Suggestion: Nightmare Fuel.Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

You know, for kids!◊

Opened.

Throw a fucking dart. Pretty much any image from those things would be more than suitable.

Seems appropriate enough.

I say that looks adequately terrifying. I wasn't sure of that caption before reading the actual article. I'm not sure if it's better or not to link the caption to The Nostalgia Critic, since he coined that phrase.

Technically the Coen Brothers did, but I do read that in my mind in Doug's voice.

Any other suggestions before I proceed?

It would definitely be to The Hudsucker Proxy if it was potholed anywhere.

I'm good with that combo and rodney's suggested pothole.

Personally I'd either not pothole it at all or pothole between the two, since while one's the origin, the other's been absorbed by Popculture Osmosis.

I don't think it has. I hear the line in the voice of Tim Robbins, and I'm sure a lot of other people do too.

To save on argument, I'll just point out that You Tube'ing "you know for kids" brings up first a Nostalgia Critic video with 37,000 views, followed by a Hudsucker Proxy video with 18,000 views.

That doesn't surprise me at all, given that the movie is 20 years old and that's a comparison to a web search about a web video.

Saying the phrase was "coined" by Doug Walker or even that he's more well-known than a Coen brothers movie is extreme Fan Myopia.

I never said he coined it.

But pop culture has mutated into him being more known for the line than the Coen Brothers.

But again, that's an arguable sentiment, hence why I'd rather it pothole both or neither.

I don't know why we'd bother potholing it at all. I wouldn't link the phrase with anybody in particular; I've heard it plenty of times and I haven't seen either of those works. If it's so ingrained into public consciousness that we have to argue over where it came from, it probably means that we don't need to bother potholing it.

That's not a bad idea either...or we could just come up with something different.

Like I said, I'm fine with not potholing it.

I was going to say the caption should be a link (not a pothole) to What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?, but I see that page is YMMV, so I'm not sure it's cool to have that link on a Main/ page.

I've gone ahead and put up the pic...using the suggested caption without a pothole works best for me pending other suggestions.

I'd say we're done here.

Just one day? No, let's wait.

One day? We've been talking about the image for two weeks, with no dissent. The only issue was the caption, which everyone was fine with (except where to pothole it to), but I think no pothole is a suitable enough compromise

So yeah, it's been half a week. We can shut this down.

Yeah, this one's stalling out. Locking up.
