Thanks for participating, @Rebo, but you’ve broken 3 of the 10 rules as stated in the OP: > [@](#): > > - Please do not post title suggestions or comments on alternative titles. This takes a little of the fun out of the process. > > - Submissions are limited to 5 per person. > > - Exclude titles that begin with punctuation, such as an apostrophe, parenthesis, etc. For now I’ve included the first eligible 5 that you’ve suggested. Please make a new post if you want to narrow your choices to a different 5. (after you’ve read the OP, of course) mmm ---
