I'm a big fan of the Lyttle Lytton Contest.  It's inspired by the better-known Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, but the object of the Lyttle Lytton is to create astonishingly bad bits of prose in 30 words or less.  The winning entries can reduce me to a helpless giggling mass.

The 2009 winners have been posted.  I can't decide if I prefer:

I have the ability to go through time, he suddenly remembered while at a bus stop near a tree.

Or:

Or:

Actually, that last one is taken from a Dan Brown novel.
