1. Hunter Thompson said something similar
i think his quote included violence as well but i think that was more to scare off those who didn't like him. heheh.

All this aquisition of "stuff" and being a good capitalist/consumer is not for me. I do enjoy sex, drugs, and rock & roll though. :evilgrin:

2. I believe the quote is:
"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."

3. That's the one
He was a true hero of mine.

Judging by your profile pic you've prolly read this already but if not:

"Fear and Loathing in Elko" is a short story by Hunter S. Thompson
that appeared in Rolling Stone #622, January 1992. In this sad screed,
our favorite gonzo journalist describes an alleged encounter with
Justice Clarence Thomas, prior to his nomination and appointment to
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Shortly before this story's publication,
Thompson was tried and acquitted on charges of sexual harassment
and assault. He referred to his arrest as a "lifestyle bust." Readers
can draw their own conclusions regarding the moral of this tale.

Sheep Country...Sexual Harassment Then and Now...A Nasty Christmas

Fear and Loathing in Elko

by Hunter S. Thompson

from Rolling Stone #622, January 23, 1992

Memo From the National Affairs Desk: Sexual Harassment Then
and Now..The Ghost of Long Dong Thomas...The Road Full of Forks

Dear Jann,

God damn, I wish you were here to enjoy this beautiful weather with
me. It is autumn, as you know, and things are beginning to die. It is
so wonderful to be out in the crisp fall air, with the leaves turning
gold and the grass turning brown, and the warmth going out of the
sunlight and big hot fires in the fireplace while Buddy rakes the
lawn. We see a lot of bombs on TV because we watch it a lot more, now
that the days get shorter and shorter, and darkness comes so soon, and
all the flowers die from freezing.
