My sadness at Mr. Vonnegut's death reminds me of when Shel Silverstein died... another literary genius whose comments on the human condition were unique, sublime and right on the money.
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others.
I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

Yay for tributes to the greatest author of our time!

God Bless You, Mr. Vonnegut.
And so on.
He was one of my favourite authors ever.
RIP.
He was my hero.
So it goes, indeed. What a loss.
RIP
He once said:
"Please Notice When You Are Happy"
Today I am Not.
Well said. Well said indeed.
this was probably my favorite tribute today!
Thank you Jessica that really summed it up for me.
Kurt is up in Heaven now
pithily put.
thanks.
Thank you, Jessica! Nice "eulogy". :-)
"If you can do a half-assed job of anything, you're a one-eyed man in the kingdom of the blind."
Genius.
I'm happy that I read his books.
This really is a fine tribute.
He was a man without a country...
Now, he's a man without a body...
Says more about those of us still living...
The world is a slightly sadder place for his absence. He will be missed.
"So it goes."
Here, here!
The best Vonnegut tribute I've seen. He'd approve.
Here, here!! (We'll miss him.)
Lovely. Well done.
Kurt is up in heaven now.
HAHAHAHA

perfect. thank you.
There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’
my favorite author to read in HS, goodbye.
Well done Jessica. Well done Kilgore Trout.
Vonnegut is/was one of the very few Americans I respect....
He's in Tralfamadore now...
Jessica - great eulogy.

He died? That sucks.
This is my favourite Vonnegut-quote:
While there is a lower class I am in it, while there is a criminal element I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. (Timequake)
Thanks Mr. Vonnegut
