What is McCandless?

Christopher Johnson McCandless (12 February 1968 – 18 August 1992) was an American wanderer who hiked into the Alaskan wilderness with little food and equipment, hoping to live a period of solitude. Less than five months later, he died of starvation near Denali National Park. In 1996, Jon Krakauer wrote a book about his life, Into the Wild, which inspired a 2007 film of the same name. (AKA ALEXANDER SUPERTRAMP)He lived in Magic Bus 142 during his stay in Alaska, & died by eating seeds which had a poisenous fungus on them.
McCandless was strongly influenced by Jack London, Leo Tolstoy, and Henry David Thoreau, and he dreamed about leaving society for a Thoreau-like period of solitary contemplation.

McCandless - what is it?

Huge supporter of Hillary Clinton, like pyschotic obsession.

Especially loves her Health Care Plan.

I like to think of myself as a BIG Hillary Clinton supporter, but not a MCCANDLESS Hillary Clinton supporter. Thats just fucking nuts.

What does "McCandless" mean?

Meaning a person who thinks she's a Vanderbosch, but not really.

Anne thought she was Vanderbosch smart, but she really was McCandless smart, which is o.k., if you're from the North-East.
