Hunter S. Thompson
Salvadore Dali

If you could have spent 1 year with one of these guys, who would it have been?

Hunter S. Thompson Salvadore Dali
- a true writer and character

- an American journalist and author, best known for being the creator of Gonzo journalism, a style of reporting in which the reporters involve themselves in the action to such a degree that they become the central figures of their stories.

- "two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers.... A quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls

- known for his promotion and use of psychedelics and other mind altering substances (and to a lesser extent, alcohol and firearms), his libertarian views, and his iconoclastic contempt for authoritarianism

- Born July 18, 1937 in Louisville, Kentucky, USA

- "Fear and Loathing, Rolling Stone, Rum Diary, Hells Angels, Movies, Photography, Documentaries...there are just WAY TOO many things to list - GO HERE AND PLEASE LEARN SOMETHING

- YOU REALLY SHOULD read some of his quotes

- On August 20, 2005, in a private ceremony, Thompson's ashes were fired from a cannon atop a 153-foot tower of his own design (in the shape of a double-thumbed fist clutching a peyote button) to the tune of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man"

- "That's a very....profoundly personal commentary on your perception. I believe I'd flee after saying anything like that. Jesus. Foreigners....."

- F You Bear! He and Conan O'Brien shoot guns

- he describes HOW HE WANTS TO DIE...his funeral

- if you have about 35 minutes....drink some whiskey, put a tab on your tongue and enjoy
- a TRUE artist and character and wearer of a phenomenal mustache

- flamboyant painter and sometime writer, sculptor and experimental film-maker, Salvador Dali was probably the greatest Surrealist artist, using bizarre dream imagery to create unforgettable and unmistakable landscapes of his inner world. His most famous work is The Persistence Of Memory which was completed in 1931

- Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquis of Púbol (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989), was a Spanish surrealist painter

- Certainly not a good way to learn about DALI ... but Wikipedia does good coverage and puts it all together nicely...CHECK IT

- get your mustache all waxed up and go HERE - VIRTUAL DALI!

- Dalí's artistic repertoire also included film, sculpture, and photography.

- here's a cartoon he did posthumously with Disney...an academy award nominated short

- The Dali Gallery

- Dude liked Chocolate, alka seltzer and wine

- some really weird stuff

- Manitas De Plata,Jose' Reyes with Salvador dali

- Alfred Hitchcock's - The Dream - Designed by Dali

- LOTS OF EFF'D UP VIDEOS ON THIS PAGE

A chance to live Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas with the man himself. I'm there. Just have to make sure we find a reasonable place to park.

What’s the point of a year with Hunter? You won't remember it. Dali was the man. He boffed almost every model he ever drew plus he was a master at painting. I would learn a lot from a year with Dali. I guess that’s the choice, learn for a year or decay for a year. I choose learn. Decaying is fun, but not for a year

I do love this Hunter quote though: "Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish — a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow — to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested... Res ipsa loquitur. Let the good times roll."

this might be considered cheating BUT...i would go live with dali and invite hunter over to hang out and write about it. Dali would show me how to grow a tight mustache, then i would use that and give free mustache rides to the hot models we paint. hey now.

I would rather trip out on all kinds of crazy drugs in a vegas hotel room than paint weird pictures of tigers jumping around crazy staircases.

what I meant was... you are all nuts, well not you monkey and destroya. you are basically saying, yeah I would hang out with pete wentz for a year over mozart. with jeff nye the science guy over einstein. i know hunter was funny and I know he portrayed himself a maverick and the ultimate experimenter, but Dali was a world renowned artistic master. He was a creative genius and frankly real fuckin twisted himself, so I am sure you would have your share of experiences to write home about.

Hunter was kinda sad at the end. Dali was too but in a sell out/make money/real person sorta way while Hunter was just plain sad. Talk about burnt out, whatever noble or articulate thoughts he had in his head he couldn’t even verbalize. Plus if you think your hanging out with Dali for a year and not tripping from time to time your an idiot.

You can appear to be a dripping clock, but when you come down, you will still be a hairy samoan.

Good question. Takes it up a notch. I gotta go Dali, I think it would expose you to a really interesting crowd and international circuit of folks which would be very cool. Also, I don't think I could handle a year of living like Hunter, I am not sure I could even take a long weekend of living like Hunter.
