Hunter S. Thompson... is he "THE ONE"

[ixion]

Hunter for President!!

just thought I'd rankle those folks over in GD :evilgrin:

[Shakeydave]

1. Not a bad thought.......................

I have 20 pounds of weed, three thousand hits of blotter, enough speed to keep the 81st Airborne afloat for a year and our tires in the Caddy are inflated to 2,000,000 PSI! Let's head for Las Vegas!

[ixion]

2. great quote, Shakeydave

I read "Fear and Loating in Las Vegas" in college... I have to say it changed my life. ;-)

:hi:

[Shakeydave]

7. One of the few books that ..........................

stayed in my ADD mind! :hi:

[Old and In the Way]

5. One of the great openers of all times.

I think you topped the Doctor, even! :thumbsup:

[Shakeydave]

8. I am but a humble servant!

Long live the free and open minds!

[Nevernose]

3. Go home, troll!

Everyone already knows that Dr. Thompson is working for the Skull&Bones/Bush cabal, is the secret lover of Ralph Nader, and is only in the race to steal it away from REAL Democrats like Abbie Hoffman.

You know, I've always expected you to be a Freeper plant...and now, with this Hunter Thompson thing, I at last have my proof!

[ixion]

4. excuse me?

A freeper plant?

Obviously you don't know the first thing about me.

I'm really hoping that was a joke.

[Shakeydave]

6. Hey ixion!

:hi: Seems we've been tagged a lot in the past few days by Freepers. Guess with the polls sliding, DU is their only remaining bitching grounds. It's the last vestiges of a dying administration!

[ixion]

10. yeah, some people's kids, I tell ya...

:eyes:

Howdy doo, shakeydave... good to see ya again, so to speak... :-)

[Nevernose]

9. I was about as serious about the "freeper plant"

As I was about the rest of it. I thought it was fricking hilarious, btw, but what do I know? :D

[ixion]

11. lol... okay sorry...

forgot I was in the lounge there for sec... ;-)

[Nevernose]

14. No harm, no foul!

Unless of course you've been planted here by Rolling Stone, sent to infil-ma-trate DU and promote your candidate at the expense at the expense of other, more tenable 60's radicals. :hippie:

I wouldn't put anything past the bastards who put "Fitty Cent" or whatever the hell that guy's name is on their cover.

[ixion]

15. darn... blew my cover

but, I have to admit that if I were to choose an ideal candidate that Thompson would be up there in the top five. I think my number one choice would be Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

[Nevernose]

16. But if Kurt were the candidate

No one would have any idea of what the hell he was talking about.

[ixion]

17. ROFLMAO...

Yeah, he can be a little abstract sometimes, but then he knocks out corkers like these:


"fish got to swim,
bird got to fly,
man got to sit and wonder,
why, why, why"
-- From 'Cat's Cradle'

"Just because we can read and write and do some math, that doesn't make us the Masters of the Universe."
-- From "Hocus Pocus"

"Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God."

I mean, how can you argue with that? :-)

[Shakeydave]

13. My apologies as well!!!!!

WooHoo! :bounce:

12. Hunter's recent rant on ESPN ...

The good doctor's most recent rant ...

http://espn.go.com/page2/s/thompson/030915.html

Our dangerously goofy child President from Texas is a squalid example of trouble coming home to roost. He is like a half-bright football coach who goes into a big game without a Game Plan. BOOM! Shame and failure will follow you for all the days of your life. Selah.


The Bush family reeks of fraud and bad karma. But even worse than our wretched, gibbling president are the cowardly whores in Hollywood who are currently smearing film stars and music people like Johnny Depp by calling them unpatriotic Americans who righteously question the wisdom of invading a whole nation of Islam -- 1.8 billion worshipers -- which is a dangerously stupid idea. Disagreeing with Donald Rumsfeld about bombing anybody who gets in our way is not a crime in this country. It is a wise and honorable idea that George Washington and Benjamin Franklin risked their lives for. These thieves in the White House are so crazy with greed and power, and they are causing so much drastic damage to the world we live in, that they are the ones who should be put on trial for treason.


OK, I am getting a little excited here, so I think I'll wrap this up quickly, before I spiral out of control and burst into flames. I am widely known as a pure-bred, natural-born patriot and a lover of what this country used to stand for. The Statue of Liberty wasn't out there for nothing. Beware of War Mongers. They don't give a hoot in hell if you live or die. They are in this racket strictly for themselves. Mahalo.
