    I've never read any of his stories (seemed to be glorifying drug use from 10 yards away and that's not my bag) or much of him but I think you are either giving me way too much credit or dragging him down. I post shit that might make myself and 6 other people laugh and most others will think you farted in church. :(

    I sold a few jokes to some comedians, one that was on Late night but that's not my thing. No money in it so I'll tell my jokes to myself and maybe text corporate joe or hairgel some shit now and again. It's not about the masses but the BBS asses.

    I'd love to tell some stories, especially some Kocinski, KR Senior, Renfrow, Crevier (asshat), Russell and so many others but, I can't. Some of that shit will die with me (and for the better of their legacies) :crackup:

    California is beautiful. Awesome weather, mountains, beach, desert, lots of riding opportunities, etc.

    I was blown away by how negative the overall energy is out there. You have to wear a mask OUTSIDE for gods sake, there's signs everywhere threatening fines. Everyone gives everyone else the stink eye. I was drinking coffee at a table outside without my mask, you wouldn't believe the dirty looks. I felt like Walter Sobjack- "I'm enjoying my coffee!"

    Alot of the cool, normal people are leaving, (or they at least say they are leaving) which makes you wonder what the state is going to be like in a few years with a lot less income and less sanity.

    On the flip side, you are allowed to have bonfires, alcohol, and dogs on the beach. If I went to Ft. Lauderdale beach with a beer and my dog and lit a fire, I'd be in jail. WTF?

    The drugs and alcohol just set the tone for his writing. Thompson started out as a sports writer for Stars and Stripes when he was in the military. I think this caused him to write about politics as more of a spectator sport. The only difference between you and him was the drugs and Jan Wenner was stupid enough to put him on the Rolling Stone staff, giving him national exposure. Thompson's expense account was crippling, I heard.
    Something I noted back in the day was that a bunch of aspiring writers were imitating his style. It's like guitar licks. Eddie Van Halen's style was truly innovative, but when Sammy Hagar was playing some of the same licks on stage next to him, it was like, "Meh." because everyone knew who originated the style.
    There was somebody at Loudon who took on the job of LRRS correspondent to RW. He sent in one dispatch about an event that was held in the rain. He got carried away in the prose, turning on his inner HST. I saw him at
    the next event and he was looking a bit dejected. He explained that JU was displeased with his last article and wasn't bashful about saying so. I replied that I didn't blame JU at all, he wasn't looking for rants from a Hunter Thompson wannabee. "And you actually had the balls to insert the phrase 'fear and loathing' in that mess? I'm surprised he didn't edit the shit out of it!"
    Welcome to the club. I am constantly told I should write a book about my experiences with LRRS. Won't happen.

    Where does one even begin with that line of work? You were going to committee gloves and approaching comedians to offer jokes for sale? How much does that pay?

    Ever sold a joke to Kenny Bania? :D

    One of those met someone at a party who writes for X, Y and Z and was getting into writing for some production company. Paid something like $30 for the joke, $100 for the one that some hack used on some late night tv show. Fun for about a minute and then it wasn't. :D

    I'd love to write for Bania. :D "Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round. The jar is round. They should call it Roundtine!"

    Toni is gonna race middle weight? Awesome. I’m guessing this new aprilia 660 is a middle weight triple?

    I just cannot see Toni riding in the twins class. These guys are full of shit. Im sure he is going to be on a new bike. Ducati or Kawasaki Superbike.
