An article by Hunter S. Thompson originally printed in Scanlan's Monthly June 1970, and then was reprinted in his book The Great Shark Hunt.
Thompson is meeting Ralph Steadman for the first time while at the Kentucky Derby. Hunter writes about the havoc and chaos to which Ralph was exposed and the troubles that ensued from them drinking too much. Not once did Hunter mention him or anybody else consuming LSD, or anything other than alcohol during on this trip. While he's there Steadman draws cartoonish pictures of the locals exaggerating their features, and he was told by Thompson to stop showing his foul renderings to the people before he was hurt physically. Hunter's brother is one of the locals to almost kick his ass because he kept insisting he showed him the wonderfully cruel caricature he drew. And in typical fashion Hunter manages to defuse the situation with a can of bear mase.
Hunter went on this trip with the intentions of exposing the face of decadence and depravity in others, but him and Ralph both agreed they looked worst than anything Ralph had drawn while there. The story closes with them racing to the airport to see the "twisted pigfucking" English-man off in the white convertible Thompson rented for the trip.
