IThoughtItMeant.X To Z has an image based on You Got Spunk!, which was merged with Baddie Flattery by this TRS thread, so You Got Spunk!'s entry had to be removed from the page. Previously, IThoughtItMeant.S To T had its image replaced (link to thread) after Supernatural Is Purple was merged with Technicolor Magic, so we ought to do the same thing here (or at least remove the image).

I'm defaulting to pulling regardless of replacement, but since someone made an image that's a play on Sequel Hook after Supernatural Is Purple's image was pulled a previous time I Thought It Meant came up on IP, maybe we can get a replacement up.

Edit: Maybe we could get an image based on You Can't Thwart Stage One (or rather, its jocular misinterpretation/misrepresentation on the page), showing a short montage someone getting a Game Over in the first level of a video game (showing a screenshot of the character dying with the HUD displaying that it's the first level, followed by showing the Game Over screen).

Another one that could work is an image of a calendar, with a caption potholed to Your Days Are Numbered. My first thought was the calendar from the intro of Phineas and Ferb, but that's already on Exploding Calendar.

[up]I think having a calender for Your Days Are Numbered is better than my suggestion, not to mention much simpler to implement.

Edit: Maybe borrowing an image from Wikimedia Commons' calendar category would work if we want to keep things simple.

Edit: Well, if we're going with a calendar, maybe for a caption we could go with this:

Your Days Are Numbered... all 365 of them.

Edit: How about this? Here's the source page. The CC-BY license is compatible with our license (due to the lack of the SA clause usually used by Wikimedia), if that matters.

Edit: Moved the Your Days Are Numbered link to a pothole for the image instead of having it in the caption (I figured having it in both would be redundant).

I sort of want a Count Von Count-esque "Four. Four Days. AHAHAHAHA" as the caption, but know that likely won't work.

Calling in favor of 3 since there have been several votes in favor, none against, and no other suggestions.

Is the caption I suggested OK, or does anyone have any other ideas?

I'm fine with the caption

I did see that FernandoLemon corrected a mistake of mine by moving the wick for the trope to the caption instead of the image, so aside from that change (which was a minor correction and not a major change), I can't think of anything, so I'll give the caption discussion at least a day. (Or another mod can take the reins from here since I don't usually handle IP moderation.)
