by Mike Durrett
for About.com

The erudite humor organization brings new twists (and big words) to their -- if I might be slangy like the young people -- swell collection of comedy lists. Recent topics include the following (amidst occasional adult content):
  • Alternate Titles for O.J. Simpson's New Book ("Tuesdays With Stabby")
  • Rejected Names for Nerds Candy ("Hicks")
  • Titles Still Available for Taut, Fast-Paced Legal Thrillers ("Approach the Bench")
  • Taboos Never Mentioned at Meetings of the Jane Austen Society ("Leaving the Jane Austen Society")
  • Daydreams I've Had About a Giant Hand and One About a Man With an Elongated Arm ("I'm lying flat on my back while an opened giant hand slowly irons the air out of me.")
  • Acceptable Written Forms for the Bullwhip Sound Effect ("Whooot-tssh!")
  • Potential Nicknames for the Star Player on My Son's Soccer Team ("Mr. What Kind of 5-Year-Old Has Facial Hair?")
