Thanks for that, padre. I've seen it before and hurt myself laughing at it, but I lost the link. Excimo!

'Theeeey're here!' whispered Billy Joe under his foul breath through yellowed teeth as brilliant white light permeated all of the windows of his trailer, and he flashed back to fragmented recollections of the previous four abductions--the questions, the pain, the probe--which he was powerless to stop but this time was better prepared for, having just finished a seventh bean burrito, a case of Bud, and four packs of Pop Rocks.

That was a great link Father Steve. Merci.

As to copywriting...

I have to admit if I picked up a book called To Kill a Mockingbird and it wasn't about Atticus, Scout or Boo Radly I'd be pretty miffed (unless it was book on the hunt for wild birds)

It just doesn't seem fair.

The science fiction fine-sorter for the Friends of the Library Books Sale every year has to reject several copies of The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I've often wondered what would happen if Harlan Ellison ever wrote a book with the same name.
