The Doctor is out. He said it about Oscar Acosta, but it could be HST's own epitath: "He was one of God's own prototypes - a high-powered mutant of some kind who was never even considered for mass production. He was too weird to live and too rare to die." God's mercy on (the) swine. No doubt he's somewhere talking football with Richard Nixon. I hope they have enough beer and ether.

No doubt he's somewhere talking football > with Richard Nixon. I hope they have enough beer and ether. Dr. Thompson and President Nixon already talked football, on this side of life. But I suspect Dan knew that. Andy "Thompson, if he is to be believed, has sampled the entire rainbow of legal and illegal drugs in heroic efforts to feel better than he does. As for the truth about his health: I have asked around about it. I am told that he appears to be strong and rosy, and steadily sane. But we will be doing what he wants us to do, I think, if we consider his exterior a sort of Dorian Gray facade. Inwardly, he is being eaten alive by tinhorn politicians. The disease is fatal. There is no known cure. The most we can do for the poor devil, it seems to me, is to name his disease in his honor. From this moment on, let all those who feel that Americans can be as easily led to beauty as to ugliness, to truth as to public relations, to joy as to bitterness, be said to be suffering from Hunter Thompson's disease. I don't have it this morning. It comes and goes. This morning I don't have Hunter Thompson's disease." - --Kurt Vonnegut Jr., from a review of Hunter S.

Kuklapolitan Christmas. Kukla Fran & Ollie. Remember them? Great kids song. Marshmellow World, Darlene Love. Classic Brill Building, and will put you in afestive mood. Jolly old St Nicholas NBRQ Funny! Xmas Rhapsody Pledge Drive. A parody of the Queen song. Excelent. Carol of The Bartenders Bob Rivers One of the best anti drunk driving PSA's I've ever heard.
