Posted on August 16, 2008 by Gandalfe

This stuff just tickles me.  :o)

“Theirs was a New York love, a checkered taxi ride burning rubber, and like the city their passion was open 24/7, steam rising from their bodies like slick streets exhaling warm, moist, white breath through manhole covers stamped ‘Forged by DeLaney Bros., Piscataway, N.J.’”

Enjoy.

    Oh I love things like this!  It takes a clever turn of mind to sucessfully do so.  I’m glad you found it and put it here for the rest of us.

    Even before clicking on the MSNBC link, I KNEW it was the "It was a dark and stormy night" contest. I just didn’t remember the unfortunate author’s name. I think this guy mixed in a little Dashiell Hammett.
