Your Mom...

So it's one o'clock in the morning and I've been sucked into TV Tropes since about 8.30 last night (not last last night, five hours ago). I'm trying to extricate myself, I really am. I only have five TV tropes tabs open. I've got another hour, tops.

Anyway, I'm on the Older Than They Think page and came across this gem.

• The Other Wiki goes into the usual humorously serious detail on how "Your Mom" jokes are older than people think; used, for example, by Shakespeare.
  • It probably wasn't long after the creation of language that every possible way to insult someone was explored in depth.
    • That's about the same time that your mom was explored in depth.

OMG, I laughed so hard at that. Honest, it's things like that which make the whole time-sucking vortex worth it.

Oh, and if you don't know enough about the internet to know to avoid virtually every one of those links, you are on your own. See you next April.

(Almost worse than Stumble)

Dear TV Tropes,

I know that the time sucking vortex you call a website has been commented on before. Several times in fact. Any link to TV Tropes must be treated with caution.

So I had an idea. Why not, every dozen or so pages you click on, throw up one if those 'go outside and play' screens like stumble does when it goes down for maintenance. It would be hilarious. No really, it would. Yours could say 'Hey, why don't you go watch some television instead of just reading about it?'. See? I'm laughing already.

Just a thought.

I love you.

Really...

The Heroine
