Made-up as a test out of the deep nooks of my cortex:
"The tumptubbing of the beer barrels bouncing down the ramp in the morning sun smudged the sound of the garbage trucks hoisting their trash high then depositing the offal in its innards."
Stephen King
"The tumptubbing of the beer barrels bouncing down the ramp in the morning sun formed a couterpoint to the sweet chirping of the birds."
James Joyce
"The sweet chirping of the birds formed a counterpoint to the tumptubbing of the beer barrels bouncing down the ramp."
James Joyce again. I'll bet it was the tumptubbing. I remember reading something like that in "Ulysses."
"The gun flew out of his hand when my big .45 bucked and the slug hit him in the guts, where it would hurt."
Stephen King again. I was
shooting trying for Mickey Spillane.
"Made-up as a test out of the deep nooks of my cortex."
Ursula K. Le Guin Never read her. Hmmm... "Made-up" = "makeup?"
Feh.
