Julie's got the results of this year's Bulwer-Lytton contest, wherein one writes only the first line of a bad novel. The results, as always, make this blogger weep with envy.

There's bound to be some hidden meaning there that just escapes me.

Entry #3.) sounds like the start of a pretty good novel, either a murder/ true crime or a darkly funny fantasy.

The big question is how Santa Claus died.

I don't know if there's some hidden meaning in "crown asunder" - but "asunder" is a great word, and it only seems better next to "crown".
