Being old, death gets my attention, so I read the obituaries. This is a collection of recent obits, mostly of people whose work touched my life, because I want to say thanks (or maybe give 'em a final fuck you).
There’ll be a roundup like this occasionally, until I’m on the list myself.
Fuck cancer right in it's stupid ear. I'll take sudden, unexpected death, even a stupid death, over watching someone close slowly auger into the ground like that. Hell, I'd rather suck start a shotgun over watching another loved one scoured away by cancer. There are people I'd kick in the junk on sight, and I still wouldn't wish cancer on them.
