Joining Cornshake, 5 of my suggestions are up for the awesome Jon Pak Approves or Disapproves site.
First one to guess correctly all 5 gets a free copy of my book.
HINT: They were all posted today.
Update: Since so many have been posted today, whoever gets 1 first gets the book.

I've got a few theories.
Since I've already got a signed copy of your book that references "Godzilla," I feel I would be guilty of avarice if I snaked another copy.
I think you're correct. And you do possess the single best inscription I've ever managed to come up with, so let's not get too crazy here.
Thanks for not playing!
I'm not nearly so nice:
Intercourse, Pennslyvania
Erik Estrada
Instead of the book I'll take an email. Someone else can go for the book.
How could I email someone anonymous? I'm clever, but not that clever.
By the way, my response to anonymous does not indicate a correct answer was given.
Sure you are. I'm waiting by an empty inbox here. . .

Good guess, but sorry. Try again!
hmmm...could it be puns in newspaper headlines?
Nope. Try again.
David Shrigley?
Mine were posted on Thursday, yesterday. Look at those.
Erik Estrada, US Soccer Team, Intercourse, Quincy M.E., Hollywood Star Baby names.
OO OO OO!! I hope I'm not too late, I'd love a copy of your book.
Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies
I say this because, uhm, they are the bomb diggity.
*crosses fingers*
Try again. Those cookies are good. But try again.
Damn!
Puns in Newspaper Headlines
is there a limit to how many we can guess? I feel badly guessing more than once.
Nope. Try again. I'm gonna declare you winner on your next guess, regardless. Just to end the pain!
You know, I'm not ashamed to win out of pity. Would it be totally un-pc of me to guess "bike helmets".
You are incorrect but determined and I will gladly reward that! You win the book. Email me your address and I'll send it right out.
Mine were:
Intercourse, PA
nougat
parachute pants
me
Erik Estrada
awesome! It's good know some people still appreciate determination.
BTW, that's a cool blog - I'm glad to have found out about it.
I will email you my addy. =)
