“Destroy a Book Title with One Word” A fun game to play today!

This hilarious pun-related exercise has been around for years but thought we might have fun with it today.

Below are some Christian book titles which either have a word added, a word changed, or a letter added or changed, with bizarre results! The first nine are my own creations and the rest are ones I’ve come across in the past. Please add your own to the list in the comments. Enjoy!

90 Minutes in TSA

God Gave Us Glue

Your Best Burp Now

The Acts of the Apostates

The Pursuit of Odd

Bad Girls of the Bible College

The Kingdom of the Dolts

Redeeming Coupons

Kittens Come Softly

The Great Divorce Lawyer

The Briefcase for Christ

In His Dub Steps

Rich Christians in the Age of Hunger Games

I Kissed Carbon Dating Goodbye

The Purse Driven Life

The Radio Shack

Heaven is for Real Housewives

 

I also had some fun with general market titles (the first seven are my own creation):

Celsius 232.778   (Okay I cheated…I changed two words. But technically the second is not a word.)

Blender’s Game

Iron Deficient Man

The Failure of Two Cities

Harry Potter and the Order of Two Cheeseburgers, Fries, and a Diet Coke

The Mysterious Affair with Style

Pat the Killer Bunny

To Cook a Mockingbird

Lord of the Fries

Horse Sense and Sensibility

For Whom the Taco Bell Tolls

And Then There Were Nuns

Furious George

The Whining

 

 

YOUR TURN!

Perfect Christian Book Titles

By Dan Balowon September 12, 2017

Once in a while, an author and/or publisher come up with the perfect title for a Christian book. Not just something which explains the contents, but the perfect title. No wasted words. It just leaves you speechless. The best title ever (in my humble opinion) was Joel Osteen’s bestseller, Your Best Life Now. It’s perfect. It’s not about someone else, it’s about you. It doesn’t promise a “better …

Voice Mail Transcription Fun

Have you ever had a miscommunication? In other words, do you live in the world? Of course, we all have. I have voice to text messaging and I really like it. Most of the time it gets my messages right, though sometimes I have to display prior knowledge to discern what people mean. The program does insert question marks when it’s confused. But most of the time, it doesn’t think it’s confused at all. …

WHAT Were They Thinking??

You know, one of the things I’ve learned since becoming an agent is that people have an odd sense of what’s appropriate. Happily, quite a lot of what I receive is well prepared and enjoyable to read. But I’d have to say that anywhere from a fourth to even, on a bad week, a third, of what comes in falls squarely in the “I don’t THINK so” camp. So here, just to help you avoid such things, are some …

Easily Entertained

Recently my husband, daughter, and I had dinner with my parents at King’s Barbeque in Petersburg, Virginia. My paternal grandfather discovered this restaurant in the 1950s and it is still one of our family’s favorite places. Since it was near Christmas, they displayed a unique decoration – a pig wearing a Santa hat. Amused, I took pictures with my cell phone. I heard voices. “That’s a first!” I …

Exclamation Points!!! Avoid or Embrace?!

I love using exclamation points! Don’t you? How about interrobang sentences?! Finally, I think we should bring those back, don’t you?! And not just in dialogue, but in narrative! Finally, shouldn’t readers just really ought to be able to keep up with run-on sentences, no matter how complex, or whether or not they stay on topic, and I wonder how many people could diagram a sentence that’s simple, …

Friday October 14th was Winnie the Pooh’s 90th birthday. (I wrote about his birthday a few years ago here.) Below is what greeted me at the dinner table on Friday night. It brought hilarity and sudden clarity. I think I know how I should vote… Winnie-the-Pooh for President Piglet for Vice President Tigger for Secretary of State. Winnie-the-Pooh promises “Honey in every …

The Unintentionally Funny Headline

I came across the following headline in a recent publisher-related newsletter: “Speculative Authors Fight Mental Illness” I thought to myself “I know what they meant by the headline, but could it also be interpreted that authors who write speculative fiction are mentally ill?” There are some who call science fiction and fantasy writers “weird” but this headline …

Why I Wouldn’t Represent Bible People

By Dan Balowon September 6, 2016

Taking a cue from the media ads for various prescription drugs, including a legal disclaimer in any communication protects everyone from legal jeopardy or in this case, condemnation. God inspired the Bible and the thoughts expressed in it are exactly as God intended. No one shall add or take away anything. The following satire is intended for entertainment value only. The opinions expressed are …
