Jenners Game-Bad First Lines


A cool lady has a new game out in which you create first lines of a book that truly...forgive the expression...suck. I had way too much fun coming up with this literary junk and might actually add to this list some time soon, before the 28th. Thanks, Jenners, for the game.

My gosh ... is there a talent for bad writing in the Sneaky household or what? These are pure genius! I can't even think what my favorite is ... they are all so funny. I'm thinking with all the talent for this in the Sneaky household, you and your wife should enter the contest for real! I think I may have laughed hardest at "Rainbow Piercings" but then again the whole clattering of chips was up there too. And "The King Runs On" was pretty darn good .. and...well, you can tell I can't pick a favorite. I can tell you had fun doing this and I'm so glad. Thanks for the laughs! What a great start to my day!
