Calendar: Bukowski died: 03-08-1994

 

[Ponder]

Which calendar, yours, in the some-grimy-hotel-who-knows-where?

 

[Father Luke]

Yeah. The Calendar in my stupid, fucking grimy hotel room. Yeah.

 

[Liuba]

Mr B's date of death coincides with National Woman's day ( in europe anyway ).

 

[number6horse]

March 8th or March 9th - which is it ?

 

[hank solo]

The 9th surely.:confused:

 

[Gerard K H Love]

March 8th? I may not know much but it is the 9th, isn't it??
March 8th is Ralph Getsinger's birthday.
Anyway at this time of the year and a tear will moisten our eyes. His spirit will continue to lighten our hearts- even though he probably wouldn't like me. Not that I'd matter anyway.

 

[Father Luke]

I vote that he's still alive.

All in favor raise your hand.

 

[HarryC13]

I thought he was dead, but this Web site has revived him. Yes, he is very much alive and I am more alive than ever too, alive and writing again. And in some strange and almost magical way, you folks have a lot to do with that.

Hand raised high here!

 

[hank solo]

I vote that he's still alive.

All in favor raise your hand.

Aye.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

If we all raise our hands it will be like a revival. Praise be Bukowski.
Now for today's reading................

 

[Bukfan]

Of course he's still alive! If Jesus lives, so does Buk!
It would have been kinda funny if he died at March 8 (instead of March 9) because March 8 is International Women's Day...:D

[LickTheStar]

That's an awesome image! Got anything a little...bigger?

Bukowski Lives

 

[Never Try]

Today March 9th is the 14th anniversary of when died. Check his tombstone on findagrave.com. Plus the end pages of his books indicate the day that he died as well.

 

[mjp]

Or, you know, you could trust the calendar and the timeline...

 

[Father Luke]

Tell us what you see on Saturday, March 8, Mr Tesseract the Time Keeper.

Again, I look at it as one special day when
Bukowski magically rose from the dead, and allowed us all to have a nice laugh.

Okay,
Father Luke

I vote that he's still alive.

All in favor raise your hand.

hand!

 

[mjp]

I don't know why "Today's events" would show that on the 8th when it isn't in the calendar on the 8th. Maybe "Today's events" secretly hates Bukowski and wishes him dead twice, I don't know.

 

[Father Luke]

The ghost of Bukowski, I'm tellin' ya.
The old man is having a laugh on us.

 

[godwin]

what is the story behind this picture? is it a Michael Montfort? it's a classic.

 

[roni]

the story is simple (and has nothing to do with antisemitism btw):

it IS an MM-pic.
They were walking around to shoot some pics, no special ideas about surrounding or anything. They DID their shooting and were about to end it; on their way back they passed this Jewish graveyard. Spontanously Buk decided to go in there and pose for some pics. Just because it's so uncommon to pose amongst graves. - ... that's it.

Of course, there were 'groups' who took this as an offence. But, please! come on!

(ps: there are more than this one pic at this graveyard.)

 

[HenryChinaski]

listened to buk read. also, went up to the cemetary with dangling and read a couple to the residents.

 

[Rekrab]

Graveyard photo is great. Any more like it?

Again, I look at it as one special day when

i first thought you had super-imposed b in front of his own stone! "doing a lazarus."

Back to our program....for March 9th, for Bukowski, I became a contributing member. It has already paid for itself, I have become somehow enlightened. The spirit lives on and we continue to speculate our fate.
