Here are five entries. I hope you find them amusing.

 

I looked at the bright shining eager faces unfortunately widely dispersed in a sea of hung over faces and started my lecture loudly, "I would like to start this lecture series with a quote from Shakespeare who said wantingly, 'A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse,' because by the end of this series, Public Speaking 101, we will all be a bit hoarse."

Hear are a few pointers on writing an entry for B-L contest; take an idea and beat it into the ground like a dead straw horse, refrain from using punctuation or alternatively use all available marks, until the idea rolls over onto its back much unlike the aforementioned dead horse which by the way don't roll on their backs when dead.

The snow fell with an amazing speed, well not really speed since snow falls slowly but it accumulated quickly, at least quickly for snow because an inch or two an hour is slow by most any other standard.

To create a B-L contest entry just start with any old idea, then explain it and then explain the exceptions because it is the exceptions that not only prove the rule but also puff up the word count which is not necessarily bad writing but unless you're James Joyce usually considered as such.

Dave looked at the faces of the zen masters who were testing him for the third and final time before failing him and thought about their question of what doesn't improve with practice, then smiled and said, "Me."
