The hipster-est Mary Sue manly adventurer by a mile. Those books were weird because they were like double self-inserts with Dirk Pitt driving around cars Cussler himself had (And IIRC would also be posing next to on the back cover), but then when Cussler would inevitably lose the plot, he's just put his normal-rear end self in as a *~*MYSTEROUS STRANGER*~* to get the boys back on track. They were pretty rad when I was a kid though.

That would be his other character Kurt Austin who won't shut up about progressive jazz and how hyper expensive restaurants with tiny portions are superior because they leave you room for dessert

Aren't those things so dumb and agressively full of testosterone that they frequently starve to death from spending too much of the fall loving?

Groda posted:Aren't those things so dumb and agressively full of testosterone that they frequently starve to death from spending too much of the fall loving? Dumb and aggressive, yes. Starving to death, not so much. The bulls with a herd of cow elks don't eat much during the day because they're protecting the herd, but they eat at night. Growing up in elk country, the bull elk that cause most of the problems are the younger herdless ones that don't get to gently caress. Elk aren't particularly smart at the best of times. You've got a young, dumb teenage elk, blasted it out of its mind on testosterone, and any time it approaches a cow it gets its rear end kicked. They wind up in this weird state where they just start attacking random things, like "the only way to get my rocks off is to win this fight against a golf cart".
