Hunter S. Thompson
And the whole Bush family, from Texas, should be boiled in poisoned oil.
Hunter S. Thompson
At age 22 I set what I insist is an all-time record for distance hitchhiking in Bermuda shorts: 3,700 miles in three weeks.
Hunter S. Thompson
Words are such a poor medium when you really want someone to feel something.
