The masturbating bananas, severed heads, and what have you?

when chickenmaster chose to end his life this winter, apparently he wrote some here emails so heavily-laden with them, tony included that they're kind of raw right now. weird guy, alone with a cat. and i'll give him credit for figuring out how to hang himself in a 700-month apartment, fixtures must be playdough.

I'm sorry to hear that. He was a very interesting and entertaining character. Seemed so robust. Yet so did Hemingway.

nah, hemingway was a shotgun-guy, buckshot to off oneself is a bit of a statement. not open-casket michael jackson shit, that guy and kobain made it clear they wanted out, chicken's not a 000 shell to the head guy, especially in canada. hemingway's cats were just background, he liked killing animals when it came down to it-a man loyal to cats accept it's a cat and wants to kill mice which is part of being a cat. wanting those billfish and the dangerous game in africa as much as he did is farm cat/dog owner stuff-chicken's not the type to be driven to go out and decide to kill a 1000+ bluefin or cabo-in-past marlin or sailfish then go get gangrene in africa killing much more sentient and frankly, difficult animals when there's deer that work for 98 percent of hunters.

plus, chicken interacting with a charter captain for 72 hours or professional hunter for ten days is unfathonable. funny. but nah.

Both Hemingway and Cobain made half hearted attempts before commiting fully to the no-going-back approach. And I'm not sure big game hunting is something you can really hang any kind of theory on insofar no bs masculine archetype. I always assumed it was a form of role playing like Mailer often embarrassingly fostered in public, often in front of the likes of Dick Cavett. (and didn't he headbutt Gore Vidal). I may not know what I'm talking about. Different times. In any case Chickenmaster never struck me as a shrinking violet and I could never picture him melting down here. But then it is idiotic to reconstruct a real personality based on how they perform on a message board.
I love reading you but you are exhausting. Kind of like David F. Wallace without the structure of the footnotes.

gay overcompensation worked for the guy, i just don't see chicken tolerating the people associated with the getting to the fish or buffalo and all the testosterone-fueled boredom involved. all one can do is remind themselves they're your employee for the immediate future, they're assholes but paid for assholes and if you just can be a prick and make it evident they're service industry workers for the next couple of days, they'll be tolerable. otherwise i'd give chicken 24 hours at a camp with booze involved before he goes falling-down or loses it, the asshole-factor and chicken are combustible.

chicken's competent, not much of a statement guy, meaning he'd actually buck porn's failed suicide streak and figure out some very effective but not "call the police honey, that was a gunshot next door" attention-whore shit.

i'm exhausting, but it's not six-days a week of it. you're alive, your posts are gold, can i bribe you with periodicals and predictable-streams of paperbacks to post more or troll adt one more time?

Focusing on big-game hunting, any theories on why doctors are such prolific hunters? Growing up, my best friend's dad was a doctor and their house was filled with trophy kills. We used to wrap up in bear hides to play games. They even had an ashtray made from a bear's paw. The local airport is filled with stuffed trophy animals and most of them were killed by doctors it seems. And after knee surgery not that long ago, my doctor was talking to me in the recovery room, telling me how he was about to head off to Africa to go lion hunting with a bow & arrow. Btw, is that even legal?

God complex.

Steezo , ask your doc to show you the secret trophy room full of gall bladders and amputated legs. The one where he will one day keep your liver.

My liver deserves its own trophy room.

The God-complex idea makes sense, I guess.

Maybe it's as simple as who else can afford jetoff to Nairobi for a month at a time.

Plus if you plan on hunting cape buffalo with a bow and arrow it is probably a pretty good idea to have a doctor tag along with you.

Doctor hell ! A M.A.S.H. unit !

Chickenmaster chose to end his life this winter?

Are there pictures of this life ending?
