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.
I had another revelation this morning. I can be all spiritually sound when I’m by myself but…
Put me behind the wheel, cut me off, go 5mph below the speed limit like you’re on some leisurely summer tour of Martha’s Vineyard — I’m ready to throw fire crackers so you’ll pick up the pace.
And THEN turn off a block away. 😡
Seriously, if I got somewhere to be — don’t make me angry. 😘
“You just watch yourself. We’re wanted men. I have the death sentence on 12 systems.”
And yes, I’m mixing Star Wars and Incredible Hulk quotes. That’s what you do when you’re me.
Suicide Squad opened last weekend, breaking records for an August release, but at least one guy and his brother (who is a lawyer) are so mad about the movie they intend to sue. Their complaint comes down to noted edgelord Jared Leto being barely in the film despite all the deleted scenes used for the trailers. Using deleted scenes to spice up a trailer is nothing new, although some movies like Fantastic Four have come under fire for the practice. And now — if Redditor “BlackPanther2016” isn’t just an elaborate ruse — this trailer practice may earn a silly lawsuit for “false advertising” in the U.K. court system.
I had a revelation a few minutes ago. It’s long but it was worth it for me to write it down.
Back when I was maybe 19 or 20 and washing dishes in a restaurant, the baker’s appearance had gone downhill. Meaning she quit wearing her hat and apron and never tucked in her shirt. She looked like she absolutely didn’t care, frumping around and all.
One day my boss asked me what was up with her and I’m like, “I dunno but she looks a little slobby.”
Suds at the Tyler Street car wash. Sometimes it’s good to get Maggie and myself out and away from the screens. Of course I had to capture the moment though and share on social media. 😉

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