2006 Bulwer-Lytton winners.

Thanks to kunstarniki for the pointer. (So this will be a repeat for some of you, but really, can anyone ever have too much Bulwer-Lytton?)

Many gems, as always, but this was the first one that made me laugh out loud:

"It was a day, like any other day, in that Linus got up, faced the sunrise, used his inhaler, applied that special cream between his toes, wrote a quick note and put it in a bottle, and wished he'd been stranded on the island with something other than 40 cases each of inhalers, decorative bottles, and special toe cream."

(Confidential to giandujabird: I direct your attention to the winner in the Western category. Can it be?)

I wonder if anyone has ever run a Bulwer-Lytton-type contest for fanfic.

Why do you not sponsor one? I believe I could come very close to running the board. ;)

Hm! I shall inquire. :)

Indeed, he has confirmed his guilt. ;)

This year's offerings are good'n'funny: there are a couple desert-themed ones which I found hilarious.
