"My obsession with serial killers began when I was ten years old. My fourth grade teacher told our class that we should we should never hitchhike , because the only people who picked up hitchhikers were perverted serial killers. This advice was complicated by what my fifth-grade teacher told us the following year; she said that we would all have driver's licenses in a few years, and the one rule we should always remember was never to pick up hitchhikers. This was because all hitchhikers were serial killers. According to what I learned in public school, every person on every freeway was trolling for destruction. I used to imagine nomadic, sadistic drifters thumbing rides with bloodthirsty Volkswagen owners, both desperately waiting for the first oppurtunity to kill each other. Hitchhiking seemed like the ultraviolent race against time."-Chuck Klosterman; Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs
This is what I read before Matt and I saw Zodiac a few weeks ago. It was great!
