Invocation of Hunter S. Thompson

Performed on the 20th floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Indianapolis, IN. During Gen Con.

See Fear and Loathing at the Super Bowl, Rolling Stone, February 24th, 1974.

“Beware! For the Devils also believe, and tremble!”

“For we wrestle not, against flesh and blood — but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world — and, yes — against spiritual wickedness in high places!”

“Discipline!” Remember Vince Lombardi!” 

Pause

“Remember George Metesky! He had discipline!”

“Revelations, Twenty-fifteen! Say Hallelujah! Yes! Say Hallelujah!”

“Four more years! My friend General Haig has told us that the Forces of Darkness are now in control of the Nation — and they will rule for four more years!” 

I paused to sip my drink

“And Al Davis has told us that whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire!”

I reached around behind me with my free hand, slapping at a spot between my shoulder blades to slow the thing (leech) down.

“How many of you will be cast into the lake of fire in the next four years? How many will survive? I have spoken with General Haig, and…”

“This is Super Sunday! I want every one of you worthless bastards down in the lobby in ten minutes so we can praise God and sing the national anthem!”

Pull Back

 “There he goes!”

“He’s headed for the lobby! Watch out! It’s Al Davis. He has a knife!”
