The "adventure" one, I like. Most, I perhaps don't get the cultural references, but they're not bad.

I liked Virtue ... heh! Also the one about truth

The adventure one tops 'em all, but any poster with Hunter S. shoving a magnum at you ain't all bad no how, neithuh.

Those are great. I like the one about getting paid if you're going to be crazy.

Heh.

I read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas during a flight layover in Atlanta when I was 18.

I just wonder what the man could have done if he'd been straight and sober (and properly medicated???)

Maybe not famous, but I bet he'd still be alive.

"My concept of death for a long time was to come down that mountain road at 120 and just keep going straight right there, burst out through the barrier and hang out above all that . . . and there I'd be, sitting in the front seat, stark naked, with a case of whiskey next to me and a case of dynamite in the trunk . . . honking the horn, and the lights on, and just sit there in space for an instant, a human bomb, and fall down into that mess of steel mills. It'd be a tremendous goddam explosion. No pain. No one would get hurt. I'm pretty sure, unless they've changed the highway, that launching place is still there. As soon as I get home, I ought to take the drive just to check it out."
