I don’t care whether this qualifies as news or not, because it’s awesome. It’s a picture of Hunter S. Thompson, John Cusack, and Johnny Depp riding around in a convertible with a blow-up doll. Remember when Hunter took off to Las Vegas in search of the American Dream? There was no need. It was right here all along. Right here in this picture. Also, I know they stink, they’re expensive, they rot your teeth, they give you wrinkles, and they’re bad for you, but can any person honestly deny that cigarettes are really f*cking cool?

ADDITIONAL NON-TIMELY TRIVIA: In a recent interview, Cameron Crowe said that in the boombox scene in Say Anything, the song John Cusack was playing was actually “Bonin’ in the Boneyard” by Fishbone.
John Cusack is playing Fishbone’s ‘Bonin’ in the Boneyard’ in the actual scene, but when we put the movie together, it didn’t work at all. He seemed like a crazed Fishbone fan who just happened to be outside her window.
Yep, that’s pretty weird.

I’m so glad they invented that machine that makes smoking safe.
They mentioned it in Thank You For Smoking, but I haven’t seen it in stores. Must be trying it on a test market first…
The only way that picture could be more awesome is if Bill Murray was in it. But then we’d all go blind. Probably be worth it though.
Bonin’ in the Backyard sounds way dirtier than Bonin’ in the Boneyard. Nice work, Mancini!
Holy crap. Someone commission a new Mt Rushmore!
Not quite as cool: My polaroid of Dave Barry, Jeremy Piven and Richard Grieco lightsaber dueling with fleshlights.
Winning.
If it had been “Party at Ground Zero,” that would have been fine. Just fine.
I assume this picture was taken by a Japanese guy who speaks like Howard Cosell.
Not pictured behind them in a Volkswagen Cabrio were Jeremy Piven, Peter DeLuise and Dean Koontz.
Party at Ground Zero does fucking rule.
This pic is from the opening minutes of “Breakfast With Hunter” A wicked awesome documentary. Look it up, there’s a great scene where he berates Alex Cox and his writing partner over the original direction of “Fear and Loathing”
weird, i had always read cusack was playing “within your reach” by the replacements, (which is in the film, but cusack wanted it in the scene)then put peter gabriel over it.
I always heard it was “Hooker With a Penis” by TOOL. Granted, that band wasn’t even formed at the time, but that’s where Steven Seagal comes into play.
hey whatever happened to fishbone anyway? on second thought, actually i don’t give a shit.
Wendy’s drive-thru best case scenario
“Yeh, I’d like a Quarter-pounder, a whopper, some caviar, a bowl of figs, and a gallon of yogurt. What’ll you have? Not you, Cusack, I was talking to the blow up doll.”
of course Cusack is riding bitch
I am positive there were no banned pharmacological substances involved…..
