Deep Thoughts & Bulwer-Lytton entries by Peggle
You probably know I'm a big fan of PopCap games 'Bejeweled' and 'Peggle'. Peggle is currently my favorite, and occasionally offers bits of wisdom to help insure success within the game. This one is my all-time favorite.
It says: "Consider the sound of one hand clapping. Now consider the sound of a tree falling in the forest. Now combine the two, add some cowbell and you've got yourself a hit record!". HA! Now that is funny stuff. Almost as funny as some of the Bulwer-Lytton contest entries I've read, though the Lyttle Lytton contest seems to be a step up in subtlety. Both the Bulwer-Lytton and the Lyttle Lytton are competitions to see who can come up with the worst opening line for a novel. Bulwer-Lytton winners tend to adhere to a strict form, wheras the Lyttle Lyton can be more random.
My favorite from the Lyttle-Lytton 2006 entries:
"I can't!" screamed Jake to whomever was outside the airplane's single lavatory.
Peggle, I applaud you for making games that are fun and hilarious. Let me know if you need any ideas, because I've got a good one.
