In the spirit of Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005), who once set fire to a chartered fishing boat off the Big Island of Hawaii because the captain turned into a Nazi the minute he stepped aboard and who shouted "Remember Pearl Harbor!" at Japanese tourists waving from the shore:
I plan to go to Waikiki beach today (the 64th anniversary of the "day of infamy") and greet Japanese tourists with Dr. Gonzo's cry of "Remember Pearl Harbor!" It should be fun to see their reaction.
Wait then wouldn't you have to set fire to yourself?
Do, or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
Dr. Gonzo never set fire to himself. I COULD go to the Honolulu Yacht Basin and set fire to a million-dollar yacht. Hunter would have dug that.Originally Posted by papayahed
But he did set fire to the capt'ns boat for being a nazi and yelling "remember pearl harbor" to the Japanese tourists, which is what you said you wanted to do..

Pay attention, Pineapplehed! Dr. Gonzo set fire to the fishing boat he chartered, NOT HIMSELF. Sheesh!
But your not going to be on a boat....

Are you two related? Sounds like a father son argument to me. And you are REALLY going to do that? What if one of those Japanese tourists is the descendant of one of those men who did that unbelievable thing? I don't want one showing up over your house with a helicopter one evening when you are cooking things on the barbie. I wish I never would have read your post, now I am just going to worry about you.
pineapple head, I cannot believe you said that. I know what he means though, in lieu of the fact you won't actually be on a boat perhaps you could just burn a little rice paper one, or a bunch each time you say it, but boy I would run right after!
And papayahead, beyond the fact that you are hilariously tenacious when you have a point, may I be so bold to ask if you are like that in everyday life in usual situations.
You two should start a thread just arguing. I LOVE IT!!!! I will just take my breaks at the computer each day and have some popcorn and a nice cup of coffee and laugh til I cry.
Starr, do you think this is one those you are trying to educate and by the way if oiled, rhinocerous hide can be very lovely and soft. In other words 'don't believe you", I see little flowers sticking out of that heart of yours.

something terrible just occurred to me.
Papaya i don't know if you are a boy or girl and then i looked under your avatar and saw the word chick. if that is so
PLEASE FORGIVE ME. then it would be a father daughter thing, even more fun.
oh this whole thing about mr. gonzo is getting confusing and exhausting.
i think i will go outside in the snow and shout " Canadians can't skate and Red Green is a moron" and then I can read your posts from the icu of our hospital.
Rachel, Rachel. (Wasn't that the title of a movie with Joanne Woodward?)
Papayahed is my spiritual daughter. She needs my guidance -- and severe discipline occasionally.
Popcorn is good.
Those are barnacles, not flowers.
Sometimes, depends if the person I'm dealing with needs a beat down...And papayahead, beyond the fact that you are hilariously tenacious when you have a point, may I be so bold to ask if you are like that in everyday life in usual situations.
Yes I am a chick - its hard to tell simply going by screen names, I laughed when I read it.
HeHeHePapayahed is my spiritual daughter. She needs my guidance -- and severe discipline occasionally.good gravy! My Karma can't be that bad!!!

My head is bloodied, but unbowed.
Bite your tongue. Haven't you read the posts stating that "chick" is a derogatory term for woman?
You're lucky, grasshopper, to have a spiritual godfather like me to show you THE WAY.
It is interesting that you would use the expression "good gravy," Papaya. After reading some of his posts, I began to suspect that there might be something more to this man who calls himself "Starrwriter." After many hours of intensive textual analysis of his posting history, I have discovered some startling facts about Mr. Starrwriter:good gravy! My Karma can't be that bad!!!
1. He is a writer.
2. He lives in Hawaii.
3. His real identity is none other than famous 60's icon:
Wavy Gravy!!
Good "gravy" indeed.

You're a funny man, Basil. I'll bet you're a riot at the local pub after knocking back 8 or 10 ales in a row.
I don't think Basil needs any ale to be a 'riot'! He is a natural!
