Dr. Thompson

He was the premature reincarnation of Hunter S. Thompson preceding Dr. Thompson’s death by several years. Being premature, peculiarities possessed him like any peculiarities would in anyone reincarnated prematurely; however, the result was to partially negate the once pronounced peculiarities of the original Dr. Thompson himself leaving his reincarnated self less peculiar than he previously was.  The less peculiar reincarnated Dr. Thompson was thus not so peculiar but rather just slightly odd and as it turned out the difference between peculiar and slightly odd was the difference between brilliance and ordinary. He went on in fact to live a rather ordinary life burdened with the gnawing sense that there was something more to life, which is in fact the hallmark of a very ordinary life. Had the Reincarntor 5000 functioned as it should have back on that day of February 20, 2005, as opposed to malfunctioning several years before, the world would have had another fully peculiar Hunter S. Thompson to walk the earth and would have been better for it.  But it did malfunction when it did causing the world to be an all the more ordinary place.
