Enough with the "first!" comments already. Nobody cares.

Although it would have been funny if the first comment here had been in full Bulwer-Lytton bad-fiction style. "booh yah!!": what a missed opportunity.

James Kew, the poster who posted a post before I posted my post, made an excellent point in his post, and I agree that kip missed a great opportunity when he posted the first post, which wasn't a funny post, which is sad for the reason James Kew stated when he posted his post.

Actually, some of them make good opening lines for satirical novels.

That's true.

Many of them are Douglas Adams-esque.

The fiction contest results list was long, but full of gems, like a long train leaving a diamond mine, full of rocks and dirt on its way to the processing facility that looks for the diamonds.

Some of those tortured metaphors reminded me of this site I came across:

this reminds me of snoopy from the peanuts who was always trying to become an author.

tool, it should. Snoopy was doing a Bulwer-Lytton.

What's broken about that? The picture on that page is actually part of an advertisement.
