If people think the tongue was used to shoot the gun with, if anything it makes the image stronger.

I still think it's about equal with the Yoshi pic, so I don't mind either.

I said "worried", not that I'm not willing to use that pic.

Let's just run a crowner and settle this proper-like.

I downvoted Yoshi, in one pic he's using the tongue for eating and in the others the usage of the tongue (as opposed to, say, a proboscis) isn't as obvious as in the Schlock pic.

This looks fairly decisive.

A shame, because I would've preferred the non-webcomic image (we seriously use a lot of those... I suppose Mario's not exactly underrepresented either, but still).

And before anyone points out that overuse is not the primary criterion on which to judge images: I know. But when the images are (personally) on equal footing with regards to the proper criteria, it seems fair that it should enter consideration.

I'd say we've got consensus. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no?

[up] That crossed my mind but under the circumstances, it doesn't seem like it would fit.

That being said, does the deliberate manipulation of the context of an image make-or-break a caption candidate? Personally, I think 59 holds some merit. Whether or not that's the one that works best all things considered, I don't know.

Would potholing it to Sarcasm Mode be abuse of that trope?

Yes. Sarcasm Mode is supposed to be "the creator uses a different font or typographic convention to indicate sarcasm".

We're trying to clear out the sinkholes where it's simply used to indicate "Hey, I'm being sarcastic here."

Sorry.sad

[up] No problem. smile I was thinking we'd had a discussion along those lines, wanted to confirm one way or the other.

We did have a discussion on Sarcasm Mode here. Most importantly, I can't find any place where it's said that potholes aren't examples.

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
