He was getting up there, but sad nonetheless.

Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: Jayce on April 12, 2007, 07:48:25 AM Sad, but we knew it was coming. Maybe I'll re-read all his books in memoriam.
And I'm glad he acheived his lifelong goal of not committing suicide (successfully). Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: HaemishM on April 12, 2007, 08:10:10 AM /sadf
Another great voice and mind lost. Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: Bunk on April 12, 2007, 08:46:11 AM Not dead, just cruising the cosmos with Tralfalmadorians. Cat's Cradle is one of my all time favorite books. Not much else I can say.
Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: Zar on April 12, 2007, 10:43:22 AM Sad news indeed, one of my favorite (if not my very favorite) authors. It's somewhat amazing he survived as long as he did though, considering his chain-smoking for 60+ years and his suicide attempts. I found it interesting that he died of brain injuries following a fall, and not symptoms resulting from old age or disease. Who said smoking or depression were bad?
I'm going to get drunk and call ex-girlfriends in your honor tonight, Kurt. RIP. Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: Riggswolfe on April 12, 2007, 10:44:55 AM Hmmm...I thought he was already dead. *shrugs*

RIP Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: Abagadro on April 16, 2007, 02:58:12 PM You stay classy Fox News. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnAaDEFk7Uk)
Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: stray on April 16, 2007, 03:01:46 PM Someone should firebomb FoxNews.

Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: HaemishM on April 16, 2007, 03:04:13 PM Goddamn, that has got to be the most classless, crass shittarring I've seen someone put on a dead man since Hitler. Fucking douches.
Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: schild on April 16, 2007, 03:07:53 PM Imus makes fun of nappy-headed basketball players on a team no one gives a shit about, submits himself to public humiliation and THEN gets fired.
Fox news shits on one of the greatest authors in American history and no one cares/notices/gives a shit. This has been a good few weeks for American Media. Goddamnit. Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: Nebu on April 16, 2007, 03:08:51 PM Anyone that watches Fox News and takes any of it seriously deserves what they get. I'd be saddened to know that the news shows on Comedy Central are a more accurate depiction of reality.
As for Kurt, I've always loved this quote: Quote from: Kurt Vonnegut If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in a kingdom of the blind. Rest peacefully Mr. Vonnegut. Thank you for the great quotes and interesting works. Title: Re: Kurt Vonnegut has died Post by: naum on April 16, 2007, 10:26:36 PM Wow, that was just so wrong…
