Once again, I forgot that it was my favorite time of year; which is the way I like it.

The winners of the Bulwer-Lytton and Lyttle-Lytton contests were announced again last month. This really is something I look forward to all year long.

Explanation from Wikipedia:

"The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (BLFC) is a tongue-in-cheek contest that takes place annually and is sponsored by the English Department of San José State University in San Jose, California. Entrants are invited "to compose the opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels" — that is, deliberately bad. A prize of US$250 is awarded."


If you haven't seen these but like a good, obscure, and funny read, check them out.

Call me crazy/disturbed but I like these so much that I'm not going to read them now. I'll actually print them off and wait until tonight when I can find a nice solitary spot to have a cup of coffee and a cigarette to read them.

It looks like it's going to be the perfect "dark and stormy night" here too.
