Aug. 1, 2005— A software analyst who wrote of a woman's breasts inspiring visions of carburetors won a contest for the lousiest opening line in a fiction novel.
Microsoft employee Dan McKay won top honors for bad writing on Thursday at the 23rd annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest in the California town of San Jose with the following prose:
"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual."

Hell, I could have had him beat
"As he stared at her big ass bosom, he daydreamed of the dual S&S carburetors in his vintage sled, highly one off yet pleasingly comfortable, perched perky on top of the intake manifold, beggin' for rough treatment, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners ichin' to be inspected and twisted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual."
