May his soul rest in peace,... (Below threshold)1. Posted by epador | April 12, 2007 12:43 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
May his soul rest in peace, he had a tough young adulthood, a stark humor and sadly all too accurately and cynically bent.

"I guess the moral here is: you must be careful what you pretend to be because, in the end, you are who you're pretending to be." - Howard W. Campbell Jr., Kurt Vonnegut's "Mother Night"

Sad he's gone. But he left us some great writing. Thanks, Kurt!

Mantis,
That's verbatim what I thought when I read the headline.
So it goes.
I guess you just have to know Kurt's work.
I had to laugh like hell.

Indeed.
We had a memorial services for Isaac a few years back, and at one point I said, ''Isaac is up in Heaven now.'' It was the funniest thing I could have said to a group of Humanists. I rolled them in the aisles. It was several minutes before order could be restored. And if I should ever die, God forbid, I hope you will say, ''Kurt is up in Heaven now.'' That's my favorite joke. src
Kurt is up in Heaven now.
