Strangegirl;

Those are damn fine questions.

Bill

 

[roni]

That would be Mr. Hamilton, Gilbert & Sullivan and the ruler of the queens navy.

 

[strangegirl]

My bad ..... See I told you .."No good with the trivia."

Alright Roni the Gilbert and Sullivan, bonus question was correct. But I should have specified that I was looking for the name of his Real Life City College English teacher, not the name he used for him in Ham on Rye.

So question to the panel....:confused:
Does he get the win,
Or should I hold out for the real life English Teacher?

 

[roni]

maybe this helps the decision:

She (the waitress) trundled over.

But since I'm shy of a good question, maybe we'd wait for someone to come up with the teacher, so he (or she) would have to make up a new question.

 

[CRBSMILE]

Trundled, is a GREAT word!

No, I don't have the answer to this question, I just really like that word! I'll move on over to the 'pothead' thread now. Thanks. See-ya'. Bye.:)

 

[David]

Was Hank's Gilbert and Sullivan spouting teacher at LACC Mr. Richardson?

 

[Bukfan]

I'll move on over to the 'pothead' thread now. Thanks. See-ya'. Bye.:)

You mean, trundle over to the pothead thread, right? ;)

 

[David]

Where's the pothead
thread?

 

[CRBSMILE]

i don't know i can't find it where are we where's chronic at?;)

(somewhere in the all things not Bukowski thread would be my best guess)CRB:)

 

[chronic]

Where's the pothead
thread?

i don't know i can't find it where are we where's chronic at?;)

(somewhere in the all things not Bukowski thread would be my best guess)CRB:)

I'm over here, in The Pothead Thread.

 

[CRBSMILE]

You mean, trundle over to the pothead thread, right? ;)

You got that straight Buddy!:D

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Is there a Three Stooges thread?

 

[strangegirl]

maybe this helps the decision:

She (the waitress) trundled over.

But since I'm shy of a good question, maybe we'd wait for someone to come up with the teacher, so he (or she) would have to make up a new question.

You got it Roni.

I liked that word trundled too.
(Betting on the Muse, The Suicide, pg300)

This was a multiple choice and you got the first question right and of course the bonus question as well.
I guess the hint for the 2nd question would lie somewhere in the Barry Miles, Bukowski Book some where around pg.45

So Roni the ball is in your court.:D

 

[David]

Hey Strangegirl, I answered up at #86!

 

[strangegirl]

Hi David,

Sorry, you did get that up there at #86.
Mr Hamilton was the correct answer.
Roni got the "She trundled over." answer in post #84.

Oh boy now I've done it.........:confused:

 

[David]

OK, I'll flip a coin.......OK, RONI gets to ask the next question!

 

[roni]

Bastard! I still don't have one.
Now you'll have to wait and it's all your fault!

 

[roni]

okay, here we go:

Just before Jon Pinchot threatens Firepower with the plan to cut of parts of his body, beginning with the fingers, he makes a short attempt to get his movie back with a less extreme action.

Which action?

 

[strangegirl]

Ok at first I was gonna say Hunger Strike, but actually I think it is to have Friedman release the film to Edleman and to keep the money that was coming to Jon.

 

[roni]

too KEEP the money??? This would you consider LESS extreme than cutting of a few useless bodyparts???

No, baby, of course the Hunger-Strike was right.

Let's pretend you didn't have second thoughts and Go on with the next question!

 

[strangegirl]

Okay I'll pretend:D

Alright here it is:

After corresponding with John William Corrington for several years they finally met at who's home?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

They met at the home of Jon and 'Gypsy Lou' Webb in New Orleans.

 

[strangegirl]

You are correct.
Well done Gerard.
The ball is now in your court.:)

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Okay, what brand of refrigerator is on stage with Bukowski in his San Francisco reading featured in the elusive Hackford Documentary?

 

[Ambreen]

Whirlpool ?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

No. The brand is no longer being made.

 

[bospress.net]

Electrolux?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

coldspot?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

A true drinker would notice the source of the drink. Correct, you are it.

I think they still make Electrolux and it is a vacuum cleaner. A beer kept in that would suck.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

give me a few minutes....

 

[hoochmonkey9]

ok. more than a few minutes. heh.

easy one: How many poems did Bukowski have in Penguin Modern Poets 13?

 

[roni]

25


What is the first known typo on a Bukowski-A-item?

 

[bospress.net]

My guess would be misspelling "Street" as SREET, but that seems too obvious. Are you looking for an earlier one with a typo inside?

If so, then it is the book with the binding that smells like apples.

Bill

 

[roni]

right, that would be too obvious.
I'm looking for an earlier one with a typo outside.

(maybe 'typo' isn't the right word. I'm asking for a misspelling.)

 

[cirerita]

A deliberate misspelling?

 

[roni]

to my knowledge, at first it was an accident, but the decision to KEEP that error was deliberate.

 

[bospress.net]

Longshot POMES?

Again, this seems too obvious. Maybe something earlier?

I know that LONGSHOT POEMS is spelled "Poems" on the title page.

Bill

 

[roni]

yes, it was the one I was thinking of.

 

[bospress.net]

I think that was intentional on the cover.

I think that the typo was the spelling as "poems" on the title page.

Surely, someone can answer this. I thought that this was mentioned in Sounes?

Bill

 

[roni]

I think I've read that in Neeli's about 15 years ago. So I might be wrong about intention/accident. But anyway, it's a typo/misspelling, so, BoS: it's yours!
