mfurmane 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Horribly sad...with that said, any being that has consumed the amount of narcotics that man had, combined with the arsenal of weapons he stored in his bedroom closet...it was unfortuantely bound to happen....the Good Doctor had one hell of a run and will be missed, loved, and feared for a long long time.

mattlucas 0 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 He was a part of the ski community in Aspen and wrote a few stories about skiing as well Watch Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to get an idea of his writing. Or if you are smart read the book of the same title. Pretty sad that it came to that Link to post Share on other sites
