Hunter S. Thompson lived up to his legend as the Godfather of Gonzo Journalism the other night at a book signing in West Hollywood. A wobbly Thompson reportedly vomited outside the Book Soup store and signed copies on the floor inside as celebrity pal Benicio del Toro - who starred in the film adaptation of Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" - helped him hold his head up. "Hunter was drinking and smoking and yelling out weird obsenities every once in a while," says our spy. "Good to see the stories are true.I don't know. I just found it hillarious that somebody had a book signing while passed out on the floor of a store. That's more heroic than Schilling pitching with a bum ankle to me. Try being drunk, and having who knows what kind of acid flashback, puking all over yourself, and all over Benicio del Toro, but continuing the signing. That's a fucking professional. I wonder if Benicio carved a Z in Hunter's forehead.
