-Hunter S. Thompson
What you may not know is that today is “Bourbon Day” — and what better a way to celebrate than Hunter S. Thompson style? (Did you know the “S” stands for Stockton?)
Thompson was an American journalist and author (1937–2005). It is reported that on his first big interview with a major publisher, he downed 20 double-filled shots of Wild Turkey and then “walked out as if he’d been drinking tea.” Thompson loved the bourbon so much that he even convinced Wild Turkey to allow the brand into the film adaption of his novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Well, maybe don’t party quite like Thompson did… but, enjoy your mid-week drink of choice and remember: you’re halfway to Friday!

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.
Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!
Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
