I cheated at the first one and played from 2 to 9. I got 7 out of 9 right, numbers 2 and 7.
Does it mean that the rest of the original titles were worse than the made-up ones?
I didn't get even one right but I laughed all the way through.
I had to look up "Penis Pokey" and the reviewers recommend that you don't buy the book used. I am NOT going to buy it. ;)
And it's best to turn off your "browsing history" at Amazon if you search out these titles. Otherwise, Amazon starts pestering you with all sorts of odd titles. In Genre's you might not appreciate, too.
OMG! Penis Pokey?
*tears of laughter turn to tears of despair as manuscript gathers yet another layer of dust. surrepticiously copies some fake titles and scribbles notes. needs hubby for most of the notes. or maybe a bassett hound. damn.*
:-) These were hysterical!
Don't know why- but I guessed #1. Maybe because I like the name Cookie Sutra.
Thought #2 was b - love that title, even though I'm a cat person.
As soon as I saw #3, I thought of EE. For some reason. (But NOT because the of the real title. More about the guy being right all the time thing.)
Didn't think #4 was what it was. Loved e - skipping the foreplay. Indeed. What woman hasn't heard (or at least experienced someone trying to get away with) this? Yeah. Didn't think so.
5. I wanted it to be Dish It, Bitch! I really did.
6. This one is my absolute FAVORITE. Who knew there was a penis puppet book? That's a scream.
I'm getting this one for my husband for my, I mean his, birthday. No kidding. Penis Pokey. What a great present, in oh so many ways.
7. I shoulda known they'd claim there's actually a thing called Manspace (there isn't, OK, there just isn't) - especially with all the whining about not having any place of one's own that goes on around here, in this home with only one male who has a working member (the cat is neutered. Heh heh.) But my favorite was: Get Tour Hand Off My Tool.
8. Didn't guess it. I thought the gun one was funny.
9. Didn't guess this one either. Too easy. I liked the other titles better.
10. Didn't guess it- though I like the actual title. My favorite title was: Bad Boy! I really love this one. I am, in fact, planning on using this one tonight. (Especially if there's any trouble with area covered in #4.)
Well, I gotta say, EE, these were fun, and you've given me a really good reason to procrastinate. Thanks!
He CL! How's Dubai treatin' ya?
Yeah. The Bassett Hound was mine.
I was in a certain kinda mood when I popped that to EE this morning.
I almost had a perfect score, but I ruined it by getting the last one right.
You think these are bad? Pop over to Smart Bitches, Trashy Books for the discussion on category romance titles!
Hey Robin!
Okay. We're at the house, where I found food leftover from last year. (Yet, DH travels back and forth. Perhaps he's waiting for the magic cleaning fairy. Or he knows I'll eat anything)
Passed by the gym yesterday. It's next to a nice cafe. It's also about 1/10th of a mile to walk. Not sure how many steps that is, which poses a question: Do I walk to the community club or do I drive? (Another question: cafe or gym? hmmm....)
My butt is really big. People aren't as fat here as they are in the States (Bill Highsmith is right).
Even though there are all these supposed filters in Dubai because it's a Muslim country, there are lots of European porn channels to surf. Not that I do. Just saying.
Over to you, Bob.
Ha! Porn in Dubai. Not a picture I was having.
OK- here's the deal. Walk to the gym, go inside the gym, hire a hot little trainer named Sven or Raoul or Whatever, spend the winter working out and have yourself a big old time.
DH can pay for Sven, as he will be paying you back for havng frozen crappola food in the house. When he's bad, deal with him using book #10. When he's good, hand him book #6 and tell him you wanna play a game. Use dog-training rules found in imaginary book #10 c. (This works for DH, I mean.)
Then, we'll go to Manhattan for the weekend when you get back to the States. (We'll leave all kids and both DH's home.)
Then we'll...well, anyway.
