I was on this article today and I wanted to ask do you think we should use the image of Dimentio's quote in Super Paper Mario for the page, and then replace that quote with something Fawful says in Bowser's Inside Story.

We could use this for the image and make this the new quote.

"You keep appearing like an ugly rabbit out of a hat of a magician who stinks!"

[up] I'd be fine with that as the pic...is that suggested quote from the same character? If so, personally I'd prefer something else, I'm not crazy about having both the pic and quote from the same character.

I don't think that image adds to the page; it's basically a quote in GIF format, with the visuals adding nothing.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

[up] True but I was hoping to change the quote to something else while keeping the original quote in image form.

@Willbyr No that quote is from Fawful in Mario and Luigi but I could find someone else to use.

It's pointless to have both. Can you suggest a replacement quote?

How about a Rolf quote from Ed, Edd, and Eddy?

"Do not burn the candle at both ends, as it leads to the life of a hairdresser."

That's a metaphor (or Literal Mindedness; I can't tell), not a simile. There was one on the quote page which I removed. If it doesn't contain the word "like" or the word "as", then it's not a simile.

Correction, though it does use the word "as", it's still not in the same way as a simile, as that is used for cause and effect, not comparison. Like: "Slide as a snake."

Alright bit of a boring one but how about this quote.
