we've got Image Source, we've got Quote Source... but what about Name Source? (yes that's not what it's called whatever)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trope_namer_bingo_round_1.png

you get the idea: hit Random Trope, say what it is, say the Trope Namer, and if it's on the board, we mark it!

no Trope Namer for that trope? hit Random Trope again until you get one! (also for the sake of convenience, if you hit something on the board but it's already been marked, we can count that as a reroll)

we keep going until we get a five in a row in any direction: vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. we'll see how long it'll take us to get a bingo! and then we continue on and on until basically the end of time (or the end of this site, i guess).

ready?

then here we... GO!

Fighting Fingerprint... nothing here.

Duel of Seduction, i almost feel like it should be a pun on a "Dance of Deduction", but then again, that's just a normal phrase, so eh

Hysterical Woman, definitely nothing

Old-Timey Cinema Countdown, that's just a desccriptor

Cannot Dream, yet another descriptor, i'd be impressed if it was a Trope Namer

Umbrellas Are Lightning Rods, still nothing

Product as Superhero, this is a trope?

Stingy Jack... okay, i'm counting this one purely because Classical Mythology is on the board. this doesn't count as Classical Mythology tho lol, it's just Irish folklore

anyways, board update!
