Default The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest

I have no idea how I have never heard of this before, but after reading through a few of this years top entries I thought it was worth sharing, in case anybody else was no familiar. Well worth flipping through

Essentially it's a contest for the best/funniest first sentence to a terrilbe fake fiction novel. Here is this years winner:

"Seeing how the victim's body, or what remained of it, was wedged between the grill of the Peterbilt 389 and the bumper of the 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT, officer "Dirk" Dirksen wondered why reporters always used the phrase "sandwiched" to describe such a scene since there was nothing appetizing about it, but still, he thought, they might have a point because some of this would probably end up on the front of his shirt. —
Joel Phillips, West Trenton, NJ"

The rest are worth reading as well
