[Vision2020] Apropos of nothing

[Carl Westberg]

The winner of the Bulwer-Lytton contest, wherein one writes only the first 
line of a bad novel:  First prize:  "The sun oozed over the horizon, shoved 
aside darkness, crept along the greensward, and, with sickly fingers, pushed 
through the castle window, revealing the privileged princess, hand at 
throat, crown asunder, gasping in frenzied horror at the sated, sodden 
amphibian lying beside her, disbelieving the magnitude of the frog's 
deception, screaming madly, 'You lied!"    My favorite:  "Stanley looked 
quite bored and somewhat detached, but then penguins often do."   Carl 
Westberg Jr.
