The Unknown
Just find a really fancy picture of a pocket watch exploding or something.
I actually could have sworn we had something like that for this page already, but apparently not.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

This page did have such an image once, but it was pulled because the picture in question was copyrighted.
Perhaps we could do something else with that "exploding clock" theme? There are a lot of surrealistic paintings that show watches distorting.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
I think Dali is pretty famous for his melting clock paintings. [1]

Using a Dali painting for this sounds good to me.
That's a very literal use of the trope name.

I think for a trope like this, we can afford to be literal (even if it means technically not being illustrative).

Huh. Weren't you the one who suggested to use a "picture of a pocket watch exploding or something"?
The problem with imaging this trope, without using a Visual Pun of some sorts, would rely heavily on context. The OP suggestion makes no sense.
What's the guideline for images anyway? For trope descriptions we have: clear, concise, witty. Are we happy with filler images like visual puns that don't have any use other than make the page look more interesting?
No, the other one.
If we don't have a clear illustration, and a witty one doesn't make the page less clear, I find it a plus. Whether it's concise stands outside that, I think.

That's your take. I wonder if there is a word of advice from the TV Tropes Council regarding Dos and Dont's for images.
Hi
My take is that it would be about on the order of the pic on Flying Brick...my call for this page would be to either go with the Dali pic or make it a BUPKIS page.
That Dali pic at wiki size:
Bump. Other thoughts or suggestions?

14 is good.

Filthy casual
I could go with 14.

No, the other one.
Well, it's pretty to look at, so there's that.

How sweet it is

Hi
I'm still good with the clock unless we get a last minute suggestion.
Hi
The clock's up and there's enough consensus to go with the clock, so it's up and tagged. Locking up.
This image
◊ for Time Crash didn't go anywhere in the suggestion thread. Any other ideas?
