Okay, a friend of my sister was having a really fun contest on her blog, so I've stolen the idea outright and now we're all playing at the store. The trick is to change only one letter in an existing title and change the whole meaning. My favorite that I read had been "Go Kill a Mockingbird" and my sister came up with the delicious "Jeezus and Ramona." Here are Davi's entries, you really ought to sit down to read these!
