owlectomyTwo "funny variations on titles" memes have been going around the kidlit blogosphere:
In the contest of "Take a title, change the first letter of one word to make a new title," we have:
GO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
After Atticus loses the big trial, he wallows in drink and depression, no longer caring what happens to the yahoos in his stupid small town.
BILLY'S PURPLE PLASTIC PURSE
When Billy brings his latest fashion accessory to school, Mr Slinger helps the kindergarten class understand that it's okay for Billy to march to the beat of a different drummer.
And such titles as Medtime For Frances and Fear Mr. Henshaw. (Full list of entries here.
Originally propagated by John Green, author of "Looking For Alaska In Your Pants" and "An Abundance of Katherines In Your Pants," we have the "... In Your Pants" titles (many here), of which the most disturbing is certainly "Pat the Bunny In Your Pants." Looking at books I've read recently, "This Is All In Your Pants" is not a horrible description of the book in question; and "Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich In Your Pants" is a personal favorite.
