ASPEN, Colo. - Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic
counter-culture author of books such as "Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas," fatally shot himself Sunday
night at his Aspen-area home, his son said. He was 67.
"Hunter prized his privacy and we ask that his
friends and admirers respect that privacy as
well as that of his family," Juan Thompson
said in a statement released to the Aspen Daily News.
Pitkin County Sheriff Bob Braudis, a personal
friend of Thompson, confirmed the death to
the News. Sheriff's officials did not return c
alls to The Associated Press late Sunday.

Oh! I just remembered! I also have a VHS copy of "Fear and Loathing..."
with great performances by Benedicio Del Toro and that fag, Johnny Depp,
I'd be willing to sell. I can't remember off-hand but the tape might
have been partially recorded over with an episode of Star Trek, the Next
Generation. I'll let it go for $100.00, considering.

I know you are only saying that because you are a dumbass. I tried to
read one of his books once and after two pages I said, this stuff is for
dumbasses. Of all the people I have known who might say that he was a
"fucking great writer" only about two of them were not dumbasses and I
don't mean you. Hey, dumbasses need writers too, I am not against that.
I just don't find the stuff at all readable. If you are the type of
person who has read maybe two books in your whole life and would rather
just get drunk and watch hockey, then yeah, it's definitely for you.
Not me. Because I am SMART and don't think getting really loaded and
then shooting guns is in any way admirable. The fact that he ended his
days a brain damaged lunatic probably has no significance to you either.

True on a lot of points. But Thompson wrote better than you, nenslo.
You have more room to talk shit about the talentless than most people,
but despite that, Thompson wrote better than you do.

Look, just because you think something doesn't make it right. And I don't
take advice from a person who read a whole two pages of someone's book!
If you don't like Hunter's work, fine. But being glad someone is dead, who
made deep and yes painful commentary on the American culture of the '60s,
'70's, 80's, and 90's is just plain fucked up in the head. As far as I am
concerned you're a jealous fuck and I'll listen to you when you write
something worth fucking reading.

You seem to be advising people that if they read Hunter S. Thompson they are
"stupid," unlike yourself, who has read at least several "real books." I
will take your advice under advisement from counsel...uhm, she says "Fuck

Do you know how to read for context? You are an anus-brained moron. I do not
take advice from you, commentary from you or flames from you that might
adversly affect my life in any way. Because you are fucked up in the head,
this makes my not taking anything you say seriously way more easy. Clear
now?

Just because I read something doesn't mean it was worth reading. Sort of
like the whole two pages of Thompson's work you once say you read. And
here's the deal. I have no respect whatsoever for any so-called Subgenius
who has not read Hunter S. Thompson's work. Frankly he preceded your
officious ranting by some twenty years and you are nothing but a mild
laxative form of Hunter S. Thompson.
However, for the record, yes I've read a lot of your drivel for a couple of
days now and am still awaiting with impatience, the arrival of something
worth reading. It is damnably difficult to read and read and read and read
and read and read and get to the dead-end of one of your posts and realize
there wasn't a damned thing in it that was even mildly interesting.
You see. my posts are now simply dedicated to serving the purpose of
ferreting out your little "Tail Gunner Joe" McCarthyesque little scam! Here
you are, an insane twit, closeted in his home with a computer and a bottle
of some sort of anti-psychotic medication, calling himself the "real
subgenius" and trying to convince others that there are a bunch of Pinks
under your bed! "Yor so PAIUNK! You ain't got no SLAIUK!" Indeed!

i have no respect for any Subgenius who has not read either The

Does Pynchon actually describe a "rainbow" created by a gravitational

Nenslo joined the Anus-brained Morons in 1965, just after the death of
Bassist, Jimmy Winklehoney. So no he wasn't the drummer. But he was the
shit. Nenslo was always called: "The Noisy One." If you recall the most
famous press conference in 1965 when the boys were asked: "How did you find
America?" And Nenslo quipped: "FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING RETARD! JUST SHUT UP!
I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT!"
After that incident, everyone, everywhere burnt all their albums and Nenslo
began dating "The Manhunter" in Colorado where he set up his first Subgenius
compound and began collecting guns "Just so I could destroy them later."

To even suggest that there was something wrong with not liking his
writing or pointing out that he was a drunk old waster would be
missing one of the most important things to understand about HST. I
agree, however, that not connecting with his writing is not a good
reason to be glad the man is dead. Then again I wouldn't expect
someone like that to ever understand what Thompson really had to say,
and fuck people like that. All but two of his friends who liked
Thompson may have been dumbasses, but a strong 100% of the people I've
met who would gloat over someone like Thompson's grave were dumbasses
who wouldn't know a dumbass if a dumbass bit them in their dumb ass
and I've certainly run into a few in my time. The odds are running

Sounds as if severe clinical depression finally did the man in. Its not
at all uncommon in artists, possibly because its one thing among many
that can skew your perceptions, such that you CAN offer up alternate
points of view, whether verbal, visual or aural.
However, in that instance, it comes with a high price. When people
sometimes say "Gee, I wish I was talented," its clear they're only
seeing one side of the situation and are unaware of both the dark
aspects and the simple hard work required to get it done, regardless of
any special capacity for doing the supposed Great Thing.
I thought the guy was often hilarious and offered many great twists on
the bitterness born of being immersed in the same bastardy that
essentially birthed "Bob" and almost all other forms of satire. Its both
a way to fight back and a way to grow past it personally. Yeah, he was
screwed up, but what the hell; when your work is good, its all just part
of the package. Overall, his work was good. 'Nuff said.

