Happy birthday, Jilli, and yay for sailing smoothly through surgery.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Trying to think of a title for my new book.
What sounds better?
Life Lessons from The Pantyhose Man
or
The Tao of the Cash Register
or
The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You
Or,
Jesus Allyson, you're totally creatively drained, take a freakin' break!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Punishingly Intricate

The lady in the house has a history of mental problems--pause for the lack of surprise--and the people with her are an elderly woman and a three-month-old.
SWAT teams have stormed the house and freed/captured everyone. They were in there for 2 hours.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'd go with "The Kid Behind The Counter Hates You" but my titles always stink.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You
This is my favorite, but "The Tao of" is probably more marketable.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Allyson, for titles on my stuff I nearly always change it numerous times before I finish, so these days I assign them temporary titles (my favorite: "No Commercial Potential") and worry about the title lastest. Usually by then my subconscious has had time to chew over it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I agree with Jessica that Tao is marketable -- but all the other titles make me smile more. Are there other taos you could use?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You
Love this.
