... and the winner is:

"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."'

notable mentions to:

"'Toads of glory, slugs of joy,' sang Groin the dwarf as he trotted jovially down the path before a great dragon ate him because the author knew that this story was a train wreck after he typed the first few words."

"Like a mechanic who forgets to wipe his hands on a shop rag and then goes home, hugs his wife, and gets a grease stain on her favorite sweater -- love touches you, and marks you forever."

Pretty tame stuff. C'mon people, make your submissions
for next year! I've seen MUCH worse stuff here

[Tibor]

I'd say anything from Oldncold.... He's probably the worst on avcanada when it comes to spelling, punctuation and run-on sentences. Oh and most of what he posts makes no sense.

[Hedley]

Apart from that, how do you like his writing?

I'll have to submit some of the first (or even final) drafts of my stories. heheh

And yes, I know. I haven't done much lately on that front despite some requests.

The best I can say is some time in September I should be able to get off my lazy butt and spin a tale. Summer has been busy for me with many tiring weekend road trips.

"It was a dark and stormy night..."

"There I was, nothing on the clock but the maker's name..."

"The night was dark, the sky was blue, along the road the sh*twagon flew;
a bump was felt, a scream was heard and a stranger was killed by a flying turd."