you every 10 or 16 minutes like waves of boiling asphalt and poison
scum. Followed by sergeants and lawyers and crooked cops waving rule
books. And where nobody laughs and everybody lies and the days drag by
like dead animals and the nights are full of whores and junkies clawing

Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish --- a

I honestly can say that this comes a no surprise whatsoever. If he was
gonna go, he was going to go with style. Dostoyevsky felt that scuicide
was the ultimate act of control over fate, forbiding something as
trivial as chance or fate to decide when you end. I don't condone
scuicide, but Hunter S. Thompson himself decided that it was over, and
no one was going to tell him a single fucking thing different. He died

And here I've been thinking for the last couple of years that he'd
already died! I was shocked to learn of his suicide ONLY because I was
surprised that he was still alive at all. I guess that shows what I
haven't been reading lately.
I read his old famous books a long long time ago and thought they were
quite funny.
I was in the Aspen airport about 8 years ago and was CONVINCED I saw
him sitting at the bar. I had almost gotten up the nerve to go hand him
a Pamphlet #1 when I realized that ALL the men sitting at the Aspen
airport bar looked just like Hunter Thompson. Since I didn't have
enough Pamphlets to hand to everybody I just blew it off.
Maybe if I'd had enough Pamphlets, he'd still be alive now!
But I doubt it.

You realize of course that according to Nenslo this makes you a RETARD and

STUPID? (His quotes, not mine!)

Before there were ranting Subgenii. There was Hunter. Yes he pretty much
dosed his mind into a paranoid delusional world of blood-sucking vulture
bats and lizard people...but then, isn't that what all Subgenii fear and/or
worship and/or believe in and/or pester people about in Aspen bars? Whereas
he took loads of mescaline and LSD, we do our Frop. He really showed us how
pink and perfect the American Dream was on the outside and how malignantly
insipid and horrifically rancid it was on this inside. He was exposing
America and its peeudo-politico-religious fervor and dehumanizing corporate
mentality, its will to impose immoral, unethical "freedoms" and "values" on
a world weary of our arrogance, twenty years before the first Bob pamphlet
was printed. In other words, I think Hunter S. Thompson should be a Saint in
this church, because he was the perfect precursor to all Subgenii
everywhere. And frankly, I often wished I had his cojones! That motherfucker
rocked the pink world on its ass. The world will be a more deviously
cretinous and banal place without him.
Hunter S. Thompson, I salute you!

nenslo does that crap to get a rise out of people and keeps it up as
long as it works.
If you ever succeed in getting a rise back out of him, he killfiles

Wrong. I am the precursor to all Subgenii everywhere.
And HST died because Walter Bowart and I performed together in Venice,
Calif., on Feb.7/05. The energy of that night WOULD depress HST. He couldn't
take it in April '80 when we visited him and he certainly couldn't this past
week.

Without disputing the pressure of the HST torrent, I've been reading
'The Mechanical Bride' by Marshall McLuhan which very exposes all of
the same things you list there, from magazine ads, in 1951 (WAY more
pissed-off than any of his other books, "those who shout loudest in the
chorus of 'accentuate the positive' are precisely those most involved
in the production of nihilistic dreams", etc, etc.). Whatever, point
is, there's always those, and as much you dug Hunter's particular
groove, he's not the first, the only, the funniest, the profoundest, or
the 'craziest' precursor to the SubGenius.

Isn't 'The Mechanical Bride' a great book?
I like it just for the collection of old ads, in addition
to the comments on each.
Some of my favorites are the "Bond Clothes" ad
(Panty-waist stuff burns me up!)
and the Lysol Douche ad
and the ad for the Buick convertible for under $1,000!!!

Thompson should have shot McLuhan first.
I have been reading the plays of Sophocles which don't expose Jack Shit,
and the newly republished Jimmy Olsen stories by the King of Comics,
which are THE Jack Shit. Kirby that is.

The correct second person pronoun is "thy", you ignorant savage.

Its in Portland, ya big dummy-head. However, the Ray Harryhausen museum
in Germany is a far more entertaining sight.

I am too medicated to track down the particulars again at the moment,
but there is indeed a wing that features many of his ORIGINAL,
fully-dressed-out armatures, used in the films proper, as well as quite
a few of his outstanding production drawings.
The remarkable quality of his sculpting was already a given, but when I
saw his detailed pencils, I really felt humbled. His talent is an
awesome thing to behold, but man oh man, the patience required to
implement it and make it breathe is a REALLY sublime quality you just
can't buy on a CD-ROM.

You should send Garry Trudeau a copy in hopes that the "Subgenius
Unsolicited Pamphlet Curse" works again.
It just seems like a pity to me that that tidy yuppy fuck is still
alive and Thompson dead. His Mickey Mouse version of Thompson was
undoubtedly the only interesting character he ever wrote.
Somebody should wrap all the Ralph Steadman drawings out of a copy of
Fear and Loathing around a fresh chicken heart and leave it on
Trudeau's doorstep.

Wasn't he already a card-carying SubG? I seem to recall seeing his name on a
list of prominent oddballs who were supposed to be, one way or another.
Several years ago, he got called up for jury duty in Aspen, and the case he
almost wound up on was a drunk-driving charge against John Denver. He was
let out due to his own reecent DDI activity, but it might have been
interesting...
