Whoa he killed himself. I wonder if he had health problems.

Fucking great writer.

Holy shit. That's terrible news.

He waited too long to leave a good looking corpse.
I wonder how many new book rejects it took to push him over the edge?

His last book, Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and The Downward Spiral of Dumbness was published last year.

I have an old early edition of his Hell's Angels book.

He was pretty Gonzo

Glancing over to the right for a moment there on the page I thought this was his mug:

after writing fear and loathing... its not really a shock that he might be capable of such a thing.

Goddamnit, that sucks.

Well that really sucks, but if anyone kills themselves is a fucking pussy.

Taking the easy way out isn't the way to go. You have to stick it out just like the rest of us.

I had to kill him.
He wouldnt write me the sequel to Fear and Loathing staring Yahoo Serious and a computer generated Jim Varney. And a talking toilet.

Sorry, but I have no sympothy for anyone that kills themselves.

Don't care if you don't like my point of view either.

I agree, suicides are assholes.
But if it was to stop a painful lingering death, they are only half assholes.

Dunno.

Post by **denzii** » Mon Feb 21, 2005 1:03 pm

Was the guy sick?

I don't know what drives ppl to suicide. When they carry it out life to them must seem pretty dismal.

I say buck it up and take it like a man!

ppl kill themselves over the dumbest things, like this guy here in SLC killed himself because his wife wanted a divorce. wtf?

Post by **Freakaloin** » Mon Feb 21, 2005 2:04 pm
