In Honor of the Late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, the Bar is now open

[MrScorpio]

EVERYTHING is on the house

Including the really good shit that I keep in the back room.

[enigmatic]

1. I'll take some moonshine, please.

God, this is going to be a long night.

[MrScorpio]

4. Moonshine

[Erika]

5. Agreed

Thompson chose to make a statement with his death. We need to listen and act on his statement. Of course, Bushies are still trying to find out who the guy was.

[LibertyorDeath]

2. Pour me a double Vodka

"These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill "gooks". They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are racists and hate mongers among us-they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them." Hunter S. Thompson :toast:

[MrScorpio]

7. Have a drink with Generral Kalashnakov himself

[LibertyorDeath]

38. That's a good start

:)

[yvr girl]

3. It seems like a scotch night to me

Something that burns a little.

[MrScorpio]

9. Take your pick and share the bottles with your buds

[yvr girl]

15. To words that spur you to action

[trof]

127. It's ALWAYS a Scotch night here.

Like right now!

[lenidog]

6. Two beers bartender

We are drinking to the memory of a great man

[MrScorpio]

10. Two good beers

[Skittles]

8. spent many a pleasurable hour reading him in Rolling Stone

a toast to Hunter Stockton

[MrScorpio]

12. Here here

[enigmatic]

18. A toast to Hunter, and alot of howling at the moon tonight.. m/m

[mike_c]

11. morphine and an ether soaked rag in a zip-lock please....

The blotter is just beginning to peak. RIP HST.

[MrScorpio]

23. Out of zip locks

But here's the morphine

And the ether


Enjoy

[mike_c]

27. didn't think you'd come through for me, my brother....

Salud!

[Kire]

13. As your attorney, I advise you to give me a hit out of the little brown...

...flask in my shaving kit.

[MrScorpio]

25. No prob

[sasquatch]

14. I want a shot of Moonshine, chased by a shot of Jack Daniels, with

a Molson XXX caboose.

[MrScorpio]

30. All lined up for you

[burrowowl]

16. Remy Martin X.O.

Is there life before death?

[MrScorpio]

32. I gotz your afterlife right here

[burrowowl]

39. Oh wow!

At this point it will be the after life.
Who knows what pain the man was going through and from what, but his legacy will live (hopefully) when America is no longer Fascist/Corporatist.
A Scorpio and Day of the Dead (Nov.2)

[Bouncy Ball]

17. Apparently I missed something....

[sasquatch]

20. HST just killed himself

:cry:
And we're getting shitfaced to help cope with it.
:beer:

[Bouncy Ball]

24. Well, I guess it's a good thing I have no idea who that is.

It's sad nonetheless, especially if it makes my fellow DUers sad.

[sasquatch]

28. Hunter S. Thompson is one of the greatest writers of the counter culture

You must read some of his essays or books.

[Spider Jerusalem]

19. A quart of Wild Turkey.

And a salt shaker half-full of cocaine.

[sasquatch]

22. Fuck "Wild Turkey" why don't you just ask for paint thinner

Sure as hell taste better.

[Spider Jerusalem]

29. I see you do not appreciate the glory of fine Kentucky bourbon.

Philistine. Heh.

And Hunter drank Wild Turkey, so...it's appropriate. Not my favourite bourbon, but then my grandfather drank something called "Old Yellowstone" that I don't care for, either. I STILL bought a fifth of the stuff, took it to his grave, had a drink, poured one out on the ground and left the bottle.

[sasquatch]

43. I LOVE Jack Daniels and Jim Beam but Wild Turkey is rough stuff

But if Hunter drank it I guess it's OK.

[Elidor]

31. There goes my faint suspicion that YOU were HST all along

Oh, well. You'll do for now.

[Spider Jerusalem]

33. That's probably the best compliment I've ever gotten.

[MrScorpio]

35. At your service

[xmas74]

73. I just heard...

I am stuck here at work all night. Otherwise, I would gladly join you in the Wild Turkey.
Here's to Hunter!:toast:

[CubsFan1982]

21. Got any Scotch?

I'll have two, my dear sir!

