The guy did did have a way with words...

"Why bother with newspapers, if this is all they offer? Agnew was right. The press is a gang of cruel faggots. Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for f*ckoffs and misfits - a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy p*ss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage" -- H. S. Thompson - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Final paragraph - Chapter 13

I respected his early work, but later he just veered off into being a wing-nut leftist fool tool. I could even forgive that, because let's face it, he was "wet brained" by then.

But when he committed "losercide" while with his dipsh!t wife on the phone at the same time, after leaving his splattered noggin for his FAMILY to find....

Well, I just don't give a d@mn what they do with his ashes.

But I think an outhouse would suit his memory best.

Self-indulgent, narcissistic, exaggerated sense of self-importance, unoriginal drama queen.

I like yours better. The "self-indulgent, narchssistic, exaggerated sense of self-importance" stuff rounds it out... :)

Won't that contribute to global warming ?


I think Hunter would have liked that.

I can picture him now, wandering the stars, like an
explorer on an ether binge.
