Heres a great Raoul Duke / Hunter S. Thompson characterization i found on Google images earlier tonight. I thought you might all enjoy it, i actually set it as my desktop. I think i will begin posting several of these images a day, just to get the Duke theme rocking.
As rapper Snoop Dogg had his civil rights violated with a concurrent search warrant dating back to his previous arrest this year for possession of marijuana & a collapsible baton that was to be used for a movie prop. Visitors and even Jay Leno himself were held from leaving the studio parking areas as police gave an unreasonably long search to Snoop Dogg’s car.
Whats so suprising about all of this you say? Not only was snoop’s car searched, but several other people residing in the state of California who merely “associated” with snoop, had their homes & vehicles searched without probable cause. Leading me to believe Arnold and the gang are merely facist nazi’s at heart. But these guys have made one mistake, they’ve gone after a rich black man this time. And we all know how rich black men fair in the California judicial system.
Hunter S. Thompson would be rolling over in his grave at this news (laughing no doubt).
Free Snoop, & Free America from the chains of oppression!

I find far too many sites on the internet today, with shady information about Hunter S. Thompson, and what he was all about. In fact many people on the net refer to Raoul Duke as Duke Raoul, which i find quite amusing. An entire generation growing up only knowing the man behind fear & loathing in las vegas. I fear too many even associate Johnny Depp with his masterpiece. Although played magnificently by Depp, it really takes away from a history of gonzo journalism. Too many people associate smoking a joint, with gonzo journalism. It in fact has lost its heart in American literature, polluted with tails of ether soaked rags.
People should see Thompson for his greatest accomplishment. His ability to function within the walls of justice, as a complete & total negative to all things that stood for social conformity. Notice i say Social conformity, because he understood the laws of physics perfectly fine & never questioned them.
I really think thats the point lost about Hunter S. Thompson & his alter ego Raoul Duke. It forever transformed the publics conception finally of what was possible at the very outer shell of our psyche . Because in the end, we’re all just beasts, with curiosity, and selfish yet primal objectives, and he was just the one able to describe it vividly in words. Thus creating gonzo.
To quote Dr. Johnson
“The man who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man.”

So tonight i figured I’d start out the evening with 2 of my favorite things. Young boobs and weed. But first, lets start out with the freshly cured african haze shot.
And now for some sweet teen titties, for all the titty lovers out there. A fresh young teen, ya know what i mean?
I’ll be back later tonight with some more fucked up shit for all you gonzo fans.
So i can’t sleep, its pretty pathetic really, i should just go run a mile & then pass out. But the thought keeps crossing my mind, what if i had a pocket full of drugs?
I could sure go for an oxycontin 20mg right about now.
The initial rush like a warm front moving in off the gulf stream, then running into a cold air system right in the center of my opioid receptor region. And then 45 minutes later, without warning “BOOM” dopamine flows freely, you’re lost in a steady flood of absolute joy. Everything becomes significant, all your old football injuries disappear as if you’ve amazingly traveled back in time in a flash of brilliant warm itchy white light.
All is right with the world, your jackass boss seems almost comical, the bill your behind on becomes a joke. Yes hillbilly heroin indeed, if Jed Clampet had this back in his day, it may well have been called The Beverly Nose Itches.
But alas there would be no oxycontin, nor vicodin, nor even a single lowly Tylenol 3 tonight, just a set of painful legs & some weed no doubt hustled over the canadian border patrol, that quite honestly wasn’t manicured, flushed or cured properly.
Until Tomorrow,
Raoul Duke
I decided to launch raoulduke.org tonight after a few joints & some hosting tweaks. Apparently it’s asking too much to have a blank default index.html from the hosting company, so i was sandbagged into thinking the name server was inappropriately pointing to a corporate 404 error.
I had spent an hour on live support before the clearly foreign technical adviser figured this out for me. “Sir please delete the default index.html & it should work fine” Thank you sir, for spending an hour of my time to figure that out Mr. foreign guy, I’ll be sure to send praise for your hard work & diligence to your boss first thing in the morning!
It’s times like this that make me proud to be an American. Sure all of our customer service gets outsourced overseas now and sure it makes an average tech support ticket a full dental surgery. But you know what, at the end of the day, when i goto the strip club, and the waitress has my cold Heineken waiting for me, and the dj had a kid rock song on for me, it reminds me just how nice good customer service is here in the good old u.s of a. You’ll never be able to outsource our strippers, dj’s & restaurant managers you dirty bastards, so we’ll always have that going for us!
So a rather ominous to the very beginning but there is plenty of good news to be had ladies & gents. The hosting this blog resides on is in Amsterdam, Netherlands. You know what that means right? Plenty of pictures of drunken orgies, weed, stolen street signs, cars on fire, firearms, titties, boobs, drugs, sex & rock n’ roll. Why you say is this possible? Because its in an offshore location, you can’t fucking touch it! So we can bypass the draconian patriot act laws of the 4th Reich.
So strap on your safety belt and visit quite often, so you can see what kind of fucked up shenanigans we get into tomorrow!
Did i say drug money?
Titties?
Firearms?
