The Doctors are out.
 

Kalungkutan! And now I read that Dr. Gene Scott is dead. The two Doctors were heroes of mine back in the heady days of college. I wanted to write like Hunter (I was fired from my college editor position after one issue! Hehe) and I wanted to preach like Dr. Gene. I remember taking a trip to see his compound back in the late '80s. His church was a bizarre place! Barbed wire and attack dogs protected a small building, several yellow buses and lots of discarded crap. The place looked like an army base, albeit one that had been taken over by drifters and ne'er-do-wells. My friend, Paula and I wisely re-considered our plan to sneak in and take a look around. Though, as we turned to leave we heard the unmistakable bellow of Dr. Gene. He was screaming at somebody within the compound. We don't know who or why, but we both laughed. Hearing the great man made the diversion of the highway worth our time. As for Hunter S. Thompson, he opted to stay in the car.

Wow! Dr. Gene Scott died?

I remember thinking he was such a genius with some of his stuff that he just went totally insane. He'd go back and forth with various translations and versions of the bibles to find meaning. Wild stuff. Best part are the videos he plays between shows of hot girls riding around his compound on bicycles. It's hot.

Damn... I don't check out my pc for a coupla days and now my beloved Hunter is gone. The significant other told me tonight "hey, heard about Hunter??" I said wha.. no, he better not be dead...no, he's not dead is he??!! and I gasped in horror... Damn....

Hunter reminds me of good times with old freinds. My old friend turned me on to him becasue he felt I read too much Vonnegut..("oh.... in that Vonnegut stage of life" he used to call it....)

Damn.

It’s interesting how these suicidal genius types put that final period on their lives. It isn't the first by far and I'm sure it's not the last. You can chalk it up to the possibility that they had enough guts to be able to write that last sentence as they wanted or maybe they truly were not suicidal geniuses but ironicly insane.

:confused: Is there such a thing?

Leave it to Hunter to provide us with one last explosion: Hunter's Big Bang .

I'm still sad he's gone, but I'm smiling at this news. He was so cool. :snap::cheers:

Anyone see 'Doonesbury' today? Trudeau addresses Thompson's death.
:)

Dredging this back up...Johnny Depp has offered to cover the cost to erect the canon out of which Thompson's remains will be shot.

I think that's very cool.

Very nice. Johnny is one cool cat. :cool:
