My favorites

Winner: Detective

She 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.

Winner: Fantasy Fiction

A 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.

She had whispered wantonly, “Come to bed, Yul,” but was now staring in utter disgust because the green lava lamp was too revealingly bright as he fumbled to adjust his new Merken, a $300 pubic toupee that had looked like a steal on eBay, but now looked just like a wet Tribble that had inexplicably crawled up his crack from an old “Star Trek” episode.

The Marshmallow Test - Kids are left in a room alone with a marshmallow, saying that if they wait long enough, they’ll get ANOTHER when the surveillor comes back.  Hilarity ensues.

There’s apparently nothing like watching a kid squirm over a marshmallow.  My favorite is the red-headed girl, who just eats the marshmallow as the proctor is walking out the door.  After she’s done, she takes her plate, gets up, and walks to the door.

This is a perfect microcosm of the human condition.  You can have a little satisfaction now.  Or you can discipline yourself for a greater reward.  Sadly, most people just eat the marshmallow.
