Yu-Gi-Oh! is my favourite. The other is longer and contains much poorly-pertinent material.

Yu Gi Oh, for conciseness if nothing else.

Well, both are opinions, but not everyone would agree that arachnophobia is the worst fear out there. I say keep the Garfield quote and put the other one in the quotes page. Also, Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? will need their examples transferred. I'll bring that up else where.

Edit: I made the quotes page, added the quote, made the page a sub-page, and erased the quote from the main page. Revert it if you disagree with my discussion.

I would've kept the Cracked quote.

You can change it. You have more power than me (my first instinct was the cracked quote, but I didn't pick it for the above reason).

Mad Oracle has two page quotes, and neither one strikes me as particularly effective. There's a whole list on the quotes page, but none of them really stand out for me. Seeking opinions on the best choice. (New suggestions welcome, of course.)

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Smarter Than You Look has an overly-long and distraction-filled quote. Unfortunately, there's no quotes page to offer a replacement.

For Four-Girl Ensemble would it be okay to replace the current with:

->Together, it was as if we formed one single, complete person. ->Wild, unstoppable Bridget. ->Shy and beautiful Lena. ->Tibby, the rebel. ->And me, Carmen, the writer. ->~ Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants

I don't think that's any better.

I do; it seems to fit the personality-based criteria a little better.

To clarify: I don't think either quote provides a clear example of the four mentioned personalities (sweet, tomboy, sexy, responsible).

Though on looking it over, I think Wilbyr has a point that the Traveling Pants quote is slightly clearer.

The Hilarious Outtakes quote from Rush Hour is great. It's clearly an outtake since it is obviously not from the film, it's funny, and it works well.

Getting back to Resignations Not Accepted - somebody expanded the Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days quote. Did we still want to use the The Godfather line?

[up] I say yes. The Kingdom Hearts one can be moved to the Quotes tab.
