For the last 23 years, San Jose State University in California holds a contest by the title name, paying homage to Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton, who wrote the immortal "It was a dark and stormy night," opening sentence.

In keeping with the topic, I encourage everyone to post their own bad opening sentences here, and I will do the same directly.

"This is the last time," thought Alice, "that I fall for that old frat-boy routine of 'Show us your shimmering stomach shimmy, Alice, and we'll put in a good word for you over at Tri Delts.'"
