    A 'novel' idea:

    cute premise.

    Reminds me of one of my favorite Law and Order episodes. A bitchy gossip columnist gets gunned down outside a classy restaurant. A crowd gathers after the police arrive, and somebody announces who the victim is. Everyone in the crowd applauds.

    Cut to Detective Briscoe: "Well, you give the people what they want." [RIP Lenny :( ]

    Ah...Lenny.
    Isnt it amazing the two of the best chars on that show are the drop-overs from the Bal'mer {play on words/names} series?

    And who's that good looking chick with you, there. How'd a goofy looking doofus like you hook up with her?

    My secret? She didn't get lasic eye surgery until after she'd already invested 25 years in me. :wink: I'll pass along your comment.

    I like the idea. Yeah, I'm thinking about writing a novel about being stalked by emo kids whilst on a school bus (true story, happened last year)
