Subject: Anime/Bulwer-Lytton - fun fun fun

In another one of my continued attempts to desperately
start another topic thread, I thought of this:

About two years ago, the Blake's 7 ML had a contest to
find the *worst* opening paragraph to a Blake's 7 fanfic,
in the style of the Bulwer-Lytton contest.  It was 
incredibly successful.  (If anyone wants the best 50,
I can send 'em.)

Since I've seen a lot of veering off-topic lately (some
of it mine, admittedly), why not try this here?

Come up with your ideas for the *worst* opening paragraph
to a potentially awful Anime Fanfic.  If it's a lemon, 
label it as such, otherwise, no holds barred.

*DON'T* use paragraphs from other's existing stories.
This is meant to test *your* creativity.

I guess it's not really a contest.  I'm certainly not
going to judge.  I'm only familiar with 4 anime series,
so if someone posts a bad Robotech or 3X3 fic, I'd be
completely lost.

Feel free not to respond, and remember, this is in fun.
