absurdist

An adjective describing a form of theatre that makes absolutely no sense what so ever. It involves plays with near impossible scenerios, characters and bizarre dialogue that is meant to make the audience ask, "What the hell?" Absurdist plays usually have anti-climactic endings and underlying, symbolic meanings that no one gets except the author.

"Waiting for Godo" is the most famous absurdist play ever.

Gonzo Journalism

A form of journalism invented by Hunter S. Thompson. It involves the reporter reporting the action as he/she is in it. Elements are part experience and part fiction. The best example of Gonzo journalism is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It was a book from 1971 made into a Johnny Depp movie in 1998.

From fisrt glance, I knew immedialtely that this God-forshaken rest stop was no place for a Gonzo journalist.
