This is fantastic.

QuoteWith listeners leaning over the velvet restraining ropes and angling for pictures, John Glenn urged them to remember Shepard's 1961 Redstone flight in its political context, when the Soviet Union was seducing world opinion with the lingerie of Earth-orbiting technology.

QuoteShe walked into my office on legs as long as one of those long-legged birds that you see in Florida – the pink ones, not the white ones – except that she was standing on both of them, not just one of them, like those birds, the pink ones, and she wasn't wearing pink, but I knew right away that she was trouble, which those birds usually aren't.

QuoteA quest is not to be undertaken lightly--or at all!--pondered Hlothgar, Thrag of the Western Boglands, son of Glothar, nephew of Garthol, known far and wide as Skull Dunker, as he wielded his chesty stallion Hralgoth through the ever-darkening Thlargwood, beyond which, if he survived its horrors and if Hroglath the royal spittle reader spoke true, his destiny awaited--all this though his years numbered but fourteen.

QuoteOliver Smith, spy on Her Majesty's service - not that she knew about it, because that tended to spoil the whole secrecy thing and really, who'd want an un-secret spy, anyway? Not to mention that any spy worth his salt would kill anybody who knew his identity . . . so I wouldn't go around mentioning that I read this if I were you - looked both ways before crossing the street.

This actually looks like it could be a lot of fun.

These are pretty good.  Most of this is in proper english and all, so it just seems like a comedy article.

ETA: nvm, I was reading some of the longer fiction and not the one-sentence contest

"It was a dark and stormy night", whenever I would have to keep the party logs during our roleplaying sessions I would begin like this, regardless of whether it was dark, stormy, or even night.

i can continue on this theme:
''It was a dark and stormy, well not really stormy, more just a bit cloudy, with a bit of wind, it was dark though, night.''
