remembering george maciunas:

I remember visiting George with my dad and being
flabbergasted by his projects. Some of my favorites
were the suicide kits and feces kits that he sold. The
suicide kit consisted of small compartmentalized clear plastic
boxes that contained the necessary tools to do yourself
in. This kit did not include instructions so you had to get
creative with some of the objects. One was a fish hook on a string
that George pointed out. The hook would be swallowed
then by pulling up the on string you would get to your maker.
