Revert, it doesn't need to be the whole song, and it reads poorly.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Should Neologism's quote be moved to Portmanteau's Quotes page / removed, due to being all about Portmanteaus?

[up] I thought we didn't allow Troper quotes anyway? Neologism's is from Fast Eddie.

Infallible Narrator and Flashback have the same quote.

Would a snippet of the "I Ate The Divorce Papers" monologue from Goodbye Charles be a good fit for Foot-Dragging Divorcee ? Here's a link to a video of it for clarity.

[up][up] This quote from The Muppet Christmas Carol would work for Infallible Narrator, though a longer version of it is the page quote for Narrator Tropes:

Rizzo: How do you know what Scrooge is doing? We're down here, and he's up there.
Gonzo: I keep telling you: storytellers are omniscient, I know everything.

I don't think we can use the same quote even if we use a long and short version.

I would vote to move the quote—long or short—to Infallible Narrator. I think it fits better there.

I'm a little disturbed at the source of Irrational Hatred's quote. It's a good quote, but PressTV is Iranian state-run media and I'm not sure if having a quote from them is a good idea. Keep, or remove?

[up] The quote itself doesn't promote any type of state-media propaganda, so I don't see an issue with it.

Agreed.


I am not satisfied with Tragic AIDS Story's quote. RENT is famously about characters with AIDS, but the quote doesn't mention that at all so it doesn't help if you're not familiar with the show.

Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow,
from this nightmare?
— "Will I?", RENT

I added the Sex Education quote to the quotes page some time ago and now I am thinking it might be a better pagetopper, since it's a discussion?

Nurse: Do you engage in unprotected sex?
Anwar: Every film I’ve seen with a gay person ends with them having sex and dying of AIDS. I don’t wanna die. So, yeah, I always use a condom.

The actual quote for The Lopsided Arm of the Law is fine, but the attribution is complaining. Suggested rewrite?

Any thoughts on my Worthless Yellow Rocks query over the page?

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.
