[the only good poet]

ok, i know it's right: i read it...

my turn: what was the name of the mag b. first appeared in in britain?

 

[cirerita]

Satis...

 

[the only good poet]

i never had any illusions there... lead the way, cire...

 

[cirerita]

let's stick to this thread: name the mag which first published B in the continental Europe...

 

[Bukfan]

Was it Carl Weissner's mag "Klactoveedsedsteen" ?

 

[cirerita]

almost but not quite. Klacto was pub. in September '67 and there was this other mag which published B in July '66...

 

[bospress.net]

Hola,
Vagabond? I know that John Bennett published this out of Germany for a while.... Maybe he was publishing Vagabond in the US in '66. Not sure...


Bill

 

[cirerita]

almost there. In fact, I just learned that Vagabond was first published in Munich during the '66 summer, but no specific date is mentioned. The other mag I was thinking of was definitely published in July '66.

Another hint: the mag. was published in Belgium.

Labris #4/5.

Hmmm... thinking time...

 

[grayxray]

I am going to visit Buk's grave today -- Don't Try

 

[cirerita]

Labris #4/5.

right on!

 

[grayxray]

Who claims to have pissed on Buk's grave?

 

[hank solo]

Oh shit...

 

[mjp]

Who claims to have pissed on Buk's grave?

Well I guess you showed him.

 

[grayxray]

Not Me

I did not do it but guess who did --- somebody famous!

 

[mjp]

G. Gordon Liddy?
Oprah Winfrey?
Popeye?
Santa Claus?

Who cares.

Only a teenager or a jerkoff would consider pissing on someone's grave, and only a tremendously worthless piece of shit would brag about it.

 

[grayxray]

Disagree

I think Buk would have gotten a kick out of it -- like it is not that serious and I am sure he pissed a few placed that were not proper -- in fact maybe we should all take a piss for Buk.

Labris #4/5.

Hmmm... thinking time...

Ok, nearly forgot to do this.

Er, here's an easy one.

Where did the Bukowski family stay on their arrival in the US before moving to L.A.?

 

[bospress.net]

Philly?

 

[hank solo]

Nope, that's not the answer I'm after.
Pretty warm tho.

 

[bospress.net]

[hank solo]

Ok, Your turn Bill.

 

[bospress.net]

OK. This is a REALLY easy one. What was the name of the ship that the Bukowski's took over from Germany in 1922 (was that the year, or was it 1923?)

Bill

 

[Bukfan]

It was in 1923, April 18, on the SS President Fillmore (Bremerhaven to Baltimore). - Right?

 

[bospress.net]

Hi,
You got it. And gave us much more than I expected....

GREAT

Bill

 

[Bukfan]

Thanks to Miles Buk bio;)

Ok, next question:

What was the name of Buk?s childhood/teenage friend who introduced him to drinking?

 

[ROC]

Eli LaCrosse
AKA 'Baldy'

 

[ROC]

Thats from Ham on Rye.

His real name was William Mullinax.

 

[ROC]

...and if that is right (and I think it is)...

In 1966 Border Press announced a forthcoming publication, a book of poetry by one Charles Bukowski.
It never appeared.
What was the title of that book going to be?

 

[cirerita]

Atomic Scribblings...

 

[ROC]

The full title?
It's worth it.

 

[cirerita]

Atomic Scribblings From A Maniac Age

 

[Bukfan]

Eli LaCrosse
AKA 'Baldy'

That?s right!

 

[ROC]

[cirerita]
