Am I the only one who doesn't know or care who Hunter S. Thompson is/was?

No, but at least you're not feeling the need to get on here and declaim about what a shame it is that he died when you hadn't read any of his work, like I suspect a whole lotta people are doing.

I just explained to someone else who he was. Me, I've never been a fan exactly, but I certainly read his work. Even so, it would feel like tired, boring retreads if I posted about his death.

Yes, you are pretty much the only one.

Not unique as in a beautiful snowflake, but unique as in raised in a Skinner box.

I'd suggest you rectify this asap by purchasing The Great Shark Hunt (or, of course, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas).

um.. well...

if you dig Terry Gilliam movies, that'll help. But read the book instead.

*snork* I love that. Unique as in raised in a Skinner box. I must remember that.

That being said, I'd never heard of the guy either.
