You've never read this sentence before
Molasses poured down concrete pipes into the crevice of a dying skunk, articulating mass rage over falling consumer confidence, while chocolate cakes harkened back to dancing the limbo half-clothed in the marimba moonlight - but you should have seen the train that ran over my big toe, alas, sweet pain.

1. Yep, you're right; Never read that sentence before.
With any luck and the *x* ignore button, I never will again. ;-)

2. Is this piece from the bad writing contest?
I can't remember who puts it on, but it's a yearly thing and people submit some pretty damn ahrsh stuff.

5. You might want to think about submission....
to the contest I referred to.

The one I speak of....The Bulwer-Lytton Ficiton Contest

I think you have a good shot! :bounce:

6. I always love to read the books they put out with some of
the better submissions.

My favorite all-time worst sentence (alas, it didn't win, but it damn well should have!), was this: "We had just made it through yet another nuclear winter, and our lawn had just trapped and eaten its first robin."

8. no flames here
Plus, you can't argue (like a fucking mongol) that you have ever read this sentence before.

7. Never read that one...
Within the constraints imposed by fictional societal norms dictating organizational form out of chaotic fractals emanating from the germinated residue of tribal collegiality sprung out of the fount of forms alienated within primal ooze.

9. "Crevice of a dying skunk."
How I cherish that phrase. I plan to have it tattoo'd on my left bicep.

12. You've never seen this sentence either.
Girl Scout cookies have the intense pressure of a 4x4 5-ton tomato leash, evacuating the graphing calculator that shrinks my good company with appendages and alerts TV ratings of its enhanced religion that will peel nuclear reactors off the noose, which means my dreams CAN burn my portfolio full of Gatorade symbols and weasel computers.

Whoa, this acid is sweeeeeet...

14. Nope, true, I have never read that sentence before.
But it imprinted itself upon my brain like one of those cheap gumball machine tatoos that are meant to wash off but stick around for weeks like the boy you dated once in high school on a dare who didn't get the message and kept calling you like you call your dog when he's off after the alluring scent of a rabid squirrel...

Have you heard that one? :hi:

15. I think I knew him!
His left butt cheek tattoo said "ZombyCoffee Forever" and the other one said "Born To Eat Jello". Then the rabid squirrel pooped in my salad. Drat.

:hi:

16. Yes! Yes! He was the one who got me hooked on that coffee...
He never could get me to liking Jello though...I'm more of a pudding kind of girl. Rabid squirrel poop is known as a delicacy in some far more sophisticated societies you know.

:loveya:
