The point is that if Limmy killed himself he would expect a thread idiot.

bliznutty: "you now suck. go kill yourself.it won't even make a thread. disrespectful asshole."
What you just said was disrespectful. You're lucky to be alive for saying that to me.
Do you know who I am, mate?

He was a brave and ingenious writer, though he was also a very disturbed freak. The drugs caught up to him, his health went downhill, and he was in a constant state of fear and loathing.
He probably took too much essence of human pineal gland, looked at the television and imagined he saw a 13 headed Richard Nixon monster with pink neon tentacles. Seeing no hope for an apocalyptic America he pulled out his 8mm and blew his brains out.
RIP you inspired redneck freak!

If he saw no hope, it was probably no hope in himself.
Did I manage to sound like one of the gang there?

i know what i said was disrespectful. i don't respect you.hunter s. gets respected by many - even after suicide. i believe you will never achieve this - you 'ratbag'.
i'm 'lucky to be alive' - eh?
- lowimpakt0
Anyone who tops themselves and leaves a wife behind is a ratbag in my book.
And, please, no "well it goes to show you how he must have felt" shite.
Anyone agree?

completely agree Fatty. that's exactly what i thought when i read it. he was a man who liked to live life to its fullest. it's hard to do that when you're 65. not his idea at least. he lived on the edge - he wanted to be high as a kite. i think he felt that was it for him.

For the record:
"We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the
whole world--a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather kill than live peacefully. We are not just Whores for power and oil, but killer whores with hate and fear in our hearts. We are human scum, and that is how history will judge us...No redeeming social value. Just whores. Get out of our way, or we'll kill you.Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid rich kids like George Bush?
They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill gooks. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are the racists and hate mongers among us--they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis.
And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them."

Still, I would've expected his departure to be a bit more...grandiose....go out with a bit more of a proverbial 'bang'

for all you out there who haven't had the chance to read his books or this journalistic contributions, i suggest you take some time out of your busy day today to honor a man who was one of the most eloquent voices of his generation, issuing not only scathing critiques of government policy both foreign and domestic, but poignant observations about the hypocrisy of our culture. a true soldier died this weekend. hsp rip.

The Rum Diary is my favorite. The Great Shark Hunt is very good too...

I will leave the ridiculous part of this thread alone. Some of you are being very disrespectful and you should really be ashamed.
I'd like to comment (and hear other's comments) about why it seems that some people that are so blessed w/ artistic genius end up wanting to escape it. So many greats in history, Van Gogh, Hemingway, Cobain (i'll probably get ripped for that one alone), and more recently Thompson and Spaulding Gray, decided it was the better way to go.

probably setting myself up for a snipe here but ...
.... i dont read and didnt know who he was before it was on the news that he was dead and im not going to pretend i know anything about him or pretend to have read his work or books.
"fear and loathing.." the film was a laugh - i do know that.
One of his mates was being interviewed on the news last night and he said everyone that knew him knew HOW he was going to die, but they didnt know WHEN.
It is a bit of a shitter doing that to his wife though. He maybe shoulda waited 'till she went first.At least he stuck to his word though.
- taragee0
his wife was his assistant for all these years too im sure she was not suprised
- k0na_an0k0
hopefully before he did it he at least told his wife where he left the spare set of keys.
