One suggestion to the team: There're many double named books and winds already. Is there a chance you can tell which of the mentioned titles and phrases are in the inner circle of possible ingame usage? Because this brainstorming is really huge and now it's boring to read them all since many were used before (in one or another way) and some are not that voodoo-ish or even funny. Maybe this could help all of us to think of better titles and phrases if we know what you like a lot and what you want to have in there.
Don't know if these have been said, but
The wind you run like.
The wind that brings with it change.
The wind that isn't really wind, but merely a convection current, as it is not 6ft above the ground.
Update: I have a final list made up of the best of the winds and books I came up with HERE

I am speaking for myself here, but I can't imagine anyone reading through your huge list there. It is not funny reading through huge lists, in which at most 1 or 2 items are really funny. I'd suggest posting only the beast of your ideas.

your huge list there. It is not funny reading through huge lists, in which at most 1 or 2 items

Okay... I understand your opinion. Brainstorming, for me, means throwing any ideea on the
table, any ideea at all. Stupid ideeas, funny ideeas, serious ideeas as long as they are
related to the subject.
I work with teams, I am a movie director and an actor, I had a rock band, I was involved in
several computer games projects (that sadly never got finished), and currently I am writing a
movie/theatre script. So, I'm "in da business", meaning that I have had plenty of brainstorming
sessions with my friends/team parteners.
It is true that we never made lists, such as the one I just posted, but if we would've written
down every ideea, the result would be very simmilar in "hugeness". Maybe someone will use a
stupid/not-funny ideea of mine and use it better, change it and get a final result with much
more "Monkey Island-ness" in it.
That being said, I have picked the ones I allready posted and consider to be funny. In return,
I'd wish to get a feedback from you and tell me if you like them
Thanks!

I think Wolfy has some pretty good ones, actually.

Those are the booktitles I'd like to prefer. In case of Guybrush and Elaine ever having children, the Birth Control book and the Voodoo in da Hoodoo would be very useful. Especially the last one if you wanna get what your kids are saying.
I already wrote some book titles and descriptions for each. That's what I'm missing in those lists. You know you can write any title, but only the explanation makes it really funny in the end. Some write too obvious book titles where only a good description could make it out... and even then it's not that funny. How many 101 Voodoo books did we already have? 7? 8? And how many had a description? 1... maybe 2?
For the windy thingy: I'm not into that, so I don't even try that.^^

I am speaking for myself here, but I can't imagine anyone reading through your huge list there. It is not funny reading through huge lists, in which at most 1 or 2 items are really funny. I'd suggest posting only the beast of your ideas.
Even though it wasn't posted towards myself, I'll post a short defense of huge posts anyway. As far as myself, and huge lists, I don't generally know WHAT IS or ISN'T the best of my ideas. So I post all of them. I do go back later through my posts and edit out the ones that I find to be enormously silly, but the ones that still make me chuckle or smile I can't help but leave in. (I'm easier or harder to make laugh than most though).
EDIT: Maybe looking through ideas and posting the best out of them isn't a bad idea though.
I didn't mean to attack anyone. I just mean, I skip the huge lists, and just read the short lists. It isn't intentional, it just comes naturally to skip the large ones. Maybe I am the only one, who reads like this.

What? No no. I didn't take it like that. I actually wondered if long lists were a good idea when I started. But for people with a lot of ideas, it just comes naturally to make large lists.

Yep, it comes naturally for me as well. But I figured that he's right and we should filter the Bestest-Best ones just for the sake of it, and just in case the TTG Team doesn't have the time to check them all.
By the way, how DO you manage to come up with so many wind names? :-)) I find them most difficult, and bizzare as a task.

Well, for me books are way harder to think of. So I just decided in the end to stick with winds. It's easy to say The Wind That - Blah Blah Blah. The trick is making it funny. I made huge lists basically to experiment with wind names, but then to go back and get rid of the ones that made no sense, or weren't funny.
But making them for me is an easy task. And a fun one. Right now I'm trying to lower my list to around twenty-five of the funniest ones. But it's hard as I like most of them a lot.
haha and I just create book titles and their descriptions. It's somewhat more fun to think of something voodoo-ish. I write up some titles and then think of nice descriptions. While writing I delete some of the titles again because some were not that pretty. I read the descriptions over and over again. If I can still laugh innerly it's good, if not... red button and *BOOOOM* the library ship is sinking.

I cut out about half of my brainstorms, but who knows? Maybe that's one of the ones that would have made the dev team laugh
Those are the booktitles I'd like to prefer. In case of Guybrush and Elaine ever having children, the Birth Control book and the Voodoo in da Hoodoo would be very useful. Especially the last one if you wanna get what your kids are saying.
I already wrote some book titles and descriptions for each. That's what I'm missing in those lists. You know you can write any title, but only the explanation makes it really funny in the end. Some write too obvious book titles where only a good description could make it out... and even then it's not that funny. How many 101 Voodoo books did we already have? 7? 8? And how many had a description? 1... maybe 2?
For the windy thingy: I'm not into that, so I don't even try that.^^

Even though it wasn't posted towards myself, I'll post a short defense of huge posts anyway. As far as myself, and huge lists, I don't generally know WHAT IS or ISN'T the best of my ideas. So I post all of them. I do go back later through my posts and edit out the ones that I find to be enormously silly, but the ones that still make me chuckle or smile I can't help but leave in. (I'm easier or harder to make laugh than most though).
EDIT: Maybe looking through ideas and posting the best out of them isn't a bad idea though.
What? No no. I didn't take it like that. I actually wondered if long lists were a good idea when I started. But for people with a lot of ideas, it just comes naturally to make large lists.
Yep, it comes naturally for me as well.
By the way, how DO you manage to come up with so many wind names? :-)) I find them most difficult, and bizzare as a task.
Well, for me books are way harder to think of. So I just decided in the end to stick with winds. It's easy to say The Wind That - Blah Blah Blah. The trick is making it funny. I made huge lists basically to experiment with wind names, but then to go back and get rid of the ones that made no sense, or weren't funny.
But making them for me is an easy task. And a fun one. Right now I'm trying to lower my list to around twenty-five of the funniest ones. But it's hard as I like most of them a lot.

haha and I just create book titles and their descriptions. It's somewhat more fun to think of something voodoo-ish. I write up some titles and then think of nice descriptions. While writing I delete some of the titles again because some were not that pretty. I read the descriptions over and over again. If I can still laugh innerly it's good, if not... red button and *BOOOOM* the library ship is sinking.
