HST-Superbowl Sunday 1972 and His Relationship with Technology

I'm not one for sports, so this day is pretty meaningless but completely pumped up for Super Tuesday. Nevertheless, here's an cinematic account of Hunter S. Thompson's Super Bowl Sunday during the political season of 1972.

"Super Sunday,Dawn. My recollections for the last twelve hours are very dim. All that I know for certain is that shortly after I checked in two third world drug abusers dressed as hotel employees forced their way into my room , ransacked it, drank all my liquor, did all my drug, stole my dinner. If security precautions aren't beefed at this hotel I'm looking for safer accommodations. It's a sad state of affairs when this reporter has to go heavily armed to breakfast...And what a breakfast it is...still alive, still kicking. Uh..can I have another round please...Everything... cocktails, food, ya know Super Sunday got a store up as much energy as you can...day like this could go into sudden death. "

Bonus...read this short tale about HST receiving a Mac in it's early form about two weeks ago. Forgot to post.

"Then came this gem: In the mid-80s, tired of getting Hunter S. Thompson's column copy late, by snail-mail, the editors of the San Francisco Examiner took the plunge and sent Thompson a new gizmo called a "Mac." The relationship between the fabled journalist and his electronic tool was reportedly troubled from the beginning. It ended shortly thereafter, when Thompson called his editor screaming in frustration, grabbed his shotgun, and blasted the youthful Steve Jobs's creation to smithereens. Then he sent back the pieces."
