CPAC reminds me of the late twenties and early thirties when the elite of what was to become Nazi Germany were beginning to strut their stuff.
Next cometh the jack boots.

Hey, lexicon, I know this thread’s dead, but . . . most of us here have read HST. But he’s, y’know, deceased. It’s nice to see his tradition being honored here. Homage is a reasonable word for it. “Plagiarization,” for a variety of reasons, is not.

IF you liked this and thought it was pretty cool, then you haven’t read Hunter S. Thompson.

Go find Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and then come back here.

This is a credible effort at homage to the master of gonzo…if not an outright plagiarization.

oh, well…it’s fun, I’m cynical, it’s all good.

I got as far as the reference to Nomic, but then my brain shut down from sheer horror.

Wow, posing for pictures with Frat Boy, Mama’s Boy and Grampa Jones. I’m not sure, but I think she’s about to claw out Frat Boy’s eyes.

ortho bob, that is just scary! Is that the real pamatlas or just a cardboard cutout? And if she is real, is the guy in the front about to careen into her breasts? And if he is about to careen into her breasts, why does she seem so calm?

the doors of his face…

the lamps of his mouth.

That was my first thought, too. Zelazny is about ten times more interesting than Job, anyway.

As someone already mentioned, Pierce, watch the booze on top of the painkillers (if you’re indeed on Vicodin, rather than just trying out the HST rhetorical vibe). An ER trip would really wreck your time there, maybe even worse than accidentally getting stuck in an elevator with Ann Coulter.

The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth:

Holy crap, I didn’t even notice the Zelazny reference the first time around. Well done, sir; I doff my cap to you.