[MrScorpio]

37. Try some of this

[praxiz]

103. Aye, second that. (nt)

[Kire]

26. WHY ISN'T WHITE RABBIT ON THE JUKEBOX YET?

Oh, there it is.

[Elidor]

34. I'll have some adrenochrome

And coming up, gotta play a round of Shotgun Golf!

[MrScorpio]

40. Gimme a sec, I need to whip up a fresh batch

Anything else you'd like while you wait?

[Elidor]

47. Pretty good tarbender, you are! n/t

[underseasurveyor]

36. Bartender, a round of poppers for everybody to start with,

and maybe a side of your finest chocolate mescaline, perhaps LSD for those that prefer a bit more intensity with their experience :crazy: And.....
Hey People?
Who's good at rolling :smoke:

And when Grace Slick hits her crescendo while singing White Rabbit, throw the radio into a tub full of water. With or without a fucked up person in the tub. Your call:thumbsup:

Oh and a glass of water with a squeeze of lemon for me please. I'm the DD tonight so I'll just sit back and watch and smile a little in between the :cry:

[MrScorpio]

45. Big order, no prob

[underseasurveyor]

54. Yeah a big order for you and me perhaps

Probably kill us for sure (I know it would me x( ) but for Hunter, that was just barely getting started.

What a Great Bartender you are. Thanks :toast:

[underseasurveyor]

41. We need a life sized mannequin of nixon in here

And a dog that will go instantly for his crotch upon hearing the name,
'NIXON' gggrrrrrrr

[MrScorpio]

83. OOps. I almost forgot the dog for that freeptard

Only the best for those bastards

[BrklynLiberal]

42. Woweee.. That is one though thread to get thru and stay straight!!!

But one must do what one must do to honor HST.

[Kire]

44. Holy Jesus.

What are these goddamn animals?

[MrScorpio]

[Elidor]

64. I believe I'll stay up all night and drink

I was headed to bed sober when it happened. Fuck.

Fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

[MrScorpio]

66. Start with this

[VolcanoJen]

65. Bourbon, please.

Beam or Turkey will do.

[MrScorpio]

67. Let's go with your first choice

[velvet]

This is so sad. I'll take a toke or three on some Dorrigo buds thanks mate, with a Glenfiddich chaser, and think back to a happy afternoon long long ago, prone stoned nekkid reading out loud from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas while my gentleman friend played with my toes.

Vale, gonzo godfather.

[MrScorpio]

Thank you, man.

[slay]

My favorite writer. Truly the best. I'm still in shock. He was a true inspiration.

[enigmatic]

80. I'll have another glass of moonshine and a blowtorch, please.

I feel a bad moon rising...

[MrScorpio]

81. Moonshine and some fire

[Celeborn Skywalker]

84. Margarita, please

A real one with good tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice. None of that margarita mix stuff. Thanks!

[MrScorpio]

87. Only the good stuff for you

[tavalon]

85. As a person who couldn't ever handle the hard stuff

and as a person who can't drink beer, I'll raise my froo-froo wine glass to Hunter. May the peace that eluded you in this world come to you abundantly in the next world, Hunter.

You were far better than most of the rest of us, dude. The Bush Cartel should not have outlived you.

[MrScorpio]

89. Drink up

[Eyeball Kid]

[alittlelark]

94. dupy-delete

[alittlelark]

95. ''bar mat suprise' is the stuff you spilled while pouring drinks

Lift mat, and pour into a glass... it has EVERYTHING in it. Sometimes you have the crowd bid for it (into the tip jar!!) Other times you pay someone to drink it (especially if peppermint schnapps is in the mix).

[enigmatic]

92. Holy Christ, the 'shine has made me go blind!

Here's an extra 10 spot for your trouble, my barkeep!

[MrScorpio]

Dr. Gonzo would have wanted it that way

[enigmatic]

99. Thank you, my friend...

Do you have a seeing-eye dog that I can use to lead me to the restroom?

