“Bad Sex in Fiction Award: Haruki Murakami, James Frey and Gerard Woodward among all-male shortlist”

My favorite:

Major Victor Cornwall and Major Arthur St John Trevelyan, “Scoundrels: The Hunt for Hansclapp”

“Empty my tanks,” I’d begged breathlessly, as once more she began drawing me deep inside her pleasure cave. Her vaginal ratchet moved in concertina-like waves, slowly chugging my organ as a boa constrictor swallows its prey. Soon I was locked in, balls deep, ready to be ground down by the enamelled pepper mill within her.

I think the committee was hornswoggled on that one. I find it hard to believe that anyone could write that poorly unless they were intending to. It sure sounds like it was intended as a parody. If it is serious, it should be declared the winner by unanimous affirmation.

Week 13 in the NFL:

The only Sunday surprise was the Bears’ OT loss to the lowly Giants. The Bears will get a chance to redeem themselves next week with a Sunday night home game against the mighty Rams.

The Pats, Rams, Chargers, Texans and Chiefs all won, continuing their march to good seeds in the post-season. In a match of probable playoff-bound teams, the Steelers lost to the Chargers, but held on to first place in their division.

You already know that the Cowboys handled the Saints on Thursday, but the Saints retained the presumptive #2 slot in the NFC. The Cowboys would be division winners and the #4 seed if the season were now over. (Washington can tie them for the division lead with a win on Monday.)
