I take the liberty of quoting a runner-up:
"Die, commie pigs!" grunted Sergeant "Rocky" Steele through his cigar stub as he machine-gunned the North Korean farm animals.Next year, I may offer the following:
At a public reading of Paul Clifford, Lord Lytton got only as far as "...dark and stormy..." when he was interrupted by a time-traveling Josh Marshall, who angrily decried the "obvious" racism.Poke fun at Lord Lytton if you will, but he surely did something right. He lived in the house used for Wayne Mansion in Tim Burton's original Batman movie.
