1 I'm pretty sure you took it wrong way. To me it sounds like a perfectly level remark after the link.

That particular article in the Tropes page was about people who write pretentious analyses of things.

I didn't think my TMW about Bottle Fairy was particularly pretentious.

3 I missed that, sorry.

4 Gaaaaah!  It was just after midnight, and now it's 4:00!

*sob*

5 That TMW is more like a "what if", is what you're saying?

6 It was just another way of looking at things. I do that a lot.

7 After far too many hours lost in that site, I have reached the conclusion that about 2/3 of the entries are just someone trying to increase their e-peen.   If they can find anything remotely in the ballpark, It.Is.The.Best.Example. EVAAARR!!!!!!!!

For evidence, I submit the insanely long list for "Crowning Moment of Awesome" (now thankfully hidden under recursive links).  I mean, really -- most of those don't even qualify as "Took a Level in Badass."  I'm tempted to add "Konata eating a chocolate coronet!" to the list, just to make fun of it.  (Yes I checked. And no, no one's already listed it.)

In other words, don't get worked up over some lamer.
