Didn't he already go out with a bang???
... while he was still living!
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Ping.
I still don't get it, but happy trails.
I read his Hell Angels book in 6th grade.
It might take four flushes with one of those low-volume toilets...would that make Thompson a four-flushing leftist loser?
Sadly, I believe the extent of that blast may be the closest to heaven he ever gets.
To read about this is sad, in a way. I always wonder when people, who have lived lives with little or no acknowledgment or respect for God, devise plans that seem to be one last "in your face" to be carried out after their deaths. I wonder if their perspectives from their new vantage points in the after life wouldn't cause them to want to tell their friends not to carry out those plans because they aren't so clever or humorous, or fitting, after all.
I knew a guy who told his "old lady" to put a Bible in his casket at the cemetery before they buried him. She did. The Bible had been hollowed out and had a bottle of whiskey inside it. They had laughed together with their friends about it before he died. If they were laughing at the cemetery, I didn't see them. I thought it was very sad.

Thanks, bitt. Just now online after a few days off. Hunter Thompson's life was as sad, from a spiritual perspective, as it was offensive from a temporal one. Hope his grandson, who was in the next room when he committed suicide, is never tempted to emulate his grandfather in any way.
