Fun times

She found herself gazing into the depths of his grey eyes, which reminded her of a cloudy day, or no, wait, they were more like the steel grey of ball bearings before grease got to them and gummed them all up, or maybe – yeah – grey like lint collected on a dryer filter, a delicate blend of ash grey and slate grey and stovepipe grey and dove grey, with just a suggestion of white flecks from the tissue you'd accidentally left in your pocket, but without too much blue, because you are no idiot and didn't cram your denims in although you were sorely tempted to because it would have saved having to do what would probably turn out to be only half a load even if you stuck in that old Michigan sweatshirt you only wore once and was probably not even really dirty.

I forgot to mention the "Worst First Lines" challenge that Sansa invented a couple of weeks ago. The one above was mine.

Go read the rest.

You rock, because that is truly, mind-boggling horrible!

Thank you! I aimed for new lows there.

*giggles*

Given that I just cleaned the lint filter, this is especially meaningful. Oh, and that goodness the red towels hadn't just gone in. :D

Ooh, I could go off on accidental red in the lint and relating that to bloodshot eyes from late-night shots-and-a-beer.

Oh, noes!

[jehnt.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is hilarious! :D

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Hee! I loved this the first time I read it, and again now. I love the dryer lint. *g*

I've reworked it some over the years. I really want to submit it to the Bulwer-Lytton contest.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Do eeeeeeeeeeeeeet! ;D

[teldave.livejournal.com]

I hope you won! Hehehe.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

We were all losers winners!

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Bulwer-Lytton's got nuthin' on you.

[geoviki.livejournal.com]

I really need to perfect this and submit it. It's on my to-do list.

LOL, that's one of my favorite fics ever. EVER. And that link... crackfic extravaganza! I have this image of a vampire licking the road behind an ambulance now.

I've reworked the line a bit, made it more generic. I could probably make it run another 50 words if I let myself.

Maybe I'm just best at writing really bad lines.

Er, from what I can tell that particular fic is regarded as universally funny, not bad. Although you represented the very worst of the cliches, I have to say!
