Hunter S. Thompson is an old whore

It's ridiculously late in the game and I have a 10 a.m. presentation tomorrow morning. It's about Hunter S. Thompson, but with less than 12 hours to go I've yet to really nail down the focus. Oh well, I am enjoying the ride thus far. The man is often brilliant, despite his arrogance and neurosis. I like him. And reading The Great Shark Hunt has been a ride. The man has some lines that leave me speechless — or reeling with laughter. This is my favourite so far:

"I've always considered writing the most hateful kind of work. I suspect it's a bit like fucking, which is only fun for amateurs. Old whores don't do much giggling."
