X-Ray Vision
X-RAY VISION
Rank: Pepper Tiberius Rex
Nominated by Tiberius Rex

X-ray vision is the power to see through solid objects. Many comic books and movies have characters with this ability, the most famous is probably Superman.

X-Ray vision quite often doesn't involve X-Rays which would need to bounce of something and come back, instead it is usually just whatever the user decides he wants to see through just becomes transparent. Who wouldn't want to have X-Ray vision, its just plain awesome. You could see, like, through walls, through a lady's clothes.. or ... hmm... through walls... or even through a lady's clothes!

Hunter S. Thompson
HUNTER S. THOMPSON
Rank: George The Dude
Nominated by The Dude

Special Selection July 09

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. "  from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson

Sometimes to understand a life, you must start at the end.  At Hunter S. Thompson's funeral, his ashes were fired from a cannon atop a 153-foot tower of his own design (in the shape of a double-thumbed fist clutching a peyote button) to the tune of Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky" and Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man.

We all are the stars of of our own stories, but Hunter S. Thompson's story just might be a little more interesting.  Creator of Gonzo Journalism, Thompson has written himself into history.  This controversial 20th century writer lived his life on the fringes of society and reported about it in his own literary style.  Critics can debate the quality of his work and the ethics of his choices but that may be the point that he is worth talking about.

This is a man who ran for Sheriff of Aspen, Colorado on the "Freak Power" ticket, on a platform of legalizing marijuana and putting for-profit pot dealers in the stocks.

Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite nominee I've ever sent in. I'm so thrilled to see him in this venue and to see how he'll stack up. I think the only other nominee I'm really enamored with this month is MST3K. reply high five
