Ok,
I say if the person who guesses correctly doesn't post a new question within 24 hours,
They forfeit their chance
And whoever spots the time lapse
Gets to post the next question...

So let the game continue!
Whoever sees this first->
Riddle us this, Riddle us that,
And

Give us a good puzzler...

how many times did B get married?

I think twice -- Barbara Fry and Linda B. He never married Marina's mother, even though she was occasionally referred to as his wife.

alright,
What was the name of Hank's grandfather, who gave a young Buk his medals from the war of 1870?

Manfred von Richthofen - a.k.a. the Red Baron.
German flying ace of the Great War (WWI)

In Ham on Rye, Bukowski refers to him as Baron Von Himmlen. He tells the story of writing the story in a yellow exercise book while recuperating during his treatment for acne vulgaris.

Is that the President's visit to the Los Angeles Coliseum (that he didn't actually witness, but claimed to have written a moving account of for a school report)?

that's right. He was supposed to attend Hoover's visit, but he didn't and instead made the whole thing up and got away with it!

I think there are 2 or 3 poems titled "Experience", and the one Chinaski was thinking of is probably the one about the sculptress. Being an early poem, I doubt it's Linda King.
