The Breakfst Of A Bastard
How do you like your breakfast? Personally, I’m a  fan of a very strong cup of coffee and yogurt with fruit. I once had an  editor who ate a full fry-up (eggs, bacon, toast, the works) and drank  hot chocolate every morning of the week, and I always thought that was  pretty eccentric. Then I read this letter on Lapham’s Quarterly’s  website, in which a young Hunter S. Thompson details just what he looks  for in his first meal of the day. Even given the writer’s famously hard  liver, it’s pretty … extreme. Thompson digs four Bloody Marys, two  grapefruits, a pot of coffee, something called “Rangoon crêpes,” a  half-pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned-beef hash with diced  chilies, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, pie, two  margaritas, and six lines of your finest Colombian marching powder for  “dessert.” Oh, and he likes to take it after noon, alone, outdoors, and  naked as a jaybird. Well, that’s one way to wake up. [via The Atlantic Wire]
