As I've mentioned before, the Lyttle Lytton contest has the ability to reduce me to a helpless, giggling mass for several minutes on end.

The 2010 winners are out.  My day has already gotten off to a good start.  Here are some of my favorites (though without Adam's wonderful commentary):

“You are the greatest human in the world,” the dragon told the boy who desperately wanted to be a dragon, too.

“Hearken,” he spake, drawing thither, “and alight thine eyes on yon comely maiden betwixt such knaves as they.”

“Great Caesar’s Ghost!” Amy sputtered. “What glorious lovemaking!”

And they look like a good way for me to end mine, thanks.

"Tuesday. Africa. Lion o’clock. "

I must say, I think the right writer could make a hell of a story from that

Is that from one of Robert Jordan's books?

This one is brilliant... the comment really makes it.

Once upon a time, there was a talking lamp whose lightbulb fell out and hit a person and the person got shocked and destroyed everything.   Megan Groppe

This is such an uncanny recreation of the way five-year-olds tell stories that I assume that the Axe Cop audience would buy up the entire first printing.

My favorite is this one, and the comment makes it better.  It's from 2008.

Under Bob’s fez was another.

I like that one because it feels like it's missing a word, but then it takes a moment to figure out what it would be, and then once you've figured it out you realize that adding it would make the sentence even worse. I don't know why that kind of conundrum amuses me, but it does.

I actually hear Simon Pegg saying this in his action voice from Hot Fuzz:)  'LION'O'CLOCK.'

My favourite finalist in the Noir genre (many years ago) has something along the lines of "... as his eyes slid slowly down the front of her dress."

Eeuw.

[gateaux]

ahahahaha that made my night!

Gotta agree that the "lion o'clock" line was bloody awesome.
