    Great author. Loved his shit.


    But you can do a lot worse than dying at 84.

    it's okay guys

    he had been to this day many times before

    he was okay with it by now

    well

    yeah

    to be honest

    ever since he wrote God Bless You, Dr Kevorkian

    pretty much knew this was coming

    but god damn it still sucks

    I always wanted to shake his hand

    yeah he's always been on that long list of dudes i'd love to just have coffee with and pick at their brain

    This is one of the very few celebrity deaths I am actually sad about

    he actually contributed to society and culture and he did amazing things

    so it goes, I guess

    Joking aside, yes its sad, but the mark he left on society as a whole is permanent. Being a writer, people will be reading his great works for many many years to come. So just honor his death by spreading the word about his great life!

    well he's dead now

    just like Jesus

    I would've put Rod Serling in as Jesus, since he's from my hometown, but I figured Adams kicked more ass.

    Check out Slaughterhouse Five; it's probably the closest thing to the truth that my grandad ever told me about WWII. It's really fucking chilling when you take it at more than face value.
