Hunter S. Thompson

[Semiologist]

I didn't know until just lately that Hunter was another former FSU student.
I'm gonna be adding him to my mental Mount Rushmore for FSU alum.

Fear and loathing...

Guess I didn't know that either, but I admit, I am not rabid on that topic.

Are you sure he's an alum?

Are you sure he's an alum?

Wiki biography said he went to night classes while in the AF at Elgin AFB.

I don’t think he graduated from FSU.

Proud Highway is an awesome collection of his letters from his earlier years, including his time at Eglin. Even if one is not a HST fan the book is hilarious. He was such an incredible ass it’s hard not to be entertained.

He just missed Jim Morrison.

“The Edge...There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others-the living-are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later. But the edge is still Out there.” - HST - Hell's Angels

It's easy to focus on the 'Fear & Loathing' aspect of his personality, but he was an eloquent writer when he wanted to be.
