Nick is not bored - not
when he
can read his latest Tim Dorsey masterpiece Orange Crush
featuring once again
that lovable homicidal hero Serge A. Storm. Hilarious
stuff if you have
a sick mind like Nick and I do. So far I have only read
Hammerhead Ranch Motel
of which I
was reminded while staying in Nick's condo. In one of my
favourite
scenes,
Serge - claiming to be a resort's hired lotion boy - has
slathered an
arch-villain, a really nasty piece of work, with sun-tan
lotion and
then set him on fire. The screaming fireball runs
towards a pool just
across the road where a geezerish guard slams the gate
in his face and
announces: "Residents only!"
