"Relax...this won't hurt."
Hunter S. Thompson's last written words before pulling the trigger.

Six years ago today.

Rest in peace, Doc.

1. K&R
We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear — fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts, or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer. - Hunter S Thompson


RIP

5. Peace? When did the Gonzo Man ever seek peace?
I'm sure there is a corner of heaven for people like him. A place with good drugs and thrill-a-minute adventure.
