Hunter S. Thompsons Epic Breakfast and the $2 Million Cocaine Check

Think your hardcore…ever pay for your cocaine with a $2 million dollar check (HUH!)

Hunter S. Thompson…the American journalist and author who wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971) and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72, had the most incredible, mind blowing, epic breakfast that surly would have killed you or I in less than 78 minutes.

 I like to eat breakfast alone, and almost never before noon … The food factor should always be massive: four Bloody Marys, two grapefruits, a pot of coffee, Rangoon crêpes, a half-pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned-beef hash with diced chilies, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, a chopped lemon for random seasoning, and something like a slice of key lime pie, two margaritas and six lines of the best cocaine for dessert.

Other requirements included multiple newspapers, a notebook (“for planning the next 24 hours”), good music (“at least one source”), being outdoors, and obviously, being naked.

    Great find! Thompson influenced the past few generations with his invention of Gonzo Journalism. His work and antics will live on to influence even more generations to come. I paid tribute to Hunter S Thompson and his work with my portrait and article on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-mem
