Hunter S. Thompson

If this dumbass, waste of time blog had a mascot - Hunter S. Thompson would be first choice. He's someone worth missing and there ain't nobody like him. Nobody close. The man wrote without borders, lived without fear and died like a monster. Portrayed by Bill Murray (WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM) and Johnny Depp (FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS), he's uniquely both Hollywood and anti-Hollywood, quintessential hero and ultimate villain.

When I die - I also want to be shot out of a cannon. Well - what is left of me should be shot out of a cannon. Speed was definitely a factor.

By the way - having a few at the Stirs tonight. I'll look to the East as my thirst is being slaked by ice cold vodka and salute Denmark.
