Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest (A contest for bad fiction.)
The winner:
Cheryl’s mind turned like the vanes of a wind-powered turbine, chopping her sparrow-like thoughts into bloody pieces that fell onto a growing pile of forgotten memories.
Also, "At 26 words, Prof. Fondrie’s submission is the shortest grand prize winner in Contest history, proving that bad writing need not be prolix, or even very wordy."
Runner up:
As I stood among the ransacked ruin that had been my home, surveying the aftermath of the senseless horrors and atrocities that had been perpetrated on my family and everything I hold dear, I swore to myself that no matter where I had to go, no matter what I had to do or endure, I would find the man who did this . . . and when I did, when I did, oh, there would be words.
Many more awards and runners up for different categories.

Romance winner:
As the dark and mysterious stranger approached, Angela bit her lip anxiously, hoping with every nerve, cell, and fiber of her being that this would be the one man who would understand—who would take her away from all this—and who would not just squeeze her boob and make a loud honking noise, as all the others had.

This reminds me of Douglas Adams:
The grisly scene before him was like nothing Detective Smith had ever seen before, but there were millions and millions of things he had never seen before, and he couldn't help but wonder which of them it was.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
How they don't have LA's 405 is beyond me.
Well they have the 101. Really, not sure which is the most truly hellish of LA's freeways. I tend to hate both the 5 and the 405 with equal hate, although the 405 is far more useful to me.

One day someone called trying to make a reservation for a party, name of Donner.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The 405 is not that bad in a world with the 101.
