You'd think .38 special would!!! |
So enlighten us then..... |
From the old video game Deja Vu ...the character has a .38 special ~ |
I never played it. I have heard of it, though. Sounds cool, like a detective variation of Myst.
And if a mobster/detective/bank guard/cop/dick had anything other than a thirty-eight, I would be very disappointed. It would ruin it for me   |

Nah, I'm okay with Unsanitary Callahan. Different era, different piece. Although, to be historically accurate, he ought to have used a .357 magnum. But that just doesn't have the "big ****" factor, I suppose 
Speaking of opening lines... From Dirty Harry: "Jesus."
Yeah, you know it just blew your mind. The first word spoken in the film is of the Big-C man himself.  |

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the very memorable first line from a book many consider to be the finest novel ever written:
"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
Another very famous first line:
"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin." |

TO THE READER. - I here present you, courteous reader, with the record of a remarkable period in my life: according to my application of it, I trust that it will prove, not merely an interesting record, but, in a considerable degree, useful and instructive.

"This is where the journey ends. He has arrived. Somewhere on the face of the earth. That's all he knows. The light is gone and the noise has stopped, the droning, the vibrating, the lurching. Nothing is moving. They've left him alone. Time stands still. But it's not dark and it's not quiet."

Not a great opening line really, but a great book. I have to re read that again soon... |

I actually am a huge fan of that opening line. I do have to admit that The English Mail Coach is his best work, tho. |

Daphne loved speed. Not in the traditional sense: she rarely pushed her weathered Honda Civic past third gear. The race for Daphne lay in the corridors of her mind, long and labyrinthine, and the girl needed her get-up-and-go.
Hank Moody gets me going. Just makes me want to smoke, drink and look at how crappy the world is becoming. |
