Hunter S. Thompson...

me either

and I don't get what point he was trying to prove if someone here DIDN'T know a lot about him
just to make himself look better or feel better?

I don't get it and I thought it was a very inappropraite thing to say

 

i get b/s round my town about stuff like this often so it's ok, damn coffee shop elitist fuckers. but it's all good.

 

I guess I'm just really touchy about the subject.

As far as the way he died, it was perfect for him, but it still hurts me.

 

i was pretty upset about it when my mom called me and told me, but it was probly the best way for him to go................ death didnt even scare the man. makes him seem more fearless, he will most def. become a legend

 

I remember when he used to write regularly for High Times and Rolling Stone in the 70s. Definately great stuff. As for the movies from his books.......I got pregnant with my last child during Fear and Loathing.....hey, I like Johnny Depp, what can I say?

Does anyone but me remember when National Lampoon did a parody on F&L with little kids and their adventures with too much candy on a tricycle trip? Amazing. It was probaby published in about 1979. Anyone remember it?

 

The best always go first!

Wait for us HST, we´ll meet again at the big bong in the sky...

 

yeah, a friend of mine told me this today...
we held a silent minute for him.

 

I dont think he killed himself, I've read almost everyone of his books and anyone who said they aren't suprised is an idiot who doesn't know anything about him anyway. The only reason i didn't post this topic is because for me the loss is still to near. Viva La Thompson.

 

it surprised me to hear about it, but the more I thought about it, it just fits. Don't you think? Doesn't it make sense that he takes his life in order to keep fate in his hands and not in the hands of some more powerful force? He would never just let anyone or anything take him.

I'd like to talk about what you think, but only if you can get off your superior ego trip and debate without calling anyone an idiot.

 

ill admit i dont know much about thompson. ive seen where the buffalo roam, fear and loathing, read the book, and read rum diaries (which i thought was boring)......
now would be a great time to buy "breakfast with hunter" that documentary he released. its hard to understand that fucker in person, hes always so drunk.

hey, i dont know if that comment to funkyfreshmama was meant in any negative way, i do the same thing just to make sure people arent bullshitting, not to put em down or anything.... call me an asshole, but he did say he was glad to hear you DO know what your talking about, so its really not all that negative is it now?

 

I mos def agree!!!!!!!! A natural death of old age wolud not have been fitting for this man................ I guess its time to brace ourselves for all the conspiracy theory posts on how the government injected him with arsenic
​

 

I thought about some conspiracy theory, or the fact that it was an accident trying out shotgun golf.

If anyone was trying to off him, I think they would have done it when he was younger, when he started something no one had done before. He hasn't done much lately.

I still hope we find some sort of good bye letter. He was a writer for fuck's sake. He had to have signed off.

 

didnt he have some moodswings? i mean, maybe he suddenly got incredibly depressed and then...

 

I hope not. I don;t want to think of him that way. Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels better to think it was a strong, heroic act.

 

Coffee shop elitist? I'm a college drop-out computer tech, and I've seen this type of bullshit everywhere, not just with Hunter, SHIT, look at your post. You're talking about a writer and you call him a "fucking genious." The man wrote for his whole life and you can't even do a quick spell check? Open your eyes.

 

ha ha. again, you care way too much like I stated in my reply to your pussy Pm.

spell check. yeah as if I care enough.

you need to find a way to make yourself feel good besides picking out imperfections in everyone else.

 

Omfg. I Wasn't Even Talking To You In That Comment. You're So Vain You Think This Is All About You.

 

since all you've done is PM me about how better you are than me, yeah I thought that.


This guy is NUTS, people!!

 

I was talking to the phunky one, as you and her decided, in your infinite wisdom, that you could rag on me and agree on this and that. "It feels better thinking this was a brave act blah blah." Whatever makes you sleep at night; he killed himself cause he was in pain and it sucks to be in pain. It wasn't brave, it wasn't cowardly, he killed himself because he was in too much pain for years. When you naive fuckers come down from the lysergamide and reality doesn't quite glow the same way you want it to, maybe you will realize this.

 

in the words of Ned Flanders...

okily dokily!!
