I'm sure he would join the current staff of The Woody Creeker which includes Bill Murray on the sports desk and minister of defense: attorney George Tobia. Yes the first edition magazine, a tribute to Gonzo Journalist Dr Hunter S Thompson is on the stands one year following his death by suicide at his home in Woody Creek Colorado. Woody Creek, described as a Beatnik-Cowboy Shangri-La ios also the home for presidential historian and Thompson biographer Douglas Brinkley, CBS newsman Ed Bradley, and Denver defense attorney Hal Haddon.
The magazine's table of contents lists an O'Rourke interview with Hunter Thompson, a story on the difficulty of controlling Thompson's peacocks, and a ditty on the community of Lenado - which the author notes is part of Woody Creek.
"So you can believe whatever you please about Lenado and Woody Creek and we will continue to go our own way," writes Gaylord Guenin. "As long as developers, dirt pimps, and the government believe we are a cantankerous lot and very difficult to deal with, our local mythology is doing its job."
One of Hunter's amusements was shooting propane bottles from his front door just to see the explosions.
That WOULD be fun to watch.
Yes it is and I'm sure Bernie would love it as well. It's unusually entertaining with certain drugs that enhance visual events. The exploding propane burns an exciting blue against a starry night in the rockies. So I'm told.
Bernie doesn't fart, so he tells me.
Nope, he doesn't do that either. He has Lola do it for him.
Can bernie come out to play?
deb kindly pointed me here the other day. We've just packed and moved an office and located a perfect little shop to lease, only a block from where we live, so we are here for a further year... an experiment in girly-stuff marketing.
When I was about ten, I tried to shoot down a little prop airplane with a .22 short (we were under the impression that a hated politican was in it) but I didn't get to pull the trigger because my older brother began beating on me before I could.
You'll enjoy this...

Well there he is, the gun totin,' gas explodin,' airplane downin' terrorist from Vancouver. Ya sure have ta watch them canuks; violent warmongers, all of 'em.
Loved the film clips, especially the first one. Will Farrel is better at Bush than Bush.
Bernie will be wonderful in a girlie shop. They (the girls) will be lined up for blocks. This is worth a trip to New York all by itself. Will you be wearing any of the jewelry, cutie pants?
