In Case Anyone is Wondering What To Get A Loved One for Christmas and Why...


It is all well and good for children and acid freaks to still believe in
Santa Claus— but it is still a profoundly morbid day for us working
professionals. It is unsettling to know that one out of every twenty people you
meet on Xmas will be dead this time next year....Some people can accept this,
and some can't. That is why God made whiskey, and also why Wild Turkey comes in
$300 shaped canisters during most of the Christmas season."
"Fear and Loathing in Elko" Rolling Stone (1992-01-23)

John, I can’t say I haven’t been here but… the point of this scene is assisted suicide. The point is to throw a tape player, plugged into the wall, into the tub when “White Rabbit” peaks.

Who doesn’t love that tune? What a perfect way to go.

It’s a scene from the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. A must see for families of all ages. OK, that is a lie. But it is a good movie for adults. Of you may hate it.

Bright point other than written by HST = directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python fame. Other excellent films he’s directed include 12 Monkey’s and Brazil.

Everyone must see Brazil at least once before they die just to see Robert De Niro.

John,
Ted is a habitual liar and a junkie. Don;t ever turn your back on him. You can trust the man, but you can't trust the drugs.
