This was horrible news to see tonight. HST has been a role model to me (save the jokes) for close to7 years and his passing is truly sad. I can't believe he ended up killing himself, but it was his choice to we should respect that. Rest in peace Hunter and my prayers go out to his family.

Fans of awful literature everywhere mourn.

This really sucks. RIP Hunter

 

Anyone here own the "Fear and Loathing in :as Vegas" Criterion DVD. Listen to his commentary track. It is fucking awesome

[Jingus]

It's my fault. I glanced at a the DVD of Fear and Loathing today in Blockbuster and considered renting it. Nice to know my Touch Of Death is still in proper working condition, I got worried when the last few days went by without any catastrophes.

Hunter S Thompson was also the inspiration for Spider Jerusalem *points to avatar*

Remember, guns don't kill people...

Man... shotgun golf would have been so fun too. RIP.

[Special K]

Shit he'll be missed. I can't believe he took his own life. Hopefully he's eternally kickin' it with Bukowski. RIP. Drugs lead inevitably to bad things, guys.

Wonder what the motive was. Just heard him being talked about on on a radio during the Super Bowl, and he seemed to be in good spirits. They were also interviewing XSports Athletes and they were all saying he is a god among them, Real big sports fan, just odd that this happened....

I thought he was a better short-form journalist than writer of long works. Love some of his old Rolling Stone stuff. Iconic for sure, saying amusing or worthwhile things 7 times out of 10. Seeya.
