The bells of St. Mark's were ringing changes up on the mountain when Bud skated over to the mod parlor to upgrade his skull gun. But if one of these slowly rotating stars collapses down to a small size, the rate of rotation increases dramatically. True enough, one wall was all covered with silver screen, and direct opposite was a wall with square holes in for the projector to project through, and there were stereo speakers stuck all over the mestro. This one promeses to be bigger and bertter than ever before, and I wouldn't be surprised if four hundred million people showed up. "About an hour ago he took a sudden turn for the worse."
Works Cited? Shouldn't this be done in Chicago?!
The Diamond Age is the only one I recognized from its sentence. Great book.
Yeah, it's hard to miss "skull gun" :) I was hoping clockwork would reveal an obvious Nadsac phrasing, but unfortunately it did not work out that way.
