A new game

[usernamenumber]

preraphaelite and I were on the T (returning from the fantastic Arabian Nights at the Central Square Theater, about which I'll hopefully post more soon) when she mentioned a murder mystery novel she'd once seen. It was set at Harvard and called "A Darker Shade of Crimson".

This got us thinking about cheesy titles for college-themed thrillers. It is a game we wish to share with friends.

Favorites so far:

• Go Directly to Yale


• Drug Lords of Columbia


• Death Cornell (that one usually takes a sec to sink in...)


• ...or For Whom Cornell Tolls (can't quite decide which we like better)


• A Banana Slug... to the Head


• Massachusetts Institute of TERROR (almost too easy, but just over the line if you imagine the last word dripping blood on the cover)


• Dartmouth... of Hell


• Cambridge (Over Troubled Waters)


• A Price You Can't Oxford (I rather preferred "river" to "price", but preraph got this one first)


...your turn.

I'm actually reading a book entitled Maze in Blue about life (and death) at the University of Michigan. The book is set about four years before I was there, although many of the places are quite familiar. I still bleed maize and blue...
