From The Onion this morning: Hunter S. Thompson Dies in Expected Way
Oh, wait, it's not actually a joke.
He's really dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
I mean, seriously, how's a writer like me ever going to get ahead in this world when people like Hunter are willing to do shit like that for attention?
Sheesh....
It's like being a sane artist. What's the point?
Sorry, not exactly a tombstone-quality memorial, but it's early and I'm running on sanity and a lack of coffee.
