- AmyVernon, on 12/31/2008, -4/+59HST was a special kind of crazy. The good - though still dangerous - kind.
- Hetman, on 12/31/2008, -2/+53"And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back." HST RIP
- Scrappy1850, on 12/31/2008, -3/+54the good doctor still brings me wisdom everyday.
- RansomHoldiay, on 01/01/2009, -0/+37the only candidate to ever shave his head in order to refer to the crew cut wearing incumbent as "my long haired opponent..."
- Tyrghast, on 01/01/2009, -1/+36Mr. Thompson had ironclad balls the likes of which I shall never posses.
- anxdiety, on 01/01/2009, -7/+36Where the ***** is the poster for "We can't stop here. This is bat country" ??
- shiddysmurf, on 01/01/2009, -1/+24Dugg for anything with Hunter S Thompson. Did anyone see the episode of Conan O'brien where Thompson and Obrien were getting drunk and shooting assault rifles?
- inactive, on 12/31/2008, -3/+26thompson ruled, definitely one of my favorite authors. any one who only knows thompson for fear and loathing is really missing out on alot.
- roman6187, on 01/01/2009, -1/+23"In a nation ruled by swine, all pigs are upwardly mobile—and the rest of us are ***** until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. We owe that to ourselves and our crippled self-image as something better than a nation of panicked sheep."
—The Great Shark Hunt, 1979
AMEN... - shutaro, on 12/31/2008, -0/+22There's nothing more motivational than having a gun pointed at you!
- sockpuppets, on 01/01/2009, -0/+20At least he made sense when he typed something.
- apothekari, on 12/31/2008, -4/+21We all miss you, I wish you'd stayed to see how the Bushies would end But, I'm sure you'd seen it all before.
- EvilJohn, on 01/01/2009, -2/+19"If you're going to call someone a pig *****, you'd better be prepared to produce the pig."
- xxxermaxxx, on 12/31/2008, -2/+18We can also learn from the article that smoking and guns are motivational items! Hell yeh!
- inactive, on 01/01/2009, -0/+15this is the best article to hit the front page in months.
- shiddysmurf, on 01/01/2009, -0/+13Correct. He authored it.
- pbone, on 01/01/2009, -3/+16RIP Hunter. I think this postsecret card sums it up pretty well:
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a234/madeofmeat/ ... - thomleidner, on 01/01/2009, -2/+14Put down the PS3 controller and pick up a book.
- Neworab, on 01/01/2009, -1/+11Dugg for the badassness of the courage one.
- pszcz1, on 01/01/2009, -0/+10God bless self-important tools... awful jackass
- pangea, on 01/01/2009, -0/+10I saved that secret. It struck me hard, because he did; he saw what this country was capable of.
Whatever hope you have because Obama is president should be weighed against George's 2nd term. - dirtymerkin, on 01/01/2009, -0/+10HST had his ashes shot from a cannon shaped like a fist with two thumbs while his friends and family partied late into the night. That is one hell of an exclamation point. RIP
- Armughan, on 01/01/2009, -5/+14Dugg for Acid
- robodud3, on 01/01/2009, -2/+11This is bat Country!
- iamhumble, on 01/01/2009, -0/+9For those that have a NetFlix account you can watch "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson" streaming...
- inactive, on 01/01/2009, -0/+9he wasn't crazy, he just knew how to live.
- Mongo61, on 01/01/2009, -1/+9"You'd better take care of me, Lord...because if you don't you're going to have me on your hands."
Uh oh... - busybenj, on 01/01/2009, -1/+9I'll have to consult my attorney.
- FearAndLoathing, on 01/01/2009, -0/+8The Rum Diary gives a fantastic look at Hunters beginnings, as you read it you see the beginning of his writing style. Should be interesting to see the film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376136/ and for those who want to know more of his great works http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliography_of_Hunte ... all worth a read
- sanguinekane, on 01/01/2009, -0/+7"Buy the ticket, take the ride." Words to live by, and advice I always try to follow. If more people took the same brutally honest approach to life that the good doctor always did, we might just be better off as a species.
- gl77, on 01/01/2009, -3/+10Never heard of you, buried.
- sanguinekane, on 01/01/2009, -0/+7Actually he espoused being able to end his life at any time he wished, so in a way he was living up to his ideals better than most people ever do.
- inactive, on 01/01/2009, -0/+7don't tell me what to do
- Nateon, on 01/01/2009, -2/+9***** Hunter S. ***** Thompson. ***** Yea!
- inactive, on 01/01/2009, -0/+7And for all you that don't:
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4348327/Gonzo.The. ... - RansomHoldiay, on 01/01/2009, -0/+7Faith: Call on God, but row away from the rocks.
- wild, on 01/01/2009, -0/+6It would be great if this was the last set of motivational posters to ever hit the front page. I mean, seriously, how can you top this?
- PopcornDave, on 01/01/2009, -0/+6+1 for observational skills. Now would you like to compare him to Raoul Duke in Dunesbury as well?
- richehh, on 01/01/2009, -0/+6While Mr. Tambourine was playing :)
- richehh, on 01/01/2009, -0/+6Just....no. Read Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72. Come back and say he had nothing of interest to say after you have read that please.
- wild, on 01/01/2009, -0/+5Yea, man, you're so much more hardcore HST than us. Nevermind the framed copy of Rolling Stone Issue 67 sitting on my bookshelf...
- c0st1k, on 01/01/2009, -1/+7Exactly what I was thinking, or talking about "I was in the middle of a reptile zoo and someone was giving booze to these god damned things" or "Devil ether it makes you behave like a drunkard in some early Irish novel"
- sloobydooby, on 01/01/2009, -1/+7don't read these and start laughing, because many of them are very true statements
- druranium, on 01/01/2009, -0/+5don't forget coke, speed, mdma, psilocybin, mescaline, ether, nitrates, thc, and cousins.
- Impius, on 01/01/2009, -1/+6"In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity."
Hunter S. Thompson - inactive, on 01/01/2009, -0/+5RIP
- SpeedyThing, on 01/01/2009, -0/+5Or maybe he was intelligent enough to deal with the drugs? In my opinion the only difference between 'real addict' and 'tourist', is that first uses as an escape whilst the later tries to learn something about themselves
- pe5t1lence, on 01/01/2009, -0/+5Because these are 'more real' motivational posters, and not just funny.
- the2989, on 01/01/2009, -7/+12Dugg for Hunter S. Thompson
- pagno, on 01/01/2009, -0/+5I got this for xmas. I have the best brother ever.
