Subject: Author Thomas Disch kills self...

Written By: saver on 07/11/08 at 2:38 am

Name sound familiar?

After a time of depression, 68 year old author Thomas Disch committed suicide-July 4,
most known for his creation of THE BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER

*PERSONAL NOTE:  Although I am against committing suicide, in the case of people who choose to, I think if you choose to end your life prematurely, in my world I would ask to use a method related to your work..i.e. a depressed bull fighter-jump in front of a charging bull, a cook-stick head in oven..and ironically in Mr. Dischs' case, why not sit in a tub and droip in a plugged in toaster?)

I'm just saying....

He's light YEARS ahead of me and I only get a gem or two a year!

But nothing quotable..I just come off like I'm complaining and that eats people out from the inside..in fact that's why this messageboard is my playground..I mean many of the things I publish but some to  spur conversation....

(btw-I did have the pleasure to meet Mr. Hicks,years before his passing!)

No I actually was turned on to him by my son in law a couple of years ago. Great stuff. I couldn't figure out how I had never heard of him actually.
