New York Competition No. 50: Add an L

Welcome back to the New York Magazine Competition. On alternate Mondays, we lay out a challenge and offer a sample responses. Enter in the comments section, or on Twitter with the hashtag we’ve provided, and the editors will select a winner. Criteria are highly subjective, but heavily retweeted and favorited posts will have an advantage. The prize is a year’s subscription to New York in print or a two-year subscription to the iPad edition (winner’s choice). Full rules are here.

COMPETITION NO. 50: “ADD AN L.” Please offer a familiar title altered by the addition of a single letter L. For example:

YOU AND MEL AND A DOG NAMED BOO

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM XL

THE OX-BLOW INCIDENT

Enter on Twitter with the hashtag #addanL, or in the comments thread below, by June 24.
