ORIGINAL thread name game thread, with rules

I have my link to the Mudcat threads set so I always get three days worth, and as I was skimming the names of the threads I ran across a few pairings that reminded me of weird double feature postings on theater signs (none of which I can recall at the time). Anyway, this morning I ran across the following pairings (My mind is working a bit more strangely than usual--my dogs got me up to feed them at about 5:30 and I haven't had coffee yet):

These are random pairings; I chose only thread names that were together on the list (no fair skimming for names that are not together on the list):

Leaving Nancy/'I don't wanna play in your yard'

Coca Cola always tastes the same/AMEN

(cheating just a bit: they were actually in reverse order on the list):
Jo Offer, come back to us. All is forgiven/AMEN

Four men and a dog/Wedding at Stanton Mews

and the one that grabbed me first and started me looking for others--near the end of the list:

Bald, fat, and Ugly/My grandmother she at 93.

Great seed...For me sometimes it's just the title of the thread itself, but we do get some weird groupings.

This is worse than the hymnal game where you take the titles of hymns on facing pages and string them together for some rather interesting combinations. RATS! my agnostic household no longer has a hymnal!!

Do you think there may be a danger in this, in that some of us may actually create a thread with the sole intention of seeing the title used here?

No I thought not.

There's also something called "Found Poetry" I read about a while back, where say you're driving down the road and you read the signs you see and string them together like we're doing here with the thread names. Makes for some interesting poems, and is fun for kids on a long trip!*grin*
