Shamelessly nicking the idea from another forum, you have to add "ing" to a film title, then explain what the film is now about. Examples so far that amused me include Harry Pottering - a gentle comedy about an old man and his broom cupboard Ironing Man - documentary about male empowerment La La Landing - a Teletubby takes a parachute jump. However, when introducing this idea in the office today, it took but a moment for someone to subvert the whole thing with the only slightly cheaty Reservoir Dogging, which I'm hoping is about walking canines, but... Any more? Last edited by: Crankcase on Fri 24 Feb 17 at 11:47 Reply to this message | Report message

>> Reservoir Dogging, which I'm hoping is about walking canines, but... >> Reminds me of this article in the Guardian yesterday. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/feb/23/golden-trio-of-moves-boosts-chances-of-female-orgasm-say-researchers Some misread the subject as "trio of movies" instead of "trio of moves", possibly because the illustration used at the top was from a movie. It led to some hilarity in the comments: including one linking it to Monty Python's The Meaning of Life www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/feb/23/golden-trio-of-moves-boosts-chances-of-female-orgasm-say-researchers#comment-93723229 and one linking it to a Guinness advert www.youtube.com/watch?v=km-rN1T_zfI p.s. some even managed to blame Brexit Last edited by: BrianByPass on Fri 24 Feb 17 at 13:22 Reply to this message | Report message
