Kurt Vonnegut's second wife forced him to adopt a baby at age 60

[Rutherford_b_Blaze]

He was 60, not the baby. He tried to commit suicide shortly after but lived another 25 years until he tripped over his dog's leash and fell down the stairs. He had a life long fear of being killed by his own dog. I don't know why I just thought of that. I read a biography on him and it was pretty depressing from start to finish.

He also came home from the war to visit his mom and she committed suicide. For the rest of his life whenever he met a new person he would tell them "My mother committed suicide."

Sounds like a bit of a Debby Downer

The guy hated when anyone had any fun. He would lash out at his family for smiling basically. Dude was nuts. All of his books would feature a character setting themselves on fire in suicide. Guy used to sit around at night fantasizing about how he could burn himself alive like a maniac.

His mom committed suicide in a brutally painful, fucked up way too. She swallowed Drano.

I stole Mother Night from my school library because the cover was hilarious. Read it and loved it, then Breakfast of Champions and so on. Kurt Vonnegut was a miserable, funny motherfucker.

Anyone ever see the Breakfast of Champions movie? If you can even find it, it's worth seeing just for how bad it is.

perhaps the most tragic aspect of his life is that one of his daughters fucked kurt metzger.

One of his daughters also married Geraldo Riveria for a few years.

I read Venus on the Half-Shell way too young, mostly because my mother told me it was inappropriate for a 9-year-old. Should have just told me it was boring and the cover was a misprint. Dumb bitch, I showed her.

I went to see him do a panel discussion shortly before he died. The other speakers were boring and long-winded. He stood right up, walked off the dais, and out the door without saying goodbye to anyone. Alpha move.

Nigga never got over being in Dresden during the firebombing.

Did you know that Artie Lange would be dead if he had abs like David Beckham?

Happy people are terrible writers. That's why comedy sucks ass today. It's a bunch overpaid, self-absorbed dipshits who complain about minor inconveniences for an hour.
