Not had one for donkey's years, methinks. Used to cause a certain amount of amused entertainment for a while. So why not.
Rules:
Entries in alphabetical order, please; one subject given per full alphabet, which starts with A and ends in Z; one adjective plus one noun at any one time; the person who posts the double letter Z entry starts a new theme. Easy.
So let's start with Animals:

Well, we can change the last I to a V, and get someone who was, according to Wikipedia, a character in the Henry VI cycles and Richard III.

Rats! I was hoping I could get away with pulling a fast one!
And Edward V, um, doesn't meet Ed2's rather graphic demise, so my adjectives don't work for him.

Well, uber-pedantically, I think, technically, when you use the word "weird", the protocol is to conjoin it with "sisters". I think that's how Shakespeare himself does it in the cast-of-characters.
But hey, close enough. And I'm glad to see the girls make an appearance on the thread, since they're one of my favorite parts of Shakespeare.

I think Kevin was trying to clarify that "Portia" refers to a motorbike, since some people might think that he meant the Merchand Of Venice character.

I'm so glad you said that, LR - it's just what I was thinking, and when I looked up "lists of muscles" on t'web, there weren't any Js. I even wondered if the jugular vein had a muscle nearby ...
There weren't any Ks either - would it be cheating if I skipped to L?

According to wiki, antimascassar is a type of furniture popular in the Victorian era. And belladonna was a herbal medication. So I guess we can assume it's Victorian anything.

They're the ones that ran these ads with this faux sophisticated European guy trying to make the audience feel like rubes for doing business with greedy banks who were allegedly much less consumer-friendly than ING.
As I recall, the claims made about the supposed benefits of ING seemed rather extravagant. But he made a point of saying at the end that there was no fine print to any of this, ING was just the first bank to decide that they were going to be so generous to their customers.

Yup. Page two; "cars and motorcycles" was the topic you suggested. I think we tried "motorbikes and such" elsewhere in the thread, and it almost killed it. I'll let it slide this time, even if I did ban wheeled transport as a category choice right after we were done; however, I'll also let people going back to the earlier iteration and "using their resources" slide as well.

That's both wonderful and slightly horrifying. Okay, that . . . um, surplice? The scapular-looking thing with the cross on it? That's a bit OTT.
(ETA: I checked the facebook group for Episcopalian Priest Barbie—it's a tabard stole. Whoever made those vestments is detailed—even the colors on the academic hood of the vicar at St. Barbara's-by-the-Sea, Malabu, are correct.)

Did you catch the itty-bitty thurible hanging up in the background? I have also seen a Bishop Barbie but couldn't locate a photo online.

Oh sorry, I forgot. I'm supposed to suggest a new subject. As I haven't been following this thread all the way through, I hope I don't repeat a subject. So...

The toy was exactly what you see in the ad. I guess the Leonard Nimoy voice-over, added by the YouTube artist, is meant as a joke about Slime now being very hard to come by.

I was trying to think of an adjective close to "deep", and that was the best I could do. No aspersions meant for the lovely garnet.
