A California man claimed top honors Monday at the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contestquote: She resolved to end the love affair with Ramon tonight ... summarily, like Martha Stewart ripping the sand vein out of a shrimp’s tail ... though the term ’love affair’ now struck her as a ridiculous euphemism ... not unlike ’sand vein,’ which is after all an intestine, not a vein ... and that tarry substance inside certainly isn’t sand ... and that brought her back to Ramon.”
Off topic, but pretty good.Bulwer-Lytton's opening line of "Paul Clifford" was made famous by Snoopy (of Peanuts)quote: "It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness." --Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Paul Clifford (1830)
