Aspen dispatch

I saw Hunter S. Thompson in the flesh! We spotted him at the bar in Aspen's posh Hotel Jerome. My colleague Lucy had the balls to go up and introduce herself. She noticed that our favorite gonzo journalist was wearing a rubber band around his wrist, and wondered why.

Lucy: Why are you wearing that rubber band around your wrist?
Dr. Thompson: For lewd purposes.

Awesome. In other news, latkes are definitely the best hangover food, and Ocean's Twelve is this holiday season's must-see sequel.

We'll resume our usual daily commentary on matters of general public concern as soon as this blogger is back on the East Coast and sober.
