I just don't know what to say.

I do.

Famous people fucking die. But leave it to furries to eulogize and make retarded statements like 'I can't believe it' or 'I'm simply speechless' to cling to some memorable event. Christ, was the MUCK ever on fire today with halfhearted and lazy retrospect. If Thompson's liberal tendencies don't bother Groat, expect this to appear in the next WCotP strip.

Regardless. This pioneer of gonzo journalism may be someone we can look to as a spiritual forebear. His work was as influential as it was prolific.

That is about all I can say about that. I can't say I liked him that much.

I had to click the article to even know who he was.

I just don't get the whole mourn a celebrity thing.. in furry or otherwise. Sure, it's unfortunate when anyone dies. But it's not like you knew the person. People die.. even famous ones. Life goes on for everyone else. The whole furry post-to-VCL-and-commorate-the-loss thing is just a way of cashing in for 5 seconds on someone else's 15 minutes of fame.

Hunter S. Thompson dead I'm sorry but that does ruin my day. Of course I'm kind of a hippie anyway.

It's a shame he wasn't dead before they turned that insipid writ of drugs and stupidity into a goddamn movie.

Burn in hell, HST.

I once again feel the urge to kick you in the scrot. He wasn't one of my favorite people in the world, hell; I don't even know that much about him. But if you don't like him, you should be quiet and not touch the thread. Instead you came in and vomited hate all over it, not that I expected anything else from you. Good job.

You hurt my pretty polly princess feelings... on the internet.

SEE IT? USE IT!

You didn't hurt my feelngs. I'm just confused as to why you came into a thread that you shouldn't care about and say something like that. I don't care if it's Hunter S. hompson, Cher or the goddamn queen of england. You act like the man killed your family or did a drive-by at a daycare.

Are you just hateful 24/7?

Wait, I thought we were all about the gratuitous spewing of hate here at CYD. :(

Extremely valid point.

Rankin's advice, take it.

This whole thread reminds me of a really noisy catfight.

Wet fur stinks. Use a flamethrower.
