kilgore no more

Kurt Vonnegut Jr., a writer who truly knew how to poke your brain-eye with a stick, has died today at 84.

his work was an inspiration to me. his bizarro sci fi theories, as voiced by alter ego kilgore trout, still make my head spin.

it was kvj who suggested that life is a sexually transmitted disease and also that life is nothing but an elaborate transportation system designed by water. he was a drunk and a coot and an irascible old goat. basically all i've ever dreamed of being.

so a moment of silence for him. if you live anywhere near lake michigan, tonight would be a good time to be prepared for the giant lampreys to come. and rest assured; they will come.
