Is the classic horrible opening line of dialogue which has inspired the Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest. Held annually since 1982, the goal is to have people write the worst possible opening line of a novel. This year's winner:
" For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity's affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss--a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity's mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world's thirstiest gerbil. "
by Molly Ringle of Seattle Washington.
You can read all the runner-ups and winners in different categories at their minimalist website.

Gee... what are they talking about? I can't wait to read the steamy tale of Felicity and Ricardo's tryst. What a mental image! ;>
I love that.
I'm noted for being a bad writer. I always knew that if I just hung on, it would become popular some day.
