Sometimes you scare me, Corso Where is this from ?

[Claverhouse]

Just a question thrown out in the hope someone knows the answer:

Blackmask Online (http://www.blackmask.com/cgi-bin/newlinks/page.cgi?d=1), who publish etexts on the net of out-of-print stuff, has this tag attached to it's title:

Sometimes you scare me, Corso

I just can't remember where this is from ( if I ever knew ). A film ? I'm thinking Peter Lorre there, possibly James Cagney. A book ? Pulpfiction from the 30s ? A catchphrase ?

Anyone know ? It's kind of neat.

Why don't you ask on their forums? It does kinda sound familiar, though...

Genius, jimkopelli ! I hadn't even noticed they had a forum: thought they were like Project Gutenburg, steadily churning out stuff. May do so, but... I'm not sure I want to join anymore fora just now: particularly those one visits just a few times a year. There's Elephant Chat, EmailDiscussions, Axis History Forum, Russia.com, Northvegr, and a dozen or so I never get round to... I spend way too much time here. I'm just about giving up Lockergnome, and concentrating on jacobite/royalist stuff, here, and Slashdot. Plus glances at Catster & Dogster.

Hairless Bluetick: sweet.

file_cabinet: thanks for your devotion beyond the call of duty. You can get up now.

Still, the puzzle remains.

[ Could it be Raymond Chandler ? [ Thinking of Lorre, mentioned above ] I could never read him myself. Preferred Donald Westlake ).

A normal Google search turns up a number of links to a site - Blackmask Online - which seems to be a site for online books. But a search for this phrase at that site did not turn up anything (for me anyways).

You mean, the same site that Claverhouse gives a link to in the first post? Wow, everyone has their observation goggles on today. Geez. :ph34r:

Edit: It's late, I'm cranky. Wah.

Doh!

The recent dramatic increase in posting volume has resulted in me paying a lot less attention as I skim. Serves me right that I make myself look stupid. :ph34r:
