3. “Large, Dangerous Things…”

November 17, 1997

Q: I remember a series of stories called “large dangerous things that go fast” and “small dangerous things that go fast” I think Hunter Thompson might have even wrote them. I would love to get may hands on a copy, there is a great story about waking up moonshine blind !

A: That appeared in the March ’77 (Science and Technology) issue. It was written in a Thompson-esque style. Thompson never wrote for NatLamp. (Thanks to both Joshua Fiero and Kurt Meyer for this answer.)

It was written by P.J. O'Rourke; those stories can currently be found here: http://www.bizbag.com/O'Rourke/O'Rourke-Poisonous%20Junk.htm (and if the copyright gestapo remove that site, try the Way Back Machine at archive.org).
