For better or for verse

Reuters won't load so I'm trawling Yahoo! News.

And this is a
hoot(er).


"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual,"

Yes, I'd like to be inspected and adjusted. OH the play on words. The BDSM aspect. It all WORKS, baby!

Right, that's enough of that. Onwards and forwards, people. And go read the article. This competition in bad prose has been around for a while now and every year's winner is as classic as it gets. I remember first coming across an article about this competition. It was initially awareded to someon who inadvertantly wrote bad prose. Now people deliberately write it bad, just so they can compete.


I must confess, I do enjoy the results.

Interesting blog and very creative. You are beautiful too and your use of the word "Bloody," indicates you are a UK EuroAsian. I especially like how you put a sentence together; very provacative and entertaining!

Makes me wish I had one of my Triumph Spitfire back. Nah, they required way too much work to keep running.
