    I came in through the backdoor

    So instead of being up front with us, he resorts to treating us like we're stupid. Well just for that, I am not going to check out his book on Milk of Magnesia or whatever it is.

    Favorite moment in Born Into This

    I recently re-watched this. There are a lot of moments in Born that I love. But I had forgotten that Harry Dean Stanton knew Buk. Stanton's reading was really well-done. Also liked Tom Waits' reading. Didn't care much for Bono's, though.

    Good to know.

    besotted

    But why do you let your dog do all the work?

    Hello

    Hello, Cavan. "Pleasures..." is a good book for first timers. It's a hodgepodge of Bukowski's other books. Plus a little uncollected material. I'd love to see how your study goes.

    Hello, at last

    Welcome, L.T.! I found Buk through poetry as well. I like "Sifting Through the Madness for the Word, the Line, the Way", "Flash of Lightning Behind the Mountain", and "What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire."

    The Thanksgiving turkey!

    In Julia Child's voice, of course.

    The Thanksgiving turkey!

    If it is, he should say it like Julia Child.

    All forgeries, right?

    I would ask this guy the circumstances under which he "inherited" these sketches.

    Ta gueule, Bukowski!

    Hey, I said "if".

    What's the strangest thing that you have ever eaten?

    You'd probably have better luck being a callboy.

    Finally saw Factotum!

    Tomei was also looking very good in that motorcycle movie I can't think of now with Travolta, Macy, Martin whats-is-name, and some other guy I can't think of. EDIT: It was Wild Hogs! I think.

    Ta gueule, Bukowski!

    If Black Swan is a patapouf, you may have a long wait in store.

    Hello

    Maybe that's usually true, but I've met plenty of women who are pretty good at being men.

    Finally saw Factotum!

    Interestingly, that thread was started on my birthday three years ago.

    Finally saw Factotum!

    That DVD has been laying next to my TV for months. Finally put it in the player Sunday night. I enjoyed it. Maybe not the best movie, but decent acting all around. I thought maybe Dillon was reaching too hard to emulate Buk. But then I also thought perhaps the director tried too hard to...

    Ta gueule, Bukowski!

    Well, ottoman potato just sounds weird.

    Hello

    Those last two posts are comedy gold. Golf claps all around.

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    I'd rather not. Reminds me of a dried out Vonnegut. I feel your pain. Anyone who tries to be Buk doesn't earn much respect around here.

    What's the strangest thing that you have ever eaten?

    Probably the strangest burger on Tailpipes menu is the Shelby Cobra. Toppings include goat cheese and cranberries.

    Tell us about your Great Day?

    Similar and intriguing. I'd be interested in knowing more.

    Ta gueule, Bukowski!

    Then perhaps "patapouf" may be where "couch potato" comes from?
