here's the winner:
"Detective Bart Lasiter was in his office studying the light from his one small window falling on his super burrito when the door swung open to reveal a woman whose body said you've had your last burrito for a while, whose face said angels did exist, and whose eyes said she could make you dig your own grave and lick the shovel clean,"
oy.
> the winner
Pretty impressive!
Say, has any popular 'writer' ever won?
the winners (and losers) are up now...
One of the *losing* lines from the contest, for all you color lovers out there:
Words cannot describe the exquisite loveliness of the brilliant azure sky with its cerulean striations of periwinkle, cornflower, and cyan.
Huh. So do you think this is our slithy toves?
Twas brillig, and the toves were not just slithy, they were stinking drunk.

Our very own Father Steve garnered a dishonorable mention with:
A Lodgepole Pine grew straight and tall in front of his cabin, sort of like a lodgepole, only with branches.
Congratulations to Fr. Steve!
Gee, just think...our own Father Steve is among the best of the worst.
Wow!
Thank you, Brother TEd, for recognizing the dubious distinction. I have asked my chidlren to treat me with greater deference and respect, as a consquence, but have not yet seen the results of that request.
Father Steve! That's wonderful! [applause e]
So tell us how you did it, Fr. Steve, and then we'll all know how the worst was won.
I don't know when I ever sausage a good try before.
