A bizarre new service that allows you to lock and load your loved one's ashes is blowing up on the internet. Holy Smoke, based in Stockton, Alabama, boasts a 'tribute to your outdoorsman or woman like no other,' according to their website. The company offers a means to 'continue to protect your home and family even after you are gone,' by turning ashes into fully-functioning bullets. Guns n' ashes: Holy Smoke says it offers its customers the opportunity for the deceased to continue to protect his or her home after they're gone So how does it work? Once the deceased57;s family decides the calibre and gauge of the ammunition, they send one pound of their dead relative's ashes. From ashes to gunpowder: Holy Smoke offers the ability to go on one last hunting trip with your dead loved one From there, the staff place a portion of the cremated remains into each shotshell or cartridge, depending on the ammo selected. In return, Holy Smoke sends the family a case of up to 250 bullets for display in the home or to take on a hunting trip. The company claims its methods add up to a fraction of the cost of most burial services cost. Prices begin at $1,250 for the 250 rounds for shot guns and pistols, and 100 rounds for rifles. The type of service, which is offered through their website MyHolySmoke.com, is unconventional, but certainly not unheard of. In 2005, the ashes of author Hunter S. Thompson were famously shot out of a cannon, six months after the Gonzo journalist killed himself. The celebration was funded mostly by Pirates of the Caribbean actor and Thompson's close friend Johnny Depp. The ashes of the late author Hunter S. Thompson were loaded into a cannon he designed and fired in 2005 as part of a spectacular light show

A true creature of the "left". A coward and a creep. He PRETENDED to be BRAVE, but in the end, he was a COWARD. He blew his brains out in his own house setting it up so that his son and current wife would find him. Ever seen what a .45 acp does when applied to a human skull? THAT was vile, THAT was COWARDLY and MEAN. FUCK Hunter S. Thompson, and every one of you ignorant fucks who think that he was someone worth emulating in any way.
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
A true creature of the "left". A coward and a creep. And a truly mediocre writer.
. His early works showed some promise IMO, and was mostly OK. Hemingway and he have only two things in common, they both made a living writing and both turned out to liars and cowards and FRAUDS; which they PROVED when they BOTH ended up committing suicide. Truly worthy "heros". /NOT

Sonny Barger said "He’s probably the greatest writer in the world." I disagree with that sentiment, too.
LOL! I hear you on THAT! Sonny Barger has never been on any of my respected literary critics lists. It wasn't his writing as much as it was the story and fictional character that he played all of his life. I like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". But it was the last one I could even stand. He degenerated into a exemplar of burnt out wing nut libTURD jobs. He couldn't even manage a sports column at the end. He stands imo as a cautionary tale to us ALL about how a talent can be destroyed by a dissipated life. In the end I believe that his life was a FRAUD and a WASTE. Which makes him the PERFECT poster child for today's libTURD LOSERS.

But a fitting inspiration for a cartoon character.
. I agree with that, it really made me really HATE and despise his COWARDICE for setting it up so that his son and wife would find him after he ate a .45 acp. Suicide is unforgivable. But rubbing it into your family's face is even worse. Hurting your own family ON PURPOSE, is what a CREEP and COWARD does. F him.
