3. He terrorized Jack Nicholson on his birthday.
The story: Thompson’s birthday celebration for his friend Jack Nicholson consisted of the following, outlined in his book Kingdom of Fear: “a massive outdoor amplifier, a tape recording of a pig being eaten alive by bears, a 1,000,000-watt spotlight, and a 9-mm Smith & Wesson semiautomatic pistol with teakwood handles and a box of high-powered ammunition.” Oh, and a frozen elk’s heart, which he left on the actor’s doorstep while he played the tape through his Jeep and the amplifier, and let off a couple rounds from the Smith & Wesson.

the good dr. changed my life. lots of what i believe about healthy skepticism is directly inspired by hst. my views about ronald raygun (re-read the “star-wars” stuff from the reagan years), george bush and W (he’s a war criminal) are my way of keeping the faith. i took an unhealthy and hero-worship attitude about some of it though and i pranked some people that didn’t appreciate it at the time. i tried to make amends to them.
do you remember when dick cheney face-shot the guy on a wild goose hunt? (cheney? wild goose hunt? no he dint say that!)
i know for a fact that there was something else happened:
W was the shooter. he was all fucked up on the blood of the poor and he had that look in his eye. some of them that had been present at previous “episodes” began to put distance between themselves and the commander. he started with, “I am going to shoot your face off!”
Again, the more senior members of the party started to scatter. They knew he meant bidness after two or three drinks and several actually “ducked for cover”.
After W missed his mark, there was a scramble for the newsbyte. A genius said, “I know! We’ll tell ‘em Dickie done it!” They had some kind of typical party member blackmail handy on the victim and the rest is history. He apologized for being shot in the face and paid the fines and Cheney went on to commit war crimes for the rest of his career. W. was, according to the official story, at home trying to figure out the remote when it all happened.

W was literally the scariest face in all of politics. Still is.
Well, Trump’s pretty scary, too.

Excerpts from the never-aired 1973 Scooby Doo episode with guest star Hunter S. Thompson.
We were ten minutes south of San Clemente when the putrid green daisy walls of the van started closing in. I recall the fat four-eyed lesbian sweater girl saying something like “are you okay, Mr. Duke? We’ve got a mystery to solve…” when suddenly the gullet of the garish chartreuse steel beast began to spasm, as if a digestive track readying itself to vomit. I began clawing at my hamstrings and when I turned my head I was looking into the irridescent eyes of a grotesque animal screeching “Ruh Roh! Ruh Roh!” in a hoarse irritating dog-accented gibberish. That’s when it things began to turn weird.

Aspen, Colorado: Ten years after the death of iconoclastic American writer Hunter S. Thompson, his “political DNA” still runs deep in the Rocky Mountains town he called home.

i’ve seen this photo in numerous articles, books, etc. i think warren zevon includes it in his greatest hits box set. i rarely dabbled with typewriters until they had a screen atttached, but everyone can identify with this feeling.

It’s on my bucket list for Sara and I to drive cross country to Las Vegas. In a convertible. Maybe going 100+ mph.

Wow. Just wow. Am I the oldest of your audience? I read “Where the Buffalo Roam” sometime in the mid to late 70’s. I was born in 1960.
Wow because of the resemblance.
At 77 I think I’m the oldest.
Oh, right. We ran the numbers.
I wasn’t going to call anybody out 😉
