Style Invitational Week 1199: Go for the bad choices Plus ‘Citizen Kañe’ and other movie titles altered without changing any letters Woud you rather have the ghost watch you and your sweetie in bed, or telling you jokes while you're on the toilet? Hmm. (Bob Staake/for The Washington Post) By Pat Myers Entertainment October 27 (Click here to skip down <#report> to the winning altered movie titles) /Your home is haunted. Would you rather have a ghost that silently watches you have sex or a ghost that whispers creepy riddles at you while you’re going to the bathroom?/ /Would you rather have a five-second make-out session with someone who hasn’t brushed his or her teeth in a year or eat a live spider?/ /Either your best friend gets laid off with two weeks’ pay or you lose the ability to copy and paste on electronic devices for the rest of your life. Which do you pick?/ The inspiration for this week's contest: The winner gets this book along with the Inkin' Memorial. /Would you agree to go up 1 to 2 points on the attractiveness scale if it meant that your breath would smell like buttered popcorn the rest of your life?/ The fortunately preposterous dilemmas cited above are among the “Questions for Terrible People” in a new book by that name by Boston comedian Wes Hazard. Hazard offers “250 questions you’ll be ashamed to answer” — one to a page in headline-size type — by which you can determine just how scummy a person you are. ** *This week: Offer one or more funny Questions for Terrible People in this vein; *they don’t necessarily have to be a choice between two undesirable alternatives, but the questions should be entertaining in themselves; we’re not looking for answers here (at least not this week). See more questions from the book in this week’s Style Conversational column atbit.ly/conv1199 (published late Thursday afternoon). *Submit entries at this website: bit.ly/enter-invite-1199 * (all lowercase). Winner gets the Inkin’ Memorial , the Lincoln statue bobblehead that is the official Style Invitational trophy, plus the “Questions for Terrible People” book. Second place gets anelectronic toilet paper roller that emits a recording of Donald Trump when you pull on it. Donated by Dave Prevar, who also gave us the Donald and Hillary pens we offered recently; of course, by then you’d be listening to either the president-elect or a total loser. *Other runners-up* win their choice of a yearned-for Loser Mug, the older-model “This Is Your Brain on Mugs” mug or our Grossery Bag, “I Got a B in Punmanship.” Honorable mentions get one of our lusted-after Loser magnets, “Magnet Dum Laude” or “Falling Jest Short.” First Offenders receive a smelly tree-shaped air “freshener” (FirStink for their first ink). Deadline is Monday night, Nov. 7 (since there won’t be anything else on your mind that day); results published Nov. 27 (online Nov. 23). You may submit up to 25 entries per contest. See general contest rules and guidelines at wapo.st/InvRules . The headline for this week’s results is by Chris Doyle; Chris also wrote the honorable-mentions subhead.
