Homeless Ventriloquist Contest: Mmmm Snickers for You!

by Jim Washburn

If you're like me, you're probably reading the latest installment of the Lloyd Sippie mystery The Homeless Ventriloquist for the fifth time, marveling at its deeply nuanced vision of 1966 Los Angeles and the feeling it evokes in you, a feeling that says, "Gosh, I wish I had a Snickers bar right now."

Well, this could be your lucky day. Go read the latest Sippie chapter for a sixth time (and we're talking Chapter 13 here, "Summer in the City") and see if you can't identify the sentence that includes both a pun on a famed 1960s (and beyond) Los Angeles athlete's name, plus a second not terribly good pun on his later Muslim name. That's like getting peanuts and nougat together in the same sentence! Be one of the first three readers to email me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) with the correct sentence and your mailing address, and a delicious Snickers bar will soon be no farther than your own warm mailbox. Mmmmmm! Top that, Bicycle Cop Dave!
