    No more ideas, but I think the best one on there so far has to be Katos submission of "The Long Way Home".

  2. "The Long Way Home" is fine, but drop the definite article to make it punchier.

  3. If it weren't for the obvious legal reasons not to, I'd vote for Paulius's suggestions. Although the librarian in me is pretty amused by The Phantom Tollbooth.... of Death!
    Wait - are we voting or just entering?
