Ice Troll

One night Guck got very drunk on iceberg beer and wandered down the mountain to the coast for a swim. He was having a good time in the breakers when he passed out. He was out just long enough for the sun to come up, and that was a mistake, because trolls and the sun don't mix. He tried to dive back down under the water but it was too late. In the act of diving, he was turned into ice. And that is when I happened on the scene. So in a sense, because it was a very beautiful way to go, I am Guck's eulogist. Way to go, Guck!
