Workers put the finishing touches on a memorial to 'gonzo' journalist Hunter S. Thompson near his home at the Owl Farm in Woody Creek, Colo., on Saturday, Aug. 20, 2005.

For those who visit Lucianne, Hunter was "Catalina" on Lucianne.
Funny how this turd made the headlines on yahoo all day.

Good riddance....with the utmost respect.
Could not care less. This guy was the epitome of everything that is evil about the left. Self-centered Egostistical Chauvenist Lying Hippie Druggie Low self-esteem Scum
Should have done this while he was still alive. It would have meant more to me.
...to each his own, I suppose... *coughcreepcough*
I bet that there maybe might perhaps be about 2 1/2 people here that give a flying 'f about Hunter Thompson's ashes. I only hope they don't sift down on us here in Dallas.
A fitting memorial to Thompson - struggling for attention in death, just as he struggled for attention in life.
This should have happened years ago.
"Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers, also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls... and I was still bored to tears after five minutes with this guy..."
Doesn't this violate environmental regulations?
What was remarkable about all that was that, then, Hunter admitted in his book that he was an "asshole."
Didn't he already go out with a bang???
Ping.
I still don't get it, but happy trails.
Sadly, I believe the extent of that blast may be the closest to heaven he ever gets.
To read about this is sad, in a way. I always wonder when people, who have lived lives with little or no acknowledgment or respect for God, devise plans that seem to be one last "in your face" to be carried out after their deaths. I wonder if their perspectives from their new vantage points in the after life wouldn't cause them to want to tell their friends not to carry out those plans because they aren't so clever or humorous, or fitting, after all.
I knew a guy who told his "old lady" to put a Bible in his casket at the cemetery before they buried him. She did. The Bible had been hollowed out and had a bottle of whiskey inside it. They had laughed together with their friends about it before he died. If they were laughing at the cemetery, I didn't see them. I thought it was very sad.
