'Loving' farewell to writer Wife details family gathering with Thompson dead in chair

ASPEN — Hunter S. Thompson heard the ice clinking.

The literary champ was sitting in his command post kitchen chair, a piece of blank paper in his favorite typewriter, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot through the mouth hours earlier.

When the going gets tough, the weird get weirder....the sad and thouroughly exploited end of a writing legend...

[msnimje]

Did he perceive sending a bullet crashing though his brain in the kitchen would cause a mess that someone would have to clean? Could he not perceive the amount of turmoil that would cause his family?

[pissant]

He was an imbecile.

Can anyone answer a question?

I was trying to post this picture:

But when I preview it, the pic is very large, much more so then the link I am taking it from. My last photo post did the same thing.

Ugh. I can't believe I read the whole article. It's so disturbingly flaky--weirdness doesn't even begin to describe it. What is left unsaid is even more disturbing...this was one sick household.

When the going gets tough, the weird turn suicidal.

You are being too generous. What he was rymes with wussy.

[pissant]

he was a hussy?

[highpockets]

Damn funny sometimes.

Run-of-the-mill loser is more like it.

Must have 'size' parms on the host site.

I posted it with height=400 width=300.

The 45 was a nice choice. I wouldn't be surprised if it failed to exit the head.

I went to your link and then previewed it as a post. They were the same size.

[IronJack]

Yeah, he was some kinda happy hero, wasn't he? Talk about people living in denial.

[MisterRepublican]

A drug-addicted, wet-brained, old hippy "journalist" puts a bullet through his brain. Boo hoo freaking hoo.

[Michael.SF.]

How do you change the size? I right click, properties, then cut and paste?

I read it too. Ho-boy, that is some messed-up family.

I wrote him a letter once, about eight or nine years ago, asking him why he hadn't written, "Fear and Loathing Inside the Clinton Administration." Apparantly, his perceptiveness was capable of detecting only Republican corruption.
