Just posted this on the Book Recommendation thread over on the, Ask The Author forum making this a re-post,. So sue me, then get yourself a copy of:

INHERENT VICE by Thomas Pynchon:

Take as plot the trials and tribulations of a cynical private investigator on the mean streets of a big city, but instead of Phillip Marlow or Sam Spade, make him a dope-smoking, acid dropping hippie, more or less working in LA in 1970, then toss in some sinister, powerful, quirky and/or sexy minor characters along with Pynchon's unique sense of humor and you've got a bestseller. Recommended.

I'm sure he'd be more than willing to search for any missing redhead. Just remember, he's in LA in 1970. Just slide the first available head-shop and ask for "Doc" Sportello. your f

Here's an excerpt:

She came along the alley and up the back steps the way she always used to. Doc hadn’t seen her for over a year. Nobody had. Back then it was always sandals, bottom half of a flower-print bikini, faded Country Joe and the Fish T-shirt. Tonight she was all in flatland gear, hair a lot shorter than he remembered, looking just like she swore she’d never look.

“That you, Shasta? The packaging fooled me there for a minute.”

“Need your help, Doc.”

They stood in the streetlight through the kitchen window there’d never been much point putting curtains over and listened to the thumping of the surf from down the hill. Some nights, when the wind was right, you could hear the surf all over town.

Nobody was saying much. What was this? “So! You know I have an office now? Just like a day job and everything?”

“I looked in the phone book, almost went over there. But then I thought, better for everybody if this looks like a secret rendezvous.”

OK, nothing romantic tonight. Bummer. But it might be a paying gig. “Somebody’s keeping a close eye?”

“Just spent an hour on surface streets trying to make it look good.”

“How about a beer?” He went to the fridge, pulled two cans out of the case he kept inside, handed one to Shasta.

“There’s this guy,” she was saying.

There would be. No point getting emotional. And if he had a nickel for every time he’d heard a client start off this way, he would be over in Hawaii now, loaded day and night, digging the waves at Waimea, or better yet hiring somebody to dig them for him. . . .“Gentleman of the straight-world persuasion,” he beamed.

“OK, Doc. He’s married.”

“Some . . . money situation.”

She shook back hair that wasn’t there and raised her eyebrows so what.

Groovy with Doc. “And the wife—she knows about you?”

Shasta nodded. “But she’s seeing somebody too. Only it isn’t just the usual number—they’re working together on some creepy little scheme.”

“To make off with hubby’s fortune, yea, I think I heard of that happenin’ once or twice around L.A. And . . . you want me to do what exactly?” He found the paper bag he’d brought his supper home in and got busy pretending to scribble notes on it, because straightchick uniform, makeup supposed to look like no makeup or whatever, here came that old well-known hard-on Shasta was always good for sooner or later. Does it ever end, he wondered. Of course it does. It did.

Hey boys, whats the strongest drink you can make? I feel naughty and need it, whatever it is. No whisky though, can't take that.

19 Apr 2010

It's on the list, Thanks Rumple... excellent bourbon (slides the empty glass down the bar) I'll have another...

Something strong hummm... long island ice tea should fix you right up LadyX...

Well, let's see. The bar's famous, Gorilla Killa, begins with a double-shot of 151-proof rum then gets a serious octane boost.

There's also the ever-popular, Everclear Martini and paint stripper.

Care to try one, or both?

(stare at Al's empty) You, uh, wanna refill, maybe?

The Everclear Martini is a wonderous elixir. It's right up there with an unlimited American Express Gold card as an agent of seduction.

That's a relief. I approach TLAP day with the sort of enthusiasm usually reserved of public radio/TV fund drives.

Hope you enjoy the grog. Here's Bloody Mary (seemed appropriate) to wash it down.

Thought i would offer before you did ol rumple. nice to see this place still has it all and plenty to excite us males.

20 Apr 2010

Sounds a little (self serving ) to me.

20 Apr 2010

Greeting, Jack. While this is an oasis of civilization and contemplation geared toward both sexes, new staff members do seem to attract more male attention.

And have to tried out the new pinball machine?
