The Page of Lists

Just some observations - in list form - which I've collected.

People whose first names are generally of the other sex:

First names which aren't particularly associated with one gender more than another:

Of course, on that note there's Julia Sweeney's SNL character Pat. (Pat being short for ...?)

Mattress companies whose names start with the "s" sound:

Is there some reason for these examples, like maybe a form of subliminal advertising?

Auto repair companies whose names have the "my" sound in them:

Sitcoms on which actors play characters with their own names:

Have you ever noticed that on quite a few of the sitcoms in which Tony Danza has starred he plays a character with the first name Tony? For the record, here they are:

Does he have some kind of actor's block which inhibits him from getting into a character if it doesn't share his name? Or are writers at a loss for names?

Names of people, places, or things which are double:

People of Long Island:

Non-standard "re" verbs:

"Cities" in New York City:

That's not to mention such other "municipalities" as Stuyvesant Town, Peter Cooper Village, and Rochdale Village.

Unnecessarily-long promotional telephone numbers:

Celebrities whom I have seen:

Questionable:

Familiar protest rallying chants:

Hey hey
Ho ho
Something something's got to go
What do we want?
Something.
When do we want it?
Now.
The people
United
Will never be defeated
Two four six eight
Something something rhymes with "eight"
No justice
No peace

Regarding the third one, I'm not sure whether it's "The people" or just "People." The way I specified it has a better cadence, in my opinion.

Songs whose titles aren't included in their lyrics:

"B" communities in Brooklyn:
