Well as you can tell by my username...
I'm a bit of a fan of Hunter S. Thompson's writings. What you CANNOT tell from my username is that I am also a bit of a fan of an obscure (to you brits at least) American politician named Marion Barry. Mr. Barry was the mayor of Washington DC for many, many years, a real man of the people. He had served multiple terms as mayor, ruling DC with an iron fist from 1979 to 1991, but in 91 his glorious rule was unfortunately cut short, when he was videotaped smoking crack with a prostitute in a hotel room. The prostitute was later revealed to be an undercover police officer, which prompted Mayor Barry's timeless quote: "Bitch set me up!"

Mr. Barry served six months in prison for his transgressions, but all was forgiven when in 1994 he was reelected as mayor, and served in that post until 1999 when he gracefully stepped down, only to return as a city councilman, where he remains to this day.

Now how did I show my devotion to both of these American heroes? this is how:

The head of Marion Barry on the body of the Venerable Dr. Gonzo, caught in the act of smoking crack. While sadly, I'll never be able to show my creation to Hunter, if I ever run into Marion Barry, I'm getting him to autograph it, which will immediately be inked into permanence. On the off chance that he finds it offensive (how could he?) I will immediately get MARION BARRY HATES THIS TATTOO inked in a place of prominence.
