The dead have it easy.

Echoes of Mark Twain. I love it.

Also funny: Frank Kafka.  Followed by the Adams comment, I laughed, despite still being saddened by the loss of Douglas.

Tragicomedy!

Try giving us a clearer picture of why you are unwilling to participate in your species.

Plus, a sweet Rosé will be perfect for rinsing the horrible flavor of pickled herring out of their mouths in a hurry.

If Onstad only wrote the advice column, and it only came out like once a month, I would still make sure never to miss it and would be glad as hell to have it.

It took me a few more readings of this to really get the bitterness underneath it. And who can blame Ray -- I mean, he went and got neutered, man. It can't feel good to be forcibly prevented from "participating in your species" only to see some ingrate write in and whining about his commitment to doing it voluntarily.

I'm not sure what's sadder, sometimes: what we learn about Ray or what we learn about his readers.
