Happy Birthday, Hunter S. Thompson!

Today is 18th July, which Hunter S. Thompson's birthday.

I hope people all around the world are filling their glasses, dropping their tabs of acid, and lighting their fat joints in a shared memory of one of the finest writers of the 20th Century!

More than that, we should all take a scathing look at the world around us and trying to write some searing indictments of the world that is run by fat, crooked swine. Don't let the bastards get away with this!

If you're in a more scholarly mood, I've posted an article about Hunter S. Thompson's relationship to the Beat Generation on the Beatdom website. Read it here: http://www.beatdom.com/hst__the_beats.htm

Anyway, enjoy the day. It's what he would have wanted you to do.

Mahalo,

David

Open bar at a wedding today I will be sure to get a little sloppy and pour one out for him. Actually I bet he would think that is wasting. Extra shot it is.
