NP but a little Chandler tidbit

[Robin Landseadel]

I posted and re-posted on that one. Drove at least one of our regulars  
on the P-list to distraction with that one. There's a long and noble  
tradition of Camp-Vamping Chandler. The Big Lebowski is everybody's  
recent favorite, But I recall James Gardner's Marlowe as firmly part  
of that tradition as well.
