[kj] OT Hunter S. thompson Dead

[Neil Perry]

Well, I just meant as in "I'm going to top myself
while I'm (relatively) at the top of my game" rather
than "I'm going to top myself because I'm so depressed
and life is shit". Not that I ever met the guy, but
from his writing Hunter S always seemed to have a
certain lust for life! Seems strange he should lose
that lust so suddenly. Sad indeed.
