As a longtime lurker, there were some times when I thought the banhammer was used a little too liberally on this board, but considering most of the people banned were just shitposters it's not a big deal. Still, sometimes it is funny to read a good troll. Had it been me, I would have tolerated...

Shit! I'll just move my drunkposting over to that saloon then. Thank you.

I was either listening to this song or this song while 35th street was burning in San Diego sometime after midnight but before normies wake up for their jobs. It looked like the fog I used to see rolling in from the East Bay to the Peninsula on the interstate. I hope those poor fellows are ok.

I've got some scotch here on ye olde desk ... How about you ? At the moment I've got some Cutty Sark and Chivas here, but I also like some of those Scotch whiskeys with the hard-to-pronounce names ... What the hell do the rest of you like? Beer? Wine? What the hell ... Let's expand our...

I never realized how divided young voters were in past generations! We really are the wildest-eyed liberals yet. Perhaps I am just getting older and so are my peers... after all, I'll nearly be middle-aged by the next election. Nonetheless, the rise of the so-called alt-right on my old...

But don't those arrows run contrary to that notion? Young people got more conservative and the elderly got more liberal since 2012. Take a screenshot of this post in 2020. I predict that the 18-29 crowd will be even more conservative in 2020. This new crop of kids is more conservative, I'm...

Numbers give the impression of authority, however, that image was circulating before the election, so it doesn't indicate anything about the actual election results. Remember how someone said Clinton stood a 91.9% chance of winning? Wow! they even narrowed it down to a tenth! So the other 8.1%...

I mostly followed whatever the San Diego Free Press said in their voter guideline. I'm probably one of the select few below the age of 30 who read their press. The EU? While it lasts! Personally I would have voted against Brexit but I can only imagine more such things happening in other...

I'm reading a lot of B. Traven. His writing is good approximately 99% of the time. I had read The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and seen the film some time ago, but didn't venture into other works. He is definitely a writer whom I imagine that Bukowski would have liked had he read him.

Getting back to the original poster in 2008: I'm of the stance that any artist that deviates from the norm needs a stern flogging. Degenerate art degrades the nation and her race. This Kate Tempest is a bard. I'll have a lookee around for her work.

Fuckin' hell you lot... (3 pints)

For some reason I had thought that was how it was supposed to be when I was a teenager, as if good writing is homework to figure out. I recommend James' short stories, but personally, his style gets on my nerves in the longer works. Favorites are "The Aspern Papers" and "The Turn of the...

I do like Kafka and Flaubert. When I first read a lot of the classics, I did it more because I felt it was mandatory, which isn't always fun. Now I do whatever the hell I want with my free time, though I'm glad I got a bigger picture of the literary scene. EDIT: When I think about it, a better...

Thank you for the context, especially concerning royalties. I've read the posts about the Martinization of Bukowski's poetry and the incident about Women, but when this letter is viewed by itself without that frame around it, it is hard to tell whether the letter is just friendly banter or...

And Americans, got mine at an art supply store. Hardcover and orange, woah...
