Saw this over at BoingBoing and found it amusing.

Cocaine's a helluva drug!

 

[Clydefrog]

he's not doing much nowadays though

 

[Andrew.]

I can't believe he ordered all of that food. Food was the last thing on my mind whenever I was coked up. The weed to counter, or even out the effects of the coke wouldn't really make me hungry either.

 

[Rentahamster]

4:15 to 5:05 is hilarious.

 

[jon bones]

yeah all that food went to waste

Man that is way too much food.

Too many carbs, man.

 

[weekend_warrior]

He really needs to curb his addiction, that much coffee can't be good for you.

 

[Pro from Dover]

Bean fritter is so bad for you...

 

[Syrinx]

So he only wrote for five minutes a day at that point?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

He's dead.

 

[RiccochetJ]

But what an intense 5 minutes!

 

[Auron_Kale]

I think from 12:05 - 6am, he had all that was listed while writing.

Or...that was the best five minutes ever to crank out 20 pgs of whatever.

 

[Always-honest]

Suuuuuuure....

What the hell do you write when you've got coke, pot, and a garden of booze inside of you?

 

[MiniBossBattle]

What is a bean fritter?

 

[Auron_Kale]

Who knows, but apparently he's managed to write a few things while he was alive.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Slang for cocaine.

Have you ever read one of his novels?

 

[ssowinski]

Probably wrote for 6 hours until it was hot tub time.

 

[Bombadil]

No wonder he killed himself. He must have contracted some kind of serious medical condition following all those years of unhealthy behavior.

 

[smokeymicpot]

:lol sick fuck he was.

When he was on Conan years ago it was pretty awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNEImAIM4L4

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

No wonder he killed himself. He must have contracted some kind of serious medical condition following all those years of unhealthy behavior.

His suicide note:

No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun – for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax – This won’t hurt.

RIP to a man who really liked changing his consciousness

 

[Syrinx]

Have you ever read one of his novels?

I've read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I guess I can see how being that fucked up can lead one to write that book. I guess it's an accomplishment that he could even write sensibly with all that inside of him, assuming that he wrote that on the routine laid out in the article.

[I'M FINISHED!]

Addicted to casual drug use.

 

[fierrotlepou]

He's my favorite dead human being. If you find yourself intrigued by this genius, you should watch Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. It's narrated by Johnny Depp (who was one of his best friends)

 

[7aged]

Not enough grapefruit to be real

 

[Auron_Kale]

Still love that book, totally hilarious. I still need to check out his other stuff, but man, it was surreal reading that in high school.

 

[blame space]

"...He told me 25 years ago that he would feel real trapped if he didn't know that he could commit suicide at any moment." i think i can strongly identify with this.

 

[gryz]

ask every writer/artist ever.

 

[speculawyer]

Lightweight

 

[dorn.]

This was on reddit a few days ago and it was determined to be pretty much bullshit. He was a freak of nature according to his doctor(no liver damage after decades of severe alcohol abuse) but not even he could have handled this.

 

[Perspicacity]

Nothing but respect for a man who knows the joys of fettuccine alfredo in a hot tub.

 

[Broder Salsa]

The day of a champion.

Best sport journalism ever written.

 

[Yaboosh]

"...He told me 25 years ago that he would feel real trapped if he didn't know that he could commit suicide at any moment." i think i can strongly identify with this.

Lots of people would like to be able to identify with things Thompson said or wrote.

 

[blame space]

would like to, or can?

 

[Merino]

That book, and film, changed me. There´s nothing like it.

 

[Merino]

 

[fierrotlepou]

Wha what? I need this.

 

[Andrew.]

That suicide note is something else. I would post it on my FB page but I wouldn't want any of my non plastic social network conducive friends to think I was about to off myself.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Some of the best beer around, and I'm not just saying that because they're a local brewery and use Steadman's art.

Hell of a man we had.

 

[zerotol]

I've only found two 6 packs of the Gonzo Porter in the past five years or so.

 

[Merino]

Wha what? I need this.

Very good beer brewed by Hunter's neighbour. Art on all bottles is by Ralph Steadman It's pretty widely available at better stores.
I especially like their Raging Bitch belgium style IPA.
