New Bukowski exhibition at the Huntington in LA (1 Viewer)

Gotcha question!

Kidding aside, it's a great bookmark speech because it says your truth isn't necessarily my truth. At least that's what it says the most in my interpretation. Then it's great because Bukowski blurred the line between fact and fiction so well you could take it all for real while reading.

I guess, I've said this before: you seem to be a cool kid and it's a shame, you've never been to any of our symposiums or even considered a membership in the Buk-Society. I don't know anything about you, except that you're one of the few German Bukowski-Fans, who are worth a shit.
It's strange.

Uh-oh.... more unrest in Germany ? This doesn't bode well for the 21st century...

( I kid ! Of course I kid ! Put down that Luger.... Hey !)

it's ok. it's small font, light grey unrest. it will pass.

and also, it's not on topic, so I think everything will be fine.

plus, roni's busy hitting on the cute Russian girl, so he's distracted.

right in all of this, hooch!

Hell, I call tuna "tuna fish" Redundancy is one of the joys of being alive.

"tuna fish" is what I call canned tuna, but a piece of tuna (like a tuna steak or sushi) I call tuna. Bus, yes, it is redundant.

That was a broadside issued in 1973. Copies are available from various dealers via abebooks.

Ah, that's a fine distinction. The next time I'm called for saying "tuna fish", I'll say "I mean the canned stuff -- NOT fresh tuna! What do you think, I'm stupid?"

And it looks like a fine exhibit at the Huntington.

I was not impressed with the exhibition at the Huntington. Am I the only one?
