"Football Season Is Over."


that boring piece of drively drek rolling stone is going to publish hunter s. thompson's final written words:

"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun — for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax — This won't hurt."

Eloquent to the last! Hunter's words make me sad, but I'm glad you got the jump on Rolling Stone in publishing them.

that note made me really sad, too. and i guess it is only fitting that rolling stone" would publish it, as he wrote a lot for them over the years, but i just cannot stand that magazine. ick. i liked it when i was in middle school a whole lot, but then that tells you a bit about their demographic, eh?

anyway, hunter. he lived a pretty long life, full of adventure...67 is not an unreasonable age to say "F this, i'm DONE." especially if he was in declining health. *sigh* i just loved that guy.
