"In a blue ruffled shirt and a pink boutonniere,I took a deep breath before I asked her to dance..." sorry. I KNOW it's beyond cheesy to quote one of my own opening lines, but it's the BEST opening line I've ever written, according to three of the screeners (who ALL ultimately RETURNED the submission)...

I think this opening line is quite memorable:-"I can see Claire Lee now Lorraine has gone"

Quote:I think this opening line is quite memorable:-"I can see Claire Lee now Lorraine has gone" Ah yes, what a great line. And that reminds me of this great one:"I'm a pool hall ace" from Every Breath You TakeCisco

Quote:I think this opening line is quite memorable:-"I can see Claire Lee now Lorraine has gone" And who doesn't get all misty-eyed when singing the first line to the Star Spangled Banner..."José can you see?"

Quote:And who doesn't get all misty-eyed when singing the first line to the Star Spangled Banner..."José can you see?" I hear that Spanish wizard George W sings that song a lot, especially when flying on Air Force Juan...

May be we need a "Misheard Lyrics" thread... I still remember Creedence Clearwater Revival singing, "There's a bathroom on the right" and Hendrix singing, "Excuse me while I kiss this guy"... Anyway, back to opening lines I guess (regular or misheard)... Casey
