    I merely intended to use those two authors, both noted for their originality, as the highbrow and lowbrow bookends of critical and commercial success.

    Those who have never experienced the beauty of Space Raptor Butt Invasion or Creamed in the Butt by My Handsome Living Corn have never truly lived.

    He was nominated for a Hugo award, btw. It started as an attempt to discredit the prize and its nominees, but hey, if someone wants to get me nominated for a RITA award on a lark I'll gladly accept.
