Hi, I look forward to reading the winners of the Bulwer-Lytton contest or the Darwin awards. I don't know if I'll groan at the writing samples or laugh or scream. Does it take talent to deliberately write badly, or are the contestants ever-so-slightly nuts? Some people can write badly without trying hard. Remember those albums by Jonathan and Darlene Edwards? They were really Jo Stafford and her husband. She sang beautifully when her name was on the albums and her husband was an arranger and I bet he was no slouch at the piano. What a wild sense of humor it takes to deliberately do something badly that you're good at.

In the meantime, Thank You to Jamie in Michigan and Doug, I believe it was, for My Most Embarrassing Moment. I save this book for the times when I need a quick laugh, and some of them are really funny! What a wonderful addition to the collection!
