Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted February 21, 2005 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.

Jingus 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dpac 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2005 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....

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
