeah, the caption is Chained Sinkholes. I do not like it.

Yeah, the caption is now exactly what we were grousing about in the first place.
