Did Tricky Dick have that nickname before he was elected president?  Because if he did, then maybe that should have been a hint for everyone to, you know, not elect him president.

Also, I would probably put Teddy Roosevelt in the number one spot, if only to stop his ghost from rising from the grave and beating me to death.  After all, the guy did take a bullet to the chest while giving a speech and just kept on talking.  I'm not even sure he really is dead.

And he chose to not have an operation to remove the bullet. Mainly because:

1. He didn't cough blood, so he figured he was okay.
2. Teddy became President when William McKinley died from a gun shot- or rather, died because the doctors were really stupid and the operation only made things so much worse. Teddy remembered this and chose not to have an operation.

Still not as good as Reagan's failed assassination attempt, where he made jokes about getting shot on the way to the operating table and during the operation. The best being:

(to the operators) "I hope you are all Republicans!" (replied with "Today, Mr. President, we're all Republicans.")

He's not.

He's waiting.

Wow, I'm surprised I haven't heard that before.  That's pretty hardcore.

Hi no Seijin

Heh, Cracked just had an article that mentioned the failed assassination attempt on Reagan.  The Secret Service agent who pushed Reagan into the car was inspired to join the Secret Service because of a movie Reagan starred in.  Here's the article; it's number four on the list.

Because of that, I got distracted and ended up reading, like, three or four more articles. Thanks. :P

Hi no Seijin

Oh, hey, that's exactly what happened when you first introduced me to TV Tropes.  Except it was probably more than three or four articles.

Hi no Seijin

Really?  Now that you said it's new, I have the feeling it's been done before.

It has been done before. Because it is now new.

I was browsing through TVTropes and found this:

QuoteI recently realized that the game's name refers to not one, but two beings. First, there is the one who is named Majora's Mask, for obvious reasons. However, in a way, the real Majora's Mask is the Skull Kid. After all, a mask is basically something that hides who you really are. Majora was pretending that the Skull Kid was the villain, hiding its true nature. Skull Kid was, literally, Majora's mask. In fact, this reasoning just now made me realize something even deeper: the game is largely about removing the masks to show the truth. The bosses are the guardians of Termina, but they have been forced to wear monstrous masks, which you must remove to restore the guardians. At the end of the game, in order to unlock the Fierce Deity's Mask, you must give up all of your masks except 3: the ones that contain the souls of real beings. Even the Happy Mask Salesman plays into this: he's creepy because his job is selling fake faces.-Gorank

Did you get that in the Fridge Brilliance entry or the Wild Mass Guessing entry?

...Or otherwise?
