Some essays are brilliantly titled. My favorite is:
A Dancer/Journalist's Anti-Mormon Diatribe
A close second would be: Shades of Darkness
or
How Martha Wrote an Anti-Mormon Book (Using Her Father's Handbook as Her Guide?)

I liked Blair Hodges/LifeOnaPlate's "Stillborn" title for his review of Shawn McCraney's "Born Again Mormon". So mean and funny! I love it!

"Playing With Half a Decker" by Louis C. Midgley.
For a Mormon-related article, my favorite title of all time was Francis J. Beckwith, "Sects in the City: Mormonism and the Philosophical Perils of Being a Missionary Faith"
I ran into Frank on one of the blogs I comment on. He said that he originally wanted to call it "Sects in the City: Mormonism and the Philosophical Perils of Being in the Missionary Position," but he didn't have the heart to send something so risqué off to the SBJT editors.

The two I like best are:
Editor's Introduction: Questions to Legal Answers
Chattanooga Cheapshot, or The Gall of Bitterness.
And particularly the T.S. Eliot quote in the latter:
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
That seemed to me the finest in benign mockery (without getting personal). I've quote from both articles at length through the years, and in a positive and negative light.
