SDShad, thanks for the quotes. I actually remember them, though maybe I shouldn't admit it. Another of my favorites:
"I'd never recommend sex, drugs, alcohol and insanity to anyone, but it's always worked for me".
Or something like that. I don't have a copy of F&L in LV to refer to, so it's not really an exact quote.

I'd also like to put in a plug for Ralph Steadman, the artist who drew all those outrageous illustrations for Hunter S. Thompson's books. A very fine artist! I have a book of his work, including the Thompson works and some other stuff.

Guest, reading Thompson's works will be a literary and visual treat for you, should you decide to do so. The collaboration is most effective! Thanks, BlueJay
