What was to be a short caption quickly grew into something else entirely. Thompson first submitted to Sports Illustrated a manuscript of 2,500 words, which was, as he later wrote "aggressively rejected." Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner was said to have liked "the first 20 or so jangled pages enough to take it seriously on its own terms and tentatively scheduled it for publication � which gave me the push I needed to keep working on it," Thompson later wrote.[20]
The result of the trip to Las Vegas became the 1972 book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas which first appeared in the November 1971 issues of Rolling Stone as a two-part series. It is written as a first-person account by a journalist named Raoul Duke on a trip to Las Vegas with Dr. Gonzo, his "300-pound Samoan attorney," to cover a narcotics officers' convention and the "fabulous Mint 400". During the trip, Duke and his lawyer (always referred to as "my attorney") become sidetracked by a search for the American dream, with the aid of copious amounts of marijuana, mescaline, acid, cocaine, and "a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls."

Here is one for when the next "ethics" thread rears it's ugly head.
Quote: |
One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility." |
Eleanor Roosevelt
1884-1962, Former American First Lady |

I work in quality assurance, so I find these quotes very useful:
Quote: |
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
- Mark Twain |
Quote: |
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
- Aldous Huxley |
Quote: |
There is always an easy solution to every human problem � neat, plausible and wrong.
- H.L. Mencken

I know part of this quote was already posted by BA Ware with mention of the source being the US marines but actually the quote comes from David G Wiseman and the full quote is:
Quote: |
We the Willing.
Led by the Unknowing.
Are doing the Impossible For the Ungrateful.
We have done So Much
For So Long With So Little
We are now Qualified
To do Anything With Nothing.

This one is apocryphal, but you never know.

John Brown: � Yes Ma'am, which way did it go�? |

For you Mike, I am hoping (no pun intended, I really am hoping for you) your day turns out better. I quoted this in the PWT first.
Quote: |
You knew that the man running the Find The Lady game was going to win, you knew that people in distress didn't sell diamond rings for a fraction of their value, you knew that life generally handed you the sticky end of the stick, and you knew that the gods didn't pick some everyday undeserving tit out of the population and hand them a fortune.
Except that, this time, you might be wrong, right? It might just happen, yes?
And this was known as that greatest of treasures, which is Hope. It was a good way of getting poorer really very quickly, and staying poor. It could be you. But it wouldn't be. |
