Great stuff.
Laughed real good on that one.
Yeah, I randomly came across a hardbound collection of the newspapers. I just recently looked through it and found several mentions.
Thought you guys would get a kick out of it...

Edited to add: Yep, definitely tumescing.

Who says you have to be there?
Wasn't it Franky D.?
" the clouds parted and there he was, bathed in sunshine".

Usually wrong.
Great find! What are the other mentions? Nothing is too insignificant to be of interest to the truely obessed. "Henry Bukowski pays library fine" or maybe "Bullies shake down Henry Bukowski for lunch money"? Please post them. Thanks.

As penance I will recite 3 "FOR JANE..."s and 4 "OLD MAN DEAD IN A ROOM"s.

I believe William "Baldy" Mullinax lives in Hawaii now?
This would be easy to find out.

What the hell ?
I thought Buk was such a conscientious objector/prankster that he flunked out of his physical on purpose. Did he really participate in ROTC ?
I'm having a hard time believing this. :confused:

At Chelsey you had a choice between gym and R.O.T.C. I took R.O.T.C. because then I
didn't have to wear a gym suit and nobody could see the boils on my body. But I hated the
uniform. The shirt was made of wool and it irritated my boils. The uniform was worn from
Monday to Thursday. On Friday we were allowed to wear regular clothes. - Ham on Rye

Isn't that the "Jewish" accountant, Mortenson, who used to "spit in his hands all the time"?
Heh, heh, heh.
Are these the BLACK MOUNTAIN SCHOOL poets that Buk disses?

Reading Buk has made me very uncritical. I despise the people he puts down and admire those he respects, with some exceptions.
I don't know any of the people in the Bukverse so maybe it's time for some sort of GLOSSARY. Something like, " So-and-so, minor poet and university lecturer, befriended Buk in 1963. Later falling out due to literary jealousy, drunkenness and a trollop by the name of Daisy".

William "Baldy" Mullinax was a high school friend of Bukowski and was written about in Ham on Rye and probably some poems. We are just curious if you are him as your name on the forum is "Mullinax" and you have called something "baldy-esque". Just curious, really.

I could be wrong, but I think Eli "Baldy" LaCrosse died about 20 years ago.
Do you really think that I'm an old pal of Buk's?
My "Baldy" information comes mostly from Pleasants' absurd memoir.
If the real Mullinax is still alive and posting here, that would be like having St. Peter rapping about J.C.!
"Baldy" - Show thyself!
I just remembered that Linda complained about Baldy showing up in San Pedro. Something about him being a pest and hard to get rid of. Sort of like my posts here.
That's why we need a GLOSSARY of the Bukverse.
Lemme see now: "JORY SHERMAN, friend and fellow poet, later known for his formulaic cowboy stories. Wrote bittersweet screed about friendship and falling out with Buk, FRIENDSHIP, FAME and BESTIAL MYTH. Not invited to wedding or funeral."
