Hunter S. Thompson used to post at Lucianne.com

[theboss]

His screen name was Catalina. I vaguely remember that name when I used to post there before they banned me for being a liberal jerk. (I survived for a long time because the staff seems to have a soft-spot for well-spoken, funny liberal jerks).

This is too weird for words.

[thebigidea]

1. a guy that only used a Selectric?

and you know this how?

[theboss]

2. The staff stated it...Here's the link

http://www.lucianne.com/threads2.asp?artnum=199874

It's way too weird a thing to lie about.

[thebigidea]

3. considering that hag has spent decades lying...

... I'm guessing it was some libertarian-type right-winger pretending to be him.

dig up some of these posts and we should be able to tell immedeately, there isn't a person on this planet who writes like him.

[theboss]

4. I don't have access to old posts

But I definitely remember that name. It was definitely a leftie, aka a site pest.

I wouldn't put it past him to post weird ramblings to a message board in the middle of the night.

[thebigidea]

5. but it would be strange for a guy that didn't use computers

and how would the "staff" authenticate a troll's id?

[theboss]

6. I doubt he was still sending stuff over the Mojo wire in 2005; h

I mean, if you were writing online-only content for ESPN, wouldn't you have online-access?

[thebigidea]

7. Anita did the secretarial stuff, I think its discussed in Kingdom of Fear

either that or one of the Hey Rube columns

[thebigidea]

13. actually - I take that back, brain misfire

he did use computers, he growled at them early on (I dimly recall photos of shotgunned 80s pcs) but did use them eventually for editing... but still did the actual creative writing mostly on selectrics...

so if its true, damn - someone dig up some links, this should be hilarious!

8. Let's ask the source!

[skypilot]

9. Who is that?!?!

Is that Lucianne?

[Bluebear]

11. No but close enough

;)

[skypilot]

12. I'm sure that's what she looks like on the inside.

And if she has a portrait of herself hidden in the attic I'm sure that by now it bears a striking resemblance to that photo.

[oasis]

14. Lucianne wished she looked as good. (eom)

[TheDebbieDee]

10. That snapshot makes Nick Nolte look good in his mugshot!

[Berserker]

15. Here ya go

Congratulations -- and thank you!
This is all I could find

16. Oh Shit! I've had sex with Lucianne.

It was a Tijuana whorehouse gang bang ( right after the "Donkey Show") when I was in the service. I feel so unclean.

17. I don't believe you

and you've given me no reason to.

[theboss]

18. It's what the Lucianne.com staff says

Take it up with them if you think it's a lie.

I just don't see any reason for them to lie.

[Lex]

19. I personally wouldn't believe ANYthing Lucianne or

Lucianne.com or anyone affiliated with Lucianne had to say--any more than I'd believe anything George W. Bush or Dick Cheney said.

Rightwing nuts and the truth are often strangers.

[DS1]

20. I think the fact that it's the staff of lucianne.com is reason enough

for them to lie.
