Slog - Comments on Cheese Problems Solved! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/cheese_problems_solved Another book contest, this one for odd book titles. The contestants: I Was Tortured By the Pygmy Love Queen How to Write a How to Write Book Are Women Human? And Other International Dialogues Cheese Problems Solved If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs People who Mattered in Southend and Beyond: From King Canute to Dr Feelgood I'd rather see a contest in which authors have to write new books from these titles.

It's an historical collection of this sort of thing, like The Resistance of Piles To Penetration, Making It in Leather, by Douglas Cock, The Development of a Procedure for Eliciting Information from Boys about the Nature and Extent of their Stealing, My Duodenal Ulcer and I, Songs of a Chartered Accountant, Cameos of Vegetarian Literature, My Invisible Friend Explains the Bible, etc. etc.

Fox'll cancel it after 3 shows.
