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.
For this year winning entry: David McKenzie: Folks say that if you listen real close at the height of the full moon, when the wind is blowin' off Nantucket Sound from the nor' east and the dogs are howlin' for no earthly reason, you can hear the awful screams of the crew of the "Ellie May," a sturdy whaler Captained by John McTavish; for it was on just such a night when the rum was flowin' and, Davey Jones be damned, big John brought his men on deck for the first of several screaming contests.
Notes: I must be so bored to find this article. No, not really, but its funny enough that I did find something amusing to pass the time. At least you get some dough for a bad story idea!

I was a bit taken a back when this question was on Twitter stream: How To Tell If your son is Gay (pic) with a link! I don't know at first to take this as what? At the end, can someone explain this cheesy answer? I know its a straight....(I am very open-minded and not easily offended!)

I didn't get all good grades when I went to school, but I end up being a nice gal when I grew up! Sounds like a headline you can see from Playboy bunny at first???
Ah, I really feel sorry for the parents! The dear toddler must be unable to tell the difference between a real digger to a toy digger. I must admit it was cute to see a story about a toddler surfing online in the middle of the night and learning so quickly online about online auction? Hmmm, any toddler can answer me if you know how to bid in an auction?
Is that my idea of dining? Not exactly, but for some in parts of Asia, it might be. I do not see that these toilets will come to Europe or North America, even though they are quite cute looking. Our health regulators are????
today: after you got stepped at wal-mart and target or if you are in Canada, online stores such as: Canadian Tire, Ikea, Best Buy, and any other stores you can think of, you would like to know that leftover turkeys are not uncommon. Justine went a round of shopping before, and we will see perhaps after in an iApple store afterwards. We would see her accompanying the turkey to renting movies, ah, Wall-E, Target for a baby outfit, ah, a red santa suit, what happens to turken, we can guess at that one. Did she go to her local Starbucks after that too? When does a turkey start drinking lattes? I thought turkey only drink coffee. (only black please!)
