Hunter S. Thompson's ashes will be fired across his Colorado estate by a cannon, in keeping with his final wishes. The journalist and author committed suicide at his secure compound in Woody Creek on Sunday. He was 67. The Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas author wanted a simple, but bizarre funeral, during which his body is cremated and his ashes blasted across the ranch, according to his lawyer George Tobia Jr. Thompson's friend, journalist Troy Hooper explains, "I believe he wanted to be shot out of a cannon. I understand it's in his will. That's Hunter's style. That's how he would want it. He was a big fan of bonfires and explosions and anything that went bang and I'm sure he'd like to go bang as well."
How fucking awesome is that? I hope they video tape it...

Hunter S. Thompson was a ultra-conservative Republican?

It will be even cooler if they don't cremate him first.

I bet his ashes are worth money in the drug market. Most people here will most likely be willing to snort that shit up.

And I was just commenting that his death was too ordinary. I'm glad his funeral will be strange.

"He was a big fan of bonfires and explosions and anything that went bang and I'm sure he'd like to go bang as well."
Now there's something quoteworthy.
