Poor Image: Tandem Parasite

Came across it as the only LPS trope image as of now, but I did notice that the pic is small and rather artifacted.

I can get a higher quality version of the image. Maybe that will better show that the twins aren't actually pedaling, too.

Definitely needs a quality upgrade.

This Super Dickery image◊ works as a great replacement. It shows Batman and Superman leaving Robin to do all the work.

Oh, #3 is ever so much better! It's clearer, it's larger, and it's funnier.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

yeah I found it listed on the examples right there on the page. Best part is that it doesn't need to be downsized very much to Wiki size.

Who on earth is Wyoming Kid? :D

(also, great pic!)

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

(also, what's with the page quote? I don't see how that relates to the trope?)

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

The Wyoming Kid, in case you're wondering. Cowboys and Indians were very popular back then.

Yeah, the page quote has nothing to do with anything. The song mentions a use of a tandem bike later on in the lyrics, but still has nothing to do with the trope.

The page quote issue is being discussed in its own tread. As for the pic, for 5.

We really need a prominent permalink to wherever it is that quotes can be discussed. Because as far as I know, until a couple months ago, that was also the function of Image Pickin'.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

...no? It's had a dedicated thread since at least 2012.

LOL, that's a great one.

Here's a higher quality version of the original, which, in retrospect, isn't as great. We could also put one in Image Links.

The page quote is lyrics from "Daisy Bell" (HAL 9000 sings it). It would be better to have to whole verse, especially the relevant part. But, I suppose it doesn't quite fit thinking about it.

Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.

I'm for the Superdickery pic; the upgraded version of the current can be merged into its example on the page.

I think either works.

Check out my fanfiction!

@Willbyr How does that work? You don't mean having two pictures on the page, do you?

No, I mean the suggestion would be linked in the example instead of actually showing up, while the other would actually be the pic. If we can find two or three more good pics, then an Image Links page would be okay...I really don't like creating an IL page for just one pic.

Bumping this up. Do we have enough of a consensus to go with the Superdickery pic?

Yeah. Go ahead and replace.

Done.

Now, does anyone knows where to find a better quality version of the old image to link on its example entry?

See my post (number 12). Not the best but it's the best I can do.

Ah, right. Everything's done, now. I guess we're good to close?

Yeah, that caption works well. Locking up.
