October Gonzo Journalist Still Missing
by Amy Snogger
[This article appeared in the Sept 24th edition of the
"Franklin Crapper" newspaper.]
Franklin, NH - Famed Author and Gonzo journalist R.S Mckinney, also
known as Lord Duke among other alias' has still not
surfaced after a promised appearance to receive an
automobile he purchased in Malden, MA. this summer. The last known
message from McKinney was an e-mail his Attorney
received weeks ago.
"Duke can be flighty at times," said Alesandro. "He could be holed up
in a Russian bathhouse as we speak snorting Ritalin and having his
testicles licked by large burly women named Svetlana. But he's probably
just drunk somewhere, writing."
Don Vito JR, reputed underboss of a Massachusetts' crime family,
wouldn't comment to this reporter except to mumble from his gated yard
"...the fuckin Screwheads got him i bet..but if not, you tell him to
come get his car. There's a goddamn stink coming from the trunk,
smells like rotten gabbagool......"
Alessandro, McKinney's large, neurotic Attorney tells me over a beer at
a local watering hole that Duke seemed to have had a life changing
experience somewhere between Burning Man and the last e-mail he sent.
"I hope he didn't turn queer on us." This reporter wonders different.
Recent checks at jigglebox.com, Duke's web site, show that the
last submission there was on the 4th of Sept. He seemed to be on his
way back east. One has to wonder what could have befallen our hero of
the wierd. Maybe someone should check out that trunk.
