my all-time favorite crank and bull****-caller. R.I.P.

kilgore trout died at 84, so did vonnegut. interesting.

Glad to see this thread....

RIP, thanks for writing. :(

wow, you make it sound like a tragedy. He was 84 and accomplished a lot in his life... I hope I can say the same for myself someday.

Of course there isn't, it should take less than the death of an old man for you to realize that.

Go take a flying fu*k at a rolling donut.
Go take a flying fu*ck at the moooooon.

Rest in PEACE, Kurt.

spoken like a true humanist.

definitely a prolific and meaningful life that deserves to be celebrated

queerpunk - "long walk to forever" was originally titled "you're hell to get along with", i believe. the magazine it was published in changed the name, unfortunately. yet another reason why vonnegut is amazing.

I made an alter from my first edition and burned a candel and a few pall malls and stenciled a t shirt with his face.

it's been a week....but i was just thinking about him and reading up on him online...part of me wants to say that this is truly a tragedy, as the u.s. moves closer and closer to a police state and religious zealots are around every corner, that we have to lose one of the best free-thinkers and bull-**** callers (as another forum member said)....but i know that even though now, of all times, his death has hit me with the most grief and dsimay....i guess i really just have to try to overcome that and say...

so it goes...

edit: any columbus kids got a pall mall?

funny i found this not two minutes later:
