^^ I read that and immediately pictured a snippet from Sam Neill at the end of In the Mouth of Madness, delivered almost word for word 

Go to 27 seconds and have a look see:

^^ One thing about the epic saga that's Donathan and Co. is that there have been a few good threads among the more egregious ones.  Case in point - the Random Things thread. Look how long that one's gone on and still ticking strong.

Of course for every good one there are 3 or 4 about Stinky farts or Boss crushes

Hence the birth of the next batch of Donathangs. Speaking of - With a little tweaking, the lyrics to the Brady Bunch theme tell the story quite nicely Here's the story of a crazy lady Who was making up three very lovely girls. All of them had hair of gold, like their mother, With haunting, chilling curls. Here's the story, of a man named Donathan, Who was busy making up three boys of his own, They were four men, with Twix complexions, Yet they were all alone. Till the one day when the lady met this fellow And they knew it was much more than a hunch, That this group must somehow be the same person. That's the way they all became the Donathan Bunch.

DYING HERE....

That song, not to speak of the real story itself, has always been way too long and just too damned depressing...so, here's the musician who actually 'fixed' the song.
