The image is Ted and a pineapple, completely relying on the caption to say how he had no idea how he ended up with a pineapple. I say pull.

Yeah, not really getting it from the current. +1 to pull.

Weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

It's at least as good as the image on My Greatest Failure, which has a similar image+caption setup.

Wow, the one in My Greatest Failure is pretty bad on its own...

[up] Just a Face and a Caption

The image is specifically called out as not JAFAAC in the above page.

I disagree with the official decision, then. I don't see the failure in that picture.

The pic on My Greatest Failure is one of Eddie's admin fiat pics from long ago, and while it may technically be JAFAAC, I think it's amusing enough on its own to be decisively in Keep Until Better Image Suggested territory.

I'm fine with keeping the My Greatest Failure pic.

Current for Riddle for the Ages is a weak keep due to the general bizarness of the picture combined with the caption, but I'd be down for ditching it if somebody fronts a good replacement.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

Keep Until Better Image Suggested on both.

Weak keep: the weirdness of having a pineapple on your nightstand is reflected in Ted's facial expression, and shows the "riddle" part of the trope reasonably well. A better picture would need to show the "for the ages" part as well (that the question never got answered) and I'm not sure that's easily done in a single picture.
