It was a dark and stormy night...

This year's Bulwer-Lytton contest winners have been announced.

The top honors went to Garrison Spik (pronounced "Speak"):


Theirs was a New York love, a checkered taxi ride burning rubber, and like the city their passion was open 24/7, steam rising from their bodies like slick streets exhaling warm, moist, white breath through manhole covers stamped "Forged by DeLaney Bros., Piscataway, N.J."


Michael L. VanBlaricum of Santa Barbara, CA got runner-up in the "Vile Puns" category:


The Jones family held their annual family reunion on Easter going through over six dozen spiral-cut, hickory-smoked hams and several bottles of a fine Australian shiraz, before Farmer Jones, the head of the family, took the leavings back to Manor Farm to slop Napoleon and his other champion hogs but the seventy-six ham bones fed the pig's tirade.


Check 'em all out.
