Thanks fo...Glad the web site is being appreciated. Thanks for putting up the link.<BR/><BR/>It's a very basic, basic web site design, but I'm hoping the content is attractive enough to override whatever rudimentary HTML skills I have.<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://patnovak.50webs.com<BR/>How to make a classic noir radio detective series (in 10 parts):<BR/><BR/>1. Have Jack Webb play cold-as-40-below Pat Novak.<BR/>"She didn't die, baby. With that much lead, she sank."<BR/><BR/>2. Give Novak a drunkard but wise and loyal partner in the clutch.<BR/>"A good guy, but to him a hangover is the price of being sober."<BR/><BR/>3. Pit a brutish police inspector against Novak and always on his tail.<BR/>"Now talk nice and save teeth."<BR/><BR/>4. Add in women, preferably of the "if the looks could kill" variety.<BR/>"You knew the first time you met her, you'd been seeing her too often."<BR/><BR/>5. Set Novak in the middle of an alluringly brazen San Francisco.<BR/>"Along the Embarcadero, nothing's perfect except the heels."<BR/><BR/>6. Mix in thugs, hired guns, and a double-cross or two.<BR/>"Look, mister, I'm sick of your mouth. It's a big floor, so stretch out."<BR/><BR/>7. Layer with cynicism.<BR/>"It's a good living if you don't run short of bail bonds and Benzedrine."<BR/><BR/>8. Blend in the occasional simile.<BR/>"The street was as deserted as a warm bottle of beer."<BR/><BR/>9. Remember, there is no substitute for murder.<BR/>"During the summer, the morgue's the coolest spot in town."<BR/><BR/>10. Call it Pat Novak, For Hire.<BR/>"I rent boats and kick around a few scruples, if the price is right."<BR/><BR/>more on . . . http://patnovak.50webs.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1138311207062282442006-01-26T15:33:00.000-06:002006-01-26T15:33:00.000-06:00Thanks for posting this.
