Heroic Struggle, Died Unexpectedly

Red has relaxed his Cow Barn media ban allowing Crumby to peruse the obituaries in the fascist daily, Austin American Statesman.  Yes.  And Crumby enjoys the obituaries.  Yet Crumby has noticed that in the obituaries, the quitters may either die unexpectedly, or after a heroic struggle.   Crumby feels like these twain quitter strategies are probably mutually exclusive.  That's because, presumably, an heroic struggle is long on duration and suffering, but the end is generally predictable or inevitable.  Whereas, on the other hand, to die unexpectedly is a gobsmacking out of the blue. 

So there it is.  One may discover a Druid Dichotomy even in the obituary pages of a fascist newspaper.  (Which would you rather, die unexpectedly, or after a heroic struggle?).    Hmm.  Since death, unlike taxes, is inevitable, everyone should be ready  or prepared.   Like the potential quitter should have a will ready to go.  That way, unexpected death, while a bummer for the quitter,  maybe, is less troubling to those lining up to receive his or her stuff.  And what about mortal remains disposal.  The pre-quitter needs to spell that out too.  Then,  with all that done, the quitter who dies unexpectedly is just about trouble free compared to the heroic struggler.

The heroic struggler, of course, has plenty of time for a will and a disposal strategy.  Yet Crumby can easily imagine a heroic struggler who also refuses to do any paperwork, due maybe to an antisocial disposition.  Mercy!  We are now discussing the worst of all possible species of quitter.  Yes.  This particular quitter lingers heroically for like forever;  yet during all that time won't do up a  will or provide documentation for mortal coil disposition.

I don't know if this is any help or not, but Karl overheard Crumby tell Ray that Ray could have Crumby's  Voodoo Doll collection.  Also,  dead Crumby needs to be dumped in a public bar ditch.
