  I%20like%20that%20one.

• Perhaps, R2. But as Lamont Sanford said to Fred, "That's why you're you and I'm me."

  OP%2C%20flying%20off%20into%20the%20ether

• Joan of Arc, because the occasional Christian claiming to hear the voice of God keeps the DL on its toes. Medea, as a rival to Ms Patsy Ramsey. Paul Lynde George Bernard Shaw, for a droll critique of everything. Marie Antoinette, because we can all relate to losing your head over a basket. Can Bea Arthur be considered historical now?

• ---

• Thomas de Mahy, the original grammar troll

• Katherine Mansfield The Baron Montesquieu Truman Capote Dorothy Parker Victor Hugo Clifton Webb Herman Manckiewicz Cole Porter Dawn Powell Tallulah Bankhead

• I think Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly would have loved this place!

• [quote]Thomas de Mahy, the original grammar troll In French, as if that even counts. [italic]Hmph.[/italic]

  Henry%20Fowler

• definitely paul lynde. he's the epitome of the cunty DL poster. he should have had a reserved spot as R1. Judy Garland had a razor-sharp wit, as did Truman Capote and Tallulah Bankhead. Conductor Thomas Beecham also had a hilarious and cutting mouth on him. Patrick Dennis would have been screamingly funny on DL.

• Anne Frank. The concern trolls would love her.

• Elliott Roosevelt could be our Friday Afternoon Drinkie-Poo Troll John Wilkes Booth, Birther/Bitter Racist Troll Annie Oakley, the Reba Troll Henry VI, Emo Troll

  OP

• Carrie Nation.

• Cecil Beaton, resident fabulous eldergay.

• Can we avoid repeats, please?

• Richard Pryor

• Jeffery Dahmer

• Scott Peterson, for his admirers, because he likes to be admired.

• Anne of Cleves, the King's Beloved Sister

• Calamity Jane

• Why all the straight women? Let's get a few more gay men in here. Alfred, Lord Douglas Walt Whitman Ronald Firbank Erte Edward Lear George Cukor

• Nellie bly Consuelo Vanderbilt

• R16: Tsk, tsk, tsk.

• Henry VI would have been terrible, OP. Such silliness. He would do nothing but share his latest prayers and called for peace and understanding, between babbling seizures. Don't we have enough fraus?

• Quentin Crisp John Wayne Gacy Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas (Trade Annie Oakley for) Calamity Jane Yukio Mishima De Sade Coco Chanel Bessie Smith Anthony Perkins, the nasty bitch.

• Lester Bangs George Carlin

• Edith Wharton

• [quote]Can we avoid repeats, please? Why? The OP asked for ten picks each, so of course we will have repeats. No one loves a control freak.
