From Monday's Hartsveld Campaign:
So, we're battling the bad guys we've been tasked to find and a one-armed is amongst the bad guys. I've taken cover and the zapping them and ask how far the gnoll is from me, intending to zap him next.
Matt Hart (OOC): "Never mind the gnoll, there's a conga line of death between him and you!"
Unfortunately, our D&D sessions are short of what I would consider really good quotes.

Hmmm. Conga Line of Death - that sounds like a spell Vitus would come up with. But what effect would it be? Sounds like a mind control - not Vitus's sphere of specialty....

"Conga Line of Death" was how we used to refer to genestealers when playing Space Hulk back in college.

True.
It's now all anime. I swear, half the examples and a quarter of the "tropes" are nothing but anime.
And they're posted by anime fans (fanimes?) who act like every slightest variation is a different "trope".
A soft answer may turn aside wrath, but for stupidity you sometimes need a stick.

Better than the Waverly Academy fans, that insist that the fanfic has a example of every trope on the site...True.

Waverly Academy is a massive multi-author story, set in a school for superhumans. The stories include a lot of softcore porn, gender bending, 14 year olds showing up 40 year olds, mary sues, marty stus, macho stus...
Imagine fanfiction quality work done on a semi-original subject. Some of it is ok, most is dreck.

Actually, that's Whateley, not Waverly. Might be a little easier to filter if you have the correct name. Everything else you said was correct.
