Pop Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Thompson, you suckerpunched me when I was a teenager. When I got my hands on a copy of Hell's Angels, the die was cast. I never decided whether you woke me up or pointed me straight into the tornado. Hell's Angels, Fear and Loathing, man, I just knew I had to get me some of that. Ya crusty, warped bastard. I hope the gods keep a place at the table where you can take notes. You did your best stuff from out on the edge and now you crossed the Rubicon that brutal, ascerbic, acid drenched pen is gone quiet and I 'm stuck with buckets of oatmeal propaganda, smarmy starryeyed jibberish and morality gestapo approved drivel. I hope you left a note. This would be a helluva a time to decide to not report the facts from your point of view. Another turn of the wheel.

pablo94 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Heard that this morning.... At first I couldnt believe he checked himself out.. but after I thought about it.. it did sort of fit.. He will be missed.. I wasn't that suprised but,.... I thought he would go out in hail of bullets rolling down K-10 highway on his way to his next lecture series, trunk full of grenades, 45 and a pack of marlboros on the dash, the whole petal to the metal in say a 78 Grand Torino. Cops chasing him and firing as makes his getaway until shear disaster when his car tires blows, he rolls, but somehow jumps out firing away with 45 Cal. Hail of bullets, yeah I like that a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo94 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Here is a bio of some of his more highlighted crazy ass adventures. Hunters Adventures[/url When I saw him speak at KU he was so fucked up he could hardly stand, ended up sitting down, dropped his bottle of whatever and it rolled off the stage, he mumbled some profanities, somebody tossed it back on stage, and away he went on one of his classic stories/tantrums.

Thats usually when you want the drugs to take effect ,riding through the desert is like taking acid anyway! You see all kinds of shit out there but really there aint nothing there!
