How about we simply call it "I'm Sad That"?

- Agreed, moved accordingly as he actually doesn't "pause" after the word "that," and even if he did, I'd question that still.

- The ellipsis is not meant to imply a pause here; it's meant to imply continuation. And whatever happened to waiting for consensus? Heimstern Läufer

- I agree with Heimstern. This article's title needs some indication that the whole running gag isn't just mentions of Strong Sad saying "I'm sad that", but instances of him saying it, followed by indicating the reason why he is sad. Alternatively, we could move the article to I'm Sad That X to match some of our other articles, although I wouldn't choose that before I would choose the current title.

- Also, should we keep the current title, we may want to change the capitalization to I'm sad that..., although I'm not sure if that would be better or not. Shine Sprite (complain) 14:55, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'd prefer the title stay the way it is (with the elipsis instead of anything else). It's clear, it looks good, so good, what more can you ask for? It could use a more descriptive intro though (such as a little related background info on the character) --Stux 15:00, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
- How about we call it "I'm Sad That I'm X" and put the one from helium in the variation section (Since it didn't say "I'm Sad That I'm flying). Rondleman!

On a T-shirt
Do we mention the Store on these pages? I don't remember. But one shirt in the Store had the tagline "I'm sad that I'm on a T-shirt". --Jay (Talk) 20:51, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
