    A Hunter Thompson quote I read in the press.

    “I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.”

    Or maybe he blamed the typewriter for writer’s block.

    What it means? It’s Hunter Thompson. He was out of his mind on drugs, and he shot something. This time it was his typewriter. Another time it was his assistant (accidentally, we’re told).
