 * Original hook is too cute. Save that kind of obscure wording for April Fool's Day. --Orlady (talk) 19:49, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Then can I? I wouldn't mind actually getting something unorthodox through this time. GRAPPLE   X  19:56, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That would be decided by the crowd at April Fool's Main Page/Did You Know. Candidly, I don't think this would be sufficiently outrageous for April Fool's Day. Obscure wording alone is not sufficient to make a hook suitable.... --Orlady (talk) 20:16, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't use it for fish day. With proper capitalization, maybe as a quirky. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:03, 22 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Hook needs to be hammered out. AGF on offline sources. Suggested ALTs: ALT1 ... that the selfish X is the opposite of the selfless Deep Throat?, ALT2: ... that after the selfless Deep Throat comes the selfish X? Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:10, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess either of those would work fine. GRAPPLE   X  14:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * From Orlady on my talk page: ALT3: ... that in 2009 Entertainment Weekly listed X as one of 20 "black sci-fi icons"?  Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:12, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That'd be good too. Any of the suggested alts seem grand to me. GRAPPLE   X  07:14, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * ALT3 to prep as no third party has given feedback on the others. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:25, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
