opinion of the story and author = Excellent!! Excellent parody!! I could just hear Bogart saying these lines, and the adult humor-- though not for everybody-- is just graphic enough to give me funny images that will stay with me forever. Thank you for such as excellent story!! I would give it a 10 if I could.

Story_author = Sam Schpade - Private Detective by Gary Gordon
Points = 5 points
opinion of the story and author = I've been following Gary's writing for a while now - from science fiction to political commentary and now to this latest piece - and it just keeps getting better. I really miss parody and scathing satire. I wish more writers would step off the beaten track and just have a little fun like Gary did. I hope he enjoyed writing it as much as I enjoyed reading it.

name = Tyler Vance
Story_author = Sam Schpade - Private Detective by Gary Gordon
Points = 5 points
opinion of the story and author = This is the second story I have read by Mr. Gordon and I am even MORE impressed by this one. Very few writers tackle parody anymore, but he not only tackles it - he takes it to the ground and beats the hell out of it. I have followed Gary's political parody/coverage for a good while now but it looks like I was missing a lot of good stuff. Keep up the good work, GG.