[Seabiscuit]

96. OK, let's see a bottle of "Crystal". First you have to know what it is.

Then you have to know the label. Then you have to explore versions of the label.

A stumper for the average drinker.

And a total loss on the "Annie Greensprings/Coors" types.

[soulcore]

98. it's "fucking crystal" (n/t)

[MrScorpio]

100. How about this?

[underseasurveyor]

104. ((People*whistle*Hey)) May I please have your attention??????????

Whew Thanks Everyone :hi:

I know that a great many of us are devastated by the unexpected death of a most wonderful man, a brilliant man, a gifted writer and an American in the truest sense of the word. Already we miss Hunter Thompson deeply, even though it's hasn't fully sunk in yet and it's hard to fathom he's left the building. Personally I have admired and loved Hunter's work and wit for 30 years. To this day no other book has made me laugh as hard and as long as I did the first time I read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas when I was about 15 or so. That was the first book of his I ever read and just like the details of a first love that you will never forget, that book was my first experience with Hunter S. Thompson. The movie was ok but no movie could ever compare to reading his work, be it a book or an article. No movie, no actor could come close to fully capturing that simple yet highly complex essence that is none other than Hunter S. Thompson. He must be read.

I'm going to grab my copy of The Great Shark Hunt and curl up with it when I finally go to bed. No question, I am gonna miss that man, but he will always have the ability to touch me in a variety of ways for years to come (?Will Pitt are you hearing this?). To make me smile, to make me think, and to remember no matter where you are in life, no matter what it is you're doing, live life to the max and fucking have fun while you are fucking with them. He was the finest of the fine and the epitome of what it means to be the best kind of troublemaker there is. For the love of humanity and freedom and truth, Thanks Hunter :toast:

AND

To MrScorpio our gracious and most attentive bar thread host tonight, I want to Thank You for being here for us this evening, er uh, and this morning too. And I'd like to acknowledge your amazing skill and ability to cater and provide (and darn fast too) everything that was requested. Including a likeness of r.m.nixon "sic em good dog" just so HST's dog could attack his crotch one more time. It's sometimes hard to tell who hated nixon more, Thompson or his dog. heh

Damn that's one helluva "back room" ya got there;-) Um pssst you wouldn't happen to be needing a hard working, reliable cocktail waitress now would ya :-)

Remember to tip your bartender he did a damn fine job. Damn fine!

Goodnight all :boring:

[NJCher]

112. here, here

I second that and tip my glass to our most excellent host, Mr. Scorpio.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hunter. The poster who said "he can never be replaced, ever" said it all.



Cher

on edit, a quote from the dearly departed:

"I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone ... but they've always worked for me."

[EstimatedProphet]

122. You know my fave-Bombay Sapphire martini-excruciatingly dry

shaken, not stirred

[roguevalley]

123. Got this quote at Bartcop:

I adored Hunter S. Thompson. Found a quote of his that perfectly summed up my experiences in broadcasting:
"The TV business is a cruel & shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves & pimps run free, & good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."

[Orsino]

124. On the advice of my attorney...

...I can accept free drinks. You can just stop turning into a lizard RIGHT NOW, though, mister.

[Shopaholic]

125. Since I missed the party last night--

a bump for a fine thread in the true spirit of Doctor T--he would have loved the hell out of the DU party for him.

And uh--pass the ether please. I wanna be sedated. :7

[Sugar Smack]

126. Saint Barkeep! How many fingers ARE you holding up?

Looks like twenty. I'll have the contents of your kit-bag, a box of tissues, a glass of wine (Shiraz, please) to mellow me out so I don't keep crying and scare the hitch-hikers. May I also have a little toke? My ashtray's getting full but I don't care. You're the best.

RIP, HST. You changed us and made us better people. I'll always love you.

[Padraig18]

128. A fifth of Jameson's, two joints and some microdot, please.

And keep it coming, no matter what the wolverines say.

:smoke:
