This Troper had a [[Heroic BSOD]] for stubbing his toe really hard; that was exciting. I kept one of the entries only because it was such a perfect Shaggy Dog story ("And 10 days later Nana died" -- she of course had not been mentioned until that point).

Let me try a few test edits to see if I can actually clean up Troper Tales pages to my own standards. And if that turns out to be impractical/impossible, I'll go ahead and call the vote for the majority.

Plus, I don't actually see any trademark claims being made (no "TM" on anything visible on the site), plus it's basically a one-page site for vaporware. I suspect we'll be okay.
