Fill up the tub, we have a winner!

Congratulations to Concrete Tomato for winning yet another Erasable Pen Reader Challenge. This is CT's second victory in our ongoing series. The subject of the challenge, you may recall, was to come up with an alternate title for the new movie Hot Tub Time Machine.

Here's Concrete Tomato's winning entry:

H.G. Wells' The Hot Tub Time Machine

Hey, it was a difficult challenge people. Personally I find it mildly amusing, which is reason enough to award Concrete Tomato the big prize: a 6-pack of Diet Rite.

Now let's take a look at our runners up:

• In second place we have Natalie Bohm with the bland, yet oddly compelling Turn on the Jets.

• Coming in third is Antelope Baby Industries with the equally dry The Hot Tub Effect.

• Honorable mention goes to Woz for The Brotherhood of the Time Traveling Germ Incubator.

Thanks for playing folks! Keep your chin up. You're all winners in my book, and surely it can only get better from here.

Reader Challenge: Create an alternate title for Hot Tub Time Machine

Like many Americans, I spent part of my Christmas day at the movies. We decided to see Sherlock Holmes. Pretty decent flick, but what really stuck with me after I left the theater was the preview they showed for the upcoming film Hot Tub Time Machine. Yes, that's the actual title of the movie. Amazing! It sounds so outlandish, but it makes perfect sense. The movie is about a group of dudes who use a hot tub to travel back in time. What other name could you possibly give this thing other than Hot Tub Time Machine? I don't know. I don't even know if I love it or hate it. But that, my friends, is your new assignment. Here's the trailer:



Hey isn't that John Cusack? Well, this is clearly our most difficult Reader Challenge to date. I'll throw a few ideas out here just to get the juices flowing.

Hot Tub Time Machine alternate titles:

1. Jacuzzi Leap
2. Rub-a-Dub-DOH!
3. Drawing a Bath to the Future
   

Now it's your turn. Please post your ideas in the comments section. Whoever provides the winning entry will receive a six-pack of Diet Rite.
