The challenge: write a few Darn Good Paragraphs[SUP]TM[/SUP] (lazy alternative: copy-paste a few Darn Good Paragraphs[SUP]TM[/SUP] from a public-domain work). The next poster will rewrite them, turning them into Gosh-Awful Paragraphs[SUP]TM[/SUP] (by randomly reorganizing, distorting the original meaning, inserting bad grammar, purpling the prose, or whatever else comes to mind), and will provide the next Darn Good Paragraphs[SUP]TM[/SUP].
Rather extreme example:
DG:
In the beginning God created heaven, and earth. And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.
And God said: Be light made. And light was made. And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness. And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.
GA:
Once upon a time there was a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Created heven and earth. Flying Spaghetti Monster flew underwater like a penguin. Earth voided itself and was deep and dark.
Be lite made! Lite is made! Lite was good! Lite and darkness borke up. And verily, lite was yclept Daie, and darkness Nite. Sunrise, Sunset; Fade to black.

The girl came hurtling out the door like she'd been kicked, but one look at her face and I knew she hadn't. She was grinning like a monkey.
She had three handbags. Only one of them suited her: a bright green number just big enough to hold a lipstick and a handful of dirty thoughts. That was the one she shoved at me.
By the time the other two women came out, the girl was long gone. I knew where to find her. But I wasn't telling.
