Damn it, Hunter!

[docwebster]

You should have gone out in one last, glorious mescaline fueled binge. You should have been shot while running naked across the field at the Super Bowl, waving a phony bomb, looking out for giant polka dotted bats and chugging a bottle of Wild Turkey in one hand all the while smoking a bowl of premium hash in that pipe of yours!

How in the wild, blue hell could you go in such a hopelessly mundane way as suicide?

You stupid, stupid, stupid son of a bitch.

Reincarnation had by God better be true, because you owe us a glorious death, you magnificent bastard.

Absofreakinloutely!

Well said friend!

[yobadself.livejournal.com]

Haha, no joke.

[yobadself.livejournal.com]

Are you serious?! You're quitting already?! Hmmph!

[docwebster.livejournal.com]

I've got a sick lady to take care of. So neener on you. With sprinkles.

Besides, I've got to get up tomorrow so I can be at the post office before it closes and mail out a certain videotape. ;)

[yobadself.livejournal.com]

Are you serious?! You actually did that for me? *faints* Hum-diggity! I *heart* you...even though I always think you are, in fact, Gene Simmons cuz of your icon. Har! :D

One caveat: being as the only car in the house is a manual and she's the only one who *drives* manual, the trip to the post office is contingent on her feeling up to it tomorrow. Otherwise, it'll get mailed from the Jefferson City post later this week. But yes, it shall be mailed.

Awwww, muuuuuuuuch love!

And what's your opinion...is it as terrible as Ritz thinks it is, or is it good in that bad sort of way?

[docwebster.livejournal.com]

I think he's being much too hard on it. It's no work of art, but it's still good fun.

[yobadself.livejournal.com]

Great. Besides, I love the soundtrack.

I mean...c'mon...Bitchin' in the Kitchen, Little Black Dress...what's not to like?

[inkmistress.livejournal.com]

*pouts*

I thought you were talking about my tape.

*stops pouting*
*sigh*

I'll be patient.........ish! ;p

Driving a manual isn't difficult :) I learned how to do it in the space of an hour or so. Accelerate, off the accelerator, clutch in, shift, clutch out, accelerate, off accelerator, clutch and brake at the same time, downshift, etc

I had a 30 minute driving lesson from wcg and then had to drive the car about 30 miles the next day to get it home.

I really miss having stick. I'm hoping that my next car will be one :)

Read docbrite's LJ, she saw him last year, poor guy could not stand on his own.

I was about to make mention of the same thing. I usually consider suicide something that completely strips away any respect I had for a person, but in his case, I can understand the reasoning behind it.

[docwebster.livejournal.com]

I've known several people who've taken that step, for one reason or another. In my experience, people who decry suicide are people who have never been that hopeless, that despairing, that utterly lost and I pray to God they never are. You can't even begin to conceive what that's like, and with luck you never will.

I've been there, myself. I didn't do anything about it, obviously, but it always irritates me when people just dismiss it out of hand.

Easier said than done. By the time you're ready to do it, you're in no condition to be doing anything fancy and you just don't want to mess up or have some idjit try to stop you. I'd like to go out like Butch and Sundance myself, but we'll just have to wait and see.

A friend of mine said he should of driven a harley off the side of a cliff while in some drug induced frenzy.

[kshandra]

I don't know. Something about the way he did it - just putting down the phone in the middle of talking to his wife and eating his gun - is still very him.






(I still have the key, sweetheart.)

[disgruntledgrrl.livejournal.com]

Sort of like the final punctuation to the ending sentence.

[socialvomit.livejournal.com]

well put.

[ceruleanst.livejournal.com]

There's still the cannon. Sounds like they're gonna do it.

Control is what he wanted, and what he had in the end. No matter how you look at it.

yep, now Hunter will be eligible for his well deserved sainthood finally

Hunter S. Thompson quotes on death:

Hunter S. Thompson quotes on death:
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it
because the only people who really know where it is
are the ones who have gone over.
Bush is really the evil one here and it is more than
just him. We are the Nazis in this game and I don't
like it. I am embarrassed and I am pissed off. I mean
to say something. I think a lot of people in this
country agree with me - a lot than that are saying
anything...we'll see what happens to me if I get my
head cut off next week -- it is always unknown or
bushy-haired strangers who commit suicide right
afterwards with no witnesses.
One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered
mutant never even considered for mass production. Too
weird to live, and too rare to die.
My concept of death for a long time was to come down
that mountain road at a hundred and twenty and just
keep going straight right there, burst out through the
barrier and hang out above all that . . . and there
I'd be sitting in the front seat, stark naked, with a
cast of whiskey next to me, and a case of dynamite in
the trunk . . . honking the horn, and the lights on,
and just sit there in space for an instant, a human
bomb, and fall down into that mess of steel mills.
It'd be a tremendous goddamn explosion. No pain. No
one would get hurt. I'm pretty sure, unless they've
changed the highway, that launching place is still
there. As soon as I get home, I ought to take a drive
just to check it out.
