The moment we wait for all year! It's the annual Bulwer-Lytton awards!

Awards given for really, really wretched prose. The worse the analogy, the better your chances! I know some of you will want to enter next year's contest.

Winner: Historical Fiction
Sphincter, the gladiator, girded his loins in preparation for today's games, glad to be part of the season opener since he hadn't been sure until yesterday that his contract would be renewed, given his slump during the Germans-versus-lions series but he knew that swatting Germans into the lion's pit was trickier than it looked and he told the officials that they should look at his other stats, not just Huns batted in.


This one brought on a chuckle.

I was bored enough to read them all, this one got a laugh out of me

Wasn't the award originally given for inadvertently bad prose? A lot of those sounded like they were trying to write sucky prose and win an award.

Anyway, this one made me laugh:
Because of her mysterious ways I was fascinated with Dorothy and I wondered if she would ever consider having a relationship with a lion, but I have to admit that most of my attention was directed at her little dog Toto because, after all, he was a source of meat protein and I had had enough of those damn flying monkeys.

As a side note, the ladyfriend and I have tickets to see Wicked in November.
