“It is all well and good for children and acid freaks to still believe in Santa Claus — but it is still a profoundly morbid day for us working professionals. It is unsettling to know that one out of every twenty people you meet on Xmas will be dead this time next year… Some people can accept this, and some can’t. That is why God made whiskey, and also why Wild Turkey comes in $300 shaped canisters during most of the Christmas season.”

Good stuff as usual, Wayne. I stumbled upon this while looking for HST Christmas quotes.

Thanks for posting this. In my heart he will always carry on and since around this christmas I lost my best friend and father 6 months ago, its good to know they are probably having a good laugh together recalling stories of grand adventures. Rest in peace good doctor and merry christmas to you.

Wayne,

After watching these films its apparent that HST had cameras around a large amount of the time. was this something hunter organized himself or was it more due to promptings by those who wished to film him?? if the filming was done at HST’s request, it makes for a good argument that he was one of the first to come up w/ the concept of “reality TV”. considering some of the content on today’s reality shows, hunter wd have been a ratings blockbuster in his heyday.

any response wd be greatly appreciated.

Wayne, these have been a lot of FUN to read!

I like your style & am quite jealous of the time you spent with my favourite author.

Comment on Football Season by Rex

I recently finished “Hey Rube”. It was a damn insightful read.
Depressing at times too. I find it interesting how HST wove football and wider socio-political issues into his writing – given that he did it so often it might just lend interesting insight into those final words “Football season is over”. In any case, I wonder if Juan is a gambling man?
