For those who like that sort of thing, a vote is being held on Bizarro Central (a website on the off-kilter section of the literary world) for your favourite bizarro story of the year. I’ve no idea what the outcome is, perhaps winged elephants will carry the winner through the town on a purple cushion.
Here’s the info:
