-----------------------------------------------
Hometown Favorites, The Royal We, are comedy scene darlings. Who knew!?
We are not the first, but we are the latest to join a long line of famous Darlings...
Lets Recap:
First and Foremost we have RON DARLING
Ron Darling, as we all know, was one of the unstoppable Met aces to lead the NY Mets to the World Series in 1986. Although I was only 7 years old, this was the greatest day of my life...I peaked. It's all been downhill since then.
Second we have CLARISSA DARLING
Clarissa Darling, AKA Melissa Joan Hart, was the star of possibly the greatest TV show of all time...Nickelodeon's "CLARISSA EXPLAINS IT ALL." I spent many an afterschool watching Clarissa get into wacky situations which all ended with hilarious results. She also had a younger brother who used a lot of big words...yes, their own Matt Johnson!
In third we have WENDY, MICHAEL and JOHN DARLING
Yes, the kids from Peter Pan! Nothing sums up Childhood wonder and amazement more than the billions of movies, stories and whatnots about Peter Pan. Sure Petey Pan gets all the street cred, but the story is truly about the Darling kids...and rightfully so! Peter Pan the man-boy is overrated...I mean, he wears tights, and has probably been responsible for more kid suicides than any other character in the history of the arts. No, not all boys can fly...I had to learn that the hard way.
Um....Fourth...SARAH DARLING
Who can Forget this, um, classic character from, um, American cinema...Jenny McCarthy as Sarah Darling in the soon-to-be timeless classic SCREAM 3. The third, and probably best of the Scream trilogy. People think that all Jenny McCarthy is is a pair of tits and gaggle of fart noises...but shes more than that. She''s tits, fart noises, and, well, yea, maybe thats it. Anyway, she played Sarah Darling. So yea, Darling.
FIFTH! Yes, MAURICE COSTELLO...aka THE DIMPLED DARLING!
b. 1877 d. 1950. Star of silent films, Maurice Costello, was nicknamed The Dimpled Darling. Did you know he discovered Moe of The 3 Stooges fame? Neither did I till I looked him up on IMDB.com. This just in...he's also the Great-grandfather of actress Drew Barrymore. Pretty cool....pretty darling. I guess he had dimples. And people in the 1920's like their alliteration, like I like my cocaine...aplenty!
Sixth...and apparently last, THE ROYAL WE.
The Comedy Scene Darlings of New York City.
Need i say more...I think our company of Darlings speaks for itself.
Oh WE BLOG, you are Darling!
