No, it sounds better that way - because donnie is two syllables.  Don - ee now our gay apparal sounds better than "Donnie we now"

[EUOL]

That was, actually, the joke.  As the items moved down the list, they grew progressively more removed from the word at the top.  Donnie Darko is first--an exact match.  Then Donny Osmond, a homonym that is still a name.  Then Don Knotts, which is a shortened version of the original.  

Then we move on to Donalds Duck and Trump, where we're extrapolating the name at the top into other versions, rather than just shortening it.  Then we have Dawn Wells, which not only uses a homonym of a shortened version, but switches the name to a female one.

We now our Gay apparel was supposed to be the last, and most ridiculous of the options, as it took a version of the name and used it in a non-name context, making it the punchline of the set.  I'm not sure where the last three options came from.

[Peter Ahlstrom]

Yeah, I think it should have "we" in there.

[Fellfrosch]

I didn't notice the progression, and took the "we" out for the same reason Fuzzy mentioned. I also re-ordered a few of them, and added in the last three to make a full 12. Sorry to have missed your original intention--if I'd known that the order had a reason, I would have left it intact.

[EUOL]

Yeah, I noticed a few of them were out of order.  Quijote and Of the Dead don't make sense in the progression as they are.

But, no biggie.  It's just a silly little word play I was fooling around with one day.

Hey, where are the results from the last thread?  The salt lick won, right?

[Fellfrosch]

Yes it did.

One of the choices should have been, "Who's the Pillsbury Doughboy?"

[Oldie Black Witch]

Or who's still looking for Mr. Goodbar?

[Chimera]

I laughed at the current poll, the one about discovering identities, because I could honestly mark this choice:
"No seriously, I want to know who my real dad is."
...because I'm adopted!

[JP Dogberry]

So what happened to Poll Results articles?

[Fellfrosch]

I grew very bored by them. I should probably do them anyway, but...you know.

And his apprentice wasn't pleased by this so he went on strike to form an "Apprentice Articler's" union. Which was later shot down and reformed as the Writer's Guide to America, which was quickly disbanded and reformed as the Writer's Guild of America. Both of which are highly infamous.

I can start doing poll results. I'll just have to notice when they change.
