Apologies if this has been done before on here.
How about people regularly come up with (amusing?) titles for us to use as a starting point for pieces of writing? It could be made up or an actual title from something else.
I particularly liked the title Mojo mentioned in the 'Books/writers you're embarrassed to love' thread:
Jill Enjoys Her Ponies
Anyone fancy having a go?

Reminds me of a great game I played on another forum - you have to change one letter in a book title to come up witha completely different story. Such as:
Cons and Lovers
Sexy goings on in prison.
I was just being silly with the Jill/Ponies thing, but I did used to love it at school when an old English teacher used to just give us titles and we had a to write a story from it. Pretty similar to the Random Line Generators that used to happen here, though.
Hmm, looking at my bookshelves trying to think of title changes now.
Wuthering Weights
Rumblefist
The Handmaid's Sale
The Curious Incident of The Log in The Night-Time
Shite Teeth
Oh dear, must get back to the novel.....
Actually, the funniest part are the mini-snopses (sp?) pf those books... anyway, i found that thread again, here it is:
