(This one isn’t actually dead, but it is circling the drain hard–only a handful of elderly speakers remaining. So feel free to delete if it doesn’t qualify.)

As to the next category, astorian posted before Prof. Pepperwinkle, but I don’t know how he jumped to two items in his very first post, or how Little Nemo jumped to eight. Whatevs.
13 Different Songs, Different Artists, Same Title OR Things You Will Need As You Prepare To Fight The Fire-Breathing Dragon Threatening Your Village!
“Behind the Wall of Sleep” by Black Sabbath and the Smithereens
A hearty breakfast (it’s the most important meal of the day)
“Tapestry” by Don McLean and Carole King
Bard’s bow and arrows
Twilight Zone: Golden Earring, Rush, Manhattan Transfer, and many others
Prof. Pepperwinkle posted, added the 13th item to complete the list, and started a new dragon-themed list.
At the same time, astorian posted, added the 13th item to complete the previous list, and started a new song-themed list.
Prof. Pepperwinkle saw astorian’s post, and went back and edited his own post to delete it.
At the same time, astorian saw Prof. Pepperwinkle’s post, figured he had been first, so astorian went back and edited his post. He deleted his song-themed list, substituted in Prof. Pepperwinkle’s dragon-themed list and added a second item to that list.
Prof. Pepperwinkle, meanwhile, was writing a new post. He had deleted his dragon-themed list so he posted astorian’s song-themed list and added a second item.
Anyrose came along and added a third item to both lists in two separate posts.
I came along and consolidated the six items from the two lists into a single combined list of two themes and added two additional items, one for each theme.
