my favorite "pirate's dilemma: beauty or booty" although I might just shorten it to "the dilemma" if I use it. I've also come up with one of my own--

"The sixty-four thousand dollar distraction"

--but I'm still not sure if I'll use that either. Although seeing as I thought of it myself, I think its pulling ahead in the running...

Any thoughts?

(ps. Haven't heard of the pirate sandokan, the tiger of malaysia but I'd like to know more & I'll look it up when I get around to it. Always looking for things to inspire me.)

is the tiger from india? then it could be

"the dalai lama dilemma"
haaa.

since the pirate is obvious, shortening is a remedy;
"dilemma; beauty or booty"

and ya wanna have a title thats fun to say.
can you imagine a couple of wealthy art patrons sitting around in the oak panelled ol boys club:

"hey dude. ya gotta swing ovah to my crib and check out my new aquisition.... Dude!"

"yea dude?! Whuzzit called?!"

" Dillemma; beauty or booty"

"wow. righteously wicked bitchin! cant wait. ... dude"

( the dollar amount title almost takes it away from a fantasy realm and brings it to modern times. One thinks instantly of that old game show as well as that modern colloquialism title is taken from )
