Add an ....ing to a title [GAME]

Hazel Pethig · Post by **Hazel Pethig** » November 12th, 2016, 10:39 pm

In the vein of "add a goat and ruin a quote" I came across this little gem while I was killing time at work today.
Add the letters "ing" to the ends of movie or book titles to completely change the meanings. For example...

Kindergarten Coping; It is a tumor!

James Bonding; The tale of a man who just wants to make friends.

The Fellowship Of The Ringing; The story of a support group for sufferers of tinnitus.

Ice Aging; The most boring movie ever!

The Thinging; One young girls fight to become a member of her high school choir, despite a fierce lisp.

Goldfingering; He truly is the man with the midas touch!

So, dear readers, let your creative juices flow and let's see what you can come up with.

Is this the sort of thing?

"Cannery Rowing"; Steinbeck's comic take on competitive sculling.

"A Handful of Dusting"; by Evelyn Waugh, domestic goddess.

"Middlemarching"; the tragedy of a misguided brass band formation.

Best,

Barbara
