In the summer of 1981 a gruesome quadruple homicide occurred on LA s Wonderland Avenue. The police investigation that ensued exposed a seedy underworld full of liars, thieves, and drug dealers. At the center of the investigation were three groups: a group of low level drug dealers and thieves who are the murdered , a notorious LA kingpin and his goons, and the legendary pornstar John Holmes, along with his wife and girlfriend.

I can see him raise his drinking vessel to his Nile-side neighbors while repeating the words. Every country in the world has some sort of traditional drinking toast, often dozens. Usually one or two words, common toasts are not in the same league with toasts to the bride which can drone on for hours , or to the retiree who s been with us for 30 years but would rather get to his food while it s hot. All of these really should be briefer, especially if a meal is being served. The everyday, no black tie, corner pub toasts exist in every culture and the vast majority simply mean I wish you good health . Not surprisingly it is the English who have strayed from the norm. Cheers , Down the Hatch , Bottoms up and many more. I always assumed the...
