Background:
I was reading
this article on Cracked, and read that Spider Jerusalem of the graphic novels (comics)
Transmetropolitan was based on Hunter S. Thompson. I know very little about the man, so I was surprised. (P.S. I love Transmet so much. You should read it. It's a little intense, but you'll get over it with love and time.)
Ryan's reaction:
me: i didn't know Spider Jerusalem was based off Hunter S Thompson
David: Fuck yeah he was
lol
Like 90%
me: oh I've never seen or read Fear & Loathing
now i want to
lol
David: Hunter S Thompson.
Shot himself.
me: what
David: And everyone said.
"well"
"He told us all he would when he decided he was done"
Nobody got fucked up.
me: O.O
David: They just said - yup.
He had his ashes FIRED FROM A FUCKING CANNON
me: LOL
David: THAT LOOKED LIKE A FIST WITH TWO THUMBS
NOTHING CAN DEFEAT THIS MAN
Right about there, I fucking LOST it. The mental image....
